Chapter 345: Surveillance Mission
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The materials were transported from Eternal Kingdom.
So of the materials were from the excavation of ores by Eternal Kingdom’s gars, which consisted partly of Adamantine rocks. The remaining portions were forging ores from Winterfell’s material reward for defeating Samael.
The Dwarves, Hill and The King, were in charge of teaching steam technology and the forging of weapons.
Steam engineering wasn’t developed in Victoria City yet, but Hill was kept busy, especially during the initial developnt stage.
The Blacksmith Shop was in 100% production, and the sounds of hamring filled the entire shop. As for the forging of weapons, Mana was required in both the Underworld and the Surface World.
Though Hill was a Steam Engineer, he was also skilled at forging. During these extraordinary circumstances, as well as for the overti pay, Hill was working diligently.
Hill was in charge of forging equipnt, while The King was in charge of forging in addition to equipnt improvent, which was his main forte.
The model for equipnt improvent was the sa as Eternal Kingdom, though The King’s temper wasn’t as hot as Simba’s. Occasionally, the gars could hear The King say, “Apologies, your weapon improvent has failed. It has disintegrated.”
“Ah—!”
Though The King was much gentler than Simba, he was never shy in telling the gars about the weapon improvent failures. He was ordered to do so by Lilo.
Lilo stood in the castle as she watched The King throw so broken equipnt into the furnace. The equipnt would be slted before being forged into standard equipnt.
Big Boss sprawled on the window sill and asked curiously, “Miss Lilo, why do you allow good weapons to be destroyed before creating new ones? Should we not use this ti to create weapons and improve them so that the citizens can help Miss Lilo conquer the Heavenly Kingdom?”
“This is Sherlock’s request. He said that the citizens prefer such incidents.” Lilo put down the curtains and walked into the room as she asked, “How many of the citizens are fully ard?”
“According to my statistics, 926 citizens have at least one piece of equipnt. There are 320 citizens that have two pieces of equipnt, while less than 100 citizens have a full set of equipnt. The numbers aren’t fixed, as they will explore the Spiders’ Lair and et their doom. Each ti they die, they will have equipnt damage.”
Second Boss adjusted his spectacles while his furry and fat paws flipped through a thick book that contained all of the data regarding Victoria City.
“Hmm, it’s very good.”
“Miss Lilo, I don’t understand. We’ve had casualties of more than 10,000 over the past few days, and each citizen died at least twice per day to a maximum of more than ten tis per day. Your burden is overwhelming. We should control them and reduce unnecessary casualties! You have to take care of your health!” Second Boss said with concern, clearly worried about her health.
“This burden is negligible. They haven’t been dying for naught, as they are honing their combat skills. As my loyal undying warriors, this is the fastest training thod.”
Lilo waved her hand at the three Hamsters to dismiss them. Only once the three Hamsters left did Lilo show her exhaustion.
It was all worthwhile for the conquest of the Heavenly Kingdom!

While Victoria City was developing at a rapid pace, the gars of Eternal Kingdom received a new Plot Mission.
[Mission Title: Surveillance of the Ogre Stronghold
Mission Description: The remnants of the Ogre troops left by Andrew are being reorganized, and they have beco strong enough to threaten our survival. We are forming an alliance with Baron Nicholas to defeat the powerful Ogre tribes! The citizens of Eternal Kingdom will never be slaves!
Mission Objective: Follow Nicholas’ subordinates and perform surveillance of the Ogre Stronghold. We have to gather intelligence. The Non-Existing Intelligence Organization isn’t able to provide any assistance.
Mission Reward: 300 Eternal Kingdom Reputation Points, 500 bronze coins, and other possible equipnt.]
Though the Reputation Points and coins weren’t attractive to the First and Second Beta Gars, the Third Beta Gars were in need of the rewards and the possible equipnt.
According to the wisdom of the First and Second Beta Gars, this kind of infiltration mission, one involving fighting with NPCs, had a high chance of yielding equipnt after killing them if the gars survived.
