Chapter 191: Training in Twilight Forest part 10 (1/2)
Just by basing on what Ahmed and Brad had explained before about the Twilight Bears, which they said that Twilight Bears were the type of a Magical Beast that is really, really territorial. Contrary to that, he had only seen one, even though he had already traveled in their territory for more than an hour now, making him really curious about that. After hearing Levi's explanation, though, he finally understood the reason why.
Twilight Bears belongs to the same category of Magical Beast who goes into hibernation during a specific time of the year, and this Twilight Bear's hibernation time for this year is unexpectedly right this moment.
This then made him think about something. If he takes into consideration the danger level of Twilight Bears, then even if the 5 Divisions are indeed powerful, they shouldn't have necessarily chosen to travel in this territory just to go west. In fact, with how big the Twilight Forest was, choosing a relatively safer path should have been easy for them to find. If it was him, he would choose to travel along the shoreline, although it would require more time. At least it is safer than going through the Twilight Bear's territory.
Taking all of his assumptions into consideration, then the real reason why the 5 Divisions choose the Twilight Bear's territory should not only be because they are pioneering the west, but it's also because they want to steal the Magical resources that the Twilight Bears prepared for themselves for their hibernation.
It is a well-known fact already amongst hunters that any Magical Beast that likes to go into hibernation would prepare stocks upon stocks of Magical resources for themselves. The Magical resources they have gathered would act as their food supply during the hibernation period and for them to recover after the hibernation.
As for the reason why it's still considered as pioneering, it is simply because after stealing the Magical resources the 5 Divisions would then leave the Twilight Bears weaken the moment they wake up due to the lack of Magical resources for recuperation. And while the Twilight Bears were still in a weakened state, the 5 Divisions would then start eliminating all of them, hence finally making the Twilight Bear's territory as their own.
This is clearly a 5 birds one stone strategy, which also has a potential of almost hitting the 6th bird.
First, the Eclipse village earned themselves plenty of Magical resources. Second, they can eliminate all the Twilight Bears. Third, this territory would then become a part of the Eclipse village. Fourth, the Eclipse village could finally have a safe and fast passage that will connect them to the Silver Kingdom. Fifth, the resources can further improve the overall power of the entire Eclipse village. And lastly, the potential 6th bird, after increasing the Eclipse village strength, the threat of the Vampires would then lessen by a bit which is definitely the beginning of the Eclipse village path to resist against the Vampires.
Whoever had come up with this plot, the only thing he can say is that this person is really one of smartest people he has ever encountered in his entire life, specifically second since his Master Olivia was naturally the first.
”Can I perhaps find that person in the 5 Divisions?” Leo can't help feeling excited. He really wants to go and meet with the 5 Divisions as soon as possible now after discovering that 1 stone 6 bird plan. If he can learn from that person, then his skill in strategy will definitely go up.
*Tung! *Tung!
Suddenly, Ahmed and Brad arrived, seemingly out of breath.
”We finally found you!” Ahmed said while catching his breath.
Obviously, Leo was quickly able to understand that Ahmed and Brad had run here as fast as possible after taking a quick glance at them, which only means they have found something big to make him act like this.
���What happened?” Leo curiously asked.
”We... we finally found them!” Brad exclaimed in joy.
Leo's eyes lit up brightly after hearing what Brad had said. What he meant to say is that they have finally found the 5 Divisions.
”Calling the devil's name really summons the devil, huh?” Leo thought to himself.
”Rather than saying we found them, it is actually them that had found us!” Ahmed quickly corrected it.
”Oh...” Leo just simply nodded his head. To be honest, the 5 Divisions finding them was in line with one of his expectations, considering the fact that they have a Scout Division.
”Okay then, lead the way!” Leo motioned for Ahmed and Brad to lead him.
Ahmed and Brad both nodded their heads at the same time as they quickly lead Leo back to where they were resting before.
.....
Soon enough, Leo finally saw 2 figures standing on top of a stem, specifically the stem that Ahmed and Brad were resting moments ago.
”There you are!” A beautiful woman with cat-like eyes, elves like ears, and snake-like scales around her neck waved her hand.
”Took you guys so long to return back. So, is that the young man you were talking highly about moments ago?” A well-built man with elephant-like ears, bear-like hands, and goat-like horns in his head asked.
