I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

However, after learning of the existence of undead monsters, the captain of the reconnaissance team also found it troublesome. Although a single low-level undead monster is not very strong, as long as there is a certain number of them, they are a very troublesome existence for the army. Not to mention that an entire kingdom's legion had died here, not to mention how many people had become undead monsters.

Most importantly, since there are undead monsters here, could there be even more powerful ones? If there's a lich here, this operation might be much more difficult.

After ensuring the safety of this mission, Yuhaka and her team planned to infiltrate from the top floor of the city gate fortress, since they wouldn't have to worry about being attacked from both sides by undead creatures from above.

After using her psionic powers to pull everyone up to the top of the city gate fortress, Yuhaka and the others saw a large door leading down. After a brief touch, they found the door was locked, but this was no problem for Yuhaka. With a single strike, she broke the lock on the inner door after drawing her Demon-Slaying Sword. After pushing open the door and finding no monsters around, they entered the stairs and successfully reached the interior of the city gate fortress. Inside, the dim environment was somewhat eerie, like being in a haunted house.

However, at Yuhaka's instruction, Yue also used light elemental magic to create an illumination spell. Under the illumination spell, the dim surrounding environment became clear, and the corridor in the old castle looked somewhat desolate. Everything around could symbolize that a fierce battle had taken place here. As for the result of the battle... the undead monsters in the castle and the dried traces of blood left around could tell the outcome.

At Yuhaka's signal, Yuhaka and Fran took charge of the front and rear positions, while Yue stayed in the center of the group. The other reconnaissance team members kept watch around Yuhaka and Fran. After arriving at a large hall, Yuhaka and Fran saw the corpses of the Kingdom's army soldiers wandering around. Clearly, the Kingdom's army soldiers had all turned into low-level undead monsters like zombies.

Seeing their former comrades transformed into undead monsters filled the reconnaissance team members with rage. After all, seeing their former companions, who had been laughing and joking with them, turn into corpses attacking them was truly infuriating.

Regardless, once the undead monsters appeared, everyone immediately went into battle mode. Yue was the first to strike, unleashing an ice elemental magic spell that produced several ice spikes that smashed the heads of the kingdom soldiers who had turned into zombies. Although the zombie soldiers didn't fall down even after their heads were blown off, it didn't matter to Yue. After realizing that destroying their heads was useless, Yue used another elemental magic spell to shatter the enemy into pieces. The shattered zombies naturally showed no signs of moving again, demonstrating the remarkable vitality of the zombies here.

After confirming that the enemy in front of them had been eliminated, the captain of the reconnaissance team asked Yue if using magic to deal with these low-level undead monsters was a bit too wasteful. Yue shook her head and said it was no problem. After all, her magic power was more than enough, and using magic as a basic attack method was fine for her. Even if she ran out of magic power, Yue could absorb some from Yuhaka. Yuhaka's magic power was plentiful, which made Yue feel as refreshed as drinking iced cola on a hot summer day, and she couldn't stop drinking it.

During the subsequent cleanup, Yuhaka and her companions successfully eliminated the undead creatures inside the city gate fortress. Apart from the zombies that the kingdom's soldiers had turned into, Yuhaka and her companions also encountered other undead monsters, such as the hard-working skeleton soldiers. In addition to human skeletons, Yuhaka and her companions also encountered animal-type skeleton monsters, which were probably former residents of the city.

In any case, Yuhaka and her team successfully resolved the issue of the city gate fortress. Although their job was only to gather intelligence for the follow-up troops, it didn't prevent them from dealing with the enemies here and providing their comrades with a place to stand.

"Miss Yuu, we've checked every corner of this fortress and found no undead monsters. It seems we've cleared it out. We can now call in reinforcements to handle this." The reconnaissance team leader reported to Yuhaka after inspecting the fortress. Upon hearing this, Yuhaka instructed Yue to contact Amanda and the others via magic. Amanda, receiving Yue's report, informed the kingdom's army commander. The commander was pleased to hear this good news, as the fortress would simplify their defenses. However, the presence of undead monsters caused him some concern. Many humans and animals had perished there, and the presence of necromancers or liches would make the upcoming battles even more difficult.

