[Forest past of the outpost]
Dashing through the thick forest that was brimmed with monsters, few shadows could be seen advancing at a fast pace through the forest without any problem at all
The shadows consisted of the scout team where Shun is currently located, at the same time this team also notices what Rengar has reported beforehand and confirmed that monsters could be seen scarce in most areas
Such phenomenon could only mean that the monsters are gathering somewhere and all the monsters they have encountered are rather only relay teams of the enemies
Leah who was assigned as a guide for this team is currently piggy riding on the back of Shun as they dash past the thick trees
Since this operation was considered as dangerous and need quick and precise movement, Shun has no choice but to carry her while on their way to their target spot
In order not to lag behind on the other scout members, Shun used some of his earned IP (Influence Points) to buy the necessary item on this run, using the points he bought the 'Boots of mobility' that let him run on a incredible speed and also resisting any debuffs
Since casting Leah's weight was considered as a slow debuff by the system, the 'Boots of mobility' automatically activated it's passive and removed the burden of Shun, because of that Leah was somehow was light as a feather to Shun
Beside Shun Rengar could be seen running beside him while at the same time heightening it's own beast sense's to its maximum alert degree
Seeing Rengar's determination even Yuumi's playful teasing attitude needs to reside and respect Rengar's tenacity
As they ran through the thick trees, one of the scout members an adventurer which had a thief job on it's status spoke up to Shun
"Are we doing this right? Isn't rallying together important in such events?"
As it asks this Shun replied
"That may be the case but if we did that, it will take us considerable amount of time just to scout the whole area... . . Especially if we suspects three different target location for the monsters to gather"
"..."
"For that I decided to split the scout team which consisted of 30 members to three groups which had 10 members each and designates them as team Alpha, Beta, and Omega... . . With this we can send the two teams to the other locations while we focus on one location... . . But indeed the risk of doing such things are high" added Shun
"I agree with that notion! Being ambushed by a high amount of monsters while having limited or few members is a bad thing and can already be considered as a lost cause" followed up by Leah
"If that's the case then... . ."
But before the certain scout member could say anything else Leah immediately followed up her words
"That's why we need to do this even if we had no choice since we're not fighting against quantity here but rather with time" she said
When the scout member heard that he became silent as he realized that such thing could happen that will destroy the town if this goes on longer
As this happened Leah suddenly praised Shun from behind
"But still to think up something like this... . . Your quite a tactician yourself"
"Hehehehe! Of course praise me more! This level of tactic is nothing... . . In my hometown we play this certain game where we need to think drastic tactics to outplay the enemy because if we didn't then we will be team wiped and lose" said Shun as he remembers the days where he played a match in LoL for nearly one hour because of the enemy's tenacity and tactic causing him to heighten his thinking process to a meximum degree as he plays further
"What!... . . Are you guys playing war everyday?" Asks Leah in surprise that such games are being played by Shun's hometown acquaintances
"Well going in a battlefield every day and hour... . . You could say that" confirmed Shun
Hearing that Leah imagined the hometown of Shun as a war maniac town who enjoys battles like a children's game
"Scary... . ." That's what she thought in her mind
Hearing he reaction even Yuumi chuckled at her while Rengar reminicense the everyday war like days in the summoner's rift
"Hah! Good times" he murmured
As they goes on the magic crystal that Shun held glowed as a voice coming from other team spoke up to him
[Team Alpha! This is team beta... . . Target location B is clear! No monsters here]
[Team Alpha! This is team Omega... . . No monsters here either at location C]
Hearing that Shun gave out a prompt reply
[Team Beta and Omega! This is Team alpha over! Rally back at outpost over! Prepare for our return report over!]
As he said that both teams replied with
[Roger!]
[Copy that over! Team Omega pulling out over!]
At that kind of conversation Leah and Yuumi gave out a blank stare at Shun as they commented
"Well that was over exaggerated" commented Leah
"I know! Why did you even ordered them to talk to you like that? Like an military troop really?... . . And you should know that what your holding is a communication crystal right? And not some walkie talkies!"commented Yuumi
"What's your guys problem? It's only natural that this such situation, such addressed are necessary for the coordination of the team" pouted Shun
"You just want to experience doing military conversation" retorted Yuumi
"I totally agree with that!" Replied Shun
"How shameless" followed up Yuumi
"And I'm not ashamed of it" tried Shun while holding his head up high
With that even Leah couldn't help but smile wryly at Shun
"Hahaha! You guys are interesting" she murmured quietly
As they were having the conversation of their life they soon arrived at their target location and saw a large army of. Monsters gathered at one spot
"Looks like your right leader!" Commented one of the scout members
"Right on the money" added the other
As this was happening Shun begun to scan the place as he tries to locate the monster possible for this kind of phenomenon
When the scout team was busying themselves to gather information, Rengar himself used his beast-like instinct to determine the highest threat among the enemies
It is already given that since this was the case this time around, it is only natural that the monsters follow the strong and wise creatures rather than the muscle brained ones
With the experience of being a hunter for so long since childhood, Rengar quickly found the leader among the enemies numbers
"Master! Found him"
Hearing that Shun adruptly looked at the direction where Rengar is currently looking and widened his eyes in shock
"Impossible! Why is their a frost elf there?" He said in utter shock
Hearing the word frost elf, the other scout team begun to look at the assumed leader and gasp in surprise
"Impossible! Why is a frost elf be here even thought it's not winter yet?"
"It's must have been an exiled frost elf"
"Seeing this now only concluded that this will be a hard fought battle"
When the comments shots out from there and here, Shun begun to ponder for his next move, even Leah couldn't hide her shock upon realizing that a frost elf was responsible for this events
It was already given that frost elf are intelligent creatures and are adept to fighting with bows and arrows for long ranged to daggers for close range
First elf unique characteristics are it's blue skin and white hair that can be considered as totally different from normal elves
Some even considered frost elf as a part of the demon category and a demon version of the elves that is living peacefully in their nation
Due to first elves high intelligence, encountering against one and winning against it can be considered as an arduos task,.making them subjugating one as an A-Rank quest
When most of the scout member's where shocked from this revelation, only Shun himself felt excited as he got to use his head again this time to try to outsmart a smart opponent
His excitement was transmitted through Rengar and Yuumi causing them to smile back at him
But suddenly amidst their information gathering the frost elf begin to move and shot an arrow directly at Shun
Luckily Rengar immediately intercept the attack using his bone dagger, but unfortunately their location was found out due to his actions
In reply to that hostile act towards Shun, the anger that Rengar felt ballooned up to a boiling degree as his fur stands on hairs end as he bared it's sharp teeth and growled like a wild beast
"This skin and bones elf dares... . . " Growled Rengar In the heightened anger of his feelings, causing his hunter instincts to spike up dramatically
