Zongman: About my reincarnation as a slime

Chapter 32·Tuka Team’s Discovery

Irezia is a small border town located on the edge of the Eastern Empire. Most of its residents were built here by countries fleeing the war after hearing about the powerful strength of the Eastern Empire.

From a scattered settlement at the beginning, until more and more refugees fled here, it attracted the attention of the Eastern Empire. Later, under the command of people sent by the empire, the city was built bit by bit with the efforts of many refugees. Become.

After decades of living, all residents have regarded this place as their home, raised children and settled down here, and the city began to slowly become prosperous.

Today, Ereziane is as peaceful as ever, with the sounds of children playing, vendors shouting, and crowds talking one after another on the stone-paved streets. From time to time, adventurers wearing armor and holding weapons walk by among the crowd.

Whenever an adventurer walks by, the vendors and people passing by will always greet them enthusiastically. The children who are playing can't help but reveal their big eyes when they see the majestic adventurers. Looks of envy and longing.

Such scenes are happening on every street in the city. For the residents here, this city is their common home that they built brick by brick. Residents can always meet each other because of various things, which makes the residents of this city full of enthusiasm for other people.

Most of the adventurers in the city are originally descendants of the first batch of refugees, so they don't feel as difficult to get along with as other adventurers, and they are full of friendliness towards the residents of the city.

"Hey! Tuka, aren't you going to the sewer today?"

In a tavern outside the Adventurer's Guild, the tavern owner who was doing nothing suddenly saw Tuka's team walking on the street. He quickly waved to Tuka and joked that for Tuka, this adventurer team who has been insisting on cleaning the sewers, the city Many people have heard of it.

Coupled with Tuka's always steady, responsible and serious attitude, he has become friends with many people in the city, and the tasks they usually assign to Tuka's team are also part of their main tasks besides cleaning the sewers. income.

"I won't clean the sewers today. I will take over Miss Lysa's task of repairing the damage to the house."

When Tuka heard someone calling his name, he turned around and found the owner of the tavern not far away waving at him. He nodded with a smile and told him today's mission. Originally, Tuka had gone to the tavern today because of Keith's complaint not long ago. I plan to take on a less difficult expedition mission outside the city.

But the strange thing is that something seems to have happened in the Adventurer's Guild today. Not only are most of the staff away, but even all the tasks outside the city have been cancelled, leaving only tasks issued by residents in the city.

For this reason, Tuka was curious and asked the young lady at the counter. He heard that the city lord had something to do and summoned the Adventurer's Guild and all the people belonging to the empire in the city to leave the city early in the morning.

And before leaving, he told those who stayed behind that he had canceled all tasks outside the city, saying that he would solve the problems outside the city by tomorrow at the latest, and then open up tasks outside the city.

Although the people who stayed behind felt a little strange about this, they didn't think much about it. After all, they had heard about many small towns on the edge of the empire being destroyed by monsters, so they all speculated after the city lord left. Some powerful monster appears nearby.

For the safety of the entire city, the city lord summoned everyone to attack.

As for whether the city lord will escape, no one who knows this will have such an idea. You must know that when the city lord was sent to unite the refugees, he personally hunted monsters and wild beasts for them as food, and During the construction of the city, he personally worked with the workers and guarded everyone's safety at night.The city was named after the city lord because he was grateful for everything he had done, and after the city was built, the residents here were able to live and work in peace and contentment because of the leadership of the city lord.

It can be said that the city lord of Iregia is respected and supported by all residents, and many residents even regard the city lord as their own faith.

As for Tuka, after learning about this incident, he didn't pay much attention to it. He even worried about the city lord and those who were leaving for a while. Then he randomly picked up a task from the task bar and led the team to start today's work.

"Captain, something is wrong!"

Suddenly, Keith's voice interrupted Tuka who was reminiscing, and Tuka, who came back to his senses, also discovered that something was wrong around him. Although this place was close to the wealthy area of ​​the city, although it was usually quiet, it was definitely It won't be as quiet and eerie as it is now.

"Gorton!"

"clear."

Without Tuka saying anything, the long-term tacit understanding had already allowed Gordon to understand Tuka's meaning with just one look. He carefully took out the poisonous dagger, jumped up the wall nimbly, and then He jumped to the highest roof nearby without even a single extra movement.

"Kes, you protect Nina. If something goes wrong later, you, Kes, can take Nina and flee in the direction of the Adventurer's Guild."

After saying that, Tuka took the brand new shield behind his back in his hand. Compared with the previous round shield made of iron and wood, Tuka now has a shield that is half a meter wide and nearly as tall as a person. The whole shield is made of Made of stainless steel.

Although it is a lot heavier, it gives Tuka an unparalleled sense of security. With his skilled shield skills, even ordinary monsters (intermediate monsters) that have just become D-level can die before he falls. It was with this shield that Tuka had the confidence to lead Case and the others out of the city to defeat the monsters.

Snapped!
"Tuka, there's no one around, everyone's gone."

Suddenly, Gordon's figure fell next to Tuka. With a solemn expression, he told several companions everything he saw. Currently, their location in the entire rich area was empty, and according to Gordon's observation, Many of the houses are already empty. It can be seen that the owners who left did not leave on a temporary basis, but had already prepared for it.

The owners of the clean houses were without exception all employees of the empire, that is, the managers of the city. Apart from these houses, the remaining few houses were in a mess, and there were blood stains in the rooms.

"Something's wrong, everything is wrong, there must be something going on that we don't know about!"

At this moment, Tuka's face became extremely ugly, and a layer of fog-like shadow shrouded his heart. Looking at the empty rich area in front of him, Tuka's inner uneasiness became more and more solemn, as if he was in front of him. The rich area is like a monster, with its mouth wide open waiting to swallow everything.
