As Amber hesitated, grappling with the moral implications of Erik's suggestion, Mira looked at them. Amber understood they were in a war, but using her power on so many people didn't sit right with her. These might have been enemies, but they were still people.
"Wait, Erik. I think we should hold off on any imdiate action." The older woman wanted to give Amber so help.
Erik, his brow furrowed, turned to face Mira with a questioning look. He was confused by their hesitation.
He knew Amber had a gentle and caring nature, which made her uncomfortable in using her powers on so many people. However, Erik struggled to understand why they didn't grasp the urgency of their situation.
This was a war, and sotis harsh decisions had to be made quickly. He found it perplexing that they couldn't see the necessity of taking imdiate action. However, Mira wasn't stupid, and for sure, wasn't that compassionate. If she said it would be better to wait, there was a reason.
"These people could give us information. We could learn about their plans, steal important docunts, or even sabotage their operations from within."
She paused. "Besides, we're even unsure if they've loaded everything yet or if this is the shipnt we've been waiting for. It would be better to observe them for a while, gather intel, and then make our move, and that move, I suggest, would be to call the Chimaeric Demons and make them take care of all of this."
Erik considered Mira's words. It wasn't like he didn't think about this, but simply wiping out these people would have been faster.
It would have made the Chimaeric Demons less busy, and it would have made the front lines shift north.
After a mont, he nodded. "All right." He turned to look at Amber. "Sorry, I will try to avoid asking you this unless necessary."
Amber said nothing, but it was clear there was relief in her look. It wasn't like she wasn't willing to fight, or to kill, but to do so much wasn't easy, at least for her.
"What now?" Emily asked. They all turned to look at Erik. "I will go give a look inside, see if I can find so useful information for us, then co back and call the Chimaeric Demons. I will make them so new eggs, so that they might be able to work more efficiently."
With a deep breath, Erik channelled mana through his neural links, his body beginning to shift and change. In a matter of seconds, he had transford into a tiny, unassuming fly, his clothes falling to the ground in a heap.
Erik told to June.
The others watched in amazent as the fly took flight, buzzing towards the cave entrance. Erik went through the bushes surrounding the cave entrance. Then he wove between leaves and branches.
As it approached the cave entrance, Erik observed the soldiers loading more crates.
