Chapter 2150 Orc Curse Chapter 12
The Fairy Kingdom's Fellowship once again proved to Marika the efficiency of the outsiders. Marika judged that, disregarding the casualties of the Royal Knights and assuming their morale remained high and supplies were sufficient, it would take at least a week to repel the forest created by the blood sea's erosion of the land.

But having climbed from recruit to Grand Master of the Royal Knights, she knew perfectly well that this was an impossible task, and that in the end, the Giant Kingdom Alliance would most likely be forced to abandon the surrounding lands and relocate.

As Marika, she didn't want her homeland to become a monster's lair, but as the Red Dragon Marika, she had to be responsible for the entire Kingdom Alliance.

However, after more than a dozen outsiders joined the battle, the situation was instantly reversed. While repelling the encroachment of the forest, they completed the construction of the basic isolation zone.

This process was exceptionally brutal and direct: the boulders were driven into the ground like nails, forming a circle.

Although the Blood River appears to be able to invade and forcibly change any ecosystem, a closer examination reveals that it can only erode [life].

Blood River cannot erode or change rocks, minerals, metals, or of course soil. Its method of eroding the earth is to allow the life forms it erodes and assimilates to rot and mix into the soil.

The best way is to surround the forest with stones. Fortunately, the forest is close to the Broken Steel Mountains, which was once the largest mine in the Giant Kingdom. The mine is just a few meters below the soil, so the Blood River cannot invade. As long as the forest is surrounded, at least we don't have to worry about the forest becoming a place for the Blood River to invade the land.

Throughout the process, the powerful flying bricks proved most useful, as they were used to drive the boulders into the ground.

The time it took to complete all of this was less than half a day, not half of 24 hours, but half of 12 hours.

Marika once again expressed her sincere gratitude and presented them with the Crimson Dragon Banner of the Royal Knights. This was the highest expression of gratitude she and the entire Royal Knights could offer. With this banner, they could directly enter the Giant's City and meet the Giant Emperor.

The Fairy Kingdom enthusiasts, who were originally taking their time, immediately headed to the Giant City after receiving the flag. When doing quests and socializing, the worst thing is to be in a hurry, but that doesn't mean they had plenty of time.

Before the Titan Extermination campaign reaches its peak and becomes a massive influx of new players, they need to achieve a major reversal in reputation with the Outlanders world.

The Crimson Dragon Banner was indeed quite useful, allowing for a smooth journey. After easily defeating the most dreaded boss in the beginner phase, the Black Beast Knight, I used the teleportation tower in Balkan City to reach the Giant's City.

This is the heart of the Giant Kingdom Alliance, and players are restricted from entering. However, the Crimson Dragon Banner held by the Fairy Kingdom guild serves as a pass to the gate. The exceptionally tall residents of the Giant Kingdom look on with great curiosity at this group of notorious strangers.

Upon arriving at the Giant's Castle, they encountered a slight obstacle, as the royal guards, who resembled small giants, looked at them with conflicted expressions.

The gist of it is that Red Dragon Marika had just reported on the group's contributions, and your arrival so quickly would embarrass the Giant Emperor, who was just preparing to hold an award ceremony, like the main character being about to enter when the party is halfway through.

This was indeed quite awkward, but the group was in a hurry, so they asked the royal guards to inform the giant emperor that they had urgent business to attend to.

The Royal Guards, who are small giants in size, are a special race of the Giant Kingdom. The legendary Genes are people of mixed blood with giants. They are straightforward, have strong likes and dislikes, and deal with things as they are. The fact that the strangers have low reputation in the world does not prevent them from admiring the group's bravery in helping the Royal Knights to ally with the Giant Kingdom, even though they have only known about it for a few minutes.

A royal guard came running into the giant's castle, then came running back, bringing good news: the giant emperor was willing to meet them. This was indeed good news, because assassinating a king or leader was always one of the most worthwhile things to do in games focused on crime, and the giant emperor, the emperor of the world's second-largest kingdom alliance, naturally received extra attention from the players.

To still be willing to see them after all this shows a truly magnanimous heart.

Led by the royal guards, the group became the first players to be invited into the Giant's Castle through the main gate. The tall, imposing royal guards of the Genesis sounded their great horns to welcome the heroes.

The giant emperor was sitting on a huge throne, and when the group of people came before him, he stepped down from the throne.

"Welcome, strangers. Thank you for supporting the Royal Knights and protecting the territory of Fast. But you've arrived far too quickly." The Giant Emperor waved the small piece of paper held between his thick fingers.

"I only received the message a few minutes ago. It seems that changing the reputation of strangers is indeed quite important."

"Whether it's for you or for us."

“It seems Marika has already told you everything, which makes things much easier. We can get straight to the point.” Kate Cat got straight to the point.

"You should know that not all outsiders are villains. Even now, only a small percentage of outsiders are evil. Not long ago, an outsider defeated the Titan, an absolute calamity, but the outsider's reputation in the world is still very low."

"I understand this. We should thank you for your help regarding the Titans, but unfortunately, crises always seem to follow one after another." The Giant Emperor shook his head and sighed helplessly.

"People always like to deliberately hate something. Blaming others for things makes them live more comfortably. Forgetting the favors others have done for them and emphasizing their own gains and losses is the evil of ordinary people. And ordinary people mean the vast majority, including myself."

"Although the Strangers defeated the Titans, for most ordinary people, their lives did not change much. They accepted the Titans as a phenomenon, a natural disaster. Faced with the Titans' ravages, they could not feel anger, but only accepted their bad luck and then took refuge as a matter of course."

"Just like their ancestors, but those three rivers of blood..."

The Giant Emperor's words came to an abrupt end, but the meaning was clear: defeating the Titans would not leave any shock in the hearts of people who had already accepted the existence of the Titans; instead, people would be particularly concerned about the three rivers of blood that appeared after the Titans' death.

Originally, the Titans only destroyed the places they passed through, but now the River of Blood is wreaking havoc on the entire world. In the end, the act of defeating the Titans has brought about an even worse situation.

At least that's what people who have accepted the existence of the Titans think, but there are still groups in this world who have never accepted the existence of the Titans.

“I know you want to go to the Holy Cross Kingdom, and I recommend you go there. It’s the place that’s truly right for you to start.”
