My game crossing system

After returning to the hotel, everyone packed up and set off again.

Even though they had been out for a while before, they had to set out again without much rest this time. If nothing unexpected happened, they would have to work through the night. However, Qiu Chief and his group were used to it, and their current physical fitness was not affected much.

As for the location of the dark mine, there were special personnel in the palace who told us the specific location.

The Dark Mine, still located at the west gate of Heaven, was very close to the Weldon Haru that everyone had visited. This mine was one of the important mines for the Holy Heaven Army's weapon manufacturing.

As a key military location, Heaven had a considerable garrison. However, due to the prophet's incident, monster attacks of all sizes were reported across the kingdom. Heaven's available forces were dispatched via airships. By the time Douglas, realizing the importance of the situation, sent troops to sweep the surrounding area, Heaven's forces were already running low.

For the safety of Paradise, and given that the operation encompassed the Dark Mine, Douglas pulled some troops from there. Unexpectedly, before they had swept through the nearby wild monster forces, Douglas received information that the Dark Mine had been attacked by monsters.

When Chief Qiu and his group arrived near the mine, there were already a group of soldiers guarding outside.

After Angelica signaled Chieftain to produce the royal decree, Chieftain and his group finally met General Douglas.

Following the elite soldiers who led the way, Chief Qiu and his men unexpectedly met General Douglas at the entrance of the mine.

He was a man in his forties, with short brown hair and a full beard. He was a head taller than Qiu Chief and the others. Perhaps due to the confidence of being a top-tier professional, he wore no armor, instead wearing standard aristocratic clothing. If it weren't for his height and the longsword hanging from his waist, Qiu Chief would have thought he wasn't a warrior.

"Hello, adventurers."

"I am General Douglas."

"Did you obtain this decree from His Majesty?"

Douglas was still very surprised to see adventurers involved in military affairs. If he hadn't double-checked that the seal on the decree was a royal seal, Douglas felt that he would have taken action to arrest these adventurers and thrown them into prison. However, with the military currently under pressure, Douglas thought he might as well take Chief Qiu and his group into the cannon fodder camp first.

"General Douglas, I think, knows the royal seal better than us little people."

Angelica did not hold back Douglas's suspicion and directly started to mock him.

"I'm sorry, what I did just now was very offensive."

Angelica looked at Douglas in surprise. He was a soldier, quick-witted and responsible. With Douglas' apology, Angelica felt better.

"Isn't the General going to deal with the occupation of the Dark Mine?"

"Why, at this moment, we are only surrounding the city without attacking, concentrating our forces at the entrance."

Feeling much better, Angelica didn't mind giving Douglas some ideas to solve their dilemma.

"Originally, it was inconvenient for outsiders like you to know about military matters, but with His Majesty's will, we will continue to cooperate."

"Plus, I also want to see your strength."

"I'll leave the rest of the matter to you all."

"Of course, as adventurers, I will also give you corresponding rewards as a reward for this commission."

After taking a quick look at the group of enemy chieftains, Douglas first gave everyone a heads-up.

"The monsters currently occupying the Dark Mine are a bit tricky."

"If it's just the strength of a high-level professional, I wouldn't worry about anything."

"But this guy, a bomb expert named Gnomhak, is an orc."

"The mine and the bomb are close together, and if you're not careful, the entire mine will collapse."

"Plus, it brought with it a group of powerful orcs and goblins."

"If I go in alone, I'm bound to be outnumbered and forced to flee in disgrace."

"If I go in with a group of soldiers, it will die with me and explode together."

At this point, Douglas pulled at his beard, trying to relieve the pain with his own strength.

"Just now, I was going to gather a team of elite soldiers to risk their lives with me to deal with it."

"Just in time, your team is here."

"Also, His Majesty's decree mentioned the strength of your team. It seems that they are all mid-level professionals, and they have even defeated high-level professionals."

"Then it's only fitting that this task be given to you."

"Okay, leave it to us."

"General, please gather the troops as soon as possible after returning and prepare for the expedition."

Angelica agreed without waiting for Douglas to elaborate. Douglas's point was simply that the team lacked high-level professionals, posing a low threat to Nomhak. If the Qiu Chieftain team could quietly eliminate most of the mid-level monsters, they could outnumber the enemy and unleash their power to defeat high-level professionals.

"Klind, go choose a team and stay outside."

"Prevent monsters from escaping from the Dark Mine and prevent other monsters from pouring in again."

"Also, after accepting this adventure team's mission, clean up the remaining ordinary monsters in the dark mine."

After Douglas issued the military order, he returned to Holy Heaven with most of the guards. At the same time, he also issued a call for the nearby troops.

"Well, that arrogant guy is gone."

"Everyone, let's work harder and kill Gnomhak, then we can go back and rest."

Seeing that Douglas had walked away, Angelica reminded her teammates.

Then, everyone adjusted their team positions and headed into the mine.

But before the group of people took a few steps, they saw an orc over two meters tall, carrying a ore basket with a pile of explosives in it, staring at the mine entrance on the side of Qiu Chief.

"Gnomhak!"

"Wait a moment!"

Looking at the pile of bombs, Angelica immediately guessed the orc's identity. However, before Angelica could say anything, Sean had already launched a ranged attack.

Why didn't Angelica mention that Douglas was so powerful that he could quietly deal with the monsters other than Gnomhak, then launch a surprise attack on Gnomhak and quickly eliminate it? Angelica had already anticipated that Gnomhak might be guarding a key pass. If the situation was not right, she could kill them with a sympathetic explosion.

"boom!"

Facing Sean's sneak attack, Nomhak threw out an energy bomb and directly offset Sean's attack.

"Little human beings, come and fight me!"

After saying this, Nomhak pulled out a bomb from his back and ignited it with energy. He threw it at his feet and ran inside without looking back.

"boom!"

Before Qiu Chief and his men could catch up, the bomb exploded, blasting a pile of rocks into the pass where Nomhak was originally staying, blocking the way ahead.

Looking at the falling rocks, Chief Qiu and his group were obviously frightened, fearing that the mine would collapse directly.