This made the commander of the kingdom's army wonder if he should request support from the church. However, the commander of the kingdom's army did not have such authority. The only thing he could do was to tell his king about the situation and let the king make the decision.

After Amanda and her adventurers, along with the kingdom's army, arrived at the city gate fortress, the heavy gates opened, and the kingdom's army commander quickly ordered his troops to occupy the castle and use it as their base. If the troops could then move along the city walls to the next city gate fortress and retake it, the subsequent operation to occupy the abandoned port city would be much easier.

Of course, things here are not as simple as the commander of the kingdom's army imagined.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1939 [Interrogating the Big Rat]

After the kingdom's army captured the fortress at the city gate, they quickly set up defenses to prevent the undead from attacking. However, the expected attack did not occur, which puzzled the kingdom's army commander. According to the characteristics of necromancers and liches, if the undead they controlled were destroyed, the enemy would know what happened immediately. But what was puzzling was that the enemy made no move at all, and did not even send over the undead used for reconnaissance. This gave people a strange feeling.

"Is that so... I understand. You may all go and rest." After listening to his subordinates' report, the commander of the kingdom's army dismissed them to rest. Amanda, standing nearby, looked at the commander and asked, "Commander, how is the situation?" The commander shook his head and sighed, saying, "Unfortunately, we haven't found any trace of the undead. It seems they don't intend to concern themselves with this matter, perhaps because they see the fortress's defensive capabilities and don't plan to attack."

For a necromancer commanding a large group of low-level undead monsters, it would be a pipe dream to think that a fortress could be breached by an army of undead composed of skeletons and zombies. Unless there are powerful high-level undead monsters, it would be very difficult to break through this fortress.

Regardless, although the undead monsters haven't made any moves, it doesn't mean the kingdom's army is inactive. After all, the kingdom's orders are to recapture the port city as quickly as possible. Naturally, the faster the better. The kingdom's army commander is also worried that the longer it drags on, the more variables will arise. If any unexpected situation prevents the city from being retaken, it will leave a bad mark on his career. Therefore, while being cautious, the kingdom's army commander will also try to capture the city as soon as possible. Ideally, he would first capture the city gates, fortresses, and walls. In any event, the undead monsters inside would at least have a harder time escaping.

But the prerequisite is to deal with the fog problem. Because of the fog, their visibility has always been poor. If something happens outside, they will probably be eliminated by the enemy before they can see anything.

After Amanda left the commander's office, she went to find Yuhaka and the others. However, when she found them, she saw the three of them torturing a large rat.

"Will you talk or not! Will you talk or not!" Fran used a flaming branch to poke at the large rat tied to the two chair legs under the chair in front of her. The rat was tied under the chair in a spread-eagle position and looked very unlucky. Stimulated by the flames, the rat also made a miserable "squeak squeak squeak?!" sound.

Seeing Yuhaka and the others acting like spoiled children, Amanda couldn't help but smile like an aunt, rubbing her cheek and saying, "Oh dear, even with such great strength, they're still just like kids..." Then, Amanda, in the manner of an elder, went to Yuhaka and the others and said, "Alright, kids, you can't play with the mice. After all, these animals are very dirty, and you might get bitten if you're not careful."

Hearing Amanda's words, Yuhaka and the others were also drawn to her. They glanced at Amanda and then looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Amanda, seeing this, felt something was off. Hmm... shouldn't a child caught bullying a small animal look guilty?

However, Amanda soon heard Yuhaka and the others' explanation. According to Yuhaka, the large rat being interrogated and hung up was actually sent to investigate the situation. Amanda was stunned by Yuhaka's explanation, but she quickly realized something. After all, many professionals could do similar things, such as using small animals as familiars to scout out enemy positions. There were quite a few professionals in this world who could communicate with animals.

