The Dungeon Master's
Chapter 202 - Recruitment
...Farna Kingdom...
The entire place in this Kingdom was in a crowded condition. Not without reason, but because there are so many Knights who travel here and there along with the Heroes of the Farna Kingdom.
The six Heroes moved in 3 different routes. The Sword Hero and Healing Hero went to the Northern region of Farna Kingdom. While the Spear Hero and the Witch Hero went to the Northeast region.
The rest were Arrow Heroes along with Shield Heroes going to the Eastern region of Farna Kingdom.
And the Southern Region? Arlond took care of it himself.
All this is done for the sake of recruiting a massive army. One of them is what is happening in a city in the North.
‘Traak! Tracks! Traak!’
Several mounted Knights were seen walking in the town square. With a neat row and led by the Sword Hero and Healing Hero, they began to announce the intent of their arrival.
“Representing His Majesty the King, we will open the recruitment of Soldiers to help the Ilandist Kingdom which is continuously oppressed by the Avertia Empire! Anyone interested in going to the barracks from tomorrow morning!
The Warrior's pay has been increased on the King's Majesty's Order! This is your chance to change your fate! If it works well, you will probably be appointed a Knight!”
The message is repeated several times. Of course not only NPCs, but Players are also included. Even so, the Player gets a slightly different notification. In front of the Player's view, a system window appears that shows these registration opportunities.
...[.Job Quest]...
...[.Become a Soldier]...
...[.Rank : E]...
...[.Mission]...
...Visit the Army Barracks in the City and join the ranks of the Farna Kingdom Warriors. All registrants will obtain Rare-level basic equipment with the Red Fire emblem....
...[.The Prize for Completing the Mission]...
...A set of Rare level fixtures made with Wrought Iron materials...
...Normal-level Skill Book: Raise Shield...
...Normal level Skill Book: Swing...
...[.Additional Rewards]...
...Earn a salary of 3 gold coins every month....
...[.Consequences of Receiving a Mission]...
...Required to comply with orders from the Captain or the Commander of a higher-ranking force....
...It is required to carry out guard and patrol duties for 7 days each month. Patrols more than that will be given a bonus of 5 silver coins every day....
...[.Consequences of Refusing the Mission]...
...There's none...
All the low to medium level players who saw that thought the same thing.
“Gold chance!”
“Do you see his salary reaching 3 gold coins every month? Doesn't this mean 1 gold coin every day in the real world? This number is so crazy!”
“Don't just look at the gold coins! Check out this fixture!”
“Woah! You right! What the fuck? Deliver Rare level Items? Even obtaining a Good level Item alone was extremely difficult.”
The whole player looks great. But they all had positive opinions regarding this Quest. Most have even decided to join.
A player with a high level? They did not pay attention to the Quest even a little. It was only natural for the Quest reward to be too low for those who were level 120 and above.
Even so, their views were not taken for granted. They are now focusing on something.
“You saw it?” Ask a player in black clothes that resemble Ninjas.
“Of course. Those two guys…. Truly monster. So they are the so-called Heroes born in this Farna Kingdom?” Reply to a man with a dark blue magician's kit.
“Entahlah. Are they as strong as Arlond?”
“How I know. We even have trouble seeing and meeting with Arlond.”
“Bird news says that Arlond has a level of 290 with a total Growth Point of 140.”
“What?! Isn't that too much?”
“Kurasa not really. Given the figure of the Hero who is in front of us, Arlond is certainly above them.”
The conversation of the high-level Veterans Player was busy discussing the figure of the two heroes who were in front of them.
Everyone was curious how such a powerful figure could appear so suddenly. Even their names have not been mentioned once at the time of the Triassic King's reign.
Therefore, all Veteran Players had the same conclusion. They have secrets. And to know the secret….
“We will join.”

...Kingdom Salvation...
...Reinard city...
...Royal Palace...
Inside this magnificent and extremely luxurious palace, hundreds of people had gathered. They were all top brass from the Kingdom of Salvation, including members of Chris's Salvation Guild.
