Overgeared

“Please go back straight away tonight. This place is dangerous.”

‘What?’

Duke Steim’s whisper filled Grid with doubt.

Frontier—it was the very north and the end of the Overgeared Kingdom. It was surrounded by snowstorms and rugged mountains all year round so communication with the central government wasn’t smooth. The basic problem was that it was too far away. The Frontier was a remote area where the anti-Grid forces operated in the dark.

However, things had changed. In the wake of the anti-coalition incident, the alert Grid stationed some of the Overgeared members in the north. He asked them to let him know if anything unusual happened in the north. They empowered Duke Steim, who defended the north alone from the monsters and barbarians beyond the walls and from the internal enemies.

That’s right—Grid was able to see the Frontier’s situation in near real-time. Until yesterday, there was no incident in Frontier.

‘Then what is so dangerous?’

“Let’s go into the castle.”

A bright smile spread across Duke Steim’s face as he raised his head and guided Grid. The serious expression from just now disappeared like he was conscious of someone’s eyes.

“You look cold.”

Duke Steim took off his cloak and covered Jishuka. Jishuka was the owner of the Red Phoenix Bow and didn’t feel very cold, but she didn’t see the need to refuse the favor. Thus, she covered herself with the cloak.

“Your Majesty, you don’t need it?”

“Of course.”

Grid tapped Valhalla and was guided by Duke Steim. Then the moment he arrived at Duke Steim’s office, he asked, “Why did you say it was dangerous? Is it the remnants of the Eternal Kingdom?”

“No, they have already been rooted out.”

“Then...?”

“Some of the half-draconians have moved to the Chaos Mountains.”

“...!!”

Beyond the walls, the Chaos Mountains was one of the largest and most rugged mountain ranges in the West Continent. There were eight mountains intertwined like a whirlpool. There was a legend that it was a place where dragons once stayed.

-I heard there were level 400 monsters near the entrance?If you go in a bit deeper, monsters with a level of 500 or higher will appear. What type of guts do the half-draconians have to set up a nest in such a place?

The surprised Jishuka sent him a whisper and Grid shook his head.

-Level 400 or higher monsters will only appear a bit after the entrance.The level of monsters that inhabit the entrance area is an average of 200~300.

-Ah~ the rumors were exaggerated.

-No, not at all.
