Chapter 362 - 209: You Really Are Cautious!_2
"Alright! I agree!" Raine nodded and said.
"Great! Everyone, get into position immediately, I’ll contact Commodore Gregory." Henry laughed heartily.
The Royal Guards, having been through continuous battles, immediately began consuming Physical Strength Potions.
As for the Critter Squad, apart from the two Level 9 Mages, Dylan and Keller, the other mages also took out Spiritual Recovery Potions that emitted a faint blue sheen and began consuming them.
At this time, Raine suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at the Critter Squad, his gaze landing on Dylan, who had just used the ’Eye of the Tracker,’ and said:
"Mr. Dylan, could you check if there are any Frost Giant’s minions within a few kilometers around our current location?"
Hearing Raine’s words, Dylan was taken aback but understood that Raine was worried about the possibility of Frost Giant’s minions disrupting their ambush action. Smiling, he said, "Mr. Raine, you are very meticulous. Hold on, let me check."
With his fingers radiating magical radiance, Dylan gestured a few times in mid-air, his smile growing wider. "Mr. Raine, rest assured, there are no Frost Giant’s minions within three kilometers."
Upon hearing this, Raine’s eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Seeing this, the others looked puzzled.
Isn’t it a good thing to have no minions?
Why the frown?
"Mr. Dylan, then... are there any Winter Wolf Pack?" Raine continued to ask.
"There is, indeed. Just 2.6 kilometers to the east-southeast, there’s a pack of more than ten Winter Wolves. However, considering this distance and given that we’re battling the Frost Giant Commander, the Winter Wolf Pack, even if they notice, wouldn’t dare to come over."
Dylan thought Raine was worried that the Winter Wolf Pack might cause trouble, so he explained in detail.
"2.6 kilometers to the east-southeast, huh? Thank you, I’ll be right back." Raine’s eyebrows relaxed, and he smiled, telling Henry before he left.
Hmm?
Everyone was somewhat confused.
What’s happening?
Isn’t this too cautious?
Is it necessary? Although killing Winter Wolves doesn’t take much effort, consuming a small part of one’s energy while preparing for the Frost Giant Commander seems unnecessary.
And in the very next moment, when Raine cast the Flying Spell to leave, Henry was instantly stunned. He turned to look at Meredith beside him, shocked, and said, "Raine can also use the Flying Spell?"
He always thought Raine belonged to the special classes of the warrior side.
"Yes." Meredith’s cold and beautiful face smiled faintly without giving much explanation, instead leaving others with an air of mystery.
In fact, the first time Meredith saw Raine cast a Flying Spell, she was also very shocked. This time, the shock was transmitted to Henry.
"Goodness, this is one of the hardest Third Level Spells to master."
Even the few mages of the Critter Squad looked at Raine’s departing figure with some surprise.
"Wait, wasn’t Raine just recently promoted to Level 5, how does he know the Flying Spell?" Suddenly, Henry questioned back.
"Gifted." Meredith said lightly.
"This..."
There was nothing more to say, but this made Henry pay even more attention to Raine.
...
At the same time.
Elsewhere.
Commodore Gregory, who received a message from Henry, was currently moving at high speed through the snow with great risk.
His eyebrows, eyelashes, and beard were now covered in large patches of white frost, like a Santa Claus who had been standing in the snow all night. Behind him, a ball of white frost energy or a beam of white energy occasionally shot out.
Even with his extraordinary physique, if it weren’t for several rare-level magic equipment that could lift movement restrictions, he would have long been unable to hold on, needing to use the Any Door Scroll.
"Transcendent human! You can’t escape."
"If you surrender, I might consider not killing you." A deep voice called out from behind him, the surrender plea of the Frost Giant Commander, Gorash.
To this, Gregory turned a deaf ear. At this moment, he was pondering the contents of Henry’s message, filled with indecision.
Of course, he knew from the contents of the message that Henry intended to encircle and kill the Frost Giant Commander.
But was the Frost Giant Commander so easy to kill?
What a joke, he was nearly frozen to death.
This was a giant transcendent being, even at the same level, far surpassing humans in combat power.
But in the next instant, he thought of one thing: Henry was not just some noble offspring interested only in drinking and having fun.
At a young age, he was already a Level 7 Classes Silver Swordsman and had established the Critter Squad, among other achievements. While partly due to the provision of massive resources, a great deal also came from his own effort.
Since Henry asked him to lead the Frost Giant Commander over, he must have a feasible plan.
Having figured this out, Gregory immediately began to change course.
...
2.6 kilometers outside the spruce forest.
A Winter Wolf lay in a pool of blood, Raine swung off the red-and-white residue on his hammer, feeling a special sensation of some excitement coursing through his body.
’It’s effective!’ A smile appeared on Raine’s lips.
His inquiry about the positions of the Ogre minions and Winter Wolves was to stack the buff ’Brutal Level 2’—
’In a battle, killing an enemy that poses a threat to you grants a 1% increase in power and agility for 45 seconds. This effect is stackable, with time refreshing upon stacking, up to a maximum of 15 layers.’
But the issue was that ’an enemy that poses a threat’ was too vaguely defined.
Raine once doubted whether Winter Wolves would count, but after killing them, he discovered that a Challenge Level 3 Winter Wolf indeed applied!
