Chapter 766 - Sending Scouts Out



"We are near? Are you sure?" Doaf just joined the two with panting breaths while Amera gave him a silent glance.

"It\'s just my hunch," Arthur didn\'t know how to express it.

"Well, at least one of us is thinking good about all this," Amera sighed while Doaf asked:

"What if he is right?"

"Again? He just said it himself... It\'s a hunch!"

"Might be wrong indeed," Doaf gave her a meaningful glance, "and might be right."

Amera gazed at him for long seconds, "your point?"

"We need to prepare," Doaf finally said what he had in mind, "facing such a group of elites with disturbed and extremely exhausted forces won\'t do us any good."

"You want to make the elites rest?" Amera couldn\'t help but shout in anger, "are you out of your mind? The others won\'t stand a chance against those elite lycans!"

"Well, we have to risk it," Arthur stepped in, "at least you and your men need rest. Either it\'s our destination or another fierce group of fighters, you all need some rest."

Amera seemed not to be convinced with his logic. She glared at him while crossing her arms. "Don\'t tell me you agree with this madness!" she aggressively said to Arthur while adding, "this isn\'t a solution at all! We already run low on our numbers, so don\'t make things worse by losing a big chunk of it!"

"We need to take this gamble," Arthur slowly said, "if we want to truly demolish their schemes."

"What schemes?!" Amera gave Doaf a reprimanding glance, "we don\'t even have a single proof of what you previously assumed is true! And we have no evidence that whoever doing what you think is lying in wait for us at the corner!"

She seemed a bit agitated and Arthur knew she had all the right to behave like this. Yet he knew that deep down her fascade she knew he was right.

"We can send some to scout the front," Doaf suddenly suggested.

"Really? They just walk in the middle of the enemy ranks without getting caught or killed, right?" Amera sneered and sarcastically said.

"C\'mon," Doaf sighed, "\'don\'t act like this. You know he has a point in everything he said."

"With no real evidence so far," Amera didn\'t budge back, "I accepted his words before as we were fighting anyway while running. But now letting the weak face their strength is madness!"

"My mechas can handle them," Arthur interfered as he calmly said. "of course not for too long," he had to add when she gave him a cold glare.

"I have this artifact," Doaf took out a small bronzed pillar with a ball on one of its ends, "it can mask anyone\'s presence inside a circle of fifty meters."

"And they will just move in the middle of these lycans without being detected, right?"

"They will take a detour," Doaf took a deep breath, "like this they won\'t meet the main forces of the lycans and also can report later to us about the situation up front."

"I agree on this," Arthur didn\'t give the agitated Amera a chance to argue, "we need more eyes at the front anyway."

"What about your eyes? Didn\'t you say you can see for miles around?"

"It\'s limited," Arthur said, "and so we need this team to move out now."

Amera moved her eyes between the two before Doaf put an end to this matter as he decisively said:

"I\'ll select the fastest mages in my group. They will move out now."

"Wait!" Amera shouted to stop him before shaking her head in helplessness, "for the record, this is just a bad move."

"And?" Doaf didn\'t take her words to heart.

"I\'ll go with you and select my fastest as well," she couldn\'t help but succumb to their words, "I hope you two won\'t be all wrong at the end of the day."

Arthur watched the two retreat before they selected a group of one hundred mages. They didn\'t look that strong yet Arthur knew they were here only for their speed and not strength.

As that group was gathered, Doaf gave them the artifact alongside many bird\'s wings. Amera also did the same.

Arthur noticed the group disappearing from their place without a trace. "Can you see them?" he asked while he wasn\'t that worried about such a move in the open air.

They vanished in the middle of a raging and brutal fighting on all sides. In the middle of such tens of thousands of mages fighting each other, a tiny group of a hundred vanishing wouldn\'t attract any attention at all.

\'I can track them using the tree,\' Gege said before adding, \'but y\'know this is just for limited time, right?\'

"Just let the tree help in guiding them," Arthur said before turning his head to the front, "I don\'t need them to go astray or throw themselves in the middle of the lycans."

Gege understood his point and returned to the tree to relay the news to her. As for Doaf and Amera, they returned fast and watched the frontline getting pressured by a large number of lycans.

"Should we wait and rest now?" Amera pointed to such a disastrous situation with her spear.

"Let\'s go," Doaf ignored the sarcasm in her words, "we need to make sure those lycans are stopped before we get confirmation from them."

"Well, that\'s what I want to do anyway," Amera evilly grinned before turning into an arrow of fire that darted towards the lycans at the front.

And Doaf simply joined her a moment later.

"These two are having their fun," Arthur shook his head, "if we were in a lower realm, I wouldn\'t let this fun slip away like that."

He wasn\'t enjoying this, he wanted to fight as much as these two were enjoying themselves from the start.

Yet he had to be realistic. His power wasn\'t on par with those elites, and barely enough to get him away from the clutches of their cannon fodders.

"Tell me about their status," after the passage of one hour of such hell, Arthur calmly said while watching Doaf and Amera returning to the frontline again to lead their forces up there.

\'They are almost upon the edge of the tree perception,\' Gege said and that truly surprised Arthur.

"This is fast... Damn, they weren\'t joking when they selected the fastest mages in their groups," he said before adding, "be alert, once they get an eye over what\'s out there, we will have to prepare for the worst."

\'What do you have in mind?\' the golden dragon asked out of curiosity. Yet the next gasp that came from Gege made him more curious, \'c\'mon, tell me.\'

"You\'ll know in time," yet Arthur only sneered, "did you think I forgot about not telling me what you know before?" he added, referring to the little play they did to hide what they knew about Doaf and Amera\'s plan from earlier.

\'C\'mon, don\'t act like you have a dark heart or something,\' the golden dragon tried to persuade him but all he got with a loud laugh and silence after.

Arthur simply kept his silence while his contempt smile never left his face.
