Chapter 928: Variant monsters


    ?


    With Klein and the other wyvern riders, we headed off right away.


    I left the meeting to the prime minister and the regent, though it wasn''t as if I would have gained anything from staying there.


    The only thing that was developing was a headache rather than knowledge.


    So it was a better use of my time to take out these ces that were filled with monsters instead.


    After all, I should be the only one that could handle this.


    Since we were going out again, that meant that we would need a guide to show us all of these ces.


    Instead of being followed by people who only wanted to watch over us, we were now being followed by people that actually wanted to help.


    That included the same dark clothed person that the former second prince sent before.


    This person was following us as a guide that would lead us to the different ces filled with monsters.


    The first ce that we arrived in was a canyon filled with orcs.


    This was a ce that had been blocked off since there were only so many entrances to this canyon in the first ce. So that meant the ones that were assigned here faced fighting that was quite intense.


    They would have to fight several times a day against the monsters that tried to escape this canyon.


    It was clear by their appearances that they had all suffered injuries to varying degrees fighting these monsters, but it didn''t seem like they were nning to give up. Even though they had been injured to this degree, it seemed like they were still willing to keep fighting for those that they protected.


    It seemed that even though the Midra Kingdom had terrible people at the top, there were still good people at the bottom.


    The country shouldn''t be judged just based on the people that were at the top, there were people that could be considered good at the bottom.


    As we arrived, there was amotion that came from the canyon itself.


    As soon as the soldiers heard this, they didn''t even bother greeting us as they armed themselves.


    It was clear that there were monsters that were trying to escape.


    So they were all arming up to face these monsters.


    It was just that...


    "Ah! They''re not just normal orcs! There are high orcs!"


    "It''s not just high orcs, there are also ck Orcs and Blood Orcs!"


    "There''s no way that we''ll be able to fight all of these orcs!"


    Themander gritted his teeth when he heard this, but he still raised his weapon and said, "It doesn''t matter! We just have to fight them for our families! Charge!"


    The soldiers hesitated a bit, but they still followed themander''s orders in the end.


    It seemed that these soldiers were quite brave, but I had already seen this during the war when I ughtered the Midra Kingdom army.


    But this time, there was no need for them to kill themselves like this.


    I waved my hand at Klein and he nodded back at me before saying, "Charge!"


    As soon as he gave this order, the wyverns dive bombed the orcs that were charging up from the valley. As they dive bombed the orcs, there were me breaths that were unleashed on these orcs.


    Different from when we fought in the forest, we used the me breaths without any hesitation here. This ce wasn''t a ce that was filled with things that could burn, the canyon was just filled with rocks and more rocks.


    So there was no reason for us not to use the wyvern me breaths.


    With the mes raining down, there was the smell of burnt pig that filled the air.


    Though there were some of these orcs that didn''t burn from the me breaths of the wyverns.


    These were the orc variants that were mentioned before.


    The ck Orcs and the Blood Orcs were variants for a reason, they had skin that was much thicker than the normal orcs and were able to resist the mes.


    Though it was impossible for them topletely resist the me breaths of the wyverns so they were still burnt to a certain extent.


    But the me breaths didn''tpletely rout them like with the other orcs.


    These ck Orcs and Blood Orcs continued charging, but all that meant was that they charged into the ws of the wyverns.


    There were wyverns that shot me breaths and there were wyverns that dived down with their ws.


    Even if their skin was thick enough to resist the mes of the wyverns, that didn''t mean that


    they were thick enough to resist the sharp talons of the wyverns.


    They were ripped apart before they could even realize what happened.


    With thebination of mes and ws, the orcs were all wiped out in no time.


    But even with the orcs gone, the soldiers didn''t let their guards down for a single second.


    They were looking at the wyverns as if we were the next enemy.


    In the end, it took the former second prince''s seal to convince them that we weren''t and the elite guard of the former second prince exined everything.


    Themander quickly bowed his head to me as he said, "Your majesty, I never thought that you would personallye to our rescue. This is..."


    He didn''t get a chance to keep going since I knew that he would just keep ttering me.


    I cut him off by asking, "The orc variants, how long has it been since they started showing


    up?"


    Themander was surprised to hear this question, but he answered with a bitter smile, "Today was the first day. If they showed up before this, there would have been no way for us


    to stop them."


    I gave a nod as if I agreed with him.


    I could see the soldiers that were here, so I knew that what he said was true.


    But that wasn''t a good thing either.


    It seemed that the monsters were changing into higher ranked variants and there were so


    many of them that they were evening out of their breeding grounds.


    Just how powerful would the monsters guarding the crystal be?
