I Just want a Peaceful life
"Five to six thousand monsters?!!" exclaimed Angus.
Although most of the monsters in the outer area consist of low-grade monsters, with only a few reach fourth grade. Five and six thousand monsters are enough force to overthrow the entire Black Fortress.
Furthermore, with the lead of a fourth-grade monster, the other lower-grade monster will not blindly charge at the Black Fortress and fall into the trap. There are also chances of a fifth-grade monster among these monster waves.
If it is only a fourth-grade monster, Angus may be able to handle it using all kinds of his power. But, if it is a fifth-grade monster, he is not sure he could kill it even with the help of everyone. Therefore, their current situation is quite severe.
"Did you already tell my father about this?" asked Angus.
As the one responsible for the Black Fortress, Duke Jacob needs to know about this serious matter. If the monster waves only hundreds of monsters, Borkins and Fosa could handle them on their own. But, if it reaches thousands, it will become a serious matter.
It is not common to find a fifth-grade monster among thousands of monster waves. To kill a fifth-grade monster, at least a sixth-grade combatant needs to be present. Otherwise, they could only rely on the combined forces of fifth-grade combatants.
"Yes, I already informed your father. He will be here by tomorrow." said Borkins.
"I see. That's good. How long will they arrive here?" asked Angus.
"According to our scout and their advancement speed, they will likely arrive around a week. But, they could be faster." said Fosa.
"Hmm… I see." said Angus before looking at the map on the table.
After thinking for a while, "How about deploying some traps to reduce and hinder them along the way?" said Angus.
"That's what we are planning to do. However, our traps will only reduce a small number of them. Still, it is better than nothing." said Borkins.
"I see. I guess it seems to try the new bomb that I get from the Explosion Squad." said Angus.
"Bomb?!" said Borkins and Fosa.
"Yeah, I got some 'souvenirs' during my stay in the explosion squad. However, they are too destructive to be used in combat. They could only be used as something like a trap."
"I decide to plan these bombs on the three hunting areas. Before I leave today, I find a lot of first and second-grade monsters attracted to these hunting grounds.
"Although I only managed to set up two of them, the incoming monster wave will surely occupy and try to stay at this hunting area."
"At that time, all I need is to detonate these bombs to eliminate them. This bomb is more destructive when used against many targets at once." explained Angus.
"Excellent. If your trap is working, we may reduce their number to a quarter or at least half of them. Still, after the bomb explodes, they will indeed charge through here.
"Although the monster is not as smart as people, they are also not an idiot and will know we are the preparator for these bombs." said Borkins.
"In other words, we need to be ready to fight when we detonated the bomb." added Fosa.
Then, they begin to discuss and plan to maximize the trap to reduce the incoming monster wave. Since there is an incoming monster wave, they also need to stop their previous plan to reduce the Ogre number and withdraw the previous monster bounty.
Instead, they need to hire adventurers to help them defend the Black Fortress. This is a common occurrence whenever there is a monster wave coming. Of course, the current monster wave is not normal and bigger than usual.
Still, to not cause people to panic and run away, they decide not to divulge any important information about the monster wave. The next day, Borkins and Fosa immediately spread the news about the incoming monster wave and withdrew the previous monster bounty.
On the other hand, most adventurers decide to stay and help Black Fortress. The main reason is that they get enormous amounts of money to help defend the Black Fortress.
The first-grade combatant will get paid twenty gold coins. Second-grade combatants will earn around two times of first grade, which is fifty gold coins. The third-grade combatant will get 100 gold coins.
The fourth-grade combatant will get 500 gold coins, as for the fifth-grade combatant will get around 5000 gold coins. Still, the adventurers that reach the fifth-grade level are very rare and only exist at the big guilds.
Most of these adventurers are also usually busy doing other jobs. This kind of pay is very enticing for all the nearby adventurers.
With this kind of payment, it is already equivalent to hunting monsters for months with their respective grade. Moreover, they also get some basic supplies from the Black Fortress, such as mana potions and small wound healing potions.
Just by joining to defend against monster waves, they already get a lot of profits. The lowest grade mana potion costs around ten to twenty gold coins, while small wound healing potions could sell around thirty gold coins.
Although the current Black Fortress didn't have a lot of money at this moment, they still could provide this supply to everyone. This is because the Heart Kingdom has been making many fortunes in the past few years.
The overall wealth and resources inside the Heart Kingdom increased many times compared to a few years ago. Even if some of the nobles and influential people corrupt the money, the defensive facility like Black Fortress still gets a lot of supply.
Moreover, under the strict watch of King Leon, most of the nobles and influential people didn't dare to embezzle too much money unless they wanted their entire family and themself killed on the spot.
With this kind of payment, most adventurers decide to join the Black Fortress to fight against the monster wave. Some shrewd merchants also choose to stay and supply the money-filled adventurer.
While the big merchant guild is waiting in line to buy the monster corpse after the monster wave ends. No one thought the monster wave could destroy the Black Fortress since the Monster Overlord incident already happened a few years ago.
It is common knowledge that Monster Overlord will only occur at least every decade or more years. Sometimes it is needed around a hundred years before a new monster overlord is born.
As a result, most of the adventurers and the residents didn't think much about the current monster wave. All of them only thought it was an ordinary monster wave and could be easily handled.
As the news about the monster wave spread around, Angus and his team began to clear and set up the third hunting ground. He also didn't forget to plant the bomb he got from Valter as a souvenir.
The bombs he gets are Valter and his team's newest invention that Angus saw before. It is the Chain Bomb. The bomb is too destructive to be used in ordinary combat. Therefore, Angus gets many of them as they will only be rusted in the Explosion Squad warehouse.
At first, Angus planned to study and tinkered them to be usable at ordinary combat. However, he didn't expect to use them so soon as a trap bomb against the monster. This is also a test of the Chain Bomb's effectiveness against the monster.
With the help of Jayna and Anna, along with the other team, Angus managed to clear and set up the third hunting area before midday. After planting the bombs and a few traps on various locations, they move to the other two hunting areas to set up traps.
To maximize their traps, they will need to eliminate the nearby attracted monster in the hunting area until the monster wave comes. Using Angus's large-scale spells, they could easily eliminate the monster inside the hunting area.
By the time they finish planting all the bombs and traps in all three hunting areas, the sun is already setting, and they need to go back to the Fortress, leaving only the scout team.
Unlike ordinary human combatants, most monsters could move during the day and night without any obstruction. With the low visibility, it will be the worst situation if Angus and the others meet with the monster wave.
Therefore, it is safer to stay at the Black Fortress during the night and leave only a small scout team to monitor the hunting area. The scout team is also a specialized team trained in stealth and gathering information.
They are already used to investigate and monitor the monster's territory without getting caught. Therefore it is acceptable to leave them monitoring the hunting area until the monster waves come.
After resting a whole night, the next day, Angus and the others plan to clear the hunting area again. Just as they wanted to depart from the Black Fortress, they heard a loud beastly roar from the sky. *ROOARR*
The beastly roar attracted all the residents of the Black Fortress.. Along with the roar, Angus also detected a familiar presence approaching the Fortress.
