Book 17 Chapter 2: Part 4
?
The presences detected by Shin and Yuzuha belonged to soldiers stationed in the fort.
Shin stated he was a scout for the reinforcements sent to the 9th fort and the soldiers, relieved, lowered their weapons. They were rather tense when they first noticed someone was coming.
“So you weren’t attacked by Wolfreet…I mean, a wolf monster surrounded in red flames?”
One of the soldiers was a company commander, someone in charge of several platoons, so Shin immediately asked him what happened.
He also showed the soldiers proof that he was one of the adventurers hired for the anti-flood efforts, just in case.
The certificate serving as proof given to special cases such as Shin and Shibaid was signed by the Dragon Emperor.
In Kilmont there would be no higher proof, so the company commander answered Shin’s questions without any hesitation.
“That’s right. At first, we were attacked by a few giant centipedes and many bee-like monsters. The bee ones flew right over the fort walls and attacked. While we were dealing with those, the centipede monsters broke through the walls. We could have taken care of the bees somehow, but the centipedes were too much for us. Our weapons just bounced off of them and it didn’t look like our magic affected them either.”
