Chapter 485 Too Loud
Karl led the group out of the dungeon, and immediately wished that he had put earplugs in.
There were now dozens of monsters surrounding the Orcish tribe, which had encircled the dungeon entrance. It was a good thing that they had parked the wagon well out of the way, as it was still intact, but the others were trying to force their way in, and Chieftain World Smasher wasn't going to let them do that.
At least not before his team came back out, and perhaps not before his whole Clan had gone inside.
Chieftain World Smasher smiled at Karl when he saw the team come out.
"Was it worth it?"
Karl nodded and moved to whisper to the Orc. "It will activate a system interface for everyone who completes the dungeon, but you need at least one or two powerful Commanders and a healer to actually do it."
The Chieftain nodded, then began shouting something in Orcish. Groups of ten began to back away from the defensive lines, running into the dungeon entrance, while the other forces howled in rage.
"Should I talk to them? I think we can arrange for everyone to get a shot." Karl offered. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"After the Yellow Tusk Clan. We earned this place. If it is going to close, we will be the ones to use it."
Karl nodded and took his place beside the Chieftain with the others who had finished their run, then stepped forward to be in between the Orcs and the leaders of the other factions.
"The Yellow Tusk Orcs received this anomaly as a Divine Blessing from the gods after an appeal for mercy. Once they have sent their warriors, the Dungeon will be free for anyone else to enter. Chieftain World Breaker gives his word that he won't block access after all his people have entered." Karl announced.
The three Demons and an Ogre that were standing closest to him gave Karl a skeptical look, but the Orcs were already pouring into the dungeon portal ten at a time, giving the portal only a short break between entries.
"That Anomaly won't last forever, why should a tribe full of stupid Orcs get it. Let us in, or we will let ourselves in." The Ogre demanded.
A group of trolls turned their way, led by a massive Mountain Troll, four metres tall, with skin that looked like cracked granite. They all looked like they were from the same clan, but some were much smaller, near human sized, and some were hardly larger than Cara, but didn't seem to be children.
Perhaps they were, Karl wasn't an expert on Troll biology, but the size didn't scale with their strength. Some of the small ones were Commanders.
A roughly human sized troll with the granite skin of this tribe stopped in front of Thor as Karl brought the wagon to a stop.
Everyone was on edge, and they all had weapons out, but it was obvious that the trolls wanted to talk.
"Did you see a Dungeon?" The troll asked, struggling with the human words.
"No. But there is a big fight behind us. Follow our tracks and you will see it. That might be the dungeon, if there is one in the area." Karl suggested.
The troll nodded once, then the whole group started running. They even picked up the little ones so they could make better time.
That was a signal for the groups behind them, who took off running after the trolls, and the ones behind them, who thought those groups had discovered something.
After an hour of follow the leader, another of the groups, made up of violet skinned demons, ran up to the wagon to talk to them.
"Did you pass by the dungeon?" The Demon asked.
"I assume so. There is a huge fight going on a couple of hours back. Everyone is going wild about whatever is there, and honestly, I want nothing to do with it. If it's still there next week, I might come back and take a look."
The Demon laughed. "If it's still there next week, we can count ourselves fortunate, but I doubt that the situation will have gotten any better. Have you got anything to trade?"
Karl shook his head. "The last we had was a bunch of dried salmon that we traded to the Yellow Tusk Orcs. How much further to the city? With all this chaos, I don't want to be out here tonight."
"It's a half hour away, but the sun has already set. The gates are locked for the night. There is a campground outside the city, but I would stay here. It's safer."
