Chapter 44 - Evacuation

The beacon in the tannen tower is to indicate a warning for this city and the surrounding country, the beacon at the top of the tower is to make the surrounding city knows that we are getting attacked by the flood. The beacon is only lighted up if only there is a flood, one beacon means that the city is getting attacked and can still handle it, two means the city need help, but it's not too urgent, but if there are 3 beacons that have been ignited that mean the city needs immediate help and there's a possibility that the city will be destroyed by the flood of the monster if there are no troops that save them.

The other city is really far away, but how can the beacon reach the surrounding city if the distance is so far away? The answer is in the northeast from here and northwest from here there is a little fort, in that fort, there are spare troops and the advanced troops for this city. If the fort on the northeast and northwest see our beacon has been lighted, they will be lighted up their beacon, it's like a relay race they lighted up all the beacon until it gets to the biggest and nearest city that ruled by some noble to find help. With this, that city will notify the country that Conrad city requires help.

And For the troops means is the troops from the surrounding nation. If they see the beacon is been lighted up they must answer it immediately. There will be a severe punishment if the surrounding nation didn't give help. Conrad city has been protected by the pact of all nations in this continent, the city must be protected by join nation. Conrad city is a frontline for fighting the flood of the monster in the red zone forest, that's why this city can't fall. If this city falls the monster in the red zone, and the flood will attack the surrounding city next.

Back to the Guild building

"I want all of the adventures in this city help the citizen to evacuate to the second wall, after you help evacuate all the adventure will gather in the town hall. No exception, even if that adventure is low ranked or high ranked we need more people to protect this city. Agata, I want you to tell the captain of the guard of this city to prepare all the weapon, all of it, we need everything we need to stop that monster and for the time…. Alcott in your calculation when will that monster reach this town?"

Rudy from earlier who gave an order to all the adventure in present then asked Alcott.

"Roughly they will come in tomorrow morning if I'm not wrong…"

"Then that means we must be prepared before that monster attack… You all, did you hear it? If you hear it then get ready and moved your ass RIGHT NOW!!"

""""Okay, guild master"""""

Say all of the adventure at the lobby in the unison. All of the adventure moves immediately, they are going in all four directions. And in the blink of an eye, there is no adventure in the lobby, there is only me, jade, arsya, rudy, Agata and his party, Alcott, and some of the staff guild. All the adventure begins to do the work assigned by rudy.

There is a rule for this city that has been agreed by the nation in the Ethereal continent. That if there is a flood of monsters the one in the charge of the safety of this city and the citizen is held by the guild master. The guild master must ensure safety and must make a decision to save the city and citizens. The governor in this city has passive work since their job is to make the profit and calculation to the Join pact country, they didn't have any such authority in the army and adventure, they're the people that send as representative for the bureaucrat purpose. That is why all the people will hear any order of the guild master if there's a flood of monsters, to ensure their safety.

"Arsya, I want you and some of our subordinate look at the situation in the forest, when you back meet me at the bureaucrat office I will have a meeting with the governor and the official in there"

"I understand, I will go now"

Arsya answers it immediately.

"and please protect our house okay?"

Rudy then adds some order to arsya, well, it's not an order is more like their responsibilities as the parent? Since they have the kids in the house.

"You don't need to worry about it"

Arsya then answers, she looks pleased.

"Then guild master I will go to notify the captain, but… why are jade and Galen is still in here?"

Agata is confused. All of the adventures have given the task to evacuate all the citizen but I and jade are still in here we didn't move an inch from our place.

"I'm here to guard Sir Alcott, I know that you are the one who must protect him… but your power is needed in the city. as for master jade I will take a turn with her to guard Sir Alcott"

Without any order from Rudy I made a decision, I know that there will be objections if I didn't help the evacuation but have my own reason for didn't help them.

