Chapter 159: Roderick is in big trouble (4)
"Ah... it's you, Electra-kun. Although I want to say that first-year students shouldn't come here to cause trouble, but if you are willing to assist, that would be a great help."
Frank said in a not very friendly tone without looking at Alfred.
He was using his puppet to attract the wolf hunter's attention, while directing his companions to cleverly maintain and narrow the encirclement.
"Is there anything I can do?"
"We will restrict this guy's movements and hope you can come and attack. Although it's hard to accept, our attacks are not very effective against this guy."
Frank explained with a bitter expression.
"understood."
As Alfred answered, he took out a throwing knife from his space ring.
Cooperating with Frank and others, he found the right moment to throw the knife at the wolfhound's neck.
The flying knife cut through the wolf's black fur, which was as hard as rock, and pierced directly into its throat.
The wolf hunter that rushed forward fell to the ground in pain and let out a wail.
The two senior students standing in its path immediately jumped out of the way in panic to avoid being knocked away.
Although the wolf's throat was pierced, dark red blood continued to flow out.
However, this level of damage is not fatal to it.
"W-what?!"
The senior students couldn't help but murmur in surprise when they saw the Wolf Hunter stand up again.
(Its vitality is surprisingly strong, and where does it get such a strong regenerative ability?)
Alfred noticed that the wound on the wolf's neck had begun to regenerate at an unreasonable speed, which surprised him.
However, Alfred snapped his fingers and activated the magic on the handle of the throwing knife.
The wolfhound's neck exploded immediately, and its black head was blown away and fell into a small fountain nearby.
(Oh, I guess you won’t ask me to clean it up afterwards, right?)
"Brother Electra, that was just... It's okay now. Thank you very much for your assistance."
Frank seemed to be concerned about the way Alfred had just killed the wolfhound.
But he judged that it was inappropriate to ask about other people's secret moves.
Besides, no one had the time to talk about such things now. So Frank took the initiative to end the topic and asked Alfred for help.
"If possible, I hope you can help us, Elect."
He bowed his head slightly and pleaded.
"No problem, can you tell me the details?"
"I see."
Frank took a deep breath and began to explain what he knew with a complicated expression.
Since this morning, the Student Union has received a large number of reports that students have been attacked and injured by strange monsters in the Warner Fairy Forest.
As the president of the Student Union, Cecilia immediately ordered the blockade of the Warner Fairy Forest and specially dispatched students from the Student Union to form a team to go into the forest to search for the students who had not returned yet.
The rescue team was also attacked by the group of strange monsters.
They discovered that all the monsters were bound by soul contracts, and were contracted puppets of a first-year student named Roderick E. Zimmerman.
Then, Cecilia began to investigate in this direction.
Although Roderick was found, he was unable to stop the puppets.
"President Cecilia and the college instructors all agreed that the first-year student had used some means to obtain at least one large puppeteer proxy repeater and placed it somewhere in the Warner Fairy Forest."
The large puppeteer proxy repeater mentioned by Frank is a device that the Empire often installs on important fortresses and large magic spaceships. It is used by proxy puppeteers to control puppets to protect fortresses and magic spaceships.
Normally, a regular-sized proxy repeater can control hundreds of puppets at the same time. However, the proxy repeater can only issue very simple commands to the puppets, such as attack and defense.
Also, this thing is not only classified as extremely important military supplies by the Imperial Army and requires strict management, but it is also very expensive.
Even if he was born into aristocracy, it was not something a student could afford.
Alfred began to wonder how Roderick got hold of such a thing.
"I really don't know where that bastard got the fortress defense equipment. And he refused to admit that he had such a thing, nor did he tell me where it was placed."
Frank continued speaking with a speechless look on his face.
"Now, President Cecilia and Instructor Mike Yas (Webster), leading students with stronger combat abilities, have entered the forest to search for and shut down that thing.
As for the rest of us, we would only be a hindrance if we followed them, so we stayed nearby to stop those out-of-control puppets from leaving the Warner Fairy Forest and entering the academy to attack the students. I really didn't expect that there would be someone running to this place."
Looking at the body of the black wolfhound, Frank's tone became bitter.
"In that case, what do you want me to do?"
"The person who is now in charge of the student council in place of the president is Eli... Rosemary. I can take you to her right now. However, you can also act according to your own ideas."
Frank hesitated for a moment and then said meaningfully.
"My own thoughts?"
“I’m sorry to say this to Rosemary, and to you as well. But I personally hope that you can go into the Warner Fairy Forest and support the president and his team. A puppet of this level is no match for the president and his team.
But if they gather in large numbers, even the president and the others may be in danger."
Frank explained.
"I see... I understand. If anything happens to Cecilia-senpai and the others, Rose-san will feel sad. Of course, I will feel sad too."
Alfred agreed very readily, which seemed to surprise Frank.
"I really don't know whether this is considered arrogance or self-confidence."
"Of course I am confident. Could you please let Sister Rose know? I'm ready to leave right away."
"I understand. You are alone before you meet up with the senior. Be careful."
Frank warned apologetically.
Although he had asked Alfred to support Cecilia and the others, he still felt bad about letting the first-year students get into danger.
This somewhat sharp-tongued senior was unexpectedly a little pretentious, but Alfred didn't dislike him.
"Well... I'm not alone now."
Alfred suddenly sensed a presence and smiled as he looked towards Emilia who was walking towards him.
(This girl came at the right time.)
What surprised him was that the person next to Emilia was Adelaide, who was holding a potted plant.