After hearing Yuhaka and the others' explanation, Amanda put on a serious expression and thought for a moment before asking them, "Yuhaka, can you understand animals?" Fran and Yuhaka both nodded in response. Yuhaka could talk to animals but rarely used it, while Fran had learned the skill to communicate with animals after signing a contract with Yuhaka, thus enabling her to do so as well.

During the interrogation by Yuhaka and Fran, the big rat confessed everything. It said that it came here to investigate the situation at the behest of its kin. Generally speaking, no one would think that a group of fat rats were scouts sent by the enemy, right?

Unfortunately, thanks to the powerful psionic Yhwachka, these mice that came to investigate were doomed. After all, the way a group of mice discussed their investigation in front of Yhwachka was as ridiculous as a police officer discussing which bank to rob.

Aside from the rats that were dealt with, the rest were all bound hand and foot to chairs by Yhaka and then interrogated. Of course, in reality, interrogation wasn't necessary, since Yhaka had psychic abilities that allowed him to find out who the enemy was, but Yhaka was just looking for fun.

But despite having fun, Yuhaka had also investigated the matter thoroughly. The enemy was not an undead monster, but a group of rat-like creatures living beneath the port city.

Amanda's expression darkened upon hearing the news. She hadn't expected such a large horde of ratmen to lurk beneath their feet. This was hardly good news. Although she didn't know why ratmen existed beneath the city, Amanda didn't believe they were on vacation. With undead monsters and ratmen, the kingdom's army might face annihilation if they weren't careful.

Faced with this situation, Amanda immediately reported the matter to the commander of the kingdom's army. Upon hearing Amanda's report, the commander of the kingdom's army was also shocked. The information that a large group of ratmen were hiding underground and watching them intently made the commander's scalp tingle. He did not expect that in addition to the undead army, there was actually a ratman army underground.

The commander, faced with a very difficult situation, had no choice but to convene a meeting to discuss it. In the makeshift meeting room, everyone sat in dilapidated chairs listening to their superiors report on the presence of ratmen and an army of undead in the abandoned city. Upon hearing this information, everyone present was shocked, as this was a very troublesome matter for them. If it were just an army of undead, it would be manageable, but now that there was also a possible army of ratmen, they couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

These two enemies are not easy to deal with. However, considering these events, the officers of the Kingdom's army understand why the Kingdom's army was wiped out last time without any news being sent out.

However, for this reason, the kingdom's army also began to back down. After all, it would be too difficult for them to deal with these two forces. It would be virtually impossible to take back the abandoned city from these two forces.

The commander of the kingdom's army was also in a bit of a headache. Retreating was basically impossible, and if he returned in disgrace without achieving anything, he would likely lose his position and his family might even be implicated. This dilemma was causing the commander a great deal of trouble.

Just then, a crunching sound from the side attracted everyone's attention. Following the direction of the sound, everyone saw Yuhaka munching on potato chips with an "O~O" expression on her face, looking at everyone in front of her. When she saw everyone looking at her, Yuhaka also looked at everyone with an "O~O?" expression, clearly not knowing why everyone was looking at her. So Yuhaka focused her attention on the potato chips in her hand, then poured them all into her mouth and chewed them like a hamster with her cheeks puffed out.

"O~O Click click~"

Seeing Yuhaka looking like a hamster eating potato chips, the kingdom's officers present were dumbfounded. Well... although Yuhaka had disrupted their meeting, at least everyone felt relieved after seeing Yuhaka's silly appearance. However, after calming down, the kingdom's troops knew that leaving was impossible. Now, their only option was to request support from the Adventurers' Guild or the kingdom.

