After a few minutes of debating, the leader commanding all groups decided to use David's strategy, as someone who knows goblins behavior he knew it will work, and this strategy not only will make the mission easier to finish, they also get more benefits, but before that, he asked first about David's reason why they should use this strategy.
David immediately replied and explained.
"If you understand the situation, it's better to use this strategy, not only we can finish our mission easily, we can also get more benefits from the government if we execute it perfectly.
Saving this village will only be a hindrance for us that's why we need to destroy it if you don't want more casualties, besides if we took a photo about the condition of the village I'm sure they will understand it"
"But, do you have any materials to create a trap?" He asked.
Hearing that, David grins as he knew that he will agree to the strategy.
"We don't need material, I already have someone in my group that can use a trap using magic." Said David as he already has someone in mind to do the work.
...
"Where is David?" Asked Tommy to lux looking for David.
"He went inside the tent to discuss something with the leaders. Why are you looking for him?" Lux questions Tommy.
"Nothing just curious where he went" he replied.
...
The two quietly guarded the frontline in case an opponent attacked.
Then lux looked at him with thoughtful thoughts before he decided to teach Tommy a skill while there are still more time to spare.
"Tommy, follow me" he called Tommy.
Tommy hesitated at first and has many questions on his mind but he reluctantly followed him.
Tommy and lux arrived at a place where no one can see them. Tommy asked lux why he brought him here.
"Why did you bring me here?" He asked.
"Remember? I told you to teach you a skill" lux answered.
"You will teach me here?"
"Yes"
"But, why now?"
"This skill is just simple but not easy to perfect, so all I have to do here is just to instruct you how to do it" lux explained.
"Then, doesn't that mean it's a weak technique if you only need to Instruct me, since it's a weak skill then I just wait till you teach me a stronger one" Tommy said as he walk back.
"It's S-rank skill Tommy"
After hearing that Tommy rushed back towards lux and begged him to teach him the skill.
"Please teach me," he said with sparkling eyes.
"O-okay" lux agreed with a surprised look because of Tommy's behavior.
...
"Then, let me explain to you how to do it. This skill is called sword aura, you can only attain it after fighting countless battles and training, also, the power you need to use is not mana but soul energy." Then, lux pull out his sword and put his soul energy on it.
After putting his soul energy into the sword, the sword lit up because of the blue energy wrapping the entire sword.
The energy is so calm that even Tommy was attracted to it, unlike others' energy, they can destroy the surrounding area just by injecting it into the sword, yet lux energy is so calm and you can feel that it's being loved and accepted by the nature. The energy looks the same as mana and not at the same time, but the power is completely different.
After showing Tommy the technique, lux swings it towards the house beside them.
Boom...
In an instant, the house was cut in half, not only that but, it also destroyed the area behind it, because of the power it showed, the entire area of the target was destroyed and the shockwave it produced destroyed the house nearby.
Boom...
Tommy's jaw dropped as he watched the houses being demolished in one swing in front of him.
...
The Shocked made Tommy in a daze for a few seconds as he couldn't mutter a word after seeing it's power.
After showing it's power, lux put the sword back and asked Tommy if he managed to understand his instruction.
"So, do you get it now?" He asked.
"Ho.."
"Ho?"
"Holy shit, what was that?" Tommy screamed in shock and asked for an explanation about the skill after seeing it's power.
"I told you it's a skill I want to teach you," he said.
"Really? Then teach me now" Tommy forced lux to teach him.
...
Lux once again explained to Tommy how to do it.
After hearing lux explanation, Tommy tried to copy what lux did.
Just like what lux said, Tommy filled his soul energy into the sword. After a few seconds of concentrating, The sword lit up with golden energy wrapping the entire sword, although the soul energy is not strong enough to last for 5 minutes, Tommy still did it.
Tommy noticed the color is different compared to lux and asked if he did it right.
"Did I do it wrong?" He asked.
Hearing Tommy's question, lux smiled and said. "You did it right, the reason why the color is different is that everyone has different kinds of soul energy, the soul energy is based on your personality, your energy is way too energetic and filled with happiness that's why you have a golden soul energy, also, look at your soul energy it's giggling and moving on it's own, it means that your soul energy is copying your behavior" lux explained the entire details to make Tommy feel assured.
"Really? Then that means I learned a new skill" he said as if he was waiting for lux's response for confirmation.
"Yup"
Hearing that, Tommy's expression got brighter than the sun.
While Tommy is being happy that he learned a new skill, lux smiled for him, but that mood disappeared as he realized something.
Realized...
'Wait...wait...wait...wait...wait... No... No... Wait... How the fuck did he do it in one try? No... In the first place, how was he able to fucking use his spirit energy easily? And that golden spirit earlier wasn't it a fucking holy spirit?' Lux was in a daze as he couldn't believe that the technique he spent years to complete was easily mastered by a kid.
Then, lux realized there is only a few people who have the holy spirit and knew that they are not ordinary people, these people are the only ones chosen by the gods.
"Then, Tommy is" lux was about to mutter a word but he heard Takeshi's voice looking for both of them.
Lux has many questions but decided to leave it for now and came to the location where they heard Takeshi's voice with Tommy.
Lux secretly turn off the barrier as they walk towards Takeshi without Tommy noticing it. The purpose of the barrier is to make sure that no one will be able to hear what they talk inside because of the technique, if somehow it was leaked to outsiders then, lux is in trouble that's why he secretly put a barrier before teaching Tommy. Lux planned to only teach Tommy how to do it and let him train on his own until he finally mastered it but, he can't believe he mastered It in a second, and that broke lux pride.
As they walk closer, Takeshi immediately noticed the two and called them.
"Where did you guys run off to?" He questions them.
"We were just wandering around," Lux replied.
"Anyway, let's go already, David told me to find you since you two disappeared suddenly," he said.
"Find me, why?" Lux wonder why he called him suddenly.
"I don't know he just told me to find you" he said.
"Let's go then, maybe it's an emergency," said Lux.
The two nodded and goes back to the frontline.
...
The three arrived at the frontline. After bringing back the two, David explained the details to lux, lux immediately understand that the strategy they created was approved by the leader and knows what to do.
...
30 minutes later...
"So, it's just us now huh," Wilbur said.
"We are responsible for making a trap so it's obvious that we are the only one left here." Lux replied.
"I guess so" he replied.
With that, both lux and Wilbur began setting up traps.
Meanwhile...
The others began to attack the territory of the goblins as a part of the strategy, because if they don't do it, the strategy might fail. Attacking and retreating is a part of the strategy to trap the goblins and if they don't attack now the goblins might find it suspicious and discover the traps.
The people who went there are only skilled warriors while others went back to the production area or should I say their current base.
...
After 3 hours...
The warriors who attack the enemy base came back without any casualties as the leader behind this attack is david, a strong warrior capable of defeating the entire goblins alone, but decided to rely on the strategy since it will be a waste of time. Now that he came back, it was right for him to use a strategy after knowing the number of enemies they fought just a while ago. The number of goblins is almost 5 thousand in total, david was shocked to see the number of their enemies but since he is the leader of the group, they were able to kill thousands and came back without casualties, some has severe wounds but not life-threatening and with the help of Wilbur potions, everyone was healed instantly.
On the other side, the goblin chief was furious to see thousands of his kind is now lying on the ground lifeless. The chief immediately ordered his warriors to attack the village and ambush them during the nighttime.
With that, the strategy to lure them is a success, all that's left is to annihilate them all.
