Episode 171:
The winners of the competition take action.
He majestically approached the female, paying no attention to the wounds on his body.
Kuwoong Kuwoong!
The male’s head stretched out its front paws towards the female, making a crying noise as if to say ‘I won!’
Kwazijic –
It was separated from the neck as if torn by the teeth of an animal.
Puhwaaaaak –
The steel bear’s blood was a light silver color like its body.
Wow?
The female, whose head was covered in the male’s blood, momentarily couldn’t understand the situation and tilted her head.
He had a face like he didn’t understand what he was looking at or what the liquid that had been poured on his head was.
The female, who had belatedly recognized the male’s death for a moment, tried to roar in anger and sadness.
Kuwa... Quad Deuk –
The head of the female with her head raised high was cut off and rolled around on the ground.
“This feels quite... bad.”
After cutting off the female’s head, I frowned at the jingling sound of my hand.
The feeling of cutting through a piece of iron was worse than I expected.
Goosebumps appear from my hands to my entire body, and my grip feels numb.
Even though I was wearing an aura, that feeling still did not go away.
Wow!
The steel bears were angry at the appearance of the enemy.
Their own people died.
In addition, the population was so small that one of the beloved females even died.
Angry males come running.
Lanos runs towards the males and shouts at me.
“Don’t touch the female! “If he dies too, we’ll be in trouble!”
“All right.”
I nodded when he said that we shouldn’t hunt everyone.
If we kill everything here, it could cause chaos in the ecosystem.
So we only need to take what we need.
Crack.
The steel bear’s body is literally like a piece of iron, so it would have been a bit difficult to deal with if I hadn’t lost my strength in advance.
“I think this should be enough.”
After catching three males, Lanos lowered his great sword and said to stop hunting any more.
Crrrrr-
We followed him down and the steel bear growled at us.
Perhaps because he had been attacked, he did not try to attack me even though he showed his teeth.
Rather, they are afraid and trembling.
I was overwhelmed by what Lanos and I had seen before.
“Aren’t you going? “You’d better run now.”
Lanos swings his greatsword menacingly and chases away the steel bear.
The steel bear bared its teeth and swung its front paw at Lanos.
Soon he lowers his head and runs away to avoid Lanos.
This is because they knew that no matter how much they rushed and attacked, they could not win, so they felt that it was better to retreat like this than to attack and die.
“Hmm, I can eat this much for a week.”
We caught as many as five steel bears.
Even if you are a big eater, it seems impossible to be able to eat an amount that weighs over 1 ton in just a week.
“Then let’s go back.”
“Is this the end?”
“Hmm... Normally it would have ended when the sun sets, but I’m lucky today. “I didn’t expect to meet a group of steel bears so quickly.”
He kept saying that he was very lucky, and began to untie the rope from his shoulders and tie it to the steel bear’s legs.
“Where...”
I quietly watched him take care of the steel bear.
Molars, ears, heart, etc... Unlike the center, which only took care of important parts, the south did not.
He said that even a single piece of leather was a precious resource, so he took it without missing a single piece.
I also laugh at the sight of him smiling brightly, saying that he will have a good meal tonight while carrying two heads on his shoulders.
Normally, Lanos would have rushed at him without hesitation.
But not now.
I knew full well that running towards those guys now that I was so low on stamina while carrying the steel bear would be suicidal.
‘Let’s wait for now and move later.’
‘All right.’
I exchanged glances with him and held my breath.
The Kairos tribesmen were busy moving about wherever they were going.
The number was not small, but there were more than twenty people in front of me.
They were all holding deadly-looking weapons, and the atmosphere was tense, as if they were about to attack somewhere.
‘Isn’t that a castle over there?’
The direction they were heading was not Easton. In fact, it was the opposite direction from Easton.
No matter how you look at it, the sight of such a large number of people heading into an atmosphere of battle was extremely suspicious.
“Go quickly!”
Among them, there was a warrior commander who was not seen easily.
When a warrior leader appears, it is when he is clearly trying to conquer.
Since we failed to attack Easton this time, I thought we would take care of ourselves for a while, but I forgot that they are battle fanatics.
These guys are fighting for the sake of fighting, so in a way, it was strange that they didn’t move even after losing one of their commanders.
It was only when they all left and we couldn’t even see their backs that we let out the breath we had been holding.
“What are they planning to do again this time?”
Lanos frowned as he looked at the spot they had passed.
Since their atrocities have been more than once, I am concerned that they are doing something.
It was no wonder that his nerves were on edge, especially since he had swallowed one tribe this time.
“What do you find when you go over there?”
“Hmm...”
He thought about my words for a moment.
I look in the direction the Kairos tribesmen are heading to see if anything comes to mind right away.
“What was there?”
Even though I’ve lived in the South for a long time, I wonder why I don’t know where everything is.
Seeing as how he went out hunting, I guess he’s not so stupid that he can’t memorize geography.
“Oh right! Over there... huh?”
His bright face suddenly darkened as he remembered what would come out if he went that way.
He suddenly got up from hiding in the bushes, as if something that shouldn’t have happened had happened.
“crazy! “We have to go back right away!”
That’s natural, but his complexion is too pale.
“What’s wrong with you? “There’s something over there.”
“Run now! “I’ll tell you as I go!”
He gritted his teeth and started running at full speed.
Although he said he would tell me while running, he kept his mouth shut so that he could return to the castle as quickly as possible.
“beast of prey! “Open the door right now!”
As soon as he arrived at the castle, he entered the door opened by the guard, spitting out a password.
And without even thinking about untangling the rope, he ran straight to the command barracks.
“The Kairos are attacking the elves!”
I followed him in and frowned at his words.
What he said was the same as saying that these Kairos guys are causing accidents and we need to stop them.
“Ah... I saw a sign, but I didn’t know it would actually happen.”
At his words, the Marquis of Easton, who was talking to Count Warrug, raised his hand and touched his forehead.
He presses his temples with his fingers as if he has a headache and asks him to tell me in detail.
Lanos described what he saw on his way back from hunting.
The Marquis of Easton’s expression gradually hardened as he listened to Lanos’ words.
“Lord Bane. “You probably guess that this is a problem that cannot be taken lightly, right?”
“yes.”
“If they take over the elves, the situation will completely turn around. “It must never be left like that.”
“It’s going to be really busy as soon as we get here.”
“I’m sorry.”
“it’s okay. “Because the well-being of the country is at stake.”
“okay. “Thank you.”
The Marquis of Easton, who was smiling faintly at Count Warrug, summoned the executives with fierce eyes.
