Chapter 99 Prelude to the Golden Age
Some time ago, the elite adventurers of Bed City disappeared collectively, and the remaining people were bullied by the Light Eagle Regiment and the Guards. It was so depressing.
Everyone thought that the strategy team went to other dungeons after completing the Thane dungeon.
Their return now is a shot in the arm for everyone!
"Yahoo, hello everyone, meow,"
Malu waved to everyone with full energy, but the atmosphere in the guild was a little off.
"What's the matter? Everyone looks so panicked."
"Maluo, stop teasing us," Leon, whose blonde hair was still brilliant, rubbed Maluo's head helplessly, and the latter chuckled.
Tel and Drew looked at the familiar decoration of the Adventurer's Guild and couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but with a powerful enemy at the door, how could they feel truly at ease unless they completely eliminated the monsters?
"I've heard about it,"
Leon cleared his throat and said solemnly: "The most important thing right now is to protect the city. We must not let the monsters invade the interior of Bed City, and we must not let them harm civilians."
"I have both good and bad impressions of this city, but no matter what, this is where I live day and night, and I will never hand it over to the monsters!"
"This is my duty as an adventurer!"
I don’t know what he went through outside, but Leon’s temperament became more mature and his face looked weathered. If you look closely, he seems to have grown taller and his physique is stronger.
Maybe he would lie in front of others just to save face before, but now he would never do such a thing.
Not only Leon, but Tel also grew taller and became more muscular, looking more like a qualified orc.
As for Drew, his racial factors did not allow him to grow taller, but his mild hunchback was cured and he looked refreshed.
"I'll help too, meow~"
Malu has changed the least, only her hair has grown longer and she looks more gentle than before.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was exposed.
The adventurers looked at each other, most of them smiled and shouted:
"That's right, protect the city! I want to help!"
"My sword is thirsty."
Even the old man who was sweeping the floor put down his broom and said righteously:
"I used to be an adventurer, until I was shot in the knee with an arrow. Give me a weapon, and I can still fight!"
Then he was pushed into the lounge by the thin girl at the front desk with a helpless look on her face.
Some people looked hesitant, and they would probably not participate in the battle and would most likely run away secretly.
Of course, no one can force them or blame them, whether they choose to stay and fight or choose to leave.
“Everyone is very motivated,”
Accompanied by rhythmic clapping, Sid walked down the stairs with a smile on his old face.
"The Adventurer's Guild will issue an emergency commission - to protect the city of Bed. All participants can obtain corresponding benefits from the guild based on their contribution. The specific rules will be announced later."
As soon as this was said, more people responded to Leon's call. Only with rewards can there be motivation. This is very reasonable whether it is applied to operating a dungeon or elsewhere.
"Mr. Sid," Leon walked up to Sid and said, "Do you know why the rampage happened in the Sean Underground City?"
He obviously had a good impression of the Sen Dungeon, not only because it was the first dungeon he had ever passed, but also because of the legendary stories and various props that made him stronger.
Sid did not answer his question, but patted his shoulder, squeezed it, and praised: "The Sword Saint has really trained you well. You have made such obvious progress in just a few days. It is only a matter of time before you become a gold-level player in the future."
"Thank you for lending us the precious teleportation magic scroll, otherwise we wouldn't have found the Sword Master so quickly," Leon said sincerely.
Sid nodded and said, "Go to the actual combat and let me see your progress."
"Um,"
Leon clenched the straight sword in his hand. He also wanted to see how strong he would become after the special training.
The straight sword exudes a faint magical power, and is attached with the reward obtained from the Sen Dungeon - Great Kalia.
Speaking of which, my sister's birthday is almost here, so it's time to go back.
The mobilization effect of the Adventurer's Guild was very good, but the decisions made by other forces with combat power were different.
Church of Holy Light, Bed City Branch.
Divine music was playing softly in the church, the stained glass windows cast colorful lights, and the statue of the God of Light, whose face could not be seen, looked down at all living beings.
"Albud, there is chaos in that dungeon,"
The hunched bishop raised his head and stared at the Holy Light Knight with burning eyes.
Albud is a Knight of Holy Light who once explored the dungeon with Leon. He is also the vice-captain of the Knights of Holy Light in the Bed branch.
Only the knight leaders of the Holy Light Church headquarters can be called the leader or deputy leader, while those in the branches are called captains.
At this moment, he still had that familiar expression - a stern face.
"Is this the dungeon with the blessing of God that you promised me? The dungeon with the method to communicate with my God?"
The bishop looked angry.
"I think it's a dungeon contaminated by demons! If it weren't for your assurance, I would have declared it a divine enemy and summoned the Knights to destroy it!"
Albud bowed his head and said nothing. After a moment, he said, "The evil deeds of the Light Eagle Group and Count Philip have angered the underground city. This is legitimate defense."
