”We won't be able to proceed with the plan as long as we don't have enough supply to make the weapons and other necessary items we needed.” Mayor Jong heaves a long sigh.
Leo and everyone nodded their heads as they were smart enough to understand what Mayor Jong had said.
Everything involving Magical Beast, especially Magical Beast hoard or nest, to be more precise a Magical Beast tribe, one will always need a supply for elimination. Without that, no one, as in no one, would be able to successfully eliminate them. Unless of course if one is already powerful enough that they can single-handedly eliminate an entire Magical Beast tribe.
”You said you have a plan, what kind of plan exactly is it?” Leo can't help asking as he was curious what kind of plan Mayor Jong has that can be used to eliminate a nest of Sandstone Mother Spider.
Sandstone Mother Spider was known to be an 8 Star to 9 Star Magical Beast. A nest full of them simply means that it's really difficult to eliminate all of them.
However, Mayor Jong actually said he has a plan? Not to mention, he has even said that ”As a Sand race, we know clearly well of the best way to eliminate Sandstone Mother Spider.”
Just what kind of plan did Mayor Jong think, and how does it relate to them being of the Sand race?
He really wants to know about it!
”Oh, it's very easy to kill Sandstone Mother Spider,” Mayor Jong showed a proud look on his face. He continued, ”Although those Sandstone Mother Spiders are known to be 8 Star to 9 Star Magical Beast, their species, specifically Sandstone Spiders, is actually also known to be the bottom feeders in the desert. It's because a Magical Beast a level or two below them could easily kill them. That's why they always stayed underground.”
”So you meant to say is, you want to lure another Magical Beast to their nest in order for you to eliminate them?” Leo wanted to confirm.
”Yes, that's indeed the plan.” Mayor Jong nodded his head with a smile on his face.
”But for that Sandstone Mother Spider's nest to successfully eliminate 18 of your people in the 3 Star to 4 Star level despite being said to be the bottom feeders in the desert, we can guess that it means that there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them in that nest, right? Or even millions,” Leo paused as he showed Mayor Jong a knowing look on his face. He continued, ”So, you would definitely need to lure a large and powerful Magical Beast tribe to their nest. But where exactly would you find any of that? And not to mention, a Magical Beast tribe that will have the courage to go against a Sandstone Lord Spider?”
Mayor Jong already expected that Leo would ask him such a question, so he quickly replied, ”There is a Magical Beast tribe of a Beast Lord Sandpit Worm 500 kilometers away from the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest.”
”So you want to dig a tunnel straight towards the direction of the underground nest of the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest?” Leo can't help asking in doubt.
”Of course not!” Mayor Jong shook his head.
”Good...” Leo really almost thought that Mayor Jong was stupid.
If Mayor Jong was really thinking of digging from the surface straight under the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest, then it would take many months for them to complete such a thing, and there's even a big chance for them not to be able to complete it considering how troublesome doing such a plan is.
He can already expect that for the Magical Beast tribe of the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm to really fight against the Magical Beast tribe of the Sandstone Lord Spider, specifically the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest, it would first require them to create a tunnel big enough for a Magical Beast tribe to fit in without them feeling any disadvantages during the expected fight. Without that, then even if they can successfully lure the Magical Beast tribe of the Beast Lord Sandpit Worm to the surface location of the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest, it would still be useless as they would obviously not fight with each other considering that the former is up on the surface while the latter's territory is deep underground.
”What we will do instead is to force those Sandstone Spiders to dig a tunnel to the surface themselves.” Mayor Jong smile and continued, ”As to how we would do that? Very simple, we just need to blow up the ceiling of the Sandstone Mother Spider's nest and let the sand fall down to their nest. With their nest covered in sand, they would be forced to dig a tunnel to the surface before they can begin repairing their nest since they would need a place to put the sands away.”
”That's a very great idea, but that might cause you to lose some of your men. I think you wouldn't like that, right?” Leo raised his right eyebrow in doubt. He had already understood that Mayor Jong wasn't the type of person that would just sacrifice his people. So, how would he handle such a situation? Or would Mayor Jong, unfortunately, go against his morals and principles just to be successful?
