Chapter 132 - Capture The West Desert (IV)

-Congratulations! You have leveled up from level 99 to level 100!

I wipe away my sweat as I didn't realize my level has risen to this extent already. And take note that I didn't intentionally farm my level to level 100, I became one due to the number of monsters attacking me on sight while I am on the way to the village that the West Desert's troops and the Queen's Troops were gathered for the subjugation and reclamation after asking the soldiers stationed on the previous village.

Apparently, that was the only holding line left to defend the West Desert and all of the people who needed to be evacuated are all located in that place while the carriage is constantly transferring them back to the safer village. Due to the constant attacks, the transfer halted as this will endanger everyone's life. However, I didn't expect this kind of frequency that most of the people are talking about, this is just ridiculous.

"What the hell? Why is it so frequent? Is it due to the event that the attacks get this frequent and violent?

" I mumbled to myself.

My exp gain stopped growing as I am too high level already. The enemies might be hard but they barely make my exp bar move after they are killed. The Versatile Class is now showing its stagnation in leveling. It won't be long before everyone caught up to my level before I can even raise my level to level 101.

Thankfully, I arrived in the village. I should have arrived much sooner if not for the enemies that keep on appearing and interfering with my trip to the village. I can't summon my summons too due to how troublesome it will be if the NPCs mistook me as an enemy commanding the monsters even though it was my own summons and has nothing to do with the monsters that are spawning in the area. Unlike in PC MMORPG genres where you can summon your pet everywhere and anytime, here you can't do just that. Sure you can if you want to lessen your reputation and branded as an enemy by the NPCs, banning you from entering towns and villages.

Anyways, I already expected the worse in the village but it was much worse than I expected. All of the buildings and houses are wrecked to the point you can only tell it was a house before due to the remaining skeletal structure left behind on it. The rest that completes the houses or buildings are either reduced to rubble while some are just nothing but those skeletal structures left behind.

The most common thing I have seen in the village though are tents. I don't think I have seen any solid building left behind except tents. Just looking at it makes me feel a bit sad. Not only the buildings look battered up but also the people. Except for the soldiers who are geared up, the normal populace of the village does not look good since most of them are just wearing rags. The situation is much more dire than necessary.

Approaching the gate, the guards immediately stopped me from entering, similar to the first village, and blocked my way.

"State your business,

" the guard said in a very stern voice.

I pull out the same letter I showed the previous guard and he immediately let me go inside the moment he sees the royal seal stamped at the bottom of the letter. It was quick and the guard didn't bother to verify if it is real or not. He just let me in without any hesitation. But I am fine with that, less hassle, easy access, and no problem.

My quest did not specify anything except that I need to recapture the West Desert back from the demons and support the human army to drive them away. There is no specific way to complete it. It doesn't give any sort of info like asking an NPC to get their trust to fully do this.

However, I needed some info related to the demons which is why I have to meet the captain of the army stationed here.

I was looking for the tent of the captain when a message appeared in my inbox. Opening it revealed to be a Video Call. I opened it and answered her call.

"What's up?

" I asked.

"Where are you? We just arrived in Sandurk with Harmless Sparrow. Are you already in Sandurk?

"

"Yeah. I already proceed to the quest. You guys will have to do the quests yourselves for now since my quest is not possible to be shared and it is a solo quest. I am in the West Desert's village camp.

"

"You already arrived that far? I underestimated you a lot I think. If you can't accompany us, then we will just progress in the quest as fast as we can so that we can catch up to you then.

"

"Alright. If you guys haven't started doing the first quest, be sure to not be ripped off by the goblin. Just take the quest's items and go. Don't bother to buy the other items he sells, they can be found in regular shops and they are much cheaper if bought. Be sure to also try bargaining with him. Don't let him get away with your money.

"

"Is that so? Then we will remember that.

"

"Alright, good luck completing it.

"

After our conversation, I was about to go to the captain's tent when an NPC soldier started shouting.

"Please evacuate immediately! We spotted a horde of monsters and an Elite commander monster, Moro the One-eyed Giant!

"

My eyes lit up. Moro the One-Eyed Giant! That monster is a boss monster in one dungeon in Sandurk. Moro the One-eyed Giant is already a zombie in that dungeon though but if I am assuming this right, the Moro right now is a living boss and not a zombified version of his. This means I can at least get a good chance to get a good drop from him if he was killed! After all, his zombified version drops generous rewards, what would go wrong against fighting his living counterpart?

I quickly went to the soldier to inquire about it.

"Where is the horde right now?

" I asked.

"Not too far from here. In around 5 minutes, they will be here already and I don't think we will be able to guard this place anymore. We will focus on evacuating the people instead of fighting the horde.

"

After that, the soldier returned to the evacuation process. I grinned seeing this and quickly rush out of the village. And just like what the soldier said, the horde of demons and monsters are marching down. A towering Giant is also on the very front of the horde which means that is Moro.

I am already far enough and already in a good distance from the village and the horde is coming in quick. I summoned Leona and Titan out.

"My liege, your orders?

" Titan bowed down after he was summoned.

"Rip and Tear. Leave none of those creatures alive! Do not hold back.

"

When Titan heard this, his aura started emitting intense bloodlust and he pulls out his greatsword.

"Thank you, my liege. Well then, time to quench my thirst!

" Titan then brandishes his greatsword out and released a heavy roar.

I also pulled out my weapon and transformed it into a cannon. This will be a good chance to test its firepower.

"Time to harvest the resources before us!

"
