Chapter 20 An eleven patrol (2/2)
as Isabel let out a sigh that seemed to enhance her mature beauty she held out her hand gasping empty air as the earth below seemed to rise from the ground defying gravity and quickly forming a heavy looking hammer made of compressed soil
”ei!”
letting out a cute sound she effortlessly swung the hammer ruthlessly down on the senile looking old man's head
*BANG*
with a loud bang dirt and dust scattered in the air as the earth hammer exploded on impact with Rex and fragmented
”...you know that's rude to interrupt an old man while he's is talking about the past”
a carefree voice sounded out and as the dust cleared Rex stood completely unharmed with one hand lifted over his head in a defensive stand as his remaining green eye let out a cold glare that seemed to lower the surrounding temperature several degrees for a few seconds before he returned to a harmless old elf
”well i guess i went a little to far, are you okay little lady?”
Looking down at Chloe lying on the ground face first twitching lightly Rex semmensed a little concerned as he kneeled down and poked her for a few seconds before she shoot up from the ground into the arms of Isabel rubbing her teary face on her slightly hard leather armor
”thank you Isabel, that senile old elf almost killed me!”
looking at the chaotic scene he had seen so many times before Alvin recovered from his embarrassment had a weary smile for a few seconds before he put on a stern face commanded his squad
”Attention squad”
hearing the command from the captain Chloe, Isabel and Rex all shut up immediately and kneeled down on the ground with one knee and waiting in silence before Alvin spoke again
”Rex why do you think we haven't run into any stealth acid spiders despite being in their territory for so long?”
hearing his captain's question Rex pondered for a few seconds before answering in a serious tone
”well there are several possible explanations but i think the most likely is that either they have been wiped out by another magic beast, or they have moved their nest or...”
looking at the old elf kneeling in front of him going silent Alvin got a little impatient for an answer before he had a thought and said the at the exact same time as Rex
”the entire nest is hunting another prey”
also looking up Isabel seemed to catch what they were talking about and nodded with a smile that showed how proud she was of her little brothers wit, while Chloe on the side felt a little left out and asked with a slightly confused expression
”captain what does that mean?”
”well it means that the humans might be trying to invade the forest again that would match the smoke column we saw, if an entire army of humans have invaded the forest they might have caused a fire like that”
hearing the name off the race that was most hated in the entire Green river village Chloe showed a detrimend expression as something cold flashed in her green eyes and asked
”then what are your orders captain”
”if an army have invaded the forest we need to know how many they are... even if there is no human army the missing stealth acid spiders i enough to warrant further scouting”
as they heard the captain's orders all 3 elf stood up and gave him a resolute answer
”yes captain!”
