Chapter 25 First Wave
It was another peaceful day in the Zion village. The villagers were doing their jobs and the warriors were going through their daily training schedule. Velian was in his house with his mother. Lately, they've been busy so much they haven't been able to go through their morning feeding session or sleep together. Delviny is also been training constantly.
*Sigh
"How busy are you guys now? I wish the monster outbreak finished quickly" Velian said while looking at the village through the window.
"Darling, I know we couldn't sleep together in a long time, we should spend more time," Daphnia said.
Lyra was serving breakfast to us while listening to our conversation while we were talking happily suddenly the bell of the village started to ring.
"Isn't that the signal of a large-scale monster attack? Did that finally start?" Velian asked feeling excited. He jumped from his seat and took a sword from his storage.
"Mother, Let's go and see what's happening maybe they need our help," Velian said.
They quickly equipped our armour and weapons and then quickly ran in the direction of the wall. When they got near the wall there was a huge explosion near the wall.
"What's happening? Did the high-rank monsters come to attack?" Daphnia asked a guard that was supposed to protect the gate.
"Miss Daphnia, I think the monster outbreak has started there are a lot of monsters outside the wall," the guard said while looking at the gate.
"Did you see Asumi or Other Village Chiefs?" Daphnia asked
"Chief Asumi is on the wall fighting monsters, I couldn't see the other chiefs"
"Mother, You should go and help villagers to go to a safe place I will help Aunt Asumi to fight the monsters," Velian said.
"Yes darling I think that's the best thing to do now you can help them with your archery, I don't think my attack magic will help them right now because the monsters are too far from my attack range"
We hugged each other and went to do our assigned tasks. When I reached the top of the wall first thing I did was observe the monsters.
There were many low-ranked monsters while some mid-ranked monsters also were there in small numbers.
"Aunt Asumi, I came to help how is the situation" Velian asked
"Not so bad, I think this is a small wave everything is under control for now"
"I will help you aunt recently I learned some archery too" Velian took an extra bow and some arrows from the storage and aimed at some low-ranked monsters.
*thud
Arrow went straight and pierced the head of a kobold. Velian kept shooting at monsters but he had a major problem. If he used his full strength to draw the bow it will break into two pieces so he had to keep his strength in check.
Like this, the first wave was solved without any major problems and when the signs of the monster attack decreased some warriors went to collect the useful parts of the monsters rather than calling this an attack it can be called farming because we got a lot of furs and useful monster parts.
Luckily nobody was hurt badly so we didn't have many losses in this battle.
"Is everyone alright? Did any of your get injured?" Velian shouted while looking at the warriors.
"No Velian all of them are alright. This attack was very weak to be a real monster outbreak maybe it was just one of the waves" Aunt Asumi said while searching for the other chiefs.
Most of the Village Chiefs were old and couldn't actively participate in the battles but they were a big help in logistics and controlling of the villagers.
"Master Velian, Villagers said the group that was supposed to hunt today didn't return yet. What should we do?" One of the guards came running toward me while I was thinking about all this thing.
"Shit why did it have to happen right now, Aunt Asumi is it okay if we send a search party right now?"
"We will send a search party and tell their family members not to panic too much. We will definitely find them" Aunt Asumi said while looking at the guard who came to deliver the message.
"Aunt, why don't we send them? They've also been itching to do something big after their training," Velian said with a little smile.
"Don't worry Delvi and I will lead them this time to help"
"Velian why do you think I'm not worried about you? You're already like my child so of course, I'm worried about you but I believe you. If not for you most of these villagers might be already dead. I believe you go and help them to find these lost hunters" Aunt Asumi said while hugging me.
Velian hugged her back and went to meet Delvi. Delvi and 7 elites were asking permission to attack the monsters but they were told not to go because it was not a big attack.
"Delhi, I have happy and bad news what do you want to hear first" Velian asked with an excited smile.
"Veli, what happened why do you look so excited?" Delvi asked.
"We are going on our first mission sister, It is time for you guys to shine," Velian said
The faces of Delvi and 7 elites bloomed into a wide smile hearing his words.
"Time has come let's show the results of our training to young master and Sister Delvi" Remi shouted while wearing her armour back.
