Even one Cyclops would be too hard to kill... but they still attack in packs!
But the Cyclops are mainly found in the outlying regions. Individuals. I've never heard of a swarm.
They seem to have just appeared out of nowhere. It's just an undeniable fact that they're marching towards King's Landing.
Anna had a serious look on her face .
it's normally the knightly order that intercepts the demons attacking the capital. But since we're up against them, the Adventurer's Guild has been called in. As an urgent A-ranked mission, we have to quickly gather the number of adventurers who are eligible for the order.
Oh, I see. So that's why you wanted me to come work for you, huh?
I understand.
I'm a qualified A-ranked adventurer.
I think the truth is that I need an extra man now.
But with A-ranked adventurers, the number of A-ranked ones will be limited. And if they're up and running right now, how hard can it be to get them?
"Yes. That's right. There's a party of A-ranked adventurers on an expedition. I'm gathering up some B adventurers at the moment.
Anna said.
'After all, my dad and one other person were the only ones who could be called up with an A rating.
'Another one? That guy might be--
It's me.
As if in response to my question, a voice rang out from behind me.
Or should I say, as I expected.
I turn around to find Regina with a pouting face.
I knew it. But I didn't expect you to just accept the call. If the city was in danger, you wouldn't have wanted to fight if you weren't interested.
Many adventurers are like that.
That's why the Guild of Adventurers struggles to recruit them.
Have you grown up over the years?
"Nonsense. I will not fight against my will, even now. It was only because of you that I agreed to fight this call.
Me?
'I knew that if my daughter, the Guildmaster, called the meeting, you would respond. Not bad considering it's been a while since we've fought together.
I see. Okay.
But that's okay? You don't think I'm going to fight well enough to have your back, do you?
He confirmed it with a smile.
'Hmm . I made sure my sword wasn't dulled when I clashed with you before.
Ha, ha. I'll do my best not to disappoint you.
"I don't like that wry smile," said Regina, clicking her tongue. 'You never used to have that look on your face.
It's been 18 years. People change.
I let Regina's words sink in and turned to Anna.
"Anna. What direction are they coming from?
The guild scouts report that they are heading for the main gate from the southern plains. They'll be attacking us in a couple of hours.
Okay. Okay.
I nodded and strained my voice to keep the momentum going.
"Well. Let's go. We can't let those demons inside King's Landing. We've got to intercept them first.
