Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, another half year has passed.
As time goes by, Janice's belly has grown bigger.
Rennes spends every day with his wife, playing with their child.
They live a leisurely and carefree life.
However...
This peaceful life was soon disrupted.
Today at noon...
A hunter accidentally discovered the lair of an advanced demon beast, the Flame Tiger, in the forest east of Eagle Village.
After the news spread, the entire village was filled with anxiety.
After all...
On the Roland Continent, it is not uncommon for demon beasts to destroy villages.
Everyone is afraid that the Flame Tiger will attack the village and prey on humans.
This panic has greatly affected the operation and production of Eagle Village.
"We must resolve this matter as soon as possible."
Upon learning this, Rennes immediately made up his mind.
He must eliminate this advanced demon beast that has settled near Eagle Village.
The village is at constant risk of being attacked by demon beasts.
There is no security.
Merchants are afraid to come and do business.
The villagers may also flee.
He doesn't want the family's hard-developed territory to become desolate because of this demon beast.
The only thing he can do is to kill this Flame Tiger.
Minimize the negative impact of this matter.
However...
Killing this Flame Tiger is obviously not a simple task.
As a fire attribute advanced demon beast, the Flame Tiger possesses numerous fire-based magic and formidable melee combat abilities.
Its combat power is extremely strong.
Once it reaches adulthood, its strength is comparable to that of a high-level knight (7th rank).

With Rennes' 6th rank strength...
Even if he masters a highly destructive 5-star combat technique, it is difficult to defeat this Flame Tiger alone.
Even if he can win, it will most likely be a Pyrrhic victory with both sides suffering heavy losses.
"It seems like I need to find some helpers."
Rennes' eyes sparkled, and he immediately took action.
He instructed the butler to go to the Adventurer's Guild and post the relevant mission.
To ensure that the mission was accepted as soon as possible, he directly offered a high reward of five thousand gold coins for this extermination mission.
Interests can be enticing.
It has to be said.
This move was very effective.
In less than two days, a small adventurer team called "Purple Lilac" took on this mission.
Upon hearing this good news, Rennes promptly received these adventurers at his own estate.
Habbs Manor, reception room.
"Greetings, Lord Baron!"
Upon seeing Rennes, all members of the adventurer team stood up.
Although their strength was quite impressive.
But their status was ultimately that of ordinary commoners.
When facing nobles, it was necessary to maintain a certain level of respect.
"You don't need to be so formal."
Rennes waved his hand.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries.
Rennes gained a basic understanding of this adventurer team.
The captain was a graceful and heroic half-elf woman named Freya, strength: 6th rank, profession: magic archer.
The vice-captain was a muscular woman named Ada, strength: 6th rank, profession: shield warrior.
The other three members were also women.
One warrior, one healer, and one hunter, all with only 5th rank strength.
It had to be said that this all-female adventurer team was very powerful.
The combination of professions was also very reasonable.
Scouting, frontline, melee, ranged, and healing were all covered.
With such an adventurer team to help, Rennes was full of confidence in exterminating the Flame Tiger.
He discussed the mission details with these adventurers.
Rennes then had the butler take them downstairs to rest.
It was getting late today.

The sun was about to set.
Venturing deep into the dense forest at this time was too dangerous.
The visibility was dim, and it was difficult to see anything clearly.
It would be better to set out to subdue the fierce fire tiger tomorrow morning.
Settle the adventurers who have come from afar.
Rennes returned to his room.
On the other hand.
In the guest rooms arranged by Rennes.
Frena and the others were discussing their experiences today.
"That Baron Rennes is going to join us in subduing the fierce fire tiger tomorrow. I wonder how strong he is. Hopefully, he won't hold us back," said the female warrior Kara.
"This Baron Rennes seems delicate and pampered. It looks like he's not very capable," Vice Captain Ada bluntly spoke.
"We should all be mentally prepared."
"When we go to subdue the fierce fire tiger tomorrow, remember to protect the safety of this employer."
Captain Frena said calmly.
Take people's money and help them solve their problems.
Since they have taken on this well-paying task, they naturally have to meet the employer's needs.
She had long been mentally prepared.
After reaching a consensus.
The five women discussed how to protect the employer tomorrow.
Then, they each returned to their rooms to rest.
...
The next day.
Early morning.
Rennes and the members of the Lilac Flower Squad finished washing up.
They were ready to go.
After everything was prepared.
Guided by the hunter who discovered the lair of the fierce fire tiger.
Rennes and the Lilac Flower Adventure Squad walked towards the forest to the east of Eagle Village.
After entering the dense forest.
Everyone's expressions became noticeably alert.
Especially the members of the Lilac Flower Adventure Squad, who immediately formed a formation.
As the vice captain and shield warrior, Ada walked at the front, carrying a huge shield to pave the way.
The female hunter and female healer were in the middle.
And as the captain of the remote output, Freya walked at the back with the female warriors, following behind Rennes.

That's how they walked for twenty minutes.
Deep into the dense forest, ten kilometers in, Rennes and the others quickly discovered the traces of the Flame Tiger.
Trees burned to ashes.
On the ground, strands of hair that resembled flames.
All signs indicated that the area ahead was where the Flame Tiger frequently roamed.
And the words of the guide also confirmed this.
The den of the Flame Tiger was in a small hollow ahead.
"Everyone, be prepared for battle at all times."
Stepping into the territory of the Flame Tiger, Freya tightly gripped her bow and arrow, reminding everyone.
After all,
The Flame Tiger was no ordinary monster.
It was extremely powerful.
If not dealt with carefully, it could cost them their lives.
She didn't want her employer to be killed by the monster.
And she certainly didn't want any casualties among her teammates who she spent day and night with.
"Understood!"
Understanding Freya's good intentions, everyone raised their vigilance.
They didn't dare to let go of their weapons for a moment.
In case they were caught off guard by the Flame Tiger that could appear at any time.
They walked another kilometer.
Rennes, who had been walking silently, suddenly twitched his ears.
As if sensing something.
His face changed.
He wrapped his left arm around the half-elf girl, Freya, who was beside him, and quickly retreated.
At the same time, he drew his greatsword and unleashed a combat technique.
