Chapter 124: Going All Out

  Patting his forehead, Matthew looked at Yaya’s incredibly dazzling stats and said sourly, as if he had just eaten several lemons:

  "Is this the power to ge fate?"

  "Not only she ge her css, but she also gain my abilities through the life tract..."

  "Tch, I want that too!"

  No exaggeration—Yaya, now a Level 1 Arist, could be sidered the stro beginner-level professional!

  Her challeing had already reached 13+!

  This meant that only a well-equipped, well-trained, and highly coordinated high-level party could stand a ce against Yaya!

  Although it had cost him dearly, the results left Matthew extremely satisfied!

  Not to mention that Yaya, having pleted her css transformation, had undergone a crucial metamorphosis.

  From now on, like Matthew, she could tinuously strengthen herself through studying and researg magic.

  She was no longer bound by the limitations of time and bloodline!

  What delighted Matthew even more was that Yaya could acquire his spellcasting abilities through their life tract!

  This included the all-important Illusion e!

  Matthew couldn’t help but smile.

  Just like he could send his illusion e out for adventures and battles, Yaya could now do the same!

  With this in mind, Matthew waved at the ner Yaya and whispered in her ear:

  "Try casting Illusion e!"

  Even though Yaya hadn’t fully grasped the basics of are magic, she could instinctively cast the spell.

  Three seds ter.

  Two Yayas were staring wide-eyed at each other!

  "Huh?" x2.

  The little one curiously examined her identical e, gng left and right.

  Lig his lips with envy, Matthew looked at the night sky outside and led Yaya out.

  Matthew went straight to find Butler Ralph, who was sweating profusely as he practiced his martial skills.

  Notig Matthew’s arrival, the sharp-minded Ralph immediately stopped what he was doing.

  If it wasn’t for something of great importahe lord wouldn’t disrupt his usual schedule.

  If it wasn’t a problem in Troll Valley, then it must be an issue with Adam Smith.

  Pleased with Ralph’s keen instincts, Matthew g the "Battle-Hardened Vetera on Ralph’s stat pahen spoke directly:

  "Adam Smith’s group is about to enter danger. We o gather our forces and head out to support them."

  Nodding silently, Butler Ralph hesitated for a moment before decisively saying:

  "Then we should issue an emergency task and mobilize the adventurers!"

  Giving Ralph an approving look, Matthew nodded without hesitation and said expetly:

  "After all, soldiers are raised for a thousand days to be used in a single moment. Offer the adventurers a highly paid esission!"

  If they’re going to risk their lives, they might as well do it for me!

  Gng subtly at the lord, Ralph then turned a, heading toward the Adventurer's Hall.

  "The lord has clearly been pnning all along—nurturing our own strength while using adveo advance his cause!"

  Half an hour ter.

  In the Adventurer’s Halls of Bay Vilge, the Logging Camp, and Troll Valley Camp, a task appeared that shocked all adventurers:

  "Emergency! 100,000 gold bounty!"

  "All adventurers are eligible to join!"

  "Missioails: Territory defense mission!"

  "Mission objective: Join the special operations unit, follow bat orders, a the enemy!"

  "Mission duration: 10 days!"

  "Mission reward: All adventurers who join the special operations unit, follow bat orders, and ehe enemy will receive 100 gold s and 10 tribution points!"

  "Additional reward: Kill eo earn corresponding gold and tribution points!"

  "Note: Any adventurer who does not accept the mission is prohibited from leaving the camp for 10 days. Viotors will forfeit all tribution points!"

  This annou immediately caught the i and attention of all the adventurers.

  The adventurers quickly pieced it together.

  "Bay Territory is utack?"

  "The lord is really rich!"

  "Generous is more like it! Throwing out 100,000 gold s, my goodness!"

  "What kind of enemy could it be? Trolls from deep within the Dark Forest?"

  "No way, the trolls oskirts have mostly been cleared out. You’d have to go 10 kilometers to either side to find more trolls."

  "Troll Valley only has two entrances, and the deeper one is already being monitored..."

  "Since adventurers are banned from going out, it’s likely that the enemy is human..."

  "Does that mean it’s a bandit group?"

  "Are you kidding? What bandit group has that kind of strength?"

  "So, who is it then?"

  "Doesn’t matter who it is; I’m defiaking this mission. One job could cover half a year’s ine!"

  "Exactly, we ’t let Alice’s team snatch up all the good stuff..."

  "I’m signing up too. It’s rare to find such a generous territory, and I’m going to help defend it at all costs!"

  "That’s right, cutting off our ine is like killing our parents—let’s fight them!"

  "..."

  For various reasons, the adventurers became highly enthusiastid rushed to sign up.

  The vast majority of adventurers were more than willing to fight for Bay Territory!

  The generous rewards were sedary; mostly, they couldn’t stand the idea of someoag their territory.

  That’s not okay!

  Aed Butler Ralph quickly reported this heartenio Matthew.

  Matthew wasn’t surprised and smiled brightly before turning to say:

  "We have three days!"

  "Notify all non-bat personnel in the arms factories to start w in shifts, produg military supplies at full capacity!"

  "Make sure they get plenty of overtime pay!"

  "Also, inform everyone and make this situation widely known!"

  "Everyone doing their part is the best support for the territory!"

  "..."

  Seeing the fident smile on Matthew’s face, Butler Ralph and Ange exged gnces, both seeing unparalleled fidend determination in each other’s eyes.

  They would fully support the lord iing any invaders, sparing no effort to defend the territory!

  Sihe battle was iable, they would go all out!

  Soon, the scouts received their orders and began posting annous in every public bulletin board around town.

  They also called out loudly: "The emergency order has been announced! Everyone follow the battle updates on the daily bulletin!"

  "Do not panic! Do your job well, and we will surely win!"

  The clear voice spread throughout Bay Territory.

  After the initial otion, everyone in Bay Territory quickly settled down.

  So what if it’s a fight?

  We’re going to win anyway!
