The two of them looked at Mantayu and asked in confusion.
“Didn’t I tell you to bring 80 men? Why did you only bring around 60 men?”
“You didn’t bring enough people because you want us to take your share of the work?”
Faced with their questioning, Mantayu replied, “You won’t believe me even if I tell you. So it is the same as not saying anything.”
Victor said: “I may not be very convinced, but at least I won’t accuse you of trying to slack off so we have to do most of the hard work.”
“Go ahead and tell us. I’ll verify the truth and see if you’re lying.”
Mantayu replied, “Alright, I’ll tell you then.”
“I was supposed to bring 80 people with me, but for some reason, some of them have gone missing.”
“I don’t know why.”
“Maybe it has something to do with that laughter yesterday, but I don’t believe in such things.”
“It could be a prank, right? Like someone trying to frame me? In any case, that’s all I have to say.”
The two were confused: “Laughter?”
“Yes! A kind of creepy laughter,” Mantayu replied.
“Alright, let’s break through the César Forest first,” Victor said.
“Alright!”
“Alright!”
After speaking, Sainz ordered, “We’ll split into three groups.”
“I’ll lead a team in from the front.”
“Mantayu leads the second group in from the side.”
“Captain Victor is in the middle, get ready to support the two teams at any time!”
“Alright!”
“No problem!”
“We’ll sneak in when it’s almost dark!” Sainz said to Victor and Mantayu.
Victor and the other two, who had been discussing outside, were all noticed by the black fox.
The black fox followed the route it came from to find Jobs and waved its paws as if to express something.
Jobs gave the black fox a puzzled look.
Seeing that it was still waving its claws, he asked, “Are you trying to tell me what’s happening outside the forest?”
The black fox hurriedly nodded.
Then, it found a tree branch and started drawing on the ground. Soon, it drew a picture of a lot of people on the ground.
Jobs understood that the black fox had gone out to hunt for food and had seen the three big forces coming to suppress him.
However, he did not panic because he was the absolute ruler of the forest!
Outside the forest, Sainz spoke to Mantayu and Victor: “It’s getting late. Let’s go inside.”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
“Okay.”
As the three of them led the groups into the forest, Jobs saw everything clearly from the top of the mountain.
Jobs told the White Wolf King, Illusion Bear, and Bear King to go intercept the three groups.
At the same time, the three teams were still advancing deeper into the forest.
Suddenly, a wolf’s howl sounded in the forest.
Howl!
When Mantayu heard this wolf howl, his face immediately darkened, because this could mean that a group of demonic beasts was living together.
Thus, he called out to his troops, “Everyone, prepare yourselves. There might be a fierce battle ahead.”
After he finished speaking, the sound of swords being drawn and shields clashing could be heard from time to time.
Clang! Thump!
Before they were ready, the ground shook.
A person in front came to report, “Leader, a large group of low-level demonic beasts is rushing towards us!”
Mantayu, who had a dark expression on his face, said in a low voice, “Get everyone ready for battle. We might lose some men in this battle.”
After saying that, he pulled out the sword hanging at his waist.
Clang!
A sword pointed forward and said, “Maintain formation and prepare to fight the demonic beasts!”
Everyone looked at the incoming demonic beasts.
Some of the timid members of the groups started to tremble. Their eyes were filled with fear.
The demonic beasts rushing towards the team were accompanied by loud roars.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
Mantayu looked at the scene before him and said, “Whoever kills the most will be heavily rewarded when they return!”
After saying that, he looked at the people in the groups. He saw that the timid ones in the team were no longer trembling in fear. Instead, their eyes were filled with excitement.
Mantayu shook his head while looking ahead.
He thought to himself, “Looks like the allure of fortune can create brave men!”
At this moment, on the other side of the forest, Sainz had also suffered the same situation, but his situation was much better than Mantayu’s.
Whoosh!
Just as Sainz was secretly rejoicing, a hidden weapon shot towards the unprepared crowd.
Bang! A loud explosion occurred in the group as everyone’s faces were covered in dust. They looked miserable.
The group of people turned to look at each other in confusion, only to see gray faces everywhere.
They looked at each other’s faces and laughed, but this moment, another hidden weapon shot towards them.
Seeing this, the sharp-eyed Sainz launched a counterattack! With a bang, the weapon was turned into powder in the air and exploded on the ground.
Everyone raised their heads to look in the direction where the hidden weapons came from when someone suddenly said something.
“Could it be that the hidden weapons were shot by the monkey that was smiling at us?” As he spoke, he pointed at the monkey.
Before the man could react, a shadow pounced on him.
Everyone looked up and saw a silver-gray wolf-like demonic beast opening its bloodthirsty mouth to bite that person’s arm.
