NOVEL WEB Chapter 779 Horned Demon
Chapter 779 Horned Demon
'That boy is the key to our survival.' thought Duchess Amberblaze.
After an hour, everyone could see a massive metallic boat Alkin approaching them. During this time, they no longer encounter any bounty hunters. Even if there is, Angus could perceive they only spying from afar or retreat in the distance.
Their previous encounter gives some deterrence to the surrounding weak bounty hunter. As for the previous bounty hunters, they find these bounty hunters are separate groups with a temporary alliance to assassinate Angus.
Only the rare space elemental users and armored guys survive among the assailants. Though the armored guy is on the brink of death. A single slash from a sword expert like Duchess Amberblaze is not a joke and could slice anyone into two pieces.
As for the weapon artifact user and his group, they end up dead under Duchess Amberblaze's giant greatsword attack.
"Captain of the Alkin 4 Abet, reporting!!" saluted the knight captain towards Duchess Amberblaze.
The Alkin magic vehicle is not just ordinary military transportation. With continuous improvement and advanced weapons, it is comparable to any Fortress. It is practically a mobile fortress.
Most of the Alkin is stationed across the Heart kingdom. However, all of them are managed and used by the Sur Knights. This also shows the support from King Leon towards these new knight squads.
In fact, all the previous broke Alkin is bought directly by King Leon after a series of negotiations with Jade. Yet, King Leon still decided to let these moving fortresses be managed by Sur Knight.
While the Sur Knights captain Abet talks with Duchess Amberblaze, "Bless the Ancestor's beard!! Bornja.. I-Is what I saw was real?" asked Kusibella, the female dwarf.
The other female dwarf Bornja didn't reply but hit Kusibella's head roughly. *Bang*
"Fuck your beard, Bornja!! That hurts!!" cursed Kusibella.
"Then, I am not dreaming. It's a moving fortress!! Hahahaha…." laughed Bornja excitedly.
Without waiting for anyone's permission, the two female dwarves inspect every corner of the Alkin as if they were meeting their child after a long time. This movement surprised the nearby Sur Knight, but they didn't do anything as Angus warned them.
They know these two magic cannon experts will love Alkin so much. One of the weaknesses of Magic Cannon is their mobility and massive size. Alkin is basically a perfect war machine to cover this weakness. They may be able to create something like a tank in Angus' previous life.
Moreover, the magic cannon is more destructive and powerful than the tank in his previous life. Although it is lower in terms of firing rate, razing a small city through a single fire is not a problem.
With Alkin's massive size, they didn't need to move their things from the carriage but directly put the carriage inside the Alkin's inner hull. Despite its continuous upgrade, Alkin's true purpose is safely carrying many people and things through harsh terrain.
Everyone was already inside Alkin and moving along the road in less didn't stop like before and kept moving.
Angus only alerts them about the ambush but does nothing else. than fifteen minutes. Just a few kilometers after they move, Angus once again feels another group of ambushers ahead. However, they didn't stop like before and kept moving.
Angus only alerts them about the ambush but does nothing else. The moment the greedy assailant finds the massive moving Alkin, they all panic or don't know what to do.
Be it spells, rocks, falling trees, or other hard obstacles, none of them could stop the moving Alkin. It is a truly unstoppable moving transportation.
Moreover, Alkin's core power uses Vigo's mana cycle rune and enchantment, which gives it infinite energy. In the end, the bounty hunter could only see Alkin passing through without being able to make a single scratch on it.
While Angus and the others enjoy the ride of Alkin, King Leon also receives some reports about their travel. He also gets the recent attack from a group of strong bounty hunters outside the kingdom.
"Hmm…. It seems we still underestimate the value of 2 million gold coins." muttered King Leon.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"Should we tighten our border check?" asked Marquis Dane while ignoring the voice in the background.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"No need. Our foreign trade is just recovering. We couldn't tighten our borders for the next few months to not scare any big merchant coming to our kingdom."
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"At least in the next few months, we couldn't close or show any movement in our border besides the routine check." said King Leon.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"My Lieget, we can't just let those bounty hunters go rampant on our land." said Duke Crestflare.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"Yes. I suppose we could only rely on Count Otebon and his extermination squad. I also hope you send this information to the noble circle."
