Chapter 84: Triumph, and Urgent Mission Rewards
Of course, whether it is the path of career advancement after the total level of 20 or the part-time option to consider for Thea in the future, the most important thing for the Thorn Squad at the moment is to get out of here as soon as possible before the demonic beasts and shadow druid believers on the outskirts of the cave are aware of it, after all, the decapitation operation planned by Urs has now been overdone.
The deaths of Angdor and Danar have deprived both the bandit gangs of the Sawtooth Camp and the Shadow Druids of the Spotted Axe Forest of their leaders,
Then, everyone took all the gains from this operation, and left the dungeon of the Shadow Cave along the same path according to the pre-planned operation process.
The route of evacuation was the same as when they came - although the entrance to the Secret Way in the middle of the cavern area was suspended from the roof of the cave about three meters above the ground, but the young party had been able to procure various adventure tools for the emergency before they set out from Twilight City and arrived at Logging Village, so that after the group turned back to the cave room where they had originally entered the dungeon area, Gloleiden used a hook attached to the rope to climb back into the cave first. The others were then roped up from under the hole in the Tunnel, and the only episode that could be called a little bit of a fork in the process was that Koto's climbing skills were a little clumsy.
The dwarven warrior has a lot of physical exertion, the muscles of his limbs are sore and painful, and the equipment on his body and his own weight are not light at all.
Fortunately, both Stonefist and Urs himself can be regarded as big men in the eyes of normal people. The young man let the dwarf step on his shoulder, and sent him up to the cave by a human ladder, and finally followed him as a follow-up officer on the tail of the team, and then returned to the surface of the forest along the dark tunnel with his teammates, until finally there were no more accidents, and he successfully returned to the logging village by the evening of the same day, and handed over the heads of the bandit leader and the shadow druid in the branch hall of the adventurers' association in the village to show to the adventurers, including the three adventurers of Orichalcum, Shaved Blade, and Hummingbird.
Danar's appearance may have been completely unfamiliar to everyone except Urs, but few of the village guards and villagers did not recognize Angdor's standard villain face, which seemed to be inherently vicious.
Everyone confirmed the facts, and realized that Urs's team had actually killed the bandit leader of the Sawtooth Camp - although this feat was a completely unexpected honor in the eyes of the young man himself, after all, he had never imagined that he would be able to kick the bosses of the two different quests of Angdor and Danar in a single battle that was not too difficult.
However, after returning to the logging village, Urs did not rush to further annihilate the other bandits in the sawtooth camp in the northern part of the forest and the remnants of the shadow druids under the command of Danar, but proposed that everyone should stay in the village and stay patiently for a few more days, and suggested that the three adventure groups involved in this mission should send reliable thief adventurers in the group to patrol the forest area near the village in rotation to detect whether the whereabouts of the monsters will gradually decrease with the passage of time in recent days.
According to the plot flow of the game, he remembers that the bandits who have lost their leaders will soon become a mess, and several of the high-level bandit cadres who usually assist Angdo are simply in line with the various characters of the chaotic evil camp, and they have launched a struggle for power within the organization in order to ascend to the throne of the new leader. The other Druids in the Shadow Caverns in the eastern part of the forest also began to withdraw from the Spotted Axe Forest in a mass after about two or three days, fearful of their personal safety and shaking of their overall cohesion, due to the assassination of their leader.
The young man stepped forward to lead the team in the killing of Danar and Angdor, opening up a rigid situation for the adventurers' mission plans, and at the same time earning him the respect of the people.
The adventurers still had a slight fear of this slave knight from the Golden Oriole Empire, but they changed many of their past preconceptions and opinions about his personality and conduct, and chose to carry out the plan he proposed by a majority vote - among them, the Sawyer Boots of the Shaved Blade Adventure Band, the straightforward halfling thief, expressed his sincere gratitude to Urs for completing his revenge on Angdor on his behalf. Directly under the gaze of many people, he unsheathed a dagger from his leggings and slapped it on the table and gave it to Urs, declaring that the Shaving Blade Adventure Group has since officially befriended the Thorn Squad.
The dagger is a small soldier with +1 enchantment—
【Sawyer's Short Boots' Throwing Dagger】
Item Type: Dagger +1 (Magic Item)
Weapon Damage: 1d4+1 (Slash/Pierc)
Switchback throw
Requirements: 5 Strength
- This lightly enchanted dagger was used by a halfling thief named Sawa Boots. It seems to be connected to the bearer's soul, and when you throw it, it will automatically return to your hand shortly after, regardless of whether it hits an enemy or not, and will not hurt yourself.
The Dagger has very limited weapon damage, but compared to its weapons, it is lightweight, cheap, and easy to carry around, whether it is a versatile tool for survival in the wild, a secondary weapon for fighters to use in emergencies, a killer weapon for thieves to stealthily backstab, or a medium-range attack method.
Urs himself was not good at using daggers, and Thea, Stonefist, and Kotor's fighting styles often didn't use them, and Glorydon already had the Sour Fang Crossbow - so he thanked the Halfling Thief and assigned the +1 dagger with the "Throwback Throw" attribute to the Bard Ravenel on the team.
On the eighth day of the Budding Month, a week after the time in the village flashed by, the various changes in the Spotted Axe Forest were indeed like the development of the plot in the game.
The sight of the monster continued to disappear for several days, proving that the remnants of the shadow druids in the forest seemed to have quietly evacuated the wooded area.
Instead of launching a retaliatory attack on the logging village for Angdor's disappearance, the adventurers of the three regiments of Orichalcum, Shaver and Hummingbird decided to join forces, and instead of the Thorn Squad and other scattered adventurers and the village guards, they stayed behind and planned and launched an effective attack to destroy the bandits' camp that had become vulnerable after several internal struggles.
Eventually, the old village chief Gazi woke up from his hospital bed on the third day of the budding month, and the emergency mission that the adventurers had accepted to participate in this time was successfully completed, and the Warcraft crisis in the logging village was resolved and the cause of the incident was also identified.
The dead were buried in a small cemetery near the village, and the living returned triumphantly, returning to the headquarters of the Adventurers' Guild in Twilight with a letter written by the old village chief Gazi, and reporting the entire process of the mission to Irina, the half-elf lady who was the head of the association.
The Adventurers' Guild headquarters in Twilight City did not treat the adventurers who participated in the operation this time.
The lady in charge, Irina, fulfilled the promise she made to everyone on behalf of the association, and spent several days rewarding everyone according to their merits, and settled a large number of association points, gold coins, alchemy potions, adventure materials and props and even some magic equipment as rewards for this mission to the adventurers who returned with victory.
As for the Thorn Squad, Urs's team was unanimously recognized by Carlos Love, Sawyer Boots, and Ekarila Lin Ying on behalf of the three adventure groups of Orichalcos, Shaved Blade, and Hummingbird, respectively, and was selected as the most active team in this mission, and in addition to receiving the above-mentioned generous rewards, they also received an additional unexpected reward.
The reward was a stack of paper documents in the nature of a contract, the real estate deed of a mansion and villa in a wealthy area of the city.
