Chapter 249: Monsters
(This chapter isn\'t edited yet)
"Guys, change of plans." The captain shouted to the team preparing for the invasion.
This caused them to turn to him with a confused expression. Why would the plan suddenly change? They had discussed the plan literally a few minutes ago.
When he gathered everyone\'s attention, the captain spoke out loud as he approached Noah.
"Noah said he has a blessing able to see through the mist, and that apparently there is a castle in that direction. How about we go to that castle and take a look, after all, you know what can happen in hidden places in fortresses." The captain suggested and waited for the team to discuss what each wanted.
It was known to the blessed that there could be hidden places in fortresses. Even Noah found a variant stronghold the first time he received Lucifer\'s powers, so it wasn\'t something he wasn\'t familiar with.
But his doubt was if this castle could be like a variant of a fortress, or if it could be something like a mistake, like what happened with the dwarves in the train fortress, where after everyone left the fortress, no one remembered the dwarves or the things about the other worlds they\'ve discovered, just Noah because of the system.
Everyone knew there could be good things in hidden places in the forts. Like blessed weapons and blessed armor. This type of weaponry found in fortresses was already very difficult to get, even more weapons that could be used by humans, since many monsters were not humanoid, so finding a castle was very joyful news for those blessed, after all, each blessed weaponry it could be sold for very high prices, besides it could greatly increase the strength of a blessed.
If even blessed Rank D weaponry could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, Rank C weaponry ran into the millions. Rank B weaponry was so rare that it wasn\'t even sold directly, often only being sold through auctions between the most powerful people in each family.
As for Rank A weaponry, these could not even be seen in the lifetime of a blessed Rank C, only being known by blessed Rank B and used by blessed Rank A.
Of course, with such a high potential profit, many were excited to invade these castles. However, they knew that this path was like a rose, even though the flower is very beautiful, one would have to deal with the thorns.
These hidden places would normally have a lot of resources for people to get to, but they would also have unimaginable dangers. It would be up to the team to decide whether it was worth going or not.
Fortunately it wasn\'t necessary to wait a long time for them to decide, after all, who would become blessed if they were afraid of monsters? They were used to dealing with dangerous situations. If there was someone fearful in Rank C, that person would probably just go to a small town and become a local chief, just like in Eyrin town.
Those blessed ones who decided to come to the capital, were people who were not satisfied with their current strength and wanted to use monster essences to get stronger despite the dangers, so when faced with a situation with so much profit accompanied by danger it didn\'t affect so much they.
After the party actually decided to go to the castle, even the blessed Rank B got excited, it had been a few years since he last went to this place, so as much as he couldn\'t receive the Rank C items that this one. group met there, there would be no problem for him to just accompany and frequent new airs in a fortress.
Maybe he could even figure out the way and if they found a stronghold like this again, come here again with another team, getting great resources for the Khan family.
"As everyone has chosen to accept, I will ask you to guide us Noah, as no one knows the castle\'s location but you. Of course, I won\'t ask you to act as a scout, but use your vision to show us the general path, as well as warning us of monsters we might not be able to see." The captain said to Noah with a serious expression.
"No problem." Noah replied nonchalantly.
So the group started moving towards the castle. But strangely, even after a hundred meters, no one could see any monsters. Not even Noah.
The path was too quiet, and the blessed began to feel that there was something wrong with it.
Fortunately, after walking for 400 meters, they finally saw the first monster, or rather the first group of monsters, as they had met 5 monsters together.
Two Ghost Knights, Two Banshees and a Spirit Wolf.
Ghost knights had metal armor, which were immune to magic. The banshees had ethereal bodies, which were immune to physical attacks, the spirit wolf was a strange mixture of the two, where when it would attack, it became solid to bite, but when running away it returned to being ethereal.
This wolf was definitely the terror of archers. And like an archer, the captain soon realized this and has already issued the first order to the group.
"Riders, catch the ghost knights\' attention and try to taunt the wolf, mages, kill the banshees as quickly as possible, and assassin, you\'re free across the field, but try to deal with the wolf first." The captain shouted to everyone what to do.
Unlike Noah\'s previous group, where each blessed ran like an idiot trying to get merit points, in this team each one acted in an organized way, following the captain\'s orders as if they were law, without interfering with the other\'s role, just doing exactly what was ordered.
This made life much easier for the captain, who, knowing what each one would be doing, could also transfer people to other tasks more easily during the battle.
Noah wouldn\'t be doing nothing, knowing he had a job to do too, he soon left.
