Chapter 31 Part5 (2/2)
”Then, shall we find the right route?”
[Alright.]
[A true Giant needs no plan... No, I got it. d.a.m.n!]
”We just need to worry about a few of the corps. If they approach from here and come out like this, then... We just need to fight this guy, this guy, and this guy.”
Though they were now rotten Giants, there were some things they knew that were helpful to Lee s.h.i.+n Woo. A side road to the forest, a route that was easy to travel on, as well as where the giant boulders lay, which would make it difficult for others to move through the road!
If he added all that into his minimap, then he would have an effective topographic map. And if he were to add in the info that Rem had acquired, then it was a piece of cake to make an operation consisting of infiltrating and exiting.
They would break through the weakest and lax corps, and acquire a way to approach and a way to retreat. When the two level 7 elite Corps Commanders were confused and diverting their attention, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo would steal the artifact and escape! That was Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's primary objective.
”We'll kill the first ones that we come across. You don't need to kill all of them. You just need to kill their leader.”
[So you want to kill their commander.]
”And before that chaos spreads elsewhere, then we'll strike the main force's... leader. After we kill him, then we'll come down and regroup.”
[You want me to procure an escape route.]
”That's most important.”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's black goblin fire gazed into the Giant's rotten eyes as if penetrating through them. Nothing else needed to be said. The Giant nodded its head.
[I've already told you that I'd cooperate with you in order to protect the t.i.tan's Pride.]
[But if the result displeases us, despite us following your orders, then you'll have to repay that debt.]
”Of course, do as you please.”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo snorted and replied. He would act however he could if it meant that he could suppress their pride and make them follow his orders.
”Alright. We'll split up here. Move!”
[Don't betray our expectations!]
[That 'pride' you spoke of. Make sure you prove it!]
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo had used a liberal amount of mana to active the Command skill, mixed with the Instigate skill, and after the two Giants responded trustworthily, they divided into two groups and left.
One of the two groups would find the road to approach while the other would find a retreat route. If those two killed the weaklings and fl.u.s.tered Metafel, then Lee s.h.i.+n Woo would seize that opportunity fair and square and take the artifact away from them!
”Jin... I'm counting on you.”
”You only act serious at times like this.”
”Let's go.”
”...Humph!”
Jin replied curtly, yet couldn't hide his contentedness as he kicked off the dangerous mountain road and began to run. Jin loved this moment the most; when Lee s.h.i.+n Woo trusted in Jin and entrusted his body to him. Because this was the moment that Jin could prove his worth through the running he was so proud of!
[Kuhahk!?]
[Giants!]
[I heard that the Giants had all weakened... Kuaaaaaahk!]
While charging, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo saw one of the low rank level 6 elites get torn apart. As expected, there was no way they were normal level 7s. Even if he were to strip away 99% of what they (the ones who inherited the t.i.tan's Pride) said as lies, the Giant Tribe was still amazing!
[Kuhaaaaaaaaaaah! The t.i.tan's... Pride!]
”Make sure you prove that remaining 1%!”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo shared his thoughts with Jin, and Jin ran quickly. Due to the sudden appearance of the Giants, the troops were shocked and broke rank. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo pa.s.sed by them, and boldly pierced through the side of the slowly moving troop that was protecting both the compa.s.s and Metafel.
[Hmm? To think that there would be one so foolish as to face our troops head-on in such a short period of time... Wait a sec, this is a glacial mountain range, so how can such a small undead be here? No, what is all this fuss about anyway? All forces, calm down! Calm down and face the enemy! There's only one enemy!]
Metafel quickly noticed Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's intrusion and narrowed his eyes, but in any case, his first priority was to strike down the one who looked down on his troops and picked a fight with them.
He angrily scolded his troops, which were in a state of panic. He possessed the highest level of Command amongst all the 12 generals, at the high rank! Even amidst Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's limitless speed, the undead troops got a hold of themselves and attempted to surround him. However...
”You idiots. Protect Sir Metafeeeeeeeeeeel!”
[What the h.e.l.l is he talking about!?]
He was one step ahead of Metafel!
[A perfect Instigate! You took advantage of the opportunity and used Instigate to mislead your enemies! The Instigate skill has become Lv7. Magic has increased by 20.]
[The enemy troops are under the effect of Lv7 High Rank Command. You will not be able to fool them for very long. If there is something you want, then you must steal it immediately!]
Once Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who'd suddenly intruded, said something so absurd, Metafel became completely fl.u.s.tered. Then, an even more disconcerting situation arose.
[T-That's right! Someone has trespa.s.sed, so we have to protect Sir Metafel!]
[Sir Metafel is in danger!]
[Sir Metafel... I will protect Sir Metafel!]
[What are you guys doing!?]
His men, who had faithfully followed him since his mercenary days, suddenly surrounded Metafel to protect him! Metafel was taken aback and browbeat them to get a hold of themselves, but the energy of the Instigate skill that surrounded them wouldn't be so easily dispelled.
[Get a hold of yourselves, you idiots!]
Whenever he gave an order, Metafel used the high rank skill, Lion's Roar, and forced his subordinates to calm down. As expected of the Mercenary King to have such a skill, as he was so adept at leading...
[What...?]
By the time Metafel had managed to calm his troops down, push them back, and barely regain his vision, the wagon that his troops had been guarding so carefully... to be exact, the magical device within it had already vanished without a trace.
