Chapter 1010 277: Is Brother Kael Really an NPC? Kael's Terrifying Exploitation of Quests (10K)
"Ophie has disappeared?"
Kael frowned. Is it a coincidence?
Kael said in a deep voice, "Where was the last location where Ophie appeared? Given Anderson's personality, he would definitely choose to look for her. Is there really no news from his side either?"
"No, Miss Ophie went to the [World Garden], where there are some materials needed by Transformation Mages. Previously, Miss Ophie hadn't gone deep inside, just wandered around the periphery of the Underworld Gate.
Logically speaking, that area has already been swept multiple times by Rangers and Undead, so it's unlikely that there are any significant threats left."
Old White's expression also showed some confusion.
Under normal circumstances, such an accident shouldn't have happened. With the current strength possessed by the Lancaster Territory, it has far surpassed the strength levels typically present in the fourth Dungeon.
After all, the average challenge level for the fourth Dungeon is only about LV9-LV15, even if some formidable Lords appear, they still aren't that threatening to the territory.
After all, in terms of challenge levels, there are already quite a few in Lancaster who can solo the Dungeon, and the Commanders of the Rangers themselves have strength levels above LV14.
Especially Jonathan and Old Barry; the former has almost gone mad with the combat in the forest full of monsters in the Dungeon, having fought his way up to LV16.
Old Barry was not to be outdone. As the oldest of the four Knights, this battle-hardened Old Knight seemed revitalized by the support of the Gluttonous Slime, and now there are faint signs of him stepping up even further.
Of course, Kael prefers to call this "fulfilling potential that should have been realized."
Given the strength this group possesses, they can sweep through most of the monsters in the Dungeon, and there's no reason for anything to be missed.
Which means…
Though my student Ophie disappeared on the road to the Dungeon, considering the area around the Dungeon, especially around the typically accessible Dungeon [World Garden], where monsters occasionally assault the Underworld Gate, there have always been guards stationed there.
Most likely, Ophie didn't die inside the Dungeon but rather on the way to it.
As for saying she might not be dead... that's a delusion. Kael has trained his students entirely in survival and counterattack strategies.
This is the Lancaster Territory; it's Kael's land, with numerous professionals who serve the Lord Mansion patrolling the territory, eliminating any anomalous threats to its safety.
In this circumstance, although the wilds can be dangerous for ordinary folks, it's not filled with danger at every turn.
Under normal conditions, even if some problems arise, Kael is confident that his student could quickly extricate herself from danger and then return to Titan Town to seek reinforcement.
However, the current situation is that Ophie has completely vanished without a trace.
For a War Mage in this situation, the chance of survival is essentially non-existent, and Kael has lost hope in this regard.
"What a troublesome time!"
Kael sighed. He never believed in coincidences; what people call coincidences are inevitably happenings of necessity under certain circumstances, and Ophie's death appeared at a node too coincidental, to the point that a dreadful thought had occurred in his mind.
"Have the Rangers, Shadow Garden, Elf Rangers, and Infiltrator Legion all prepared?"
Kael turned to Old White: "Are they ready for war?"
Old White smiled and said, "We've never stopped preparing. Haven't you, who personally nurtured this land, already known about this?"
Kael nodded and then issued the second order: "Start issuing notices to recruit thirty thousand of the people and Undead, making sure they're ready to assemble ahead of time.
Also, remember to call the notice to the Undead in the name of the Engilans Duchy and Eastern Border Lord United Aid Association, not in my name as the Helois Monarch, to initiate this recruitment."
Old White frowned and asked, "Is there a difference?"
Kael replied indifferently, "Of course there is a difference."
Old White said no more, although unsure what scheme his young master was brewing this time, but he was always a cautious person and must have a good reason to act this way.
Therefore, he had a duty to remind.
"What about the specific content of the recruitment notice for the Undead?"
"Write it like this:
Due to recent appearances of invaders in different territories on the Eastern border of Lancaster, to ensure the stability of the border, we are recruiting a group of brave, capable, and skilled children of Shangtiya in the name of the Engilans Duchy and Eastern Border Lord United Aid Association, to join the auxiliary troops assisting the Lancaster combat corps, and act under the command of the Lancaster army."
Kael thought for a moment before providing the specific content.
Old White hesitated for a moment and finally said, "For such content, should we notify the Lion Heart Duke and various members of the Eastern Border Lord United Aid Association?"
