Chapter 307: Happy Birthday

Apart from those so-called heroes, each of the three major legions was equipped with two S-Rank adventurers to accompany the forces, responsible for stabilizing the overall situation.

Therefore, in the end, only the Third Guild suffered a huge loss—not only did they lose the fight, but they were also “swindled” out of two young talents by the Second Guild.

The PvP segment was finally over, and now it officially entered the PvE stage.

The hour had arrived, and the three armies set forth!

Hundreds of adventurer teams began to move, advancing toward the depths of the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests.

At the very front of the Radiant Light Legion were the Vice President, Divine Blade Huck, and the Strategist, Miss Meihua, leading the way. At the same time, they were accompanied by two mysterious figures radiating powerful auras.

Without much thought, these two were clearly the S-Rank adventurers affiliated with the Radiant Light Guild.

The four formed the Radiant Light Legion’s [Command Squad], responsible for coordinating the overall situation, operating almost non-stop, serving as the legion’s mobile command center.

Following the Command Squad was the Radiant Squad, composed of five beautiful young women.

Their role within the legion was more akin to a “spiritual symbol,” a beacon illuminating everyone’s hearts.

This was the true meaning of a “hero.”

However, the two young female heroes from the Second Guild didn’t quite fulfill this role effectively. Instead, that pure white figure within the squad seemed more like the real “mascot.”

One could say the two young female heroes could only follow behind the Priestess, playing a supporting role and basking in her halo.

Once they left the camp, the sense of security vanished instantly.

Even for tough individuals like Samimi and Niubao, who dared to run around at night, once they left the camp, they would feel discomfort.

Because this place—

was an Uninhabited Zone.

Countless predecessors had stepped into this area, yet none had ever succeeded in establishing a stable camp. Each region had its own special dangers, making long-term stationing difficult.

And the Radiant Light Legion was stepping into this truly unknown land.

After Samimi arrived in this world, her initial experience involved a period of PvE, but afterward, she was mostly engaged in PvP combat.

However, judging by her class positioning, she was actually more inclined toward PvE.

Priest Skills, the Mage System—both were stronger against monsters.

She had even nearly lost to Laegasyas, who specialized in PvP. If not for her brains and tactics, she wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

But a tactic like “Doppelganger Backstab” could only be used once.

The second time, it could only serve as a life-saving skill.

Fortunately, the most reasonable person in the former Hero Party, Laegasyas, had been subdued and recruited by her.

She basically wouldn’t have to worry about a direct PK with her in the future.

“Hey, I’ve developed a new type of flame bomb. Let’s spar.”

Bemore came to pick fights from time to time.

“Again? Let me see what weird trick you’ve come up with this time.”

Samimi complained verbally, but she usually agreed.

Because—

it was too boring.

The marching process was just traveling during the day and setting up camp at night.

The Radiant Squad had almost no tasks.

Hunting Magic Beasts? That wasn’t their job.

The adventurers on the periphery had already cleared the monsters spotlessly.

A legion of thirty thousand people was simply overwhelming for scattered Magic Beasts.

Dozens of squads cooperating in combat were practically bulldozing through.

For others, this was a carnival of adventure.

But for Samimi and the others who were “heavily protected”—

it was extremely boring.

Night.

Samimi deployed her Deep Red Shield.

Bemore continuously bombarded it with Compressed Dragon Bullets, testing the strength of the spell.

Her Dragon Bullets were compressed smaller and smaller.

From the initial size of a tennis ball to the current size of a ping-pong ball.

Yet their power was even greater.

If this continued, she might truly be able to compress them to bullet level.

Samimi was secretly on guard.

‘This girl is growing too fast.’

But fortunately, she had already thoroughly beaten her in their second match, temporarily suppressing her edge.

On the other side.

Niubao and Serina were subjected to Laegasyas’s high-intensity training every day.

Countless Wind Blades attacked from all directions.

They kept dodging, like playing dodgeball.

Their speed, reaction, and physical fitness were all comprehensively improving.

Niubao was especially pushing herself to the extreme.

She immersed herself in the Wind Fighting Spirit every day, her obsession growing stronger and stronger.

