Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 753 - 662 Military Equipment

New Era, April 15.

Morning.

Today, a rare drizzle fell within the territory’s bounds.

In a city built with some kind of blue stone.

This newborn city, welcomed its first encounter with rain.

The cascading raindrops washed over this newly constructed city, splattering on the blue stone paved paths.

Various humanoid races walked to and fro on the paths, it was evident that they were somewhat busy now.

Holding umbrellas of different colors in hand, they briskly trampled on puddles formed by the rain.

The most striking feature of this city is its quirky and unusual residential homes.

Every house offers a refreshing sight, though orderly, the architectural styles on either side of a street vary greatly.

Each house style is unique, yet they are arranged in overlapping patterns.

The entire city resembles a melting pot of different cultures merged together, with every building, every room, and every roadside decoration carrying the memories of some race.

These memories of various races meld together to form this newborn city.

The exterior of these houses was decided by the city’s residents themselves, with Kane not interfering much.

This is the central small city of the Lantern Territory, serving as the territory’s capital city.

This city was formally named the City of Light.

More than 20,000 residents live in the city, while more territory residents are engaged in farming and breeding across the territory’s lands.

The city houses diverse races; although most are humanoid, the number of races has astonishingly reached over thirty.

At the central government hall of the City of Light, the government staff are bustling back and forth in the first-floor hall, reflecting their busy nature.

The hall’s third floor houses a large conference room.

Inside, important figures of the territory are seated.

Sitting at the head naturally is the territory’s lord, President of the Lantern Guild, King of the Platinum Country.

Kane Lafroren.

Besides him, the captain of the Explorer Squad within the territory, members of the territory with Gold-level strength, and key officials from various departments are present.

Whenever these important personnel gather, it indicates that a crucial meeting requiring explanation is about to take place.

With all the participants gathered, the conference room fell silent. Kane looked around, ensuring everyone had arrived, and tapped the table before speaking.

"This meeting will bring about significant changes to the territory and make plans for future actions."

Kane then waved his hand, and the head maid Rosalie, who had always been beside him, floated forward.

Subsequently, he reached into his space equipment and took out a thin, palm-sized round device, distributing it to each person’s desk.

"This is the focus of this meeting, the latest information exchange device, which I call the Magic Mirror."

As he spoke, a bit of magic power surged from Kane’s hand, tapping the center of the round device.

The round device then projected a hologram.

The first item is a chat icon, and upon clicking it, a chat interface appeared.

It resembles the chat window of an online game’s chat board.

"You should open it like I did, remember to use a bit of magic power to activate it, which will enable the device to recognize the magic power in your hand. If the magic power doesn’t match, the device won’t open, similar to an authentication process."

Upon hearing Kane’s explanation, everyone nodded and operated accordingly.

Soon, the Magic Mirror in each person’s hand also projected a hologram, and everyone opened the first item Kane had earlier clicked—the chat icon, entering the public screen.

Kane then typed: "Hello, hello, test, test."

This sentence popped up in the holographic public screen held by everyone, preceded by Kane’s name.

"This is the first function of the Magic Mirror; it allows you to chat and exchange information via the Magic Mirror, and what you now see on the public screen is an area where all Magic Mirror holders can chat.

You can also create small group chats, as long as you mutually add each other’s Magic Mirror device, chatting is possible as well, but I’ll leave these for you to experiment with yourselves."

Then Kane exited to switch to another icon, resembling a map.

"This is the previously integrated real-time map, you can see a blue circle on the map; to use certain features of the Magic Mirror, including the previous chat function, you must be within the circle."

"You can also search for some real-time information and materials you need here, which are available for querying."

After speaking, Kane directly took out over a dozen iron boxes from his space equipment and distributed them to everyone.

"These contain the Magic Mirrors; distribute them to your subordinates, and whom you choose to give them is up to you. These are the first batch. What you are holding are trial machines, if you have any feedback, let me know promptly."

After Kane finished speaking, he fell silent, and the others began exchanging feedback, testing the Magic Mirror, and mutually adding each other’s ID.

Once everyone was familiar with the device, Kane tapped the table again.

"Alright, now onto the next item."

Saying this, Kane directly took out a magic power launcher from his space equipment.

