Night Ranger

Chapter 570: Setting Off! To the Underdark!

Panda Novel

Marvin finally had enough food for his territory after his trip to Arborea.

That solved the biggest hidden danger to White River Valley.

During the three days, White River Valley had continued to develop rapidly.

As soon as his three vassals entered Feinan, they felt the shackles suppressing them disappear.

They could feel their strength increasing quickly!

After a few moments, one of the Lyon brothers instantly rose to level 19.

At that time, they all looked at Marvin with gazes full of gratitude.

If not for Marvin, they wouldn't have gained this chance to advance!

Marvin was also very satisfied with their improvement.

White River Valley was currently lacking in high-end military power. If these three could grow stronger, they might be able to shore up that shortcoming.

The Lyon brothers were sent to Sword Harbor by Marvin.

He assigned them the duty of patrolling the area south of Sword Harbor, which bordered the wilderness and put a lot of pressure on the hunting teams. They frequently met large groups of monstrous beasts, which caused them significant problems.

With these two experts joining, the burden on the hunting teams should be reduced by quite a lot.

As for the Lyon brothers, this was exactly what they had been looking for.

Marvin didn't restrict their actions as long as they did their jobs. Furthermore, he gave them a chance to temper themselves. They only felt gratitude toward him.

As for the Astrologer, Rachel, Marvin made plans for her to be at Anna's side.

Astrologers had a very special way of advancing, and they didn't need to kill anything. As their knowledge and comprehension increased, they would naturally level up.

Rachel was born into the nobility of Arborea and possessed very good administrative abilities. Marvin had Anna test this woman carefully.

If she was useful, then she would be nurtured for an appropriate role. After all, Sword Harbor was still lacking management staff!

There were no doubts regarding the loyalty of the three vassals because they had each signed a Vassal Contract with Marvin. There were relatively few restrictions, but if they went against them, Marvin could make their souls collapse with just a thought.

...

After spending some days travelling around his territory and handling the most important internal issues, Marvin considered the reorganization of his territory complete for the time being.

At that time, he thought to himself that being a good Overlord was truly quite troublesome.

Even with so many helpers, he still had so many things that he needed to deal with.

He couldn't imagine what White River Valley would be like if he didn't have Anna, Lola, and the others to support him.

It was definitely thanks to their great efforts that the Sanctuary was currently thriving.

But regardless, it was impossible for Marvin to take it easy for long.

Over the course of the five days, the eldest sister of Rocky Mountain had already gradually ramped up her entreaties as she urged him over and over again. She had made an explicit ultimatum the previous evening. If Marvin didn't leave with her, she would set off by herself.

Marvin forced a smile. He was sure that Jessica's hurry was partially due to her quick-tempered nature, but he also knew that the situation was probably really critical.

Otherwise, a powerhouse like Jessica wouldn't be so anxious about it.

Marvin prepared for the trip by taking some useful things from the Sanctuary's warehouse and then he set foot on the Teleportation Array to Rocky Mountain.

In the current period of the Great Calamity, because of the great amount of Chaos Magic pouring in, many long distance Teleportation Arrays became nonfunctional.

White River Valley currently had three working long distance Teleportation Arrays, two of which had been set up in Madeline's Wizard Tower while the last one was set up inside the castle. The first two led to the North's Lavis and Rocky Mountain in the southwest, while the last one naturally led to the Ashes Plains.

In fact, the most notable place that they still lacked a Teleportation Array for was another alliance the Thousand Leaves Forest, which was also the one closest in distance.

Madeline was apparently researching that issue. It could be a problem with Thousand Leaves Forest, but Ivan hadn't sent any bad news, so Marvin could only suppose that it was caused by interference from the Chaos Magic Power.

After Madeline helped him through the Array, Marvin opened his eyes to see Jessica's enraged face just in front of him.

Rocky Mountain.

"If you came a few hours later, I would have already set off," Jessica grumbled, seeming to be in quite a bad temper.

Marvin froze for a bit at the sudden proximity, before looking into the distance. He couldn't help holding his breath when he realized what he was seeing!

Countless creatures from the Underdark were packed outside limits of the light of Order.

This time, it was even more exaggerated than during the attack from the Black Dragon's army!

There were almost three times as many creatures from the Underdark as there had been during that siege on Rocky Mountain.

"What happened?" Marvin blurted out.

He had guessed that the situation was likely very serious, but he hadn't expected it to be so ridiculous!

"They have been attracted by the light of Order."

A familiar voice echoed behind Marvin.

Kate.

Marvin turned and noticed that Kate seemed a bit weak. The girl had lost a noticeable amount of weight since the last time he saw her.

It was clear that they had been under a huge amount of pressure during this disaster.

Especially for a place like Rocky Mountain, which seemed remote but had danger lurking on many sides. Not only were they facing the attacks from the Underdark, but as far as Marvin knew, there were two other forces eyeing this place, the Dark clan and the Wild.

The invasion of the Dark clan and the Wild happened three years later in the game and was the result of several Gods' schemes.

But perhaps it would happen early this time after all the changes that had manifested since Marvin's appearance.

He would have to put off looking into it until later.

From what Marvin could see, the situation in the Underdark was far worse than he had imagined!

"Can't your powers drive them away?"

Marvin found the situation rather queer, as he knew that the Underdark's lifeforms weren't brainless.

The power of Order gave no benefits to them, and ordinary hostile lifeforms that tried to forcefully enter the light of Order would be directly obliterated!

But they were still advancing to attack Rocky Mountain anyways!

This was quite strange.

"You haven't noticed it yet?" Jessica coldly pointed at that dense army of creatures from the Underdark and pointed out, "They had already turned into monsters."

"From the information I've managed to get, a major change took place at the Eternal Frozen Spring. Only by solving that root issue would we have a chance of forcing these monsters to withdraw."

"Thus, I have to take a trip to the Underdark, and I need your help."

Marvin took a deep breath, nodding silently.

With so many monsters from the Underdark being controlled to do the same thing, this might really be related to the Dark Specters from the Eternal Frozen Spring.

It was time to take a real trip to the Underdark.

Last time, he only crossed through the Underdark as a shortcut. This time, he would go deep into the Underdark with Jessica!

He thought of the powerful and dangerous monsters he had met there in the game, the extremely precious treasures, and the Artifact!

Marvin's blood was boiling!
