Chapter 510: Finding Where the Cult Hides Their Monsters

It’s bad. Just as we all thought the battle today is over, right before the sun is setting, Elsie’s group who is tracing the enemy headquarter informed me of more enemies coming this way. But the fact that they are coming from the same direction as the last wave, I think the chance of the current enemy headquarter is in the same direction is high. But we still can’t be sure.

Now that more enemies incoming, I transported Elsie and the scouts back to the fake village where we are resting. After the previous fight, we returned to the fake village so we can get some rest. And not just that. It’s so we can prepare a trap and ambush the enemy in this situation, where the enemy doesn’t have any artificial master level mages with them.

This wave doesn’t have anyone noticing Elsie’s glance. So, at most, they are just expert level mages. And if we are prepared to ambush them and set a trap, we can defeat them all with the least amount of effort.

Actually, we used a lot of effort in preparing the traps. And after we prepared a lot of them, we get a good rest for a while. Still, once the enemy is coming, we don’t need to try too hard to defeat them. And I also don’t need to fight or bait the artificial master level mage away from here.

The best part is that both Albert’s and old man Henry’s combined army has prepared thoroughly about the trap. I think it was after the first day that leaders of both armies got together and talk about the plan. And they said to me right after we returned to the fake village that they will fight the next incoming enemies on their own if there are no artificial master level mages coming. And I agree.

I told the vampires and werewolves to stay a bit distance from the fake village. As for the angels, I told them to hide their wings and be the healers in case we need them.

Now, what should I do? Leaving the rest to the armies today and look around to where the enemy is coming from? Continuing our search for the enemy headquarter? Or stay here and help the army?

.....

“Roy, you can just go with Shelia and Graham. I will stay here and help the army in emergency,” Arin said.

I’d like to believe what she said, but after looking at them drooling at the prisoners, I don’t know if some of them want to have a bite on the new enemies. Or worse, they will aim their fangs on our own.

“...I’ll just leave with Shelia. Graham, you stay here with the angels. No matter how prepared our armies are, some of them might still be wounded since the enemy is stronger. the angels might not have enough mana to heal everyone. But you have the most mana, so you should be able to heal the wounded, and fight at the same time with your clone in case of emergency. I’ll go with Shelia since she has better tracking skill than you,” I said.

“Okay. That means if we are doing well, I won’t have to do anything, right? That’s good. I don’t want to keep fighting without resting,” Graham said.

“This is war. You will keep being tense until the war is over whether you like it or not. And like I said in the past, if we can kill whoever started all this, even if you’re my contracted monster, I will have no more need to summon you and get you participate in things like this ever again. Let’s hope that we can kill the mastermind as soon as possible,” I said to Graham.

He’s the one who lacked morale the most. But if I said that he can be free after all this, he might be a little bit more motivated. I saw him before when he fought a mohawk that he’s still holding back and refuse to go all out. I know that because back when I first met him and ended up fighting with him in order to improve my spear technique, he was much better than when he fought the mohawk.

If only I could get him to fight the enemy like when he fought me, with the help of his clone, he should be able to kill a mohawk faster than anyone. He’s such a painful monster to have. But a powerful one, so I can only hope he will work better after this.

I can see Graham’s eyes changed. It feels as if there’s a fire within. I guess baiting him with freedom is the right answer. Well, it’s because of this situation. If it’s not during a war, he would either ignore what I say, or even fight back.

As a summoner, I hope there’s a way to cancel a contract with a monster. This way, I can truly promise Graham that I will free him. But unfortunately, there’s no such thing. The contract is until either one of us died.

Many summoners who doesn’t like their contracted monster would kill their own monster so they make contract with another person. It’s common to happen until the summoner get a powerful monster. In fact, in my past life, I tried to do it as well. But I was too weak and Blobby is immortal.

But now, I can kill Graham. But that’s not what I want. So, the only thing I can do is promise him freedom and never ask him to help me again in the future after the cult is destroyed.

Maybe there’s a way to cancel a contract after my summoning level increased. Maybe expert level? Or even master level?

If there’s a way to cancel a contract, I will do it to Graham in the future. As for Shelia and Victoria, I will ask their permission first. Though I hope Victoria won’t ask for it.

Now, it’s time for me to be the scout. I used portal to transport Shelia and I back to where Elsie noticed the incoming enemy. And when I looked at the enemy reinforcement, there’s really no one who noticed me looking.

But it’s still bad, because they are not directly in front of me. They are a few degrees on the west. Which means we still can’t tell where the enemy headquarter is. Just how difficult it is to find it!?

Well, I also didn’t think that we would find it in just two days. But not finding any clue at all is simply annoy me. I hate this. I hate the cult.

Though since I don’t see anyone flying in the sky, I can just run in the air far from where they can detect me. And Shelia can do that as well.

“The enemy came from different direction than before. How can we find the mastermind?” Shelia asked.

“Keep looking. Even if the place we’re going end up not where we want, there should be important figures from the cult in that place. We can ask them more later. And we can also get the prisoners to tell us where the Evil God is. Unless the vampires have drunk all their blood,” I said.

“You think they will say anything?” Shelia asked.

“I doubt it. But if they think they are smart and try to lie, we have someone who can detect lies. And we can eliminate some places based on their lies,” I said.

“I see. Being humans during a war is difficult. For us monsters, we just need to fight until death so the war is over. Well, as long as we werewolves can get our share of fighting, and you are still our king, we will do anything you want us to do,” Shelia said.

“I’ll be counting on you.”

“Wait! I smell some people going to different direction. It’s over there!”

Shelia suddenly smelled some people moving on their own instead of going with the others. It’s a bit behind of enemy reinforcement. Maybe that’s why Elsie didn’t notice them.

“Let’s go over there and see who they are and where they are going. Maybe we can find some clues,” I said as we chased after those moving on their own.

Finally, I can see a group of five people moving somewhere. None of them noticed us coming, so it’s safe to say that they are not artificial master level mage. Though it’s obvious that none of them have mohawk, we can’t truly be safe just by knowing that. Who knows if someone managed to create a hair restoration potion? And what if there are mohawks who think that’s a good hairstyle? I can only feel safe knowing that they didn’t notice me looking at them.

“What should we do? Kill them?” Shelia asked.

“Not yet. It seems like they are going somewhere. And from what I can see at the direction they are going, there are a lot of monsters hidden in a cave. They must be tamers trying to get all those monsters,” I said.

Finally, the opponents will bring monsters with them. Everyone in the fake village should be able to handle the enemies, but if these monsters are coming, it will be bad. I guess I’ll stop the search now and kill those monsters first.
