Chapter 32 - (32) Under Attack! (2/2)

”So what are you going by now? It's dangerous to use real names.” He looked at the woman as she picked up the infant that had just woken up.

She had long brown hair that dropped towards the middle of her back. Her height was around 5' 10”, she had long legs and a very nice figure. Freckles were dotting her cheeks.

”I'm going by Jen now.” She replied.

”Easy enough.” When they were younger, if they'd had a girl they would have named her Jenna. It wasn't something he would forget.

”So, here's the deal...” He proceeded to explain to them about the Dungeon he'd conquered, and the implications behind the ownership. He also made sure to include that there were limited slots.

The pair listened on with interest, but their faces slowly twisted into horror as he explained to them that the Mana would forcefully have creatures target settlements.

The bigger the settlement, the stronger the waves. Each wave getting progressively more difficult. After he was finished explaining, Bruce quickly stood up.

”I need to gather the men as quickly as possible to rip down the structures.” He said, but before he could take a step, two men ran through the doorframe. They were completely out of breath. It was as if they'd sprinted there.

Til was one of the men, the other was Alex, Jen's husband. Alex was a shorter man, around 5'8”, he had blonde hair and blue eyes. His arms were muscular, but otherwise, he was a bit out of shape. Mostly from his time spent streaming games.

Still, he was in much better shape than Geth when he'd first fallen into this mess. Alex took a moment to collect himself, before letting out, ”The woodline... Goblins... Hundreds!” He was struggling to speak through the heavy breaths.

Til caught his breath quicker and said in his place, ”There's an army of Goblins over at the treeline. All of them are sword carriers! There are also Assassins and what look like Mages mixed in! They are just standing there, it looks like they are waiting for something.”

Everyone stood there in silence, Bruce just gaped. He then glanced back at Geth, thinking about the information he'd just given him.

They all jumped into action. Geth quickly added Jen to his Grimoire link and sent her the coordinates for the Dungeon. He told Til to get her, the baby, and his son, who was now going by Luke, out of there.

Alex agreed with the decision and made sure he said his goodbyes before they took off. Bruce looked at Geth strangely.

”You're not going with them?” He asked.

Geth just smiled at him, while slapping his shoulder ”And miss out on this experience? Are you kidding?”

Bruce seemed like he was about to tear up. He thought that Geth just didn't want to admit that he was staying to help them.. Geth knew what was on the man's mind, but he didn't bother correcting him, he was actually staying for the experience.
