384 Magic Cannons Firing on the Dungeon (1/2)
Good and peaceful days were always short.
On the fifth day of the Dungeon War, as Patrick Star was running out of money to stay in Eternal Kingdom, the Morgan army finally arrived.
That was a normal morning, and Patrick Star was having his common clay and underground water.
The ground shook violently.
At first, Patrick Star thought that it was an earthquake.
However, there were shouts everywhere, and he quickly figured out that it wasn't an earthquake.
”Take a look! It's the Ogre army!”
”D*mn, the monsters are finally here?”
”Charge! Charge!”
The citizens of Eternal Kingdom were very excited, and none of them looked worried or fearful.
The reporters packed their belongings in a panic, looking to leave the Dungeon before it was attacked.
Patrick Star was packing his luggage amidst the chatter of a few reporters.
”This was a fruitful trip! The legendary Gnome, Arthur, is in a relationship with some Goblin called Raintea!”
”What? I heard that Arthur and Sylvanas were in love.”
”Who's Sylvanas?”
”What's the big deal? Do you know the Black Dragon that was sitting at the door collecting money? He only trims his fingernails once every ten days!”
”What! Once every ten days? That's big news!”
Patrick Star slowed down. Why did he become a reporter? He wondered why he wasn't intrigued by the news…
His eyes lit up. He wanted to report on this Dungeon War! A report based on a first-person perspective!
He had made up his mind.
He threw his luggage aside and ran outside the cave as though he was chasing after his dream.
However, he was restrained on the ground by a few guards outside the door. They were deployed to prevent the reporters from running around. Patrick Star shouted, ”I want to see Lord Sherlock! I want to be a frontline reporter! I want to report on the war from a first-person perspective! Give me a chance!”
An Orc rushed over and slapped him on the face as he shouted, ”Such impudence! Do you think you can see Sherlie anytime you like?”
The Orc then smiled at his comrades and said, ”Gosh, it feels good to slap an NPC and deliver such righteous dialogue. Can I perform such Daily Missions?”
”I have Magic Stones, I can give Magic Stones!” Patrick Star shouted immediately.
The Orc raised his palm, but he didn't slap Patrick Star. The Orc's expression changed many times as he helped Patrick Star up. He then said gently to Patrick Star, ”Dearest, walk slowly. There's a rock over there. Sherlie's in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall. Let's go and discuss things with him.”
…
Patrick Star spent 50 Magic Stones to obtain the right to stay in Eternal Kingdom as a frontline reporter.
Other reporters left Eternal Kingdom after obtaining basic news. As for news on the war, if they were able to interview a deserting soldier, that would suffice.
They didn't have to risk their lives.
Though Patrick Star stayed behind in Eternal Kingdom, nobody told him what to do or helped him. They were busy with the war.
Therefore, he had to depend on himself.
Patrick Star took out some Magic Stones and stopped a 5-member team. He recalled that one of them was Arthur, the Gnome Dark Rider. He said, ”I'm a Winterfell press reporter who is doing a report on the Dungeon War. Can you protect me? I'll pay you money.”
Patrick Star only had 10 Magic Stones, and he felt that it was insufficient to employ the five of them, so he quickly said, ”I'll only need two bodyguards. Just two of you will do.”
”What?” Sylvanas, who was an Orc, shouted loudly and gave Patrick Star a fright. He changed his tune and said, ”No, one bodyguard is enough. Is anyone willing to help me?”
”You asked for five of us, and now you're changing to one of us. It's difficult for us. Hand over the 10 Magic Stones, we'll protect you,” the Orc BurningChestHair said.
Patrick Star didn't expect to be able to employ five bodyguards with 10 Magic Stones, and they were Orcs! They even had quality equipment. Nobody would believe Patrick Star's luck.
Patrick Star was afraid they might change their minds, so he immediately paid the 10 Magic Stones.
He couldn't hide if he wanted to make a war report, so he followed Arthur's team to the Dungeon Walls. Along the way, more Orcs, Houndhead Men, and Goblins walked towards Arthur.
