Chapter 172 Revenge
A squad of witcher-knights were stationed in Blue Hillock City, since it was the closest city to the Great Greenland Forest.Based on the information provided by Bald Eagle, this squad of witcher-knights had left their posts seven days ago. They went into the Greenland Forest after hiring some local mercenaries but had yet to return.
This meant that the witcher-knight squad was already active in the forest before the Mage squad had entered this world!
Bleia didn't dare delay this news. Quickly, she sent it back to the Mages' base while at the same time she informed Leon, who was catching magical creatures deep in the forest.
Leon was leading his group of golems in the extermination of a tribe of man-eating demons when he received Bleia's alert.
There were a total of twenty-seven members in the man-eating demon tribe; twenty-two of them were adults, while five were children. With a height of 3 meters, a massive physique nearing five hundred pounds, and Strength that could easily reach 14 points, each and every adult male demon had power that could rival a pseudo-Mage. Even the slightly weaker female demons were as powerful as advanced apprentices.
If a tribe like this was left to the natives to exterminate, it would probably require three hundred to five hundred well-equipped and expertly trained elite warriors to do so. Even if they succeeded in the extermination, at least half the group would die in the attempt!
Yet in the hands of an Mage, such a task was extremely simple.
If all he wished to do was slaughter the lot of them, Leon could just summon the Fire Lord, and it would be done. But if he did that, his plan of capturing live specimens would not come to fruition!
Instead, Leon used a bottle of Weakening Drug to pollute the demons' water source. While they were weakened, Leon summoned six terrifying stone serpents and captured the entire tribe in one fell swoop.
An adult male demon possessed 16 points of Physique and 14 points of Strength. Coupled with their incredible regenerative abilities, these demons were comparable to slightly weaker Body Refining pseudo-Mages. Unfortunately for them, this Weakening Drug had been synthesized specifically for this demon tribe. Once ingested, both their Physique and Strength fell below 10 points and severely limited the demons' power. Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
On the other hand, a stone-serpent golem at the pseudo-Mage level had 16 points of Strength and 18 points of Physique. Only when the demons had been infected did the serpents surge forward. They didn't even attack the demons; instead, they merely used their stone bodies to forcibly constrict the demons into one spot.
It was then Leon's turn. Using the Scroll of Voodoo to cast Sleep, he caused all twenty-seven demons to fall to the ground, one after another. Thick wooden bats and stone clubs tumbled from their hands, smashing holes into the ground.
After instructing the stone serpents to open their mouths and swallow the sleeping demons, Leon could finally turn his attention to the communication crystal..
Witcher-knight squad...entered seven days ago...
This information attracted Leon's attention.
Calculating the number of days, Leon figured the squad had entered the Greenland Forest before the Mages had arrived. Thus, their goal couldn't possibly be the Mages' base. The knight's mission had to be something else.
Could it possibly be that some native casters had hidden themselves in the Greenland Forest? And by doing so, did they draw the witcher-knights into the forest? It seemed far-fetched. But given the witcher-knights' purpose, Leon might just be right!
Therefore, Leon had the stone serpents send the captured man-eating demons back to base, while also summoning 10 wind critters and dispersing them into the surrounding woods to look for the witcher-knight squad's tracks.
The wind critters were low-level golems Leon created using beginner-level wind attribute crystal cores. They weren't very powerful, and looked liked clusters of swirling wind only one meter high. Their Strength, Physique and Spirit were all less than 5 points. Frankly speaking, their battle strength was completely non-existent. Their only advantage was their high agility and the ability to fly.
Honestly, this is a redundant statement- it would actually be weirder if a mini-whirlwind made from green air couldn't fly!
Leon attached a thread of his Spirit to all ten of the wind critters before letting them go. As they silently floated above the forest canopy, their light green bodies were almost invisible against the background of the blue skies. They wouldn't attract the attention of enemies.
This quality was precisely why Leon created them- to be his sentries, his eyes in the sky!
Ten wind critters meant ten different points of mental sight. Naturally, the information sent back by the critters was also extremely massive. If Leon had to rely only on his Spirit, he could probably only maintain a vague command on each critter. But with the help of the chip, Leon decided not to waste any Spirit on instructing the wind critters on their flight path. Instead, he left it all to the chip.

At this torturous moment, he opened his eyes wide. Lifting his head in surprise, he stared unflinchingly at a spot above the camp.
There was something odd there~
This...this was the unique elemental flux of Wind Elementium!
There was clearly nothing there in the dark sky above the rowdy camp. However, this teenager sensed the unique concentration of Wind Elementium there thanks to the elemental talent that he had awakened.
Natural concentration of Elementium? Impossible!
Just eight minutes ago, there was nothing odd there. There was no way Wind Elementium would concentrate at that spot for no reason!
The very next second, the teenager had to grit his teeth to avoid shouting out in surprise.
Three more unique concentrations of Wind Elementium had appeared in the sky, slowly circling there.
It seemed as if...as if they were searching for something!
Something was about to occur! Something was about to happen in the camp!
Hope burned in the teenager's eyes as he silently observed the surroundings of the camp.
Soon, he made an even greater discovery.
