Chapter 702: Let’s Plan for More Raid Attack
“I understand. We will help you to get all information. And please help us all in exchange.”
The discussion is over. And the inn-owner who acted like the leader of these women, agreed to let the girls be our spies in this base. In exchange for their safety.
“I can’t promise you safety. I can only promise you that I will bring back as many people as possible before I make my move. It’s your job to gather as many innocent people as possible,” I said.
“But you said you’re going to help us!” one of the staffs complained.
“Like I said, I will save as many people as you can gather. I’ll tell you this, expert level wind mages are capable of using wind magic so they can listen to any sound within their range. And there are at least one master level wind mage in this place. Their range is even further. I am confident that no expert level wind mage can listen to me, but not with master level wind mages.
“As for you, who I expect to be intermediate or advanced level mages at most, won’t have any chance to block any wind mages from listening in. So, if you thoughtlessly spread this information, they will know that someone from the outside has invaded this place. So before you do anything, I want you all to think carefully of what to say to other people. As for me, I think it’s good if you never spread this information to anyone. Since I won’t have to safe them later and just let them die when I start destroying this place.”
Hearing what I said, those girls was shocked to realize that I’m someone who doesn’t care about their lives.
.....
“What should we do? We’ll be at risk if we tell others about this.”
“But we can’t just save ourselves by sacrificing others! They have suffered the same things as we did!”
“Still, I don’t want to die! Let’s just keep it as secret and let him save us. We will have the least risk if we don’t say anything.”
Alright. Their thoughts are split in two. One who wants to save themselves and the other who wants to save other people.
I can just transfer those who wants to save themselves right away. They will only be a burden for me if they stay.
For example, if those who wants to save others have informed the others about it, and the secret was somehow leaked, we will have to face master level mages. I won’t have any trouble with it, but some of them will undoubtedly die. And those who chose to save their own lives, knowing that they can’t avoid getting captured, will betray me and say told everything to the cult.
It’s safer for them to leave this place.
But I won’t suggest it now. I’ll tell them about it later. And only to those who wants to save their own lives.
I won’t return them back to Earth. Maybe I’ll let them stay in the monsters village first. They will be too afraid to do anything then.
Though that might be too cruel for them since I just saved four of the youngest here. But let’s say that it’s for Albert’s sake. If I keep sending people every day, he will be too busy. And I might end up being frozen by Lana. Who knows how strong she has become with her ice element?
...Somehow, the discussion ended with all of them willing to help other girls with the same situation as them. Just how?
“I guess we have made too much connection with them. We just can’t live knowing that we sacrifice them without them knowing. It’s good that you brought the youngest girls out of here before. If they’re here, they will not be able to consider about other people’s safety.”
That’s the conclusion they come up with after some complains. Well, whatever. That is fine as well. I guess I won’t bring them to monsters village.
“Alright. Then... I think if you’re just gathering people in the outer area close to the wall, there shouldn’t be any problem. But tell the people you’re talking to about what wind mages can do. As for those deeper in, I think you just have to be careful. Remember that if somehow our secret is leaked, while I’m confident in facing multiple master level mages, some of you might die during the battle. Just be careful. As for when we will act, I don’t know yet. Probably in two weeks. Also, make sure that you only move at night,” I said.
I let them discuss by themselves on what to do. I’ll just follow them while making sure the places they’re going will be safe from any wind mages’ range.
It’s already late at night, but instead of resting, the girls here are excited to tell the others that they can be finally freed. I guess I’ll sleep then.
“Hey, if you want to do it, do it fast. I don’t think anyone will check on the outer area of this base anymore tonight. Just make sure you’re away from the gate because that’s where the people who don’t have money are sleeping. I told you this before, but make sure that you will not be noticed by any wind mages. if you feel the slightest movement of the wind, just assume that the wind mages are listening. I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m going to rest,” I said.
The next day, I walk around the base from bar to bar. I make sure to remember the places where I feel the wind mages are listening the most. Though if they are expert level mages, they should be moving around and even leave this base to gain income by helping tamers to tame monsters.
At least there are around two master level wind mages. There could be more if they refuse to spend their mana to eavesdrop on other people.
I returned back to the inn I stayed for lunch. Only the inn-owner is awake. The rest are sleeping because they are too tired after talking the whole night.
“Lunch?”
“For ten,” I said.
“You eat a lot. I’ll cook them for you for free since you’re going to save us,” she said.
It’s conditional though. If the plan is working, I can save them. though I won’t repeat it any more than this.
“Give me a paper and a pen. I have marked some places where I feel the wind magic are. It could be useful to you even if it’s not one hundred percent accurate since they are also people who can move around. Also, if you’re bringing some girls from the places I marked, there’s a chance that they might be followed. As for the time I make my move, I still haven’t decided other than within two weeks time,” I said.
“Okay. Also, I won’t tell the others that you might not save them. Those girls will only be able to survive if they have hope,” she said.
“That’s enough. Someone is coming. I’ll change my order from ten portions to just two. Don’t want to make them suspicious of me.”
Since it’s lunch time, people who doesn’t want to spend too much money would go to a cheaper restaurant or inn for food. I think there will be more people coming until the evening.
The inn owner then wakes up the other girls, including our spy, to serve the incoming customers. Except that our spy will just stay in her private room since we don’t know if anyone noticed that she should have returned to Earth. She has been stying with the other staffs when she’s here as customer.
Later in the evening, customers have begun leaving. But it seems like I made a slight miscalculation. There are still people entering inn near the wall instead of being closer to the center.
Those people are mages who have been away from this place for a while. And they returned to see that many places have been destroyed. But they don’t know the whole story and probably don’t care either as they just enter the inn closer to the gate.
Luckily, none of them are staying here.

As the girls are preparing to leave, except for the minimum staffs to take care of the inn, I told them about this.
“Right. There are people who doesn’t care just because it didn’t affect them directly. We need to be extra careful.”
“Oh, by the way, I’m thinking of making monsters attack this place again for a few times before I make my move. I’ll tell them to not attack the women if possible. But if you’re afraid, just go closer to the center of this base instead to evacuate,” I said.
After hearing what I said, everyone is looking at me.
“What is it?” I asked.
“You can control monsters to invade this place?” one of them asked.
“No. I can tell them to attack here, but I can’t control most of them. Just like the previous two cases,” I said.
“It was you! It was you who terrorize this place!” another one started complaining.
“Don’t complain. If none of you approached me when I was about to return to Earth back then, my plan won’t change and I will kill everyone here. Just be glad that you made me change my plan. Anyway, I’m thinking of making monsters raid this place once in a while. The next group to attack won’t be vampires, but they are more loyal to me. I’m doing this so I can move around this base easily,” I said.
They gave up in protesting after knowing that I’m much too strong. And they started thinking that the raid by monsters actually a good chance to interact with other people.
Who should I send next time? Probably the werewolves. Though maybe just on the outside of the gate rather than the inside. I’ll have them destroy some part of the wall protecting this base, before retreating.
That will make more people reluctant to stay on the outer part of the city. What a good plan from someone like me!
