Chapter 113 – 27. Overwhelming. (One)
Allen Danju gathered as much information as possible about the Witchbeast.
Moo, the goat’s cry.
Human-like bipedal walking.
A goat’s head, a lion’s body, and a monkey’s arms.
Huge size.
With that, Allen roughly inferred the identity of the Witchbeast.
Vendradan-. Aka goat’s head.
The mere Witchbeast even having a name meant that he was an aide among the devil’s minions. Of course, that’s how powerful it is.
Of course, that’s not to the point of trembling, but it’s definitely a tough existence for the poor southern mercenaries to deal with. In addition, to have a monster from the Devil’s Land under his command, the level of difficulty has risen even higher.
Since it is a monster brought out from hell by summoning magic, there is a way for the summoned wizard to reverse summon it again, but seeing as the wizard’s whereabouts are completely unknown, it seems that he has already suffered from the summoned beast. … Well, you probably don’t know that there’s nothing good in keeping a mage alive unless the demon beast is an idiot.
… Actually, this situation didn’t happen in Berher from the beginning, but Berher was the only nearby city directly related to the Demonic Realm, so it was like they had to clean up the cheap shit that others had to do. Still, what can I do? After all, it’s the law of the world for someone in a hurry to dig a well.
Anyway, based on that information, Allen re-armed the mercenaries. I changed the first row of shields from large and heavy tower shields to smaller and lighter round shields, bought a pile of holy water, and even prepared a silver dagger just in case. Although holy water or silver weapons are not more effective against monsters, they are very lethal to monsters.
Also, it is common for monsters to attack from all sides, so we practiced by changing the column formation to a circular formation. Still, having used circular formations and irregularities in the Siren’s Song Avalanche before, the crew quickly got used to it.
… The next thing Allen Danzoo did was negotiate the remaining details.
For Charlotte, a southerner who thought it would be a simple verbal conversation, Allen’s attitude of suddenly setting up a negotiating table with each other is just puzzling.
Of course, Allen was never one to take it easy just because her partner was her brother-in-law or ‘could’ be her fiancée. As a single owner leading a mercenary group, he should know how to distinguish construction work.
“… Yes?! That, you’re going to add two hundred more gold coins?!”
Unlike Charlotte, who was frightened, Allen was calm.
“The Witchbeast is a guy named Vendradan. He is a particularly tricky person to deal with, especially since he is a human brain addict. … To be honest, I think it’s too little to bet your life on a thousand gold coins.”
“But 1,200 gold coins is, frankly, too many… !”
Considering that Charlotte-Mercenary Company’s monthly employment cost is just over 100 gold coins, Allen-Mercenary Company’s short-term employment cost is more than ten times that. Furthermore, the Pharos-Mercenary Corps that had followed them would have to match roughly the same amount, so the consumption of gold coins alone was a whopping 2,000 pieces.
“It’s just two hundred more to consume anyway. There’s no way His Excellency couldn’t handle that much, right? The profits from copper mines must be enormous….”
“But that doesn’t justify the waste.”
“It’s not a waste, it’s a legitimate request. Anyway, wasn’t the detailed negotiations proceeded after coming here and confirming the situation further? I certainly knew that.”
“…… That’s it.”
She honestly had nothing to refute. … This is the first time I learned that the name of the monster was Vendradan.
After driving the opponent into the corner as much as possible, Allen opened her breath slightly.
“Do not worry. I’ll make sure it’s worth the money. Let’s not say it was never wasted. … No matter what we do now, shouldn’t we resolve this situation first?”
After thinking about it for a long time, Charlotte eventually agreed.
“…… Like. I see.”
From her point of view, there was nothing more embarrassing than coming this far and having the negotiations go wrong with only two hundred gold coins. Allen, of course, was aiming for that.
“It is a wise choice. As expected, Charlotte Danju has an excellent eye.”
Despite her flattering remarks, she didn’t hate them.
Anyway, as Allen wished, they agreed to add two hundred more gold coins. Thus, the hiring cost was 1,200 gold coins. … To be honest, it was a huge amount that she couldn’t even dare to imagine in the South, but Charlotte, who had already experienced the price of Vermandois once, didn’t think it was an outrageous expense anymore. Of course, convincing her father, Earl Abrehim, is another matter.
