Chapter 273: NotWearingPants Report on the Enemy
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Apple felt that he was dreaming.
The sneak attack of the Ogres and the deep slumbering warriors were like the descent of darkness that made all things seem hopeless.
Until the warriors woke up from the darkness. Then, it was like the coming of dawn… though the Underworld didn’t have dawn.
But there was Sacred Light.
When Apple saw the blinding Sacred Light engulfing the Ogre leader, he witnessed the G.o.dlike Goblin who stood on the belly of the leader.
The Goblin had an imposing figure in the Sacred Light. He wielded a Huge Hammer that was half his size. How did such a frail figure wield a Huge Hammer?
The Goblin placed the Hammer on his shoulders, and there were several Bladder Blombs hanging from his neck.
Apple squinted his eyes.
“Ah, is that the Power of Sacred Light…”
…
At the Dungeon Lord Main Hall in Eternal Kingdom.
In the clear and transparent crystal ball, a group of gamers was salvaging the equipment of the Ogres and their fallen comrades.
A group of gamers used ropes, Spider Silk, and various tools to tie up the Ogres who surrendered.
“That is quite an action. It’s midnight, and the discussion forum is full of posts crying for blood. There are even lots of irritating imitation posts,” Bru said as Sherlock carefully looked into the crystal ball. Sherlock didn’t respond. He enlarged the images in the crystal ball and observed the wailing Ogres.
“Something’s wrong.”
Sherlock frowned and pointed at the crystal ball as he said, “The equipment of the Ogres doesn’t look like the equipment of an Ogre tribe. The quality is too good.”
“Quality is too good? Isn’t that great? Since Lord Sherlock thinks the quality is good, it must be Superior Equipment,” Bru said excitedly.
“It seems like the Ogres have quite a powerful backing. Why did they occupy the Orc village?” Sherlock pondered and shut down his computer. He picked up his clothing and walked outside.
“Lord Sherlock? Do you intend to take a look at the scene?” Bru asked curiously.
“Hmm, my intuition tells me it’s not a simple affair.” Sherlock walked to the entrance and said, “Take good care of the Dungeon.”
…
The gamers encountered 50 Ogres in the Main Underworld Tunnel. Hemp Rope Technology used his Power of Sacred Light in battle and killed the Ogre leader. According to the Ogre prisoners, there was a large Ogre army. Their leader was only the leader of a small section.
A powerful Ogre King had gathered lots of Ogres under his flag. They didn’t know the exact figure, but the tents of the Ogres extended way beyond the horizon.
The Ogre prisoners pleaded for the gamers to release them so that they could beg their king for mercy and ensure that the gamers had a complete corpse.
The gamers treated the NPCs’ words as trash.
The gamers didn’t treat the prisoners poorly, except for a gamer who tortured them for fun.
As the gamers were far from the Revival Point in Eternal Kingdom, they had no chance to replace their casualties. The gamers weren’t bothered by it though, as they were simply having fun.
After the first battle, out of the remaining 600 gamers, there were over 100 dead and 100 wounded. Less than 300 gamers were combat-ready. Hence, the gamers started to become nervous.
After some discussion, they unanimously decided to reduce unnecessary casualties. The game “Dungeon” wasn’t a normal game and couldn’t be understood using logic.
Besides reducing casualties, NotWearingPants created a post on the discussion forum to explain the situation. He hoped that more gamers could come to support their war effort. The contents were:

Danger! This is a crisis!
The game officials didn’t post any announcements and released a huge Plot Mission. It isn’t a Battle Campaign Scenario as the mission area isn’t a sealed location. We can actually travel to this location.
But there isn’t much of a difference as the distance is very far.
It required a three-day journey without any delay to get here. We marched quickly for three days to come here.
We shall not mention the fact that the lousy game producer secretly released this mission. I will explain the details of the mission.
This mission is very sketchy and without any system announcements. It is more like a Strange Encounter Mission for a large Plot without any concrete rewards. We only have the NPC’s word of salted fish, clay flavored soil, and labor.
We collected the loot from the Ogres. From the fierce battle last night and the scale of the enemy, this is clearly a mission with generous hidden rewards!
Let us take a look at our undistributed loot, the Ogres’ weapons and armor:

The equipment was far superior to most of our equipment.

Last night, Hemp Rope Technology appeared in the battle with the first use of the Power of Sacred Light. While reciting mathematics and physics formulas and being filled with the Power of Sacred Light, Hemp Rope Technology crushed the strongest Ogre leader.

We don’t know his name.
Though we won the first battle, according to our prisoners, there are countless enemies waiting for us. However, we are only left with around 300 combat-ready gamers. Considering how hardcore the game is, if we all perish here, we will cause the death of the Orcs, and our mission will fail. As such, please come quickly to reinforce us. We won’t advance. Instead, we will fortify our lines and do reconnaissance. The following summarizes our moves:
The enemy advances, and we retreat. The enemy fortifies, and we retreat. The enemy is exhausted, and we retreat. The enemy retreats, and we retreat.
Before we know about the enemy’s situation, we will retreat.
I know that it’s hardcore to march for three days. We are here to play games, so you don’t have to listen to my plea, but for those who want to experience this mission, please make haste. We will wait five days for the rest of you to catch up. We have left secret signs to guide you to us. The veteran gamers have also posted a map for the journey. You can download the map as a guide.
Do not wander around, as a lot of us went missing. We had 1,000 gamers but were reduced to a pathetic 600 gamers.
I hope to see everyone here!
Here are some high definition, uncensored pictures for your enjoyment.
