270 Gamers Journey (1/2)
Apple walked at the front of the contingent. Behind him was a long trail of creatures of which there was no end.
There were more than a thousand gamers. News of the attack against the Ogres was posted quickly on the discussion forum.
During this period of time, there weren't many activities for the gamers except daily learning and the carrying of bricks. The only entertainment they had was the new Instance Dungeon, where they were being tortured.
The problem was that only a quarter of the gamers were qualified to enter the new Instance Dungeon.
The passion of the gamers was ignited when they heard of the request to defeat the Ogres that had occupied the Orcs' homeland.
Apple was very touched by the appearance of so many warriors. However, he had to solve the logistical problems of eating and sleeping.
According to norms, he should provide for food and lodging since they were helping him. He thought there would be at most 100 to 200 warriors, but now there were more than 1000 warriors. What was he to do?
Apple's worries were unnecessary. When it was time to eat, Apple was worried about distributing insufficient food. But the Goblins, Gnomes, and Houndhead Men didn't intend to stop and rest.
Apple had wanted to sit down to eat, but since nobody did that, he didn't dare to stop. It would be embarrassing if he was the only one to stop and eat. Moreover, he didn't bring sufficient food to share.
The large group marched in the tunnel while Beetlemons traversed in both directions. Some of the drivers were curious and asked them, ”Which college are you from? Are you going on a graduation tour?”
Not having meals was only a small problem. After the gamers marched orderly for a few hours, things started to crop up.
Suddenly, a gamer ran across the street and was crushed by a Beetlemon. It was only a small issue as it was an accident.
However, when two groups of creatures started hacking each other, Apple started to panic. What was the situation? Were they not from the same Eternal Kingdom? Were they not helping to deal with the Ogres? Why did they kill each other?
Apple thought that the rest of the creatures would stop the fight, but he was wrong. Nobody stopped them. Instead, they laughed while watching. Someone even said, ”I feel that Dragon Raja is slightly more powerful.”
”The Meat Vegetable Rice Alliance is pretty good too, but they have fewer members than Dragon Raja.”
”Why did they fight?”
”A devious girl tempted several of Dragon Raja's members and caused a manager of Dragon Raja to fight with his member. The manager was dismissed by the Dragon Raja Chairman btkangren. The manager left with his loyalists in a fit of anger and exposed the evil deeds of the Dragon Raja Guild. That devious girl was a secret agent sent by the Meat Vegetable Rice Alliance Guild!”
”Are you sure? That's exciting. Did the Meat Vegetable Rice Alliance Guild claim responsibility?”
”Why would they do that? The members of the two Guilds started quarreling, and it escalated into a full-scale battle.”
”Those gamers are pitiful. They will revive in Eternal Kingdom. There is no Teleport Portal for this mission. Will they be able to participate in this mission?”
”Those who are firm will follow the secret road signs to catch up. Those who aren't firm won't come back.”
Apple was feeling restless. He didn't dare to ask, and he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, the battle stopped after a short while. After leaving 20 to 30 corpses, they cursed at each other and retreated.
A reason was that there were no revival points. The second reason was that the bulk of the gamers didn't stop their marching. The fighting gamers had to stop their fighting to catch up with the contingent.
