Chapter 190: Redwood Skirmish (1)
The Fellkin witnessed what just happened, and most of them were on the verge of pulling their horns out in frustration.
Who the fuck was the damned black-haired young man just now?!
They were so eager to see the brief agony of the young female human, only for their plan to fail at the last minute due to unexpected assistance.
The Fellkin named Beran had risked his life and spent years to be a trusted, low-ranking military officer in the Imperial Wizard Army, waiting for this massive chance to improve his status within their achievement- and strength-based fell society.
He silently took out his partner, who was watching the Magna Prospects’ operation areas with him, and sneaked his true comrades into the zone.
Another of them then assumed the identity of the dead army soldier and went on to watch the area for days.
They were certain that, eventually, Ennya or Hal would have to come and clear the areas close to their posts, which would then allow them to assassinate either of the prospects and wipe out their incompetent platoons.
With Kurava’s information about the two young humans, the five were so sure they could carry out their tasks.
And quite easily at that.
Ennya Kasai turned out to be the lucky prospect they would assassinate, and the Fellkin five were glad that she was, as the young man named Hal Fennec was too strange and might have a way to escape them.
Though, of course, their approach would have differed if he had been the first one to clear an area close to their post.
The Flame Magna Prospect was reportedly all brawn and no brain, after all, and that she didn’t have any other repositioning spell aside from Blazing Step, which wouldn’t allow her to escape the darkness cage.
