Chapter 32 - The Soul Manipulating collar 3

The ape tribe had a clear hierarchy , with the chiefs family being the most important in the tribe.

The current tribal chief -Mong Kong , was a very rare ape called a 'Vicious crowned fighting ape.' His son inherited a portion of his talent. Although he wasn't as talented as his father , the clan had great hopes for him.

Cabal , after going through 'treatment ' went around , slowly gathering information on the core of the tribe whilst it was making preparations to move.

Their location was currently to dangerous for them to remain here. Cabals plan required him to get close to the leadership of the clan. He needed to take this place down from the inside.

Helping with the clan preparations was really annoying , but Cabal knew his time would come. In the meantime , he continued to gather information on the clan as well as test the loyalty of its embers for the 'endgame,' that was coming.

Just like that , two weeks passed.

....

Renova frowned at the report she just received. The elf king stiff before a throne of molten lava , as she stared down on him in her child like body.

"Repeat what you just said ," she demanded , and the very clear hostility in her voice made the elf king shiver.

"U-um , y-your majes-majesty. The four groups of 'hunters' sent out to chase down and kill the group f adventurers reported and confirmed to have escaped the dungeon have mysteriously vanished. There was been no word from them for 8 days now. "

Renova silently clicked her tongue. Damn it. In such a situation, she couldn't afford to lose too many people from her forces. She'd sent 6 monsters from each of the four clans that served her as a way of showing that she didn't specifically favour anyone of them , in order to promote unity. But that seemed to have seriously backfired right now.

She tapped her fingers on her armrest , causing the temperature of her throne to rise and fall with each movement of her finger.

"When was the last time communication was established. "

The elf bowed down even lower , and said in a small voice. " Close to the elven city of Ilirea , deep in the Eldritch forest."

Renova sighed inwardly and started to plan how to proceed. She thought about sending the werewolves to do her dirty work, but Cabal had requested their assistance. She feared that withdrawing any of them might affect his plan and cause him to fail , which might place him in serious danger.

"Currently , do we have the location of the outsiders. "

The elf slowly shook his head, ashamed. "No my queen. It's like they vanished into thin air. If I didn't know any better , I'd have thought that they intentionally revealed their location. It would seem that they have a very powerful sorcerer among them. "

Renova nodded as she began to plan for the future. If she couldn't deploy the werewolves , and it looked like the best out of her subordinates wouldn't do. Should she step up herself?

At this she frowned. She thought of the entire situation again. Slowly and carefully , and analyzed it. Are hey trying to get me to move out?

That was the conclusion she came to. She couldn't think of any other reason for the actions of the humans taken so far.

Damn it.

Her amber eyes blazed with power as a tiny bit of her true strength leaked out along with her killing intent.

Have I been gone for so long that humans who are not kings think that they can deal with me?

The elf king shook as the temperature in the cavern instantly rose at jaw dropping speed. A red aura faintly pulsed from her , and instantly, it felt like a giant , monstrous bird was looking at him.

He didn't even dare to lift his head because he thought that her rage was directed at him.

After a moment, she slowly calmed down. "Take a team of elves , along with some of the fastest birds of prey you can get and scour the entire Eldritch forest. Find those humans, and then report back to me so that I might end this with mine own hand.

"If humans have forgotten the fear of the eight generals, I shall remind them. "

The elf king bowed deeper and slowly retreated, his head still lowered. Until she gave permission, he wouldn't dare to lift it.

Renova sat back in her throne and fazed off into the distance. "I wonder what you have planned to make you think that to you can deal with me. "

She chuckled as a light of excitement and bloodlust flickered in her eyes. In front of absolute power , all plans and preparations are nothing.
