Chapter 485: Causing a Disturbance to Buy Time
“Sir, we should return and report the situation to His Highness.” One of his subordinates suggested with a hint of urgency.
Their mission was only to locate the enemies so there was no need for them to stay.
Caecus didn’t respond immediately.
I can sense him… this is the aura of a Venerable!
“Leave and immediately send word to His Highness about the situation.” He instructed in a calm voice.
“What about you, sir?”
Without turning his head, Caecus urged them. “Just go.”
After some hesitation, his subordinates glanced at each other and left with haste.
They didn’t know what Caecus was planning, but the most important thing now was to inform Alaric about the enemy’s location.
As soon as his subordinates left, Caecus’s figure vanished from where he was hidden. Then like a ghost, he reappeared a hundred meters away.
I need to get some information about the enemy Venerable so we will know how to deal with them.
Thinking about this, he quietly slipped into the grassland, camouflaging himself within the greenery.
…
I will destroy them all! I will spare no one!
Remondin was seething with rage and everyone could feel it.
No one dared to get close to him, afraid that they would incur his wrath.
When he learned that three of their cities had fallen into the hands of the Astanian troops, he quickly gathered his army to recapture the conquered cities.
Their first target was Mount Tirad.
There were Astanian troops stationed at the mountain, but Remondin’s army quickly annihilated them.
The second target was Atarkan. There was quite some resistance when they fought the stationed enemy troops, but Remondin suddenly joined the fight and ended the battle in a bloodbath.
After recapturing Atarkan, he didn’t even bother to get some rest. He led his troops to the third target, Midgard.
“My lord, we are only a few miles from Midgard. Do you want me to send our vanguard units to check the route?” A voice interrupted his thoughts.
Remondin nodded with a frown. “If you see those Astanian soldiers, kill them immediately!”
“Yes, my lord!”
At this moment, Remondin suddenly narrowed his eyes.
What was that?
He felt as if he was being watched, but no matter where he looked, he didn’t find anything unusual.
Did I make a mistake?
No! An enemy is nearby! And it is someone skilled in camouflage!
If he were alone here, he would have already used his Gravity Collapse, but he couldn’t activate his skill with his subordinates around.
With a stern look, he beckoned to his deputy, an old warrior with sunken eyes.
“What is your command, my lord?” The old warrior saluted.
“Rado, send ten teams to scout the area. If you discover anything unusual, report to me immediately!” He instructed.
“I obey your commands!” The old warrior named Rado nodded, turned around, and left to complete the task.
…
He noticed my gaze, but he failed to detect my location.
Caecus saw Remondin sending his troops to scout the forest and the grassland.
Should I kill him here?
No… not yet. I need more information.
The thought of killing the enemy Venerable crossed his mind, but he quickly restrained himself.
He decided to quietly observe his prey.
There are people approaching me.
He turned his head and ’saw’ a five-man team searching near his hiding spot.
Seeing this, he quietly took out five needles from his wrist guy and threw them at the approaching team.
Suu! Suu!
In the next moment, the five-man team collapsed, their foreheads bleeding profusely.
As for Caecus, he had already left to change his hiding spot.
…
This smell…
A familiar scent assaulted Remondin’s nostrils.
Blood!
With a dark look, he rushed towards the direction of the scent and discovered something alarming.
Lying on the grass were five men whose faces were drenched in blood.
Furrowing his eyebrows, he crouched and inspected the wounds on their foreheads.
He then looked around to see if there was something he could find, but except for the corpses, there was nothing to be seen.
They were all killed at the same time. They weren’t even able to sense the culprit and died in an instant.
Whoever killed them is a highly skilled assassin!
Knowing that an assassin was lurking nearby, he sent more troops to scour the area.
His soldiers thoroughly searched the forest, but they weren’t able to find anything.
“My lord! Another scouting team was killed!” An anxious voice drifted into Remondin’s ears.
“What?!” Remondin was infuriated. He kept his senses active the entire time, but he wasn’t even able to detect the enemy.
With a grim look, he went to the location where the second scouting team was killed.
When he arrived, he discovered that they also died in the same way.
This is clearly done by one person!
Is it a Mythical Knight?
He frowned.
Just when he was about to tell his subordinates to bury the dead, he heard another report.
“My lord, two more scouting teams were killed! Lord Rado also died!”
This time, he felt a trace of fear.
Rado was no ordinary warrior. He was a peak Transcendent Knight, the strongest warrior under his command.
For such a strong man to die without even emitting a sound, it left everyone scared.
They even began to suspect that the enemy had already disguised himself as one of them.
Everyone was on guard with each other and the panic spread to the rest of the troops.
“Take off your helmet!”
“Show me your face!”
“Why are you looking at me like that you bastard?!”
The warriors were in disarray which greatly affected their formation.
…
Meanwhile, the culprit behind this attack was now hidden atop a tree, observing the commotion with indifferent eyes.
I will kill a few more people and cause disturbances.
This should buy us enough time to make some preparations.
Thinking about this, he jumped off the tree and blended into the greenery.
…
Remondin’s face darkened when he saw his troops in chaos.
What a sly bastard!
