Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 740 - 651 Tactical Success

The raid annihilation battle, once it starts, ends quickly.

In just 10 minutes, the enemy was completely wiped out, leaving a ground littered with bodies.

Even if there were enemies trying to escape, they would be chopped down by the furious Funa and others.

Though the enemy's numbers were several times that of the Knight Order members, half of them were only of Copper level, while the other half, of Silver level, were mostly of moderate strength.

The cannibal ghosts, who could match the Knight Order in strength, served as captains and commanders, but their numbers were scarce.

Not only were they lacking in strength, but their equipment was no match for the Lantern Knight Order.

Not to mention that the Lantern Knight Order possessed weapons with Silver Metal Enchantment, aided by the Explorer Squad for support and raids.

Throughout the battle, the Knight Order didn't lose anyone, and even injuries were minimal. The few injuries were just superficial, recovering under the golden raindrops before Finaris could even heal them.

The Knight Order sent some members to collect equipment and various usable materials from the bodies.

These could even be considered magic equipment, not to be wasted.

The Knight Order captain and Funa led the remaining members to the plaza.

The blue-skinned race, bound and tied, were all trapped here.

These present civilians didn't know if the people before them were friends or foes, but they at least looked similar to them, with only a difference in skin color, and they had helped them eliminate those man-eating monsters.

At least, it gave them a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Then, the Knight Order captain waved a hand, and some members stepped forward, cutting the ropes binding them with their blades.

Finaris stepped forward, waving her magic staff, scattering golden light onto these civilians.

They watched as the wounds on their bodies quickly began to heal.

Seeing this scene, they realized the golden raindrops that had fallen from the sky earlier were from this young lady.

Some elderly people and women couldn't help but kneel down in gratitude to Finaris.

Finaris looked at these civilians, speaking in a holy and gentle tone: "There's no need to fear anymore. The monsters that harmed you have been completely destroyed. You are safe now."

As Finaris's words fell, some civilians couldn't help but cry.

It was unclear whether they were overwhelmed with relief for their safety or in sorrow for the loss of their comrades.

Finaris, embracing her past Saintess duties, began to comfort the civilians before her. Her holy spells, pure appearance, and gentle tone quickly increased the affection these civilians felt.

Beside her, Funa and the others watched this scene with wide eyes.

"Is this really Finaris?" Rui couldn't help but say.

Funa, although shocked, explained, "Didn't we talk about this before? Finaris used to be a Saintess of some Holy Teachings in the Dungeon."

"Of course I know, it's just the first time seeing it, it's a little shocking."

You know, when exploring and living with us, Finaris was always carefree, smiling, and a bit mischievous.

Just a playful girl, nothing like her current demeanor, where her mere presence and actions bring peace of mind to others. Anyone unacquainted with her would be instantly fooled.

They would truly believe her to be a gentle and holy existence.

If Kane and the others were to hear their thoughts, they would surely give them a thumbs-up.

They had been fooled before too; she is truly deserving of her upbringing as a Saintess.

After calming these civilians, Finaris said, "Your home has been destroyed, and these man-eating monsters won't spare you either. Hurry and escape from here."

"Saintess, please save us!" An elder came forward, kneeling before Finaris in plea.

"Please, stand up. I will find a way to save you. Just give me a little time."

After helping the elder up, Finaris made her way to the Knight Order captain, pretending to have a conversation and even starting a mysterious dispute.

On the other side, Funa and the others were dumbfounded, wondering how she managed that.

After what seemed like a heated argument, Finaris walked over with excitement and said to the civilians before her, "Now, quickly pack your things and follow me. I will take you to our territory, where soldiers as strong as these knights will protect you. There, you can live peacefully and have your own piece of land."

Just escaping death, these people didn't think much and just kept thanking her.

With heavy hearts, they gathered the remains of their fellow kin, burying them in the ground.

Then everyone quickly gathered all the unburnt grains and properties, took the refugees through the trail back to the earlier valley.

On the way back, Funa and the others couldn't help but give Finaris a thumbs-up.

Finaris playfully winked at them, as if to say: No big deal.

...

In the air above a certain area.

Kane, with Eagle Eye, surveyed below: "Funa and the others have succeeded and are on their way back."

Kreya looked at the real-time map, observing the movements of all sides on it.