A launcher about one meter long, with a shoulder stock, grip, and sights, somewhat resembling the Mauser 98 frequently used by soldiers during World War II.

It has several blue magic runes, without the Egg Hero’s design, but a long blue crystal embedded within the stock.

The explorers instantly recognized it; this should be a launcher from the outside world.

This item has already been fully popularized outside. Copper-level and newly initiated silver-level explorers would choose to purchase a similar launcher.

It’s very useful in copper-level explorations, bringing quite an advantage to them.

"I believe many have already recognized it, yes, this is the Magic Launcher. We are now able to mass-produce it, with current production totally capable of arming every copper-level soldier in the territory."

"Our copper-level soldiers number nearly 10,000, and the firearm units they form can pose a considerable threat to many silver-level enemies."

"Once fully armed, it will be time for us to annihilate the ogre forces."

Then Kane handed the weapon in his hand to Bonona. With the establishment of the government, Bonona had freed herself from busy political affairs.

Her current role is the general of the territory, with all soldiers except the Knight Order under her command.

"Besides this launcher, there are some large engineering equipment prepared for defense and attack, as well as various auxiliary combat equipment ready. After the meeting, you need to hand over with Funa."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, Bonona nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Kane then turned around and addressed everyone present: "Now let’s discuss the comprehensive attack on the ogre territory."

After saying this, Kane directly had Yoyo project a three-dimensional map on the table, clearly showing the situation of the ogre territory.

"Regarding the attack, do we have enough engineering equipment? Or is it powerful enough?" spoke Hartlama, the newly joined gold-level general.

If Kane and his team wanted to completely wipe out the ogres, attacking the city was indispensable.

In such circumstances, the ogres would not foolishly engage them head-on like before but fight them in defensive battles.

Many advantages of Kane and his team would be left unused.

Asking such a question indicates he is indeed unfamiliar with the territory and Kane. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

For such questions, others had no concerns at all.

In Kane’s view, there had never been a scenario of insufficient firepower.

Kane nodded and said: "Rest assured, the quantity is definitely plenty, and the firepower is absolutely strong."

"If said so, our advantages are actually quite considerable, with virtually no disadvantages," said Longbei.

"No, we have a major disadvantage," Kreya suddenly stated: "Our gold-level power is insufficient. According to earlier information, the top three seats of the Ogre Elder Council surely hold greater strength than us."

"We shouldn’t attack too aggressively but slowly encroach and try to gather our gold-level power together."

"With the real-time map, information will always be in our favor.

Plus, with Lilulu’s teleportation, we can always return to our territory defensively without fearing sudden raids on our own territory."

"Our soldiers are strong, weapons are good, firepower sufficient. In large-scale battles, the ogres are definitely no match for us, so we must fully utilize our own advantages."

Raphael expressed his thoughts.

With Raphael leading, everyone present began to share their understanding and then engaged in heated discussion.

The final result of the discussion was.

The comprehensive attack is set for ten days later, with the territory’s top combat power and the majority of soldiers joining this large offensive.

Moreover, several other large soldier forces will be invited to join.

Bonona assured they would not refuse, and participating in the battle could let them witness the power of Kane and others.

Sounding the final warning to these forces.

As for safety within the territory, don’t forget that there’s still a surprise troop in the Platinum Country.

That is Lilulu’s Fairy Tale World, and the combat power within the Fairy Tale World can be deployed for support.

It’s entirely enough to block Kane and others who teleport back defensively.

They also have to divide a portion of their forces to circle behind the enemy, preventing the ogres from desperately fleeing.

They need to annihilate every ogre completely, bringing about their true extinction.

Although this race survived the destruction of the world, endured becoming dungeons, and finally lived safely within the World Ring.

They will ultimately be annihilated by Kane and the others.

Mist is merciful but equally ruthless.

For individuals, forces, and races threatening its world and its basic landscape, it will unhesitatingly deliver maximum destruction.

But for these individuals, Mist had once offered opportunities; they just didn’t choose them.

Annihilating such a race is hardly going to induce any guilt in Kane and the others.

After all, eliminating a race that wants to eat you will only make people feel immensely relieved and pleased.

Not to mention, joining the battle this time are many soldiers from other forces.

For most citizens in Kane’s territory, the ogres hold a deep hatred of blood and must be annihilated.
