Chapter 344 Dark Mine (8)

There were no accidents. These spider monsters who had lived in the mine for who knows how long had become the ghosts of the enemy chief and his men.

Originally, Shilonai noticed that these monsters had no new scent and looked like they had lived for a long time. Qiu Chief and the men, including Sean, were too lazy to bother with them and planned to spare their lives.

Chief Qiu even found a reason from his own world, saying that it was to avoid destroying the original ecological environment.

But in the end, he was killed by Angelica's command.

Compared to the Qiu chiefs who were planning to slack off, they wanted to go back and rest early. Angelica later explained the specific reason.

Putting aside the racial conflict between humans and most monsters in this world, Angelica had two main reasons for taking action. First, during their pursuit of Gnomhak, the enemy revealed that the wooden wall blocking their advance was made of resilient invisible spider silk.

It was obvious that these spiders were inherently hostile to humans. Taking this as a foundation, it wasn't hard to imagine that Nomhak would bring monsters to attack the mines because these spiders were looking for an opportunity to tip them off.

These spiders had their own way of dying, so Angelica followed their wishes and asked Chief Qiu and his men to send them off.

Of course, the behavior of these spiders reminded Angelica of the Queen Spider series before. Angelica's favorability towards spiders dropped again.

Because Gnomhak had occupied the mine for a short time, the monsters could only go so deep, so Chief Qiu and his group didn't spend much time returning to the outside.

After spending some time explaining the situation to the soldiers stationed outside, Chief Qiu and his group spent some time waiting for the soldiers to go inside and check the actual situation.

Since the soldiers wanted to check, Angelica took some time to handwrite a letter of commission, and waited for the soldiers to return before signing it. Otherwise, by the time those important figures remembered this matter, it would be too late.

By the time the moon was high in the sky, Chief Qiu and his men had finally returned to the Kai Inn. After their inspection, the soldiers were shocked by the remaining battle scene. Combined with Nomhak's previous reputation among the soldiers, Chief Qiu and his men gained nothing but admiration.

The next day, before Chief Qiu and his men could do anything, Angelica and Chief Qiu were invited to the palace again.

"Adventurers, you are here."

As soon as the two enemy chiefs arrived at the hall, Ignacio's kind voice came over.

"May the goddess bless you, Bishop Ignacio."

Qiu Chief glanced around and saw that no one else was moving, so he replied. Of course, Qiu Chief had already recognized its identity and was thinking of letting its soul go to see the goddess.

"Bishop Ignacio mentioned earlier that his men saw you return to heaven last night."

"It seems like you've solved the problem of the Dark Mine, right?"

At this time, Douglas, who was next to Ignacio and closer to Emperor Cassius, asked about what happened yesterday.

"General Douglas, this is the commission completion certificate, signed by the garrisoned soldiers."

"We have prepared this explanation early to prevent the general from disbelieving the situation."

After Angelica finished speaking, she signaled with her eyes for Kuli Qiu to take out the commission completion letter from yesterday.

"Klind, take a look."

Douglas didn't check, instead calling out someone he knew, Chief Qiu. Perhaps because the original high-ranking officials had all perished, Clind had performed well at the Kedra checkpoint. By this point, Clind had replaced his old boss and become Douglas's regular assistant.

Of course, Douglas asked Clind to check, but he didn't know whether the signer was a member of the Dark Mine's security staff. And that person was chosen by Clind, and Douglas knew that Clind would definitely know.

As for why Klind knew this, it was because General Douglas gave power to Klind, the new assistant, and asked him to train a group of confidants and subordinates so that he could gain a firm foothold in this position.

"General, the problem with the Dark Mine has been resolved by Mr. Qiu's adventure team."

Soon, Clind confirmed that everything was correct, and he answered Douglas's question respectfully. When Clind addressed Chief Qiu, he was also more respectful than Chief Qiu expected.

Thanks to the Chieftain and his men, Clind, who had originally expected to be punished, unexpectedly received a promotion and commendation. Douglas was clear about rewards and punishments, and he didn't embarrass Clind and his subordinates for mistakes made by the higher-ups. Rather, it was because Clind's subsequent performances had some highlights that he recognized that led to Clind's current promotion.

In addition, Douglas's military style made him explain the specific situation clearly to Clind and the others. Therefore, Clind had a good impression of Qiu Chief and his team.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if there is any problem in calling us here this time?"

Rather than asking about the commission, Angelica knew that the matter could not be such a trivial one.

"Uncle...Uncle, you should tell me about this matter."

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to General Douglas, and it was recommended by Bishop Ignacio."

"Otherwise, just leave it to them."

Stuart sighed as he looked at the timid Cassius. However, this matter had little to do with him, and it was also an act of exceeding his authority. He opened his mouth and kicked the ball to the victim.

"My two adventurers, I have already learned the ins and outs of the attack on the Dark Lord's territory at the morning meeting."

"I've already asked Klind to gather people to regroup the troops that were raiding the area near Paradise."

Hearing this, Chief Qiu and Angelica turned their heads to look at Klind who was not far away.

In response to the inquiring looks from the two enemy chiefs, Klind nodded slightly.

"At present, there are no problems with the military."

"But elsewhere we have a new problem."

"General, please feel free to speak."

Chief Qiu glanced at Douglas, who was becoming somewhat uncomfortable, and spoke out a signal.

"Adventurers, you may not know that an army marches without the necessary personnel."

"The most important thing for our army is rations to fill their stomachs."

"General Douglas, I understand that food and supplies must be sent before the army moves."

Seeing that Douglas seemed to look down on them, the adventurers, Chief Qiu subconsciously retorted.

"Mr. Qiu, that's a good explanation!"

Faced with Douglas's praise, Chief Qiu couldn't help but blush.

"Now, the problem lies in the food."

"Our holy paradise is located in the Black Mountains,"

"This makes it difficult for us, the residents of Holy Paradise, to grow food. All our food depends mainly on imports from other regions."

"Paradise's main source of food is collected from various locations and finally transported by ship to the port of Hermadei in front of Paradise's southern gate."

"And yesterday, a major accident happened here."

At this point, Douglas became a little serious.
