Strongest Hammer God novel Chapter 277

Team Sandstorm took on one difficult mission after the other.

They rarely accepted any mission that had enemies below the Late Second Realm.

The good thing about these difficult missions was that they were not as highly sought after as the easier ones.

Missions dealing with Initial and Early Second Realm enemies were the most sought-after.

The main reason for that was the regular addition of newbies.

Every three months, a new batch of newbies joined, and they all could only accept these missions.

Missions dealing with Mid Second Realm enemies were also relatively sought after due to the more advanced newbies.

However, Late Second Realm missions were rarely immediately taken.

The reason was simple.

People died.

This was a dangerous job, and of all the newbies, fewer than 25% reached the Mid Second Realm.

Then, there were also cases where more advanced Fighters left the Stark Brotherhood to join a Four-Weapons Guild.

Luckily, when that happened, the other Guild had to buy them out, handing the Stark Brotherhood at least one Ether Gem.

Of course, some Fighters also decided to join the army.

When that happened, the Stark Brotherhood was just shit out of luck.

According to the law, helping the kingdom was the highest priority. Because of that, stopping anyone from joining the army via any means was illegal.

Getting into the army was easy.

However, getting a good position in the army was difficult.

The Fighters who left the Stark Brotherhood for the army were veterans who immediately wanted to join a more elite squad or directly went to officer school.

These people were valuable, which was why they were rarely sent into extreme danger.

The group of soldiers Kyle had seen walking past him while going to Forthing's Hold had been one of these elite troops.

They were the backbone of the Skysand Kingdom.

Despite their relatively low Realm, team Sandstorm was already playing in the big leagues.

Teams who could take down a target in the Late Second Realm were rare.

In fact, there were only five of them, including the Ace Team.

Speaking of the Ace Team, they got another person in the Initial Third Realm now, which meant they had three in total.

With such a constellation, they could already try their hands on enemies in the Early Third Realm.

The second-best team, the Alpha Team, was comprised of the best Fighters outside the Ace Team.

Their entire team was filled with Peak Fighters, and they had already successfully hunted an Initial Monster.

The other three teams couldn't do that.

The third and fourth-best teams had some Peak Fighters but mostly Late Fighters.

They focused on enemies in the Peak Second Realm.

Then, there were three teams that could take on enemies in the Late Second Realm, and team Sandstorm was at the front due to just how many missions they completed.

At this moment, Kyle was talking with Wyveria in the cafeteria. She was still busy making the coach's life a living hell.

"We got a promotion!" Noah suddenly shouted as he walked into the cafeteria.

"Oh?" Kyle uttered as he looked over.

"Noah, what's it about?" Kyle shouted.

"Clearing a new mine," Noah said. "We lost a team of Initial and Early Fighters from one of our outposts."

'Yikes, a team wipe,' Kyle thought.

"Do we have any information?" Kyle asked.

"The mine was in constant use over the past decades," Noah said as he walked over to Kyle and Wyveria. "It was producing a good amount of Deepstone and is owned by the Millards."

"Deepstone?" Wyveria asked with furrowed brows. "That's a Rank C material. If there are Ore Fiends, they shouldn't be very powerful. A team of Initial Fighters should be able to deal with this."

"Is there anything else in there?"
