Chapter 648: Chapter 202: Baby Ke, Don’t You Have a Heart!_1

Before preparing to attack Stonewell City.

Wang Laoju set out to complete the last task at hand.

He had accepted a side quest to deliver a letter from a girl to her father.

The girl, who called herself Irena and was blindfolded, claimed there was a small town to the far south of Sobs Peninsula called Morne City.

Originally, her father Egret was the lord of Morne City.

He had kept a group of subhumans of humble origins as servants.

Like most people in the borderlands.

Egret was loyal to Stonewell City, abiding by the Golden Rule.

All was well.

Until the Elden Ring broke not long ago, challenging the stability of the Golden Rule.

The subhuman servants in the city suddenly started to rebel and massacred the soldiers within.

Irena took advantage of the chaos and was sent out of the city by her father overnight, but her father stayed behind, swearing to uphold the dignity of a lord to the death.

Irena was very worried about her father, she told the player.

She would rather her father be branded a coward for abandoning the city than to wish for him to leave that city and reunite with her.

Therefore, the player needed to deliver the daughter’s letter of persuasion into the perilous Morne City.

Wang Laoju set off with the letter.

Riding his spirit horse at full gallop, he quickly headed south across the continent and saw a dilapidated town standing in the cold wind from afar.

The flags on the city walls had long been torn apart.

And if the player thought of approaching the town, they would be bombarded uninterruptedly by huge arrows from beneath the distant walls.

An arrow was two to three meters long and imbued with the power of storms, creating a stormy spread explosion upon hitting the ground.

Fortunately, with the agility of his spirit horse, Wang Laoju relied on Snake Skin maneuvers to dodge the huge arrows coming head-on and advanced against the wind.

In his approach to Morne City, he caught sight from afar of the main culprits behind the arrows.

It was a Giant Golem constructed from rock, with an enormous bulk and holding a heavy greatbow, locking on to all invading enemies from a distance.

Compared to the Giant Golem, the Stone-digging Mountain Demons that the player had previously encountered and thought to be huge were merely little brothers in contrast.

But this giant seemed to be more bark than bite.

Wang Laoju dismounted and walked under the Giant Golem, drawing his sword to strike at the glowing spot on its ankle.

A few slashes made it stagger, and he quickly ran to a weak spot on its head for an execution.

With one swing of his sword, he easily defeated the golem.

And he concluded that ’the bigger they are, the harder they fall’.

After slaying the Golem and entering Morne City,

as expected, the place had turned into a living hell.

The entire city seemed to be under the control of the diminutive subhumans.

They were a kind similar to the creatures that the player commonly encountered in various underground tombs, akin to Little Devils.

Morne City’s soldiers’ corpses could be seen hanging high in the air everywhere.

And groups of subhumans gathered in small clusters, kneeling devoutly on a ’mountain of corpses,’ appearing to worship some deity related to ’fire’.

With several hours of map exploration experience, dealing with these small creatures was not too pressuring.

After clearing all the subhumans in Morne City, he also harvested quite a number of weapons and items.

But after several comparisons, Wang Laoju found none as useful as his +6 Straight Sword.

While conquering Morne City, he could see some soldiers who hadn’t yet perished making their last desperate resistance against the subhumans.

Initially, Wang Laoju thought to himself that these soldiers deserved admiration for attempting to expel the subhumans until the very end of their lives.

However, after helping the soldiers clear out the subhumans, those fellow soldiers turned around and stabbed him.

Angered, Wang Laoju chose to slaughter the entire city.

And finally, upon reaching the highest point of Morne, he encountered the lord Egret whom Blind girl Irena had mentioned.

There he was, sitting disheartened in his chair, dressed in fine armor but having lost the majesty of a lord.

After speaking with him.

Egret expressed his gratitude to the player.

Thankful that the player lent a hand in the city’s crisis, helping to defend Morne City and drive away the rebellious subhumans.

"I was wondering whether or not to tell him about ’accidentally cutting down his soldiers too’," Wang Laoju just mentioned, and the comments couldn’t help but burst out.

"Re-defining an accident."

"Doesn’t ’accident’ refer to the chairman swearing ’It was you who struck me just now’ while slaying soldiers? /Dog Head"

After speaking with the lord again and delivering Irena’s letter to him,

he immediately stated that the rebellion inside Morne City was quelled, and he could finally take some time to bring his daughter back.

Then there was the repeated conversation.

Wang Laoju suddenly became displeased.

"Come on, I toiled to clean up the whole city’s mess for you, and you don’t even offer a reward?"

"No wonder there was a rebellion in your darn city; if I were them, I would’ve risen up too."

"The lord’s miserliness is unbearable; who could stand such dire days?"

But soon, Wang Laoju suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up!

"Oh! I get it now!"

"He just mentioned he was going to see his daughter, right?"

"Which means the side quest isn’t entirely complete yet."

"When they have their father-daughter reunion, Deng will definitely be so happy that he will offer the quest reward with both hands."

Realizing this, Wang Laoju opened the map.

After searching for a while,

he teleported to the spot where he had accepted the letter delivery task.

But as soon as he landed, he heard a wail of grief not far away.
