Chapter 148 Getting Two Missions At The Same Time

An unexpected happiness consumed him when Ace saw a notification.

'A quest?'

It had been a month since the last time he received a quest from his system, so his heart was filled with happiness.

But what made him happiest was that his quest was similar to his reason for participating in the monster subjugation.

Become a famous person!

Even though his intention of participating in the monster subjugation was to show everyone that he was no longer weak, it could be said it was related to his quest.

After all, he would become famous after showing everyone how strong he was.

'I didn't expect to get a quest like this. It seems like today is my lucky day.'

Even though he was thrilled, he did not show it on his face.

[Goddess of War utters, since this will be your first time participating in a big battle, let me spice things up.]

[Ding! Goddess of War gives you a quest. An Aeris has to stand out from ordinary awakeners because they are people chosen by the heavens. Be the first to kill a 3-star Red Ogre and under five minutes, and Goddess of War will give you one card. Do you accept it?]

'This quest is challenging.'

He believed he could be the first to kill a 3-star Red Ogre, but killing it in under five minutes was hard.

Of course, it was not impossible because he had several good skills and magic now.

'I accepted it!'

Even though he did not know whether he could complete the quest or not, he still accepted it because his grandpa always told him to try first before saying he could not do it.

[Goddess of War utter, I will give you a good card if you can complete my mission, so do your best to complete the quest.]

[Several divine beings are curious about the card.]

[Three Gods are guessing the card.]

Due to how happy he was, Ace could not express the happiness within him in words.

Not only did he get two missions at the same time, but the Goddess of War said she would give him a good card if he could complete the mission.

She was the Goddess of War, so he believed the reward card would be amazing.

'I will go all out from the start.'

No matter what happened, he had to complete these two missions.

"Alright. Prepare everything now." Scarlett uttered, "We will attack the Red Ogre village immediately."

One by one, everyone walked out of the conference tent.

When Ace was about to say something to Scarlett, Layla suddenly dragged him out of the tent. "Ace, follow me. I have something to say to you."

At this moment, only four people were left in the tent; Henry, Edward, Scarlett and Lieutenant Valeria.

"Scarlett, look at them! It seems like Ace has a special relationship with Layla." Henry tried to ruin Ace's relationship with Scarlett.

'I'm sure she is angry at Ace and Layla now.'

He added in his head.

However, Scarlett's response was the complete opposite of what he thought.

She still acted normally!

There was not even the slightest sign of anger in her eyes or face.

She behaved as if it was normal for Layla to have an intimate relationship with Ace.

Actually, there were two reasons why she behaved calmly like that. First, she already knew that Ace had a special relationship with Layla.

And last, she believed Layla would become one of his women in the future. These were the reasons why she acted calmly.

"Lieutenant Valeria, follow me." After saying that, Scarlett walked out of the tent.

Lieutenant Valeria wasted no time and immediately followed Scarlett.

"Hey, Scarlett! Are you not angry at them?" Henry shouted when he saw them walking out of the tent.

'Fuck!'

He kicked the wooden table when Scarlett ignored him.

Henry then looked at Edward and uttered, "Edward, stay close to Ace later. When he fights a 3-star Red Ogre, take advantage of the situation to kill him."

"Alright." Edward nodded his head.

Thirty minutes later, everyone was ready to attack the Red Ogre village.

Scarlett, who was standing in front of her people, uttered, "Let's go destroy the Red Ogre village."

"Destroy the Red Ogre village."

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

One by one, her subordinates shouted.

"Let's go!" Scarlett led her people to the Red Ogre village.

As they were heading to the Red Ogre village, Sean kept staring at Ace.

'Why is he still fine? Or is he only pretending?'

It had been an hour since he gave Ace the poisoned food, so the poison's effect should have started working by now.

However, there was no sign of Ace feeling fatigue, limp or lethargy. This was the reason why he kept staring at Ace.

As Sean was looking at Ace, Henry talked with his son.

