Chapter 215 - Demonic Stick (1) (2/2)
Auron checked the member's belonging thoroughly. Fortunately, he found nothing prohibited, so he didn't have to do anything. Then, he told his members to group together and distributed the military's ransom one by one.
When he finished all of that, Lieutenant Kajo, alongside the colonels, arrived at the scene. Without any command from the Lieutenant, all of the colonels spread out and found a place. The others knew what this means as they began to walk to their assigned colonel.
Auron and the other squad's leader began to walk to Colonel Scud and began reporting. When Colonel Scud found nothing amiss, it was his turned to check the leader's belonging. The colonel also found nothing wrong, and he finished his checking session and reported back to the Lieutenant.
One by one, the colonel began to report back to the Lieutenant about their respective teams. When all of the colonels finished their reports, Lieutenant Kajo started to talk. He briefed all of them briefly.
When Lieutenant Kajo had done with all of the briefing, he commanded all of the troops, ”Okay, let us set out to destroy the demonic stick! Go!”
With that command, all of the teams began to walk in an orderly manner. They walked without destroying the formation. Their speed was not fast but also not slow. Their destination was the village where Auron fought the Fourth Prince.
All of them teleport using the teleportation gate. As the troops' destination's village had no teleportation gate, they could not teleport directly to the village. That was why Lieutenant Kajo chose the nearest town to their destination village.
From that town, Lieutenant Kajo, alongside his troops, began to walk to the village on foot. This entire journey took them about 5 hours. Fortunately, during their trip, there was no attack from the Regalia's spy or the nearby monster.
After around 5 hours of walk, they arrived in the vicinity of the demonic sticks. There were still quite some distances between their place and the village. The location of the demonic sticks was not inside the village but outside the village. It was because when Chaotic Death used the demonic stick, he was in his way chasing the Fourth Prince.
The troops could feel the demonic aura kept on coming from the sticks. The demonic aura caused the area several meters from the stick void of life. The demonic aura caused the plant to wither and the soil to dry. It also kept nearby monsters from coming near the demonic sticks.
However, Auron felt that the demonic aura which was coming out from the sticks somewhat weaker than the demonic aura coming from Bleamen. He knew that the demonic aura would not stay this thin all the time. With enough time, the demonic aura would grow stronger. And, when the aura was strong enough, it would summon a new demonic monster.
Lieutenant Kajo began to observe the area. Beside him were the ten colonels. There was nothing wrong with the field except the demonic aura. There were no enemies spotted, no monster spotted, and there was only one demonic stick. However, he didn't know how dangerous was this little single demonic stick was.
