Chapter 137 - 136 – Attack.

In the city of Tineever 2 days from the capital.

"What is happening?" Royma, the guild master of Tineever had started to hear screams outside the guild, so she ran out of her room to find out what was going on.

"Guild master, it's terrible." When she got to the first floor of the guild, she found one of their receptionists.

The receptionist was standing in front of the guild door trying to hold the door with just a little force. Her hands and belly were full of blood and her face was covered with tears as she cried desperately.

"Tell me, what's going on?" The guild master ran to the receptionist's side, horrified by the situation. Using magic, she placed a large shield in front of the guild door.

The noise outside was eerie. Children's cries, women's and men's cries, it was as if she were on a battlefield.

"Master, the city has been attacked. Nobody has any idea how this happened, suddenly a lot of monsters started to enter the city... Cof... Cof" When the girl coughed, a large amount of blood flew from her mouth and soiled Royma's clothes.

"Hey, hang on." Royma's hands were shaking as she gritted her teeth: "What the fuck happened?" She didn't know the reason for this attack, and why no one warned her once the monsters had arrived?

"..." Royma looked at the beautiful girl in her arms again. In the girl's belly was a huge hole that looked like it had been made by a sword.

Royma smiled at the girl and then closed the girl's eyes as she thanked her. She sacrificed herself not to let the guild be invaded.

She took the girl in her lap and then took her into the guild staff room and laid her there, Royma couldn't leave the girl's body lying in the middle of the guild like that.

"Monster?"

"I do not want to die."

The instant she entered the guild staff room, she found a few other receptionists crying and shivering as they covered her ears so as not to hear the screams outside the guild.

Not just the screams of people, but the roars of monsters from everywhere.

"Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt, okay?" Royma placed the receptionist's body on the floor.

When she did this, the other receptionists approached the girl's body and began to cry. It was a painful scene to see.

Royma felt her heart boil at that moment. She was so angry that she could go crazy in this situation.

"Please wake up... Please, Ketine." One of the receptionists put her face close to that of the dead receptionist and wept.

Ketine's face, which was still wearing an expression of suffering, began to be covered with tears from her friend who lifted her and hugged her with all her strength: "This can't be happening...Uwaaaa"

With a cry that was like despair, the girl held Ketine in her arms as she stroked Ketine's head.

Seeing this scene, Royma can't help but bite her lip and run out of the room. She locked the door to the guild staff room and then used magic to further protect the people inside.

She was willing not to let anyone else here die, but she couldn't do it alone.

The guild had been closed because of the war that had been started, so there were no adventurers here to help it at the moment. The receptionists had no fighting power, only she could do something.

"I think I need to do this, don't I?" Royma approached the guild window and looked outside.

There, she saw an army of monsters walking.

In front of her eyes, one of the shops in front of the guild was invaded by a large number of goblins. After that, she could only hear a woman's cries of despair.

That was the trigger that made her undo the shield on the guild's front door and stepped outside holding her sword.

After leaving, she soon caught the attention of all those monsters. Wherever she looked, she could only see Orcs, Ogres, Goblins, Kobolds. They all looked at her like she was prey.

But not just monsters, she could see torn bodies everywhere. The streets of her precious city had been stained with the blood of its residents, and that could not be forgiven.

Children who just liked to have fun and had a whole life ahead of them were killed as if they were just goblins.

Women who just wanted to protect their children were treated as an object and then torn apart by monsters' claws as if they were just any piece of meat.

The men who were fighting bravely to save their families were being killed as if they weren't even human. Their bodies were completely unrecognizable.

Everywhere you looked, there were only bodies and monsters.

Monsters that also feasted on the flesh of Tineever's residents. This was an unforgivable scene for Royma.

That with a large amount of mana that started to leak out of her body, she attracted most of the monsters towards her.

She clenched the hilt of her sword as she widened her eyes and looked at all the monsters with a bloodlust. That made until the monsters backed away for a moment.

Royma's body was shaking. Her blood boiled like she'd been thrown into a pot of hot water, her body was hot, she'd never felt it like this before.

She has never felt her heartache as much as it does today. Her feelings were never as dark as they are today.

"I'M GOING TO KILL EVERY ONE OF YOU! YOU SHIT!" With a scream that could be heard by probably most of the people left in town, Royma emanated an unbelievable amount of mana.

She swung her pure steel sword horizontally and a large beam of light was created. The monsters surrounding her were hit by it and cut in half with just one move.

"You're nothing, I'm going to rip your head off." Even though the number of monsters was colossal, Royma didn't care.

####

In the royal capital of Southelin.

"I managed to get in touch with everyone, but why doesn't Royma respond?" The guild master was in his room.

He had promised to contact the guild master of the capital of Beastled, but he was completely ignored by him. Speaking of which, it was easy for him to contact any guild master.

Every guild had a communication device that was interconnected in every guild in the world, it was very convenient.

But in addition to being ignored by the guild master of the capital of Beastled, all the guild masters of the cities of Beastled also ignored him. They didn't even want to get in touch.

'Are they helping their country in the war?' That's what the guild master thought of this situation.

He couldn't do anything. The guild system doesn't exactly have a leader, so he couldn't contact a leader to try to resolve it.

If they chose to side with Beastled in the war, why can't we help our country? The guild master was thinking about this carefully as he still had doubts if he should do this.

But everything indicated that he would need to do this, for when he came into contact with the guilds of Southlein, the masters seemed willing to interfere at least to protect their cities.

It seems that most of their city guards went to war, so they wanted to use the guild's power to protect the city in case something happened.

The guild master can do nothing but agree. Even though the guild doesn't belong to the country, they still care about the population, so they would have to do anything to protect the city and its people.

If they didn't help, they would feel bad and the guild master can understand that.

Everyone said something like that, except Royma who was Tineever's guild master. I tried to get in touch several times, but I was being completely ignored.

Royma is a close friend so she would never ignore me like that, so something had happened to her or in her town. And when I thought about it, I soon remembered what Emma had talked about.

"An army of monsters is coming to the capital." So she was right. I kept Rieli, Dala, and Clachel going with her just to prevent it, but I didn't believe it 100%, but it looks like I was wrong.

'So you mean Tineever was attacked by the army? Damn it!' The guild master clenched his fists as he couldn't do anything now.

He was sure Royma was strong enough to survive, but what about the residents of Tineever? She couldn't protect everyone. Even if all the adventurers they had there helped to fight the monsters, would still have a lot of kills.

The guild master can only pray to the goddess and ask that nothing happen to Royma.

But he also cannot help thinking that that army is already close to the capital. Tineever is two days away, but the army would take longer than that as they're marching.

But even so, maybe they will get here in less than 5 days.

'Dude, what am I supposed to do?
