Chapter 2: New Century (Epilogue)
Chapter 135: Beast Siege
Yan, the most handsome, immediately put on a smiling face upon seeing Gudbad’s aggressive stance and quickly explained:
“Brother Gu, don’t be impulsive, we have something to tell you!”
“Something to tell me?”
Gudbad looked at the fierce-looking, tall demi-human in front of him with suspicion. He felt that this demi-human wasn’t here to discuss something, but rather to cause trouble.
“Yes!”
Yan, the most handsome, performed a less-than-standard knight’s salute and explained:
“We previously discovered rioting jungle wolf spiders in the middle of the Twilight Forest. There were hundreds of them, and they are heading this way now!”
“What?!”
Gudbad’s eyes sharpened. Jungle wolf spiders weren’t terrifying individually, with the highest level being only fifteen. However, hundreds of them were quite frightening.
More importantly, there was the matter of a beast riot.
“Are you absolutely sure about the jungle wolf spider riot? This is extremely important and cannot be taken lightly!” Gudbad’s expression turned serious as he spoke.
Yan, the most handsome, and the other players looked at each other. Seeing Gudbad’s serious demeanor, they felt a pang of apprehension but gritted their teeth and confirmed in a forced manner:
“We are sure. They have truly rioted, and they will be here soon.”
“Alright, since that’s the case,”
Gudbad nodded, then turned around and amplified his voice with Qi, shouting loudly:
“Everyone stop killing magical beasts, leave immediately! There’s a magical beast riot in the Twilight Forest. We’ll return and make plans after I report to the Lord!”
The Sword Shield Soldiers obediently followed Gudbad and formed a line to leave.
Most of the players did the same. However, there were always a few stubborn ones who scoffed at the so-called beast riot, believing that nothing was more important than leveling up, even if the world was ending.
They then witnessed a scene they could hardly imagine.
Countless magical beasts from the Solendo Mountain Range surged out. They were diverse, with flying creatures from the sky, running creatures on the ground, and even aquatic creatures leaping onto land.
They blotted out the sky, like dark clouds.
They roared, destroying all obstacles in their path, including the dumbfounded players who were too slow to escape. Their target was Winter City.
These players did not get to see.
At the very rear of the beast horde was a dragon-like magical beast as tall as a small hill. Its eyes were blood-red, and it drove the horde forward. Its raised head gazed towards Winter City, filled with greed and impatience.
It seemed something there was attracting it, making it attack Winter City despite the enormous risk.
…
Half an hour later…
Gudbad stood at the stairwell entrance of the fourth floor of Winter Fort, his face filled with anxiety. He asked a group of demi-human lolis guarding the stairs:
“Has the Lord woken up yet?”
“No~”
A demi-human loli replied in a sweet and naive voice.
They were all wearing cute, miniature maid dresses and stood from shortest to tallest at the entrance of the spiral staircase, completely blocking the path.
“Lord, Lord Gu said~”
Another loli raised her hand and chirped happily. She had lost a front tooth, and her speech was a little slurred.
“Before seven o’clock~” said the third loli.
“No matter who comes!” said the fourth.
“Cannot!” said the fifth.
“Cannot go up~” said the sixth.
“Especially Uncle Gudbad!” said the seventh.
The eighth loli looked around. Seeing that there was no part for her, she lowered her head and thought for a moment. Her cute big eyes blinked, and she pleaded with Gudbad:
“Uncle Gudbad, could you… could you ask again? This time, can we start with Nana?
Gudbad: “…”
He asked with some exhaustion:
“Then, ladies, can you please go and report to the Lord? Tell him Gudbad has an urgent matter to report.”
“Wow? What is ‘reporting’?”
“What cookie? Shaved ice! Nana wants shaved ice!”
The lolis in front of Gudbad cheered.
“I want some too!”
“Me too!”
“That’s not shaved ice! It’s a cookie sandwich, cookies and bread! Oh oh! Uncle Gudbad, Lily wants bread and cookies!”
Amidst the soft, sweet cheers of the group of lolis, the pitiful Gudbad was surrounded by these Little Radishes.
“Stop fooling around! What is this shaved ice and cookie sandwich, always eating. Uncle Gudbad has important business, don’t crowd him.”
Nina, who arrived upon hearing the noise, quickly separated them and rescued Gudbad. She apologized:
“Sorry, Uncle Gudbad, they are still young and don’t understand.”
“The Lord has already woken up. Please follow me.”
…
“You’re saying there’s a magical beast riot in the Twilight Forest?”
Xi Wei’s tone was somewhat bewildered.
A magical beast riot, how novel!
Magical beasts on the Cain Continent have always been sources of equipment materials and ingredients. It was like suddenly hearing that your pet pig had gone mad.
Humans even feared depleting the magical beast population, so they had established protective regulations, such as not killing female or young beasts.
Under similar circumstances, although magical beasts were more powerful, their intelligence was limited. They were just beasts driven by instinct, possessing Magic Elements.
However, not all magical beasts were devoid of intelligence. These intelligent magical beasts generally possessed the bloodline of Giant Dragons or Titans.
Giant Dragons had eyes that were good at appreciating beauty. They could find shining points in any female creature and engage in primitive activities for it.
As for Titans, it was probably because, over a long period, one or two eccentric individuals appeared.
“Indeed. Although it’s surprising, those demi-humans confirmed they discovered a magical beast riot.”
“Moreover, the direction of these beast hordes is heading out of the Twilight Forest, and they might collide with our Winter City.”
Gudbad knelt on one knee, not daring to lift his head, feeling extremely uneasy.
Not far away, the Lord was sitting on a large goose-down bed. A beautiful white-haired, fox-eared girl was gently washing his face with a towel, while another smaller girl held his foot to put on his shoe.
Was this something Gudbad should be looking at?
Was he preparing to wash socks and underpants his whole life?
“It is indeed unbelievable, but there’s no need for ‘might’ because they are already here.”
Xi Wei looked out the window towards the city gate of Winter City. The Sky Knight’s acute senses had already detected the faint tremors on the ground.
In the distant, hazy sky, bathed in the first rays of the morning sun, the sky-obscuring flying magical beasts resembled a moving dark cloud.
Instantly:
“Roar—”
An explosive roar shook the entire Winter City. The city wall guards also sounded the alarm.
“Beast siege! Beast siege!”
The magical beasts from the Twilight Forest arrived without warning, charging fiercely, already attacking the walls of Winter City.
—————————————————-
I originally said I would create a large group on the 9th. Just this afternoon, the small 500-person group I had before also disappeared.
On June 4th at 7:24 AM, my account also disappeared… Henceforth, extra chapters will be directly posted within the book. They will all be normal extra chapters. That’s all… Sorry.
