V55C6P2 – The Great Escape
They were the top two of the many broadcasting channels out there in Royal Road.
KMC media owned the most popular programs with high view rates.
Even foreign broadcasting channels had overwhelming profits with both indirect and direct exports of these programs.
CTS media was relentless with its aggressive operation based on the capital strength of its parent company.
Revolving around famous hosts, the companies didn’t limit their spendings when it came to casting guests and production costs.
Their primary interest was one man.
“We get Weed on screen, and that’s game. Who cares if the producer or the chief director changes? More of Weed’s appearance means higher views for that program.”
The broadcasting channels were full of joy each time Weed went on an adventure.
Whether it was combat or sculpting he was guaranteed to bring views.
“We don’t need to worry about foreign exports for the program. Just tell them that we have Weed.”
“But, we don’t have an exclusive contract with him.”
“But it is true that we have produced lots of programs about Weed.”
Under the name of Weed, foreign exports worked out without trouble.
The broadcasting channels were getting a splendid share from it all, but they were not always the ones out ahead.
Birthdays and holidays, even insignificant anniversaries. They had to find an excuse to bury him with gifts.
“How many times did we send out gifts to Weed-nim this year?”
“Send more! I’m hearing rumors that KMC media has already sent ten gifts.”
“There’s nothing right now to use as an excuse.”
“There’s a dog in that house. If it gives birth, just send something.”
“It’s fine. As blunt as it may seem, it’s all about the receiver being happy.”
The broadcasting channel went on a big promotion for the dragon lair robbery.
“Will it actually work? If they get wiped out immediately, that’s the end of our views.”
“But, it is Weed after all.”
It was a half-hearted live broadcast.
“They got discovered by the draconic warriors!”
“There is going to be combat. They’re at it for real.”
The siege inside the lair led to an increase of viewers by the minute.
After that, they seemed to be well on their way to escape but the massive monster chase from the dragon’s lair seemed to douse their hopes.
Furthermore, the trail of fire by the dwarves set ablaze the Ulta and Sygorn Mountain Pass.
The hosts’ veins bulged..
– As you see on the screen, the forest fire is approaching Weed. It seems to be no less than 500 meters away.
– It’s going to reach them at any moment, judging by the speed of the spread.
– I have never been up close to such a forest fire. I’m certain they’re already feeling the heat on their skin. A very flushing heatwave.
– This is a critical situation.
The producers watched in delight as the fire spread; the number of viewers seened to rise with every inch the fire crept closer to Weed.
The broadcasting personnel yelled in delight.
The world was cruel with rarely any gullible people.
“Alright. Let us continue.”
Weed sent Nide first, then pushed the wagon with four others.
He had to wait for the fire and hence there was no need to hurry like before.
The raging forest fire crawled closer and swallowed them.
“It is a massive forest fire.”
“It’s so horrible. The entire Ulta Mountain Pass is going to turn into a pile of ashes. I have never seen such a frightening scene.”
The dwarves that fled north watched the fire over the mountain and were frightened.
“Luckily the fire won’t be coming toward us.”
“Still, let’s keep moving. There is no time to rest.”
The forest fire was forcing these dwarves to flee unreservedly.
“There are monsters crossing our route. Oh! The transport team over there…”
The transport teams that went first were surrounded by monsters in combat.
The teams were comprised of dwarven warriors.
Mapan Council left beforehand, and the wagons driven by dwarven warriors that were the last to retreat from the lair were caught in the middle of monsters.
“There is no hope there when monsters are continuing to pool in.”
The dwarves regrettably turned their heads away and diverted around the monsters.
They had to move according to plan. In the chance of being detected, they agreed on bearing with the situation on their own. However, unpredictable situations always come about. Reinforcement arrived for the dwarves struggling in the intense battle against the monsters.
“They would have been near us… But Oberon-nim was also leading a transport team.”
“I guess he sent away the transport team already and came by himself.”
Oberon wielded a hammer and axe simultaneously and valiantly fought against the monsters.
It seemed like the effects from the Brazier of Sacrifice remained, as he pushed back the monsters aggressively.
He miraculously rescued two transport teams that were isolated!
In return, he had to be under the concentrated attack from hundreds of monsters.
The dwarves that were watching from afar shook their heads.
“Obern-nim is such an amazing individual… So brilliant, but…”

“Yeah, there is just something that he lacks. For him to step up until the very end even after all that back in the dragon’s lair.”
“By Weed-nim’s own expression, we are all just trying to make a living.”
“We should follow Weed-nim. Life just turns out better when you are beside someone like him.”
