Chapter 436 Slaughter

The expected boot finally dropped after await

Greem's contract of service with the Sarubo Clan was for a hundred years He was now in his tenth year of service, and his protection period as a newly advanced adept had finally worn off He was now an official adept of the clan, and as such the clan's compulsory missions quickly arrived

Just like Meryl had leaked to him, Greem would be sent to Gilneas, the closest city to the area of conflict There was a Sarubo h-quality azure moonstones and noble topaz

Of course, one of the clan's Second Class resource sites was also nearby That was one of the targets of protection for the stationed adept

According to past conventions, Greem, as the stationed adept sent by the clan, would have to ensure the safety of these two places Another specialized group of pseudo-adepts and advanced apprentices would be responsible for their daily production Greeuard those locations

However, if the resource site and mine faced a severe problem that the apprentices couldn't handle, Greem, as the stationed adept, would have to come out to expel or murder those adept-level opponents that had threatened the collection of resources

Therefore, Greem would usually be able to enjoy his days within the lively and bustling city of Gilneas The everyday troubles would be dealt with by the apprentices in charge of security They would only ask hi with adept-level opponents

That hy adepts often considered station missions like this an enjoyable errand, apart from the relative lack of freedom

After all, the ers and local nobles near the resource sites would try their best to entertain a stationed adept like Greee in pools of wine and forests of carnal pleasure on a daily basis Every so often, the supervisors of the resource sites and s of additional resources These were unspoken rules and were considered part of the basic welfare of the stationed adept

However, all of these hat happened usually; the current circuo, the apprentice captain of Iron Ring Mine, a pseudo-adept by the name of Sak, had a confrontation with a pseudo-adept of the Aki Clan when he went out collecting resources Sak had 'accidentally' killed his opponent

This incident set off all the accurievances between the Sarubo and the Aki!

Of course, the leaders of both clans would have started secret communications away fro eance,' 'coiven Sanazar's temper, how could she easily cave-in to the Aki's conditions to hand over Sak and compensate them with resources?

This forward area of the clan's turned into a powder keg while the two clans argued It was likely going to be the target of the Aki's revenge

Even though the Zhentarim Association strictly forbade murder between adepts, the elders of the Association illing to turn a blind eye if soood excuse to commit murder They wouldn't so readily interfere in the affairs between two adept clans

Given the tense situation near Gilneas City, they needed a great cos Greened here

The Sarubo Clan only gave Greem twenty days to prepare

If Greem still hadn't arrived in Gilneas City after twenty days, the en, would have to co for him for a 'heart-to-heart talk'

The subject of the safety of Greeht up

The Sarubo Clan territory was so vast, yet Greem had still chosen a primal piece of the Black Forest as the site of his tower This action had caused dissatisfaction aher-ups of the clan The co of sorts

An ordinary adept would usually have two to three options for their compulsory mission They could freely choose the task they preferred based on their liking and schedule

These station missions usually took two years to coe their own ti three years until the next compulsory mission

Unfortunately, this was a coned to Greeuts to co

After he received the mission orders froements for the internalfor a fairly extended period He would have to discuss and settle the security and internal development of the tower beforehand Moreover, he would have to clear out all the potential threats to the tower before he left!

…………

Gigant Brutelephants were extreical creatures

They continuously patrolled their territory once they decided on it Any dominant lifeforms that entered their area would have to face the mad and relentless attacks of the brutelephant horde

In comparison, weaker lifeforms did not even catch their attention

That hy it was nearly i areas of the brutelephants!
