The subordinate looked at the muscular man with disbelief, his face full of confusion.
And the muscular man, though brainless, also understood that he had screwed up this time!
No matter what, these people were all rookies of the guild, but now they were killing each other here, something that should never have happened.
The most important thing was that the Dark Lord had not been found!
The mission was to kill the Dark Lord, but now they had not even seen him, and almost all of the people had been wiped out!
If the boss came down to hold him accountable, it would surely be his responsibility…
As the highest-ranking one among the three teams, he should have prevented this kind of thing from happening, acting as a lubricant to ease the conflict between the teams.
But, things had turned out like this.
The muscular man had no choice, slapping the subordinate made him calm down, now there was only one way left!
All these casualties were caused by that damn Dark Lord!
ƥαṇdαs ηθνε| He turned his cold gaze around, looking at the remaining survivors of the two teams, his figure flashed, and he snapped their necks directly.
Ethan stood on a tree, and couldn’t help but nod his head in praise.
Although this muscular man looked a bit brainless, he made the right choice at this critical moment.
Only by framing Dark Lord for these deaths could he clear himself of any responsibility.
The muscular man cleaned up the remaining two teams, shook off the blood on his hands, and walked to his subordinate’s side.
He grabbed his subordinate’s clothes and wiped his bloody palms.
“You didn’t see anything, did you?” the muscular man said.
The subordinate hurriedly said: “No, no! It was all done by that damn Dark Lord, big brother, you fought hard and saved us. The others were too late to be rescued and died on the battlefield!”
The muscular man nodded, then took his subordinate and returned the way they came.
From the previous prompt, it seemed that Dark Lord was nearby.
The muscular man did not dare to be careless, he killed those two people in an instant just to deter Dark Lord who was hiding in the dark.
He was also exhausted at this point, although killing these people was easy, but to make people feel that it was a crushing kill with extreme speed, he still had to pay a certain price.
Then the muscular man took his subordinate and headed straight for Riverside without looking back.
Ethan saw this and did not stop him, this guy might still be his lucky star.
He brought so many souls of heros this time, maybe next time it would be the same.
But then, Ethan would not need to use this method, to make the three teams fight each other in order to win…
Ethan watched the muscular man gradually go away, and then he felt relieved.
He recalled the Holy Light Goblins and started to loot the corpses on the ground.
Although they were not worth much, he did not want to waste them.
He also had the goblins move the unbuilt camp back to the Dungeon.
The Holy Light Goblins spent more than half an hour to loot all the corpses.
Ethan’s backpack suddenly had all kinds of things, the style was normal at first.
They were some dry food, beer, or some daily necessities.
But as he went further, some things made Ethan feel a bit perverted.
[Lubricant], made from butter, can greatly lubricate the skin.
[Underwear], can be worn outside or inside.
Ethan held the underwear in his hand, and his mouth twitched.
What kind of underwear was this, clearly just two pieces of cloth!
He clicked the clean button under the backpack with a blank expression, and some things that were worthless to Ethan disappeared from the backpack in an instant.
He opened the system, and the Gold Coins column had already increased to about 2000, a large part of which was found in the camp that the three teams had not built.
This money was the lifeblood of the Heroes, they naturally took it wherever they went.
But now they were in the middle of a mission, and it was too troublesome to carry money with them.
They all put it in the camp, but this time they were raided, and Ethan benefited from it.
Just as Ethan was happily counting his spoils, the muscular man also led the remaining people to report back, and did not return to Riverside until dusk.
As soon as the muscular man entered the guild leader’s room, he saw three figures, and immediately felt uneasy.
He quickly knelt on the ground.
“Bang bang bang”
He knocked his head on the ground a few times, and then said:
“I’m sorry guild leader! This was an accident, I didn’t know that Dark Lord was so powerful.”
Under the setting sun, the sunlight shone through the window and onto the chair where she sat.
Rose was wrapped in the shadow of the chair, and her expression was unreadable as she thought.
