Chapter 101: Battle in the Forest of the World Tree 5
After considering, I still used 《Summon Invisible Scout》.
The transparent familiar appeared before me….. probably.
I can’t see it.
So there is no other choice, I had to use Rank 3 Support Magic 《See Invisibility》.
This magic can only be used on myself and the effect is quite lasting. For the current me, the effect of being able to see invisible beings will last for at least 2.5h.
After being able to see invisible beings, a hunchback humanoid that is completely black in colour appeared before.
Wrong, I am just seeing the Invisible Scout who was originally before me.
Even after using 《See Invisibility》, the shape of the Invisible Scout remains murky, and I can’t see his expression clearly. Or perhaps, he was a creature like this since the very beginning.
「Go patrol and see if there is any enemy in the surroundings of this village.」
「Yes, Master.」
The Invisible Scout used a hoarse female voice to reply and ran off.
She disappeared before me in an incredible speed. Hmm—— so it is a female familiar. Forget it, actually whether it is a male or female, there is no difference. Just for scouting, I have to use 64MP…… is it really worth it?
This time, it is because we are completely unsure of where the enemies are at, that’s why I used it.
Perhaps we should borrow someone for scouting from the People of Light. Because I felt that socialising is troublesome so I have ran out as though we are escaping but I didn’t expect it to come back and bite me in this way.
We returned to the tree hole that the Globster was in. The girls who were rescued from the lump of flesh are completely naked and leaning by the wall powerlessly. I turned my sight away immediately.
I can no longer see the figure of the Globster in the hole, it is probably defeated by Arisu and the others.
I remembered that it will drop 1 yellow gem?
It is worth 100 tokens which is quite lucrative.
But the Globster does not have any experience. Ah, it didn’t have much combat power too, perhaps it is due to that. Anyway there is too much mystery with it.
「The 8 people who were absorbed into the Globster, were all safely rescued.」
Arisu reported that to me.
「Lucia-san said that it is because they were rescued from the Globster shortly after they were absorbed,」
「That’s really…… good. Yeah, so it is like this, we rescued the people in the mountain on the morning of the 3rd day.」
「Yes. If it is within half a day, then nothing too crazy will happen. For the conserving the power to transfer, they need at least 1 day to keep absorbing live sacrifices. If it wanted to use more energy, then it seemed that it will take longer.」
I see so the enemy can’t summon the Globster recklessly huh?
As they need over a day, this means they will be exposing their weakness.
When we defeated the Globster, only 2 days have passed, that should be the important time that it needed.
「But the Globster that was summoned out in the city that was flooded, it had called out Mekishu Grand immediately」
「Perhaps what they called out is one that had fully absorbed the sacrifices that are nearby. We have also suffered such surprise attacks before, but during those times, the Globster will exhaust all its energy.」
I see, as long as the enemy have made ample preparations, such things can happen too…...
This time, the enemy had completely thought that it will win, and the monsters did not expect that we will conduct a surprise attack.
This allowed us to take advantage of the enemy’s carelessness. Or perhaps this is natural, after all just how many People of Light soldiers will it take to defeat the Arachne that are watching this area? From the movements of the army, they will be noticed by the Arachne main army.
The possibility of hiding a hundred man army and making a surprise attack here…...
There…… shouldn’t be any.
We are a small party with overwhelming power, that is why we could take them by surprise. Currently the monsters did not expect the existence of such a party like us, then…… just what should we do next?
「Have the main troop of the People of Light made contact with the main force of the enemy?」
I questioned Lucia.
The silver-hair girl with red eyes, supported her chin with her hand and replied after considering for abit:「from the looks just now, if they don’t cross arms at least once, the soldiers will be probably revolted in anger.」
「In other words, although the commander does not want to fight, but he will still have a bout with the monsters?」
「He wanted to preserve as much fighting power as possible, for the sake of tomorrow’s battle.」
The soldiers are really hot-blooded.
Just now we were targeted by those people, although I felt that it was troublesome…… but their hometown was invaded, so it is natural for them to get angry…… that’s right, we should not mistake our enemies.
The gaze that the People of Light soldiers had towards us, were abit cold. But that is because they strongly wish to protect their hometown, that’s why they are unrestrained.
They still have some value, and there is only one thing that we should do.
I raised my head.
「We will turn back now, and assault the Arachne main troop that the People of Light is engaging with now. Then together with the People of Light, we will do a pincer attack and crush the enemy.」
After I decided our direction, I looked around.
Arisu and Tamaki who trusted in me unconditionally, nodded.
After slightly thinking about it, Mia tilted her head and said:「Mmm, we still have to look at the number of enemies?」
「Lucia, do you know how many Arachne are there?」
「From the news that we have gotten from the people that we rescued from the Globster, there are at most 500.」
500, that is the biggest number that Rin had estimated before. If they are all small fries, then it will be fine, but once we consider that among them, there are the Mages that we had just fought. And the Champion and Legend that Lucia had heard from the rumours, then it will be rash to rush in with just us.
From another point of view, we could just defeat the Mage, Champion and Legend that the People of Light cannot handle. By doing so, then there will be meaning to calling out the Invisible Scout.
First we will let the Invisible Scout to scout the enemy forces, then find out the position of the leader when the Arachne group is fighting against the People of Light.
We will take out the leader, then leave in the greatest speed and repeat the same movement.
The basic direction is like that, so with that, I briefly explained to everyone about my views.