"Then Jade and… um… Galen, right? I leave it to you"

Rudy then acts as he didn't know me. he pretends to give me the order to guard Alcott, in fact, he only made an order to me to escape from Agata's questioning.

"Well, if you want to protect it, the guild master already gives an okay… I will leave now."

Agata and his party then leave from the guild lobby leaving all of us.

Now then for my reason why I didn't help them because I have some question for Alcott in here. Rudy and Arsya after confirming my intention, then they're leaving while give a little bow to me, no one can see it.

I get close to Alcott, he then looked at me. I grab the paper that is written he's written, I read what is written in it in my head and thinking.

'What the hell happened 5000 years ago, Andrian? What happened in that war?'

I didn't know the detail, but if that beast is already existed since 5000 years ago and Andrian can't kill it, even until he gave the warning like this… that means, that beast is can't let it be free…

When I'm in the deep of my mind thinking and looked at the ancient language, Alcott saw me with a confused look. He then asks me something

"Galen… can you read it?"

I realized when Alcott calls my name.

"Ah… no, there's no way I can read it. I just thinking about what you said earlier… it's as if this beast is the source of the disaster…."

"You think so?"

Alcott then asked me

"Yes, the one who seals this beast even gave a warning like this… I'm sure the person who seals it know how dangerous is this beast."

"Yeah… it was my mistake to go to that ruin. If the other nation hears that I and my team are the ones who open the seal they will sure make my country have a compensation…"

"Yeah… true…"

I'm in the agreement with Alcott. The one who opens the gate in that ruin is from Arugos kingdom researcher if the other nation hears about it, I'm sure they will be put the blame for this flood of monsters. And unfortunately, they can't hide the proof. The guild master is the one who gave them permission with a written signatory with this, they can't cover this incident. The guild can't be the one who takes the blame, the permission itself is just for the formality so that the guild know what are they doing, the guild just wants to confirm their intention. The punishment for Arugos kingdom can be lightened if the city is survived from this flood. Well, it's something that they must think after clearing the flood first.

"Oh, by the way, Sir Alcott, before you said that you and Irvin are separated right?"

The one who asked the question is jade.

Now that jade said it, I remember that Alcott said that he's separated, Irvin.

"Yeah, I separated with him when he tried to lure down that beast and when Irvin got back there's already a wound in his stomach, he is have been pierced…"

"Is that the beast the one who pierced him?"

"Mmmmm, I don't know…"

"What do you mean by you didn't know?"

Me and jade frowning our forehead.

"The wound is too small. The beast's hand is so big I doubt he uses something that small to pierced his body, but it will be different if that beast uses magic…"

"So you mean there's another monster who attack him when he tried to lure that beast into the calamity beast near your place?"

"Yeah, it looks like he is careless and got attacked"

"I see..."

More or less now I understand why Irvin gets that wound. He is a capable soldier if I must say when the first time I see him in that ruin I believe he can keep up with jade, but sure, jade will win if it compares by the power, jade is stronger than him.

"Then Sir Alcott I believe it's time for you to go to the meeting with the official of this city"

"Yes, you're right, let's go then"

Alcott is the only witness that alive when he sees that beast, he will be interrogated in that meeting. And to avoid anything unpleasant the two of us are the ones who become his guard.

The three of us then go to the meeting with the official. We go to the bureaucrat building in this city, in there Rudy and the governor and all the official already waiting for Alcott, they must hear the explanation from Alcott himself to judge the punishment for Arugos kingdom since the team of a researcher that they send is the one who brings this disaster. On our way I see the people have been evacuated by the adventure and the guard to the second wall, the atmosphere is quite hectic, but they can handle it skillfully. The people in this city don't look that panicked, they follow the direction that gives to them without any complaint. The people in this city maybe already get used to the flood, that's why they follow the direction of adventure and the guard. They have the trust in the adventure and the guard, they believe that this city will be saved. The based on their trust is, the city is still standing until now even though this city occasionally gets attacked by the flood the city always survives.
