I'M THE NECROMANCER KING
Chapter 104: He's a Master
Rows of soldiers had been on standby outside the gates with full-clothed attributes, and some cavalry had been deployed in the small military operation. Being in the front row, a man wearing a black armor-clad stellan - contrasted to the one worn by the soldiers - was silent on his mount. With an unrelenting face the man looked towards the distance came the mysterious figure with a black hood, which was moving closer and closer towards him.
When the two wall guards who had previously returned from reporting looked over from the top of the tower, the two of them momentarily looked at each other and fell into deep thought. The two wondered, who exactly is he? Is it that important to have to deploy a number of elite soldiers to stand guard outside the gate?
Actually, he's strong?
"Chairman, did you know from the beginning that the man was a master?" said one of the tower guards, glancing towards the head of the surveillance wall leader who was standing not far from him.
"No." The bearded man chuckled while stroking his beard like an elder, even though his age was only around fifty years.
"Huh?"
The two guards gawked and ran out of words.
"Just my gut feeling," said the head of the wall guard continuing his words. Then he smiled as he watched the black-robed figure.
Please note, the kingdom is currently experiencing a prolonged crisis due to an outbreak of disease. People are certainly preoccupied with various things, including the military must have many arrangements to do. Actually, many areas of the kingdom are experiencing unrest due to the protests of the citizens against the performance of the kingdom in addressing the outbreak of this disease. Until now even the upper echelon of the kingdom still has not found a solution and the right middle way of this problem. This again caused panic among the residents.
The role of the soldiers here is to restrain and try to calm the residents. Therefore the royal soldiers have been deployed and now scattered in various regions of the kingdom. Which meant that the number of soldiers in the royal capital had been significantly reduced. It actually did not have much even more than three thousand soldiers.
They are not only forbidden to leave their respective settlements, but also must not go to the capital of this kingdom. Not without reason, the instruction had been carefully thought out as a step to break the chain of spread. And also to protect the safety of the royal family and the upper echelons within the royal capital.
"Prince, here you already have a reliable wall guard leader, but why do you still want to trouble this old granny?" The grandmother said in a relaxed tone, there was actually no trace of displeasure instead of smiling faintly at the man.
"Right is what the head of the wall is hunching. He is a powerful master, I can see where the spirit of nature accumulates in him in such a huge amount. At least that person had a red-colored badge on hand. I'm afraid in this kingdom there are even only two people who can match him. Please Prince not to provoke this master."
"Isn't he just a red-plagued adventurer? Why does it look so strong? Didn't the royal party have a dozen adventurers with red plans? What did the elder mean to say that only two people could match him?" said the man while raising his eyebrows in half.
"Yes, this granny is very confident that only Master Guan and Miss Yu can. It was just that, as the Prince knew, Master Guan and Miss Yu were not in the royal capital. Thus it would be very difficult later on if the royal party had to deal with this master." After speaking his words, the grandmother walked back to the back row with the help of a young woman.
"What did Grandma say to the Prince earlier?" While walking leading the grandmother, the woman asked with her pretentious manner. "Miss, can you tell me?"
This grandmother was an elder of the previous king's former adviser. A person who has the ability to calculate how much nature spirit is accumulated in a person. Thus, he could judge how strong one was just by looking at it alone.
"See this boy...." The grandmother coughed and cut her words. "Aren't you enough to drag a grandmother away this far? Ah, my back.. quickly take me away to rest!"
The woman with a shy face helped the grandmother back inside. He really did not dare to speak anymore. Because, this was purely his fault for bringing the old grandmother in distress, when he had even retired from his job. Previously, just because of the grandmother's ability to judge, the woman along with the prince came and begged the grandmother's willingness.
"All right, this time. It's in return to your father for helping me once. Else, I won't help even if it's the king himself who asks." So said the grandmother before, who was finally willing to come with the woman and the prince to look out the wall.
