The First Legendary Beast Master-Chapter 888 Mission
Chapter 888 Mission
After dinner, the Dwarves returned home, and Karl began catching up on some of the most requested items.
Not things that customers had paid to have custom-made for them, but ones that they had inquired about, to see if they might be in stock some time soon.
That was how Davis was guiding the shop's stock. First, replenish what they sold, then try to bring in the things that customers had asked about, to see if they sold well too. The fact that it was all Commander Rank items now, with a few Royal Rank utility items from Dora, wasn't a big deal to them. The more powerful items might have caught the attention of passing merchants and the super wealthy, but the Commander Rank items comprised the vast majority of what people needed out of combat.
If you were getting a charm made to repel dust in the house, it didn't need to clean the entire block, just the kitchen.
The next morning, Karl was just getting started on the first item of the day, an Overlord Ranked Mana Storage trinket, when Nachtia and Tessa came back from the gate together.
"There is a new mission on the day's sheet." Tessa informed the room.
"Oh, something caught the attention of the Red Dragon?" Dana asked, looking up from a magical theory book.
"Apparently. The black dragon as well. I found Nachtia there when I got the urge to go get a mission sheet from the guards." Tessa agreed.
That was interesting, so Karl motioned for her to put it on the table, where everyone could see it.
Most of the missions were lower grade monster suppression missions, and a few bandit bounties. But the new one was a border mission. A few hundred kilometres northwest of Gazdri, in the northwest corner of the nation, there were reports of undead raids coming in from Bomgon.
Now, the Undead came in many varieties, from the shambling zombie and skeleton hordes, to intelligent forces like the Lich Lords and the Wights.
The sheet didn't specify, but if it intrigued both the black and red dragon, it was certainly organized with intelligence, and the threat level was considerable enough to cause mass destruction.

"Should we go over? I can open a portal to Gazdri, and then we can either get a wagon, or I can bring the group over." Karl offered.
Nachtia looked confused. "If you aren't using a wagon, how would we all get there? I could transform and fly with someone small. But the rest of you won't fit on the Thunderbird."
Karl winked at her. "I have a way to cheat. But it's a small secret."
Nachtia's full attention was now on him, and Lotus giggled as she realized that Karl had mastered the art of dragon baiting. They loved secrets and new information. It didn't matter what dragon species, they all shared that one common trait. It was practically etched into their bloodline.
"You have my word that I won't leak the information." Nachtia swore.
"Alright, everyone, please step through the portal, and I will bring us to the battle. Dana, would you mind giving her the grand tour? Rae did name this the Dana Space, after all."
Dana laughed and stepped through the entrance to the [Tiny World].
Nachtia was right behind her, and Karl smiled as he watched the dragon transform and begin flying around the separate space, examining everything.
Then Karl gathered the remainder of the team, Remi included for a change, and went to Gazdri.
The Guild could function without them for a bit. They had enough workers to take care of everything, and Remi had taught her apprentices enough to make the common potions, even if they couldn't make the powerful healing potions that were one of the bestsellers.
When they had downtime in the evening, she could just make some and refill the stock in the Guild Bank. They weren't even leaving Drodh, and Karl could easily access it from where he was standing in Gazdri.
Karl called out Hawk, and then used Remi's [Swims Through Air] racial ability to get up to his back.
[You too? First my sister, now the Karl swims in air?] Hawk sighed.
[But you're still flying us to battle. Let's go see what was so interesting that it attracted both clerics.]
Hawk raced off to the northwest, following the directions from the Guards' map.
If it was big enough that Tessa noticed, they shouldn't have any problems finding the battle.
Twenty minutes later, they had located the most likely source of the threat. There was an entire army of skeletons, led by a Lich Lord and a large group of Death Knights.
A small force of defenders had gathered, and there was a single Totem among them to face the Lich Lord, but Karl had a good feeling about this one. If they worked it right, he might manage to get the over rank kill.
It was only a ninety percent damage reduction, and they had a Cara.
Karl landed at the back of the army of Orcs and Demons, then opened the exit to lead everyone out of the separate space.
To others, it looked like he was just summoning them out of a portal, and the defenders began to perk up when they realized he had brought another Overlord, and
a half dozen Monarchs.
Then the beasts came out of their spaces, and things started to look up for the defence
team.
Karl went to the Totem, who was most likely the nearest city Governor, and nodded in greeting.
"What does the total force look like? We only got the basics from the Drodh City Guard's notice." He asked.
"This is what we're at this morning. There were eight points of attack yesterday, but most started after noon. Standard strategy says that they're testing the border to find vulnerabilities to spread the blight and claim more territory."
Karl smiled. "Well then, I suppose that I should take a team and go kick some teeth in. Did you want assistance with that Lich Lord? I can lend you a Cara. She can Nullify
magical attacks."
The Totem looked at him strangely. "You didn't even look at my nameplate, did you?" Karl belatedly checked it. {Prince Steven, thirty-fourth heir of Drodh} Cleric
Oh. Not a combat specialist.