"Edward, remember your mission." Henry said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Father. I won't forget it." Edward responded immediately.

'Why do I feel fatigue, limp or lethargy? What's wrong with me?'

He asked in his head.

'Is it because of Ace's attack?'

He suddenly suspected it was because Ace had hit him really hard a few minutes ago.

'Ace, I will make you pay for your actions later.'

He clenched his fist as he stared at Ace.

Red Ogre Village, Conference Building.

There was a conference building in the village. The building was big and located in the middle of the village.

The conference building was important and always guarded by several goblins and ogres because this was the place where they discussed something crucial.

There was nothing but ten chairs in the conference room because that place was not a place for relaxation.

These ten chairs were arranged in a rectangular shape, and every chair in the room made a political statement about their role in the meeting and their importance to the village.

There were currently eight red ogres in the conference room. These eight ogres came to the conference room because they wanted to discuss something important.

Nightshire city!

Yes, it was related to Nightshire City!

There was something they wanted in Nightshire City, so they desired to destroy the city and take it.

Of course, they still did not know that Scarlett and the others were on their way to their village because they did not leave their village in the last two days.

"That fool Zreg almost ruined our plan!" a Red Ogre, who wore a skull necklace, stated.

The name of that ogre was Verag. Verag was a sadistic ogre and their village's first instructor.

As for Zreg, he was the 3-star goblin that attacked the farmers a few days ago.

Yes, he was the goblin killed by Lieutenant Valeria and her subordinates!

"We even lost thirty soldiers. Sigh." A Red ogre, who had blue eyes, sighed.

He was Mokur, the second instructor. Even though he was also angry at Zreg, but he could control his emotions.

"Even though I knew he was stupid, I did not expect him to be that stupid!" A Red Ogre, whose body was filled with tattoos, sighed.

The name of this ogre was Ozur. Even though he was the third instructor, but he was almost as strong as Mokur.

"Zagrut, why didn't you stop him?" a Red Ogre, who wore armor, inquired.

This ogre was famous in the village because almost all female ogres wanted to mate with him.

He was also the ogre with the coolest build among the ogres in the conference room. The name of this popular ogre was Gliorag, a playboy ogre.

"He said he only wanted to kill magical beasts. I didn't expect him to attack the citizen of Nightshire City." Zagrut, who was crossing his arms over his chest, responded.

"You are as stupid as Zreg, Zagrut." A female ogre with red eyes stated.

The name of this female ogre was Durg. She was one of Gliorag's women.

"What did you say?" Zagrut was unhappy when Durg said he was stupid.

"I said you are stupid like Zreg." Durg repeated her words without feeling afraid.

Zagrut rose to his feet and hit the table. "How dare you call me stupid, you slut!"

Durg stood up. "What did you say?"

"Stop it! How dare you fight in front of village chief!" a female ogre with green eyes spoke abruptly.

Like Durg, she was also Gliorag's girlfriend. Her name was Erg.

A female ogre, who had been closing her eyes all this time, finally opened her eyes. "It had happened, so stop blaming each other. Instead, we have to think of a way to attack the city of Nightshire."

The name of this old female ogre was Izug. She was the village head.

"Village chief, what was the result of your meeting with the Lion King?" Mokur asked curiously.

"Lion King refused to help us." Izug gave an honest answer. "We have to find another potential ally now."

They only had two hundred soldiers, so they did not dare to attack Nightshire City openly.

"If only the Winged Tiger had not died at the hands of that female mage, I believe we would have gained a powerful ally by now." Gliorag sighed when he remembered that Evelyn had killed Winged Tiger.

"There is no use of gru-" Izug stopped her words halfway when the earth suddenly shook.

"Earthquake?" like Izug, the other ogres were also shocked.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The sound of something big falling from the sky reverberated in the entire area.

"No! This is not an earthquake!" Izug rose to her feet and rushed out of the conference room.

The other ogres followed her.

When Izug saw many giant stones falling from the sky, she knew it was not an earthquake. "We are under attack! Get ready to fight!"
