I Am Not A Goblin Slayer

That was definitely an enemy they could not face.

Most of the people present were adventurers, with their industries, families, and relatives all in the Cold Jade Province. They were somewhat willing to contribute, but if it meant sending them to their deaths, it wouldn’t be long before they vanished without a trace. Even if it meant ending up on the Adventurer’s Guild blacklist and losing a significant amount of assets locally.

The Adventurer’s Guild and the Royal Capital were clearly aware of this layer of complexity and would naturally send suitable strong forces to support the Cold Jade Province if top-tier strength was insufficient, to avoid devastating blows to mid-to-low level adventurers and the army.

Therefore, unless the Royal Capital allowed the Cold Jade Province to fall, the reinforcement of epic combat power was absolutely set in stone.

Gauss was just wondering if even more powerful forces would be sent, like top-tier epics or even stronger legendary warriors.

Gauss speculated that legendary warriors likely existed within the Carlos Kingdom.

Though according to the records of the Carlos Kingdom’s Adventurer’s Guild, the kingdom had only ever birthed 5 Platinum-level adventurers, which equates to legendary combat power, it sounds pitifully few. Based on this explicit number, it was not impossible that no legendary warriors existed within the kingdom in this era.

However, it must be understood that not every professional would choose to register as an adventurer, especially those of noble heritage. Take, for example, Kieran Xavier, the Deputy Dean of the Farlim Magic Academy whom Gauss knew, who had never registered with the Adventurer’s Guild.

In his spare time from teaching, Gauss had casual conversations with Deputy Dean Kieran.

His situation wasn’t an isolated case.

For the direct descendants of major noble lineages with inheritance rights, even if they went on a journey to gain experience, they might not become adventurers. Or they would register under a false identity and then have their registration nullified using family connections once they reached a certain level.

There are various reasons for this.

Like Kieran, there was no necessary need for him; the resources and magic he required could be obtained from the Xavier family. Even when going out for training, he had elders secretly watching over him. Taking commissions from the Adventurer’s Guild, forming a team, earning revenue, to him was just a waste of time.

Another reason, naturally, was social status. In the eyes of some great noble lineages, although they would not say it aloud, they somewhat regarded mingling among common adventurers as beneath them.

And the most important reason was personal safety; registering as an adventurer and moving about freely posed greater risks to the direct descendants of significant noble families.

This risk not only came from demons but more so from fellow adventurers.

Whether it was the treasures they might carry or the potential for kidnapping with subsequent demands for large ransoms from their families, these were irresistible temptations to some adventurers with ill intentions.

Thus, even those from grand noble families who yearned for the adventurer’s identity would often choose to forge an identity to prevent encounters with those desperate enough to take reckless actions.

If top-tier epics or legendary combat power were urgently transferred to the Cold Jade Province, could they utterly slay that adult Green Dragon?

Gauss stroked his chin.

The intelligence he had was too scant, so he could only analyze the situation as though looking at flowers through the fog.

But one thing was known: Regardless of whether they were transferred, there were surely reasons unknown to ordinary adventurers like them.

The demon faction, too, was not short of legendary combat power.

Though Legendary combat power was scant on this continent, it wasn’t completely extinct either.

As for the Legendary Sword Saint Roland, he was a different existence from other legends.

Gauss had heard that although Roland was known to the public by the title of Legendary Sword Saint, his true combat power had exceeded the legendary realm, possibly reaching the level of a half-god.

It was just due to certain mundane religious factors that he couldn’t be openly given that title.
