Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 530 - 480: Make the First Move
On the spacious meeting table.
Kane sat at the head position, resting his hands on his chin in contemplation.
He seemed to have figured it out. ๐ง๐โฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ท๐ฆ๐ญ.๐ธโด๐
He turned to Kallen, who was most familiar with the dungeonโs current situation, and asked, "Kallen, how does the strength of our soldiers currently rank among the forces in this area?"
"Master, the strength of these soldiers is top-notch throughout the entire region, especially now that all forces have reverted to their original state."
If what Kallen said is accurate, the 1000-plus members of the Lantern Knight Order, together with Liruluโs Fairy Tale Guard Knight Order and the commanders and female soldier units before them.
They are indeed one of the top forces in this land, especially since what they are facing now are no longer the unified single force like before, but rather a collection of various small to large forces.
Among these forces, troop strength varies widely, some strong, some weak.
Overall strength is unevenly distributed.
Unlike their current situation, where there are no weak troops, just all top-tier.
The only regret is that they are indeed too few in number now, with only just over 1000 to up to 2000 soldiers, compared to forces ranging from ten to twenty thousand, some having as many as seventy to eighty thousand.
Itโs indeed not very advantageous.
"What about the loyalty of these soldiers? Why do they remain loyal to their forces even after gaining freedom?" Kane wondered.
"They are created to be that way, loyal to their own forces, trying to defect or betray them is nearly impossible."
Hearing Kallenโs response, Kane sighed; the best-case scenario was gone.
If these forces could be recruited or joined upon conquest, it wouldnโt be a matter of being one or two steps ahead but rather standing directly on the finish line.
Somewhat of a pity, indeed.
Although Kane had thought of such a scenario, who wouldnโt hold out some hope for these things?
According to the dungeons Kane has experienced, if they all materialized, nearly none would be a match for this War Dungeon.
But if thereโs such a loyalty mechanism, then the dungeonโs strength would be greatly reduced, as they themselves arenโt united either.
The purpose they were created for causes them to always oppose each other and clash endlessly.
Just like when Kane and his team cleared the dungeon before, even at the last moment when the dungeon was about to shatter, the forcibly united forces were still sabotaging each other.
This indicates they are unlikely to be loyal together facing outward, yet it paradoxically ensures that no single entity dominates the entire World Ring.
Thinking of this, Kane said, "Then you coordinate through the Guild Hall to find a time for gathering our forces, then select a prime location to seize."
Afterward, Kane instructed Kallen, "At that time, you, Dark Servants, will handle external reconnaissance, scout adjoining dungeons in detail, and pay attention to other forces as necessary."
"As for gathering and seizing territory, Iโll leave that to Bonona and Abby to manage, alright? Does anyone else have suggestions?"
Seeing everyone shaking their heads, Kane nodded and dismissed the meeting.
Following that, Abby and Bonona engaged in intense discussions, while others waited nearby.
They needed to choose a suitable gathering spot and select a perfect terrain as their base, considering each oneโs circumstances and location.
Currently, they are indeed very strong; capturing a prime territory as long as its influence on other forces is not excessive would pose no issues at all.
After all, these forces are entirely free now, and they wouldnโt suddenly have intense thoughts against these newly formed forces due to the dungeon.
If the strength is overwhelming, they would only compromise and give way, since everyone is besieged in the same dungeon, being harmonious is fine.
Because Kane and his team are no longer in the dungeon, they cannot provide much support to these soldiers now.
Subsequently, Kane explained the new guild functions to them, and Bonona and the other commanders expressed high praise for individual space.
They even planned to reside here long-term.
Kane even prepared to spend more Copper Magic Stone to further expand the Guild Hall and specially furnish some meeting rooms for these commanders to use.
After Bonona and her team discussed and finalized, Kane summoned Bonona and Abby.
He held out some Silver Equipment, handed them to the people before him, and asked, "Try them on to see if you can wear them and obtain the attributes of the equipment."
Previously, since they were members of the dungeon, they were considered non-entities, unable to use equipment.
But Kane had just checked their information, and the seals on the skill grid and origin skill bar had completely vanished, indicating they had successfully joined the Mist.
Bonona put on a pair of armguards, enhancing her strength and agility attributes.
She swung her arms a few times, feeling the sudden increase in power.
"This equipment is strong."
Kane watched the others do the same and finally smiled.
Indeed, they can wear equipment now.
However, the problem now is that the guildโs warehouse doesnโt have enough Silver Equipment to fully arm the remaining soldiers in the guild.