This wasn’t a Strange Encounter Mission, so the mission could be accepted at the Winterfell Dungeon Lord Main Hall.
The major Guilds weren’t going to let this chance slip by. The past had shown that Battle Campaign Scenarios yielded handso loot, and the gars with excellent contributions would have high prestige. For example, in the previous encounter with Samael, the First Beta Gars from the Pioneer Alliance attacked Samael and gained both attention and Reputation Points.
As the chairman of the Pioneer Alliance, and after having survived various rumors, Arthur’s prestige wasn’t affected. After discovering the mission, he brought the Guild mbers to the Winterfell Dungeon Lord Main Hall to register for the mission to scout the Ogre tribes.
The Winterfell employee responsible for the registration was dumbstruck. He didn’t understand why there were so many creatures clamoring to register for such a dangerous mission.
The queue was extrely long, and when the quota had been reached, the gars who weren’t registered kicked up a big fuss.
“Please, give a chance! I want to fight for Winterfell!”
“Let go! My skills are aweso! I’ll even sacrifice myself for intelligence!”
“In the entire Eternal Kingdom, my intelligence seeking skill is the strongest. When Winterfell was attacked by the Ancient Gods believers, most of the intelligence was gathered by . It’s the truth!”
Everyone claid to be experienced and said that they were willing to sacrifice for Winterfell.
The Winterfell employee hesitated and said, “I’ll appeal to my superior.”
The gars exploded with wild cheering. They quickly took out food and sat on the floor, so of them even beginning to shout.
“Selling equipnt! Selling equipnt!”
“Buying a mission placent! Three thousand Renminbi for a mission placent. No matter what loot I receive, it’s all yours!”
“Selling my queue position! Selling my queue position!”
“Who has an Adamantine Ore? I want to learn Mana Engineering!”
“Selling wood! Freshly logged yesterday! Make haste, discount for large quantities!”
The Dungeon Lord Main Hall beca an instant marketplace.
The employees in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall were dumbfounded. These creatures were from Eternal Kingdom, and they saved Winterfell twice, so they couldn’t afford to antagonize them.
The employees reported the incident to Dungeon Lord Nicholas, who was extrely touched. He said, “No, we’ll go according to plan!”
This was a surveillance mission and not a tour or an attempt to feed the Ogres. If there were too many creatures, they would be discovered before they could get close. They would be captured and tortured. Perhaps, they would beco food for the Ogres. If that happened, the surveillance mission could be considered a failure.
Though the gars had the intention to camp in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, after a warm refusal, they could only leave with regrets. Brainiac ca and led the noisy gars back to Eternal Kingdom.
The thod to lead them back was simple:
[Mission Title: Follow Brainiac and leave the Dungeon Lord Main Hall
Mission Description: Eternal Kingdom requires you to develop the Dungeon. Please return imdiately and start working!
Mission Objective: Return to Eternal Kingdom.
Mission Reward: 0.01% of the gars will receive a full set of Legendary Equipnt. The final interpretation lies with the ga officials. As there is no money collected, it’s not considered an illegal accumulation of funds.]
Though the gars had doubts about this mission, they held onto the 0.01% hope of obtaining the reward and followed Brainiac back to Eternal Kingdom. Those who chose to stay also left after realizing that they had no chance to obtain the mission.
The registered 100 gars ford 50 teams, following the experienced Winterfell warriors who were mounted on Beetlemons to the Ogre Stronghold.
Sherlock explained the reason that the gars were involved in the Winterfell military surveillance operation.
“Military surveillance? Give so places on the team. They are excellent scouts, and they will help to obtain valuable intelligence. If you send them to the destination, they will do the required surveillance. Don’t worry.”
Nicholas was more than happy to oblige. He was never in doubt of the capability of Eternal Kingdom!
The contingent set off imdiately, and they soon encountered the first incident.
