Afterwards, Nina, severely injured, was brought to the Western Nations. Perhaps because she was rescued by the Crimson Rose Squad, she agreed to temporarily join them, especially after learning about the recent events within the Western Nations, and directly requested to participate in this mission.
“Nina, huh.”
Lu Minghao raised his head to look at Nina across from him, smiled, and then remained silent, gently stroking Sally, who was beside him, constantly stuffing food into her mouth. Seeing Lu Minghao's expression, Sophie didn't say anything more.
After all, Lu Minghao and Sally were just temporary members of their squad, and judging from Nina's instant kill of that demon and her severely injured state, her background was definitely not simple. Therefore, Sophie didn't want Lu Minghao and Sally to know too much about Nina.
“Then Nina, starting from tomorrow, please take care of us.”
As he spoke, Lu Minghao stood up and walked upstairs, followed by Sally, who was holding a chicken leg in one hand, her small mouth full of food. These past few days had been some of the happiest days for Sally since she had memories, because she had all kinds of food to eat as she pleased, and in unlimited quantities.
At the table, Nina expressionlessly raised the water glass in front of her and took a sip, her dark pupils silently watching Lu Minghao and Sally's departing figures. She had sensed something was wrong the first time she saw Lu Minghao and Sally.
But Nina didn't care about it. For her, the most important thing was revenge. Nina didn't care about anything else, including the so-called Crimson Rose Squad.
The reason she stayed with this squad was only because she was injured while being chased by soldiers from the Eastern Empire, and had no choice but to stay by their side. As for thanking them for saving her, Nina didn't have such thoughts at all, because she had already paid them the first time they met.
If it weren't for Nina, everyone in the Crimson Rose Squad would have died long ago. Now, Nina was staying here only because of the monsters within the Western Nations. The news she got from Sophie about those monsters made Nina think of the monster that had destroyed everything she had.
Nina now knew that the monster that destroyed her home and killed her captain, teammates, and sister was actually an experiment of the Eastern Empire, and now that similar monsters were appearing in the Western Nations, Nina couldn't help but suspect that the guys from the Eastern Empire had started a new round of experiments in the Western Nations.
As for whether or not this was the case, Nina needed to see and investigate for herself. If everything that happened here had nothing to do with the Eastern Empire, then Nina would leave without hesitation. As for staying to help the Western Nations, Nina had no such thoughts at all.
After all, when their city was used as an experimental site by the Eastern Empire and became the nourishment for the experimental subjects, no one came to save them. At this moment, she was just Nina, a revengeful witch, who had long lost her 'heart'.
All she had was endless anger and despair, living for revenge.
.....
.....
The next day, as the sun rose from the horizon, many fully armed adventurers walked out of the city, and in the open space outside the city, the Adventurers Guild staff were raising their arms to gather all the adventurers around them.
In just over ten minutes, nearly five thousand adventurers had gathered here sparsely, maintaining a loose but cohesive formation among themselves in the form of small teams. And on the periphery of the open space where many adventurers were gathered, a dozen mages scattered around, surrounding the entire open space.
“Group space teleportation, these kingdoms and nobles are really going all out.”
Lu Minghao, mixed in with the Crimson Squad, looked at the mages on the periphery. After obtaining the unique skill [Magic Controller], Lu Minghao could freely use various attribute magic, so he completely understood what these mages wanted to do with just one glance.
Moreover, from the skilled movements and habitual appearance of those mages, it could be guessed that this was not the first time they had done such a thing. It was evident that there were definitely many similar things happening within the entire Western Nations at this time.
However, Lu Minghao knew clearly the reason why those royal families and nobles were willing to go to such lengths. This morning, when the sun rose, three more kingdoms fell under the army of gluttonous monsters.
Moreover, the entire army of gluttonous monsters had multiplied several times compared to a few days ago. Even some of the gluttonous monsters that were born at the beginning had now reached the strength of a Demon Lord species after devouring a lot of nourishment, plus the exposed Flora and their five Demon Lord species.
These kingdoms and nobles had no choice but to be anxious. After all, in just a few days, nearly one-third of the territory of the entire Western Nations had been captured, turning into a gluttonous paradise full of flesh and blood and indescribable monsters.
“It seems that the situation on the front line is not optimistic.”
At this time, Sophie, beside Lu Minghao, also noticed the mages on the periphery, and her face gradually became serious. She had not received any news about using [Group Teleportation] before. It should be known that there were only a handful of mages with this skill in the entire Western Nations.
Each of them could be said to be the treasure of the major kingdoms. After all, having such a mage could take advantage of any war or other things.
“Everyone, be careful, next, we may see true hell!”
On the side, Bella, who was still looking lewd and envious at Lu Minghao in the tavern last night, was now extremely serious. His entire aura began to become faint, and his hands were placed on the hilts of two daggers coated with poison on his waist. He was ready at any time.
“Adventurers, the mission is about to begin, I wish you all a smooth completion of the mission and a safe return. At that time, you will become the heroes of the entire Western Nations!”
Suddenly, an Adventurers Guild staff member standing on a high platform on the periphery shouted to the many adventurers. Although it was just ordinary words, it made the many adventurers present become excited, wishing they could immediately rush to the front line and start slaying those monsters.
Apart from those adventurers who became excited, the rest of them changed their expressions to serious and solemn. The powerful ones were not affected by the magic of the Adventurers Guild staff, and at this time, they also discovered the mages surrounding them and guessed what was about to happen.
“Then, I wish all adventurers will become heroes!”
Just as the Adventurers Guild staff member finished speaking, rays of light lit up from the mages on the periphery, and instantly, a huge magic circle enveloped all the adventurers present. The next second, the light disappeared, and all the adventurers had disappeared from the spot.
On the other side, on the gradually indescribable land of flesh and blood, countless gluttonous monsters surged towards the front like a tide. And at the very front of the many gluttonous monsters, on a normal piece of land, countless human and demon soldiers were frantically fighting with the oncoming gluttonous monsters.
The earth was dyed red, the air was full of blood, screams and roars were constantly sounding, every second a large number of soldiers were torn apart and then eaten by the gluttonous monsters, and also a large number of gluttonous monsters were turned into ashes under various magics.
However, if someone looked down from the sky at this time, they would find that countless gluttonous monsters had gathered into a vast ocean of monsters, and countless gluttonous monsters were pouncing on the defense lines of the major kingdoms like huge waves every moment.
Moreover, a large number of gluttonous monsters crawled out of the earth every moment. Even though the humans and demons of the major kingdoms had tried their best to block and fight, the defense lines were still constantly retreating, and a large number of soldiers became the nourishment for the gluttonous monsters.
“What on earth is this!!”
One kilometer behind the defense lines of the major kingdoms, on a towering city wall, many adventurers who had just appeared were staring blankly at the endless monsters in the distance. Just standing here, the endless army of monsters gave them a feeling.
It was like a person facing the entire sea. At this moment, they were so small and powerless, as if they would be submerged and swallowed at any time.