"Whoever finds the source of these bounties will be handsomely rewarded. There is also a chance for them to be promoted in rank noble." said King Leon.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"This old Duke will rely on His Majesty's message in no time." said Duke Crestflare.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"Next, is there any news from Jade and his team?" asked King Leon.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"Yes. Jade and Duke Quinn arrive at the Undermine Council safely with the other team. It seems the place is getting worse and dangerous. The whole place is hit by various disasters every hour." summarized nearby staff.
*Rain Falling Down~* *Rain Falling Down~*
"Urgh… What the hell are you doing now?!!" shouted King Leon in anger after he couldn't hold on anymore.
Since a few days ago, the twin Gemini will sing Rain Falling Down with some circling dance whenever he goes. Even now, when he is having an important meeting with nobles, they also don't stop.
King Leon could bear it if he did his usual paperwork and regarded it as their usual mischief. However, they keep doing it in the last few days and in their meetings when they need to have a serious talk.
Just hearing their childish singing voice overlapping with the other people's is enough to annoy King Leon. Much less at this serious noble meeting.
"Rain Falling Down~ Rain Falling Down~" singing the Twin Gemini as if they didn't hear King Leon's words.
"Enough!! Stop it, you two!!" rebuked King Leon angrily while [Blink] near them.
"Ahh… Stony face!!" exclaimed Gemis.
"Stony face looks angry!!" said Gemin.
"Gasp… Stony Face giving another expression!!" said Gemis.
"Bad things will happen!!" said Gemin.
After saying this, the twin Gemini starts singing and dancing again to chase away misfortune.
"Rain Falling Down~ Rain Falling Down~" sang Twin Gemini.
"Urgh… Alright.. Alright.. I will play with you two later. Just stay silent for now." said King Leon.
"Ehh… Stony faces want to play with us?!" said Gemis.
"But, we can't!!" replied Gemin.
"Hm??" asked King Leon with a frown.
Then, he coldly gazes at the nobles in the room.
"Ehem… How about we continue the meeting next time." said Duke Crestflare as he noticed King Leon's cue.
After all the nobles leave the room, "Alright, speak clearly." said King Leon.
The Twin Gemini looked at each other before replying to King Leon.
"A demon will be coming." said Gemin
"Yeah, an evil horned demon." said Gemis.
"Horned Demon?! Is he strong?" asked King warily.
"Yeah. He is evil." said Gemis.
"Very evil." said Gemin.
"Can't you just eliminate him?" asked King Leon with a frown.
"We can't!!" replied Twin Gemini.
"Then, why are you singing and dancing?" asked King Leon.
"We heard the demon hates water." said Gemis.
"The rain prevented him from coming here." said Gemin.
"Err… Can't you just change the weather like usual?" asked King Leon confusedly.
"Nope." said Gemis.
"Our power is only temporary." said Gemin.
"And on a smaller scale." said Gemis.
"Wait… You don't mean to make the whole kingdom continuously rain, right?" asked King Leon.
The Twin Gemini look at each other before once again replying.
"Did Stone Face want the entire land to rain?" asked the Twin Gemini.
"Wait.. What??" asked King Leon back in confusion.
Now, the seventh-grade King is utterly confused by these twin star spirits. None of their words and actions make sense. It is as if this is their other mischief act.
"*Huft* Just to be clear… You are not doing this to annoy me, right?" asked King Leon.
"Nope." replied the twin Gemini simultaneously.
"The Evil demon is real." said Gemis.
"It is hateful." said Gemin.
"Stinky." said Gemis.
"Pervert." said Gemin.
"Phedophile." said Gemis.
'It seems they know a lot about this demon. A horned demon that was powerful enough for the star spirits. Just who is it? Wait.. Horned...' thought King Leon inwardly.
"Wait.. Wait… Is this demon another star spirit?" asked King Leon as he finally realized something.
"Yup." said the twin Gemini simultaneously.
"Urgh.. Can't you just make it rain on this city only?" asked King Leon.
"We can." said Gemis.
"But, it is temporary." said Gemin.
