Alice, calm outside, burst into excitement once she stepped inside, shouting:
"Chris, come with me to get more supplies."
"Everyone, get ready and bring your travel gear. Also, leave a message."
Chris's heart skipped a beat, surprised that the others' predictions had come true.
He nodded excitedly, but as he glanced at the others, he started feeling conflicted and shook his head, thinking:
"If you want to get rich, you can't overthink it."
An adventurer's life is one of licking blood off the blade, and if you're not mentally prepared, you're the one who will suffer.
Of course, in Bay Territory, things were a little better.
Alice's adventurer squad wasn't the only one mobilizing.
The entire logging camp suddenly buzzed with activity.
Large quantities of supplies were being transported, escorted by soldiers, all heading for Troll Valley.
Close behind were neatly organized soldiers.
Adventurers, eager and restless, followed right after, all heading toward Troll Valley.
Two hours later.
Matthew and his soldiers arrived at Troll Valley.
The excited Leon led his soldiers out to greet them.
The two armies merged, bringing together 70% of Bay Territory's military forces.
The heavily expanded Troll Valley Camp was now just as large as the newly established Murloc Castle.
Adventurers, their fists itching for action, gathered there too.
Many had heard of Bay Territory's military prowess but had yet to witness it.
This time, they'd be part of it from start to finish.
Many adventurers were gathering their friends, preparing for the big operation ahead.
In the war room.
Matthew was studying the map, with the now much more seasoned Leon beside him.
This young warrior had lived up to Matthew's trust.
Not only had he held the perilous Troll Camp, but he also led frequent offensives, capturing trolls with soldiers and adventurers.
After many battles, Leon's strength had improved significantly.
His professional level had reached Level 6, making him a mid-tier warrior.
He was briefing the others on Troll Valley's situation:
"In the southern jungle hills, there are about a thousand scattered trolls, suppressed by the adventurers, so they're not a big concern."
"To the east is a large kobold camp. Lord Gold-Fang often 'recruits' there, so it poses no threat to us."
"The western plains used to be hunting grounds for trolls and ogres, but we've mostly secured that area."
"But in the north, there are three troll groups, each with over a thousand trolls, and one stronghold with over 5,000 trolls!"
"That stronghold belongs to the Rotten Moss Clan, and it was once very fortified and hard to attack."
"But now, it's old and dilapidated, mostly used as a troll settlement!"
"Here's the detailed report on the Rotten Moss Clan..."
Everyone in the room picked up the documents in front of them, even a slightly confused Elona.
Thanks to Bay Territory's generous bounties.
Adventurers had spent over two months gathering information on the Rotten Moss Clan.
They were located north of Troll Valley, occupying a vast hilly area with around 300,000 trolls.
Normally, a clan with hundreds of thousands of trolls would be an enormous threat to Bay Territory.
So why did Matthew dare to launch an attack?
The reason was simple: the Rotten Moss Clan was in the middle of internal strife.
A clan with hundreds of thousands of trolls had splintered into three factions.
They had been waging war against each other for decades.
The most powerful faction in the northern stronghold was the Gurubashi!
They were the strongest of the three factions, requiring the other two to team up to resist them.
Gurubashi trolls?
Matthew raised an eyebrow, reviewing the information, thinking quietly to himself:
"So it's the Gurubashi trolls that replaced the Rotmoss trolls... No wonder I hadn't heard much about Rotmoss trolls..."
