"Five to six thousand monsters?!!" eximed Angus.


    Although most of the monsters in the outer area consist of low-grade monsters, with only a few reach fourth grade. Five and six thousand monsters are enough force to overthrow the entire ck Fortress.


    Furthermore, with the lead of a fourth-grade monster, the other lower-grade monster will not blindly charge at the ck Fortress and fall into the trap. There are also chances of a fifth-grade monster among these monster waves.


    If it is only a fourth-grade monster, Angus may be able to handle it using all kinds of his power. But, if it is a fifth-grade monster, he is not sure he could kill it even with the help of everyone. Therefore, their current situation is quite severe.


    "Did you already tell my father about this?" asked Angus.


    As the one responsible for the ck Fortress, Duke Jacob needs to know about this serious matter. If the monster waves only hundreds of monsters, Borkins and Fosa could handle them on their own. But, if it reaches thousands, it will be a serious matter.


    It is notmon to find a fifth-grade monster among thousands of monster waves. To kill a fifth-grade monster, at least a sixth-gradebatant needs to be present. Otherwise, they could only rely on thebined forces of fifth-gradebatants.


    "Yes, I already informed your father. He will be here by tomorrow." said Borkins.


    "I see. That''s good. How long will they arrive here?" asked Angus.


    "ording to our scout and their advancement speed, they will likely arrive around a week. But, they could be faster." said Fosa.


    "Hmm… I see." said Angus before looking at the map on the table.


    After thinking for a while, "How about deploying some traps to reduce and hinder them along the way?" said Angus.


    "That''s what we are nning to do. However, our traps will only reduce a small number of them. Still, it is better than nothing." said Borkins.


    "I see. I guess it seems to try the new bomb that I get from the Explosion Squad." said Angus.


    "Bomb?!" said Borkins and Fosa.


    "Yeah, I got some ''souvenirs'' during my stay in the explosion squad. However, they are too destructive to be used inbat. They could only be used as something like a trap."


    "I decide to n these bombs on the three hunting areas. Before I leave today, I find a lot of first and second-grade monsters attracted to these hunting grounds.


    "Although I only managed to set up two of them, the iing monster wave will surely upy and try to stay at this hunting area."


    "At that time, all I need is to detonate these bombs to eliminate them. This bomb is more destructive when used against many targets at once." exined Angus.


    "Excellent. If your trap is working, we may reduce their number to a quarter or at least half of them. Still, after the bomb explodes, they will indeed charge through here.


    "Although the monster is not as smart as people, they are also not an idiot and will know we are the preparator for these bombs." said Borkins.


    "In other words, we need to be ready to fight when we detonated the bomb." added Fosa.


    Then, they begin to discuss and n to maximize the trap to reduce the iing monster wave. Since there is an iing monster wave, they also need to stop their previous n to reduce the Ogre number and withdraw the previous monster bounty.


    Instead, they need to hire adventurers to help them defend the ck Fortress. This is amon urrence whenever there is a monster waveing. Of course, the current monster wave is not normal and bigger than usual.


    Still, to not cause people to panic and run away, they decide not to divulge any important information about the monster wave. The next day, Borkins and Fosa immediately spread the news about the iing monster wave and withdrew the previous monster bounty.


    Hearing the iing monster wave, all the residents of the ck Fortress have different kinds of reactions. Some of them decide to move and escape from the ck Fortress immediately. Some of them smell an opportunity and decide to stay.


    On the other hand, most adventurers decide to stay and help ck Fortress. The main reason is that they get enormous amounts of money to help defend the ck Fortress.


    The first-gradebatant will get paid twenty gold coins. Second-gradebatants will earn around two times of first grade, which is fifty gold coins. The third-gradebatant will get 100 gold coins.


    The fourth-gradebatant will get 500 gold coins, as for the fifth-gradebatant will get around 5000 gold coins. Still, the adventurers that reach the fifth-grade level are very rare and only exist at the big guilds.


    Most of these adventurers are also usually busy doing other jobs. This kind of pay is very enticing for all the nearby adventurers.


    With this kind of payment, it is already equivalent to hunting monsters for months with their respective grade. Moreover, they also get some basic supplies from the ck Fortress, such as mana potions and small wound healing potions.


    Just by joining to defend against monster waves, they already get a lot of profits. The lowest grade mana potion costs around ten to twenty gold coins, while small wound healing potions could sell around thirty gold coins.


    Although the current ck Fortress didn''t have a lot of money at this moment, they still could provide this supply to everyone. This is because the Heart Kingdom has been making many fortunes in the past few years.


    The overall wealth and resources inside the Heart Kingdom increased many timespared to a few years ago. Even if some of the nobles and influential people corrupt the money, the defensive facility like ck Fortress still gets a lot of supply.


    Moreover, under the strict watch of King Leon, most of the nobles and influential people didn''t dare to embezzle too much money unless they wanted their entire family and themself killed on the spot.


    With this kind of payment, most adventurers decide to join the ck Fortress to fight against the monster wave. Some shrewd merchants also choose to stay and supply the money-filled adventurer.


    While the big merchant guild is waiting in line to buy the monster corpse after the monster wave ends. No one thought the monster wave could destroy the ck Fortress since the Monster Overlord incident already happened a few years ago.


    It ismon knowledge that Monster Overlord will only ur at least every decade or more years. Sometimes it is needed around a hundred years before a new monster overlord is born.


    As a result, most of the adventurers and the residents didn''t think much about the current monster wave. All of them only thought it was an ordinary monster wave and could be easily handled.


    As the news about the monster wave spread around, Angus and his team began to clear and set up the third hunting ground. He also didn''t forget to nt the bomb he got from Valter as a souvenir.


    The bombs he gets are Valter and his team''s newest invention that Angus saw before. It is the Chain Bomb. The bomb is too destructive to be used in ordinarybat. Therefore, Angus gets many of them as they will only be rusted in the Explosion Squad warehouse.


    At first, Angus nned to study and tinkered them to be usable at ordinarybat. However, he didn''t expect to use them so soon as a trap bomb against the monster. This is also a test of the Chain Bomb''s effectiveness against the monster.


    With the help of Jayna and Anna, along with the other team, Angus managed to clear and set up the third hunting area before midday. After nting the bombs and a few traps on various locations, they move to the other two hunting areas to set up traps.


    To maximize their traps, they will need to eliminate the nearby attracted monster in the hunting area until the monster wavees. Using Angus''srge-scale spells, they could easily eliminate the monster inside the hunting area.


    By the time they finish nting all the bombs and traps in all three hunting areas, the sun is already setting, and they need to go back to the Fortress, leaving only the scout team.


    Unlike ordinary humanbatants, most monsters could move during the day and night without any obstruction. With the low visibility, it will be the worst situation if Angus and the others meet with the monster wave.


    Therefore, it is safer to stay at the ck Fortress during the night and leave only a small scout team to monitor the hunting area. The scout team is also a specialized team trained in stealth and gathering information.


    They are already used to investigate and monitor the monster''s territory without getting caught. Therefore it is eptable to leave them monitoring the hunting area until the monster wavese.


    After resting a whole night, the next day, Angus and the others n to clear the hunting area again. Just as they wanted to depart from the ck Fortress, they heard a loud beastly roar from the sky. *ROOARR*


    The beastly roar attracted all the residents of the ck Fortress.. Along with the roar, Angus also detected a familiar presence approaching the Fortress.
