What were you doing before the end of the world? Are you going to be an assassin?

In the forest at night.

"The so-called Mobile Fortress Destroyer is a super-large golem. It was originally a weapon built by the magic technology to fight against the Demon King's army."

"This giant golem, which was built with huge amounts of money from the national budget, is as big as a castle. It looks like a spider and uses a large amount of magic metal. It is able to outrun a horse with its eight giant legs, which is much lighter than its appearance..."

Youyou, lying on Connor's back, was as sleepy as a chick pecking at rice, but she had to force herself to stay awake and talk to Connor about the Mobile Fortress Destroyer to fight her sleepiness.

Connor had been running in the forest with Youyou for more than a day and a night, and the three-dimensional mobile device had been released and waited for cooling down.

The journey here took five days, but now the return journey takes less than half the time, and he has almost arrived at the highland castle that he has temporarily occupied.

"What's particularly worth mentioning is its huge body and attack speed. If it's stepped on by its eight limbs with amazing speed, even a large monster will be turned into minced meat. And that body uses the crystallization of Noisy's magic technology, and it can set up a powerful magic barrier at any time, so magic attacks are completely meaningless."

"Magic doesn't work, so I can only rely on physical attacks. But once you get close, you'll be squashed into a meat patty... Meat patties are the most delicious, especially when they're freshly taken out of a warm fireplace. Cat, hehe, I love Nosuke, meow... The Red Devil is broken, and he can run fast. It's Dong Dong Mushroom, where's the awkwardness..."

"Youyou! Youyou, cheer up! You're talking nonsense!"

Youyou's upper and lower eyelids had been fused together, and the beautiful girl was able to walk now only because of her strong willpower. On the path that the big spider had to pass, Youyou placed many magic traps and props, and her own magic power was almost used up three times.

There was no other choice, Connor had to carry the two giant eggs in one hand and support the limp Youyou with the other, and ran the last ten kilometers alone.

That was the distance between Highland Castle and Axel. At the moment, the big spider destroyer behind them might catch up at any time. Connor didn't dare to spend the night outside the city with Youyou. Compared with the broken defense magic of Highland Castle, Axel had complete and powerful defense magic, and the Adventurer Guild could act as scouts. Although Youyou said that Axel's defense was no match for the mobile fortress destroyer, the time difference and the sense of security in the city allowed him and Youyou to have a good rest.

Using [Rebound] all the time is also very tiring psychologically.

"Counter! Counter! I have urgent news!"

Connor, carrying a lot of things and a beautiful girl, kicked open the door of the Adventurer's Guild at night.

At this time, the adventurers had finished their dinner and were having fun in the bar.

Upon seeing the dusty Connor, the adventurers who had experienced the mission of defeating the Demon King's army cadres raised their glasses to him.

“An egg that big must be very satisfying to eat!”

"That's right, it must be the egg of some high-level monster. Didn't he say he was going to the high-level experience area?"

"It seems that he gave Aqua a large sum of money before leaving. He looks like an Axis cultist. Why is he back now, and carrying a... beautiful girl?"

"As expected, this is something that the Axis cultists would do. Should we call the police?"

Connor walked straight to the counter, passing the noisy crowd, and saw the counter lady Luna who looked sleepy.

"What's wrong...Mr. Connor, how can I help you..."

"Northwest, a mobile fortress destroyer appeared northwest of Axel and is heading towards Axel!" Connor interrupted the counter lady and told her about the destroyer he saw.

"Okay, Mobile Fortress Destroyer... I have noted down your situation here. The guild will..." Luna was already sleepy, and became even more unhappy after being interrupted. But when she was about to use a formulaic routine to get away with it, she suddenly realized what Connor said.

"Mobile Fortress Destroyer? Is that really it? Did you see it right?"

Luna raised her voice and repeated it loudly, and now everyone in the Adventurer's Guild Bar could hear it.

The scene suddenly fell into silence.

“Is it the exciting fortress that ravages humans and monsters equally?” an adventurer raised his hand and asked.

"Is the only way to deal with a natural disaster to abandon the town, wait for the destroyer to pass, and then rebuild the city?" asked another adventurer.

"Arrows will be bounced away if they fall on them, slingshots can't hit them at all, and there is also an automatic defense fortress with medium-sized golems for air defense, and various combat golems equipped on their body parts?" asked the third adventurer.

"It's time to send it!" The fourth adventurer expressed everyone's thoughts after getting Connor's accurate answer.

"Based on the distance, the Mobile Fortress Destroyer will arrive in Axel around tomorrow afternoon."

Hearing that there was still one night and one morning left, everyone in the bar felt relaxed for some reason - ah, so there was still some time?