"There are battles on the other sides too, but still no sign of the enemy's Gold level commanders."

"Not so quickly, at least wait until this wave of our battle succeeds, then the enemy might respond. They probably haven't received any news yet," Kane said, sharing his perspective.

Then he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Lilulu and asked, "Lilulu, how's the preparation of the teleportation gate? Can it operate stably?"

Lilulu nodded, "Rest assured, it's already been debugged, and I brought some Fairy Tale Mages to assist in maintaining it, so rest assured."

Hearing Lilulu's words, Kane nodded.

Since the Fairy Tale World is currently placed in the Platinum Country, Lilulu can no longer open the Fairy Tale World as freely as before.

She must be like other Fairy Tale Mages, summoning fairy tale elements requires spending magic power, summoning them one by one.

And she must use magic power to maintain the existence of these elements.

However, there is another way, which is to directly bring them from the Platinum Country.

Creatures from the Fairy Tale World are not affected by the Mist and can freely shuttle between the World Ring and the Platinum Country.

Because it is essentially not a part of the Platinum Country.

The teleportation array is the stable version used during Kane's raid.

To address the personnel transport problem of the World Ring, a teleportation array is essential.

Lilulu spent the past six months researching teleportation arrays, bringing her Fairy Tale Mages to study together.

Fortunately, the Mist Council's records on teleportation arrays were very detailed. Kane and their team spent some contributions and, coupled with their golden-level privileges, exchanged for some key information.

They successfully completed a temporary stable teleportation station within these six months, but its distance is not very far and has certain limitations.

Actually, if willing to spend a large sum of money, one could purchase finished products from the Mist Council, but the price was unacceptable to Kane and their team.

However, world-level forces will surely prepare many.

If lacking funds, one can only rely on hard work.

What Kane and their team don't lack now is a variety of talents.

And as time goes on, the talents under their command will only increase.

The teleportation array is placed in the valley of their temporary command post, and the other end is naturally within the Knight Territory.

This distance is achievable by the teleportation station.

The rescued refugees will quickly go to the territory through this teleportation station.

If they relied on foot power all the way, too many unexpected events could occur, and the Cannibal Ghosts would surely detect the movement, making their journey difficult.

The plan's first day yielded perfect results.

On six battlefields, Kane and their team achieved victory, annihilating the enemy forces, with only two Knight Order members losing their lives.

However, they were revived at the Spring of Rebirth by Kane, and after revival, they naturally could not stay on the front lines but had to be replaced by the rear defense forces.

The reason for their deaths was that Gnate and others couldn't resist acting after witnessing the Cannibal Ghosts' cruel actions.

The Knight Order captain had no choice but to launch an attack, missing the best opportunity, resulting in unnecessary losses.

Gnate and the others were punished, spending contributions and Magic Stones to revive the Knight Order members who died because of their actions, and also compensating them with some items as compensation.

In the end, they were also severely scolded by Kane.

However, there was no need to take drastic measures against them, but rather let them continue operating on the front lines.

Because such a scenario was anticipated by Raphael and Kane.

The Cannibal Ghosts' actions would surely infuriate many Explorers who couldn't control themselves.

The result was that only Gnate's squad lost control of their emotions and acted, which was beyond Kane's expectations.

In Kane's expectations, there would have been more people rushing forward in a fit of anger.

After all, although Explorers are always active on the edge of death, they mostly face simple-minded Dungeon creatures with little intelligence.

Now they face living intelligent beings capable of committing all sorts of cruel acts unhesitatingly.

Especially for those like Gnate who are just finding their footing at the Silver level, they've encountered too little. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

With more experience, such cruel scenes can also be seen in some Dungeons, naturally raising the defenses in their hearts.

Although anticipated, punishment where due cannot be vague.

Nevertheless, Gnate and others' actions served as a warning to all Explorers.

As night falls, the squad started rotating attacks.

And Kane and Raphael's team's vigilance increased.

The information about their daytime actions must have reached the enemy commanders.

From then on, enemy golden-level forces could appear on the battlefield at any time.

They must stay vigilant to reach the battlefield as quickly as possible to provide combat support for allied forces.

Otherwise, once golden-level enemies break into ally ranks, it would be a bloody storm with casualties they could not bear.

The strength gap between the Gold and Silver levels is indeed immense.
