Ah Dai pulled Xuan Yue behind him, attracting the murderous intent of the four skeletons to himself, and said to Blood Skull, "To the leaders of the Skeleton rcenary Group, I don’t want to dwell on what happened between us previously, I think we all know who was right and who was wrong. Chairman Mulat has already said that what we are facing ahead are the bandits, not strife among ourselves. If you seek revenge later, feel free to co find us. But for now, I hope there will be no more conflicts. President Mu, you can start discussing the plan now." A faint authority emanated from Ah Dai, the invisible pressure made the hearts of the four skeletons tremble, the scenes previously encountered in the forest flashing continuously through their minds, pacifying their urge to kill gradually.
Mulat tried his best to calm his emotions and with a forced smile said, "My fellow leaders, let’s all calm down. It’s been a long ti since the caravan last ca here. If it were not for transporting spices, we would not have ventured here. However, these spices are critical for the Guild, so we cannot afford any mistakes. We’re not very familiar with the changes in the Tian Jing Mountains over the past few years, but I’ve heard from a friend that there are more bandits here than before, and so of them are quite formidable. Hence, we must not be careless. The enemy holds the terrain advantage, leaders, what are your thoughts on how we should arrange our forces?"
Blood Skull pondered and said, "I also heard there have been so changes in the Tian Jing Mountains. Since we are already here, we can’t turn back now. Let’s set out at dawn tomorrow, with Heavy Cavalry Infantry and Light Cavalry guarding the front and rear, Archers in the middle, and I’ll lead the Assault Team ready for any contingencies. If elite enemies appear, our Assault Team will handle them."
Mulat nodded, looked at Ah Dai and Xuan Yue and asked, "Do the two of you have any suggestions?"
Ah Dai thought for a mont and said, "We have no objections. As for such large-scale operations, we are not very familiar. My brother is a Light Mage; his Support Magic and Healing spells are very skilled. It’s best for him to support everyone. As for , I’ll assist Blood Skull leader in dealing with the more difficult enemies."
As soon as Ah Dai ntioned that Xuan Yue was a Light Mage, the four skeletons simultaneously recalled the day Xuan Yue healed their serious injuries, and the atmosphere in the tent imdiately beca more harmonious. Wind Skeleton asked, "May I ask how far can your brother’s Light Magic reach? Our rcenary group mainly consists of Light Cavalry and Archers who are quite susceptible to injuries."
Xuan Yue pondered and said, "My magic can cover about a thousand ters radius. But large-scale recovery spells cannot be used for extended periods because the larger the area, the weaker the effect becos. Also, I can’t do much for very severe injuries or disabilities, so it’s still crucial for your people to be cautious."
"Ah! A thousand ters?" the four skeletons exclaid in surprise. Although their understanding of magicians was limited, they had never heard of a magician controlling such a vast area.
Xuan Yue seed not to have noticed their amazent and explained, "I’ve never tested the thousand-ter range before, but it shouldn’t be a problem. However, as you know, magic can’t last too long; magic power has its limits, so you must quickly clear the enemies."
Blood Skull reassured, "You can rest assured on that, our Skeleton rcenary Group mbers are all strong fighters and well-coordinated through extensive training. Unless the enemy’s strength is beyond our imagination, we will definitely eliminate them quickly."
Ah Dai added, "Brother, can’t you also cast Fire Magic? If the enemy’s attack is too strong, you can help us attack." He naturally referred to the energy from Phoenix’s Blood.
Xuan Yue shook his head and replied, "Fire Magic is too overpowering. One misstep, and the whole mountain could be set ablaze. Big brother, you’ve seen it yourself, the Tian Jing Mountains are lush, do you really want to damage this environnt here? You should also try not to use it unless absolutely necessary. If it really cos down to it, let Sheng Xie co out and play; it would definitely enjoy that." ntioning Sheng Xie, Xuan Yue couldn’t help but smile.
Ah Dai looked at the four mbers of the Skeleton rcenary Group and said indifferently, "We’ll see how it goes when the ti cos; perhaps all these arrangents might not be of any use."
Mulat laughed and added, "Yes! With the strength of your two rcenary groups, I believe the bandits might not even dare target us. It’s best if they do not appear at all. Peace is most important."
Wind Skeleton suddenly spoke, "Chairman, can I trouble you for one more thing? Although the main road through the center of the Tian Jing Mountains is quite wide, thieves usually attack from the sides, could you please have the caravan’s workers cut down so more trees here to make wooden shields for our Heavy Cavalry Infantry? This will be very advantageous in withstanding attacks from the sides."
Mulat gladly said, "That’s a thoughtful plan from Captain Wind. Alright, let’s do it. I will go imdiately." After saying this, he turned and left the tent. Wind Skeleton told everyone, "I will go help President Mu arrange for the dinsions of the wooden shields," and followed out.
