Chapter Ninety-Seven: Sweeping
"That'...... Let's burn these two bodies quickly!" said Riel.
"No, it's only going to get worse. "If they can smell us in this environment, they must be able to ask about that heavy burnt smell." ”
"I didn't want to do it, but they seem to have identified you, and one of them is already planning to return to their home base. Kelly said.
Alan ran out of ideas for a while...... I didn't expect these two ordinary werewolf corpses to cause them so much trouble.
"I have a ......solution," said Mr. Connor after a moment of silence, "a bit of a risk, but I think it's worth trying...... If it succeeds, you'll be able to hide here for a long time. ”
"What's the solution?" asked Allen.
"That's it...... Wipe out all the werewolves in this town!"
"Dad, this is not a joke...... "Riel smacked his lips, "it's not hard to kill these werewolves, but wouldn't that be tantamount to telling Brestu to hunt us down?"
"No, on the contrary, Burrestu would not only not know, but might also let his guard down completely. ”
"Why?" Riel was stunned.
"It is not unfounded that I say this...... "Mr. Connor said," said Mr. Connor, "and this is the information I received from the Minister before I was at home...... There are a total of twenty-one werewolves in this town. One of them, the one-eyed man has a significantly higher IQ than the other werewolves, and has the ability to communicate with people, only moving around the guild lobby. The remaining twenty act in groups of two, stationed at the entrance of the village or wandering the various paths of Beya, and they need little rest and patrol day and night...... But in reality, they disappear for a short time every day......"
"You mean...... What hour at noon?" asked Allen.
"That's right, people were allowed to travel during that time precisely because they were also refueling...... Take advantage of the black ball placed in front of the association's conference lobby. "I don't know what that black ball is, but it's certain that the werewolves are able to move without sleep because of it...... The Minister hated having to be with them every day, but he did see something interesting, such as the fact that he could see them gathering around the black ball every day to draw energy, and the one-eyed occasionally talking to himself......"
"That's the tool they use to replenish their energy and communicate with Burreto!"
"Yes, I think so, too!" said Mr. Connor.
"But what does this have to do with your plans?" asked Riel.
"It's a big deal...... Because the system that Burestu has improvised in order to catch you as soon as possible is not as perfect as you think, and there is even a very big hole!" said Mr. Connor, "it is so...... I've been working in the security department for so many years, and I have to write a work report every day before leaving work, but the werewolf led by me can't, although it can communicate with humans simply, but it doesn't have the ability to write, and will only receive instructions from Burestu through the black ball, or occasionally say a few words to it...... So I surmise that they don't have a habit of communicating regularly! As long as we get rid of the werewolves in this town, it should be able to win you a long time!"
"I see!" Alan immediately understood, "Because Burrestu has a lot of trust in the abilities of this group of lackeys he created, coupled with their own flaws, the so-called communication between them is actually mostly a one-sided connection!"
"Even if Brestu wanted to listen to them report on his work every day, he wouldn't have the time, after all, I don't know how many villages, towns, and cities on this continent combined. "No one dared to do that before, because there was a Magic Guild out under the guise of it, and no one was willing to risk their lives to provoke werewolves." ”
"In fact, people in other cities have already taken action. "We have been inquired about the situation here by friends from some of the big cities, who have been unhappy with this illegal martial law for a long time, and have even marched to demand that the ban be lifted, but they have been suppressed by force......
"Suppressed by force?" Alan was a little surprised.
"Yes, they didn't expect the Magic Guild to directly let the werewolves take action, so there are still dead people...... "Mr. Connor said, "and nothing like this has happened since...... Those who fear bloodshed choose to give in and endure, while those who want to continue to resist go underground, waiting for their time. ”
"We avoided them everywhere because we didn't know how long it would take to find the relics, and we had to protect ourselves in order to win...... But it's different now!" Cynthia couldn't help but be furious when she heard the news, "Now that we have the strength to fight with him, we just need a little time to think about countermeasures, and we don't have to hide blindly!"
"Then let's start here!" Alan nodded, "Maybe we'll be able to liberate some of the nearby towns by the way." The faster we move, the more people we can be saved!"
"Count me in!" said Kelly, "For the sake of peace, Kane's descendants will always be on your side!"
With that, they began to work out a concrete plan of action.
After nearly half an hour of deliberation, they decided to divide into three groups and act at the same time. Frey and Connor set up a trap to trap the two werewolf corpses to attract as many other werewolves as possible and then annihilate them in one fell swoop, Kelly and Riel worked together to deal with the werewolves stationed at the entrance of the village and then dealt with the unhooked individuals who were still roaming the road, and Alan and Cynthia worked together to deal with the werewolf leader who was always guarding the black ball.
Frey's earth magic was a great place to set traps, he placed the corpses of the two werewolves on a relatively open ground, and then carved a spell around them, as long as enough werewolves gathered, he would activate the trap magic and bury them all in the ground, while the Connor were responsible for covering and guarding, ready to support in case of any accidents.
Although it is the first time for Rare and Kelly to work together, their abilities are very compatible. Kelly can smell lone werewolves wherever they are, and Riel, who is familiar with the streets of Beya, can take him to his destination in an instant, allowing Kelly to easily break their necks.
To make sure nothing goes wrong, the little leader of the werewolf will be dealt with by Alan and Cynthia personally, as the job can be highly uncertain. Cynthia has a wide variety of spells at her disposal, which is very suitable for dealing with unexpected events, and having Eren with her is to prevent that strange black ball......
