In the Toyke Forest, the fallen leaves were scattered on the ground, and beneath the fallen leaves seemed to be something else, and the small animals hid in the shadows of the trees and shivered in the direction of the center of the forest.

There was a crunch "click" and the animals scattered in fright by the sudden sound, while the owner of the red metal boots that made the sound looked around the forest unconcernedly.

"Did I just smash something?" Lillian asked, "Sounds like bones." ”

"Reasonable judgment." Rhines frowned, as if she was smelling the air, "It should be some kind of animal, in short, it can't be human...... How long before you can get to the range of the lair? ”

"Judging by the report, it's time to get here." Jura looked around, "There may be a slight deviation. ”

The members of the clan in charge of the battle prepared. They're all elite members of the family, and that's the advice of the leaders - even if it's just a junior lair, it's more efficient to let the elite captains experience it first, and then let them tell their subordinates how to fight.

"It should be a short distance ahead." Apaya fiddled with the scouting equipment, "There's a sign of a high temperature ahead. ”

"That should be it." Reinth took a few steps forward seemingly casually, but her dagger was already in her hand, "Be careful, don't use magic or kill intent until you plan to alarm them." ”

She paused.

"I'm sorry, I'll correct you, just be careful not to have murderous intent. Leanne doesn't know magic, I forgot. ”

Lillian looked like she was about to jump up and punch her.

"Look, we're here at the right time." Reinse's face wrinkled unhappily, "This humidity will be fully grown in about another 1-2 days." ”

Jura looked at her nervously, and Lilian's eyes were unabashedly eager to try.

"Don't look at me, little miss, one day is enough time for us to put them in the nest - so, how do you want to fight? Do you sneak over, or do you just hit it with great fanfare? ”

"Of course you should charge head-on!"

…… However, no one paid attention to the ambitious Lillian.

"Let's keep an eye on the trail and move forward cautiously." As the commander of the operation, Yura made the decision as follows, "The family's combatants are on the perimeter. ”

Just as they were about to start adjusting their formation, Reins reached out and motioned for them to stop.

"No need, little miss." She and Lillian took a battle-ready stance, "It's already here. ”

As soon as the words fell, two soul-wounding beasts appeared in front of their eyes.

A soul-wounding beast is twice as tall and three times as wide as a human. Its feet are as thick as a cow's hooves, its upper body is ape-like, hairy and muscular, its talons are as sharp as an eagle's claws, and its final head has tiny eyes, but its sharp teeth make it impossible to ignore its danger.

"Two." "Looks like a small one has grown up ahead of time—another adult should still be in the nest guarding the cubs." ”

The battle members of the clan quickly took a fighting stance, and everyone's faces were full of solemnity.

"Little miss, I have a suggestion." Rhines said flatly, "Let your men fight the one on the left that has just grown, and Leanne and I will drag the other one first, and when your men are done fighting, we will take a good look at ours—and then the one in the lair will be handed over to you." ”

Jura nodded.

"Battle group, attack!"

The family had a total of ten combatants in the operation. Five of them dropped their packages in place and quickly assembled their large guns, while the other five boarded the combat machines dropped by the flying ship and began hand-to-hand combat. Their cannonballs and mechanical weapons have mysterious patterns attached to them, allowing them to glow with a colored glow representing different attributes at the same time as they hit the Soul Breaker.

On the other side, Lillian had already rushed forward with her twin axes, her armor covering her entire body from her right shoulder in an instant. Perhaps it was the effect of this period of training, as she nimbly dodged the oncoming attack of the Soul Wounded Beast, and instead ran on its shoulder with the claws of the other party's attack. She slashed down with her axe, then immediately pulled out and jumped away. The claws of the pain-eating soul-wounding beast tried to grab her, but they pounced.

Reins stood still and didn't move, but a magic circle of different colors flashed quickly in her hand, and a corresponding enlarged version of the magic circle appeared around the soul wounding beast, and different forms of elemental attacks flew out of it.

"Leanne?"

"Fire works best!" The red-haired woman shouted, "It's water over there!" ”

Hearing her words, the family's artillery units replaced their shells, and the Technics' weapons were projected with a light blue glow. For a split second, Lillian's own weapons were covered in vivid red, matching the color of her equipment. When Lillian didn't attack, the soulbreaker tried to help its companion, but Lillian would immediately attack again to distract it.

