Hello, World

Count Philip is now fully conscious.

At least that's what he thinks.

People were puzzled by his order to seal off the underground city, Sally openly opposed it, arguing that at this time, all the energy should be focused on cleaning up the mess, so why fight the underground city to the death?

But the Earl ignored all these questions.

As long as he is alive, he is the highest authority in the Bede Family, and no one dares to disobey his orders.

Moreover, the people of the Light Eagle Legion are still on his side for the time being. The two captains, along with their elite mercenaries, number only about a hundred, but they are enough to contend with the guards of the entire Bede City.

"Have you thought it through? Do you need us to take action?"

Simon, that's the name of another Light Eagle Legion leader. He was the one who gave Philip a well-intentioned reminder, but it wasn't heeded.

"I beg you all," Count Philip bowed solemnly, "Please make sure to bring out the Purple Blood Crystal; it is my last hope."

What time is it? Why are you still thinking about the Purple Blood Crystal?

But Count Philip knew this was his only lifeline.

The reason His Majesty the King temporarily entrusted him with the ownership of the Zane Dungeon and sent two captains of the Light Eagle Legion to assist him was for one thing— the Blood Therapy Potion.

For the King, who was suffering from illness, injecting Blood Therapy Potion was the only way to relieve his pain; no magic could compare to blood therapy!

He was taking large doses of Blood Therapy Potion every day, and almost all the blood flowing through his body was being replaced by the medicine.

However, drug resistance develops at this point.

From a single Blood Therapy Potion lasting a week, the duration gradually shortened to a day, then to an hour; ordinary products could no longer meet his needs.

We must increase the dosage and concentration!

However, excessively high concentrations of Blood Therapy Potion are also harmful to the body. The King was already using the highest concentration possible while minimizing harm; any higher would...

The quality of Blood Therapy Potion must be improved.

Purple Blood Crystal is a rare treasure among treasures, extremely rare. When used to make Blood Therapy Potion, its effects are dozens of times greater than ordinary versions, and it also has more miraculous benefits.

After the anomaly in the Zane Dungeon, the workers only managed to collect a single piece of Purple Blood Crystal the size of a fingernail. The potion made from it allowed the King to live a normal life for three weeks!

Its effects are miraculous.

Count Philip was very clear about his own position; his only value to the King was in making Blood Therapy Potion.

If I could offer a large quantity—no, even just a small box of Purple Blood Crystal —and use it to make a Blood Therapy Potion to present to the King, then I would surely receive the King's protection and overcome the crisis brought by the Shadow Brotherhood!

He had done too many shady things and had too many enemies. At this moment, he could not think of any other solution but to rely on the King.

If he fails to secure enough resources for protection, the King will no longer care about him, and at most will send new minions to mine Bloodstone after the fall of the Bede Family.

Why didn't the King send strong warriors to plunder the Purple Blood Crystal?

Firstly, because Bede City is located in a relatively remote area, the strong are all enjoying themselves in the city, so who would want to come here? Secondly, Count Philip is always able to provide a large amount of Blood Therapy Potion in a timely manner, and he is good at making grand promises to the King to leave him with a sense of anticipation.

If the dog is good, let's use it for now and have dog meat hot pot when we get hungry.

As for why the Zane Dungeon was sealed off.

The Light Eagle Legion has always operated in this way: domineering, selfish, and suspicious of everyone.

They do not allow outsiders to approach, even if adventurers entering the dungeon would not affect their work.

Anyway, they have the support of the royal family, and ordinary adventurers can't resist them at all.

Count Philip, on the other hand, was motivated by revenge. He felt that all these troubles were caused by Saine, and that the place was unlucky.

The hit songs composed by the adventurers infuriated him, and he wanted to retaliate at any moment.

You asked him why he didn't post a quest asking adventurers to help him find the Purple Blood Crystal?

The Bede Family has offended everyone terribly; who would want to take their commissions?

The portal to the Zane Dungeon was quickly placed under lockdown.

The adventurers were forcibly driven outside the ancient city and were not allowed to enter the dungeon. Anyone who tried to resist would be beaten up by the mercenaries of the Light Eagle Legion.

Each of these mercenaries is qualified to be rated as a Silver Rank adventurer. Although they are not as elite as Si Telan, they still have an advantage when facing a group of adventurers.

Moreover, mercenaries have far more experience in killing than adventurers who are always dealing with monsters; there is a difference between specializing in attacking humans and specializing in attacking monsters.

The adventurers kept cursing, but that was all they could do.

Someone thought of Leon and his Strategy Team. If they were there, they would never have let the Light Eagle Legion be so audacious!

Unfortunately, these bigwigs of Bede City are all away right now, which has led to the locals being bullied.

With the support of the Light Eagle Legion, the guards finally regained their former arrogance, staring smugly at the adventurers as if they were watching a farce.

Although they still dare not confront the adventurers directly, once Lord Philip has settled everything, they will definitely have a good talk with the adventurers and get back at them for all the humiliation they have suffered these past few days.