As for dealing with the ratmen, everyone felt it was a bit troublesome. If the undead could be dealt with using the Holy Light attribute that was effective against undead, then the ratmen would be quite troublesome. Not only had the kingdom's army never fought against the ratmen before, but the ratmen's digging of burrows everywhere also rendered the fortresses and walls useless, which had a very serious impact on the kingdom's army's defense. This was also the reason why the kingdom's army officers found it troublesome.

Just as the kingdom's army was deciding how to deal with the ratmen, Yuhaka suddenly spoke up, "Why are the rat holes flooded?"

Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, the kingdom's officers present wore puzzled expressions. Clearly, Yuhaka's sudden remark had given them a good idea. After all, water resources were plentiful here, as this was a port city. If they could find a way to flood the ratmen's tunnels with seawater, the ocean could help them eliminate a very troublesome enemy. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but get excited.

But the question is how to do it, since the entire city has been taken over by the undead. If we want to get to the bay, we probably need to cross the city to the other side.

Hearing the discussion among the kingdom's officers, Yuhaka's little head was filled with questions. He then asked, "Why go through the city? Why not just go around the city walls to the sea?" Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, everyone suddenly realized, "That's right! Wouldn't it be better to just go around the walls?" Although that's the idea, the problem is that there are bound to be enemies along the way, and seawater would be poured into the ratmen's tunnels.

The group was also a bit troubled and had a headache. They had found a suitable method, but they couldn't implement the plan. This left them at a loss for words. However, Yhaka said that he had a way to make the seawater flow into the ratmen's tunnels. Upon hearing this news, the kingdom's army showed a look of surprise. After all, if Yhaka had a solution, the next part of the plan would be handed over to Yhaka to carry out.

Furthermore, they would try their best to get whatever Yhaka needed. However, Yhaka didn't need anyone else with him for this mission; he only needed to bring Yue and Fran. After all, Yhaka was going to take Yue and Fran to gain experience. Also, he didn't need to bring anyone else into this mission, since he was too lazy to rescue anyone else if something went wrong.

In the end, no matter what, Yuhaka and his group accepted the mission of flooding the rat hole. Before Yuhaka and his group left, Amanda told them to be careful, since the situation of the enemy lurking in the shadows was unknown. Amanda was a little worried about Yuhaka and his group, not because she was worried that they couldn't defeat the enemy, but because she was worried that they would get hurt.

In response to Amanda's concerns, Yhaka struck a pose full of relief, indicating that there was no problem. Yue and Fran also said that there was no problem, since with Yhaka around, even if they encountered a lich, it wouldn't be a big issue. Hearing Yhaka and the others' words, Amanda finally put her worries to rest.

After Yuhaka and her companions set off, they proceeded along the city walls towards the sea. Along the way, they encountered scattered undead monsters, but Fran's swordsmanship turned them all into corpses—well... perhaps they were already corpses to begin with...

Regardless, after Yuhaka and her group successfully reached the seaside by following the city wall, they discovered that there were other people there.

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1940 [The Cultists Who Suffered a Great Misfortune Along with the Ratmen]

When Yuhaka and her companions arrived near the harbor, they noticed signs of fire. They suspected someone was there, but they weren't sure who it was. Whether it was a kingdom soldier they had previously sent was another question.

Yuhaka and her companions investigated this matter. After climbing the arrow towers surrounding the wall, Yuhaka used her excellent vision to observe the situation in the distance through the mist. In Yuhaka's eyes, she could see several large black sailing ships docked at the port of the harbor city. The sails were printed with thorny circles, giving off a very evil feeling. In addition, Yuhaka could also see various creature skulls hanging on the ships. Yuhaka was certain that normal people would not hang various creature skulls on their ships.

Furthermore, Yhaka also sensed a chaotic magical energy, which he suspected was likely from those Chaos Demons. However, Yhaka had no idea what they were doing here.

Most importantly, Yuhaka and her team's current task is to find a way to open up a channel that can pump a large amount of seawater into the underground tunnel. After thinking about it for a while, Yuhaka came up with a good idea.

