802 The Immense Value Of The Fifth Guardian
I knew I could depend on him and others to find this fifth beast. But the question here was: Why did they take such trouble to hide the last beast?
Weren’t all beasts the same? Why would they hide the last one in such a way?
[Is there anything special about having five beasts under our control?] As I got questions without answers, I opened the chat with the only person who could give me them.
[There are!] And Lily just answered swiftly back, [You guessed it right. Having five beasts and letting our people get bathed in all of their blood would have at least double effect of just letting them bath in four beasts’ blood]
“Oh! So there is such a thing?” I now realise why they took all this trouble to do it. I paused, thought for a long time about it before resuming collecting bones.
After one hour, it suddenly hit me.
Where was the safest place in this entire continent? A place where Hectors could hide such a huge beast of eyes, even from the eyes of their common folks?
Of course it was there!
[Listen up, come here and take an aquatic army] I sent this to the jumper and the rest of my generals, [Search the bottom of the ocean and gulf, look for the big hole first. Once found, the beast won’t be far off]
[Are you sure? This… I got it!] The jumper seemed to be sceptical at first before he read what I had in mind.
The Hectors… The only place they would hide the beast at without getting exposed was the ocean and gulf.
Water wasn’t our turf, but it was theirs. So it only made sense to hide that last and very important beast there.
It shouldn’t be hidden far off the capital, or else if it was accidentally discovered, they wouldn’t be able to defend it.
Also it had to be close to the shores, so they would lead their men there and get the boost of it later on.
As I cracked this mystery down, it was only time before my men would find it. So I returned to collect bones, trying my best to collect all of them in the fastest time.
However, the ocean was really vast! From the words I got from my boys there, it was filled up with lots of mountains and caves, very sophisticated valleys and underground tunnels that took them over a day to scan just half of the area close to the shore in a few hundred miles radius.
During this day, I was close to finishing collecting my bones. I estimated I need half a day more. But in the middle of this period, I got the message I wanted at last.
[I got it!] It was from the jumper. That jerk didn’t fail my expectations for him and really found this beast, [I found the hole it crawled out from] however he didn’t find it yet, he just found the place it was born at.
[Look around it then] I sent, [Also send your location for others to come and aid]
[This beast is mine, it’s not for them to butt in like that!]
[Come on! Your army will bathe in its blood, are you satisfied now?]
[Partially]
[Just send out for them. I have less than half a day here to get done. You should find it before I’m done]
[Or what?]
[Just do it right and don’t get on my nerves, bastard!]
[Humph! I have no time to waste on you]
I closed the chat in anger. That bastard always got on my nerves each time I spoke with him.
He was a jerk! I vented my anger over the remaining bodies and claimed bones at a faster pace.
This battle here had tens of millions of dead, and most of them were the elites of the Hectors. The best were those who came from the dead king’s army.
Each one gave me lots of bones, the lowest of them was gold grade! Can you believe that?!!
I even got many red bones from them like the red bones turned to be dark gold bones or something.
I was having my fun here while my armies kept searching the base of the ocean for twenty-seven hours. And the one to send me the right message was none but that jerk again.
[I found it] He sent it just when I had a couple of hours of work left to get done from here.
[Cool! Can you find a way to draw it here?] It was great to find it, but the main problem still remained.
It was so damn way off the shores, too deep in the ocean. It was pointless to leave it there, or else how would my forces get the boost from it?
[Well… We might have a little problem] he sent and the first thing that popped up in my mind was the presence of an army there.
[I’ll bring the turtle again and let it lead my aquatic army to help] This was my answer to what he just said, however he hurriedly sent it over to stop me.
[No, no, it’s not a problem of an army defending it]
[Then what?]
[This beast… It’s not just a normal beast…]
[These beasts are all special and not like your normal ones! Don’t tell me you already forgot about the size and shape of the other beasts already!]
I couldn’t believe it! Did he have such a fragile memory or what?!!
[It’s not that, idiot! I’m telling you, something is wrong with this beast!]
[Explain then!]
[You better come and see yourself! I won’t bother telling this to you and you won’t get what I mean]
I couldn’t help but feel frustrated again. This jerk… [Fine! Give me two hours and I’ll come to your location]
[I’ll let your useless chick hover over the place with her chariot]
I closed the chat and ignored his last remark about my girl.
