Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 809 701: Public Opinion (2)

"Why?"

The Beastman's words successfully piqued the humans' interest. Not only the people around him, but many were drawn to their conversation.

Seeing the crowd gathering, the Beastman cleared his throat and said, "My big brother works with the communications caravan, and he visited Lantern Territory recently."

"He said the cities in Lantern Territory are big and beautiful, though sparsely populated. However, the people there live well, without worrying about food or clothes."

"According to the residents, their lord is the Explorer mentioned by the Mist, a Warrior under the Mist's command."

"So it's a territory established by the God's Warrior, no wonder," commented an Elf listening nearby.

To people like them, the Mist was equivalent to the Creator God.

Explorers were akin to Warriors or soldiers under the Mist's command.

Calling them the God's Warrior wasn't incorrect at all.

"By the way, did you know? I heard from the newspaper office today that the war in the Feiten Kingdom is going to be broadcast and live-streamed in its entirety."

"Live-streamed? What does that mean?"

"Didn't you see today? The big iron mirror they put outside supposedly will display the scenes of their warfare so we can see it."

"Isn't that amazing? It couldn't be fake, could it?"

"It should be real. I heard my brother say, there are many strange things in Tideng Territory, like big iron balls that can fly and talk, and even farm by themselves."

"Is it true? That amazing?"

"Maybe your brother is just bragging."

"What do you mean, do you want to taste my Iron Fist?"

"..."

The topics they were chatting about were all deliberately released by Kane and his group, aimed at starting to shape the image of their Lantern Territory.

In fact, Kane did want to live-stream the entire war against the Feiten Kingdom.

For Kane and his team, live-streaming the entire event was not a difficult task at all.

After all, the information disseminators in the sky had already covered a large area, making the signal not an issue.

Full live coverage benefits more than it harms.

It allows outsiders to directly see Kane and his team's strength, and the showcased forces are only a portion of it, primarily conveying deterrence.

It also enables everyone to witness that improving the territory indeed means they do as they say, implementing the Mist's will.

This way, others will perceive that Kane and his team are making an example of those who do not change their oppressive ways.

Failing to lift the oppression on ordinary people means being their enemy.

Moreover, it significantly enhances Kane and his team's favorability among the commoners of other forces.

After all, Kane and his team already have the upper hand in public opinion.

...

In the Feiten Kingdom, Tistek held the pager in his hand.

Displayed on it was the transmission from Kane to them.

Fuman leaned over and asked, "Is it a message from the President? Are we finally going to take action against this damned place?"

Tistek nodded and said, "Yes, the President instructed us to find that Earl Halphes we stayed with before and ask if he wants to join us, setting an example of turning to the light."

"Earl Halphes? Oh, isn't he that fanatic who abolished serfdom and improved the lives of the commoners?"

Nistena said beside them.

This earl left them with a deep impression. For some reason, he was fanatically devoted to the Mist.

He was extremely welcoming of Tistek and their squad, constantly bothering them.

He wanted to know more about the Mist, displaying intense fervor.

At one point, he wanted to launch a holy war against the surrounding noble territories, urging them to abolish the serf system and lower taxes.

It wasn't because he truly had advanced ideas, but because he felt that these nobles not doing so was disrespectful to the Mist.

It was blasphemy against the Mist.

That's why Tistek and his team didn't stay long in his territory, mainly because if they didn't leave, this noble would annoy them to no end.

That's why they have a lasting impression of this noble.

"We have to find this earl again, I hope he doesn't start asking all those annoying questions again."

"Be satisfied, at least he's sincere, unlike these nobles who are like beasts in clothing. Disgusting."

"You're right, let's take action now."

As the war was about to start in Lantern Territory, Tistek and the others stopped pretending.

They directly took out their vehicle from the Space Equipment, opened the throttle, and raced towards the earl's territory.

The commotion along the way scared away many commoners.

"Beasts, iron beasts running really fast, run!"

It didn't take long for Tistek and his team to reach their destination.

They headed straight for the lord's castle.

As they approached, the soldiers in front of the castle were already fully prepared.

Earl Halphes, clad in armor, stood on the castle.

He was about to give orders to let his soldiers draw their bows but saw the vehicle stop, and Tistek and his team came out.

"Stop! Wait, be on alert."

After saying this, Halphes shouted down to Tistek and his party, "Tistek, is that you? What did I say to you the first time we met?"

He primarily thought that the metal beast might be some Magic Beast trying to deceive them into opening the fortress gates.

"Didn't expect this earl to be so cautious."

Upon hearing Fuman's words, Tistek shrugged and then shouted loudly, "It's us, the first time we met you asked us how the Mist looks."

"Stand down, open the gates."

After hearing Tistek's words, Halphes immediately said.

He then came down to personally greet Tistek and his team.

"Didn't you leave? I heard you were dealing with a Magic Beast in Baron Yas's territory."

"It's a long story, let's talk inside. We have an important matter to discuss with you, regarding the teachings of the Mist."

Upon hearing Tistek's words, Hartfis nodded with a serious expression and led them inside.

They arrived at the guest receiving room.

The earl waved his hand, directing all the servants to leave and close the door.

"Alright, now you can tell me what this is all about."

Tistek nodded and conveyed Kane's message to the earl without leaving out a single word.

Hartfis listened and agreed without hesitation.

His expression was one of fervor and delight.

He felt the Mist had seen his devotion.
