Monster Hunt: Notes from a Hunter

Chapter 1405 The Returning Person
At the same time, the ancient dragon species gathered in the place where demons gathered.

The fleet that set out from the Star Stronghold to support the Old Continent finally crossed the vast ocean and arrived at the Port of Tangia in the southern part of the continent.

This is not only the largest seaport in the southern part of the continent, but also a transportation hub where many airship routes converge.

There are even direct flights to Xiqi Country.

From here, you can go to almost any city in the Old World.

The fleet stopped at the dock, the gangway had just been lowered and the people on the ship had not had time to get off.

A guild messenger wearing "Guild Knight x" armor had already taken the lead and came forward.

Appointed by the Great Elder, he has been waiting at the port for many days.

The first person to walk out of the cabin was Evelyn, holding her son's hand. When she saw the messenger's face clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

"Kute Aiz? Didn't they say the situation here is tense? How could the Great Elder be willing to send you over to meet the ship?"

"Ms. Evelyn, Mr. Feddy, long time no see." The guild envoy with the title of "One-armed Kurt Aze" raised the brim of his wide-brimmed hat and nodded to Evelyn and others.

"The situation is very tense, yes. All cities, fortresses, and strongholds are actively preparing for war.

But for now, there has been no direct attack on large settlements by ‘those guys’, so we can still move around.”

Evelin nodded her chin to show her understanding.

Gene, who was following Evelyn and her husband, jumped out and asked anxiously, "What about Pokai Village? Is everything okay over there? Has there been any attacks?"

Kurt Etz thought for a moment and shook his head, "Pokai Village in the Vlassia region? Probably not. So far, there have been no reports of villages being attacked by monsters, including Pokai Village."

"That's good, that's good!" Gene patted his chest, finally feeling relieved after almost a month of worry.

"Moga Village? Is everything okay over there?" Az also asked.

They were not the only ones who had similar questions. More and more hunters came out of the cabin and surrounded Kut Aiz, asking questions.

Although Kurt Aitz had a headache, he could only be patient and answer them one by one.

These hunters came all the way back from the New World to provide support, so it is a very reasonable request for them to know the situation in their hometown.

But you have to know that the members of the investigation team withdrawing to the Old World are not just hunters, but also more than 200 craftsmen, scholars, logistics personnel, etc.

He couldn't reply to so many people one by one, but fortunately he was not the only guild member who came to contact him.

As a guild knight directly under the guild headquarters, his main mission on this trip was to convey instructions to the dozens of elite hunters who had returned from the New World.

Handing a roll of parchment to Evelyn, Kurt Etz said, “This is the list of hunters who will come back to help from the letter sent back by the commander-in-chief of the investigation team.

Please confirm whether there is any error."

Evelyn took the list and checked it carefully. "No problem. Four top hunters and twenty-eight elite hunters from three to five stars are all here."

"Ok."

Kurt Aiz nodded and handed over another list. "This is the decision made by the guild's top management after careful consideration. Please follow the instructions on this list and provide support to various places."

Evelin took the list, quickly glanced at it, and said with a smile: “I thought everyone had to return to Dondoruma to report on their work before making any arrangements.

So the support locations have been arranged in advance? This saves a lot of time."

Kurt Aiz shrugged. "Of course, it can save several days. The Great Elder is not someone who cares about those procedures and etiquette. In extraordinary times, efficiency is the most important thing."

Gene also came over and took a few looks.

Then he was somewhat surprised to find that the support locations arranged for the hunters on the list were basically some remote villages and small towns.

Instead of supporting major fortresses and cities as they had previously guessed.

Understanding the confusion in the hunters' hearts, Kut Eze, the guild envoy, explained, "As I said just now, we are now at a stage where the storm is about to come, but it has not actually arrived yet.

Affected by certain factors, 'those beings' became extremely agitated, which in turn triggered a large-scale monster riot.

Large cities have walls as fortifications and enough hunters to protect them, so ordinary monsters cannot pose a threat to them.

The attacks and casualties so far have mainly been concentrated in small settlements such as scattered villages and towns, and the guild must also consider those villages and towns."

"As it should be."

Ferdie nodded, then asked, "What should we do if the unrest escalates and there are too many monsters for us to handle?"

Kut Eze replied: "The elder's meaning is that if the chaos escalates further, we should escort the villagers to the nearest city for refuge, so as to minimize casualties.

By then, the hunters may have other tasks to arrange."

“I understand.” Evelin responded.

Then he unfolded the list and began to read out loud the arrangements for the support locations for each hunter.

After all the hunters confirmed their missions, Kut Eze continued, “We have already informed Tangia Port in advance.

Everyone can take the airship directly for free to their respective support locations.

I'm sorry that I didn't give you guys some time to rest. I'll leave the safety of those villages and towns in your care."

Az boarded a small airship carrying large and small bags and fish roe.

He didn't really like the feeling of floating in the sky. He preferred riding a boat to an airship.

Not only is it safer, but you can also fish along the way.

But now is not the time to be willful. Besides, I am eager to return home, so taking an airship will definitely be faster.

That’s right, the village that the guild arranged for him to support was his hometown - Moga Village.

It stands to reason that there is no need to station a high-level hunter in a small village like Moga Village with a population of no more than a hundred people.

However, the information sent back by the hot air balloon of the Ancient Dragon Observatory mentioned that in the waters near Moga Village and the isolated island, there was a "huge shadow" accompanied by seaquakes and abnormally large waves.

After Kurt Aiz passed this information to him, the carefree smile on Aiz's face disappeared.

Even after boarding the airship, his expression was still solemn.

"God of the Deep Sea, are you also becoming uneasy?"

Noticing his heavy mood, Fish Roe reached out his paw and patted Aziz's knee comfortingly.

Az came back to his senses from his soliloquy and rubbed Yuzi's head apologetically.

"It's okay. When we get to Moga Village, you must try the local fish specialties.

Let me tell you, Yu Zi, the most distinctive thing here is not the fish, but the calla lily!

It is filling and nutritious, and when cooked with seafood, it is a specialty of Moga Village!"

Yu Zi nodded obediently.

After staring at the fish roe for a few seconds, Az sighed again, "I only found out on the way back. It's too late. I should have left you in the New World.
Damn it, next time I see a pork chop, I will definitely crush it to death!"

Hearing Az's suggestive words, Yu Zi became shy.

"By the way, how many months is Deter's gestation period?"

"Three to three months meow."
