Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 529 - 479 The Situation After the Dungeon Devouring

Chapter 529: Chapter 479 The Situation After the Dungeon Devouring

At this moment.

In the guild hall resembling a tavern’s main hall, one figure after another appeared within the dungeon.

These individuals were clad in various light armor, with red accents adorning their armor, along with cloaks, shields, and some detailed patterns of the Lantern Seal on them.

These details unerringly informed Kane of who these people were.

Watching as more people continued to enter.

Kane immediately said, "All soldiers, except those holding official positions, proceed to the knight residence."

In response to Kane’s words, the soldiers who entered first immediately stood at attention and saluted: "Yes!"

Then they queued up to open a pair of double doors next to the guild hall and walked inside.

Following a flicker of light, one figure after another appeared in the guild hall.

Seeing their comrades entering the knight residence, they didn’t ask questions and silently followed them inside.

Although Kane had previously expanded the guild hall, it was only extended to 600 square meters.

The various furniture and decorations assembled there couldn’t accommodate so many people.

As the figures flickered, Polona, Ironhoof, Abby, Mark, and others came in one by one.

They immediately found a spot to sit down beside them, waiting for all the guild members to enter.

This naturally included Ghost Maid and Dark Servant, these two female troop types.

Besides members of the Lantern Knight Order, there was also Sister Lulu’s Fairy Tale Guard Knight Order.

These people had no residence, so they stayed in the guild hall, though accommodating them was no issue.

When all the flickering figures had ceased.

At this moment, in the guild hall, apart from the two captains and deputy commanders of the knight orders, Abby and Mark, the rest of the more than 1000 members of the Lantern Knight Order had entered the knight residence next door.

"Brother Kane!"

Two little ones with green hair each hugged one of Kane’s legs.

Kane looked at them and smiled, patting their heads: "Mimina, be good and let Sister Lulu take you to play."

Not very interested in the upcoming topic, Sister Lulu smiled and took Mimina into a nearby personal space.

She incidentally brought most of her Fairy Tale Guard Knight Order’s ordinary members into the Fairy Tale World, similarly leaving only the captain and deputy commander.

After all, the Fairy Tale Knight Order’s members were fewer compared to the Lantern Knight Order, with over 200 light cavalry for melee and over 300 Fairy Tale Mages for ranged combat, totaling nearly 600 people.

Thus, the only ones left present were the key members of Kane’s entire guild.

Kane waved his hand, causing all the tables, chairs, and benches in the guild hall to disappear, replaced by a wide meeting table.

The Ghost Maid took over various sanitation, drinks, and kitchen matters in the hall upon entering.

The Dark Servant habitually dispatched a small team when not summoned by Kane, merging into his hand, while the other members hid in the hall’s shadows.

However, Kane also had Kallen and Rosalie sit at the central meeting table, taking a place of honor.

Now, the central meeting table held the core members of the current guild.

Kane sat at the head seat, with Kreya and Longbei seated on either side.

Looking at the guild members before him, Kane said, "Your arrival at this time caught me somewhat off guard, but I still have many questions that need answering from you."

"Bonona, speak about the situation you experienced after being swallowed in the dungeon."

Kane first questioned the general under his previous command.

Bonona nodded: "After we exhausted ourselves clearing all the enemy troops within the fortress, the Mist in the sky descended upon us, burying everyone."

"At that time, we felt as if we had fallen asleep, but it didn’t take long for us all to wake up. Upon waking, I returned to a place from a long time ago, my home, where the world hadn’t fractured yet."

"Staying there felt like waking from a dream, as if the world hadn’t fractured, like everything was as it once was."

Hearing Bonona’s response, Kane nodded with a frown, then asked other recruited generals and received identical answers.

Before the world’s fracture, their residences were similarly located in regions constantly at war, commonly hidden in more secretive corners.

Then, walking through battlefield areas, ordinary soldiers typically wouldn’t affront them, allowing them to hone themselves by joining different factions as per their preferences and goals.

After the Mist descended, they all seemed to return to the past, but their memories told them it was no longer the past.

After listening to the generals’ answers, Kane turned his attention to Abby and Mark, who were previously ordinary soldiers or squad leaders.

"Abby, Mark, share your experiences."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, Abby and Mark nodded and said, "We merely returned to our former factions, like before the world fractured, I belonged to the Black side, while Mark belonged to the Gray side."

