"Long time no see, Tsubaki."
Su Mo exchanged a few more polite words with her.
Mainly, Chun said that Hephaestus had been nagging from time to time recently, and Hestia hardly played with her anymore, and Su Mo hadn't gone to see her, making it seem as if the alliance had never been formed.
Su Mo scratched his head awkwardly: "The main reason is that I have a lot of personal matters to deal with. Next time, I will definitely visit Hephaestus when I have time."
This is really embarrassing. He took advantage of the reputation of Hephaestus's family and made Hestia famous, but he never moved around again after that.
That is to say, Hephaestus and Hestia have a good relationship, otherwise, if this were to happen, the relationship between the two would almost fade.
"It's no use telling me this."
Tsubaki shrugged, then added: "But I will help you convey it to Goddess Hephaestus."
"Thank you very much."
At this time, there was a commotion in front of the team and people began to move forward.
"Let's go. I have to go back, or I'll be scolded by my sister again. Goodbye, little brother, we'll talk later."
Seeing this, Diona hurriedly said goodbye to Su Mo and hurried back to the front of the team.
"It's time for me to get back to my position."
Chun also left.
Su Mo shrugged, then took Kanae and the other three girls to the seat arranged for them by Finn.
The long team entered the dungeon in an orderly manner, announcing the beginning of the expedition of Loki's family.
Because people had been sent out to explore the way early, the team did not stay for long and marched quickly towards the eighteenth floor.
Only when they reached the eighteenth floor did the team stop to take a short rest.
Then Su Mo was called over by Finn about the radio.
Su Mo also took out the two boxes.
One box contained the radio station and the handset, and the other contained the batteries.
After handing over the forty sub-machines to Finn, explaining how to use them and the precautions to take, he started tinkering with the main station.
After the receiving antenna was set up, the frequency was adjusted, and it responded to the forty sub-machines, it was handed over to Kanae and the others.
He also asked Finn to assign four more women with clear articulation to act as receivers, responsible for processing the information sent back by the sub-machine.
It’s not that four is the limit, but four people are enough to handle the docking with forty sub-machines.
After Finn understood the ins and outs of this, he immediately arranged for an empty vehicle to come over, put the main station and receiving personnel on it, and turned it into a radio receiving vehicle.
Su Mo couldn't help but call him an expert after seeing it.
Afterwards, Finn distributed all the wireless radios to the team leaders of each unit, and he also kept one for himself.
After dealing with these, the team set off again.
...To be continued.....Mountain.
Chapter 69: Investigation and Exchange, Udaios, Crusade? No! It's a Massacre!
Along the way, the information transmission brought by radio came into play.
During this march, whether it was route exploration or personnel deployment, the efficiency was so high that it was a bit scary.
It used to take one or two hours to pass one floor, but now it doesn’t even take half an hour.
At each new level, several exploration teams were sent out. Ten minutes later, before anyone came back, the large force behind them would start to move out and meet up with the teams directly at the entrance to the next level.
Many of the accompanying personnel who did not know the truth were shocked.
People were speculating whether Loki's family had any new cards up their sleeves.
Thanks to such efficiency, the expeditionary force reached the 27th floor in the evening within just one afternoon.
At the same time, the floor master's two-headed dragon was also killed by Finn and Riveria's first echelon.
Su Mo only found out about it afterwards. He felt a little regretful that he missed it, but he didn't say anything.
After all, it is the main resource that Loki's family harvests on their expedition, so it is not appropriate to intervene and snatch it.
From here on, the next level is the lower area, where the average monster level is one level higher than the ones above.
After a day's march, the army was almost exhausted, so Finn decided to set up camp and rest.
The location was chosen inside the passage.
Because monsters will not spawn in the passage, you only need to defend the front and back entrances and exits. It is the best resting spot in the dungeon besides the safe zone.
Of course, this operation is only suitable for large-scale troops.
After all, if there are too few people, they will not be able to defend themselves once they encounter a large number of monsters.
Su Mo watched all of this silently and recorded it in his notebook, also attaching his own opinions and views.
He did not participate in any battle today, he was mainly observing these details and recording them.
Firstly, the monsters he could encounter now were too weak and not worth his effort.
Secondly, it is learning experience.
From the marching arrangements and combat system of Loki's family "Four Seven Seven", to the monster information that will be encountered on each level, and even the special terrain that may appear.