She even managed to “drain” Laegasyas in reverse, exhausting all her Fighting Spirit for the day.

Days passed one by one.

The Radiant Squad remained bored.

But the entire legion—

was growing stronger.

Fighting, training, cooperating.

The thirty-thousand-strong force was gradually becoming a single, unified rope.

“Feels like this part of the plot has nothing to do with us…”

Logically, this should be where a grand group battle scene unfolds.

But—

never mind.

“Crackle crackle—”

The flames flickered.

Most of the time, Samimi sat outside the tent meditating.

Although they were in the forest, she felt utterly secure.

Because around them—

there were at least a hundred adventurer squads guarding them.

The only unpleasant thing was not having bathed in a long time.

But Otherworldly beauties had a natural self-cleaning ability; not bathing didn’t make them smelly.

Even a pervert like Close—

could stay fragrant her whole life without ever bathing.

…Even though her soul was absurdly dark.

Back to the main topic.

The Ten Guild Alliance, in essence—

was entirely the credit of Samimi, the “Transmigrator.”

The plot had completely deviated from its original track.

The original plot was—

Magic Sword Reid massacring the southern adventurers, leading the Abyss Vanguard out of the Sea of Ten Thousand Forests to invade the Central Kingdom.

And now—

it was humanity taking the initiative.

An army of thirty thousand, launching a counterattack into the deep forest.

All of this was the result of Samimi’s series of “meticulous (?) plans.”

The Human Race had shifted from passive to active.

The significance was immense.

But—

no one would thank “Samimi.”

They would only thank—

the Valkyrie Priestess, Shalum.

“Being protected too well… I want to go grind monsters too.”

Samimi sighed.

Her “Goodness Value” system was almost approaching five hundred points.

It would be best to break through before facing Magic Sword Reid.

Otherwise, cramming at the last minute would be troublesome.

Speaking of Magic Sword Reid—

it had to be analyzed seriously.

Even with thirty thousand troops pressing forward—

if they clashed head-on, they could still be completely annihilated.

Because—

it was a [Mechanism Boss].

Similar to the Female Vampire Queen, but more terrifying.

Not only did it have mechanics, but it also had top-tier stats.

It was both a “Mechanism Boss” and a “Stats Boss.”

Even if you knew its weakness, without the strength, you couldn’t touch it.

In the original plot—

countless human powerhouses died before they figured out the mechanics.

Finally, the Hero of the Gale delivered the finishing blow.

It was extremely brutal.

But now—

Samimi possessed the intel.

The legion’s overall strength was also greater.

Theoretically, the chance of victory was higher.

But she wasn’t optimistic.

Because—

the Dungeon had [Dynamic Difficulty].

If humanity grew stronger, the Abyss would also grow stronger.

However, she still had confidence.

Because—

the “key figure” to end Magic Sword Reid was right in her team.

And they had appeared ahead of schedule.

This was “Fate.”

Fate, in this world, was almost equivalent to the law of causality.

Promises, vows—

all possessed binding force.

Half a month into the march.

One night, by the campfire.

Samimi suddenly said:

“By the way, today is my birthday.”

Everyone was stunned.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

In a place like this, there was no way to celebrate.

“What’s a birthday?” Niubao asked.

“It’s a day to celebrate the day you were born,” Samimi explained. “What about you?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then from now on, my birthday will be your birthday.”

“Priestess, please call me Niubao,” Niubao corrected.

“Alright, alright, to celebrate both our birthdays, extra rations!”

Samimi gave half of her food to her.

Vegetable and meat stew—

was already high-end in the wilderness.

Ordinary adventurers could only gnaw on dry rations.

Suddenly.

Her hands felt heavier.

Serina gave her own portion to Samimi as well.

She even flashed a “I’m so cool” smile.

“Hmph.”

“Happy birthday to you, and to Niubao too,” Laegasyas also said.

“Sounds a bit forced?” Samimi laughed.

“I’m being sincere!”

“I was joking, thank you.”

She was uncharacteristically gentle.

Only Bemore remained silent.

Maintaining her aloof persona.

This night.

There was no training.

No conflict.

Everyone just sat around the fire, spacing out.

Enjoying this moment of peace.
