"Victory."
Many warriors rose their wine cups and shout.
Claiming the victory before the end of the war, it is only doing by the stupid people.
From this gathering people, Moesat got only bad news. He never wanted gold, he only want Gold Iron metal.
Now the reward for the quest is in complicated situation, if he is late to submit the killing the Chico birds quest or if he late for claiming the reward would miss the Gold Iron metal.
But there were always pros and cons in many situations and some loophole in many situation.
People should not think only one side, people should look the situation from every different sides.
.
So,
Moesat take the guild master of Mekok town to quiet place and,
"I would like to trade my gold to Gold Iron metal as the tenth prince said. Twice size of gold for Gold Iron metal."
There were many possibilities in the reality, so Moesat tried to walk in easy way if another way is blocking his paths.
The guild master did not reply but he stare at Moesat face and waiting for something or thinking.
"I do not need a lot of gold iron metal just one feet diameter Gold Iron metal ball." Moesat told what he needed to tell.
.
Now the answer from the guild master came out,
"Thrice size of gold."
When the people noticed about other people difficulties, they took that as their opportunities.
"I do not have too much gold, I only have three thousand gold coin, and from that you could get twice size of gold plus more than hundred gold extra for you."
Gold coin three thousand is around two feet diameter ball and extra some gold, so Moesat told him in the truth.
With three thousand gold a family could live as rich for their life time but gold iron is more important for Moesat.
And 100 gold is not small amount but greed is greed,
"So, I can give you a smaller Gold Iron metal ball for three thousand gold coin." The guild master replied with happy inside.
He did not do a thing but money walk into his pocket on it own. So if he is not happy and who should?
.
Moesat needed to test the metal in refine and absorb it, and low amount of gold iron metal could not get the proper test result.
Testing may be done with just a small amount or may be they would need a lot more Gold Iron metal.
"We would be needing one feet diameter sphere size metal, could you make it easy for us?"
Moesat tried,
.
"Sorry No,"
The guild master answer.
.
"So Be It."
Moesat turn back and left without trading it. He could not deal with too much greedy person.
Guild master waited for Moesat return to him, as he was thinking that Moesat was pretending to leave but Moesat did not return.
.
Trading with the guild master is not the only way for Moesat, there were many other ways.
First...
They could directly rob the gold iron metal from the guild master, if there is a situation give them any opportunities in the future.
Or second..…
Trade their three thousand gold with other people gold iron metal.
Anyway, they have to get this Gold Iron metal in their hand on it one way or another. And they could not wait for another rare metal.
…..
Moesat did not have time for wasting only on Gold Iron metal, he needed to do something else.
That was mining map,
There were something buried deep in the ground near mining place. So they need the mining map.
Mining map is not important in normal situation but if Moesat go and ask for it…
Then the situation would change same like the guild master. They would make him harder to get it, and these people would also notice that there is a treasure down there.
.
In reality, if there is a treasure buried and someone who found it,
Should that man shout it to inform to all other people that 'there is a treasure'?
Or took it quietly in secrete?
.
Moesat would not stupid to shout to all other, so he go easy way.
The easy way is….. steal the map.
.
While many other were drinking, Moesat quietly went into town head house. There were some guards but no one interest to guard the house and they were more interested in having fun.
Stealing a map is not the mission impossible so Moesat got the map easily.
Actually they did not steal it, they just copy it.
If an item is missing and people would think 'this or that'.
That could lead some complicate situation, for that reason they copy it.
…..
On the day of attacking,
There were more than eight thousand warriors, and they were in high spirit and march toward the rocky place.
There were some weapon stage warriors and five weapon ability stage warriors were hidden within eight thousand.
Two bodyguards of the tenth prince, elder Park and leader of cloud field sect, the last is alone warrior Soi Li.
.
Before they went, Moesat told elder that 'do not look for him' and to keep safety for their own.
But Moesat did not needed to warn them as all elders were worried about Chico Birds scheme. They all did not know what was Chico birds group aim and objective.
Royal Dragon disciples who challenged Kan Youn were never found in Mekok town or in warrior group,
So all of elders did not want Kan Youn to go in the rocky place and fight with chico birds but Kan Youn did not listen.
As a hero, he took the bet so seriously.
.
Same as before, Moesat group were following the big group from behind.
Even a big group went in ten miles deep into the rocky place, there were no Chico birds.
.
Moesat and Areum went into the mine while no one notice about them.
The tunnel walls were ten feet high and wide, with the mixture of metal and stone, these were very strong wall.
But these walls could not prevent from collapsing if there is powerful warriors fight in the tunnel.
