June and the rest were walking deeper into the dungeon no longer with a dwarf in tow. Oh, the information they were supposed to gain? Yeah, the Duergar knew nothing at all. They even tried to use a mind-reading spell but gained nothing from that at all. So, they killed him and just continued deeper into the dungeon.
It did take a bit longer, now that they had to find bigger tunnels because they had a Tiger following along, but it was a necessary detriment.
"How come we can't hear any hammering? With how deep we are we should have heard something by now!" Alice said with and tilted her head.
Micah smirked at her comment and as he was about to turn it into something sexual June said "I don't think there are any dwarves left down there. The ones we killed were runaways I think."
"What are they running away from? Isn't that like out of the fire and into the frying pan?" Aurelia said while tapping on her chin.
"Although you said that backward it makes sense because I don't think this tiger is as strong as whatever they are running from," June said with a nod.
"If it's so strong why are we walking towards it?" Micah said with a frown.
The other four looked at him as if he were stupid and he said "Right...Right...The number one guild"
They continued walking and Skylar and Aurelia got into another conflict about something stupid.
---??? Pov
"What the fuck is this?" A man with scarlet red hair held back by a headband, and spiked to perfection was staring out in from of him at a massive army of fishmen. He was wearing crimson red armor while holding a pure black blade and his fist was clenched so hard it was turning white. "Why are there so many of them?"
This man was Drake, the leader of Scarlet Flame, the ninth strongest Guild in Rise of Kings, and currently, his territory was under attack by fishmen.
"What of our allies! Those useless shits! Can't they send any people over?" Drake said as he slammed his fist against the table where a map was shown displaying his territory.
"They said they are securing their territories so that no intruders can take them over." A man who was standing next to him said calmly.
"Damnit! Those fuckers just want me to die, don't they! Why did this army happen to attack now! We were so close to ruining that fucker June, but we all got sent into this fucking place! Damnit Damnit Damnit!!!!" Drake was beginning to rampage, and all the chairs and tables around him were quaking in fear.
"Please calm down Guild Leader, your anger will not help us at the moment. I suggest we come up with a plan of action, and fast." the man said to him.
Drake was huffing and puffing, but he slowly calmed himself down and sat back down in his chair "Alright, what are our best options."
"From what I can see we have three options." The man started.
"Option 1: We stay and fight them with everything we got, and hope for some miracle that we win. With how we are looking now, I'd say the chances of us surviving are 3%"
"Option 2: We retreat and conserve our forces and maybe we can make it out with forty percent of our forces intact. The chances of this happening are 73%"
"And the last option where we can keep eighty percent or more of our forces..."
"Oh? eighty? I don't think that's possible, not without the help of the other Guilds, but they do not seem to be interested in helping us."
"Yes indeed, that's why my last option, although it may not be to your liking. Is to request help from Guardian Angel" The man responded.
"WHAT! That's the stupidest shit I've ever heard! They are our enemies! We tried to kill them just nine hours ago!" Drake yelled at the man.
"Indeed, that is why for this plan to work. We would also need a miracle."
Drake sighed and sat back down on his chair looking at the map that showed the enemy forces invading his territory.
"A Miracle huh..."

June was looking in front of him staring towards a massive hole that was dug out of the side of the mountain. He did not see it before when he went to enter into the dungeon, because it was made on the other side from where he entered.
Looking around he saw countless Duergar massacred and splattered into piles of meat and blood. They stood no chance and were forced to run for their lives.
"I assume what did this was the Dungeon Boss." June said as he looked around "I just can't figure out the motive"
Normally dungeon bosses would not be able to kill the other monsters in the dungeon, but it seems the rules have changed now that they are in a different world.
Skylar came back at this moment with a pout on her face "There was naught I could find that was valuable. Just some stupid iron and ineffective weapons". Skylar had the best nose when it came to finding treasures because as a dragon she loves treasure, It was her favorite thing in the world, second only to June!
"Collect those useless things anyways. We don't know if we will need them later. When you are done we can head back" June said and Skylar pouted before running back to collect the items.
Skylar quickly came back with nothing in her hands, and June said nothing before they teleported back. He wanted to see if he was allowed to teleport now that they were in a different world, and it seems that he could.
'It looks like I can take nothing for granted that was considered universally correct in Rise of Kings' June thought to himself as they appeared inside of the Throne Room.
"Skylar go place the stuff you gathered in the treasure vault. The rest of you can go do what it is you normally do. I have something I need to do" June dismissed them.
Aurelia and Skylar nodded before disappearing. "Well, I am going to go look at some muscle men who are hard at work!" Micah said before he disappeared causing June to sigh because he knew that Micah was going to decrease the work efficiency of whomever he went to bother.
June then looked at Alice with a raised eyebrow wondering why she hadn't teleported away. "I normally stay by your side."
June was stunned before he realized that she was right "Well don't you want to go do one of your hobbies or something you would like to do?"
"This is what I like to do," Alice said with a straight face.
June gently smiled when she said this and held out his hand to her to which she blushed and grabbed a hold of it.
"Well then my princess, come with me," June said in a smooth voice.
The two could only act like this when they were alone because Alice's status was as his maid, and although June never cared about such things Alice was adamant on ensuring his public image.
"Hey since there is no paparazzi anymore now that we are in a new world do we still need to be hiding our relationship?" June said as he bent forward and nibbled on her ear.
Alice was having trouble speaking as she stuttered out "D-Don't you have somewhere you wanted to go?"
"Ah you are right this can wait until tonight," June said as he gave her a quick kiss before they teleported away.
