Changing Guardians

[Border Curse]-Advanced Investigation Case.

It took a total of five hours.

The team entered the barn area at 2 PM, just as dusk was ending and night was falling.

Although it is all night, the fog becomes denser as night falls, and evil activities become more frequent.

Sergeant Kenny also left the Curse Space immediately, pretending to be a serious person who had been guarding the barn door the whole time and had not entered the barn at all.

actually.

Kenny remained hidden throughout, observing everything that happened inside the rancher's house.

I was amazed by the way the team solved the mission.

"Not bad... to be able to all come back alive, you Newcomer are among the best in recent years."

Kenny did not comment on the various sounds of swords clashing coming from the town area.

After all, he had just been secretly protecting these young people and had just exited the Curse Space. He was completely unaware of the cause and effect of the sudden attack and was waiting for a vulture stationed in the intelligence department to bring him back information.

"Sergeant Kenny... what's going on in the city?"

Abel heard various metallic clanging sounds, monster roars, magical beams of light, and raging fires, and wanted to rush back to help.

Just then.

The vulture flew back, clutching a scroll between its claws.

"A small team has officially entered the ' Castle District.' Due to the threat to the Grand Lord's castle, a ' Ghoul Riot ' has occurred within the Great Manor area."

Since this falls under the category of 'incidents within the training camp,' the Night Watcher will not intervene much; you will need to handle it yourselves.

"A team has already made progress on the advanced quests in the Castle District?"

Han Dong was startled. Although he knew very well that the most elite team of the Third Year was no worse than his group, he did not expect the other side to be so fast...

"Your current score has reached the 'passing' level and you have completed the ultimate task in a certain area."

Once the Ghoul Riot in the town has subsided, someone will contact you to provide more in-depth clues.

After saying that, Sergeant Kenny used a flight ability to head to the communications building in the center of town.

After all, the progress was a bit too fast. Logically speaking, the "Castle District" should have been opened after the fourth day of training.

As for Han Dong and the others, they immediately returned to the town to confirm that their residence had not been invaded by Ghoul.

Vulture Kenny met Vice Commander Hydra in the communications building. Hydra was sitting in a leather chair, smoking a cigarette, and people were occasionally handing her approval documents.

"Vice Commander, what's going on? How come the progress is so much faster?"

"These Third Year were taking on and completing low-difficulty tasks in a 'monopolistic' manner yesterday."

Today, through a 'clue trading' method, they exchanged various basic clues in their possession for clues that directly led to the Castle District from other teams.

Proceed deep into the manor at the 'fastest theoretical' speed.

This will allow the training camp to move ahead of schedule into the next phase.

"Do we need to take containment measures?"

Hydra remained calm. "There's no need. The overall difficulty of the ' Castle District ' is not something they can solve with such petty tricks."

Don't worry... based on the assessments conducted by the team leader, myself, and the Clock Master.

This Grand Lord, combined with the Hillside Ancient Castle, ranks among the top three most difficult training missions in the last twenty years.

Things aren't that simple.

Although the Grand Lord is unable to see us outsiders due to the influence of the Clock Master, he is constantly paying attention to the movements of these young people.

Such a being, approaching the level of a "Demon," should have the confidence and means to deal with these young people.

"... Alright then."

Vice Commander Hydra suddenly changed the subject.

"Kenny, I heard that the Newcomer team you're in charge of took first place on the leaderboard yesterday. They even surpassed the Third Year teams, which is unheard of."

I heard that students from 'Crow' are also in there. Is that why?

"Hmm... This Crow's Student possesses sufficient strategic vision and keen observation skills, and has already led the team to completely conquer the ' Wheat Field District.'"

"It's definitely because this kid led the charge; he's no ordinary person to be noticed by the crows... Have they already conquered the ' Wheat Field District '? Are any of the Night Watcher providing clues for their next mission?"

"The Night Watcher will only come after the Ghoul raid is over."

"Perfect! I'd like to meet these Newcomer ... Kenny, you'll be in charge of things here for now."

Kenny immediately frowned. "This... Vice Commander, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Commander Kaimon instructed me to keep a close eye on these young people and ensure their safety. If...

Kenny finished speaking at this point.

I felt a cold sensation travel up my calf.

Before he knew it, a large number of venomous snakes had attached themselves to his calves.

Hydra reached out and hooked his hand under Sergeant Kenny, pulling him closer and asking in a low voice:

"Kenny...do you think that having me manage this Newcomer squad would put them in danger? Do you think I can't even manage a Newcomer squad?"

"I wouldn't dare... I was just talking about Commander Kaimon..."

"Since the commander is not here, I am the leader... If you have any complaints about my opinions, you can report them to the commander at any time."

Kenny lowered his head as much as possible and responded in a calm tone, "Since the Vice Commander has made this arrangement, I will take charge of the communications room... You, Vice Commander, will be in charge of the Newcomer recruits team."

"Hmm... It should have been like this from the beginning. The team leader knows perfectly well that I hate doing copywriting."

Kenny nodded. "Then I'll take on the role of temporary commander-in-chief. I'll manage the 'training camp' in my own way."

"What ever."

Hydra handed over important documents, and even the commander-in-chief's medal, to Kenny, before leaving the communications building with a rather flamboyant gait.

Kenny gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage. "We need to report these matters to the commander when we get back... Hydra is far too self-centered; she could cause serious problems for our Behemoth Knight Order in the future."

I'm annoyed as much as I am.

Once Kenny accepted the responsibility, he immediately began working diligently.

Compared to Hydra, he naturally had much more responsibility, and he temporarily added many rules to stabilize the progress of this training camp.

"I hope these young people have a good time... Hydra certainly won't care about the lives of these younger generation."

Small town area.

Ghoul kept emerging from the ground, attacking anyone who came here.

Since each dwelling is protected by a barrier, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. All you need to do is slowly figure out how to kill the Ghoul inside.

Han Dong naturally knew where the Ghoul, which seemed to spring up endlessly from the ground, came from.

Such a quantity is nothing compared to the Ghoul Factory buried deep underground.

"Let's go..."

Wherever Han Dong goes, Ghoul will avoid him on their own.

Because the "Dr. Swollen," who is in charge of the Ghoul' work, is one of Han Dong's underlings.

Just as the team successfully returned to their residence and had just closed the gate...

Tap tap tap...

The sound of high heels, accompanied by a strange and cold aura, came from the stairwell...
