Chapter 31 -40

Chapter 31 Colette’s Gift
A week had passed since the Monster Outbreak. The residents of Leaf Village paid their respects to the brave men and women who had stood their ground to protect their village from the Undead that had broken past their defenses.

Because it was mainly the Village’s Guards who battled against the Monsters, they incurred the most casualties and only a little more than fifty had survived.

Aron, who was the Captain of the Guards, had requested his counterparts from the Norria Stronghold to station thirty Goat Riders in their village to help bolster their defenses.

The Commander of Norria approved his request, and stationed a group of Dwarven Defenders, known as the Black Thorn, to guard Leaf Village for the time being.

These thirty mounted warriors had the rank of Grade C Apostles (Rank 2 Monster), led by their Rider Captain, Boreas, who was a Grade B Apostle (Rank 3 Monster).

Due to the intensity of the battle, Aron had also broken through to the rank of a Grade B Apostle, and had become a staunch defender of the village. It was quite unfortunate that his about fifty subordinates, who fought alongside him, didn’t break through and remained as Grade D Apostles (Rank 1 Monster), falling short of reaching the next rank.

All in all, more than eighty defenders were left in Leaf Village as protectors.