After speaking with Yue and Fran, Yhwach quietly flew into the air, carrying the Holy Sword, and arrived at the location above the harbor. There, Yhwach assumed a stance for a quick-draw slash, and after locking onto a large sailboat docked in the crescent-shaped bay, he unleashed a powerful light slash that sliced ​​the sailboat in two. At the same time, the destructive force of the slash also destroyed the underground tunnels near the harbor. Immediately, a large amount of seawater poured into the underground passages like a flushing toilet. The ratmen active in the underground tunnels felt a sense of unease at the sudden rumbling noise, and their premonition was correct.

As a large amount of seawater flooded into the underground tunnel, the ratmen inside were also swept away. Although rats can swim, it was useless in this situation, since most of the underground tunnel was submerged. No matter how strong the ratmen are, they can't breathe underwater with gills like fish.

While the ratmen in the underground tunnels were having a bad time, the unknown forces whose large sailing ships were destroyed by Yhaka were also in dire straits. Although most of their personnel were not on the ship, their supplies were stored on it. With Yhaka's destruction of the ship, they had very little food left, and their means of escape were also cut off. They were probably in a panic.

Although Yuhaka didn't know which faction they belonged to, the chaotic magic made him 100% certain that those guys were enemies.

After dealing with these matters, Yuhaka immediately left. After Yuhaka reunited with Fran and the others, they heard panicked roars coming from afar. It was clear that the forces of those large sailing ships were panicked because their vehicles had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Of course, there were also angry roars, since Yuhaka's sabotage operation had completely disrupted the enemy's logistics and means of movement. If they wanted to leave, they could only pass through the city with a large number of undead monsters and exit through the city gate. Otherwise, they couldn't possibly leave by swimming, could they?

After Yuhaka and her group finished dealing with things here, they returned to report to Amanda. Upon hearing Yuhaka's words, everyone present was somewhat surprised by the news, as they had not expected that in addition to the undead monsters and ratmen, there would also be people who appeared to be cultists active here.

The kingdom's army was also puzzled by this news, as they couldn't figure out why the cultists would appear here. Perhaps they had created this bunch of undead.

Regardless, after hearing that the rat's nest had been submerged by the sea, the kingdom's army no longer needed to worry about attacks from creatures emerging from the ground. Although there were troublesome cultists, the enemy's warships had sunk, so the kingdom's army no longer needed to worry about potential artillery attacks, making their task much simpler.

The kingdom's army first occupied the city walls and the city gate fortresses. After all, those places were essential for the kingdom's army to deal with the enemies inside the city. However, because there were stone staircases on the inside of the city walls, they needed to block the entire staircase. Otherwise, the enemy would run up the city walls from those staircases, and the city walls would be of little use.

Regardless, the kingdom's army did have a slight advantage. In order to trap the enemy here as much as possible, the kingdom's army acted quickly. At the same time, the kingdom's army also wanted to retake this place. In response, the kingdom was prepared to use an extreme attack, which was to set the entire city on fire.

The kingdom's army originally did not intend to use this tactic, since the oncoming sea breeze could easily cause the flames to blow towards them. Therefore, the kingdom's army dared not use fire attacks, fearing that they might accidentally set themselves on fire.

However, once it was confirmed that Yuhaka could generate a current of air flowing towards the bay, the kingdom's army prepared for a fire attack.

As the direction of airflow changed, the kingdom's army threw burning torches into the abandoned houses in the city. Although this would greatly increase the pace of city construction, it would at least disinfect the area, since a plague had once occurred there, and being a little excessive was not a problem.

Meanwhile, at the top of the city gate fortress, Yuhaka and her companions watched the city turn into a sea of ​​fire with expressions of amusement. After all, this was not their city, so they didn't care what it looked like.

However, thanks to the air currents blowing through Toyhaka and the fire, the thick fog surrounding the city has been significantly reduced, at least to the point where people and animals are indistinguishable from each other at a distance of five meters.