The bishop was about to say something, but Albud suddenly raised his head and shouted, "As the most staunch believer of my God, my God-given eyes will judge whether anything is heresy!"
There was a gleam of religious fanaticism in his eyes. He did not look at the bishop, but stared straight at the statue.
“.”
The bishop paused and said, "I believe you, Albud. You are the most devout and fanatical believer of our God. I can doubt anyone except you. Your loyalty is known to everyone."
He waved his hand and shook the scepter in his hand.
"Go, lead the Knights, and calm the anger in the dungeon, if necessary."
There was a sinister gleam in the bishop's eyes.
"It would be a good idea to kill the earl to appease the anger."
After leaving the church.
There was no one around, and Albud's stern face finally relaxed. A trace of fatigue appeared on his face, which was nearly forty years old.
“It’s so tiring to pretend.”
Lord's residence.
Count Philip was out of breath and coughed for a long time before he said in a panic:
"Call all guards, defend the city walls! No one is allowed to retreat!"
"Sally, where are your companions? Where did the hero go?"
He stared at Sally intently. The brave man was the greatest guarantee of safety at this moment.
"Elsa went to rescue people,"
Sally was a little shocked by her father's appearance. Earl Philip looked more like a wounded beast than a human being.
When did my father change so much?
"Rescue people? It's already this late, and you're still letting her go to rescue people? What are you learning from me?"
Count Philip was furious, but Sally retorted:
"That's the duty of a hero. If you watch someone get killed by a monster and don't take action, are you still a hero?"
"you!"
Earl Philip pointed at Sally and was speechless. He suddenly found the child so strange.
How dare you talk back to me!
"My Lord Earl!"
At this moment, the servant came over in a panic.
"Monsters, monsters have arrived at the city! The Light Eagle Group is resisting!"
The inner wall of Bed City is forty to fifty meters high.
This exaggerated height originated from the ancestors of the Bed family. It is said that their ancestors encountered a giant when they followed the first king to conquer the world. The hundred-meter-tall giant left Earl Bed with deep fear, so he began to build a large-scale project. However, in the end, due to lack of funds, only half of the project was completed.
The outer wall of the city was ordinary. At this moment, the Light Eagle Regiment and the temporarily organized guards were hurriedly carrying the supplies needed to defend the city.
Dark masses of monsters were rushing towards the city walls, and wherever they went, overwhelming dark clouds covered the area.
Gelka and Elsa stood on the city wall, the former sighed:
"This is the first time I've seen so many monsters. The scale of the battle is much larger than the one we had in the Inkstone Plains."
He glanced at Elsa secretly, only to see that the girl was staring at the monster in a trance and was not paying attention to his topic.
He was a little disappointed that he couldn't brag about his past experiences, but he still said:
"You are quite capable, girl. What's your name? Are you interested in joining our Light Eagle Group? We will provide you with preferential treatment."
Gelka thought for a moment and said:
"Looking at your great strength, the commander will probably let you be the leader of the commando team."
"My name is Ai"
Elsa paused suddenly, she remembered Sally's instructions:
"Listen carefully, don't tell your real name to suspicious people outside, especially men who seem to have bad intentions. You don't know that some charm magic can be cast through names!"
Although this was meant to scare Elsa, Elsa, who obviously lacked social experience, took it as the truth.
You could call her innocent or stupid, the only thing on her mind is killing the demons, and she can't think of anything else.
"My name is Gus,"
Elsa named herself after a main character in a comic book she had read, and asked a confusing question:
"Can you find companions by joining the Light Eagle Group?"
Gelka was stunned. He stared at the girl's expression for a while, confirmed that she was not joking, then laughed and said:
"There is no such thing as companions in the Light Eagle Group,"
Elsa's eyes flashed with disappointment.
However, Gelka changed the subject, opened his arms and said:
"We are all family. How can a family be called companions?"
Elsa's eyes lit up.
"How about it, do you want to join?" Gelka laughed and said, "I'll tell you a secret, the leader is a handsome guy, you will definitely be moved when you see him!"
Unfortunately, before Elsa could reply, the guard on lookout blew the horn.
This means war is imminent!
"What a pity,"
Gelka made a "tsk" sound, waved his hand, and said, "Let's talk about it after we survive this battle. Wish me good luck and you good luck, we must survive."
Elsa nodded.
She held the giant sword that was bigger than the door panel, and suddenly felt that life had more hope.
"roar!"
The flying dragon Yakir spewed out a breath of dragon fire towards the city wall.
The undead army rushed towards the city wall one after another. Even though they knew they would be the first victims, they would use piles of bones to create stairs for their king to climb the city wall.
The golem pulled the giant bow and shot an arrow as big as a battering ram at the city wall!
The monster siege has begun.
Let’s finish this storyline tomorrow!
