283 Tomb of Ashkar, again?
"Let's keep moving," Detri said.
The guild alliance reorganized themselves into square formations of one thousand players and moved toward the east.
Ti passed slowly as the alliance moved. They were attacked several tis by monsters in the Deep Wilds. Weretigers, Blood Wolves and even Giant Mud Toads.
Players fell and died with every encounter, slowing the army more and more. At one point the alliance had to cross an enormous chasm.
rcy and Tess rembered this area. Behind it was the Red Forest. It's the area that the Smolzys inhabited. There were a few bridges linking the two sides of the giant rift.
"Detri, we should take a detour," rcy said.
"Why is that?"
"This is an area where a tribe of small people lives. They are indestructible. They have 800,000 Magical and physical defense each. And there are tens of thousands of them. We must not fight them," rcy said.
"Do you see any other way to our destination?" Detri asked.
"What's the problem?" White Ghost ca and asked.
rcy recounted their encounter with the Smolzys tribe while covering so facts about Dave's quest to the tomb of Ashkar of course.
"Do you still have their bestiary log?" White Ghost said.
rcy shared the bestiary log of the Smolzys with White Ghost.
"Damn, these guys are like little devils. rcy's right. Scouting unit, co here." White Ghost called over the scouting units.
Ten rangers and beast tars ca over.
"I need you to scout the way ahead, if you encounter a tribe or small creatures report it instantly."
A ranger in camouflage green leather armor nodded and led the rest across the bridge.
The army waited patiently for information from the scouts. After half an hour the first report ca.
"I am looking at a giant tribe of Smolzys. They are cooking weretigers for lunch. These guys are an fuckers I don't think it's worth it to fight them."
Another player gave his own report.
"Reporting, there are Faeries here. They're blocking the way. We can't go from here either."
More reports ca in. All of them had the sa ssage. The path was blocked by monsters.
"Reporting, I believe I found a way through the red forest. There are a few monsters here, but they could easily be dealt with. There is a path leading to an old dod building surrounded by high walls. It's possible that this is a dungeon."
"A dungeon?" Detri frowned.
rcy perked up, she asked, "Send footage of the area."
A mont later it was as rcy thought, this was the Tomb of Ashkar's dungeon.
"This is a large enough area to set up a camp. And it's easily defendable. I say we should go there, we might even raid the dungeon," The White Ghost said.
"Didn't we agree to keep going until we get to the Eastern Kingdom?" Detri asked.
The White Ghost shook his head "You are leading players, people. So far, we have been logged in for two days. So have a social life and they need to rest." White ghost said.
"True, let's take a rest there, and in the anti. We can even raid the dungeon." Wan Yi said. He didn't look like soone that will feel sleep deprived for staying awake for just two days.
"Sorry to inform you, Skelly already raided and killed the dungeon boss there," Blaster said.
"It's you again. Blaster" Detri said. "What do you know about this place?" he asked.
rcy shook her head at Ralph but he smiled, "Don't worry rcy, Skelly won't mind it. Listen, it's true that this area is good for camping. It has so sort of power that inhibits the Smolzys from getting close. But when Skelly finished his dungeon run, the tomb crumbled and there are no monsters left. You can use it as a base that's all," Blaster said.
"You look inford."
"Yeah, I was there with Skelly when he killed the boss."
"What's your rank?" Detri asked
"I'm a hundred-unit captain."
"You are hereby promoted to one-thousand-unit leader. Take command of the A-Unit 20 and clear the way for the guild to get to the Tomb of Ashkar," Detri said.
"Blaster, be careful," rcy said.
Ralph smiled like a goofball and nodded, he then moved toward unit A-Unit 20 and gave them the order to move ahead.
Tess looked mischievously at rcy.
"What?" rcy asked, her cheeks had a tinge of red.
"Noooothing," Tess said in a teasing tone.
All of the guild leaders had a strange expression on their faces. They never thought that the S legacy holder rcy, daughter of the largest mafia gang in the USA. The coldest assassin in Conquest could ever show a blushing expression. It was a new experience, and sowhat strange. Especially because her blushing was for concern over a naless player of the Devastators.
"Ahem, let's wait for news from Blaster," rcy said.
