Number One Dungeon Supplier

Since Gaeru knew he was grabbing onto Masamune tight with his tongue, he power jumped vertically, avoiding a couple of arrow shots with much ease. He then swiped his weapon around the battlements of the castle's high walls by using the tongue as an extension of his weapon's reach.

Still, it was a long shot considering he could not see too clearly anything too far away in the darkness. Gaeru was estimating his attack on the torches that were lit up as a guide, but in no way the frog swordsman could know whether he was able to injure or kill the archer guards.

Yet, his broken sword now imbued with the Senior Guard's blood unleashed a terrifying energy wave that shook the battlements. The bloodied energy wave had the same damaging effect as the bloody phantom which Gaeru had previously triggered, causing his attack to corrode some of the high walls along with the destruction done by the initial wave of energy.

The frog swordsman wanted to continue, but Jin called out to him via the System Channel to keep going into the inner bailey and towards the castle itself. "They are not dead yet. I have to make sure they are dead." Gaeru retorted which Jin told him to calm down.

"I have competent assassins to make sure that they never have the intention to harm another tribe," Jin promised Gaeru as the frog reluctantly proceeded towards the inner bailey. The Salamander Guard Archers who survived the initial shockwave deemed that the frog was now the problem of the guards further into the castle.

Never did they know that it was not the end as Meomi slowly crept behind one of them and took its head off. Flame Ripper was doing the same on the other side of the outer bailey while his brothers took the further end of the outer bailey. Wyrstriker dived in to stab an unsuspecting archer who had its eyes on the commotion while Dread Reaver slaughtered without a sound.

But not all Salamanders were that oblivious to the sudden deaths of their comrades. They noticed that there were other invaders too but could not make out their build nor species due to the cloudy night and lack of light. So, they activated the alarms to further alert the Salamanders.

Unfortunately, their cries for help were hopeless.

As Gaeru entered the inner Bailey area, the attention was focused towards him alone. The rest of the Salamander Archer Guards had to fend for themselves, and sadly it seemed like they were fighting against shadows. Despite the fact that Salamanders prided themselves to subterfuge and stealth warfare, these archers were considered as rookies in terms of combat, which was a reason they were given patrol duties.

In less than a few minutes, the entire outer bailey was utterly decimated by the goblins and Meomi, which Jin immediately called them back via the portals. Gaeru was now facing a large group of Salamanders, though some suggested waking the King up to suppress this external threat.

Even though the frog swordsman was still holding well against a crowd of heavily armour Salamanders who now stormed to surround him, Jin knew that there was a limit to his stamina.

The System also recommended that some external help should be given before the Salamander King stepped in. "Should I have a get-go at it?" Hamatarou who was uneasy sitting in the Dungeon Maker waiting while the System continued to report what was going on at the frontlines.

"You are our trump card against the Salamander King. I believe he would do the most harm, so making him sleep and subsequently teleport him to a secure area for battle would be a better decision." Jin said as he wanted to capture the King as quickly as possible and used him to rally the rest of the Salamanders.

The dungeon supplier wished to do it with as little people knowing that Hamatarou came into the picture to knock the King out. That way, it would be more believable if the King decided to issue a few orders out of the norm, making the gathering of Salamanders to progress smoother without too many hiccups.

Nevertheless, Jin had seen enough of battles to prepare a few contingencies at hand too, but he knew that there would always be something startling enough to make his contingencies useless. The dungeon supplier could only hope that was not the case for this time around.

"Penguins, your debut," Jin said through the System channel and from the cloudy night skies, four penguin ninjas including Kiddo plunged towards the encroaching circle of heavy armoured Salamander knights.

Each of the penguin ninjas began clapping their flippers together and executed their Elemental Jutsus against the enemies beneath them.

Four streams of elements, Fire, Ice, Lightning and Water was unleashed on the Salamander Knights, giving Gaeru the chance to jump out of the encroachment. This further permitted the penguins to attack without prejudice, disintegrating the knight's formation and went ahead to disrupt the other guards.

The Commander Salamander Knight on the scene could not have imagined that the frog swordsman had a devastating capability after recalling that he was rather harmless in the previous engagement. What was worse was that Gaeru had allies to rely on, making him more formidable.

The Commander Knight had also heard about the penguin tribes before but had never seen any of them wielding such magic. He did not know that such a weak flightless race of animal people would be one of their deadliest enemies to date.

"Men! Steady yourselves! Go for Formation Delta! Archers, switch to those crossbows you found at the Frog Tribe Village. We have to take down these penguins, and that damnable frog before the King wakes up!" The Commander Knight shouted before he was confronted by Kiddo.

But the old Salamander had wits and instinct to rival against Kiddo's incoming short blade. The only drawback was the slight electric shock the Commander Knight received upon defending himself. He hazarded a guess that if the strike hit somewhere vital, the commander himself could be paralysed for an easy kill.

"Men! Switch to Formation Sierra! A hit from those blades might incapacitate you instantly!"

"Heh, they fall for your trick, Kiddo." One of the penguin ninjas whispered through the System Channel.

"Yeah, did not expect you to single out the Commander that quickly." Another penguin Ninja sneered at the order.

"It was mere luck." Kiddo smiled under his face scarf as they continued to distract the Salamander soldiers, so they had trouble regrouping themselves into various circles formation. Seeing that they were going defensive, Jin was on the System Channel kept telling them to press for the attacks.

A quick succession of slashes and kicks to made them feel uneasy, hurrying them to belay their Commander Knight's orders. Eventually, their weapons were drawn out like a sea urchin with its spikes aiming outwards, while at the same time providing the archers with a reliable cover to shoot.

Basically, multiple mini domes were formed within the inner bailey as the archers prepped their bolts and crossbows and ready to shoot when their enemies got into their sights.

The Salamanders would not go down without a good fight, and in fact, the Commander Knight believed he got a decent chance to catch his prey for the night.
