Chapter 156 Mock Dungeon War (2)

The planning phase would last for thirty minutes and during this time, they were free to do whatever they wanted to make their dungeon.

Of course, there were limitations to this.

Each side would only be given 5000 DP to build the dungeon with. So that included the monsters, the layout of the dungeon, and any traps that they would want to install.

Their planning would determine how the battle went, so they had to make sure that they spent the 5000 DP as best as possible.

The other limitation was that there had to be a way to reach the dungeon core, or else it would be considered cheating. There was no way to hide the dungeon core in a separate location and have the enemy raid the fake dungeon.

But the 5000 DP wasn't the only factor that went into this mock dungeon war.

There were two other factors that were very important, which was the battlefield and hero units.

There were no limitations to hero units, so any hero units that the two sides had before the battle could be freely deployed into the dungeon war.

This was a rule that benefited the side that had more hero units, but this was something that all the dungeon cores accepted. There should be no fairness in the dungeon wars to begin with, but this was a form of battle that had been set by their father, so they couldn't do anything about it.

They could only add this rule in after appealing to their father to give themselves the advantage.

When it came to hero units though, it was natural that dungeon core 627 had the advantage since she had been born much longer than Rokuko. She had more time to accumulate DP and summon hero units.

The only hero unit that Lin Fan and Rokuko had was Moo, the minotaur that Rokuko had summoner before.

Most of the DP that they earned went into improving the dungeon and town itself, so they had never really spent any DP in summoning more hero units.

This was something that Lin Fan regretted now, but there was no pill for regret.

He made a silent mental note to summon a few more hero units after this dungeon conference.

The other factor was the battlefield which was the ice battlefield that had been decided earlier.

In this mock dungeon war, the two sides would be sent to random locations on the battlefield and they would have to find each other before they could start attacking.

This rule had been set to add some "variations to the battle" as their father had said, but since it was a rule that came from their father, they all accepted it.

Most dungeon cores felt that it was better to just fight directly by connecting the dungeons and fighting with their summoned creatures.

Since it was the ice battlefield that was chosen, that meant that they would be fighting on a field covered in ice and snow. This was a field where if one didn't have the proper protection, they would be frozen in an instant.

Naturally this kind of battlefield favoured dungeon core 627 since she was someone with an ice based dungeon. She was used to using ice monsters and could command them more effectively on this ice battlefield.

So with all these factors, Lin Fan had to design a dungeon that would ensure that he would be able to win.

The thirty minutes passed by quickly and soon it was time for the dungeon war to begin.

Both sides had been inside their dungeon making their last minute preparations when suddenly they were summoned in front of all the other dungeon cores. They were brought to the spectator area where all the dungeon cores were watching their preparations on the big screen.

After they had been summoned, True Dragon Lord Astaroth said, "This is a demonstration of our newcomer's might, but how about we make this a little more interesting?"

After saying that, True Dragon Lord Astaroth turned to Haku and asked, "How about making a little bet?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent and waited for Haku's reaction.

Everyone knew that this wasn't just a simple bet, but rather this was a confrontation between the aggressive and friendly factions. There were even some people who suspected that this was True Dragon Lord Astaroth's goal all along.

Haku just revealed a smile and asked, "What kind of bet are you suggesting?"

True Dragon Lord Astaroth said with a smile, "Well let's make it simple. How about we bet on which one of them will win?"

Haku asked with the same smile, "That's fine, but since it's a bet, that must mean that there is something being gambled." Her eyes turned a bit cold as she said, "What are you looking for?"

Everyone held their breath when they heard this as they knew that the climax was coming. They just all eagerly looked at True Dragon Lord Astaroth, waiting for him to speak.

But True Dragon Lord Astaroth wasn't in a hurry as he casually said, "Now, now, let's not talk about that just yet. How about we pick sides to bet on first?"

He then walked over to dungeon core 627 and put his hands on her shoulder before saying, "I'll take this side if that's alright with you."

The main reason why True Dragon Lord Astaroth had chosen dungeon core 627 for this role was because he knew that she looked up to him. It wasn't a normal level of respect, but rather it was a level of respect where she basically worshiped him.

When he had put his hand on her shoulders, she looked up to him with sparkling eyes.

,m With how much she looked up to him, it was easy for him to use her as a puppet. After all, she would do anything she could to prove herself to him and that would allow him to convince her to do whatever he wanted.

However, Haku didn't seem to mind at all as she came over to Lin Fan's side and said, "Then I'll take this side since it's the side that I wanted to take in the first place."

True Dragon Lord Astaroth had a look on his face that seemed like he didn't believe it, but he didn't expose her as he said, "Now, let's talk about terms."

Haku narrowed her eyes and asked in a slightly cold voice, "What do you want?"

True Dragon Lord Astaroth wasn't scared at all by this and just casually said, "It's just a small bet, it's not anything that important. All I want is that little white ball of yours when I win."

Everyone took a cold breath when they heard this.

These dungeon cores had known each other for hundreds of years, so they had plenty of information about each other. Naturally they knew what True Dragon Lord Astaroth was referring to when he said 'little white ball'.

Haku slightly knitted her brows when she heard this, but to True Dragon Lord Astaroth's surprise, she didn't lose his temper. Instead, she said with a smile, "Alright, but I want your little red claw when I win."

True Dragon Lord Astaroth knitted his brows when he heard this as everyone else gave a gasp.

This bet wasn't as simple as it sounded since neither of the items that these two requested were simple items. They were both items that any dungeon core would drool over and could be considered treasures for both of these two…

But they were using it for a simple bet like this…

It seemed like they really were out for blood.

After a pause, True Dragon Lord Astaroth gave a nod and said, "Alright, but I'll have to thank you for your little white ball ahead of time."

Without even caring about Haku's answer, he turned to leave. However, there was someone else that came forward and surprised him.

This was a serious looking man with a pair of square glasses who looked quite normal, but the aura that he gave off was anything but normal. Just a single glance was enough for people to understand that this person was dangerous.

This man with the glasses was Chronos, the number 5 dungeon core and more importantly, the leader of the neutral faction.

Everyone was surprised to see him suddenly stepping forward at this time, but they were even more shocked by what he said.

Chronos' voice was just like him, serious and strict.

"I want to join this bet as well."

Everyone looked at him as if they were trying to figure out just what he was thinking, but not a single person was able to understand.

Finally True Dragon Lord Astaroth asked with narrowed eyes, "Chronos, what are you planning on doing?"

Chronos looked right at True Dragon Lord Astaroth and calmly said, "Astaroth, isn't this just a fun bet? Why are you making such a big deal about it?"

Everyone knitted their brows even more when they heard this. After all, every single one of them knew that as soon as this bet was made, this was no longer a small matter. It had become a big deal that involved two of the three factions.

Now with Chronos joining in, this matter involved all three of the factions.

True Dragon Lord Astaroth knitted his brows as said, "Then who are you betting on?"

Chronos acted like he was thinking before coming over to Lin Fan's side as well and saying, "I think I like this side better."

True Dragon Lord Astaroth's face sank when he saw this.
