The battle against the Ancient Gods ended in victory.
The investigation lasted many days. After that, there was an initial investigation report. Sherlock received a copy of it.
”Battle of Winterfell and Ancient Gods Investigation Report”
”Senior management of the Merchant Alliance and various Dungeon Lords, not long ago, due to mismanagement of Winterfell and outside infiltration, the Ancient Gods corrupted Winterfell. Finally, after everyone's efforts, especially Eternal Kingdom's great sacrifices, we managed to stop the Ancient Gods' plot. However, we have to be vigilant.
Winterfell decided to restructure the management and strengthen the management and background checks.
As one of the Dungeon Lords of Eternal Fire, Octopus Ball was the incident perpetrator. Though he was destroyed by Lord Sherlock after much effort, he brought great calamity to Winterfell. After losing many excellent warriors, countless pieces of equipment, and a precious Dungeon Core, the Merchant Alliance will deal appropriately with Eternal Fire for a resolution.
Remnants of the Ancient Gods believers were still hidden deep within Winterfell. In the following days, we will be…”
Sherlock put down the report.
He was together with some Dungeon Lords, the Winterfell management, and Dungeon Lord Onionhead.
”Dungeon Lords, the Merchant Alliance has invited you here to thank you for your outstanding contributions in this battle.”
The Devil Lords braced their chests.
Onionhead looked at Sherlock and said, ”Especially Lord Sherlock. Without you and your warriors, we wouldn't be sitting here having this meeting.”
Sherlock looked at Onionhead's awkward expression and said, ”It's nothing much. As the neighbor of Winterfell and a collaborative partner of the Merchant Alliance, it's what I should do. But it's a pity for my warriors who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for the battle. Their families will be mourning. After losing their sole breadwinners, they may have to live in hunger.”
”Lord Sherlock, don't worry, your death compensation application has been submitted. The compensation for 20,000 Gnomes, 10,000 Goblins, and 10,000 Houndhead Men will be processed. It's the first time that Houndhead Men fought for the Underworld inhabitants, so we don't have precedence for the compensation,” Onionhead said with embarrassment.
”No problem, I can understand your difficulties,” Sherlock nodded and said.
It was understandable that the efficiency was low for a huge organization like the Merchant Alliance.
”Next, I'll discuss with all of you the details of the remuneration…”
Onionhead looked at the various Dungeon Lords.
The remuneration was about Magic Stones and business benefits. The main points were to assist in creating Merchant routes, allowing the sale of Dungeons' products, free use of the Merchant Alliance's tunnels, and other benefits.
Besides that, Sherlock also received other benefits like half a year's logging rights for Underground Forest No. 3, which was proposed by Sherlock.
