Chapter 540: The Plan for the Next Battle

The lava monster is finally dead. And now, I’m helping the others defeating the rest of the mohawks. There seem to be around thirty of them left. Other than me who have defeated the most mohawks, it was Shelia who killed a lot of them. After that, it was Veronica, Arin, and Celestine.

Veronica has much more freedom in the sky after all. And Arin, although she can fly as well, she’s preserving her blood usage, so she killed less than Veronica. And Celestine, despite the fact that she focused more on the defense than the offense, she killed quite a number of mohawks as well.

As for Jewel, since she couldn’t fly, she didn’t defeat that many of them. Although she flew with the help of one of the soldier, it’s difficult to suddenly cooperate with someone you just met the first time after all.

As for Sara, she was busy with the shooting squads. Thanks to her, we can stop as many mohawks as we could from approaching the capital. And fortunately, we don’t have any casualties from the shooting squad. It would be too much for Sara if any of her students died. After all, it was her who suggested to bring these students to war.

It was not that long since they learned how good air magic is. It would be a shame if they became afraid in the end.

The shooting squads have proven themselves to be great assets in war. In the future, many air mages will be recruited as soldiers. And war will be fought using rifles and guns. Though I hope there won’t be any more war in the future. After all, I have united the four kings together to fight the cult.

That’s right. It was me who unite them.

.....

Well, maybe it’s not really me. But I should have some influence in getting them together, right? Right?

Anyway, thirty more artificial master level mages. Though this time, there’s no need to call Andro to intimidate the enemies again. And everyone, including the soldiers who were at most advanced level mages, have gotten used to fighting these artificial master level mages. After all, they are all wind mages. There’s no way we could be defeated when the enemies using the same attack pattern again and again.

Though they are still tough enemies to defeat for the soldiers.

I run around on the battlefield and kill the enemy that is causing a lot of trouble with their other element. Just like that, we decreased the enemy numbers quickly.

Soon enough, there were only three artificial master level mages left. And we have surrounded them.

“Three of them left. And they have exhausted their mana. Should we kill them, or bring them to Varadis to have their brainwashing undone? Though if by chance they have the slightest bit of mana left, they might kill everyone there,” I said.

We can just kill them, but we can also gain some new information if we can somehow erase their brainwashing using Russell’s magic. But it’s also dangerous since they are physically strong enough to break the collars if we put on them. That’s why I asked everyone’s opinion.

With the earth mages protecting us from the three mohawks potentially attacking us with wind magic, there’s no need for us to worry about them anymore. Though if we let them waste all their mana, they will just end up dying.

“Let’s just kill them. We have enough artificial master level mages captured. Those children should be enough for us to gain new information if there are any,” Jewel said.

“These people might be innocent people who ended up being used and brainwashed by the cult. But we don’t have enough power to save them all. I agree with killing them,” Celestine agreed with Jewel.

After that, everyone agreed that killing them is better since we can’t afford to keep too many prisoners or get every single artificial master level mage to have their brainwashing undone by Russell. It will also give too much burden to Russell as he’s the only one who can do it. And there will be more children to capture after this. Wait, that sounds like we’re doing something bad. Capturing children... that’s kidnapping.

Anyway, we killed the three mohawks who have exhausted all their mana. If they keep fighting us, they will end up dying anyway since the artificial master level mages are not yet complete and will not be able to function properly after they lose all their mana.

Maybe that’s why the children were called as the perfect version of the mohawk by the Professor. They won’t just die after they wasted all their mana. Though I have no intention on fighting them until they got exhausted. I need to bring them to the Noise Jail fast. That’s what I called the prison where the children will be transported to as Noise Jail. Where the children will listen to the noise at all time.

“Alright, the fight is finally over. But there should still be more of them. What should we plan next? My suggestion is to bring the tired soldiers back to the capital so they can protect the kings. There were some mohawks that managed to break through our defense here after all,” I suggested.

“Let’s get Sonia to talk with the kings first. We need their opinions as well,” Jewel said.

Oh, as expected of her. She made a sound suggestion. She’s right though. It’s not something that we can decide for ourselves.

“Alright. Everyone, get some rest first. We’ll talk again after Sonia returns,” I said.

Everyone is so tired. We just fought the artificial master level wind mages, and we are this tired. What if we fight the next mohawks? Fire mohawks? Ice mohawks? Earth mohawks? Lightning mohawks? And other mohawks? We won’t be able to do much then.

But at least, we managed to stop many quick mohawks. This way, they won’t be able to reach the capital sooner. Though for those we let go, I will also inform Albert to take care of them if possible.

A few minutes after informing Sonia, she returns with the order from the kings.

“Albert said that instead of transporting the soldiers back to the capital, it’s better if you make several bases to the capital from this fake village and fight them in each base. It’s impossible to fight everyone of them just in this one place. There will be more enemies escaped. If there are too many of them,” Sonia said.

Albert’s plan, after discussing it with Lynn, old man Henry, and Kayla, was like this. To make several more bases from the capital to this fake village, and have each bases protected. I will fight in every base. From this fake village, I will fight the mohawks. And when I can’t fight anymore, I will retreat to the base closest to the fake village, rest for a bit, and fight again when the enemies arrive while capturing the children.

As for the soldiers, after helping me in the fake village, I will transport them to the second base from this fake village. This way, they can rest a bit longer while the soldiers at the first base will fight next. And after I move to the first base and delay the enemies again, I will move to the second base while transporting the soldiers to the third base. It will goes on until we reach the capital.

As for the artificial master level wind mages who escaped us previously, there are many people who can fight them in the capital. There’s no need for us to return.

...Basically, they are going to work me to the bone. I will keep transporting children to Varadis, and then using portal to retreat before fighting them again and capturing some more children again soon after.

“Seems like I’m the only one who can’t get some rest,” I said.

“Then leave the bases building to me and Sara. We will ride on Spot to go there faster unless you have Blobbies placed already,” Celestine said.

Sara nodded to her, and they called Spot to ride him. Thanks to them, I don’t need to go check the location of the bases on my own. Their earth magic will be useful in building bases.

“Thank you, you two. Here. Although it looks like a huge single blob, it’s actually fifty Blobbies combined into one. Just place them in the bases one by one. Though I don’t think we will have fifty bases,” I said while giving Sara a huge blob of Blobbies. And Sara played with them since it feels nice to touch them.

The two, along with Spot, disappear into the sky. Even though it’s not much, it’s good that I can rest even just a little bit longer.

“I also received information from Arturo. They are done with cleaning the country, and they can lend you some soldiers along with Carmen. They agree that lending Carmen might be advantageous for us strategically since she can build a moat with the help of the earth mages,” Sonia said.

“...REINFORCEMENT! YEAH!” I cheered with the fact that we can get some more help.

After that, I told Sonia to tell those in Arturo to get ready and wait to be transported. With them, I hope the plan will go smoothly.
