Chapter 49 - The War of Verdant Town (1)

Lei Fu was drumming his fingers as a scowl was seen on his face. His spicy yellow hair standing straight up as if to show his rage. He was lounging in a chair as a man was kneeling before him in fear.

"It has been three days. Where the fuck is Kiegu!" Lei Fu said as he slammed his fist down on the couch.

"We don't know boss, he left for that town but we haven't received any word yet" the man began to sweat as he was about to become a scapegoat.

"Fucking Kiegu! Do I need to do everything myself?" Lei Fu spat

"Do you think something bad happened?" the man asked

"No, more like he's trying to take what is mine! How can a little town stop them? Call the brothers, it looks like Kiegu has revolted. We have a town to capture!" Lei Fu said as he stood up from the couch sparks flying around him as his anger was building.

He had trusted Kiegu to take the town for him and now he felt that he got backstabbed. Little did he know Kiegu was no longer living in this world.

Very quickly a little over one hundred thugs began to pack themselves into the bar, all of them despicable people as one could tell from their shifty eyes.

"You bunch stay here" Lei Fu pointed to a few of the thugs in the corner "Look after our territory here, if I come back and anything is wrong I'll kill you!" The thugs nodded as they swore to protect their territory with their lives.

"The rest of you lot, follow me. We are going to show traitors what happens when you backstab me! Rendezvous 1 mile outside the gate in an hour, don't let the guards know what we are doing" Lei Fu instructed before he left all the thugs cheering as glints filled their eyes at the upcoming brutality.

A goblin on a verdant wolf was seen rushing through the forest as he neared the dungeon, a grim look on her face. She was sent by Adrian to scout for the Lightning Gang which he knew would come. She had seen a massive group of people in the Endless Plains and was able to sprint away before she was seen.

She quickly arrived as she entered the clearing of Verdant Town shouting "STATIONS! PREPARE FOR WAR!" The goblins came running out of their houses or from where they were training as they gathered next to the inn.

Dahlia was ready as she entered the kitchen and began to cook. In a second relative to the goblins a giant cauldron of soup was carried by her as she brought it before them. "Drink up! Good luck little goblins!" she said as they began to take scoops of the potato soup.

Adrian also came down from his house where he was meditating and began to order the twig blights to prepare for war. A long line of little tree people walked out from the dungeon as they began to fill up the area around the town.

They did not leave the area of the dungeon yet because they only had a limited time they could stay outside. With the increase in level of Adrian's dungeon they could stay outside for a maximum of one hour before all their mana dissipated and they died.

"How many of them were there?" Gobble asked as he looked at the goblin scout.

"I didn't count but there looked to be around one hundred" she guessed "There was a giant mob of them walking this way"

Adrian nodded as this was how many he guessed would show "Eat your soup then enter into the forest prepare to ambush them around the pitfalls. I will send out the blights when the lightning gang is in range."

The goblins nodded and quickly finished up the power potato soup, relishing the taste wondering how Dahlia even made a power potato taste good, they were known to taste like dirt after all!

"Alright, just ahead should be the town we are after. Start getting yourselves ready, capture all the others and leave Kiegu to me. I will kill him myself!" Lei Fu instructed the thugs as they entered into the Forest from the Sunfire Plains.

They are walking through the forest as a barely visible cloud of smoke begins to approach them from their left unnoticeable as it blends in with the green foliage. Only the well trained eye would be able to see it.

"What is that smell?" a man asked as he sniffed the air with a frown.

"Dude it smells like shit!"

They began to laugh for a bit before just moments later one of their stomachs started to grumble as he said "What the hell!", he ran into the forest as he quickly dropped his trousers in order to relieve himself.

"Hahaha Jake forgot to use the restroom before we left it seems!" The men started to crack jokes before the next one held his stomach as he too ran into the forest not far away. Soon came a third and then a fourth, they realized something was wrong.

At this point Lei Fu noticed what was happening and shouted "It's Poison! It doesn't look lethal so there is no need to worry, just clench your cheeks!"

He then turned to a man next to him who was wearing a robe and said "Just in case do something to cleanse the air over there"

This man was Fredrick Dingle, the only magus inside of the lightning gang, and he was a wind magus. He was only an Apprentice Magus, but on the battlefield they are not to be underestimated.

He nodded as he began to chant, "O' wind of the forgotten, come before me and show me strength!"

A gale then formed as he directed it towards the left of their army blowing away the unseen poison that was affecting their ranks. It only affected around twenty or so people but that was nearly a quarter of their army that was affected.

"Let's continue!" Lei Fu said as they continued forward now more wary because of the poison.
