Chapter 501: Destroying the peace of the Treasure Beetle tribes and the Storm Sparrow tribes part 2 (1/2)
Proofreader: M_W Miss Fierce
”You both will lure the Treasure Beetles here, while I'll prepare a trap for them,” Leo informed Chief Lago and Iasiah.
Everyone had already discussed a while back then before finally separating to execute their task on how they should handle both the Treasure Beetles and Storm Sparrows. And that is to lure them somewhere and trap them without leaving any sort of traces that will compromise them.
In the case of Leo and his group, it's to lead the Treasure Beetles in where he is right now.
The reason why they aimed to trap the Treasure Beetles was exactly because they have planned of transporting them personally to a place nearby the Storm Sparrow Tree.
Obviously, Leo, Chief Lago, and Iasiah already knew that they could actually just lure out the Treasure Beetles from the Treasure Beetle Mountain to the Storm Sparrow Tree instead, just like what Nightingale had done before. After all, doing so is the simplest method to bring the Treasure Beetles nearby the Storm Sparrow Tree.
But unfortunately, the simplest method doesn't always mean that it is the best method.
Luring the Treasure Beetles to the Storm Sparrow Tree once or a few times might be possible. But to lure them over there for a certain amount of times would definitely cause the Storm Sparrows to notice and be suspicious of what is going on. Once that happens, the Storm Sparrows would one hundred percent send a few of their men to investigate and find out the reason why many Treasure Beetles are going over their territory.
And certainly, the moment the Storm Sparrows begins investigating, they would eventually find out a lot of Treasure Beetle's carcasses lying nearby their territory.
Such findings would lead the Storm Sparrows to send a few men to the Treasure Beetle Mountain to report their findings to the Treasure Beetles, which might then let the Storm Sparrows be aware that there are actually also some Storm Sparrow's carcasses found in the territory of the Treasure Beetles.
Likewise, the same effect would also happen if Charlotte, Elvis, and Nightingale would follow the simplest method to lead the Storm Sparrows to the Treasure Beetle Mountain.
It's pretty obvious already what would happen next.
Both Treasure Beetles and Storm Sparrows would realize that someone is trying to destroy their peace, making them investigate who it was.
This obviously means that they could no longer continue with what they were planning to do as it wouldn't start a war between the two Magical Beast tribes anymore, and might just even cause them to get discovered instead.
Everything that they have done would serve as nothing, and they would have no other choice left but to just helplessly go back.
That's the reason why they should trap the Treasure Beetles and Storm Sparrows first and later on bring them personally to the territory of the other Magical Beast before finally killing them. Because by doing so, they have a high chance of remaining unnoticed and buy enough time until they finally killed a lot of them.
Of course, everything would eventually be discovered. But when they finally discovered something is wrong, a lot of their own men would already be killed, causing them to be enraged.
Additionally, with the clues that all the deaths have traces of the Element Power from the other Magical Beast, there would be a very high chance that they'll just come to the conclusion that this is certainly done by them, which would become the reason why the peace between the Treasure Beetle tribes and the Storm Sparrow tribes would be broken.
At this moment, they have chosen a location nearby the Treasure Beetle Mountain where the Treasure Beetles present are weak in cultivation level, approximately around No Star to 3 Star level.
”Okay,” Chief Lago said as he prepared to leave. But as he turned around, he noticed that Iasiah actually still didn't follow after him, hence making him asked, ”What's the matter?”
”Are you sure?” Iasiah asked Mister Loki, a bit worried about leaving him in this place alone. Of course, he already knows that Mister Loki is someone with a capability beyond his current cultivation level, simply due to the fact that he had seen how many Magical Beasts he had defeated already and his capability to summon those powerful Elementals. But that place was just the Green Area, while this place here is a Red Area. These two places entirely meant a different level of dangers.
”Maybe I should stay here to protect you?” Iasiah can't help suggesting. He was saved by Mister Loki, including his twin brother, Nightingale, that's why he doesn't want for any sort of danger to happen to him.
”I appreciate your concern,” Leo said with a smile on his face. But he then shook his head before adding, ”But Chief Lago needs you more in executing the plan. And besides, I won't grow if I keep on relying on you guys,”
From the moment he found out for the second time his affinity to become a Mage until this very moment, the majority of those times, he had always been relying on the people around him.
From Madam Silva and the Sword and Magic to his Master Olivia and the Mischievous Lion organization, then to the Mischievous Blue Sword Alliance, and right now to the members of his Mischievous Lion Guild who has a high cultivation level.
Obviously, relying on the people around him is alright, but being heavily reliant on them would certainly affect him negatively, at least that is what he feels right now.
