Celesta, located on the southern side of the Drexia Empire, had a lot of people.
A large number of people co and go since morning to the town square, and rchants were shouting loudly to show their rchandise to the passers-by.
Normally, most of them are ordinary people; however, today, it has changed, adventurers and knights could be seen patrolling the town.
Alex's group entered the city after successfully passing the check-up.
〖This city will fall.〗Nyx suddenly said this.
Alex stopped.
''What is it?" The girls asked him; however, he had no ti answering them.
〖My sister's intuition is always spot-on; better think of a counterasure.〗Silveria suggested.
'I see.' Alex said before finally answering the girls.
''It's nothing; let's imdiately go to the guild.''
They imdiately head to the guild before searching for Inn.
The group rapidly arrived at the Celesta adventurer guild branch, a four-story building; they entered, they were greeted by the sa usual scene; however, with more adventurers, there were so many adventurers present that the first-floor feel crowed.
After finding their way to one of the counters, Alex, under the disguise of Sam, approached the receptionist.
''I'm Sam, Leader of the Sky Wolf Group.'' He introduced himself.
The receptionist lady's eyes widened; it was like a fan seeing her idol for the first ti; she was excited; however, she quickly cald down her excitation and acted professionally.
''Welco, Mr. Sam. I'm Chloe. Let's update your guild card.''
Alex nodded and handed over his fake guild card; at the sa ti, he leaned against the counter to ask what was going on; the adventurers were so focused that not many looked in their way even though it was their first ti coming here.
''Chloe, can you tell the reason for so many adventurers to gather up here?"
''It's because the guild master has an announcent. It's an ergency quest.'' Chloe explained as she updated and checked the Sky Wolf Group ranking; after their last exploit in saving Elesim, their rank increased considerably, making them the most sought newcor group. People would want them because of their reputation.
Alex and the girls exchanged gazes and imdiately understood what was happening. Usually, Celesta would face monsters wave twice a year; however, now isn't the ti for the second wave, and yet there is an ergency quest being triggered, which ans the second wave was about to begin; this is not a natural one by man-made.
Most of the adventurers present here may not know the truth, but Alex and his group did; the ones behind this forced monsters wave is the sa group that previously targeted Elesim for the magic core.
Suddenly, there was a commotion, a group of people descended from the upper floors, all adventurers eyes were gathered on this group.
A muscular man around fifty, silver eyes, silver hair, and silver bed, on his left, was an elf with glasses, while on this muscular man right was strangely soone Alex knew well, Conrad, the fla prince.
'Never thought I would encounter him here.' Alex mumbled. Strangely, Conrad happened to look at him at the exact mont; his eyes lingered for a second on him before he closed them again. For so reason, the young man with light blond hair seed familiar; however, Conrad could swear to have never seen him before; how strange.
Alex smiled, seeing Conrad's reaction. Behind the three were two-man, twins to be exact.
The muscular man Alex judged to be the guild master stopped just before coming down; he observed the crowd of adventurers.
''Greetings everyone, I'm Silver, the acting guild master. The reason for your presence here today is because of an ergency. O know you all have work you were doing, but this is because of an ergency, and it's not like you're losing anything. As you know, Celesta repeatedly faces monsters wave because we face the Fog Forest, ho of nurous monsters.
We face monsters wave twice a year, normally it not the ti for the second wave yet, however, sohow it changed.''
''What?''
''Why are there monsters wave at this ti of the year? Weren't the last two months ago?"
''Maybe it's a bad on.''
Adventurers started whispering the mont they heard Silver's words. He let them vent their frustrations a bit by whispering before he continued because he could guess what their question would be next.
''The reason for this sudden situation is unknown; normal animals have beco restless, birds escape from the forest, rchant carriages getting repeatedly attacked. We sent a ti of Rank 7 to investigate, but the result it's as you have heard it; they got wiped out, none managed to co back; however, they succeed sending a ssage: Prepare for the second wave. So, the ssage says.''
Gulp!
Most of the adventurers present are not even Rank 7 yet, hearing a group of veterans Rank 7 adventurers getting wiped made their gulp; however, although they were afraid, they were excited as well, if they perford well, they could calmly retire after facing this unusual second monsters wave.
Silver was happy to see that most adventurers didn't lose their courage learning what happened; it was now ti to talk about rewards to firmly tied them down. If only they knew the truth, Silver sighed and montarily closed his eyes, hardened his heart before announcing.
''Because it is a forced quest, I an ergency quest every participant would be paid Five Gold coins. Almost materials harvested would be at full price.''
*Uproar
Another uproar was started; they were surprised by the generous offer this ti; previously, they were paid around two gold coins. The guild would gain 20 percent of the collected materials; however, it almost doubled, and the monsters materials getting paid in full without a cut. It slls fishy but, they do not care.
''I'm in.''
It started with one voice, then it beca two, three, four, and soon every adventurer on the first floor admitted their full support because this is a compulsory quest, aning they have no right to refuse unless you want to see your adventurer license getting terminated you are forced to participate, however, being forced doesn't an you must perform well, so did it halfheartedly, however, this ti it was different because of the rewards.
''That is the spirit. I expect you all to perfect extrely well during this defensive battle not to let our beautiful city get tainted.'' Silver raised his voice.
'''''We will.''''
The adventurers responded louder.
''Good, go prepare. It might happen at any more but probably two days from now on.'' Silver said before dismissing the adventurers, and when Alex's group wanted to leave, they got called.
''Sky Wolf Group with .''
