Chapter 921: We Want to Fight the Monster
The two young girls had Robb behind them for support, and they were truly fearless. Although the kindly sentinel advised against it, the two girls smiled and said, Anyway, were going to deal with the big monster! They turned around and called out to their father, Dad, lets sail the ship out again, lure that big monster out, and kill it. Lets see just how formidable it really is.
The two ship captains secretly glanced at Robb. Seeing him nod in agreement, they had no objections and said, Alright, lets set sail then. Its just a monster after all.
Hey! The sentinel was sweating. Dont do this, young ladies! Why court danger?
Just then, a group of people suddenly appeared by the side of the dock, not far from Robb and the others ship.
Robb turned his head and saw that they were soldiers from the the Kingdom of Grans military!
Back then, Robb hardly recognized any family crests or emblems, but after so many years of wandering around and participating in several major battles, he had come to recognize the emblems of the seven major armies of the Kingdom of Gran. All he needed to see was the wave crest on their shoulder armor to know they belonged to the Trembling Ice Knights. Of course, the elite soldiers who knew or knew of Robb were still in the Jinghong Mountains; these were just the garrison leftovers.
After the knights assembled on the dock, a group of ship captains and crew who had been idly milling about also gathered around. These captains and crew members had clearly been stuck in this harbor for quite some time. Some were sea traders, some were fishermen, all relying on going out to sea to make a living. The presence of the monster had evidently brought them considerable difficulties.
Seeing the arrival of the Trembling Ice Knights, they immediately gathered around with hopeful expressions on their faces.
A middle-aged man in magician robes, who looked poised and composed, stepped forward from the knight group and addressed the onlookers, Everyone, dont worry. After careful study, our Trembling Ice Knights has come up with a plan to deal with the monster.
The onlookers immediately became overjoyed, and many of them clapped enthusiastically.
When the applause died down, the middle-aged man continued, If you look behind me, youll see three hundred of our finest warriors. Were about to board a specially modified warship. All of the warriors will stay hidden in the cabins, not showing themselves. Only a few sailors dressed in ordinary clothes will be on the deck, pretending to be regular sailors. This way, the monster will definitely attack us with more confidence. When the hidden warriors spring into action, theyll kill the monster.
The applause grew even more fervent at this announcement.
Robb, however, was a bit curious and couldnt help whispering, Wasnt the Trembling Ice Knights main force supposed to be headed to the Jinghong Mountains? How are they able to summon three hundred elite warriors here?
The two young girls whispered to each other, Im afraid they just hired three hundred mercenaries from anywhere and forcibly claimed theyre the elite of the Trembling Ice Knights. for new novels
Seeing the pitiful look on the young girls faces, Robb smiled, Alright, heres the deal. Lets follow along and watch the spectacle. If they can defeat the monster, well be the audience, giving them a round of applause. If they fail, then you two can take action, alright?
Okay, okay! The two young girls vigorously nodded.
Robb chuckled, Alright, thats settled then. On another note, even if I give you the blessing of the king, you still need some skills of your own to deal with the monster. What exactly do you know?
The two young girls raised their hands, Basic Dark Magic!
What else?
Thats it!
Robb:
Basic Dark Magic, similar to Basic Holy Magic, focuses on healing, support, and the dirty aspects. Theres basically no direct attack magic, only a spell called Shadow WordPain, which isnt a direct damage spell but more of a continuous damage-over-time (Dot) spell. (Dot spells are like poison they hang over the enemys head and continuously drain their health.)
Robb was speechless for a moment, Hey! Even if I give you the blessing of the king, are you planning to deal with the big monster by just casting Shadow WordPain on it?
The two young girls: Yeah, yeah!
Come on, be serious! Give me a break.
The two young girls started to act coquettishly, Then, can you give us some other means of attack?
Robb sighed, Forget it, let me take a look!
He rummaged through the pile of miscellaneous items he had caught while fishing over the past few days, Oh, here it is Intermediate Firearms Training Manual.
