Civilization Guardian Front

"Since I was born in this world, I have been trying to reverse people's disgusting impression..."

"It has nothing to do with appearance or ability, but when it comes to things related to me, I often hear people say: "My intuition tells me that something is wrong", "You are really good, but there always seems to be something wrong", "You It will only bring bad luck, get the hell out of here"..."

Speaking of this, Chios clenched his fists tightly, and then slowly loosened them.

"Otherwise, why haven't I found a home to return to after I left my hometown and wandered so far?"

"God Hestia, I'm so scared..." The young man stretched out his hand to reach the goddess, but in the next second he withdrew it as if in fear, and covered his face looking down at the ground.

"One day you found some lucky child and left me to wander alone in endless darkness."

"Will not! "

Shouting these words from the bottom of her heart, Hestia stepped forward and hugged Chios tightly.

"The voice in my heart, it can no longer affect me."

"You... what you said, is it true?" Chios asked tremblingly.

"That's right."

Hestia answered in the affirmative.

Seeing the young man raised his face, looking at her with eyes that still had a little bloodshot eyes and a hint of hope hidden in the deep purple light, she couldn't help but shed tears.

What a sensitive, fragile child this is...

Looking for his family, worrying day and night whether he will be recognized by others, but under the twists and turns of fate, he finally gained a foothold in Olalie, and the maliciousness of the dungeon came one after another.

Apart from the Lord God, there is no one else for him to act like a baby.

If you don't support and understand him, who else can do this?

"To me, there is no child more important than you..."

Cupping the young man's chin with both hands, the determined goddess said with a smile in tears:

"Even if the world only has malice towards you and wants to put you to death, I will not let go. No matter how many difficulties you face in the future, you will never die, because..."

"My thoughts will always guard you."

finished speaking...

For the first time, she took the initiative to kiss Chios' lips.

as proof of the oath.

...

Olalie Central, Tower of Babel...

Led by Nazha, nine young girls who had newly joined the Hestia family came out of the tower.

Not long ago, they were wearing plain clothes, but now they all changed into new equipment.

In addition to the purchase of handy weapons, they also added metal armor to the three vulnerable parts of the breast, chest, forearm, and calf.The clacking noises they made when they were walking came from the chain mail hidden under their clothing.

Monsters are not idiots who only gnaw on specific limbs. Once they realize that the offensive is not working, they will quickly change their targets.

The chain armor purchased for the convenience of movement is not as reliable as the metal plate in terms of protection, and it can somewhat resist the monster's minions for a short period of time, giving the companion a chance to come to the rescue.

In terms of equipment matching, although the new body of Lv.1 has been strengthened due to receiving favors, the improvement is still limited.In order to avoid difficulty in movement, Nazha controlled each person's load to around 20kg.

"Why do you have to come to the branch of the Tower of Babel..." Orianna, who was almost no different from a heavy armored knight after arming, asked a question.

"Isn't the store on Northwest Avenue, which is closer to the family base, more convenient?"

"The "branch" on the 4th to 8th floors of the Lease Tower of Babel is actually the place with the most complete products..." Nazha shook her head, patiently answering the newcomers' questions.

"Including low-level adventurers, if you want to find products that Hephaestus is dissatisfied with Lv.2 blacksmiths, it's better to come here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gina, a ten-year-old Amazon girl, pointed to a large number of material containers piled up in the central square.

"Look, there are a lot of supplies for the expedition!"

"Well, because the scale of this joint expedition is too large, the supplies are collected by the guild and placed here..."

Watching the bare-chested workers carrying boxes of goods and stacking them neatly, Nazha, who knew more inside information through Chios, said lightly, compared to the expectations of the girls behind him:

"Tomorrow is departure day."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The real intention of the faction joint expedition led by the Loki family is to boost the morale of all Olalie staff.

A large team of more than 14 people, all participants are high-level adventurers, the main force includes 150 first-level adventurers and 2 second-level adventurers.Even blacksmiths, healers, supporters, and cooking crews who are not in charge of front-line operations must be at least Lv.[-].

