1833 Chapter 1833. The Twenty-four Departs

After the bout, Wilted gave David and Freddie unique-grade equipment for their prize. She also asked each of the twenty-four players outside her group about their equipment. She brought plenty of high-grade equipment with her. She wanted to share this equipment to improve the overall battle power of the twenty-four players.

Wilted’s people gasped when they learned about the equipment worn by Jack, Grace, and Red Death. These three wore a full set of legendary-grade equipment.

Red Death had reached level 80. Her armor was similar to Grace’s, a set of sealed equipment given by the Goddess of Wrath. Like Grace’s, her equipment also returned to its original state, the legendary grade. People who stood near her involuntarily moved away because they felt an uneasy feeling from her. A feeling as if something dangerous was stalking them.

Wilted’s gang was also surprised to find plenty of the players outside the three to possess one or two legendary-grade equipment. Badass and Nameless no longer dared to look down on Jack’s group.

However, only Jack’s closest circle had that kind of equipment quality. People like David and Scarface still mostly used rare or super-rare equipment. Wilted gave them some unique-grade equipment.

“So, I will still get the unique-grade equipment even without the bout?” David asked.

Wilted only smiled in response to the question.

Will finally appeared around an hour after the bout ended. John gave him an earful for being so late. They were ready to depart now.

“Whatever you go there for, good luck,” Domon said to Jack.

“You are going to the front line. You will need that more than me,” Jack returned.

“Master, don’t push yourself too hard on the battlefield,” Leavemealone said to Domon. “You have to keep yourself safe.”

Domon chuckled. “I can say the same thing to you. Don’t strain yourself too much. You are always overdoing it. Keep it balanced. Relax a little.”

“Yeah. You should learn how to relax, man,” Jack said.

“I don’t want to hear that from you!” Leavemealone exclaimed.

Red Death was talking to Wong who was also there, “Thank you, Master. With your training these past few days, I’ve improved much.”

“Be safe,” Wong said to her.

Red Death felt weird hearing that. The old Wong would never say such words to her.

Murong and Muilan were here too to send off Four Winds and Grace.

“Make sure to watch each other’s back. The two of you are martial brother and sister,” Murong said.

Four Winds chuckled. “I think she has someone more capable than me to watch her back.”

After a short farewell with those who sent them off, the twenty-four players walked to the palace’s teleportation chamber. Twenty-three teleported to the city closest to the Dorwin region, while Jack teleported to a city in Hydrurond.

The reason Jack went there was because the Themisphere army and the mobile fortress had just arrived there. This army was now preparing the defenses along Hydrurond’s border. Jack went into the mobile fortress and used his Judgement of Past Kings. He then bound those kings to the Chalice of Blood inside the mobile throne room.

“Protect this place as best you can until my return, okay?” Jack said to Theridan and the others.

“Don’t worry, young king. Leave this place to us. You do what you need to do,” Theridan said.

“Yes. We will protect this place with our lives! Er… I mean, our… afterlife, I guess?” Thebalder said.

“Hehe. All right, I’m leaving. The others are waiting for me,” Jack said.

When Jack left, Jack saw many natives from the league factions were there. They helped prepare the defenses. Most of these natives were members of the Builder Union. It was a league faction unassociated with any of the player’s class or auxiliary skills. This faction had members who could build independent structures independent of the country system.

They were here to build walls and fences to slow the underworld forces. The walls they built possessed decent HP and defensive properties, similar to any defensive structure a country built.

The Alchemist Union was brewing a large number of potions for the army. The Blacksmith Circle was hard at work in crafting weapons and armor. The Scroll Masters were making magic scrolls to arm the soldiers who couldn’t use magic. The Trade Association was securing rations to send to the front line. With them providing these provisions, countries no longer needed to concern themselves with supplies. They could focus all their resources on training soldiers.

There were also runemasters from the Runecraft Society. They were people with high runecrafting skills and were experts in rune diagrams. They used their technique to add rune diagrams to the walls and fences built by the Builder Union, enhancing their defensive capabilities.

Jack also saw the members of the Hunter’s Lodge. These people went around and placed traps near the fences and walls. Their traps were similar to the ones laid using technocraft’s skills but theirs lasted indefinitely and affected a large area.

From John’s report, Jack knew the other league factions were also hard at work. League factions with battle capability were sending their members to join the fight. Those without battle capability were helping in different ways like the ones he saw here.

The Alchemist Union was brewing a large number of potions for the army. The Blacksmith Circle was hard at work in crafting weapons and armor. The Scroll Masters were making magic scrolls to arm the soldiers who couldn’t use magic. The Trade Association was securing rations to send to the front line. With them providing these provisions, countries no longer needed to concern themselves with supplies. They could focus all their resources on training soldiers.

Jack watched the hard-working people from the sky. The scene brought him hope. With everyone working together like this, they might yet overcome this calamity.

He didn’t dwell long. He returned to the city and used the zone portal to teleport to the city where John and the others had teleported to. He then resummoned Pandora and took to the sky.

The others had departed earlier, but his steed easily caught up to them.

The rest of the twenty-three players were all exceptional players. They all had unusual steeds. The lowest grade of their steeds was super rare grade. But when Jack arrived, he still attracted everyone’s attention. This was because his steed was the only one with the legendary grade.

“How did you evolve your nightmare into that form?” Wilted asked. She didn’t remember implementing such a feature.

“Folks, we have a deadline to catch,” John said. “This entire trip can be pointless for all I know, so it’s best if we finish it as earliest as possible. If you want to chat, do it on the road. We will spend most of our time speeding. Rest will only be six hours a day.”

“You heard the boss. I will tell you on the way,” Jack said to Wilted.

“I thought you were the boss?” Badass asked Jack.

“What did I say, people?! Let’s move!” John’s kelpie galloped forward.

The others followed suit.
