Chapter 205 Commander, the car is ready
After receiving the certificate allowing him to leave Orario, Roy bid farewell to Eina and left the guild headquarters.
The upcoming expedition is imminent, but everything will have to wait until he returns. Only Ryu, Daphne, and Cassandra are unlikely to venture into the depths.
Guild-mandated tasks cannot be refused, otherwise, you will face huge fines.
However, guilds also need to consider various factors.
If we really push those adventurous people who live on the edge to the limit, it will make everyone lose face.
The former Astrea Familia cleared the 41st floor without any LV.5 adventurers.
The guild's arrangement of an expedition to the 37th floor is not unacceptable, but the biggest problem is that, apart from Ryu, Roy, Tione, and Tiona have never entered the deeper levels of the dungeon.
If an accident occurs, it will be difficult to handle alone, and then it will be Liu, the nanny, who will take care of them.
Before an expedition, you should try your best to improve the strength of your clan members. Even if you can't level up, you should at least push their stats to the limit of their potential.
I need to pick another dungeon with a lot of monsters.
To be honest, it's not easy to find.
Killing goblin-level zombies is of little help to adventurers of level 2 and above; even after a day and a night of fighting, it only increases attribute points by twenty or thirty.
Lost in thought, Roy returned to the Star Garden, where Tiony and Tiona were preparing the carriage.
Astraea prepared plenty of supplies for them, fearing that the children would get cold or hungry on the road.
call out!
Roy waved his hand and put all the supplies on the ground into his spatial ring.
This ring is extremely convenient; it's a must-have for home, travel, and exploring dungeons!
Roy once took some time to study the space ring and try to replicate it.
However, even with his current forging skills, he couldn't understand the internal structure, let alone forge it. He could only barely tell that its material was a special stone containing spatial laws, which the god Gubernius had mentioned.
Its value is no less than that of top-tier legendary equipment!
Roy could only pin his hopes on the dungeon rewards. He could open more treasure chests and maybe get a new ring. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone had one?
"Commander, the vehicle is ready!"
Roy casually took out a bottle of milk and chug it down. Before he could finish it, Tiona ran over excitedly and waved to Roy as if to show off her success.
Upon hearing Tiona's voice, Roy spat out the milk in his mouth with a "pfft".
"Hey, Commander, what are you doing?" Tiona was sprayed all over and made a face.
Roy glared at Tiona and solemnly declared, "By the supreme authority of the captain, I hereby forbid anyone from ever uttering those words within the clan again!"
Why?
"This is too barbaric! This is dictatorship!"
Roy blatantly ignored the protests. From now on, anyone who dares to break this taboo will be punished with a spanking, which he will personally carry out.
Looking at her younger sister Tiona's wolf-fox appearance, Tione's face showed envy. If it were the captain's milk, then it wouldn't be unacceptable.
After some playful banter, everything was ready. Roy, Tione, Tiona, and their third uncle, Sirin, boarded a carriage and left Orario, embarking on their journey back to the Kingdom of Lachia.
It was only because Xilin was an ordinary person that a carriage was prepared; otherwise, given Roy and the others' physical condition, their speed on foot would be faster than that of ordinary horses.
Even so, the Astrea Familia, with its vast wealth and power, uses horses that are hybrids of monsters, capable of traveling a thousand miles a day without a problem.
Tiona was driving in front.
Roy, Thione, and Sirin sat in the carriage.
Yesterday, he only got a rough idea of what had happened in his hometown. After resting, his third uncle's spirits had recovered, and Roy continued to ask, "Third Uncle, in previous years, they only recruited about ten people. Why are they asking for so many this year?"
Roy had lived in that village for over a decade and knew the Lachia Kingdom inside and out.
Xilin looked worried. "Yes, I heard that the amount of food and manpower requisitioned from the nearby villages is the same as before. I don't know why it's ten times more than when it's our turn, and there are also a lot of soldiers."
Xilin's eyes were bitter; for them, the sudden change was a devastating disaster.
Are the other villages the same as before?
Roy narrowed his eyes slightly.
Afterwards, Roy asked the other party some more detailed questions, and half an hour later, he had a general understanding of the specific situation.
At first, the amount of grain and people requisitioned from their village was the same as before, but then it was suddenly changed.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of soldiers they had never seen before arrived. They were heavily armored and looked formidable. These soldiers simply surrounded the village without harming the villagers, giving them a grace period.
Xilin, the farmer, probably didn't think anything of it.
As adventurers, Roy and Tione wouldn't have survived this long if they weren't shrewd. They exchanged a glance and realized something: the two conscription orders weren't for the same group of people.
The family carriage was just a cover; Roy originally planned to use the Flying Hoof Thunder Ox and the Divine Wheel to get back within three to five hours after leaving the city.
There's no need for that now.
He was 90% certain it was a trap!
Kingdom of Lachia, Dennis Village.
The entire village was surrounded by a large number of soldiers, so many that not even a rat could escape. The villagers looked on with fear, but dared not speak out.
At this moment, in the old village chief Simon's house, a handsome man sat in the high seat, broad-shouldered and burly, his strong body clad in bright red armor, with gleaming golden hair like a lion.
He exuded a faint divine aura, proving that he was a deity and the ruler of the Kingdom of Lachia.
There were also a large number of guards around.
After Xilin escaped, they no longer needed to hide.
A guard reported, "Lord Ares, as you predicted, the old man's son has escaped and gone to Orario to inform the 'Sprouts of Justice'."
"Hahaha, as expected of me, the God, to come up with such a brilliant plan!" Ares laughed triumphantly, hands on his hips.
Old village chief Simon and his granddaughter hid to one side.
But at this moment, no one paid any attention to the helpless old man and child; their plan had succeeded.
Roy's legendary rapid level-up brought the village not only honor but also disaster.
Ares was drawn there.
Using the conscription order to make things difficult for the village, they deliberately let the old village chief's son go out. When he learned that his hometown was in trouble, his sense of justice compelled him to return and help.
"The 'Child of Miracles,' whom the gods of Orario sought but could not obtain, will now fall under my spell! Hahahaha!" Ares let out a hearty laugh.
Old village chief Simon lowered his head, a hint of disdain flashing deep in his cloudy eyes. Roy, that kid, was someone he had raised himself; he was incredibly cunning.
Unless Roy was driven mad by monsters in Orario, it's impossible for him to fall into such a simple trap.
