Chapter 456: Kalonburg

This is absolutely impossible.

Lynch has killed more than one monster like it, so it will be even easier to deal with them now.

It just doesn't look smart.

It was a natural thing to do to destroy it. Before this stupid reptile could react, five lizard and snake heads of different sizes had already rolled to the ground.

Acid and some flammable liquid were still in its mouth, flowing out from its instinctively opening and closing head, corroding the surrounding soil and plants.

The huge body crashed into Lynch due to inertia. The hill-like mutated flesh still had some instinctive reactions and even knew how to adjust direction.

That's all.

The second time the scepter was swung, it cut it into two pieces. Flames exploded at the wound of the hydra, and it turned into two fireballs in the blink of an eye, rolling miserably on the ground for several times.

"What is it?" Eugen only had time to scream after the attacker was eliminated.

"Hydra, you've seen it."

"But the multi-headed snakes I've seen before don't look like this."

Lynch didn't want to answer this stupid question. After adjusting his robes, Teclis glanced at the corpse still wriggling in the flames.

"If you have received a systematic education, you should know that the mutation of Hydra is as natural as eating and drinking.

If you find two identical individuals, you should understand that they are actually the same hydra."

The rest of the journey was spent in Tigris's drowsy explanation. After walking a long way, Lynch was reminded by Eugen that he should remove the remains of the hydra and tell the imperial people that the beast had been killed.

But Lynch was too lazy to do that, and this approach was not safe. Who knew if there were any pieces of flesh and blood left in other places of the hydra, and whether they had grown into new hydras at this time?

Anyone who tries to claim that they have actually killed a Hydra will most likely be slapped in the face by a new Hydra that appears.

Even if he heard later that there was another multi-headed snake causing harm to others, Lynch would not be surprised.

These Chaos Beasts are manifestations of the unfathomable power of Ithil, and they will exist forever as long as the power of Chaos exists.

The road ahead was much calmer, perhaps because everyone had been warned of the hydra's presence. There were almost no merchants on the road. Those who dared to travel at this time were armed to the teeth, with cannons, crossbows, and halberds taken out. When Lynch passed by several caravans, he almost thought they were regular troops.

A few caravans even have mages accompanying them.

Every team that discovered the carriage expressed surprise. Lynch knew what they were curious about. They would not be surprised if they could see the lizardmen next to the carriage.

Eugen didn't find the next hotel until the evening, as all the hotels along the way had closed down.

He could only spend the night in the carriage with Teclis.

When I went out the next day, the avenue, which had been sparsely populated, became bustling again.

Perhaps the army also received the news, or they did not want to sacrifice themselves in vain and disclosed the information after receiving the mage's message.

There were more dwarf butchers with their signature hairstyles on the road, as well as new knights who seemed to want to stand out.

They often follow a light convoy that is obviously a decoy and appears to have traveled day and night.

The butchers who were bent on death had picked a good target, but they probably had no chance of seeking death.

The adventurous knights who were searching the world for the Holy Grail formed a team with them. Similarly, unless a second hydra jumped out, no Holy Grail Knight would be born in Midden in the days to come.

Even if a multi-headed snake appeared, it would not be enough for the "adventurer team" that Lynch saw to share.

According to rumors on the road, this many-headed snake is very famous and stories about it can be found throughout the Old World.

It seems to be an immortal monster that has been killed countless times in history. Every ten or twenty years, it will reappear after being presumed dead.

Its existence can be traced back to seven centuries ago, and some passers-by even said that it was this multi-headed snake that stopped the greenskins from moving in the north.

Because the Kronborg Gnasher is particularly fond of building its nest in the mountains.

Some people also believe that the hydras that appeared later were just descendants of the original hydras, and their guess is very close to the truth.

Among the knights who came to try to hunt the beast, there were even more outrageous rumors - a few hydras could be resurrected from the dead.

Lynch was too lazy to explain the specific truth to the stupid young creature, so he just assumed that it was immortal. If that were the case, the planet would have been blown up by the hydra long ago.

There were abnormally many adventurous knights coming and going, and it was not until they mentioned that the Bretonnian expeditionary force had returned that Lynch realized that the war might have come to an end.

Perhaps even if Lynch did not take action, a passing Holy Grail Knight would have come to deal with the beast, but the hydra chose the quickest way to die.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It was it that targeted Lynch first; the lizard man did not take the initiative to provoke it.

Before the butchers, adventurous knights, and imperial knights flooded the West Duncanwald Forest, Lynch had arrived at Caronburg after eight and a half days of travel.

Perhaps every imperial city is like this, either a large fortress or a cluster of fortresses.

Kronborg is no exception.

It was once the capital of the province of Duncanwald, and after the Great Change it became a subordinate city of Middenheim. Now, it has regained its status as equal to Middenheim and is the capital of Midden.

In the distant past it was the domain of the Teutonic kings, but now it is the capital of the Thuringians.

It stands on a steep hillside on the north bank of the Rick River. From a distance it looks like a fortress, but when Lynch was about to enter the city, he discovered that it looked like a giant maze.

The interior of the maze is made up of winding streets and stairs, and water and garbage generated by residents flow naturally down the mountain and eventually lead to the Rick River.

No one in the know would want to live downstream, even though the water looked clear.

Kronborg has a much lower elevation difference than Middenheim, but in some ways it is even steeper than Middenheim.

As far as Lynch could see, the higher the place, the more luxurious the houses were, and they were often independent buildings or courtyards.

The eaves below are crowded together, like refugees huddling together for warmth, and the appearance is not very beautiful.

To the south, in the lowest area of ​​Kalundborg, hundreds of large ships were docked along the banks of the Reik River, a huge river that could be called a lake, but Lynch could see the other side of the river.

Lynch could capture Aldolf's majestic figure just by moving his eyes slightly.

In fact, there was no need to enter the city. If Eugen was willing to travel overnight, they only needed to walk south along the road before entering the city, and it would take two or three days to reach Altdorf.

Now, taking a rest in transit like this is actually a long detour.

This is a prosperous city with several schools standing around the city. It is probably a breeding ground for officials because most of those schools are related to administration.
