The earth is tainted.”
“This forest is cursed.”
The priests’ warnings didn’t stop Weed.
“Summon Death Knight!”
Death Knight Van Hawk remained in front of the troops.
“Oh, a familiar place.”
The Death Knight walked valiantly.
And shortly after they discovered the Doppelganger. They could tell it was the Doppelganger because it had the same appearance as the boy Moss. Weed and the soldiers eagerly attacked the Doppelganger.
During the fight, the Doppelganger changed his form a few times. By alternating the skills used against the soldiers, Royal Knights and Van Hawk, it endured. The variety of skills it used was enough to cause confusion, but thanks to the combination of Weed and the Death Knight along with the Priests’ healing, the soldiers were able to win.
Weed and the soldiers eagerly took on quests.
All kinds of monsters emerged around the Village of Exiles. Giant Ants, Doppelgangers and so on, usually discovering the monsters at the start was the hardest part. The missions asked of them involved killing bizarre plants, animals and flame monsters within caves.
“Commander, we’ll serve under you!”
“Commander, we’ll follow you anywhere!”
Weed seduced the soldiers! In fact, the power of the soldiers did not help much early on. The reason being they were too weak. However, while hunting strong monsters one by one, they were getting stronger at a very fact pace. The mastery of the Royal Knights rose and the pincer movement with the Priests was done smoothly.
The army’s morale changed dramatically. At first, the soldiers didn’t trust in Weed much and weren’t providing much help as they were weak. But time was passing and the more they hunted the stronger they became. Weed in the central role was sweating due to the light. Hunting the large monsters around and sweeping through the quests was Weed!
There were plenty of perilous moments, but Weed successfully resolved the quest and went on. And then the experience climbed at a very fast rate. When hunting just one of the monsters, a certain amount of experience and items will drop. But when you receive a hunting quest, in addition to when you catch the monsters, the quest experience rewards were very savory. The experience they received was practically 3 times as much as they would receive in Rosenheim Kingdom.
‘I guess because it’s somewhat dangerous.’
However, the drawback to the quests was the poor quality of things received.
In areas with poorly developed technology, all the produced items were of poor quality. That’s why when Weed was receiving weapons as reward he was giving it to Royal Knights or soldiers.
