102 Episode 100 Three Days and Three Nights (1/2)
The city of Ishka was calm. Or, it was.
Kita Normally, the boulevard, which is crowded with many people, is a deserted area where no cat is found. The wind blowing in the direction of is raging with dust, making the building scream. A child with no owner was rolling around the ground with a storm.
A sight like a ruin where no one lives.
Of course, not all Ishka residents have died. Neither did anyone escape from the city. It is true that many residents have fled south, but many still remain in Ishka.
However, it would have been extremely difficult to get that fact out of the deserted town. Many seemed to be trapped in the building like shells, just waiting for the storm to pass.
Three days have passed since the first roar.
Many who lost their way into the panic due to the roar regained their sanity, and the once-devastated Stampede line of defense recovered with strong reinforcements. More to this point, most of the beasts that had overflowed from Titis at this point were being defeated, and when it came to Stampede, things were clearly ending.
Nevertheless, why is the city of Ishka quiet like a ruin? The reason was soon due to the sound of the ground.
----------------------------------------
The ground sways as if thrusting up three times, and the buildings in Ishka squeak. The long walls that protected Ishka rocked as if they could not endure.
The sound of the ground did not subside once. Once a little, once a little, twice-still, not the next five.
Abnormal magnitude and frequency too much to call an earthquake. Normally, people would have been very suspicious and noisy.
But the roar of the dragon But now, many Ishka residents have accepted this anomaly with resignation. This anomaly began shortly after the first-three days after it occurred.
Meanwhile, the sound of the earth was repeated day and night. Children can understand that a three-day continuous earthquake is not a natural phenomenon.
Proof of roaring unstoppable sound of the earth is still alive. In that case, there are only two ways to deal with those who have no way to fight, either giving up or running away. Those who can escape have finally escaped. It was inevitable that Ishka was dyed in the color of resignation.
Under such circumstances, the government and adventurer guilds did not cheer when the stampede was over. The continual sound of the ground was equivalent to the dragon's mockery of ”nothing is over,” and the residents were forced to sleeplessly.
Logistics has stopped, shops have not opened, and if stockpiles are exhausted, hunger is waiting next. If a dragon attacks directly before that, it will be crushed like a worm like a human. Invisible anxiety, fear of death approaching slowly. Because of the sound of the ground, I could not sleep at night, and even if I did, I was immediately woken up.
The ever-decreasing people had no choice but to pray. Hopefully the elite of the adventure city Ishka will destroy the culprit as soon as possible.
--At that time, in the adventurer's guild that plays a part in the city's strength, the receptionist Liddell was making a report to the guild master Elgart.
The matter, ”Master, there was a message from the defense line Parfe. Parfe says. ”
Goz, Klimt, and Claire are, of course, the three.
These three days-no, three people have been able to stop Stampede's demon, including his previous activities. If they weren't there, there was no doubt that the line of defense had been broken earlier.
Elgard, following Liddell's report, nods slowly.
”I see. I decided that the next wave would not come and headed for the cause.”
”That's right, but whatever the purpose, I'd like you to be discreet.”
Liddell complains about their separation. Although largely due to his own carelessness, Liddell, who witnessed the violence at Sora's house, could not be friendly to the three.
Elgart responds by squinting slightly.
”I guess it was useless to ask for permission. In fact, the end of the stampede is just a hopeful observation. We cannot afford to allow them to leave in this situation. There was no”
The three would have acted arbitrarily because they knew that-Elgart's face was intensely tired.
Yae Roar The guild master, who is always elegantly dressed and does not lose his elegant behavior, has been able to respond to the madness since then.
Over the past three days, Elgart has had no time to sleep or sit down in his chair, and has been struggling with the government, the guild, and the city. The burden on Elgart's shoulders was considerable, especially in the beginning of the uproar, as many of the government's heavyweights collapsed due to the roar and Ishka's urban functions were completely paralyzed.
Meanwhile, Elgart brought together confused staff and adventurers, arranging them throughout the city to maintain security. Of course, he not only let his subordinates leave, but Elgart himself went out.
Lid The adventurer's guild master and first-class adventurer Elgart is one of Ishka's most famous celebrities. Not surprisingly, the government officials, the merchants in the city, and the commanders of the legitimate army came to face. Elgart kept in touch with them, laid up cooperation, built an extraordinary chain of command, and kept them in a pot of doom, which would otherwise be spilled.
Without this rush, Ishka's turmoil would have been unstoppable, with looting and even rioting in the city.
Goz and his colleagues supported the line of defense during the run. Without the Gozus, Elgart would have had to prioritize the removal of monsters over the control of confusion, and consequently the city of Ishka's turmoil could have grown several times, and possibly tens of times, now. unknown.
Furthermore, Elgart was on the front line and couldn't achieve the overwhelming results of the three men, and probably the defense line had collapsed. Then Ishka must have died in a morning due to internal trauma.
Independence The fact that Ishka has survived right now is undoubtedly due to the achievements of the three. If you think about it, you have to close your eyes a little. If you were to escape the enemy, but not to escape the enemy, Elgart thought so.
