In the tunnel at Area No. 10, near Winterfell.
Pits created by the explosions of Magic Cannons peppered the entire underground tunnel.
The first wave of the Ancient Gods army was now stopping for a rest. The corpses of the Ancient Gods army, as well as those of Goblins, Gnomes, and the Houndhead Men, were dragged away.
A red-skinned humanoid creature emitted beastly bellows as he dragged a Goblin corpse that was wielding a Short Sword. The corpse was gradually disintegrated by Mana.
The red-skinned humanoid creature looked at his empty hands in astonishment.
In the tunnel, the corpses disintegrated and vanished.
After the first wave of attack, which was like a Tsunami, the Ancient Gods army retreated to gather more forces.
The Ancient Gods army didnât salvage the dropped equipment on the battlefield, as it wasnât useful to them. The sizes of the equipment werenât fitting, so they were considered trash. The Ancient Gods army depended more on brute strength for fighting.
It didnât mean that other creatures wouldnât salvage the equipment.
In the spacious tunnel, a group of half-naked Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men were salvaging the dropped equipment.
Those green-skinned creatures that had strange words above their heads didnât care whether the equipment was gross or not. As long as it would fit, they put it on.
Beefballs stood on a tall platform and looked at Eternal Kingdomâs creatures. They were happily salvaging in the tunnel, which looked like a massacre ground.
That was correct, it was joy!
It was the first time Beefballs witnessed creatures being so happy on the battlefield.
âCommander, the strength of the troops from Eternal Kingdom is more formidable than we thought. Though the warriors werenât properly trained, their fearless battle traits make them a dependable ally,â the adjutant commented.
âHmm, itâs indeed a formidable power,â Beefballs said.
âSince Eternal Kingdom has so much combat power, why didnât they fully arm themselves and show up in a troop formation? Did Winterfell supply them the additional 20,000 weapons?â the adjutant asked, articulating his doubts.
âI donât know... perhaps the superior Devil has other plans. Since they have the power to be a dependable ally, I feel that we should meet them.â
Beefballs looked at his adjutant and said, âFishballs, contact their commander and check if our battle plans are compatible!â
âYes, sir!â
...
The green creatures of Eternal Kingdom were without discipline. They accumulated the dropped equipment and transported it back via the Teleport Portals.
Fishballs brought his well-armed personal Orc guards to the entrance of Eternal Kingdomâs camp.
Two Houndhead Men, who were wearing soiled equipment and laden with noisy equipment, dragged their load as they ran towards the camp.
As they ran, they muttered to one another.
âProfitable, itâs profitable. I only had White Standard equipment, but now I have Green Excellent equipment...â
âGosh, this Battle Campaign Scenario is awesome! My Reputation Points are in the negative zone since I bought quite a bit of equipment though.â
âIâm good. My Reputation Points are positive. Every time I am revived, I just charge and use my fists to fight. When I see a Short Sword, I pick it up and start hacking.â
âWah, you cheapskate. Arenât you embarrassed?â
The two Houndhead Men dragged their equipment while they ran and chatted.
Soon, they noticed the Gnome adjutant, Fishballs, and his personal guards.
âGosh, NPCs from Eternal Fire came over.â
A Houndhead Man elbowed the other Houndhead Man.
âI see him. Donât elbow me.â
The Houndhead Man kicked his comrade.
âWarriors of Eternal Kingdom.â Fishballs walked up to them and ignored their strange conversation as he said, âIâm the deputy commander of Eternal Fire. Iâd like to talk to your commander. We have to cooperate for the war.â
The two Houndhead Men looked at each other in disbelief. One of the Houndhead Men asked, âAre you giving us a mission?â
âMission? Itâs not a mission. Itâs more of a cooperation. Of course, if youâre willing to complete the missions, we wonât decline. Weâll provide some rewards.â
Fishballs didnât expect the Houndhead Men to mention the word âmissionâ, which was an order given by a superior to a subordinate. Fishballs and the Houndhead Men belonged to different Dungeons.
Perhaps it was due to the low intellect of the Houndhead Men, who would attack all other creatures recklessly.
âGosh! Is this a Strange Encounter Mission?â
âWeâre lucky!â
The two Houndhead Men talked softly before one of them stood up and braced their chest. The equipment clanked noisily.
âIâm the commander of the Eternal Kingdom Dungeon! Iâm GreenBeanPreciousLady. Tell me what missions you have for us. Weâll accept all missions. Can you tell us the rewards beforehand?â the Houndhead Man said.
Before Fishballs had the chance to reply, a sharp Short Sword penetrated GreenBeanPreciousLady. The grotesque blood splattered on Fishballsâ face.
GreenBeanPreciousLadyâs chest was a mess.
âShucks...â
GreenBeanPreciousLady screamed and looked angrily at the Houndhead Man behind them.
âSorry, GreenBeanPreciousLady, the Strange Encounter Mission is mine!â the Houndhead Man comrade said.
âD*mn, I just lent you 30 yuan to recharge your phone account yesterday...â
GreenBeanPreciousLady didnât complete her sentence because she couldnât speak.
She fell down to the ground with a thud.
Fishballs looked stunned at the incredible scene. His eyes almost popped.
The Houndhead Man that had just killed his comrade walked forward and smiled earnestly. His face was stained with the blood of his comrade. He said to Fishballs, âIâm DreamlessInsomniac, the most senior commander of Eternal Kingdom! Even Sherlie has to pay me respect. What Strange Encounter Mission do you have?â
Fishballs was stunned for a few seconds. Then he waved his hand and said, âArrest him!â
...
NotWearingPants carried a bundle of equipment. He wanted to transport it to his Living Quarters. This was his second trip.
A few Gnomes ran over and said, âNotWearingPants, come quickly! Thereâs a mission! An Eternal Fire NPC wants to speak to our commander! Come and do a live stream of the scene!â
NotWearingPants threw the equipment on the ground and followed the Gnomes.
A Gnome and a few Orcs were at the camp entrance. They arrested a Houndhead Man, DreamlessInsomniac. The gathered gamers were talking non-stop.
âGosh. Whatâs happening?â a Goblin called CarefreeCutey asked DreamlessInsomniac, who was being restrained.
âI donât know. I stabbed my comrade and was arrested. Shouldnât Sister Vanas be arrested and publicly paraded?â
âWhat nonsense. Without my courageous command, would we be able to repel the Ancient Gods army?â the angry Sylvanas shouted.
Fishballs noticed that more and more creatures were surrounding and touching them. They didnât know the meaning of propriety.
âTheir equipment looks awesome.â
âHands off the NPCs, theyâre here to assign missions.â
âShall we hack them?â
âCalm down, calm down. Wait for them to assign the missions!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The surrounding creatures said things that made the adjutant uneasy.
âI want to meet your highest ranking commander!â Fishballs shouted while the creatures from Eternal Kingdom were still sane.
