Chapter 166 166:An Advice?[II]
A month had already passed away in the Shadowzone. The plan to clear it in 15 days has already gone to shit as the monster number was overwhelming.
As the sun flashed above the horizon, casting a golden glow across the rugged landscape, the base camp bustled with activity.
Soldiers moved steadily in an orderly manner, their boots kicking up dust as they hurried to their posts. Watchguards stood vigilant atop the towering wooden walls, their eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of trouble.
In the heart of the camp, the dungeon gate loomed imposingly, swirling like a vortex while bathing in the fading light.
Around it, the towers stood sentinel, their metal frames glinting in the last rays of sunlight.
Engineers tinkered with the intricate mechanisms, ensuring that each tower was ready to send and receive signals at a moment's notice.
The tower would send frequency signals through the gate that would be received by the towers outside.
Commanders barked orders, their voices cutting through the evening air as final preparations were made for the battles ahead.
At night torches were lit along the perimeter, casting flickering shadows on the ground below.
Scouts returned from their patrols, reporting back on enemy movements and potential threats.
Amidst the organized chaos, a sense of fear and horror permeated the air.
This base camp was not just a stronghold; it was a lifeline, connecting distant outposts and providing a crucial link in the chain of communication to the outside world while serving as a line of defense against the monster from invading their world.
However, despite the motivational speeches, a deadly and bleak atmosphere prevailed in the camp. Even those who managed to reach here, out of them many were injured, some lost their limbs, some their eyesight, and half of them were already dead.
As for the monster side, it didn't look as if death matters to them.
"Except our three corps, all other teams had suffered badly," Ian muttered with a sad look.
"We might have also suffered like this if Leon didn't warn us when we arrived first," Sander spoke solemnly.
"We would be dead, "Vikram muttered, giving everyone a shiver.
The memories of his death resurfaced once again making Leon drown in them.
'If I didn't make a comeback many of them would be dead by now. Each move of mine has many consequences.'
Leon was once again weighed down by weight over his shoulder. One can be carefree if his decision only affects him but it changes when it starts to affect others. This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
His every regression might affect the lives of thousands if not millions.
As the group chatted, a messenger shouted.
"Soldier Ian!"
"It's me?"Ian shouted, hearing his name.
"You have granted the permission to call."
"This is bullshit. If I say there is going to be a meteorite shower here then doesn't mean it is...."
He hadn't even finished his sentence when Sander and Vikram started screaming and cursing.
"FUCK YOU!"
"Leon, you asshole..."
"Damn! We are going to die, Vikram, look for cover."
'Aren't these fucker reacting too much?'
......
In a black Fortress, a man sat on the Throne with a grueling smile while listening to the report.
A few months ago, he was just a normal player of Lord Games where players fought for supremacy of their territories but later he died when his home was swept by a quake and was reborn in this abandoned realm.
After conquering every monster, and clearing out the zones he was finally ready to move to the next stage, and in the process, it was connected to the outside world.
''Once I swept their army, finished the quest, and upgraded to Rank 7 equivalent to Martial Saint Level to those outsiders I am gonna go out and conquer the world.''
"Kekkeek! I felt bored when I played before now everything becomes fun when it's real."
He had been seen as God by the natives and worshiped by monsters. The tribes inhabiting the place offer their women and support.
The life of the King was like a blessing.
He looked at the Marshal, an Orc named Sekkar, and his guards.
"Lord, relay your orders. I will personally rip the heads off those vile guys.
"The humans have almost 30000 troops meanwhile, we still have 100k. Let's crush them. Send 50k at once."
Avelin paused for a moment. He has barracks that generate troops but he can't be careless as it takes a huge amount of gold and most of the 100k monsters are at a low level.
The human army wasn't much but he noted three potential individuals.
A woman named Irina, Cameron, and a guy named Leon.
Though they didn't pose any danger for now, they were still troublesome.
Avelin tapped on the throne for a moment.
'I need to pay greatly to defeat them so why don't I cut the support first and troops around?'
'I should personally step out and sneak attack to gain experience.'
"After this battle, I can prepare for Rank 6 summons."