As ralph was walking to the frontline. He feared that the unit he will eb leading might disrespect him because he was hastily promoted and didn't 'earn' it.
When he arrived at the stationed unit he said, "I've been promoted leader of the A-20 Unit. We'll be going to the Tomb of Ashkar. Please follow my lead, I know the way there."
Surprisingly, the units were organized and disciplined, they didn't argue with ralph or dean his authority as he feared.
Following after Ralph, the units crossed the bridge and went to the right. Ralph already knew where to go. He went through the route that was scouted and t with the scout.
"You're the new leader. Aye, see that?" the scout pointed.
"I thought about going in first, but every now and then those Smolzys co and inspect the surrounding. I didn't want them to spot and inform their tribe, so I waited for you guys to co.
"You did well man," Ralph said and inford Detri about everything going on.
"Alright, we'll have to go, everyone goes in single file. We have to get to the Tomb of Ashkar without being noticed. If by so chance we are spotted. We'll make a run for it. Unit 6, 7,8,9, and 10 you will be our backline. If the Smolzys attack you will hold them off and retreat to the Tomb of Ashkar." Detri said.
"That's good strategic thinking, Detri," Valentine comnted.
"Yeah, you can pick up stuff from here and there when you are surrounded by smart people," Detri said, he wasn't a snobbish man and could admit his mistakes and listen to his underlings. That was a sign of a true leader.
The guild alliance moved in single file following after Ralph's unit.
Ralph used the dial option and called his friend Dave.
"Supp Ralphy!" Dave replied.
"Hey man, what're you doing right now?"
"Nothing much just finished a raid. I'm organizing so stuff and will probably go to check out the fourth raid zone."
"Damn man, you sure work fast. Listen. The guild alliance just reached the Tomb of Ashkar." Blaster said.
"Did they cross Urburg?"
"No, Urburg is way too far from where we are. I don't think they can discover it or even enter it because you have the KeyMaster role. If you don't allow them to enter, they can't get in no matter what."
"You're right, so that's all you wanted to say, bro?"
"No, I ant that, don't you think this is the best ti to enter the wilds? Bring Dog with you and you can revive Spike."
"Right. You are right, the dragon is no longer in the wilds. This will make it much easier for to bring back spike. He didn't deserve to die like that. Alright, I'll co over soon."
"Alright, just be careful. Heaven Dawn and the Blood Ragers have a grudge against you."
"Well, I have so pretty badass Undead right now. They'll have to think twice before wanting to cross ."
"It's a 100,000-army man."
"Hah, the more the better, you'll see why soon," Dave said.
"Who was that you were talking to, unit leader?" A player said.
"Just a friend. Anyway, let's get going, the last Smolzy patrol just moved past us. It'll take 5 minutes before others co." Ralph said and ordered his thousand n to move to the tomb.
The players ran across the open fields and hopped over the broken walls of the structure surrounding the Tomb of Ashkar.
A few minutes later, another Smolzy patrol ca to check the periter but they didn't spot the players.
Another one thousand player unit ca through the forest and joined the A20 unit.
After three hours, all the one hundred-thousand-man army was stationed around and inside the Tomb of Ashkar.
The guild leaders joined together and stood in front of the dod building. The door to the tomb was shattered and rubble blocked the way in. The dungeon was inactive the mont Dave defeated Ashkar.
"So, this is the dungeon Skelly conquered. That was a disgusting sight," Detri said.
"Yeah, it was hard, to be honest," Blaster replied.
"Alright, we will take a 12-hour rest. Everyone, log out and rest. Tomorrow we will make a sprint all the way to the eastern kingdom border," Detri said in the global chat.
"Detri," Blaster said.
"Yes."
"When we ca here the last ti. We never went past this area. The whole land in front of us is unknown to us."
"It doesn't matter. I'll be sending pathfinders to scout for us. We just need to find the most appropriate and clearest road to the eastern kingdom border. From then on, we will take control of a city and this conquest will be in hand."
"Hopefully," Blaster said as he gazed toward the east.
The forest was dark and eerie, though it was so close to the east, it didn't make it any easier for the guild mbers. Monsters much stronger than they faced waited for them.
