Demon Lord's Reincarnation 82 Subjugation ques

Ren, Lara, and Hilda went to the adventurers guild to pick up a subjugation quest. Since those quests were straight forward and for Ren's party pretty easy to do. All they needed to do in a subjugation quest was to kill all the monsters that are specified in the quest.

The quest they took was to kill all the Arcadia Wolves near the town. It would seem that a lot of merchants have been attacked by these wolf pack, and only some survive. The number of wolves weren't specified, but it is believed that there was an Arcane Arcadia wolf in the pack. This was an Arcadia wolf that could use magic, making it an A level threat. The quest was only available for A rank parties, which Ren's was not.

Still Ren had a little talk with Nezzard who gave them special permission to accept this quest. The one who handed out the quest were the people from the merchants guild. Obviously they didn't like the idea of their products being broken down by wolves, since that doesn't make for good business. On a side note, the deaths of their companions, members of the guild weren't worth much, since they were low leveled merchants.

Also since the quest was handed by the merchants guild, the rewards were very generous. Actually some adventurers have tried to do the subjugation quest already because of said rewards, but failed miserably. Three parties have been disbanded due to the death of members, and heavy injuries. These three parties were made of B rank adventurers and headed out together, but in the end they weren't able to win, since they lacked preparation. Still they were the reason why the quest got upgraded from a B rank quest to an A rank quest.

In the first report made by the survivors from merchants guild it was stated that there was a pack of Arcadia wolves. A pack of Arcadia wolves was only a B level threat, but after the failed attempt of the three parties, the quest got updated. It was now an A rank quest, due to the presence of the Arcane Arcadia wolf.

The merchants guild that made the quest with limited information, needed to pay up for the lacking information regarding the quest. Due to that mistake in information three parties made up of B rank adventurers were now out of commission. Of course they payed for that mistake, but like all merchants they payed up using only the bare minimum. Still because of this mistake none of the adventurers in town would accept the quest, even though the reward money had doubled.

Now that Ren, and company acquired the necessary information regarding the quest, they started to plan for the upcoming quest.

...

"So what are Arcadia wolves, and how are they different from regular wolves?" Ren who has zero intelligence regarding the monsters of this world, asked Hilda, since Lara was equally clueless.

"Arcadia wolves, are obviously different from regular wolves, since they are categorized as monsters, while regular wolves are animals. Regarding the difference between monsters and animals, I can't give an answer to that since even I'm not sure about the difference. So if you want to learn more about that, you need to ask a scholar. So back to the difference between an Arcadia wolf and a regular wolf. An Arcadia wolf is three times the size of a regular wolf, by this size alone it could eat a human child whole. Aside from their size, all of their physical capabilities are of course higher than a regular wolf. What makes the Arcadia wolf special from other monsters, is that each wolf is a B rank threat, and they are always in a pack of seven and above. Usually if a monster is this strong it wouldn't be helping other monsters in a mutual manner."

"I see, so then what's so special about the Arcane arcadia wolf?"

"An Arcane Arcadia wolf, is a higher level monster. It's an Arcadia wolf that could use magic. This monster has the same basic characteristics of an Arcadia wolf, except for its horn that could be seen sprouting from its forehead. This monster is classified as an A class threat, coupled with the pack of normal Arcadia wolves, the overall assessment of this threat, is a top A rank threat nearing S rank. Usually the guild master who is an S rank adventurer would have dealt with this, but as you know our guild master is a lazy loser."

'Heh, these seems like it's going to be a nice fight. I think I'll be able to use the new techniques I acquired.' Hilda once again saw Ren smiling that vicious smile of his. It was obvious that the battle freak was getting excited at the prospect of fighting such strong opponents.

"So Ren, how are we going to prepare for this quest?" Hilda asked, even though she was pretty sure she knew what Ren will say. That smile of his, was basically the answer.

"Huh, the wolves are near the town, it's just a short trip so no need to prepare for food supplies. The difficulty of killing them is... Hey Hilda compared to the King Drake I fought before how strong are the wolves?"

"Well technically based on strength alone, even the Arcane Arcadia wolf, won't be able to match up to the King Drake. But unlike the King Drake these monsters specialize in cooperation. Their overall threat level aren't the same, the king Drake would be able to kill them all by flying in the sky and raining down flames. The only reason the King Drake would win is because it could fly, but take that away then the Arcadia wolves, with Arcane Arcadia wolf would win."

Hilda tried her very best to emphasize that the threat of the Arcadia wolves wasn't a simple one. She wanted Ren to act a bit more cautiously especially after what happened with the Elder Lich. But as if he didn't understand what she said, it looked like Ren simply got even more excited.

"I need to buy some new equipment for this quest, after that let's head out." Hilda was surprised to hear Ren say this. She was so sure that he would just say, no need for preparations let's head out. Even Lara was surprised by what Ren said.