At first glance, it doesn't seem like a lot, but the combat power of this expedition team is stronger than the [-] regular troops of other countries.

The power of high-level adventurers is no stranger to the residents of this city built above the dungeon.

Usually, even if the S-rank family members go on an expedition, only a few dozen people will be dispatched.A large-scale mobilization like this one can be said to be very rare.

However, people living on the surface have no way to know the battle situation in the maze in time.No matter how many rumors are heard, it is really difficult for people to have a strong emotional response without visual impact.

Therefore, from the standpoint of the guild, it is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective solution to make a big fuss about the preparations before the trip and do everything possible to make a high profile.

And that's exactly what the governing body does...

Concentrate the materials directly in the most eye-catching central square, and send a number of senior adventurers to take turns to stand guard and patrol, guarding boxes and bundles of processed products from farm crops in the suburbs and fishing in the port city of Meren.

Expeditions are not like the dispatch of the national army. There are dedicated logistics personnel to transport supplies to the front line in an endless stream, and there are no fortress warehouses for storing resources on the way.Dangerous dungeons, except for a few areas where no monsters will be generated, are absolutely safe.

Considering that although the fruits produced by labyrinth plants are rich in nutrition, they are not to the taste of most people, and it is unrealistic to supplement enough food through collection.

In view of the above reasons, the expedition team must bring all the supplies to sustain the adventure for a month at a time.

Among them, the production faction headed by the Demeter and Njord families supported the majority of food such as flour, meat, fruits and vegetables, cheese, honey... and so on.

Wood, canvas, and disassembled furniture used to build temporary camps; anvils, mobile furnaces, blowers, and various materials needed to repair adventurer equipment, such as superhard metals, refined metals, and other rare metal anchors, It was filled with ten heavy large containers; in the end, it was the recovery props made by Dean Kate and the Mihe family in a hurry.

A total of [-] large caravans that can only be pulled by domesticated monsters and piled up with supplies are concentrated in the square in front of the northwest entrance and exit of the Tower of Babel, which looks quite spectacular.

Flags embroidered with the emblems of the families participating in the expedition fluttered in the wind.

In this way, it is difficult for people not to notice.

The newcomers of the Hestia family, who had just completed a series of purchases and put on brand new equipment, couldn't help but stop.

Although I couldn't witness the scene of the expedition team fighting in the labyrinth with my own eyes, watching the many well-known family members of Orari doing their best and uniting in the face of the dungeon's mutation can't help but make people feel excited.

"Phew, deep down..."

Alice, who was still getting used to the restraint of the breastplate on her chest, managed to loosen the leather straps connecting the armor plates a little bit. While she was relieved, she attracted several companions beside her.

"What kind of place would that be?"

From the official announcement, we can know that the goal of the joint expedition is to go deep into the floors below the fifty floors, investigate the impact of abnormal events on the monsters in the deep, collect information for any changes that may occur in the future, and sweep out possible hiding in the maze along the way The remnants of the berserk incident, reducing the potential risks of exploration by middle and lower adventurers.

"The floor area is equal to or larger than that of the city. According to the depth, most of the known monsters are between Lv.3-Lv.5..."

The person who answered her was Gita with sharp dog ears.

This dogman, who used to sell information as his main business, is the one who knows the most about adventure among the nine newcomers.

"Without the strength of a second-level adventurer, facing those powerful monsters, we may not even be able to escape, let alone fight. Compared with them, the enemies on the upper level are simply babies."

"This, so strong?"

Seeing Alice's surprised reaction, Geeta shrugged.

"It's just that scary. So don't have unrealistic fantasies. The only thing we can do for those who are about to go on an adventure is to applaud."

"But..." Lucia bent her arms and clasped her hands on her chest, like a girl in prayer, her eyes sparkled with admiration.

"If it's the head of the group, you can definitely defeat it easily, right?"

"Well, if it were him, the monsters before the 40th floor should be able to be dealt with with one swing of the sword, and the monsters below the 40th floor...about two swords."

