Chapter 42: Monsters Tidal Waves!

Lukeas could be seen standing in an open path land of land in the forest. With tall grass that reaches up his waist. And a thick rows of trees in both side of the path.. Creating a narrow straight path that most merchants use for traveling between the 6 kingdoms.

The sun was at its peak. With few clouds veiling the hot rays of sunshine making the the atmosphere a nice warm day.

Lukeas who was standing in the middle of the commercial path could be seen checking the contents of his quest.

====================

[Urgent quest

Kill every monster spotted in the sector 12 of the kingdoms map

Reward: 10 points per confirmed monster take down]

====================

".... Base on the kingdoms map this place should be the sector 12... And damn, this is the first I know about the entire northern kingdom... Its damm huge..." he muttered. Before squinting his eyes at the map

"Oh... So the Royal academy is actually named Northern Lights academy... Actually, Wait... I think I've seen this before.... Have i seen the academy's name before?" he look up the sky to ponder but then he saw a shadow from afar.

And it slowly get larger and larger....and with his superhuman eye he easily recognize it hundreds of miles away...

Wyverns, Rocs, Crowned Eagles, and many more winged monster..

His complexion paled at the sight.. ".. Fuck.. I think this is above my pay grade." he muttered.. But then he started feeling trembles coming from the ground.. And instantly he look down to the horizon and look far in the other end of the path and saw dust.. And shadows... Lots of shadows.. Some are even in the trees.. Knocking down anything in their path.. Making the wids commercial road even wider.

"Fuck.. Fuck fuck fuckfuckfuck!" after this he finally turned around and started running for his life..

But he could feel them slowly catching up to him.. And the vibration in the ground speaks for it self as it gets stronger as time passes by.

'Fight or run?'

At this moment his mind got unti fight or flight mode.. Contemplating if he should fight, get money and get stronger. Or run, get tired amd possibly fight in the end...

And while pondering of this.. The familiar voice appeared. Whispering madness in his mind. Speaking in an familiar yet unfamiliar tongue.. But he could feel what it meant, whispering in his ears and urging him to get stronger.

It was getting stronger too... To the point that out started hurting his brain. "ARRRGHH!! FINEEE! YOU FUCKER IF I DIE ITS ON YOU!" He groaned and curse loudly and abruptly turned around..

And the moment he does so. The ancient ethereal voice suddenly fades as quickly as it appears. Giving him the silence he wanted.. Leaving only the noise of the incoming stampede.

He glared at the incoming monster.. He could identify some Gohlbins, Goblins, and some Hobogoblins.. But he could also see some Ogre, trolls, Stone Drakes, chimera, and many more monsters that lives in the western [Weeping Forrest] one of the biggest and the most dangerous place in the continent.

"They're just monsters.. How hard can it be right?" he nervously chuckled alone and slowly prepared for the approaching fight

He slowly squats down and place his right fist in the ground while his left hand holds his staff while it rested in his shoulder.

Then he slowly muttered.

" [Gear Second]! "

" As you may know there is an incoming monster flood heading here.. Most of the monster came from the western Weeping Forrest.. And for those who are not aware the Weeping Forrest stretched up fro. Down south to north.. Thats why most of the monster heading this way are from the northern sector of the Forrest..

But that's not all.. Not all monster are from that place. As when those monster are matching their way here.. Monster who were in their path are also frightened by them.. Making them run in the same direction..

While other monster have a hording instinct making them instinctively join the stampede..

And we have already sent most of our manpower to depend the western part of the kingdom to at least deflect them or make them split in the middle so they could leave our place alone.. And if possible eradicate all of them.. "

The man explained.. He was standing tall almost 6'8 feet. He was wearing a regal silver domineering armor that have a fur of an unknown creature hangin on his shoulder. He have not worn his helmet exposing his aged face covered in scars.

He have a sharp crooked nose.. Perhaps after getting broken many time in battle. A blind left eye and a thick grey beard and hair.

He was General Galloway Phoebus Von Astrid the father of the twins back on the academy.. The head of military..

"Any update on the monster stampede?" he asked..

And one of the officer hesitantly raised his hands.

"Yes?" The general asked.

"Well.. Do you remember about that really important part of the operation? The one about the sector 12?" the man said.. Carefully choosing his words.

"yes.. What about it soldier? Get to the Point!" the general said.. Getting impatient.

"w-well.. Those who took the quest quickly canceled it after finding out that they'll be in the front line.. Although one person remain.."

"... This is problematic... But i suppose it's one of our most trusted soldiers and the most experience.. So it'll do just fine.. "

"Ge-general... You see... It's none of our soldier.." the man nervously scratch the back of his head.

"what do you mean?" the general ask.. His demeanor getting darker and more dangerous..

"Its a single rank B student in the academy haha" the man chuckled. "Aren't he brave... As expec-

" WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WAITING FOR??!! SEND A FUCKING BACKUP! " The general Abruptly stands up and yelled.

" If the stampede are not affected by the front line and arrive at the kingdoms border at full force our army will be greatly affected! Many of our soldier may fucking die!! "

" LEAVE AT ONCE GET ALL THE AVAILABLE SOLDIERS AND SEND THEM TO SECTOR 10! AND SEND A SCOUT TO SECTOR 12 AND CHECK THE SITUATIONS. " the general quickly started giving out commands.

'This incompetent fools! Because of them one of the students may fucking die! Hold out as long as you can soldier!..' he cursed in his mind as he puts on his helmet that have a shape of a dragons head and head toward sector 12 as the soldiers are moving way too slow to do anything..