There were four ways down to deepest part of the mine and leading to different direction.
Lu Lu could not sense where about the treasure or which tunnel would be leading to the treasure.
So they just chose nearest one tunnel to go down.
….
When the big people group arrived twenty miles into rocky place and the fight started.
Around fifty thousand of birds were swamping out and attacking human with war strategy.
And they surround the human main group and attack from all side.
As soon as human group saw the quantity of birds, they slowly retreated.
The human army was leading with war strategy, so they were calmly move back out from the depth.
Chico birds were not rush to attack, they were trying to control their dead lost of their lives.
So the battle took long and human were slowly back out.
….
Human group back out ten mile and lost around two thousand lives but Chico birds were only lost less than five hundred.
If it is continue at the same rate of retreating, and many human would escape from the rocky place.
.
At that time a group of strong birds came out from deep within the rocky place, they circle around the battle field toward rocky place exit.
And they attacks head on toward human group from the human retreating route.
In that group one bird is very different from other, it has very big pair of wings.
Because of that strong Chico birds attacks from the human retreating way, human group stopped from their retreating and many people die from birds attack.
The leader bird wings were not only big, it is also very strong, it used the wings and attacking on people.
And the leader birds rotate itself in the air and many feathers were shooting down like daggers on the human group
The leader bird is a weapon ability stage and it has AOE feathers shooting weapon ability.
With only one shot, many people die and too many got injured.
And the strong bird group ferociously attack on human group from retreating ways, so human group have to retreat back into deep rocky place.
.
But there were always pros and cons sides, and the haste of Chico bird made mistake.
First mistake was notice by human,
These birds did not want human group leave this place, so they were not guarding this rocky place. But they were trapping people.
They wanted people die in rocky place mean, they were hunting people as food for them.
.
Second mistake was,
There were weapon ability stage human warriors in the group too,
So,
Two human weapon ability warriors attack at the leader bird, when the leader bird finished it's ability usage and it went back down on the ground.
A big axe is flying with fast speed and power strike on the leader bird.
A very big sword shape phantom slashed down from above of the leader bird.
That two attacks was from bodyguards of the tenth prince.
.
The leader bird used it wings to defend that two attacks but two abilities are too much for it alone to defend.
It wings got injury and it was blown away.
.
There were many illusion like arrows raining down on the strong bird group which were blocking the retreating way.
That was from another weapon abilities stage warriors Soi Li.
After that human pushed their attack to unblock the way.
…
The leader bird which got injury did not listen to other advice before and rush down to attack on human.
When the human army retreated, and the leader of strong bird thought, they were already winning and it acted on it own.
When it got injury, it neglected its' pain but it could not ignored its' pride, that got hurt.
The leader bird did not call out for help when it got blown away. And it stand up back on the ground.
The shame of anger was lit in it mind. A mere human group could hurt him that much?
.
And he saw a small group of human were hidden near where he was standing, so, to release his anger of shame, he decided to kill that group.
It is pain in his both wings, so he used his leg to rush at the group before that group run away.
.
Any way, today is not his day of luck. The leader bird anger made his mind clouded and he did not notice that small group of people did not intension of running away.
When the leader bird got near to that small group people,
Wind sword slash,
Many wind blade were slashed down on him, that was Cloud Field sect master weapon ability with wind sword attack.
And a big pole light beam from elder Park strikes on him.
Both attacks were more powerful than two attacks before, now the leader bird life is in danger.
He ignore it pride and he shouted for help.
.
The leader bird screaming is vibrating in the air through out the whole rocky place.
And the leader bird blown away again, it stood up again and run away without looking back.
.
Elder Park group noticed about the leader bird calling for help, so they did not continue attack on that leader bird.
They rushed and attacked on the strong group of birds that blocking the retreating human way.
…..
The mine tunnels were same like old mining place on earth.
To went down to deeper place, they used pulley lift and they used trolley to carry heavy things.
The miners were relying on Metgiktran power to carry out mining in this tunnel.
.
There were no Chico birds in the mine, it looked like these birds did not come for this mine.
Moesat and Areum quickly went down in one tunnel to the deepest part of mining place, but Lu Lu still could not sense the treasure all the way down to here.
So they went into another tunnel to the another deepest place but still they could not found it.
Instead of what they were looking for, they found Gold Iron metal vein. This is the reason that the guild master has too much Gold Iron metal.
.
As in normal time, Moesat group would be happy to find it but for now they did not have time to dig.
So, they got back up to higher ground for another junction of the tunnel.
At that time, Lu Lu gave out warning,
"Chico bird, weapon ability stage."
