Chapter 802 - In a Difficult Position (2/2)

They weren’t so certain without reason because in the game, the Eastern Plains couldn’t hold on any longer after the Munn Kingdom crumbled. Instead of fleeing their territory, the Eastern Plains made a secret move and blew up entirely!

The Eastern Plains was about 10,000 square kilometers wide and yet every inch of it had been blown up completely by its own people. It was the scariest explosion the players had witnessed in their lives. The white glaring radiance erupted across the land, burst into the clouds, and was clearly visible from Casabianca in the distance. The ground shook and waves crashed as though the omen of the end of the world. After the horrific explosion ended, the curious players gathered and were almost scared out of their wits. The mountain ranges of the Eastern Plains became a deep, bottomless pit as though an invisible, enormous hand had dug into it!

From the start, the players suspected if it was one of the latest weapons created by the Country of Darkness. But the players of the Munn Kingdom quickly learned that it was the doings of the Eastern Plains’ people because earlier on, the players had received a mission to help the Eastern Plains complete a ‘crucial ritual’. After completing the mission, the players were transported away immediately. Even though they didn’t know what exactly was going on, they witnessed an explosion in the Eastern Plains clearly…

This was why even the inexperienced players determined that there was a top secret hidden in the Eastern Plains. If not, the Eastern Plains didn’t need to take things so far. A territory with 100,000 people all vanished in a puff of smoke! Not even a nuclear bomb was that powerful, so how did they do it?

It was a pity that this secret also disappeared in the black billows of smoke.

This was the impression the Eastern Plains had given to everyone—tough, powerful, and mysterious—which was also why the nobles of the Munn Kingdom believed that Rhode was born in the Eastern Plains. The people of the Eastern Plains mostly had black hair and pupils and were mysterious and formidable.

This went to show that the Eastern Plains was definitely not a peaceful place. In the early stages of the game, it was a highly restricted area where players couldn’t enter recklessly. Rhode’s fire elemental creatures could deal with the low-level creatures easily, but they would be completely powerless against high-level creatures like the Skeletal Trolls.

What gave Rhode a huge headache was that there seemed to be signs of a Shadow Demon among the Undead Army that attacked the Battle Mage Group’s home…

A Shadow Demon… It was a creature that even Rhode didn’t wish to face. Was the system fooling with him to have him bringing Christie along?

It was due to this reason that Rhode was troubled. He didn’t want to lose the rewards, but he also wasn’t willing to risk Christie’s life. The lowest level of the Undead Creatures was 40, where Marlene would have a hard time, not to mention a fragile little girl like Christie.

The difficulty of this mission was so high that it didn’t seem to be possible for him to accomplish.

Rhode didn’t ask Christie if she was willing to go with him because he knew that as long as he asked, she would surely accept without any hesitation. Despite her gentle, fragile appearance, the people around her knew that she was a determined person who would never refuse Rhode’s invitation.

Therefore, he had to make his own decision. But…

At this moment, Canary turned up and smacked the table before him.
