Chapter 35: Questionable business
The guy easily jumped over fifty meters of height, and so Terry managed to find some guards in the walls. He aimed as quickly as he could, even before he could begin to fall. He shot the first arrow and then killed one of the guards. Before the body could even fall, he shot another. In the end, he managed to kill three guards before landing.
The other duo managed to clear the path as well, so the guild masters began to climb the wall. Some of them preferred Jumping over it, but climbing was more silent. Terry got surprised when he saw that his grip strength was enough to give him a foothold even when he used the small marks and holes in the walls.
"Putting that aside... stone walls?" Terry frowned. "They have that kind of weapon and yet use stone walls?"
That was indeed weird. Everyone assumed that the enemies belonged to a sapient species, perhaps one of the smartest that humans had found until now with the technology of weapons they had, and yet...
Terry shook those thoughts out of his head when he reached the other side. The houses in the town didn't look particularly special either. They have the first floors made of brick and the top of wood...
Those illumination poles still were around at some points, but some houses still had a light inside, and since they had windows that didn't block the wind from outside, there was a chance that they would feel the smell of blood.
"Follow me," Vanessa whispered.
Terry could tell that Vanessa was itching to use her best magic to attack. Still, she slowly led the group toward the enemy. Her spells were fast, but just to be safe, she could hit the enemy with one hundred percent accuracy if she got even closer. However, her cool disappeared when she saw some bodies behind the throne.
Female goblins, female orcs, corpses of other creatures that were hard to identify, and they were female. They looked like broken puppets that had been thrown away once they lost their use. Considering the number of cocoons around, it was easy to imagine what the boss of the monsters used them for...
"Come to think of it, I never saw those creatures that looked like females... they can only reproduce using other species, and they were sending the newborn warriors to cross the portal..." Terry thought.
Terry stopped his analysis when he saw a huge concentration of lightning bolts on Vanessa's hands. She was pissed, and so were the other women in the group. Being defeated in a war was one thing, but being used like that because of their reproductive functions... it was hard to imagine something even more humiliating...
Vanessa pointed both arms at the creature and then fired a powerful beam of electric energy at it. The noise probably woke up the whole town, but that was just a minor convenience. The group realized that when they saw at the last minute, the boss was raising a Spear and blocking the attack.
The attack was redirected to the side and then hit a pillar before making it fall. At the same time, the boss got up from the throne...
"It took you all long enough..." the boss said with a rough and crispy voice. "It is time to pay for the sin of dirtying my palace with your presence."
