They already knew of Lucas, so of course the association branch in Dietikon was very happy when they heard that he would come to help them.
Although they didn't know that he only came to farm experience points.
***
Lucas was inside his new expensive Dentley car which was being driven by his own personal driver.
He was reading all the information about the gates in Dietikon from his phone.
There was one C-rank gate and 7 D-rank gates. The lower ones didn't interest him.
Ghost was busy scouting all the cities and William was busy creating potions, so this was the first time he would handle a C-rank gate without a C-rank avatar.
'It's the first time I will fight the orc chief myself, but I'm not worried since my stats are a lot higher now.'
The orc chiefs stats were mostly under 90 and Lucas already had three stats that were 100.
He also had higher ranked skills.
Krasbert and Grishna were also strong enough to handle a few orcs by themselves.
Lucas was just a little worried about Elara.
She was still E-rank and had inferior stats to the orcs.
***
Lucas arrived at Dietikon and was welcomed by the association branch head there himself.
He accompanied him to the orc gate and decided to wait outside.
It was clear to Lucas that the middle aged man was nervous and he could tell that he wasn't a very strong awakened.
He probably got his position because he was already a high ranked government official.
After some small talk with him Lucas finally entered.
'Talking with people like him is really annoying. He isn't a bad person, but he's just unbearable to listen to.'
Once Lucas was inside the forest in the gate, he summoned Krasbert, Grishna and Elara.
Lucas ordered Grishna and Krasbert to move on their own and hunt down the orcs outside of the village.
Lucas made sure that Elara was always by his side.
They also hunted down some orcs and once everyone was done, they met up near the village.
Lucas planned a more straightforward approach this time.
Him and his avatars barged into their village from the front and started slaughtering every orc in sight.
Lucas was cutting down a few orcs with a single swing of his sword and burning multiple orcs with fireballs.
After fighting nearly a hundred C-rank orcs for 30 minutes, they were all dead on the ground in pools of blood.
Lucas also beheaded the orc chief with a single swing of his sword, containing a lot of mana.
He only got 5 attribute points for killing him though.
Because Lucas killed so many orcs, he finally leveled up to level 18.
Other than him, only Elara leveled up to level 13. She only killed a few orcs, but she didn't need much exp to level up.
After Lucas and his avatars collected as many materials as possible, he destroyed the gate core.
You have cleared the C-rank Orc Village Gate.
You have received 20 attribute points.
'I expected that it would be less. 20 attribute points still isn't bad for a reward.'
When Lucas appeared where the gate used to be, the association branch head of Dietikon and it's members were all shocked.
It had only been around an hour since they entered.
After getting many thanks and compliments from the middle aged branch head, as well as promises of monetary rewards, Lucas left for the D-rank gates.
Lucas had already called his logistics department to come to Dietikon to collect all monster corpses since he couldn't store all of them in his inventory.
He also decided not to split up from his avatars because they couldn't collect corpses since they didn't have an inventory.
Because of those reasons it took a few hours to clear all 7 D-rank gates.
Lucas didn't get any rewards from D-rank gates anymore, but the experience points were enough of a reward for him.
Thanks to all those experience points, Krasbert reached level 15.
Lucas now had 47 avatar points.
'Only 3 left to go!'
'Albert will probably reach level 14 in a couple days with how many weapons he's creating, but that will only give me 2 avatar points.'
'Ghost is also somewhere hunting down monsters outside of gates and gaining exp. But he is only halfway to level 17.'
'Ghost will return tomorrow morning anyway, so once I get his reports on all cities, I will decide where to go next to hunt monsters and get exp.'
Lucas was on his way back to Zurich with his logistics team.
He was sent a few million swiss francs to his bank account from the association thanks to his help.
He also told them that he would soon build a branch of the Helios guild in Dietikon.
It was already late in the night, so once Lucas arrived at home, he washed up and went to bed.
***
The next morning.
Lucas woke up feeling very refreshed.
'I've been working very hard since the awakening.'
'To think this all began only like 10 days ago. It feels like months already went by.'
Lucas could sense that Ghost was back and in the living room downstairs.
'Excellent.'
He walked down and greeted the dark elf that was in his usual black clothes and mask.
Ghost got on his knees and spoke.
"I greet my master!"
Lucas smiled and replied.
"It's good to have you back, Ghost."
"Let's hear the report."
"Yes master."
Ghost stood up and started speaking.
"I won't include Affoltern and Dietikon, since you already handled them."
"First are Horgen which is right below Zurich and Andelfingen which is far above us on the map."
"They are the only two cities without a C-rank gate. Thanks to that, Horgen managed to suppress most gates."
"But Andelfingen was practically decimated. Even though they have large land, they have a very low population. The land there is now filled with monsters."
"Most of them are either roaming there or heading north since there are mostly cities with just land without many people like Andelfingen."
"They are being suppressed in the south border of Andelfingen though, by Winterthur and Bülach."
