Chapter 23: A Minor Problem
The spots that the lions had chosen to hide were very good strategically. They were all close enough to each other that they could react very fast if something happened.
The hill was surrounded by a gentle slope from three sides, and some parts were even connected with it. The lions were hidden in perfect spots to spot any dangers from all sides.
They were also close enough that once their enemies stepped into the valley where the Flameclaw Lion was resting, they would be able to act quickly and surround their enemies from all sides.
Once that happened, there was no chance of escape for them.
They had thought of everything and planned well, but they never thought that an anomaly like Kael would join hands with their enemies.
That's why they never prepared for an assassination either. They never expected the prideful lioness to use such tactics.
Every Fanged Lion fell just like that. Kael and Kiona were getting used to it, so their assassinations were smoother than ever. It was especially true since they found the method the lions were using to alert others.
The moment Kael reached their target and Kiona got in position, he would throw the dart and a small rock simultaneously.
The dart would make the lion paralyzed, and the rock would make the disk disabled. He had asked Alpha first if this would work and received a positive response.
The disk itself was very weak, so destroying it was also very easy. That left the lions only one way to alert—by roaring. But that was taken care of by the thirsty lioness.
She seemed to love destroying their jaws with uppercuts, as even if they weren't going to roar, she would still start with that and then proceed to behead them.
