Chapter 582 - Next Action (3) (2/2)

Half an hour later, Auron's group saw a patrol group of five soldiers passed by. Auron quickly gave the signal to attack. Two groups, along with his own group, attack these five soldiers.

The five soldiers were caught by surprise. With more numbers, Auron's group quickly killed these five soldiers. They didn't use much energy to kill these 5 people. After killing them, Auron ordered to cover the track.

An hour later, another patrol group came. This patrol group became Auron's group's prey. They quickly killed these 5 soldiers. Meanwhile, at another place near the main road, a fight happened.

Five groups under Auron surrounded ten Regalia's soldiers. These soldiers were dispatched here to search for the first patrol group that went out of contact.

The soldiers, who were dispatched here, had already kept their guards up. However, they never thought that there would be so many enemies. The enemies were double their size. Moreover, they were caught by surprise.

When the battle concluded, another 10 Regalia's soldiers died. Julia, who was among these five groups, reported to Auron.

Auron, who heard the report, quickly recalled all of his soldiers. They backed out. Regalia had already found about their presence, so they would send more soldiers here. And, to preserve their energy and numbers, they could not fight head-on. Hence, Auron decided to back first.

Auron's guess was correct. Not long after Auron pulled all of his troops, A group of hundred soldiers dispatched from Masdul City. They arrived at the main road.

The leader among the hundred quickly shouted, ”Form a group of 10 people! Then, search these bastards! I believe they should still be around here! If you found them, give the signal and delay them as long as you can. We need to eradicate these Gaia's bastards!”

Auron had backed out as far as to their original assigned position. Hence, the Regalia's soldiers who went on search could not find anything. They had never thought that the soldiers would come from Puwit City's direction and would venture that far to arrive here.

The Regalia's soldiers, who searched, reported back to the leader that they could not find anything. The leader pondered for a bit. Then, he said, ”Form two groups and expand the search area! I will go back to the city and ask the other cities to do some search!”

Auron had settled down around his assigned area. He felt that they would be safe from the search. Even if the enemies came here, he knew that they would not dispatch a lot of soldiers this far. Hence, he felt relaxed. However, to be safe, he still sent a messenger to Smite's group to explain what they had done and encountered.

Auron didn't know about Regalia's leader's decision. But, by reporting to Smite, he had done something good.  Auron's decision would bring unpredictable outcomes to Smite's plan.

One hour later, Smite received the report. He frowned and ordered a pulled out. He pulled every group under him, including Auron's group. Smite didn't forget to emphasize his seriousness in this by giving a time limit and punishment towards the late group.
