Armstrong just sighed and felt like this eting was slowly derailing from its initial objective, "Enough, ti is of essence. Let's all just vote, shall we?"
"In favor of the Monster Horde, raise your hands."
"Not you Mugak"
"Ohh, okay"
No one raised their hand except for one person, and Armstrong imdiately chided him gently when he saw Mugak slowly raising his hand while his eyes darted around.
"I want everyone to be reminded once again. This is still not a surefire way that the desired outco that we want will happen. So those in favor of tackling the Shared Quest, raise your hands!"
Everyone including him raised their hands. It was no brainer, they can level up anyti and find treasures, but the chance of encountering a possible Unique Quest is sothing that only happens once in a blue moon.
Like one Monday morning and you're on the road and were suddenly given the choice to choose between gold and diamond, but due to a lack of insight, you chose diamond over the more stable and rarer gold.
Like gold, a Unique Quest is scarce and extrely hard to find, but on the other hand, the monster horde is like diamond, it has nurous supplies of monsters, and they wouldn't be depleted soon.
There're enough monsters for everyone since Goblins and Orcs can breed as fast as diamonds are artificially made.
Then there's the Guild Leader of the War Dragons Guild, Tierra, who is currently inside a dungeon with her brother, Layfun.
The siblings known as the Twin Towers of the War Dragons.
Graaawr!
A huge Naga slithered towards them with its weapon raised and slashed down!
Hmmph!
Her gaze hardened while letting out a snort, wielding two Tower Shield on both of her hands, she stuck them together in front of her, just in the nick of ti for the Naga's attack to land on top of her shields.
BANG!
The two combined shields let out a soft shimr like a mirror, then the Naga's weapon was blasted upward, and the force behind it even sent the Naga rolling backwards.
It was the most common but hardest skill to master among Tank users, Reflect.
Followed after that was a shadow of soone running past her and towards the Naga that's still trying to push its body off the ground.
"Haaa! Die, disgusting bastard!"
The figure leapt from the ground towards the monster with his double headed ax raised above his head, and with a shout, energy gathered around his weapon before he powerfully smashed it down towards the monster's head!
Lightning Strike!
Boom!
The ax sliced through the monster's head and smashed to the ground, sending dust and rubbles flying everywhere while creating a small crater.
[You have slain a Level 33 Naga Warrior]
[You have received 738 EXP]
[Gained 67 Silver and 10 Coppers]
[You have…]
"Should we continue, or shall I convene a gathering for the upcoming monster horde so that we can officially start preparing?"
After picking up all the loot that the monster had dropped, Layfun approached his sister and brought up the matter regarding the monster horde.
"Ignore the monster horde, this dungeon is far more important. For now, we stay here and wait for reinforcent from the guild" Tierra replied without looking at him, but her hands never stopped moving like she was so kind of a conductor in an orchestra. Obviously, she's just browsing the web like any other players that want to receive news in real ti.
"Are you sure? By the ti we conquer this dungeon, we'll be far behind the other guilds" Layfun said after hesitating for a second.
Downing a potion, Tierra replied, "It's fine. We need this dungeon if we want to receive a noble status from the Kingdom. Besides, we already received a lot of rewards during the Undead event. We don't need to put aside our original plans just to participate at another one-ti event."
"You can't say that. We don't really know if the Undead Horde was really a one-ti event or was connected to the Main Storyline, that goes the sa for the Monster Horde. Look, the monster horde is led by a Dragon, a Dragon! We don't see that every day! And according to firsthand reports from our spies, the monster horde has stopped and still hasn't crossed over any of the human borders."
Hearing the latter part of her words, Layfun couldn't help but disagree with her.
Raising an eyebrow, Tierra said, "And that ans, what?"
Noticing that his sister seems finally willing to listen, he continued, "It ans, they are waiting for sothing. So, what are they waiting for? Look here, I'll send you sothing."
"Are you looking at it?"
"Yeah, it's the sightings of the Fire Dragon" she replied.
"Yeah, but that's not all. If you investigate the places further, you will slowly realize that its moving with a destination in mind."
While Layfun was explaining his point to his sister, Tierra was also looking at the map and checking the places of the Fire Dragon sightings, and as she slowly got closer to the end of the list of the places, sothing finally clicked in her head!
""The Isle of Skrova!""
Both siblings uttered the na at the sa ti, and both looked at each other.
"Yes! It's that small island nation! There's only one reason I can think of why the Fire Dragon is heading to that place. It's to-"
"...To et the Dragon Master" Tierra completed the words he wanted to say.
Following that, Tierra was thrown deep in her thoughts, and seeing that, Layfun didn't say anything further as he knew that he had done his part already.
A minute had passed when Tierra finally organized her thoughts.
"The Undead Horde didn't involve any of the Six Sages, but the Monster Horde this ti-"
"Could possibly change that" Layfun completed her thoughts on the matter.
"Among the Six Legends, the Dragon Master is the most active among them, and if this involves him, then-."
"The Dragon Emperor is also involved, and if the Dragon Emperor is involved, then the Dragon Tribe is too. This is bigger than the Undead Horde, and it could also affect the whole continent if those parties were really related to this" Tierra added, then she looked at her brother and continued.
"Have the 2nd and 3rd Team to finish this place up. Send word for the rest to gather, I'll personally oversee the expedition this ti" Tierra slowly got up and imdiately started walking towards the direction of the Exit with Layfun following a step behind her.
"Have you shared your findings with the Alliance?" Tierra slightly turned her head to the side, looking behind her from the corner of her eyes.
"I was just about to do that," Layfun replied as he was already on it.
"We need the whole Alliance to move this ti. We can't do this alone since I'm pretty sure it wouldn't take long for those people to also discover what you found" she said.
"We need to prepare thoroughly since this is the first ti that the entirety of the three alliances will gather like this. The chances of a possible conflict between the three forces arising during that ti is high and could possibly lead to large scale guild war" Layfun added.
"Yeah, and it's sothing to look forward to."
