Chapter 660: Small reprieve

The moment Klauz received the queen's message, he immediately took action. He was more than a bit skeptical about this seemingly untrustworthy information, at how easy it seemingly was. But he did not hesitate to have it done anyway. Since the queen has spoken, he would follow her commands.

His soldiers were being annihilated by those level-five monsters like how flies were killed by a fly-zapper. Thus, if they were not able to find a way to kill them, they would not be winning this war anytime soon! There was no more time for them to be cautious.

Their situation was actually getting quite hopeless, but with this new information, if it does truly work and they could kill those ma.s.sive monsters with less of sacrifices on their own troops, they might even win! In fact, if everything goes on well, they will definitely win!

And thus, he immediately formed a team. He had three of his non-combatant soldiers his strategists to do the job. They were among those who had joined in the battle with the sole purpose of searching and digging for information. They could somewhat be considered the brains of the party. Though they were weak to begin with, rendering them useless in the society. Dark faes had a label for individuals such as these and called them the invalids because of their inability to use even the weakest of magic spells.

Though most of these invalids later on experience an awakening after countless of years, these individuals had long since learned to focus on their non-magic related skills to survive and to be useful. Many of them turned out to be quite incredible at their skills.

He had more of these invalids in his army, but these three were his personal choice. They were intelligent and were the right individuals for the current mission.

After giving them the instructions, the trio enthusiastically accepted the job with sparkling eyes full of vigor. One look and anyone could tell how determined they were to carry out the mission until they were successfully. They had finally been given the chance to do and contribute to something instead of just watching from the sidelines while their comrades fall.

Soon, the trio were drenched with thick blood all over them. Buckets after buckets, layer after layer of that thick viscous blood covered them that there was not even a single clear spot on them left.

Their next dilemma was how to get the three safely across the wave of the level one to three monsters before them. These are the ones that would still be able to sniff them out.

They had considered the dragons, but that would just be too obvious. The message from the queen had said they needed to sneak over there, unnoticed.

Now there was only one choice left to them and that was to forcefully clear a path for them.

Up there, Evie and Zolan received the message from Klauz, informing them about the plan.

Evie looked at Zolan and the man nodded. Both of them knew that this was the best way.

And when they saw the signal, Evie had Onyx give them aerial support as they started to push their way in with an all-out battle.

Fire and blood continued painting the ground and soon they managed to have those three dark faes sneaking past the level three monsters.

The ice dragons then came and built walls of ice to block the level four giants in order for the soldiers to be able to catch even a moment of rest. They knew that the giant monsters would soon destroy the thick ice walls. But nevertheless, it was already a huge deal to give them the time to breathe and recuperate for a bit. They did not know why the level four monster did not destroy the ice walls before this war when they actually could just advance by them attacking the ice walls multiple times with their fists for the ice to crumble.

"I think we might need another team just in case the first team fails, Your Majesty." Zolan told Evie.

"Do you have any ideas?"

He was staring down at the battlefield. Looking at the injured and exhausted soldiers.

"This might sound heartless, but we should send a small group of weak and injured ones this time for our second wave. We need to see which one works best." He replied, clearly the strategist in him was working overtime.

Evie knew he was right. This was war. They could not just think that the very first group they sent in would be enough to cinch the deal for them. They need to always think about the worst-case scenarios and prepare a counter for it.

"I also can't help but think that it worked for me because I wasn't a dark fae. And that the monsters could only sense danger from individuals with magic." Zolan added, his expression extremely thoughtful.

As he said that, Evie could already tell what idea he was playing with in his mind.

Her gaze fell to where the vampires were gathered, and she realized everyone had not found out about Zolan's return to them yet.

The battle had quietened a bit after the remaining monsters outside the walls were being annihilated.

Evie lifted her gaze towards the thick and still standing strong walls of ice. This small reprieve could be their last chance to get to see each other before another intense battle commenced. It was something that all of them were expecting.

Once they managed to get rid of the level-five monsters, there was only one move left and that was to push forward to reach into the heart of the abyss. That was where Gideon was most likely positioned at.

She honestly did not know what was waiting for them in there, but she could only think of another worse-case scenario. A final battle might be waiting for them there and she knew it could be the bloodiest yet.

"Let's meet up with the others now, Zolan." Evie said to the man who was seated behind her, and she smiled at the sight of him looking at her with grat.i.tude. Of course, he has been dying to meet up with his comrades again. Evie also could not wait to see how everyone's reactions were like once they see Zolan.