In any case, after the fire was extinguished, the commander of the kingdom's army took advantage of the momentum to send out a vanguard to investigate the situation, and at the same time, Yuhaka and her reconnaissance team began to move. Because of the fire, enemies such as zombies were basically turned into charred meat, while skeleton-type undead monsters were fine. After all, there was not much on their bodies to burn, so they would not turn into a lump of coal like zombies.

However, ordinary skeletons are not just a match for Yuhaka and her group. When Yue threw out a ball of holy light that shone above her head, the undead monsters were gradually destroyed, their bodies emitting black smoke. Ordinary low-level undead monsters could not withstand Yue's wide-range light elemental attack, while high-level undead monsters could withstand it. However, after Fran used a single-target light elemental magic attack on them, they would become sluggish and their bodies would emit black smoke.

Regardless, the weakened undead monsters could be easily smashed to pieces by ordinary soldiers using their warhammers, let alone Thyhaka and the others.

As Yohaka and her companions continued their journey, they encountered some new enemies. Before them stood a group of figures clad in black armor, their armor marked with spiked rings. Undoubtedly, they were followers of the Chaos Demons.

Upon discovering Yhaka and her companions, the Chaos cultists charged at them menacingly, seemingly intent on chopping them into mincemeat. However, Yhaka calmly drew her heavy crossbow and unleashed a barrage of attacks. The unfortunate leader at the front was riddled with bullets; even the thickest armor couldn't withstand Yhaka's crossbow fire. Before the cultists could react, Yhaka had wiped them all out.

Seeing that Yhaka had taken down so many seemingly troublesome enemies in one fell swoop, the scouts present were dumbfounded. They obviously hadn't expected Yhaka to be able to deal with those Chaos cultists so easily.

Fran, on the other hand, felt a little disappointed. After all, those Chaos Cultists seemed quite strong, and they might have been good targets for training. Fran briefly mentioned to Yhaka that she should leave a few enemies for herself to try. Yhaka naturally agreed to Fran's request, saying that he would leave some enemies for Fran next time. Fran then showed a happy expression.

Hearing the conversation between Yuhaka and Fran, the reconnaissance team present was dumbfounded. They hadn't expected that the master and apprentice were discussing the distribution of cult members. Those cult members looked extremely powerful. With their own strength, they couldn't possibly defeat them, let alone fight them head-on. Even if they used their advantages to launch a sneak attack, they wouldn't be able to win.

Moreover, if those cultists heard what Yuhaka and the others were saying, they would probably be furious. After all, the thought of being treated like cannon fodder and trained as disciples would make those cultists feel extremely resentful and angry.

Regardless, the reconnaissance team captain didn't think much of it. After all, the stronger Yuhaka and her group were, the safer their weaker reconnaissance team would be. This would help them complete their mission here, since they had come to this city not only to reclaim it, but also to reclaim something that was very important to the kingdom.

Yuhaka naturally knew what those reconnaissance troops were up to, but he didn't care much. After all, that thing was basically useless to him, probably not as useful as Ester.

As for what that thing is, it is the legendary Sword of the Warrior, something Yhaka already possessed long ago.

.............................................

.............................................

After Yuhaka and her group successfully arrived at an abandoned cathedral, they stopped there. The reconnaissance team leader, who was standing nearby, surveyed the surroundings. Seeing that the cathedral doors were tightly closed, it seemed that the cultists had not broken in. As for whether the cultists had taken anything from inside and then closed the doors, the reconnaissance team leader did not think that the cultists would be so polite as to steal from someone else and then politely close the doors.

The reconnaissance team captain then expressed his gratitude to Yuhaka and the others, explaining that without them, the kingdom's army wouldn't have arrived so quickly. Fran and Yue looked puzzled by the captain's gratitude, as they didn't possess the powerful psychic abilities of Yuhaka to perceive his thoughts.

