The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 989

The 'Command Tent' as the General had called it was more of an art gallery of mission posters, Karl realized. Every surface was covered with reports, each of which had a bounty amount listed on the bottom, or a military strategic points value.

Karl wasn't sure what that meant, but assumed that the reward would come directly from the military for those missions that were closest to the populated areas.

"You can choose what you like from anything on the walls, that's all nearby, within two hundred kilometres. The map contains more incidents and suspected spawn points, if you want to go further afield and sate the Gods' bloodlust that way." The General explained.

Nachtia stared at the sheets on the walls. "This is all within two hundred kilometres? Most of these are military Company sized elements, headed by Overlords or Totems."

"I am well aware of the situation, thank you. This is what we're working with. There's fifty of them to every man in my Regiment, and even the cavalry can't move fast enough to deal with them all.

Every time that you remove one group, another comes to claim its territory." The General grumbled.

Nachtia turned to Karl, but he gestured for her to pick. This was her God's mission, so she should be the one who knew best what was important.

The black dragon's eyes seemed to absorb the light in the tent as she reached out and grabbed four papers off the walls.

"These four should be all close together. We can start with these, and then come back to pick more." Nachtia decided.

Karl looked at the sheet and saw that they were all related, but they had been spotted at different locations yesterday.

All four of them detailed groups of small monsters, Mostly Royal Ranked, but with Overlord Ranked leaders.

That seemed like an odd choice for the Black Dragon, but maybe that was a balance thing?

There should be nearly a thousand of the creatures in the groups, as opposed to five or ten per group for most of the Overlord Ranked threats. By pure numbers of excess, these were the largest that Karl could see among the sheets.

"Starting off ambitious, are you? I will warn you, the Rock Goblin Spawn was a nasty one. They're not normal Goblins, they can use Earth Magic." The General informed her.

Nachtia nodded. "The Black Dragon insists these need to go."

She turned to leave, and Dana took one last look before following. Now she understood why they had all been invited into the tent.

If you didn't see firsthand, you would never believe or understand just how bad the problem was.

Even the four sheets that Nachtia had pulled off the walls hadn't made a clear spot, just a few gaps between the sheets they had been partially overlapping.

"The location is close, and back to the east. Do you remember that pillar of stone that looked like a phallus? That's only a few kilometres from where they were seen this morning." Nachtia explained as she read the details.

From the ground, he couldn't see the base of the rock pillar, and Hawk didn't currently have it in sight to relay the information. So, he would open a portal to the top of the stone, then open another at ground level. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}