Just as the muscular man was secretly glancing at Rose, her emotionless voice echoed throughout the hall.
“You, you made me lose more than 50 people from my guild, where is the Dark Lord?”
The muscular man heard this and immediately knocked his head on the ground a few more times.
“I suck, I couldn’t even take down that Dark Lord.”
“So let me get this straight, I sent out over 40 F Heroes, more than 10 D Heroes and you, a D+ Hero as a team, and you still couldn’t take down this mysterious Dark Lord?”
The muscular man quickly pretended to be heartbroken and said:
“It’s really that Dark Lord is too cunning! He actually moved his camp, we were not familiar with the surrounding environment, that’s how he got away! But guild leader, I promise, give me another chance! I will definitely take him down!”
The muscular man still thought that it was just Dark Lord’s luck, that he happened to have internal strife among the three teams, and that he happened to come nearby after the fight…
Rose sneered.
The bald man was the first to stand up and walk to the kneeling muscular man and question him:
“Do you mean, guild leader has to personally take action, and listen to your commands to take that dark lord down?”
The bald man’s words instantly made the muscular man anxious.
The muscular man hurriedly said: “Guild leader! I didn’t mean that! I meant, I meant…”
He racked his brains for excuses, but couldn’t find a suitable one.
The lipstick man followed up and said: “What do you mean? I think you are too arrogant, you want to boss everyone around!”
Just as the muscular man wanted to argue, Rose said indifferently:
“Enough of this, about the mysterious Dark Lord in Abandoned temple, no one is allowed to provoke him! Everyone, wait until after the ‘Holy Spirit Festival’ in half a month.”
“Yes!” Several people shouted in unison, then left the guild leader’s room one by one.
Rose turned around and looked at the sunset.
This Dark Lord was interesting, he was able to come up with a plan to divide the three teams in such a short time, and make the best choice.
Rose had already known what had happened, she had never intended to crusade Dark Lord with just this one battle.
She secretly sent her confidants to monitor this operation in advance.
She originally thought that she should at least be able to roughly estimate Dark Lord’s strength through the battle.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.
This was Rose’s motto.
But what she didn’t expect was that this mysterious Dark Lord was so bold.
He not only broke into the team alone, but also acted like old friends with the team members.
He had a pretty strong mindset.
With some small tricks, he successfully made the three teams fight each other.
Fortunately, she didn’t lose too many core forces of the guild.
And that muscular man… Rose’s mouth curled up in a cold smile.
He was a complete idiot!
The only reason she kept him was because he had D+ strength, and he was brainless and easy to control.
If she had a better choice, she would definitely kick him out without hesitation.
But for now, she still needed him as a D+ Hero.
The Holy Spirit Festival in half a month was very important.
Whether Rose Guild could break out of Riverside and go to other cities of Sunset Empire depended on this!
…
At the same time, in Abandoned temple.
Ethan sat on the throne and looked at the constantly increasing resources in the system.
He felt very happy in his heart.
The area near Horizon Mountains gave him a big surprise.
There were two large iron mines!𝒐𝓋𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t
The two iron mines together could provide up to 1000 iron resources.
Ethan could now declare that he had entered the iron age completely.
He also started building the first blacksmith shop.
He opened the enhancement page and called out the Earth Dragon Laborer interface.
Although Earth Dragon Laborers did not have any enhancement directions, they could directly enhance their mining speed, carrying speed, and carrying quantity.
And Earth Dragon Laborer’s module enhancement did not require any conditions, only resources were needed.
However, enhancing the first layer of mining speed required a whopping 300 iron.
Ethan gritted his teeth and chose to enhance it.
Boosting mining speed would help gather food, iron, and gold faster.
It was a sure win!
Suddenly, the system’s prompt sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Divine Dragon Warrior has achieved the achievement of surviving for 3 days, unlocking the enhancement direction, Divine Dragon Knight!]
