Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another half year has passed. As time goes by, Janet's belly has grown bigger. Roland spends every day with his wife, playing with their child.

They live a leisurely and carefree life.

However...

This peaceful life was soon disrupted.

Today at noon...

A hunter accidentally discovered the lair of an advanced demonic beast, the flame tiger, in the forest east of Apus Village.

After the news spread, the entire village was filled with anxiety.

After all...

In this world, it is not uncommon for demon beasts to destroy villages.

Everyone is afraid that the Flame Tiger will attack the village and prey on humans.This panic has greatly affected the operation and production of Apus Village.

This was the reason why Roland had always tried to increase his army. Any time a monster may pop out of anywhere and fuck you up.

Unless you have strength, don't fucking think about wasting time on pleasure and leisure.

Roland immediately called all the servants and ordered.

"We must resolve this matter as soon as possible."

"From now on, a curfew will be imposed in the Village. Ask everyone to stay at home. Don't let children wander and don't let anyone go out of the village."

As they discussed, the main crux remained.

Upon learning this, Roland immediately made up his mind. He must eliminate this advanced demon beast that has settled near Apus Village.

The village is at constant risk of being attacked by demon beasts.

There is no security.

Merchants are afraid to come and do business.

The villagers may also flee.

He doesn't want the family's hard-developed territory to become desolate because of this demon beast.

The only thing he can do is to kill this Flame Tiger.

Minimize the negative impact of this matter.

However...

Killing this Flame Tiger is obviously not a simple task.

As a fire attribute advanced demon beast, the Flame Tiger possesses numerous fire-based magic and formidable melee combat abilities.

Its combat power is extremely strong.

Once it reaches adulthood, its strength is comparable to that of a high-level knight (7th rank).

How to eliminate the beast….

With Roland' 6th rank strength...

Though he was an Intermediate Master Knight, fighting alone was risky and he didn't want his wife to be widowed so soon.

Even if he masters a highly destructive 5-star combat technique, it is difficult to defeat this Flame Tiger alone.

Beasts have more vitality and strength than humans.

Even if he can win, it will most likely be a terrific victory with both sides suffering heavy losses.

"It seems like I need to find some helpers."

Roland' eyes sparkled, and he immediately took action.

He instructed the butler to go to the Adventurer's Guild and post the relevant mission while everyone was ordered to maintain strict confidentiality.

No one was allowed to talk about this to Jane. It was not good for her to hear this.

To ensure that the mission was accepted as soon as possible, he directly offered a high reward of five thousand gold coins for this extermination mission.

That was a bit too much but the safety of himself and his people comes first.

Interests can be enticing.

It has to be said.

This move was very effective.

In less than two days, a small adventurer team called Purple Hyacinth took on this mission. Upon hearing this good news, Roland promptly received these adventurers at his own estate.

……..

Weiss Manor, reception room.

"Greetings, Lord Baron!"

Upon seeing Roland, all members of the adventurer team stood up.

Although their strength was quite impressive.

But their status was ultimately that of ordinary commoners.

When facing nobles, it was necessary to maintain a certain level of respect.

"You don't need to be so formal."

Roland waved his hand.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries.

Roland gained a basic understanding of this adventurer team.

The captain was a graceful and heroic half-elf woman named Freya, strength: 6th rank, profession: magic archer.

The vice-captain was a muscular woman named Ada, strength: 6th rank, profession: shield warrior.

The other members were two males and one female.

One warrior, one healer, and one hunter, all with only 5th rank strength.

It had to be said that this adventurer team was very powerful and could form a small yet highly destructive squad. Even in the army, they can directly become Lieutenant.

The combination of professions was also very reasonable.

Scouting, frontline, melee, ranged, and healing were all covered. With such an adventurer team to help, Roland was full of confidence in exterminating the Flame Tiger.

He discussed the mission details with these adventurers.

Roland then had the butler take them downstairs to rest.

It was getting late today.

The sun was about to set.

Venturing deep into the dense forest at this time was too dangerous.

The visibility was dim, and it was difficult to see anything clearly.

It would be better to set out to subdue the fierce fire tiger tomorrow morning.

Settle the adventurers who have come from afar.

Roland returned to his room.

On the other hand,

In the guest rooms arranged by Roland.

Freya and the others were discussing their experiences today.

"That Baron Roland is going to join us in subduing the fierce fire tiger tomorrow. I wonder how strong he is. Hopefully, he won't hold us back," said the female healer Kara.

"This Baron Roland seems delicate and pampered. It looks like he's not very capable," Vice Captain Ada bluntly spoke.

"We should all be mentally prepared," Adonis muttered while caressing his moustache.

"When we go to subdue the fierce fire tiger tomorrow, remember to protect the safety of this employer.Also Lia you need to rest thoroughly as your healing power might be much needed."

Captain Freya said calmly.

Take people's money and help them solve their problems.

Since they have taken on this well-paying task, they naturally have to meet the employer's needs. And the party had offered a huge sum after all.

She had long been mentally prepared.

After reaching a consensus.

The five women discussed how to protect the employer tomorrow.

Then, they each returned to their rooms to rest.

……….

The next day.

Early morning.

Roland and the members of the Squad finished washing up.

They were ready to go.

After everything was prepared.

Guided by the hunter who discovered the lair of the fierce fire tiger.

Roland and the Adventure Squad walked towards the forest to the east of Apus Village.

After entering the dense forest.

Everyone's expressions became noticeably alert.

Especially the members of the Adventure Squad, who immediately formed a formation.

As the vice captain and shield warrior, Ada walked at the front, carrying a huge shield to pave the way.

The .alw hunter and male healer were in the middle.

And as the captain of the remote output, Freya walked at the back with the female warriors, following behind Roland.

That's how they walked for twenty minutes.

Deep into the dense forest, ten kilometers in, Roland and the others quickly discovered the traces of the Flame Tiger.

Trees burned to ashes.

On the ground, were strands of hair that resembled flames.

All signs indicated that the area ahead was where the Flame Tiger frequently roamed.

And the words of the guide also confirmed this.

The den of the Flame Tiger was in a small hollow ahead.

"Everyone, be prepared for battle at all times."

Stepping into the territory of the Flame Tiger, Freya tightly gripped her bow and arrow, reminding everyone.

After all….

The Flame Tiger was no ordinary monster.

It was extremely powerful.

If not dealt with carefully, it could cost them their lives.

She didn't want her employer to be killed by the monster.

And she certainly didn't want any casualties among her teammates who she spent day and night with.

"Understood!"

Understanding Freya's good intentions, everyone raised their vigilance.

They didn't dare to let go of their weapons for a moment.

In case they were caught off guard by the Flame Tiger that could appear at any time.

They walked another kilometer.

Roland, who had been walking silently, suddenly twitched his ears. As if sensing something his face changed.

He wrapped his left arm around the half-elf girl, Freya, who was beside him, and quickly retreated while screaming.

"Damn! Fall back!"

At the same time, he drew his greatsword and unleashed a combat technique while screaming inwardly.

'I asked your help to eliminate it but now I have to act as a hero , saving beauty.'
