BXBX NOVEL Chapter 70 Record
Isaac withstood the enemy attacks for two days in the area around the dungeon. During that time, the hunters were constantly dispatched to suppress the dungeon break.
A total of 6000 hunters were sent from China. None of them were from the major guilds, so they didn\'t do anything to defend themselves. Russia sent 6000 hunters, a combination of 3000 HFD troops and 3000 hunters from government-affiliated guilds. Meanwhile, North Korea as a whole was only able to send 1000 hunters.
South Korea had offered to help North Korea. Unfortunately, Kim Zhong-Euh, the current President of North Korea, refused their help. As a result, 4000 monsters managed to break through the defenses and invaded the human settlements. At least two port cities, Sonbong and Rason, had been taken over by the monsters.
This selfish decision resulted in the loss of 10,000 lives. Three-quarters of it were the civilians.
On the 4th day, the resistance given by humans was getting slack. The number of hunters fighting in the dungeon break was getting less and less. This made Isaac\'s patience run out.
Isaac decided to make a move.
He then ordered Asterius to invade Chinese territory. The minotaur ancestor and his 15,000 warriors broke through the defenses at the border and marched to the north until they reached Hunchun City.
Meanwhile, Isaac and his less than 5,000 troops marched the Northeast, circling Golden Horn Bay to attack Russia\'s largest port city, Vladistovok.
He attacked the human city only to stimulate the enemy, so that they would increase the number of hunters fighting in the dungeon break. During the raid, Isaac controlled his troops so as not to inflict massive damage. He didn\'t want his farming fields to be destroyed.
Entering the 8th day, the invasion of Asterius\'s troops in Hunchun City, forced the Chinese to muster their full strength. 10,000 hunters were dispatched to exterminate the monsters. Five of the ten major guilds were involved in that battle.
These included Nine Sky, Phoenix Armada, Fight Club, Blue Pegasus, and Blood Oath. Despite being outnumbered, they were able to push back the monster army.
Asterius lost three-quarters of his soldiers in one day. Isaac ordered Asterius to retreat on the 9th day.
On the positive side, Nine Sky\'s reputation shone again after successfully showing their fangs during the battle in Hunchun.
Wang Mei proved that the Six Star title was still worthy of her bearing.
Besides, there was one member of Nine Sky who caught the public\'s attention after being caught on camera by a journalist who was filming the dungeon break in Hunchun.
That person was Aditya Khumar. The Indian immigrant man became a hot topic on the internet after his video of treating thousands of injured civilians alone. Thanks to his actions, netizens called him the Dark Physician.
On the other hand, Isaac who was in Vladistovok was attacked by 10,000 hunters who were a combination of guilds in Russia. One of them was the number one guild there—Mirage.
The battlefield factor and being outnumbered by troops made Isaac and his troops the subject of pursuit. Besides, the Russian hunter troops also already know the weakness of the monsters.
Even so, Isaac managed to kill 4000 hunters, but he had to lose 1000 of his mosnters as the cost.
Entering the 10th day, Isaac withdrew all his troops and returned to the dungeon.
In this attack, a total of 40,239 people died, and 19,232 of them were civilians.
Of course, this event caused an uproar in the world. The news mentioned that the dungeon break happened on the border of North Korea, China, and Russia; it was the second worst event in history since the first dungeon break occurred.

"Since the terrible incident happened last week, Hunchun is still recovering. The government testified that the Hunter Association—"
Beep.
The newscaster\'s face disappeared after the television was turned off.
Xiong Li put the television remote on the table with a long sigh. His wrinkled face showed an expression of exhaustion.
"Am I too old for something like this? Should I retire?"
The old man leaned back while closing his eyes.
After the dungeon break incident that destroyed half of Hunchun City, the media in China reported that this error occurred due to the Hunter Association\'s delay in response.
Though this was not entirely true. The association had already dispatched affiliated guilds, but they were defeated easily. The requests for help were also sent to the major guilds, but no one was willing to come. They gave all sorts of reasons for refusing requests from the Hunter Association. After the situation became more chaotic, then the major guilds intervened.
The reason they came late was because they wanted to gain popularity from this incident. They wanted to be saviors, like superheroes.
At the same time, the government preferred to wash their hands. They controlled the media, putting all the blame on the Hunter Association.
As a result, Xiong Li received various criticisms and insults.
"I\'ve been trying to save as many lives as possible, but they\'re playing with it instead," Xiong Li muttered.
Knock! Knock!
A knock on the door rang out, snapping Xiong Li who was deep in thought.
"Come in."
A handsome man appeared in a neat white suit. His hair was as black as coffee on the back. He then gave a polite greeting to the Chairman of the Hunter Association.
Xiong Li glanced at the figure of the visiting guest. After recognizing who the guest was, he quickly adjusted his seat and put on a smiling face.
"Hohoho, Ling Tian! What does China\'s Number One Guild Master want here? Please, sit down."
Xiong Li greeted him cheerfully, but his last sentence sounded cold. The man called Ling Tian replied with a smile.
"I came here to discuss an important matter with the chairman."
"Important? What about the Golden Dragon guild being unable to attend the Hunchun incident?" Xiong Li smiled sarcastically.
p
Xiong Li nodded. He thought Ling Tian\'s words were just bullshit. The Golden Dragon Guild was filled with the A rank hunters, enough to finish off the monsters from dungeon break.
The old man snorted.
"Then, just get on with the business. What thing do you want to talk about, Master Tian? Sorry, I can\'t provide snacks or tea. I have a lot of work to do."
"It\'s okay, Chairman. I just wanted to say something, and I will leave after that."
The young man took out a brown envelope from his pocket, then handed it to the Chairman of the Hunter Association. He opened the envelope. There were some photographs showing blurry portraits. At first glance, there were some people wearing eccentric clothes.
Xiong Li\'s old eyes traced the photo.
"Who are they?"
Ling Tian shook his head. "To be precise, \'what\'."
Xiong Li narrowed his eyes, still not understanding.
"These are photos taken inside the dungeon." Ling Tian pointed at the photos that were lined up on the table one by one. "Sao Paulo, New York, Tokyo, Jakarta… I got these photos from my connections in the US."
Xiong Li\'s two eyeballs opened wide. "You mean… they are monsters?"
"No."
"The Alpha?"
Ling Tian shook his head.
The old man frowned. There were only two creatures to be found in the dungeon. Monsters and humans.
Xiong Li became curious.
"At first I thought it was Alpha too, but Alpha won\'t move floors. They are more likely to stay in one area, except during the dungeon breaks. They are more like a head guard."
"You mean, there are creatures that are superior to Alpha?"
Ling Tian nodded. "Right. There is a supreme entity in the dungeon. Alpha and all the monsters in it are subject to this entity. The US government still doesn\'t have an official title for these entities, but the people who managed to capture their photos call them as Dungeon Masters."
Xiong Li was at a loss for words. He tried to digest the information he had received. If their existences were widely circulated in the public, it would cause a tremendous uproar.
It was no longer a disaster, but a war.
Then, he remembered, during the dungeon break, according to the reports of the guilds involved that the monster attack on Hunchun was led by the minotaur. In North Korea, there were no signs of monsters showing dominance or giving orders, possibly no one leading the monsters, as if they were just following their instinct. Things like this had happened before, but it was very rare.
Meanwhile, according to information from Russia, the monsters were led by a masked figure and had black flames haired.
