The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 105 - Barbarian Invasion 2
“Eh? Why is he here?!” I shouted after seeing the figure of someone next to Chris.
“Well, he said he wanted to hunt something strong. Therefore, he asked me to bring him here.” Reply Chris.
“Include, my name is Angie.” Said the woman with a sweet smile.
“A-I already know you! No. gabe…. No one does not know you!” I screamed in panic while shaking his hand.
So is this what it's like to shake the hand of a famous artist? I felt cold sweat begin to pour all over my body.
“Then…. What's your name?” Ask Angie.
“Eric! My name's Eric! It's so good to meet you, Angie! Ahhh! Is this a dream?! You know, I really liked your whole fight video! Mainly...” I said while starting to talk about a lot of things.
Hearing that, Angie seemed to be smiling happily. He even seemed to be listening to my whole chatter carefully.
“Thanks, Eric. I'm so happy if you like my video. Then, excuse me. I need to prepare myself to fight these Barbarians.” Angie said with a sweet smile and waved her hand.
Although Chris?
He just laughed with satisfaction at my rigid behavior when he met Angie. After that, he appears to be driving Angie to the armory.
Although everyone seemed happy, there was one person who looked angry.
“Eric…. I can't believe you cheated on me right in front of my eyes..” Said Elin while crossing her arms and narrowing her eyes.
“Eh?! Elin?! No, it's not like that! Angie is just an idol in the play tutorial in Re:Life and.”.
“Hahaha…. Take it easy, Eric. I was just kidding. A lousy man like you can't think of cheating. Now, how are you preparing?” Reply Elin while laughing satisfied to see myself panicking.
Hearing that, I became a little confused. Should I be happy because Elin is just joking? Or should I be upset that Elin calls me a lousy guy? I don't know.

“Eh?! So that man will open the battle with the barbarian?!” Angie cried out in shock at knowing that.
“Yes, he will open the battle using his magic.” Reply Chris calmly while leaning against the wall.
“That guy doesn't look like a witch at all! Anyway..” Angie keeps telling her why she can't believe that Eric is a witch.
Not only that, even Eric played the role of opening the battle. It was a very strange thing for Angie.
It was all because he thought he would see the ability of a Veteran Player like Chris in opening battles. Now, his hopes of seeing Chris' abilities begin to fade.
Listening to Angie's rant, Chris could only smile and say a simple sentence.
“Look at his ability. I'm sure even you won't be disappointed in his ability.”
That is, the end of the conversation carried out by the two players who came from America. Not a meaningful conversation, but still an interesting conversation for Angie.
...***...
The Former Kingdom of Rena.
An uninhabited castle on the border between civilization and the barbarians.
“Yo, Luna! You have finally arrived here!” Shouted a Woman with silver hair, Evalina.
“Sorry I'm late. I have to pick up all the members from the Golden Dragon Guild as well as the Haven Guild first. In addition, there are still many players who want to join. So I had to take them all.” Obviously Luna was at length regarding the reason for her delay.
“Hahaha…. You never changed in the past. Always help people who seem to need help. Isn't the same thing you did to our previous target?” Ask Evalina.
“Eric? Yeah, I used to help her when she needed a witch's kit. But I did not think that a novice player who seemed to be unable to do anything, turned out to have developed into a very strong monster.” Reply Luna.
The conversation of the two of them continued on inside this uninhabited castle. Several other Seven Star members also began to join the conversation of the two of them.
What's more, if the other Player knows the secret. Of course, his payment to Eric included a cover-up fee to keep the cooperation between Eric and Liu Ying secret.
If there was anything unknown to him, it was the fact that Eric had long since cooperated with others. Who'sis that? Chris from Salvation. He was also the immortal Rival Liu Ying of the Golden Dragon.
For some reason, they have always been competing for a long time. Both in terms of levels, the wealth of the virtual world and the real world, even to trivial matters such as the number of Guild members.
Of course, Eric didn't know any of this and didn't want to know. For him, the most important thing is to meet the expectations of his clients and make a profit.
Ignoring those various things, the entire army and the members of the various Guilds had gathered in this castle.
It may be easy to mention that this castle was the first place where Chris and Neo had escaped during the first Barbarian raid.
Since then, Chris and Salvation have not moved to take back the castle. That's because Chris is more concerned with developing the industry and economy of his Kingdom first.
The total troops now on standby at the castle?
50,000 players with the following ability shares.
About 24,000 players are Warior and Tank types.
8,000 are archer-type players, or long-range types.
6,000 are Cleric-type players or healers.
9,000 were magician-type players and the rest were production and support-type players.
Production type players include blacksmiths, tailors, chefs, and so on. While the supporting type of player or Suppoter is a singer, dancer, music player or bard and so forth. They are responsible for supporting all the major players.
The NPCs? In this castle there were at least 20,000 NPCs. All have different types ranging from swordsmen to bards.
And their plans?
They will wait for the presence of barbarian troops to come and raid this place. However, they considered this castle to be the first place to be attacked. It was all because this castle was located at the very eastern end of human civilization.
Not the wrong thought. It's just, there are some things they don't take into account.
What the hell is that?
Of course, it was Eric who had made the Border Dungeon in the middle of that desert. Even far away in the East when compared to this castle.
The distance between this castle and the Eric Border Dungeon is about a week longer trip by foot or 2 days by horseback.
In simple words, no matter how long they waited in this castle, the Barbarian army would not come.
It was all because they had been intercepted by Eric along with his army of monsters as well as the Kingdom of Salvation. With his soldiers trained in battle in the heat of the desert, Chris is sure to be able to withstand the Barbarian invasion.
Of course, all the players in this castle do not know that. That was because Eric and Salvation were moving around using the Teleportation Circle.
Eric and Chris? They don't have to bother to care about this.
Because whatever happens….
Hundreds of thousands of Barbarian troops had been in close proximity to the walls of the Border Dungeon.
On top of that tall and sturdy wall, there appeared a Man with a jet-black armor. His hands and feet were covered in armor that was both black and made of Obsidian material.
In his right hand, there was a wand made of Mithril that was white and beautiful. At the end of the stick, Mithril grooves began to split and rotate, circling a green cube hovering in the middle.
On the man's head, there was a very beautiful black crown. The material of the crown was Mithril combined using Black Iron.
Not to forget, there was a bright red script on top of his head.
...‘Eric’...