Fortunately, the generous and benevolent Count easily accepted his daughter’s request and gave the final permission order. Even if it’s a bit overpriced, he seems to think it’s the price of his daughter’s experience.
So, Allen-Mercenary Corps, Pharos-Mercenary Corps, Charlotte-Mercenary Corps, and Jobseon’s two Southern Mercenary Corps, a total of five mercenary groups, decided to head to the Devil’s Edge three days later.
And, the last three days of maintenance period.
In the meantime, the crew prepared for the finish in their own way. Allen Danju also checked the condition of the crew by checking the status window every day.
Even after her first friendship sex, Natasha, the gum tester, was still visiting Allen every evening as usual, craving her friendship kiss. However, if there is one thing that has changed in her, the caress that comforted her clothes now went into her clothes.
However, as an unwritten rule with her sucker, Allen avoided sex as much as possible during her mission. The incident on the first day was so sudden that it was passed as an exception…. Permission for anything but sex instead.
Strangely enough, such sexual cravings were unexpectedly much more intense in the gum milk test than in the suckling wizard.
Once Elena had completed her mission, she preferred to avoid contact with Allen Danju. Sometimes she comes and goes, on days when it’s hard to bear, she secretly visits and sucks the Lord’s delicious cock with excitement.
But Natasha was literally the embodiment of sexual desire. Allen said that every time she checked her status window, she saw a message saying she was desperate for sex. As if she had it as a default from the start. Besides, she visits me every evening before going to bed and gives me a sticky and obscene kiss…… , To be honest, Allen, who puts up with that every time, is also suffering.
After all, just as the breast sizes of the two women are very different, so are their sexual styles. He said he didn’t know until he saw it, and he was right.
… And, the preparation period of three days passed in the blink of an eye.
After all preparations, the Allen-Mercenary Corps went out to the Count’s outer yard before dawn. Soon all the other four mercenaries gathered and prepared for departure.
Just before departure, the five sophomores gathered together. The four sweethearts gave a brief report to the representative, Charlotte, and got on the carriage.
“Depart!”
The wagon with the Charlotte-Mercenary team at the front started, followed by the other four mercenaries.
A total of seven wagons, including five wagons carrying the mercenaries and two wagons loaded with luggage, quickly left the middle city of Berher and ran over the dry dirt road. Occasionally, when stepping on the sand, long tails of dust fluttered in the wind.
A group of mercenaries camped overnight in the middle and arrived at the fortress at the entrance to the Devil’s Palace early the next morning. Because the mines have already stopped for several months, there are only a few guards guarding the fortress.
Guard Captain Malcolm warmly welcomed the mercenaries. They stopped the wagon at the fortress, took a short break, packed up their belongings, and finally entered the Devil’s Landing.
Regardless of whether it was the central devil’s realm or the southern devil’s realm, the devil’s realm was the same, and the terrifying aura was the same. However, compared to other southern mercenaries, there was definitely room for the seasoned members who had already gone through all the battles.
In particular, Allen instructed the blind saintess to look for the evil energy of the Witchbeast. Unlike other monsters, the demon possessing black mana must exude an evil and dark aura different from ordinary mana….
In addition, he also put a spell on the sucker. If possible, save mana until he meets the Witchbeast. Like an elemental mage, Elena’s one-hit damage is very strong, so it would be most effective to pour all the mana when the monster appears. Frankly, mana was too precious to use such powerful magic on other monsters in the Devil’s Landing. But that doesn’t mean that her magic isn’t very effective.
…… And always be prepared for emergencies…….
Allen said that she didn’t believe what she saw on the outside, because she had a crush on the game [Guild Master]. She must have been there once or twice where she simply went on a monster slaying mission, where she was suddenly mauled by a demon bastard who suddenly showed up at her.
Still, the power of Allen-Mercenary Corps is considerable, so even if the demons appear, they should be able to deal with them unless they are of a higher rank. Of course, no matter how lucky you were, there was no such thing as a high-ranking demon popping up out of nowhere in a fucking place like this. Enough to say absolutely.
Moreover, it’s only Chapter 2 now. To be honest, it was almost unreasonable that the lower demons appeared. … However, this fucking game is sometimes pampered by such nonsense, so you have to be prepared.
Allen laughed self-deprecatingly at himself, who had been clinging to this irrational fucking game for over ten years.
…… Maybe the real [Masochism] Is in himself, he thought.