Hula~

The adventurers ran out of the tavern and returned to their bases in Axel.

Luna settled Connor's task as usual, and urged the guild's magicians and monsters such as birds and eagles to establish a shared vision and deploy spies in the direction Connor mentioned. After apologizing, she went straight to the radio that could issue an early warning to the entire city.

Amidst the unsuspecting crowd, Connor brought Yoyo back to the inn.

"Boss, please give us two rooms! They need to be spacious and have private bathrooms with hot water!"

"Two rooms?" The boss looked at Connor like he was a weirdo. Bringing a pretty girl who was unconscious, and asking for two rooms? Wait, is this old enough to call the police?

The boss said calmly: "Business has been booming recently. We only have one room..."

He wanted to delay as much time as possible until the police from the city arrived...

"Destroyer alert! Destroyer alert! The mobile fortress Destroyer is approaching this town. All residents of the town are requested to evacuate immediately—"

Luna's voice interrupted the innkeeper.

"Um... are you still staying here? I need to seek shelter..." The innkeeper knew what the Mobile Fortress Destroyer was, but he still asked for some unknown reason.

"Didn't you say there was only one?"

"If everyone goes to take shelter, there won't be one extra room, right?" the innkeeper said kindly.

"By the way, are Kazuma and the others still here?" After checking into the room and taking the sleepy Yunyun away from the guests who escaped from the inn, Connor asked. He remembered that Aqua had a highlight moment when she faced the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.

"They...that group of freaks moved into the haunted mansion a while ago."

Connor nodded, as long as Aqua was still there.

108. Don’t underestimate the significance of a house

Ignoring the screams that lasted for about an hour in the hotel and the footsteps that lasted for who knows how long on the street, Connor finally got some time to rest. When he woke up, it was already dawn.

I walked downstairs and saw Youyou who got up early on the first floor of the hotel.

For some reason, the other party seemed very nervous.

"Hey! Is anyone here?" Youyou shouted towards the counter, "If there's someone here, just let me know! Isn't it scary when there's no one here? Stop playing pranks!"

It seemed that the beautiful girl was nervous because the hotel was too quiet.

"They may have all gone out to seek refuge, including the boss."

Connor glanced at the change box on the counter; it was empty.

"Seek refuge?" Youyou, who had just woken up, looked confused. It took her a while to realize that they were chased all the way back to Axel by the Mobile Fortress Destroyer.

“Right! Then let’s go to the shelter as soon as we find Megumin!”

Youyou was about to look through the hotel registration book, but was stopped by Connor.

After telling Youyou that Kazuma had found a mansion and led the team to establish the first base, Connor threw three Eris coins with a face value of 500 yuan into the cash box, took out two bottles of milk that he had not taken away from the counter, and went to the kitchen to find a few sealed slices of bread and butter, and pulled out a few cabbage leaves, which was considered breakfast.

On the way back to the town, the two men had only water and dried meat to eat, and their teeth were almost worn out by the dried meat.

Biting the soft bread, Youyou thought for a while and decided to ask about the things that concerned her.

Since a warning had been issued to Axel last night, what would be Axel's situation now?

"We have already started preparing for the battle. Half of the adventurers will take turns to rest in the second half of the night." Connor said. Although he fell asleep, it didn't mean that he didn't know what was going on.

The Adventurer's Guild's broadcast sounded three times. The first two times were to call on residents to evacuate, and the last time was to summon adventurers.

“If you want to know the details, you have to go to the Adventurer’s Guild. You will probably need to ask the Adventurer’s Guild for Megumin’s current address as well.”

Youyou nodded. What Connor said made sense. She had not received any news about Huihui moving with the team. If she wanted to find Huihui, she could only ask the Adventurer's Guild and check the mission records related to the mansion.

"Emergency broadcast! Adventurers who are still in Axel and have decided to defend Axel, please come to the guild as soon as possible! We are about to hold an emergency mission to defeat the Mobile Fortress Destroyer. This mission is not limited by level or profession, and I hope everyone can participate. When the guild determines that the mission cannot continue, it will abandon the entire town and everyone will flee together. You will be the last line of defense to protect this town, so please leave everything in my hands!"

Luna, the guild's receptionist, yelled at the top of her lungs.

“Do you think… Huihui might have already run away?”

After the deafening broadcast, Youyou pressed the bread crumbs on the table with her fingers and suddenly thought of something that was very possible.

"Besides, there are Axis believers in there, right? The high priest will also run away, right?"

“I don’t think so. The backbone of their team is Kazuma.” Connor shook his head. He agreed with Youyou’s analysis. If it was only Huihui and Aqua, they might have run away last night.

