Minutes later, they had reached the warehouse that Klaus mentioned they could hide. After reaching the warehouse, Zennie and the others agreed to Klaus’ claim a moment ago. Looking at the place, it seemed truly hard for monsters to locate the place.

To arrive at this place, the monsters must cross the freezing river in front, or climb the wall where they went over. The river was at the opposite side of where the monster tide was attacking, so it was impossible for the monsters to come out from there. In this regard, their only option was to climb the wall which was only possible if they found out their whereabouts.

However, even with the difficulty to locate the place, the possibility that the monsters could trace them was still there. Some monsters had an exceptional smelling ability, so the chances that some of them could smell their whereabouts were quite high.

Fortunately, one of Mr. Klaus’ men was a great scout. He was good at erasing their traces. It was typical for Klaus to ask for help from the guilds every time he would travel to deliver supplies to different cities or towns in the empire because the road was very dangerous, especially for those like him.

The equipment he delivers was very attractive to most of the bandits. Klaus didn’t really need to come along with his people to deliver them, but there were some occasions when he had to... just like this time.

After finding a spot to rest, they resumed their postponed conversation.

.....

Presently, they were surrounding the blazing fire where there was a pot hanging over it. Around the fire, could be seen some meat jerky and sausages lining up as the fire slowly cooks them.

Based on what Rossbert said earlier, Zennie learned about the identity of Mr. Klaus. Also, from Klaus’ story, Zennie found out the reason for their coming to Merc Town.

Klaus told them that his smithing shop was one of the suppliers of weapons and other equipment to several shops here in Merc Town. This was also the main reason why they came here this time.

After Klaus’ explanation, it was now his turn to ask Zennie about their trip to the city. Rothsport Town was very far from Merc Town, so it was hard to imagine what their reason for coming here was. The products in the Merc Town were just very similar to the products in other cities they have passed through. The only difference between this place from other places was the Mercenary Guild. Perhaps they came here to ask for the mercenary guild’s help.

However, to Klaus’s knowledge, the bandits never attacked Rothsport Town because of its difficulty to invade. The city was located between the sea and the river. Then, only the western and eastern gates were the entrance and exit. Those gates were connected by long bridges. In this formation of the area, it would be difficult for any group of bandits to invade the city without being discovered.

In this case, it’s easy to think that Zennie’s reason for coming to Merc Town wasn’t because of the Mercenary Guild. If so ... then what? Klaus asked in mind.

Regardless, there were also sea monsters or any ferocious beast that could attack the town, so the Mercenary Guild was still not out of the option. Just that, if they really wanted help from a guild to get rid of monsters or beasts, they could hire some assassins in the Assassin Guild or any other guilds which were located in the places before this town. That’s why it was still vague that their reason for coming to this place was the Mercenary Guild.

Zennie didn’t answer right away. She first accepted the cup filled with hot tea from Lizz. She slowly brought the cup towards her mouth. A moment later, *Slurp!* A warmth entered her body. After taking a small sip, she slowly opened her mouth. “Last week, a strange disease attacked the whole city. Many of the people were affected. Although the condition of the patients is not that bad, the disease spread quickly and caused the supply of medicine in our city to run out.”

“Ah I see... so your reason for coming here is because of medicines?” Klaus easily deducted.

“Yes, Mr. Klaus. But every place we’ve been is out of stock. Even the capital city is running out of supply. Even in the merchant guild they only sold a few. What happened in other cities was worse because the people started to panic,” Zennie explained.

When he heard what Zennie said, Klaus replied with a frown. “Is that so?” He said. Zennie took another sip of tea before nodding in response. Her expression was solemn.

“I didn’t know that the situation was so bad elsewhere...” Klaus fell silent for a moment as if remembering something. “Hm... so that’s why the atmosphere is a bit different in the places we passed. So that’s the reason... ”

In response, Zennie silently nodded her head.

Klaus made a gesture of thinking. “Hmn... medicine, huh... Wait!” Then he suddenly bumped his fist against his palm. Zennie and the others were quite surprised at his gesture. Klaus then continued saying, “Right! I think I know of someone that I think can help you.”

Zennie, Rossbert, and the rest of their crew widened their eyes upon hearing him.

...

When the night came, Klaus and Zennie’s group remained in the warehouse. Rossbert suggested to Zennie and the others to let the day pass because the road was too dangerous for them to continue. There was a high possibility the monsters were already scattered in different parts of the city.

The attack of the monsters continued. The empire knights and mages who were in the town when the monster tide occurred were still trying to defend the town.

Although they were able to create a defense line to prevent the increasing number of monsters within the town, it was still not enough to stop the monsters. Add to that the seemingly endless increase in their numbers. Also, since they were understaffed, they had no way to repel them.

The Mercenary Guild already made a move and helped in repelling the monster tide. However, since most of the Imperial Soldiers were already battling the monster tide for the whole day, fatigue took over them and lowered their fighting capability.

At that moment, while the battle continued, an old man came out of what seemed like a dimensional gate. In his hand was a weapon with a wooden shaft and at the end of it, there was something that seemed like a crystal.

The old man was overlooking the whole town from a mountain slope. From his position, he could see the situation of the town.

The old man raised his weapon which was commonly known as Staff. The crystal on it shone brightly.
