After Maxing out all Classes

Chapter 921: We Want to Fight the Monster

The two young girls had Robb behind them for support, and they were truly fearless. Although the kindly sentinel advised against it, the two girls smiled and said, Anyway, were going to deal with the big monster! They turned around and called out to their father, Dad, lets sail the ship out again, lure that big monster out, and kill it. Lets see just how formidable it really is.

The two ship captains secretly glanced at Robb. Seeing him nod in agreement, they had no objections and said, Alright, lets set sail then. Its just a monster after all.

Hey! The sentinel was sweating. Dont do this, young ladies! Why court danger?

Just then, a group of people suddenly appeared by the side of the dock, not far from Robb and the others ship.

Robb turned his head and saw that they were soldiers from the the Kingdom of Grans military!

Back then, Robb hardly recognized any family crests or emblems, but after so many years of wandering around and participating in several major battles, he had come to recognize the emblems of the seven major armies of the Kingdom of Gran. All he needed to see was the wave crest on their shoulder armor to know they belonged to the Trembling Ice Knights. Of course, the elite soldiers who knew or knew of Robb were still in the Jinghong Mountains; these were just the garrison leftovers.

After the knights assembled on the dock, a group of ship captains and crew who had been idly milling about also gathered around. These captains and crew members had clearly been stuck in this harbor for quite some time. Some were sea traders, some were fishermen, all relying on going out to sea to make a living. The presence of the monster had evidently brought them considerable difficulties.

Seeing the arrival of the Trembling Ice Knights, they immediately gathered around with hopeful expressions on their faces.

A middle-aged man in magician robes, who looked poised and composed, stepped forward from the knight group and addressed the onlookers, Everyone, dont worry. After careful study, our Trembling Ice Knights has come up with a plan to deal with the monster.

The onlookers immediately became overjoyed, and many of them clapped enthusiastically.

When the applause died down, the middle-aged man continued, If you look behind me, youll see three hundred of our finest warriors. Were about to board a specially modified warship. All of the warriors will stay hidden in the cabins, not showing themselves. Only a few sailors dressed in ordinary clothes will be on the deck, pretending to be regular sailors. This way, the monster will definitely attack us with more confidence. When the hidden warriors spring into action, theyll kill the monster.

The applause grew even more fervent at this announcement.

Robb, however, was a bit curious and couldnt help whispering, Wasnt the Trembling Ice Knights main force supposed to be headed to the Jinghong Mountains? How are they able to summon three hundred elite warriors here?

The two young girls whispered to each other, Im afraid they just hired three hundred mercenaries from anywhere and forcibly claimed theyre the elite of the Trembling Ice Knights.

Robb:

That possibility wasnt small!

Of course, although this move was a bit ridiculous, it was at least better than ignoring the situation completely. Robb felt mentally obligated to give these people a little boost.

The leading middle-aged magician waved his hand, and the three hundred elites began boarding the ship. Their prepared warship was not far from Robb and their armed merchant ship. The formation of the three hundred elites boarding the ship was quite impressive.

Just then, the sentinel who had been joking around with Robb jumped off the ship and hurried over to the middle-aged magician. He saluted before him and then gestured towards the ship where Robb was, talking animatedly. The middle-aged man immediately turned to look, his eyes widening, especially as he looked at the two young girls.

Robb could guess what they were discussing!

Soon, the middle-aged man walked over, standing on the dock below the ship. He looked up and said loudly to the two young girls, Young ladies! Ive understood your determination to contribute to the kingdom, and I appreciate your willingness to serve the Kingdom of Gran. However, we should also recognize our own vulnerability and the ferocity of the monster. We shouldnt act recklessly and do things that defy common sense. Doing so will only cause grief to our loved ones and fill the monsters belly.

The two young girls stuck out their tongues, whispering, This person is really eloquent.

Robb chuckled, Those who can fight have gone to the Jinghong Mountains to exterminate monsters. Whats left here are bureaucrats, and bureaucrats can definitely talk. Theyre neither exaggerating nor downplaying. Anyone who plays with a pen is good at boasting.

The middle-aged man waved to the two young girls, In any case, please dont follow along! Dont follow, alright?

After saying that, he boarded the nearby warship. The three hundred elites who had just boarded the ship all went into the hold, leaving only a few people dressed in plain clothes who looked like ordinary sailors on the deck. Then, the large ship slowly started up and left the harbor.

The lips of the two young girls pouted, Godfather, theyre taking our monster to fight. We finally had a chance to play a monster-fighting game, and they stole the opportunity.

Robb laughed, Dont talk nonsense. They originally spotted the monster first. Its you who wanted to snatch their monster to fight.

The young girl pouted, but they knew Robb had a point.

Seeing the pitiful look on the young girls faces, Robb smiled, Alright, heres the deal. Lets follow along and watch the spectacle. If they can defeat the monster, well be the audience, giving them a round of applause. If they fail, then you two can take action, alright?

Okay, okay! The two young girls vigorously nodded.

Robb chuckled, Alright, thats settled then. On another note, even if I give you the blessing of the king, you still need some skills of your own to deal with the monster. What exactly do you know?

The two young girls raised their hands, Basic Dark Magic!

What else?

Thats it!

Robb:

Basic Dark Magic, similar to Basic Holy Magic, focuses on healing, support, and the dirty aspects. Theres basically no direct attack magic, only a spell called Shadow WordPain, which isnt a direct damage spell but more of a continuous damage-over-time (Dot) spell. (Dot spells are like poison they hang over the enemys head and continuously drain their health.)

Robb was speechless for a moment, Hey! Even if I give you the blessing of the king, are you planning to deal with the big monster by just casting Shadow WordPain on it?

The two young girls: Yeah, yeah!

Come on, be serious! Give me a break.

The two young girls started to act coquettishly, Then, can you give us some other means of attack?

Robb sighed, Forget it, let me take a look!

He rummaged through the pile of miscellaneous items he had caught while fishing over the past few days, Oh, here it is Intermediate Firearms Training Manual.