But it’s really different.

Kazuma now has a house here, and it was a house he got with great difficulty.

It would be a bit far-fetched to judge that Kazuma would definitely not run away based on this alone, but Connor knew another reason.

That is why many adventurers in this town choose to stay in Axel even though they have surpassed the level of rookie adventurers.

Incubus.

The shop run by the kind-hearted dream demons who believe in helping each other is here. It only costs 5,000 Eris to customize a perfect dream that lasts for three hours. In addition to paying 5,000 Eris, the only thing male adventurers need to lose is a tiny amount of insignificant energy.

In order to protect the beautiful store, Connor remembered that there was a dragon knight among the adventurers in the city...

"Let's go, we'll go to the Adventurer's Guild and ask."

……

Inside the guild, the staff had already pushed some of the tables that served as a bar to the center of the guild, creating a temporary meeting room space.

"Oh... This atmosphere is unusual. It's obvious that it's quite tense."

As key figures who "risked their lives" to report the news, Connor and Youyou were immediately welcomed by the adventurers when they came in, and Youyou also saw Kazuma's team by the wall.

Sure enough, he stayed!

Kazuma, Aqua, Darkness, Megumin, and a white-haired girl who is a thief, most likely the human form of the goddess Eris, Chris.

Not a single one evacuated.

Seeing Youyou coming back, Huihui looked at Connor, who was in a team with Youyou, in surprise, and then calmly pretended not to know Youyou, and just greeted her former sponsor Connor from a distance.

“Eh? Megumin…”

Kazuma and others looked at Huihui with strange eyes. What was going on?

“You… know Huihui?” Kazuma looked back and forth between Youyou and Huihui several times.

Facing everyone’s gaze, Huihui looked away:

“Who are you? Besides, someone who didn’t even give his name is too suspicious, isn’t he? This must be what Kazuma told Aqua before, that she is not allowed to do this no matter how short of money you are. That person must be a scam by someone like me, so don’t pay any attention to her.”

“It was Huihui who pretended not to know me!” Yunyun said angrily, “Rather than saying we know each other, we’re more like rivals! It’s been a long time, Huihui! I’ve completed my training and am back. I can even use advanced magic with ease, and I’ve found a very reliable partner!”

"Well, it's time to fulfill our promise. Today we must put an end to our long-standing rivalry!"

“What? Why are you still chattering away, you suspicious guy? I don’t even know your name…” The person who was named said that he didn’t know Youyou at all, and pulled Kazuma’s hand to move to the side.

"Wait, wait a minute! I, I get it. Although it's embarrassing in this situation, I'll just tell you my name!"

For Youyou, giving her name in the crowded Adventurer's Guild was no less than asking her to fight a griffin alone.

"I'm Youyou. I'm a great wizard by profession, and I'm good at using advanced magic!" Youyou lifted up his cloak.

"Advanced magic? Now our chances of winning are a little better!"

Youyou's self-introduction brought some other troubles.

109, I will give it a try

"That little girl who was carried back like luggage can actually use advanced magic?"

"That's good. With so many advanced professions, we can at least stop the Destroyer, right?"

The guild was suddenly in chaos, and the noise was not suppressed until Luna stepped forward.

"Unfortunately, the Destroyer has a high resistance to magic."

"First of all," Luna said, putting a wooden box under her feet so that everyone could see her, "We have to thank the adventurers, Connor and Yoyo, who gave us early warning. Without their efforts, we might not know until the Destroyer got close."

“Tsk… Youyou actually did something so amazing?” Huihui, who was standing by the wall, smacked her lips and glanced at Youyou, who was describing the magic trap she had set. It seemed that Youyou had really become amazing this time… How about next time, we’ll see who’s smaller? Who can pass through a narrower gap? Well, that’s settled…

The Adventurer's Guild also used their methods. The first was the monster raised by the guild, which was a very fast eagle. It was very obedient after being trained by the Adventurer's Guild. The second was a magic that could share the monster's vision, projecting the reconnaissance eagle's perspective onto a crystal ball in public.

"so big!"

After the adventurers waited until the fog around the crystal ball dissipated, revealing the scene inside, the guild was filled with exclamations and the sound of rapid breathing.

The castle-like mobile fortress destroyer has carved out a broad road in the forest, and no matter what kind of monster it is, it will die under its feet.

Luna controlled the scout eagle through the crystal ball to continue flying forward. Just as it arrived on the back of the Destroyer, the scout eagle was pierced by a red magic beam.

hiss!

The adventurers near the crystal ball retreated together, fearing that a magic beam would emerge from the crystal ball and kill them all.
