Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 397 - 51: Strange Elf, Dragon Descendant Player

Azure skies and jade waters!

The wind was calm, the waves were still. A picturesque scene adorned the green coastline.

The sound of the waves and the rustle of leaves in the gentle breeze filled the ears of the arrivals.

"This world... it looks quite nice."

"It’s just a shame it will soon be engulfed by the flames of war."

Just then, on the edge of the coastline, two hundred-man squads slowly emerged from a narrow portal.

One squad was composed of the Human Race.

The other was composed of Giant Demons.

Without a doubt, these two squads were a joint unit from the Giant Demon Empire and the Star Empire.

"This is what a war between civilizations is like. Survival of the fittest, nothing more."

"If we weren’t strong enough, we’d eventually become the ones being invaded."

The Giant Demon squad leader said nonchalantly:

"Alright, Major Sean, enough with the pointless chatter. Let’s get to work!"

"The allied forces sent a hundred vanguard squads like ours directly into this world to gather intelligence."

"If we fall behind, we’ll be throwing away a perfectly good chance to earn military merit."

Sean nodded slightly, glancing at the sea before them and then at the primeval forest along the coast.

"Alright, Major Noom."

"However, judging by the terrain, it would be best for us to split up temporarily to gather information."

"The sea or the land? Which will you explore, Major Noom?"

Hearing this, the Giant Demon Noom waved his hand dismissively.

"Doesn’t matter. I’m fine with either."

"However, my men are all from the northern clans of the Empire. They aren’t great swimmers. How about your people?"

The Giant Demon Noom asked earnestly, while the human officer, Sean, just smiled faintly.

"Then we’ll take care of the sea!"

"Let’s regroup here in three days!"

The Giant Demon nodded.

"Fine. But let’s agree not to stray too far."

"The Communication Crystals the Empire gave us only have a maximum range of a thousand kilometers. If we go beyond that, we’ll lose contact."

"All that mechanical stuff from our two Empires won’t work in this world."

"The Empire may not have gathered much information on this world beforehand, but our probes did detect a terrifying Magic Power storm that sweeps across the planet every twenty hours or so."

"During these Magic Power storms, the planet’s magnetic field becomes chaotic. Forget about mechanical devices; even Magic Items might fail."

"When it comes down to it, if we run into trouble in this world, we’ll have to rely on our own Power to survive."

"In any case, let’s wish ourselves good luck!"

The Giant Demon Noom’s expression was extremely serious.

As was that of the human officer, Sean.

After all, long before they were transported here, they had already been briefed on the general situation of this world.

First, there was no question that this was a Middle Demon High-Energy World.

Furthermore, as a Life Planet, it was extremely young.

A young planet meant it was likely still in an ancient era, similar to the primordial times of the Oakland Continent or even the Giant Demon Empire’s own homeworld.

And during such a period, the first lifeforms to emerge were highly likely to be Ancient Life—that is, Ancient Species.

Of course, conversely, on a planet with this level of magic, even the ordinary creatures born in this era were likely anything but ordinary.

Therefore, this world was very likely fraught with danger at every turn!

But the greater the danger, the greater the reward.

After all, a world like this would also be the richest in terms of Magic Ore, as well as Magic Potions and Magic Plants.

Thus, the first wave of the Vanguard Army sent by the allied forces was, strictly speaking, a suicide squad.

And members of a suicide squad naturally received preferential treatment when it came to earning military merit.

So, the risks and rewards were proportional.

"Don’t worry, I don’t plan on dying so easily on this savage planet."

Sean replied. After a few more words with his Giant Demon counterpart, the two teams officially parted ways!

After the hundred-man Giant Demon squad vanished, each one having entered a state of invisibility, Sean finally turned his gaze toward the sea beyond the coastline.

’A savage world.’

’Ancient Species, high-tier races?’

’I wonder what kind of fantastic Races and lifeforms will turn up in this world.’

’Good thing the True Game provided a guaranteed reward for this war instance. Otherwise, no matter how great the benefits, I might not have joined the Vanguard Army’s draft.’

Once the Giant Demons had left, Sean’s expression actually relaxed.

He stretched and looked at his two deputies.

"We don’t want the guaranteed reward. We worked our asses off to reach the High Tiers. Who could stand going through another Inference Day!"

"At the very least, we need to get enough War Points before we die. That way, even if we have to start the game over, we can use the War Points to quickly raise our strength again."

"Besides, these kids under our command are with us, after all. We should protect them if we can."

"Boss Sean, what do you say?"

At this, one of Sean’s adjutants spoke up with a grin.

"Wipe that grin off your face and use my rank!"

"We’re Players from the Empire Army Department. Act like it."

Sean frowned at his adjutant, then glanced at the anxious native Empire soldiers behind them before speaking with a detached expression:

"How can there be a war without death? Forget about these kids. The real question is whether we can even protect ourselves in the coming mission!"
