Chapter 711 711 Agreeing To Help
”Thank you for having me, Patriarch Noxus. It is a pleasure to finally see your hometown. I arrived with a combat group that was meeting in the Eastern Wastes, to deal with a group of monsters that had been enhanced by the Cursed Talismans, so this is the first time that I have been here.
I must say, I am absolutely enamoured with the local fashion. Look at these robes, they’re so soft. Plus, they cover absolutely everything, which has proven to be a real benefit this evening while we were trying not to draw undue attention. Did you know, most of the other species view Succubus fashion as lewd? They don’t even care how well secured the shoes are.
But like this, it’s like the ultimate tease, you can’t even see her feet. She could be barefoot for all that anyone knows, and they don’t care. Witches are a strange bunch, but I think that I like them.”
That definitely explained the outfit. Incubi were typically extremely fashionable, and the mysterious witch vibe was quite popular among the gathered species. It was how the patrols in the woods travelled, and that was how most of the new arrivals first interacted with the Witches, and their first impression of Witch fashion.
“You know, I think that she looks good like this, but it might be a little stifling. It can be worn with the hood down and the top button undone as well, for the purposes of ventilation, or you can use magic to keep comfortable inside. The ones that we produce for the patrols are already enchanted with temperature control, if you would like me to get you an authentic Forest Grove cloak. Without the badges for the patrols, of course.” Wolfe offered.
“Oh, that would be positively wonderful. I will craft a suit to match, and we can go as a pair. You have no idea how hard it can be to accessorize properly in a new world.” The young master of the Kara group replied.
“Oh, I have a pretty good idea. When I landed in Queen Elizabeth’s kingdom, I had a whole series of meetings, Royal Events and investigations to complete. Without even a proper suitcase, since I was only making an overnight trip.” Wolfe laughed.
They were both wearing outfits made with armour spells, which was why the Demon was in a black suit, but that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t have been happier with a full wardrobe of premade amulets for outfits.
While Rae looked a bit concerned about being dressed up like a doll for her employer’s amusement, Wolfe decided it was time to get to business.
“I am told that you come with a request or a proposal on behalf of a village of Harpies. Perhaps we should start with that, as I have a rather packed evening of meetings, and fashion can wait.” He suggested.
“Yes, of course. What I have come to request is a more impressive level of firepower than what the harpies were given. My own personal combat power isn’t bad, and is considered quite high for an Incubus, but the eastern regions were closest to the One World Army, when they were still actively spreading curses.
There are numerous powerful monsters in the area, and the Rank Two weapons simply aren’t enough for our airborne units to efficiently deal with problems. I have tried giving them amulets and mana crystals, but their ability to use magic is still very limited, despite their growth, and we require an additional level of security.”
Wolfe nodded in agreement. “There are others who have requested the same thing, as the monster issue is getting out of hand everywhere. Do you think that improving the ammunition from Rank Two to Rank Three will be enough to keep up with the changes, or are we going to require a more extreme approach?”
The young business mogul frowned before taking out a set of graphs and charts from his pocket.
“These are the predicted growth charts that my organization has made. They suspect that the average power level will even out between Rank Three and Rank Four, with the occasional Rank Five overlord in a region. Rank Two ammunition, as we have been provided, is capable of taking down a Rank Three monster, but with excessive expenditure that puts the flying troops at risk.
As more of the monsters advance from Rank Two to Rank Three, they are starting to come in packs, and even concentrated firepower isn’t enough to deal with them before they can become a deadly hazard, so Rank Three ammunition would be alright for now, but if our predictions are right, and we start seeing packs of Rank Four monsters in the near future, it might have to be updated again.”
That was the greatest danger that most of the continent faced. Nobody truly knew where the mana level would stabilize, or how the monsters would adapt to the increase. If they were off by just a little and an unexpected number of monsters advanced an extra rank, it would be disastrous for everyone.
Although the human nations had strong technological weapons, against a monster tide above Rank Three, most of them were ineffective, and they would have to resort to the forbidden weapons from the great war, which nobody wished to see unleashed on their own territory.
Though they didn’t have many qualms using them in the past against the Frozen Wastes, having that level of radiation, toxic fallout and lasting damage to their own lands was completely out of the question.
“How many special forces do you have? I could upgrade the main ammunition supply to Rank Three and then provide your demons with a selection of more powerful weapons for emergencies and stronger monster packs.” Wolfe suggested.
The Incubus considered that for a few seconds as Rae made notes. “Yes, I think that could work. I have a large number of Rank Four personnel, with a handful of Rank Five bodyguards that can be sent out. If they had better attack magic, they would be able to do the job.
They’re just not well suited to it at the moment, their innate skills are more geared to seduction and mental trickery than head-on combat.”
“Then I have just the solution for you.” Wolfe replied with a smile.
It was always good when problems could be solved with simple existing solutions.
