chapter 10 : meeting 2

" Since we have you here, let's go to the dungeon gate. Are you ready, or do you need to buy anything here?"

Long Su felt a warmth spread through him at Chen Gang's words.

He was grateful for the kindness and respect Chen Gang showed him.

"Thanks for your kind words, sir,' Long Su replied to Chen Gang, meeting his gaze with a grateful smile.

"I'm ready for all the challenges ahead," said Long Su politely to Chen Shuirong's father.

Climbing into a rugged off-road vehicle, Long Su and the Chen family set off towards the forest outside the city, where the dimensional space gate was located.

As they drove, the scenery changed from the bustling city streets to the tranquilly of the forest, with the trees towering overhead and the sound of birdsong filling the air.

You must know that the Dragon Kingdom has strict control over dungeon in various places.

Ordinary people and lords with insufficient power cannot enter without special conditions.

Every dungeon is unlimited resources for the dragon kingdom

Each dungeon will produce kind of bulding or spacial materials , because of that only the students or lords who works for the government can get the chance to receive dungeon tickets

As they drew closer to the dimensional space gate, Long Su listened intently as Chen Gang shared more of his knowledge about the military units they might encounter within.

You'll want to memorize this," Chen Gang grunted as the crawler lurched forward.

According to the Chen Gang introduction, the natives in that different-dimensional space are a type of military unit called the Forest Bowman.

It is a second-level arm in the archery sequence.

Although it is only a second-level units, the bowman in this units have legion skill

For this skill many people eying this dungeon

But opportunity to enter the dungeon and potentially recruit the powerful units within is highly sought after by many lords,

particularly those of lower levels who are looking for an edge in battle.

However, gaining access to the dungeon is not an easy task.

Firstly, there is a significant financial cost associated with obtaining a permit to enter the dungeon.

Many lords must save up or take out loans in order to afford the fee, which can be prohibitive for those with limited resources.

This fees not something like the gold coins but its the Dragon Kingdom credit that can you get them if you do military survive or donate resources to the Dragon Kingdom

Secondly, even if a lord is able to secure a permit, there is no guarantee of success in recruiting the units within the dungeon.

The requirements for doing so are extremely challenging, requiring the lord to clear the dungeon of all enemy units and then defeat a powerful boss creature.

This task is estimated to be successful only one in every hundred attempts, making it a risky and uncertain endeavor.

Thankfully the tickets of the dungeon time limits if a full 24 hours , so if your strong its easy for you to challenge the dungeon moren then a hundred times

Thirdly you have a once every twenty clean times to get the unit camp.

Despite these challenges, the lure of the powerful units within the dungeon continues to draw lords from all over, each hoping to be the one to emerge victorious and claim the ultimate prize.

Shuirong leaned between the seats, her braid brushing Long Su's shoulder. "Father's unit lost twelve men sealing the last breach at Azure Ridge. That's why the garrisons…"

"Enough war stories," Chen Gang cut in, though his knuckles whitened on the steering wheel. "Tell him about the Forest Bowmen."

Shuirong's fingers danced, conjuring a hologram of spectral archers. "Second-tier units, but their 'Endless Quiver' legion skill?" The projection showed arrows blotting out the sun. "Imagine—a thousand bows firing without reloading. But to activate it…"

"You become a sitting duck," Chen Gang finished. "Hence the one-in-a-hundred success rate. Most lords charge in like bulls. They end up pincushioned."

Long Su's thumb traced his sword's fuller. "And the recruitment ritual?"

"Twenty-four hours to clear the dungeon," Shuirong said.

Chen Gang killed the hologram as they breached the treeline." We arrived."

They arrived at the entrance to the dimensional space, where Chen Gang efficiently handled the necessary paperwork and procedures.

The forest air turned electric. Through the crawler's reinforced glass, Long Su watched normal pines mutate—trunks twisting into spirals, leaves glowing faintly blue.

A checkpoint materialized ahead, its concrete walls scarred by claw marks deeper than a man's arm.

Long Su took in the sight of the heavily fortified entrance, surrounded by imposing Stronghold and different military units.

"It's quite a sight, isn't it?" Chen Gang said it with a smile.

"But don't be too intimidated. Those armies and buildings were summoned by the garrison lord using their fairh power"

"With enough training and practice, you'll be able to do the same in the future."

Chen Gang is a adventurer as well as the deputy chief of the human guild protection in the city.

Because Chen Shuirong's father

successfully awakened the lord talent and now he is a fifth-level lord, the same level as teacher Li.

Long Su couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude towards Chen Gang.

He knew that the fact that they were able to enter the space at all was due in large part to Chen Gang's status and connections within the guild protection station.

"Your father's position as deputy chief has been quite helpful in getting us access to this dimensional space" he said to Chen Shuirong.

"I appreciate his willingness to help us on this journey."

Chen Shuirong smiled proudly. "My father is very dedicated to his work at the guild protection station."

"He takes his responsibility to maintain order and protect the people of the Dragon Kingdom very seriously.".

"But he also recognises the importance of exploration and discovery , which is why he's been so supportive of our efforts here."

Long Su nodded, thinking about the crucial role that the guild protection station plays in regulating access to dimensional space and maintaining order in the Dragon Kingdom.

In normal time the dungeon will be under the control of the Dragon Kingdom but if outside sources Effect with in the dungeon

it will lead to unstable and breakthrough of the dungeon monsters

The monsters will kill any one in front of them

Many cities where destroyed because of that , so now adays every dungeon need to be station with group of soldiers as a protection to act as the first line of defense and early warning system

This system worked very effectively time after time

Long Su and Chen Shuirong followed Chen Gang deeper into the dimensional space,

"Steel yourself," Chen Gang muttered.

The words died as they rounded the final bend.

The dimensional gate wasn't a gate at all—it was a 'wound in the air.' A fifty-meter tear in reality itself, edges crackling with unstable energy.

Around it crouched war machines that made Chen's crawler look like a child's toy: mobile artillery inscribed with containment runes, mech suits housing entire platoons in their bellies.
