After taking care of the small fries , the team of adventurers and knights effortlessly handled the goblin generals .
Miles was staring at his exp gauge and saw that he was a little bit short from reaching level 80 after making sure he landed the finishing blow on most of the goblin generals and was pretty satisfied with the fight , but not everybody felt the same.
" I have had enough of this crap , how long are we supposed to keep this up " , Layla asked Gilliard.
Not that what she said was wrong they had been in the same position for almost two hours and the flame was getting hotter and hotter by the minute and in the next hour or two this part of the forest will also be consumed by the inferno .
" we just have to wait a little longer , Farhen should be here by now but he still hasn't come , he should have reported the status of his mission which is the last step of his mission in another for us to plan on how to take back the city , we just have to give him a little time he will be back soon " , Gilliard responded .
Hearing this statement the adventurers couldn't help but doubt if the assassin made it out of the city alive .
Meanwhile Farhen was slowly making his way towards the team he had lost a lot of blood on the way and was only able to move any further due to his determination to complete his mission .
Slowly and steadily he was making his way towards the team and will get their within a minute or so .
" No I... I have to complete my mission I have to " , Farhen kept saying like a mantra as he slowly made his way towards the team .
While still waiting for the arrival of Farhen , Miles was observing the team he was in and trying to gauge their over all strength if he was to guess how strong he was compared to the team he will be among the strongest , Sen the bodyguard of Layla would have been the strongest with his over 300,000 might but he wasn't part of the team and he had made that clear by not participating in the ambush against the goblin simply taking care of any goblin that came near Layla since she wasn't a melee type adventurer , she specialised with a bow which complimented her Mana affinity using her wind type Mana to boast the damage and speed of her arrows , If Sen was not counted Gilliard was undoubtedly the strongest with over 156,000 might followed closely by Bucky a warrior who used a giant hammer as his weapon with over 86,000 might , he was the third with his 82,000 might and was slowly overcoming the gap a level at a time .
While Miles was still observing the strength of his team a bloody silhouette could be seen slowly making his way towards their location .
" Farhen what happened ? " , Gilliard asked as he noticed the bloody figure of Farhen heading towards him .
Farhen who was now less than 10 meters away from Gilliard andknowing he had made it felt all the strength leaving him as he collapsed to the ground , but before he fell Gilliard was already beside him holding him from falling .
" Glien get over here , and heal him now " , Gilliard said calling one of the healers in the group .
" Mother's will " Glien chanted which caused a green healing aura cloak Farhen who felt a comfortable warmth from the spell.
After been healed for a minute Farhen was starting to get better and was no longer hanging on a single tread between life and death .
" What the heck happened in there " , Gilliard asked .
" It was a failure , I wasn't able to kill the shaman , that damn crystal kept protecting him " , Farhen replied.
Miles was shocked because he had assessed the assassin and seen that his might was above 100,000 meaning the shaman was far more stronger to put him in this state.
" Explain yourself " .
" The crystal created a barrier around him which I couldn't break and not to mention it was able to boast his magical abilities to a whole new ability , it was a miracle I was able to leave there alive " , Farhen stated .
" What , you mean you couldn't even kill him after wasting our time , you just go and mess up the plan what a useless fool , what do they even teach you in that royal knight school of yours " , Layla said.
" That's enough I might over look your blatant disrespect of my orders but I will not tolerate it if you dare abuse the royals " , Gilliard stated visibly angry .
From a very small age all knights of the kingdom had been brought up to always look up to the royal family and do what ever it takes to make sure they are protected and respected so seeing this little annoying brat abusing and disrespecting the royals made him mad .
" And what are you going to do if I don't stop " , Layla said daring Gilliard .
Before been cautioned by Sen
" Miss Layla it is unwise to go against the royal family " , Sen said .
Which shocked Miles so much that he taught he was dreaming .
' Are my hears deceiving me or something or did that statue talk ' Miles thought in disbelieve .
(;ꏿ_ꏿ;)
" What do you mean Sen , am just saying the truth " , Layla stated in anger .
" MISS Layla please do abstain from such words the consequences are dire " , Sen said with a worried look on his face .
' I always knew her mouth will be her downfall but why do she have to drag me down with her '
ಥ‿ಥ
' ...doesn't she know how wicked the Royals can be to those who disrespect them , it looks like I will have to start taking steps to leave this brat , no amount of money can buy my head ' Sen thought .
" Fine , but do know that I'll report your behaviour to father when I get back be ready for some punishment " , Layla said as she held her head up high .
" Thank you Miss " , Sen said will contemplating if he should start packing his things now .
(〒﹏〒)
' This girl will be the death of me ' , He couldn't help but think.
" Any ways back to the matter at hand , there as been a slight change in the plan , the shaman is still alive and we wouldn't be able to go ahead with our earlier plan , we will have to rethink our plan " , Gilliard said .
" Although this plan is very risky we don't have another choice , and we can't possibly wait for reinforcement it will take at least two days before they get here , we have to take care of the goblins now , if only we can kill the shaman or even get that Mana crystal " , Gilliard said.
' I guess I can help out in this way ' , Miles thought while raising his hands .
" What is it ..... " , Gilliard asked having not known Miles name .
" The name's Miles " .
" .... Miles do you have any thing to say "
" What if I can get the goblins crystal ? " , Miles asked earning a few disbelieve look .
" WHAT "
' Why are they so surprised ' , Miles thought while looking at the expression on their face .
