Chapter 25: Plains Of Death (Part 1)
Thinking about how many of them would enter the World Of Eorera and become his force against the demon race, Hanjun felt very pleased, as if he were watching the crops that would be growing in the future.
However, Mister Trouble Maker wasn't entirely wrong about the issues he raised.
Hanjun didn't want too much trouble, so he casually resolved the issue.
…
After dealing with the problems on Earth, Hanjun put on the Holy Son's disguise and got ready to sneak around and check on the players.
From the progress of the mission, it looks like the players have started clearing out the wild beasts in the Eastern Plains to open a path for transporting stones.
When Hanjun reached the Eastern Plains and took a look from afar, everything was going as he expected, and the players were doing well so far.
However, these relaxed players might not know yet that this mission won't be so easy to complete.
Hanjun had already checked out this area before and learned some things through Father Barry, piecing together the situation in the Eastern Plains.
The Eastern Plains were actually called the "Plains of Death" by the people of Ulon Town even before the demons arrived.
Even though it's a wide plain, the people who escaped from Ulon Town didn't dare to cross it.
The name "Plains of Death" has a long history.
About ten years ago, Ulon Town was visited by the owner of this land, Viscount Hereford.
The Viscount usually didn't step into his territory, but somehow he found out that there were minerals beneath some hills past the Eastern Plains.
He ordered the opening of a quarry and gathered the local residents to start mining.
If it had been normal mining, the local residents could have made some money, and it would've been a good job—a win-win situation.
However, the problem came during the mining process.
The quarry workers started disappearing.
At first, no one noticed, but as more and more people vanished, their families in Ulon Town began asking questions.
That's when people realized that many workers were missing.
The adult men of Ulon Town formed a small group, armed with weapons and torches, to explore the Eastern Plains and find out what was happening.
When they saw the half-human-sized white wolf on the rock, everyone was terrified.
It turns out that, at some point, a pack of wolves had gathered in the Eastern Plains, led by a giant white wolf.
This explained why the miners had disappeared—they had all been killed by the wolves and probably left only bones behind.
How could they possibly defeat a pack of wolves?
Even Father Barry couldn't do anything about it.
The people reported the news to Viscount Hereford, asking him to find a way to deal with the wolves.
After hearing about the giant white wolf, Viscount Hereford didn't care at all.
He ordered everyone to withdraw from the quarry and then disappeared without a trace.
The people of Ulon Town were stunned.