They all seemed to line up neatly and made no sound. All of them faced towards the throne with a firm and calm attitude.
“Alice, New. Describe the current state of Farna Kingdom.” Said Chris while sitting on the golden throne. He seemed to give a sharp and vexed look.
“Of course. The current situation of the Farna Kingdom is really strange. Somehow, they seemed to be preparing their troops neatly. In fact, the development of their military power exceeded our wildest imaginations both.” Alice was short.
Hearing that, all the higher-ups who were lining up seemed to look back and forth. They were all confused and seemed to be looking for answers from people near them. Even so, no one knows the answer.
“Do you know why it could happen?” Ask Chris in a loud voice.
Alice nodded at the question.
Immediately, he answered.
“Their largest trading ally, the Kingdom of Ilandis, was in a state of decline due to the invasion of the Avertian Empire. Therefore, the Pharna Kingdom rebuilt their army to help the Ilandist Kingdom.
That's the information we both got by questioning the entire army and the higher-ups. No one lied about it. Neo has confirmed it.” Clearly Alice was at length while looking towards Neo.
Seeing Alice's gaze, Neo seemed to nod his head hinting that his words were indeed true.
Chris also appears to be clenching his palms. He put his head on that fist while thinking hard about this incident.
“All this…. Is it just a coincidence? If coincidental…. How could it be like this? Why are their movements so in line with the time we're going to invade? Even they a few months ago were still busy to rebuild their farm.” Chris said, staring in the distance.
“On that…. I don't know the answer myself.” Alice's reply was brief.
Despite saying so, Chris put a high suspicion on someone. That person was Eric, who was currently being known as the Great Witch in the region of the Farna Kingdom.
Hence….
“How about that person?” Ask Chris again to Alice and Neo.
“The person is currently adventuring in the area of the Sacred Forest belonging to the Celestine Holy Kingdom. I obtained that information from various local taverns and Taverns. The person appeared to be recruiting Party members in the past and since nothing was satisfactory, he moved alone with his partner.
He was considered the Great Witch of the Kingdom because of his merits. Even so, that person was in no way bound by anything to the Farna Kingdom. With a simple sentence, that person just happened to be there with abilities that exceeded the average person there.” Alice was at length.
“Have you confirmed it?” Ask Chris again.
“Me and Neo have seen it. Currently, he was burning his hunted meat and eating it together with his Party members who numbered 5 people.” Reply Alice.
“Before you ask I will answer. The five people are Eric, Elin, Lucien, and the other two are his new monster, Rianne who is a Fairy, then Catherine who is a vampire.” Connect Neo.
Hearing this, Chris was confused.
‘How can this happen? It all just doesn't make sense. If Eric doesn't work with Farna…. Why are they able to find out my movements so quickly? No. gabe…. Is this really just a coincidence?
But Eric was adventurous and seemed unconcerned about the invasion plan…. If he did cooperate, then there should be the slightest strange movement. That was if he did know of this plan. Moreover, all the monsters in Origin are still working as usual and supplying merchandise regularly here.’.
The more he thought, the more confused Chris became with this situation. He felt that he wanted Eric to be the cause of all this trouble. Is correct…. Chris wants to believe that Eric is working with Farna. Therefore, he struggled with all his might to relate each evidence and information he had.
Even so, he found nothing at all. Everything is nil and cannot be connected.
Finally, Chris decided to hold a meeting with all Salvation nobles and officials to discuss the issue of the invasion of the Farna Kingdom.
He has dismissed the thought that Eric has ties to the kingdom of Farna. Chris was convinced, Eric was only moving in the Farna Kingdom by chance because his Dungeon was in the territory of that Kingdom. Therefore, thinking about and looking for further red threads is very difficult to do.
Sure do….
Chris wouldn't notice.
It was all because right now, Eric was currently a monster who was already skilled at manipulating the truth. Moreover, with the help of Arlond, Elin and Lucien.
Setting the course of information that existed in the Farna Kingdom was as easy as turning a palm for him.