Unlike Lilian's easy situation, the battle situation on the family's side seemed to be a bit difficult. After all, the flexibility of the machine is not comparable to that of humans, so it is inevitable that it will be subjected to several violent attacks, and the outer layer of the machine will be effectively defended, and although the appearance of the machine is damaged, the operator is not seriously affected by the fact that it is still operating normally.

"The whole team obeys!" There was a female with short curly hair in the artillery crew who was holding a communicator and began to command—Rhines glanced at it, and it seemed that a woman of about the same age who had played well with Elion during the exercise — "Its weakness is in its right foot!" Rosser diverted its attention, and the rest focused on attacking! ”

She has excellent observation skills. Reins came to this conclusion. The newly grown Soul Wound Beast lacks combat experience, and this type that has grown unexpectedly ahead of time has flaws, and if you notice this, it will become very easy to deal with.

"That's Rosier." "Although she is young, about 18 years old, she has a great talent for combat command, so she is the captain of the entire combat team. Her older brother, Rosser, is in the mechanical group, and he has no command talents, but he is the best combatant, and will follow orders and react correctly as soon as possible. ”

"I'm a little jealous of you." Reins complained half-truthfully, "Why are all the talents in the family?" ”

Apaya touched her head helplessly.

"If the family wants to exchange ten top talents for a Fili with you, will you be willing to exchange it?"

"Give me a hundred, and I won't change it."

Reins lifted her chin slightly, proudly walking in Lilian's direction, while Apaya's face had a slight smile on her face.

The battle between the clans ended quickly after discovering the Soul Wounded Beast's weakness, and it let out a death-symbolizing howl and fell to the ground with what seemed to be the sound of something shattering. The members of the family couldn't help but glance at each other excitedly.

"Well done." Jura encouraged, "Now everyone come back and recuperate, and seriously observe the battle of the two members of the Fili mercenary group." ”

- It's as if they're out for a field trip.

Lillian's attack became ferocious, and it rained like a storm on the Soul Breaker, who roared as if it was angry, but never really caught Lillian. Ten meters away from it, Reins leaned on the ground with her left hand as a support and her right leg behind her back. Her aura began to weaken, and even if someone looked at her directly, there would be the illusion that it was just an illusion that was there, and that no one should exist there.

There were multiple wounds on the Soul Wound Beast's body, but this did not seem to hinder its movement, but rather intensified its physical abilities - Lillian was unable to dodge the Soul Wound Beast's suddenly faster claws, and was knocked into the trees in an instant, judging by the sound she made, she broke a lot of trees.

This made the faces of the family members change for a moment.

Immediately after, the figure that appeared on the head of the Soul Wounded Beast caught their attention.

The silver-haired mercenary floated above the Soul Wounded Beast. And when the Soul Wound Beast noticed it and wanted to look in her direction, Reins stretched out her hand and unfolded a black magic array in front of her hand, and the wound on the Soul Wound Beast's body that had been caused by Lillian burst into a bright red light in an instant, and its wailing also gave people an idea of what kind of pain it could cause.

"Feel the burning sensation all over your body! Big fool! ”

Lilian, who had returned to the crowd at some point, smirked, her armor undamaged except for scratches and dirt.

"Lillian, are you alright?" Jura asked with concern.

"This is the special armor that Shuka gave me, huh?" Lillian raised her arm as if she was showing something, "It doesn't hurt me at all if you haven't grown wise—well, it's useless to stare at Rhine." ”

The red-haired mercenary's words seemed to reveal something, but Yura didn't have time to think about it, just listened to her words and continued to watch the battle that was not over.

Compared to Lilian's direct and rough play, Reinse's attacking stance is more like some kind of elegant dance move. It was only natural for her to dodge the Soul Wound Beast's attacks and fight back, but the Soul Wound Beast slowed down under its rage. At this moment, as if she had discovered something, she aimed the sharp blade of the dagger in the direction of the soul wounding beast and disappeared from the spot.

Behind the Soul Wounded Beast, the mercenary reappeared, and this time she only stayed in the air, and even the dagger had been put away. The Soul Wound didn't move, and it didn't even have any new dagger wounds on it. But this time everyone clearly heard the sound of something shattering, and with that sound, the Soul Breaker Beast toppled down, making a heavy impact with the ground.

The silver-haired mercenary fell lightly to the ground with a relaxed smile on his face.