He recorded all of these so that he could use them as a reference for future members of Hestia's family.
It's just that his behavior is somewhat out of tune with the people around him.
It feels like he is not here for an expedition, but more like a field survey.
But no one else said anything about it.
Those who are not from Loki's family have nothing to do with it and are too lazy to care.
The people of Loki's family were informed by the higher-ups that Su Mo had cooperated with them, so they did not intervene and just reported the situation to Finn in silence.
After hearing this, Finn also came over to take a look.
Not that I mind Su Mo's blatant inspection.
Since he had agreed to the participation of Su Mo and others, he had already prepared himself for the possibility that some things would be learned.
He came here mainly to see what Su Mo had to say about this expedition team.
At the same time, he also wanted Su Mo to point out any shortcomings in the use of radio.
In short, it is about learning from each other and friendly communication.
In response to his questions, Su Mo also gave some advice.
For example, radio has not yet been fully integrated into the combat system.
He asked Finn to try to make some arrangements for the archery and magic teams at the back.
At that time, we can cooperate with the scouts sent out to develop a low-profile version of long-range firepower for beyond-visual-range precision strikes.
In this way, the advantage of long-range firepower can be further utilized while reducing the pressure on melee troops that are in direct contact with monsters.
When Finn heard the plan, his eyes lit up.
While praising Su Mo repeatedly, he also generously answered many of Su Mo's questions and added a lot of details to Su Mo's notes.
Finn even told us what we would encounter on the floors below.
After an "academic exchange", both parties were very satisfied and gained a lot.
……
After finishing today's notes, Su Mo returned to his assigned tent and prepared to rest.
However, what surprised him a little was that Kanae and the other four girls were also here.
"Isn't this my tent? Why are you here too?"
“This is our tent.”
"..."
Both sides were speechless for a moment.
Is there something wrong with the logistics of the Loki clan? They were all assigned to one tent.
"Forget it, let's just rest like this, we are all family anyway."
Things have come to this point, and Su Mo has nothing to say, since he is not at a disadvantage anyway.
Kanae and the other three girls had no objections and did not treat Su Mo as an outsider.
After the five of them agreed on the location, they prepared to rest.
During this time, Kanae and Busujima Saeko also reported on what happened today.
They did not participate in the battle that day, and mainly taught the receivers arranged by Loki's clan how to operate the radio.
The people Finn arranged were very good, calm and smart, and they got the hang of it quickly.
So Kanae applied to Su Mo to participate in the battle and kill monsters to level up starting tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll talk to Finn tomorrow and arrange for you to be sent to the front line."
Su Mo naturally agreed to this.
After all, he asked Kanae and the others to come along not just for the radio matter.
The main purpose is to give them experience and to get familiar with Loki's family first. They will then often go on expeditions with them.
Then, the five of them went to sleep.
But it doesn't mean sleeping together.
The main reason is that the tent arranged for them by Loki's family is very large, enough to sleep ten people.
So the actual situation is that Kanae and the other four girls are on one side, and Su Mo is alone on the other side.
Su Mo also felt that this was just right. If they were together, he would feel awkward.
It’s not that he didn’t have that kind of feeling towards Kanae and the others.
The main thing is that the current environment is really not suitable.
There are other people's tents within a few meters around. Even if he could set up a barrier to isolate himself from the outside world, Su Mo didn't plan to mess around in such a place.
If we have to do it, we have to go back to the dimensional city and do it.
……
Silent all night.
The next morning, the camp became noisy with various calls. People woke up one after another and began to make preparations in full swing.
After a quick wash and breakfast, the team gathered again.
Everyone was on high alert and ready for battle.
Because the next journey is the highlight of the expedition.
The journey and battles ahead are just warm-ups at most. From now on, the real challenge begins.
However, only those with relatively low abilities can challenge the exam.
For the powerful first echelon, or even the second echelon, there is actually not much difference.
However, the number of monsters began to increase.
The troops' marching speed was hindered, but fortunately, with the help of strong men, they did not slow down too much.
The main thing is that we need to be more vigilant.
As the strength of monsters increases, the threat posed by monsters that suddenly spawn from all sides of the army begins to grow.
It took another day for the team to reach the entrance to the 37th floor.
Because the floor masters of the thirty-seven floors below had already been refreshed, and after a day of fighting, everyone in the army was tired, so Finn ordered a rest again.
This rest is no longer as peaceful as yesterday.