Yuhaka, with his hands on his hips and a smug expression, clearly accepted the praise and gratitude. Seeing Yuhaka's =w=~ expression, the reconnaissance team leader didn't know what to say. But in any case, it was already very lucky that they were able to arrive here so quickly. If it were just them, the target would probably have been taken away by the cultists long ago.

After completing their mission of holding off the cathedral, the reconnaissance team leader instructed Yuhaka and her companions to investigate the surrounding area to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. He also wanted to keep their transport secret, as news of the Sword of the Hero would attract numerous powerful factions vying for it. This information was known only to the kingdom's army commander and his trusted confidants.

As for the reconnaissance team leader's intention to send them away, Yuhaka naturally had no objection. After all, what was hidden down there wasn't some super rare super ham, so why should Yuhaka go up and join in the fun? They weren't even going to give them any food. So Yuhaka took Fran and Yue to patrol other places and grab something good to eat.

Seeing Yuhaka leave, the reconnaissance team captain seemed relieved. After all, Yuhaka was very strong, and if she was unwilling, he really wouldn't have had a way to get rid of her. Considering how sensible she was, he would have his commander give Yuhaka and the others more rewards from the Adventurers' Guild. Without Yuhaka and the others, this operation wouldn't have progressed so quickly.

P.S.: Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!

Volume 5 [Slice of Life + Arknights + Another World]: Chapter 1941 [Moving to the Next Stop After Completing the Mission]

After Yuhaka and her group arrived at the cathedral, they were handed over to the kingdom's army to deal with, while Yuhaka and her group were responsible for dealing with any enemies that might appear in the surrounding area.

Besides undead monsters, the enemies appearing around them also included cultists in black armor. Perhaps knowing someone was vying for their targets, Yuhaka and her companions encountered some rather troublesome individuals. Of course, it wasn't much of a problem for Yuhaka herself, but in addition to the cultists in black armor, there were also Chaos Eggs and cultist knights in black armor appearing before them, looking like a regular army. The kingdom's army was far inferior to theirs; essentially, one of the cultists in black armor could take on several kingdom soldiers. Well… that was to be expected, since these cultists had received some form of blessing from the Chaos God, making them stronger than ordinary kingdom soldiers.

However, these enemies were no problem for Yhaka. After Yhaka dealt with the Chaos Egg and the leader-like creature, he also took care of some Minotaur-like creatures among the Beastmen. These big guys, blessed by the Chaos God, were not easy for ordinary people to deal with.

After dealing with the cultists, Fran shook off the blood from the Key of Domination on her hand. She then carefully examined the cultists that Yue had defeated, clearly wanting to see if there were any heads she might have missed. Unfortunately, Yue showed no mercy, and with one spell, most of the cultists were dead. Those who weren't dead were already cut down by Fran.

"Master, it seems all the enemies here have been dealt with." After looking around and finding no enemies, Fran reported the situation to Yuhaka. Hearing Fran's words, Yuhaka sensed that there were no enemies and nodded. He then led Yue and Fran away from there. After returning to the cathedral to prepare, Yuhaka saw the Kingdom's army loading a large box onto a fully armed carriage. This showed how important the Kingdom's army was to protecting this item.

When the Kingdom's army saw Yuhaka and her group return, they greeted them. The captain of the reconnaissance unit also approached Yuhaka and her group, asking them to escort the transport convoy. After all, the goods were very important, and if they were left to their own devices, the cultists might steal them. Therefore, they had to be careful. Although they were asked to escort the goods, Yuhaka could still see that the carriages were surrounded very tightly, and it looked like anyone who dared to approach would be surrounded by a group of burly men.

However, Yuhaka wasn't interested. After all, it wasn't something to eat, and as for weapons, he already had the Baradion and Ester. Ester didn't really like having other swords. As for the Baradion, Ester was actually a bit inferior to it. After all, the Baradion was more versatile than Ester. Apart from its anti-magic properties, manipulation of steel elements, and ability to transform into various swords, Ester's only advantage was its ability to transform into a human.
