Chapter 2842: Chapter 948: Spoils Distribution? Tch, Boring—Divine Artifacts Have Always Belonged Only to the Strong!

Night is approaching, and soldiers are bustling around the Lord’s position, setting up for the celebration.

Well, calling it a celebration is a bit grand; it’s actually more like a super-sized bonfire party.

After all, this celebration is not officially organized. The reason behind it is that the soldiers on the front line had repelled the Wolf People, which made them happy. Furthermore, upon hearing of the return of the Godslayer Heroes, they spontaneously requested an event. Kudell initially did not want to hold such an unscheduled celebration, but considering the soldiers on the front line had been tense for a long time and the heavy situation at Klim Fortress, allowing the soldiers to relax a bit with the Wolf People already in full retreat didn’t seem to have any downside.

Therefore, once permission was granted, the position quickly became lively.

Chefs from the rear military town were invited over, and players who loved the hustle and bustle even used an armed airship to transport tons of food ingredients to the position. The Staff Department suggested that since there was going to be a celebration, it might as well be done in the form of troop support with a convenient and affordable buffet that could let more soldier brothers feel the atmosphere of impending victory.

This idea gained a lot of support from the players, so the Star Soul Eagle, who was on duty at Wolf Castle, was called back to serve as the head chef for tonight’s celebration.

Considering that most cooks on the current front line were the "apprentices" of Administrative Baron Xiao Wan, and Mr. Xiao Wan had learned cooking from the Star Soul Eagle, all the chefs were respectfully awaiting his command upon his arrival, which added quite a bit of prestige to the scene.

Of course, the war was not officially over yet, so the celebration did not provide any alcohol, replacing it with "sparkling water" made by a group of manufacturing players in the rear.

Those newbie manufacturing players in the game generally had strong hands-on abilities. They designed a manual carbonation canister, successfully producing imitation cola and saline soda in Transylvania.

It’s said that Boss Huo, the wealthy player, is already in touch with those newbies, planning to purchase their technologies to expand his business empire into the soda industry, obviously trying to replicate the success path of a certain brand from another world.

Since it was a welcome celebration for the return of the Godslayer Heroes, Kudell also sent out invitations to other commanders, who happened to be returning from battling the Wolf People at the Swamp Forbidden Area and joined in for the festivities at the position.

This wasn’t specifically giving face to the Transia people; mainly, the Goldenrod Kingdom and Nordtof had also sent warriors to participate in the god-slaying action. The commanders from the two countries also wanted to take this opportunity to offer praises to their respective Godslayer Heroes.

When Murphy and Triss, along with His Highness Prince Hu Fu, arrived late to the position, the place was already bustling.

General Kudell had dispatched his military police to maintain order, keeping the position busy but orderly. Off-duty soldiers gathered around the aromatic grill stands, waiting for the fragrant food to be cooked to enjoy to their heart’s content.

Psychics were making ice to chill boxes of sparkling water, while the Star Soul Eagle was sprinkling "secret spices" that were enticingly spicy on the grill, while some musically talented individuals had already started singing loudly in the night.

Further away, by tens of bonfire piles, soldiers entered a mode of joy, some were dancing, while others hummed along to the tune.

Soldiers raised their oddly flavored sparkling waters sent from the rear, under the glow of the flames, praying for the fallen comrades and celebrating their own survival. Officers, usually stern-faced, lowered their postures, holding drinks while mingling among their soldiers, saying some auspicious words for celebrating victory.

The invited elves felt a bit restrained; such a straightforward celebration didn’t quite fit their traditions, but the dwarves loved it.

Silver Dwarfs and Frost Dwarfs were very satisfied with the food at the celebration, but were quite displeased about the lack of alcohol; making dwarves drink fruit-flavored sparkling water was tantamount to insulting them.

However, orders were orders, so dwarves grumbled loudly, but that was the end of it, especially with Silver Lord Lord Ofg sitting above, no one dared to cause trouble.

But there’s always a way around things; for instance, after the honorary elder of the Stonemason Association, Irich, came over, the dwarves’ complaints immediately ceased.

The sneaky dwarf master architect walked among his compatriots, discreetly tossing out a few bottles of Transylvania’s specialty Flying Sky Wine from his psychic package at each stop, earning exclamations of prowess from his peers.

As for the true stars of the celebration, the God Slayers who accomplished great deeds on the Moss Valley battlefield were having a challenging night.

Though the players were enthusiastic and rowdy, every soldier wanted to come up and have a drink with them, which was bothersome. Even though they were drinking only sparkling water, it was enough to upset one’s stomach. The celebration hadn’t even been going on for an hour when the players frequently went back and forth between the position and the restroom, which was genuinely hard to manage.

But with everyone so respectful, they couldn’t fail to respond accordingly, thus forcing themselves to adopt an open stance toward the enthusiastic "fans," snapping a photo here and there. Like Giant Shark, the guy who was just revived and has a straightforward temper, even agreed to a "friendly match" with the soldiers.