Gita, who had never really seen the battle of a first-level adventurer, frowned and thought for a few seconds, and finally gave an answer uncertainly.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Meow thinks that the most powerful thing about the leader is his looks and figure, meow."

"Isn't it? Isn't it temperament?"

""Hmm~""

Naza stared at the girls who were unknowingly diverted from the original topic by Lav and began to discuss the charm of Chios, and remained silent.

She didn't say anything, but a man with a displeased face walked out of a team of adventurers who happened to pass by the central square.

"Hey, what kind of nympho is a group of rookies doing here!"

"Look at your equipment, it was newly bought not long ago, right? You don't even know the deep danger... Hmph, how could a rookie family leader like you have such abilities, maybe he Even my uncle can't win!"

As soon as the words fell, the companion behind the man rushed forward and clasped his shoulders.

"Idiot, are you still drunk? Keep your eyes open and look at the other badges on their chests, don't rush to find death!"

Hearing this, realizing something was wrong, the man quickly moved his eyes to the badge.

Seeing this, his pupils immediately contracted to the size of a pinhole.

"Eternal fire, He... Hestia Familia..."

Trembling out the family name, he was immediately ruthlessly ridiculed by the rest of the team:

"If you go to "Sword of Dawn" and say that sentence again, if you can come back unscathed, I promise to buy you three months of wine. "

"It's opening, I bet at least three broken ribs, [-]."

"Hahahaha! I bet six, [-]."

The man was ashamed and indignant by what they said, but he didn't dare to say a word of cruelty.

In this city of adventurers with the family as the core, it is basically impossible to bypass the faction to which any adventurer acts provocatively or hostilely.

The nature is very close to the family concept of the Italian Mafia.

Therefore, the fate of messing with the wrong person is very serious...

If the other party seriously wants to pursue the matter, they can even apply to the management agency for a war game. During the broadcast of divine power open to the world, the instigator and all members of his family will be beaten up. Tendons, too, do not cause any problems.

How could he have the confidence to challenge the "Sword of Dawn" after only struggling at Lv.1 for three years?

That is a person who can be surrounded by lower-level monsters, kill hundreds of monsters and retreat, and is designated as a "contemporary hero" by the management agency.

"Sorry, I was wrong!"

After apologizing, the man who felt ashamed and lost at home hastily turned around and fled the scene in embarrassment.

Seeing this, several adventurers in his team smiled wryly and nodded towards Emma and the others, hoping that they would not care about their companion's rudeness, and then ran to catch up with the man.

Looking at the way these people hooked the man's shoulders, or took out the money bag and patted the chest, they were probably comforting him.

Although they are ruthless in ridicule, in fact they still care about their friends who fought side by side.

This is the adventurer.

Even though life may not be smooth sailing, it will hit the iron plate from time to time.You can face any difficulty with a smile as long as you have a drink with your companions who have given their lives back to back.

Watching this scene, the girls envied that kind of friendship in their hearts, but also couldn't help being a little thankful that they joined the Hestia family and had a leader who could protect them.

"As a fledgling rookie, you don't have any achievements and strengths to boast about. All the praise and awe you get come from the badges on your chests... To be precise, Hess with Chios Tia Familia..."

Sweeping across the girls with complex expressions, Nazha added while the iron was hot:

"So, work hard to become stronger. Defeat a powerful opponent, set up a great cause that even the gods will admire, and imprint your achievements on the badge that protects you now."

""yes! ""

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the evening, Piriano Manor, the restaurant of the main building...

"I didn't expect to encounter such an interesting episode when I buy everything..."

After listening to Nazha's report of what happened in the central square, Chios smiled and picked up the goblet.

Thinking of the mafia family for no reason, he suddenly felt that, as the head of the family and also possessed the cultural heritage of his hometown, he seemed more suitable for the title of "Godfather" than "Head of the Regiment".

Do you want members who join the family in the future to kiss the ring on their hand to declare their loyalty?
