However it seed I was mistaken, as I underestimated the witty enemy of mine. just as we reached the next dungeon, Elyo suddenly said:
"Princess, we have reports indicating the attack of many players over ours."
I looked at her as I knew who was attacking us. "Are they that guild?" I asked.
"No," Gabri replied, "they are a coalition between the guild and the noble groups," he added, "the forums are exploding now with the videos."
I didn't say another word, as I opened the forums, to see a lot of topics insulting and my group. Most of the topics were titled by the na of the group who did it, and the rest belonged to the guild.
I opened so of them, to see my players being massacred at the way towards the last dungeon. I intended to make them level up there, running a dungeon run with each group of them, but now it seed I couldn't do that.
"We have moles in them," I muttered, as this was the only logical answer for the enemies to know my group location. "Order them all to gather with us here, if they want to attack my group, they have to deal with first!"
I said to Gabri, who relayed the order at once. we were now next to the dungeon, and that sudden developnt made it impractical to just enter there and finish the run.
We needed to wait, until all of my players got together with .
"Princess, they are coming, but the enemies have retreated," Gabir said, while feeling odd about this.
He wasn't the only one, but all of my twenty players felt the sa thing. I knew what was going on, so I asked:
"Where is the direction to the dungeon? Is it far?"
Rogy took the liberty to answer:
"It's to the northeast from here, only half an hour."
"Good," I muttered, before looking at my pet, which just nodded its head, understanding my gaze.
It moved, rapidly vanishing from our sight, while I said:
"Let's stay here and rest until they co to us."
My words seed vague, but my players followed my lead and entered the place around the dungeon, where there was no one, and we then stayed there to rest.
The other players just kept flooding, glancing at us from far, without anyone taking the initiative to disturb us. I slt their fear and hesitation, and that was logic.
After all, two mighty forces were about to clash now.
What they didn't know was I just sent my demon to intercept the enemy players from getting in the way of my retreating group. The enemy retreated, not fearing , but to reorganize their lines, and move ahead of my players and intercept them.
So I sent my demon to et them on the way, interrupt their planning, and make the way here clear for my players to co.
I knew there were moles in them, but most of them were loyal, dead loyal to . I had to accept the presence of these moles, and try to adapt.
I rested for half an hour, before my demon returned, with a confident look on its face. I nodded, silently to him, while the others noticed this unspoken conversation between the two of us.
"Oh, so the demon went to kill them," one of the twenty players exclaid in surprise, and his words attracted everyone's attention, asking him about what he was talking about.
"Just open the forum, the last post, it's a funny post."
He was right in describing that post as funny, as it was written by one of the players killed under the hands of my pet. That player was so angry, to the degree he posted the recorded video of the slaughter on the forums, accusing to use unethical thods to kill them.
It was funny, as this was war, and if there was an unethical thing here, then what they were doing was considered one of them.
Having a pet wasn't against the regulations of the ga, that was a simple fact that I didn't even need to state.
"Be ready, Rog go ahead and inspect the area, I want to know if there are any more enemies waiting for my players or not," I said, asking Rog to scout the area between us and my players.
I was worried that these idiots might try to attack my players again, despite knowing the presence of demons nearby. It was supposed for my players to arrive in less than ten minutes, so they were quite nearby.
Rog vanished from my eyesight, while I kept lying and relaxing my body on the ground, uninterested by the spying looks or the gossiping whispers coming from players all around us.
My wait didn't last long, as patches of my players appeared coming from far, in multiple groups, raised head high to the sky, with their morals skyrocketing.
It seed they already knew about what I just did to protect them, and they deserved to be protected.
"Listen up," I said, once they all gathered in front of , around a thousand of them, 'from this dungeon on, we will make a dungeon run with . during that ti, just do as I say, and don't be smart or brave. This isn't the place for you to shine, it's a place for you to get stronger.
So, don't be slow, don't be silly, and don't be noisy," I said, while looking at my twenty players team as I said:
"Let's go."
I went ahead, as I selected the usual hell difficulty, then I and my demon pet entered there first, ahead of everyone else.
Just as I was about to enter the dungeon, a shout ca so sudden from far behind, as many players appeared out of nowhere, waited for to enter the dungeon and attacked my group.
The dungeon area was just part of the wilderness, with no place safe to hide. The players who attacked my players selected the most appropriate timing, and they also wanted to know about their presence.
However I had already entered the dungeon, and that made unable to exit it unless I declared my forfeit.
If I asked to cancel the dungeon, I wouldn't be able to enter it again in twenty four hours. That provocation aid to delay , and I would never fall in their trap.
I wasn't making a group to babysit everyone, I respect their loyalty but I wanted to respect their strength too.
So, once I entered the dungeon, I didn't even think for a mont about retreat, as I walked to the front with calm steps.
This dungeon was like a huge cave in the heart of a mountain, everything around was made out of rocks. I just glanced at this huge mountain cave, where I even could spot the four main bosses of this dungeon, and then pointed to the four of them as I muttered:
"Go and kill these four stupid monsters."
My demon nodded its head, before it moved at high speed towards the front. I just followed its trail, with much devastation all around the way it passed through.
All I did was to collect any materials, nothing more. I didn't manage to see a single monster along the way, and all I heard was many roars coming from distance.
"That demon is really reliable," I muttered, while finishing collecting so materials from another killed monster. just as I stood up, I felt the aura of leveling up wrapping around . I smiled, as I didn't stay here for too long and now I got one level.
I just hoped my players would be there when I finished that dungeon, as this was a good place to level up.
As I reached the place of the first boss monster, I found the battle between it and my demon was still raging. The monster itself wasn't that strong, as it was like a cow, with many horns and heavy hooves.
The problem wasn't in that cow monster, it was in the mini centaurs it summoned, so nurous and small that were so distracting and hard to kill.
"Go and focus on that cow, I will slay its babies," I shouted to my demon, as I threw my spear out, snapped my fingers, then threw it again, joining the battle.
I was kind of far from the battle, but my spear could travel all that distance in re seconds, so even when these monsters noticed my existence, they couldn't approach no matter what they did.
All fell on the blade of my spear, and that helped my demon a lot, as it started to completely focus on that cow boss. In less than five minutes, it managed to kill it, and then it moved towards the distance, continuing its mission.
And I started to collect materials from all the dead monsters here, boss monster or its babies.
