Chapter 60 : The Invasion Complete

Indeed, the personnel on duty on the other side are changing shifts, and their vigilance has relaxed quite a bit.

Moreover, they are stationed in the rear of the entire army, I suppose they just see duty as a mere side job.

Unfortunately, they must not have expected that we would actually sneak up behind them.

"Another boring day, but after our shift today, we should be setting off too, right? I heard from higher-ups that the front-line troops have already started a full-on march. This time it's not just a minor skirmish, it's a full-fledged war."

One of the guards said this.

"Is that so? But we are in the rear army, if the enemy reaches us, it means we've already lost this war, so we can just run away at that point."

Another one said,

"Shh, keep your voice down. If the higher-ups hear you, you'll be in big trouble."

"What's there to fear? He still relies on our strength, but I don't know why the leader has to form an alliance with those bird people. We werewolves clearly have a decent status in the Abyss, and our territory is so far from the Imperial City of demons, so why should we go on the offensive."

"There's no way around it, the new leader seems unsatisfied with our holdings on the border. If it weren't for the last generation of werewolf leaders not dying, the Young Master couldn't bear the loneliness and wanted to return to the Imperial City of demons, it wouldn't be like this."

"Well, let's wait and see. Anyway, we're all in this situation, we can just change our names later and blend in, what's the problem."

"No problem, but for now, I'll let you all rest a bit."

I flashed behind them, then equipped my magic spellbook and electrocuted them both at the same time.

Of course, I also covered their mouths while electrocuting them, so they couldn’t make any noise.

The consequence of this was that the location of the electric shock was a bit closer to their heads, this high voltage would directly pass through their brains, who knows if they will become idiots.

Well, it's good as long as they don't die, what do they have to complain about?

"Sister, why didn't you just kill them directly?"

Oyado looked at the two guys on the ground and asked me.

"Because there's no need, usually, you get more rewards for not killing."

"Not killing for rewards? What does that mean?"

"Well... it's a kind of self-training."

"Oh, I see... Brother is really amazing."

"Well..."

"No, it's Sister now."

"Okay, okay."

I smiled wryly and shook my head.

But...

The next moment, I saw a new information prompt.

Mission Triggered

Complete reconnaissance mission without killing other personnel

Mission Reward

30,000 experience points

3,000 gold coins

My goodness, we're almost at their doorstep and only now the mission is triggered, what does that even mean, this is so frustrating?

And why didn't the previous events become a mission? Are they too lazy to assign tasks or do they not plan to give experience?

Oh well, even if I think like this, it's useless, looks like I have to find a way to complete the mission.

However, suddenly a new information popped up on my terminal, different from others, the sender's name was actually 'World'!

...World... ?

Dear World is an English name in the sending state, what's going on with this?

I opened the message, and the title on it was actually 'System Auto-Transmission'.

And as for the content... It unexpectedly said above:

'Due to insufficient mastery of the world, currently collecting data on the world while outside, the formation of tasks during this period and hints will be designed based on the events encountered by 【Fir】 itself, and updates will be determined by the size of the tasks to decide the degree of delay.'

My goodness, does this mean dear World is not currently controlling the system of this world, but letting the system run on its own? No wonder there have been so few tasks recently. But what exactly is dear World up to? Further understanding of the world? Could it be that initially dear World's mastery of the world was limited to the human realm? Strange, especially considering how long the Demon King has been in the abyss... No, wait, there is a time difference between the abyss and the human realm, which means in reality the Demon King's time in this world may be longer than ours, but not by much...

If that's really the case, then perhaps we arrived in this world at the same time, and the Demon King accidentally ended up in the abyss, utilizing their advantages to grind monsters and becoming the Demon King.

And maybe the reason the other party is working so hard is due to the lack of tasks all along, thus working hard solo became her way of leveling up.

Hmm, I'll confirm with her later, that way I might be able to understand what's really going on.

"Sister, what are you thinking about? We should keep going, the longer we stay, the higher the chance of being discovered."

"I got it, let's go."

As I said that, I had already started taking screenshots of the surroundings using the terminal, then sent them to Aliyah and the others. Based on these images, they should be able to roughly draw the layout of the entire military camp.

Following Oyado, we climbed to the top of one of their barracks after a few tries. Luckily, it seems that these demon races prefer wooden structures, including these military barracks, which gave us a way to climb up.

After reaching the top, the names inside the barracks became easier to recognize. But after skimming through each name inside the barracks, I didn't find my name there.

Which means...

The other party isn't inside the barracks?

My goodness, did we come here for nothing?

I immediately relayed this information to Aliyah and also sent it to the Demon King. After all, if they are not in the rear army, they might be somewhere else planning a surprise attack, which would be troublesome for us.

"Sister, what should we do now?"

Oriya looked around and asked.

"I have been able to record the situation around here, let's move."

"That makes sense..."

And just as we were speaking, the Demon King suddenly sent a message.

'New task, find a way to destroy the enemy's rear army.'

I looked at this task and thought for a moment.

You seriously issued a task yourself? That's surprising...

But...

"Isn't that obvious? Even if you hadn't said it, I planned to do just that."