However, amidst the noisy crowd, a black-haired figure silently watched this side.

It is Gong Qiying.

He rushed over to check the situation as soon as he heard the news, only to find that the Light Eagle Legion was sealing Zane Dungeon.

How dare these people do that?

This is no ordinary arrogance; we must strike hard! In a moment, I'll summon the strongest monsters to block the door; kill them one by one, kill them in pairs!

However, simply killing people in the dungeon won't solve anything.

Even though the Light Eagle Legion was wiped out this time, Count Philip can still continue to seal off the underground city until he gets what he wants, or until his enemies drag him down completely.

Once he gets what he wants, he can consolidate his power. After consolidating his power, he will inevitably continue to prioritize the workers of the Bede Family and then collect taxes.

If they don't get what they want, the Bede Family will fall from power and collapse, but it's impossible to predict what kind of person the next manager will be.

As Gong Qiying continued to think, his anger gradually rose, and he wished he could wipe out the entire Light Eagle Legion along with the Bede Family.

Whether it's him or the adventurer, everyone just wants to live a good life, so why are there always clueless guys coming to cause trouble?

Demon race, Bede Family and the Light Eagle Legion, Calamity Nest Dungeon

Gong Qiying really dislikes all this mess. His original intention was to design dungeons and create a love-hate relationship with the adventurers.

However, reality did not allow him to relax. Whether it was the greedy Bede Family, the domineering and selfish Light Eagle Legion, or other dungeons with unclear motives and uncertain friend or foe, all of them added various unstable factors to his dungeon construction.

Can't everyone just behave themselves?

[Detected: The dungeon is surrounded by a large number of malicious units; the dungeon lord's emotions are fluctuating significantly.]

[Zane Dungeon, temporarily converted into an open dungeon]

The ferocious beast is ready to be unleashed.

"Listen up, everyone. Although our Light Eagle Legion has experienced countless battles, large and small, fighting humans and fighting monsters are fundamentally different. No one can afford to be careless."

"You are far stronger than those rabble, far stronger than the adventurers. Believe in your own strength, believe in our Light Eagle!"

"It's just a mere underground city. Watch us tear it to shreds with our claws! We'll turn this place into ruins!"

Ge Erka delivered his pre-war speech loudly.

Count Philip felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. "If you demolish the underground city, how am I supposed to survive?"

"With the commander busy with important matters, we must win every mission. Success is the only option; failure is not an option!"

He waved his hand, pointed at the teleportation portal, and declared passionately:

"Plunder to your heart's content, trample to your heart's content, my brothers!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

The crowd was indignant. Ge Erka was very satisfied with the effect of his speech. He glanced at Simon and took the lead in walking towards the portal.

As the team leader, he should lead by example.

"Tap, tap, tap"

As he stepped one leg into the portal, he suddenly heard a strange sound.

It sounded like horses' hooves, but why was it so heavy? As if it were encased in Iron Ball.

The next second, sensing the threat, he quickly retreated. Almost at the same time, a Golden Halberd gleaming with golden light slammed heavily onto the spot where he had been standing!

The ground cracked and rocks collapsed, and the sudden change silenced the entire scene.

"Tap, tap, tap,"

Something has emerged.

"Ghrū."

An adventurous bystander swallowed hard, pointed tremblingly at the portal, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"A monster! A monster has appeared!"

Chaos erupted at the scene. Amidst the shouts of the crowd, a gigantic golden knight and his beloved horse slowly emerged from the portal.

The midday sun shone on his armor, making it gleam with the unique brilliance of gold.

This is the first greeting from the Zane Dungeon to the world.

The Tree Sentinel here!

[The Tree Sentinel]

[Spirit Power Required per Unit: 1500]

Overall combat strength: C+

"This is--"

This was the first time in Ge Erka's life he had ever seen anything like it. Why, why were the monsters able to leave the dungeon?!

Sally, standing some distance away, gaped, nearly collapsing to the ground, and muttered to herself:

"Rampage."

The Hero Elsa helped Sally up. He looked at the figure of the Tree Sentinel and wondered whether he should intervene.

Simon was the first to react, shouting to Ge Erka, "Let's go together and take it down!"

The reason the monster left the dungeon is unclear, but with the two captains' strength, defeating one monster should be more than enough.

The sound of horses' hooves came again, and a second Tree Sentinel emerged from the portal.

Two Tree Sentinel stared intently at him.

Simon froze as he drew his weapon.

This isn't over yet.

More monsters have appeared!

Behind the portal were pairs of eyes flashing red light.

[Zinogre], [Flying Dragon Agheel], [Stone Mining Hill Troll], [Black Knight], [Lion Hybrid].

My temperature is 38 degrees Celsius. I stayed up all night, but I finally managed to finish today's update.

Due to health reasons, I haven't been able to update more frequently. To make it up to everyone, I will try my best to update three times a day for the rest of this month, and even strive for four or five times a day.

We'll talk about the reward next month after we've compensated everyone.

I'm about to fall into a coma. Hope you all enjoy watching.
