Mission Objective: Take up your weapons. For Lord Sherlock and Eternal Kingdom, destroy the Houndhead Men Tribe and obtain the skull of their leader, Cramer!

  Reward: Gamers who are involved in the battles will be given one of the three levels of reward based on battle performance.

  Bronze Reward: Gamers with ordinary contribution will receive 100 bronze coins and 100 Reputation Points.

  Silver Reward: Gamers with excellent contribution will receive 300 bronze coins and 300 Reputation Points.

  Gold Reward: Gamers with extraordinary contribution will receive a silver coin and 1000 Reputation Points. (Limited to 10 Goblins)

  Mission Hint: Cramer is the notorious leader of the Houndhead Men and a demon in the memories of the Underworld citizens. He is very strong and has the protection of the Houndhead Men Tribe. Please be fully prepared before forming an expedition group. Cramer fears Lord Sherlock’s power, so he will not be close to Eternal Kingdom. Gamers can enter the safe area via the Eternal Kingdom. Cramer will attack Goblins on sight.]

  After checking, Sherlock published the notice.

  Bru announced the reward for the Houndhead Men leader, Cramer, via the system notice to all gamers. The monster bestiary was only available on the official forum and website.

  The gamers received Bru’s mission when they were discussing where the Houndhead Men came from and whether there would be hidden missions.

  “It’s finally out! This Mission Description — is this a chain mission?”


  “Finally, is this a Main Plot Mission?”


  “It’s the first chapter. It must be the Main Plot Mission.”


  “The first Main Plot Mission is difficult. Isn’t the first Chapter Main Plot Mission usually just a basic mission?”


  “This game has been hardcore for more than two days, and you are only complaining now that it’s hard?”


  “What do we do? Shall we form expedition groups?”


  “We were just annihilated, and our equipment is incomplete. Let’s carry bricks and prepare our equipment.”


  “I want to go! Bring me along!”


  “Make haste! Shall we discuss how to fight?”


  The gamers discussed excitedly everyday. The Beta Gamers had the advantage, and NotWearingPants became the forum leader. After some heated discussion, everyone came to a conclusion—Find out more about the enemy.

  Defeating the Houndhead Men was a difficult challenge. The leader, Cramer, wielded a large hammer. Even when the Goblins were using shields, they were unable to withstand the blow from the hammer. The shield perhaps would not be damaged, but their arms would be shattered. With a second blow, the Goblins would either be killed or maimed.

  Though the Houndhead Men were strong, they were not invincible. As long as the gamers continued to observe, they were confident they could come up with the appropriate tactics.

  When they had encountered the Spiders, hadn’t the Spiders also felt invincible? Hadn’t they triumphed over the Spiders in the end?

  How could the game make the mission impossible to complete? Unless it was a system bug that made gamers unable to complete the mission!

  The gamers used their own ways to find out more about the enemy!
