Chapter 197: Training in Twilight Forest part 16 (1/2)
*Whooosh! *Whooosh! *Whooosh!
Just right ahead of Leo and every one of the 5 Divisions hiding outside, hundreds of Vampires, specifically around less than 500, slowly arrived one by one.
Leo and the 5 Divisions were already long covered by herbal smell, so they're pretty much well-hidden already right now.
”Sir, all of them are hidden inside those 5 big huts!” A Vampire reported after sniffing with his nose to what Leo quickly assumed as the leader of the group.
”Surround the place. Be sure not to let anyone escape. Also, be extremely careful. Hundreds of our men already died while chasing after these damn Hybrids. Moreover, this place should be their last resort, so be sure not to miss anything.” The leader named Bland ordered before walking ahead of the group to approach the 5 big huts.
The reason why Bland was so cautious with the Hybrids right now was simply because the Hybrids are very tricky to handle. Due to the fact that the Hybrids have a mix of 3 or more different sorts of Beastman races traits, they can do things out of their expectations. In fact, there were exactly 1,000 Vampires when they began their attack on the Eclipse village. However, because of the trickiness of these Hybrids, catching them became so hard. One Vampire keeps on being surrounded by 3 or more Hybrids that would suddenly arrive out of nowhere before quickly being killed together, then afterward they would quickly go and assist the other Hybrids. Such kind of situation keeps on repeating over and over again, and if only they don't have the numerical and Magic spell advantage, then the Hybrids could have easily won against them. So, right now, he wants every one of his men to be extremely careful so that the situation wouldn't repeat once again.
Well, it wasn't like they really lost the fight, since they were still able to kill more than their total casualties. But nothing bad with being cautious, right? Since it's better to be safe than sorry.
Hearing their leader's order, the Vampire quickly separated into three groups. The first group followed behind the leader, the Mage group readied themselves behind the first group in order to provide support, and the last group went to both left and right side of the 5 big huts to prepare for an ambush.
Hidden in the bush, Ash can't help looking at Leo and the group of Vampires multiple times while feeling slightly bit panic inside. The beginning of the situation right now was so far out from what Leo had just said to them before. There were only 1/4 of the total Vampires who were approaching the 5 big huts while the remaining 3/4 were behind to provide support and hiding to the left and right, which simply means that the herbal smell could only affect a minority of the Vampires the moment they initiated it.
”Just wait!” Leo replied while still focusing on the approaching Vampires.
”Slowly... slowly... slowly... now!” Leo quickly signaled using some small mirror the moment the leader and the men following behind him arrived in the perfect spot, specifically in the middle of the wide-open space between the 5 big huts and the trees all around the place.
The mirror lights quickly spread out all over the place in an inconspicuous manner. No Vampires were able to notice the lights.
Quickly, the herbal smell spread all over the place, immediately hindering the sense of smell of the Vampires.
”Leader Bland, do you smell the herbal smell around us?” One of the Vampires reported.
”Sh*t!” Bland quickly understood the situation as he motioned for his men to prepare themselves. Fortunately, it was only their group who would most likely be affected by the herbal smell due to the fact that the Mages group was out of range and the third group was up above the trees.
”Look, are those Wind Elementals!!” A vampire exclaimed in horror.
”What the heck are those things doing here!” Bland can't believe what he was seeing right now. There were actually 8 Wind Elementals flying up above them...
*Whoooooooooosh!
Suddenly, the Wind Elementals used their Wind Manipulation skill to further spread the herbal smell all over the place, quickly affected all of the Vampire's sense of smell.
”Quickly tell them to begin separating the Vampires!” Leo quickly informed Ash, who was currently opening her mouth widely in shock.
”You created those...” Ash asked in disbelief.
Leo didn't bother answering as he quickly took the mirror from Ash's hand and signaled everyone instead.
Seeing the signal, everyone from the 5 Divisions quickly calms themselves as their Mages began casting some Magic spells to target all of the Vampires, whether they were the first group, the mage group, and the last group up above the trees, there were no exceptions as everyone received their fair share of Magic spells aiming straight towards them.