"I asked our former comrades; they actually have memories as ordinary soldiers, including memories of fighting in the dungeon for various leaders, but now they are all free, just like me.

The only difference is they have once again returned to the factions they originally pledged loyalty to, still devoted to them."

Hearing Abby and Mark’s accounts, Kane nodded again, as these two remained ordinary soldiers in their past positions, and that hadn’t changed.

If you want to understand the current situation of the dungeon through them, it might be somewhat unrealistic.

Kane pondered for a moment and said, "So who among you now understands the whole situation of the dungeon."

Kane urgently needs information about the entire environment within the dungeon to make decisions based on it later.

Faced with Kane’s question, both ordinary soldiers and the hero commanders recruited shook their heads.

Although they had awakened shortly and intended to enter the Guild Hall, they were stopped and could only feel the changes in their bodies.

Once the changes ceased, they all entered the Guild Hall.

This happened over one or two days, meaning now the dungeon they reside in is completely synchronized with the outside.

For example, it’s now noon both inside and outside the dungeon.

In these one or two days they managed to understand the surrounding environment, the changes in various forces, and the surrounding soldiers.

"Master, let me speak."

Kallen, wearing a mask, spoke in a hollow yet airy voice.

It was then Kane remembered Kallen’s and these Dark Servants’ former work.

They once belonged to the Creators of the races of this world, helping to oversee various races.

They indeed have the capital and capability to be the first to notice the general changes within the entire dungeon.

"After we woke up, we scouted the entire dungeon scope. As before, we are still covered by the white mist, but during the time we entered, all the white walls vanished, and the mist conveyed information to us."

"You can also receive it if you go out now," she said to the soldiers and commanders at the table.

"This information roughly told us we’re free now but need to stay in this area first, and informed us about the conditions outside, that is, about the area where Master resides, and various common knowledge."

We were also told that the earth we’re standing on has become part of this world, though not connected to the outside, but rather joined with other dungeons that have become part of the world.

This means next to our map are other shattered worlds, and the mist prohibits us from attacking different shattered worlds before the Wall of Mist between inner and outer worlds disappears.

Yet... it allows internal conflicts within our world."

The wave of information Kallen delivered brought vital intelligence.

Firstly, their world successfully became part of the World Ring and joined with other dungeons.

This information Kane actually already knew, also not long ago.

Such information can be found when the World Ring opens, as long as you have certain strength or strength.

And the monsters in the dungeon were transformed into reality, removing the resurrection mechanism within the dungeon.

Furthermore, these monsters also turned real, no longer targeting Explorers as they did before.

Rather they returned to their previous states, where various beasts, magic beasts, and monsters act based on instinct and habit.

While those intelligent beings receive warnings from the mist not to attack each other before the World Ring opens.

Otherwise, when the World Ring opens and Explorers enter, it would definitely end in chaos.

However, it allows internal conflict within the world. Kane did not know such intelligence.

This point provides them a substantial space for maneuver.

The reason the World Ring attracts so many Explorers is that it presents new territories with various specialties, powers, races, and even knowledge.

The worldly outside has entered a stable period, and ordinary Guilds or Battle Groups, no matter how strong you are, cannot rashly attack or seize these kingdoms.

To become a first-class or top power, vast territories are essential.

And the World Ring grants ambitious individuals an opportunity.

When the World Ring opens, as long as you have the capability and charisma and conquer the natives of this territory, then you naturally can occupy it.

And now Kane and his team can operate inside it even before the World Ring opens; although they cannot enter themselves, so many soldiers are more than enough.

They just need to seize suitable territory and then collect intelligence about the surrounding forces aggressively during the time when fragments can’t fight each other. When the World Ring opens, Kane and his team can take over the territory quickly.

Then, using the intelligence, they can maneuver surrounding forces.

Bear in mind the soldiers under their command now, all have strength above Silver medium.

These soldiers who completely obey them amount to nearly 2000 people, including a commander like Bonona who is about to break through to gold level.

This is utterly winning at the starting line through strength.

Most other forces know nothing about the World Ring.

Perhaps some top powers can gain the World Ring information through certain means, but no one can ensure this won’t happen. However, they are not competing on the same track as Kane.

Kane’s rivals are those ordinary Battle Groups or higher-level Guilds.

Compared to them, Kane is already a step ahead.

Not only did Kane think of this, but Kreya next to him thought of it as well.

The appearance of this situation naturally brings excitement and makes one feel lucky.
