Somewhere inside the city was a room with a group of people having a meeting while sitting around a round table. Suddenly the man that interrogated Lucifer ran into the room with a pale expression. "My Lord! I have urgent news about the demons!" the frightened man yelled.
"What!?" the man sitting in the largest chair yelled.
The other men around the table all had shocked expressions upon hearing this.
"Demons are here?!" some of the men sitting around the table murmured.
"Hire a courier and inform his majesty at once!" the lord yelled at a nearby guard.
.....
A few days pa.s.s and in the middle of an open area outside the city, two people were sparring. One of the men was in a black robe while the other was in a bright red robe. The man in the red robe had a slight advantage over the person in the black robe due to experience and technique but the man in the black robe made up for this weakness with strength.
Then suddenly the man in the red robes through a faint and instead struck at his opponent"s legs.
The man in the black robes wasn"t able to defend and fell down to the ground.
"Your loss," Kir said to me.
Kir helps me up and says "Your getting better, at first you could not even defend against my strikes but now you can defend against most of my attacks."
I couldn"t help but think back to the ally where I saw that woman murdered. What was that creature?
I put that question behind me and asked if Kir wanted to join me on a subjugation quest from the guild that interested me.
"What"s interesting about the quest?" Kir asked me.
"This quest is about eliminating a tribe of forest trolls."
"Trolls?" Kir asked me with a confused expression.
"Trolls are large humanoids that have high regeneration and are natural warriors, but they have very low intelligence," I told Kir.
"Why not, they sound like perfect practice dummies," Kir said with a smile.
...
We left this morning and it took us more than 4 hours to reach the location of the forest troll tribe.
When we reached the cave the tribe lived in we noticed that a group of trolls were just returning and entered into the cave.
The trolls had a height of over 8 feet and they were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with muscles! Kir and I were going to enjoy this fight! But, for now, we decided to observe them so we can find out their numbers, strengths, weaknesses, and even the way they fight.
....
We observed them for two days and we found out very little information about these trolls.
It appears they use a single hunting group so we have yet to see any other trolls and unluckily for us, the trolls caught very weak prey so we could barely even see them fight.
And that"s why during the night of the second day of observing them we decided to attack instead of wasting more time with observing.
