In a dark cave, a few shady people were discussing some extremely secretive matters.
"Things are going well. When Dunmei's main force arrives, we can launch a surprise attack openly!"
"I told you long ago not to think so simply! It's not likely that all the main forces of the kingdom will be summoned here for the sake of one beast riot! The Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons has a total of twelve teams. Although only one team came this time, the situation will be different next time! If four out of twelve teams come, then we can just turn tail and run!"
"Is the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons really that strong? Team 3 wasn't that impressive!"
Hearing this, a certain voice in the darkness did not want to speak, but he needed to explain this matter to him clearly.
"The larger the team number from Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons, the stronger the team! The new team captains are all assigned to join Team 1 to 4. After a year or so when they've achieved some significant results, they will be assigned to missions farther away.
"The farther they go, the more powerful they are. If the leader of the Team 12 comes at us, not to mention the beast riot, even a dragon riot won't faze them! However, all the teams after the Team 6 are dealing with the pressure from the surrounding countries. They don't have time to bother with us!"
"What if the captain of Team 5 comes?"
The person in the darkness immediately fell into silence. After a long time.
"When the time comes, I will personally take action. This way, at the very least, we will be able to hold our own when in the battle! We're definitely seizing Colchislo for our own this time!"
…
Due to the urgency of the situation, the Dunmei Dark Blade Dragons equipped them with a simple flying tool. It was similar to a paraglider, but this paraglider flew faster than an ordinary plane. It reached an astonishing speed of more than 260 kilometers per hour.
Clifford, who was not using his wind shield, had his mouth blown wide open by the speed in the sky. Seeing this, Locke immediately raised his hand and cast a wind shield spell on him.
"What's wrong with you? Why didn't you use a shield to protect yourself?"
Clifford, who had just regained his ability to speak, immediately scolded Locke, "It's all because of you, kid. I told you before I put on the Magic Paraglider!
"When we first took off, I told you to put up a shield for me, because it consumes a lot of magic when piloting. I need to save up my magic, so I told you to do it for me instead. I didn't expect you to just lean to the side and forget everything!
"To think you even have the nerve to ask me why I didn't put up a shield!"
Locke rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. The flight earlier had been too exciting, so Locke had completely forgotten about his mentor's request!
At this moment, Eliza had already woken up on Locke's body. With a flash of light, it appeared in the sky. Upon seeing this scene, it leaned on the upper end of the glider and spread its wings to facilitate the both of them to fly faster.
The two humans and one dragon took less than half a day to fly around Colchislo.
Because the glider was under Eliza's control, they were soon hovering over the city.
"Something's not right! Why are there so many magical beasts around?"
Looking down from above, there were countless magical beasts on the ground. There were probably over a hundred thousand of them.
Clifford immediately pointed at the mountains in the northeast of the town. "There's very likely to be a magical beast tamer who's behind this! It seems that they've pulled out all the stops this time around. They were actually willing to pay such a huge price to fight for Colchislo!"
One should know that a Beast Tamer required Magic Stones and other materials to train their magical beasts. A quick look told them it easily costed 100,000 Magic Stones to make this riot happen.
At this moment, Eliza seemed to have seen something delicious and immediately left the glider.
Due to the long flight, the lost glider's engine had been damage. The two looked at each other.
"Ah, Eliza, you'd better not come back, or else!"
Thankfully, the structure of the glider was still in perfect condition, and they did not fall vertically from the sky. With the support of flying and a little Light Body spell, they were forced to descend into the mountains.
After landing, he realized that there were no beasts or magical beasts in the usually lively mountain range.
Locke whispered, "Could the enemy be hiding here?"
Clifford immediately cast a wide area detection spell and discovered that there seemed to be traces of activity here. There were a lot of food packages piled up at the entrance to a cave!
Clifford was very experienced and he suspected that it was a trap. Nevertheless, they proceeded to check out the entrance of the cave.
After waiting for a while, a man in a black robe walked out with a huge bag. He tossed the trash that he had collected outside.
"We eat so much every day. All these trash are almost blocking the entrance of the cave!"
Then, he raised his hand and cast a fire spell, burning all the trash at the entrance into ashes.
However, the bloke did not think this through. It was a mountainous zone, and there were trees everywhere. Soon, the surrounding trees were burned, and the thick smoke entered the cave.
Seeing this, Rock and Clifford almost laughed out loud. But now was a critical moment, so they could only stifle it in.
Soon, five people ran out of the cave one after another. The leader pointed at the person who had come out to throw the trash earlier and shoved his hand at the back of the bloke's head.
"Are you an idiot? How could you do something like that?"
The one who was beaten seemed to be a subordinate. He helplessly and silently lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
The leader sighed and immediately casted a water spell to extinguish the fire.
When the smoke was almost gone, the five of them went back into the cave.
As soon as the five had disappeared into the cave, Clifford immediately said, "Did you see that? A total of five people, and no more!"
Upon hearing this, Locke rolled his eyes. "I know there are only five of them, but we only have two! There's no way we can fight them! Also, I don't know where Eliza is right now..."
As soon as he said that, the five people inside the cave ran out. They seemed to be in shock.
Within seconds, Locke knew what had happened. Eliza brought their food out of the cave and flew toward Locke. Under the watchful eyes of the five, Eliza flew directly toward Locke's hidden spot.
The seven of them looked at each other!
Quick on his toes, Clifford immediately cast an auxiliary spell and turned tail as he and Locke ran as fast as they could for their lives!
