Meanwhile, in the main camp of the monsters and vampires near the weakest area of Majestic Treefrog Grove...

In this place, famous for being the entrance to this region for beings of the Light Path, a camp of over 100 creatures has been built right on the main path of this arca.

Ordinary creatures wouldn't dare do such a thing, but there was a Iligh-level Paragon cultivation vampire and an Advanced Archmage monster!

Who in this entire region would dare to face them? The strongest and most superior beasts in the area couldn't do that because of their non-aggression agreements.

With no one to challenge this group, it has been stationed here for over four years now, preventing creatures from entering and leaving the Majestic Treefrog Grove.

Today, the two strongest creatures in the arca, along with a third creature, stood face to face and dealt with problems.

"Elders, we still don't know the location of the enemy group, but we're moving fast to find them. The Dark Griffin is after them, so it's only a matter of hours before we find them." Said the third in the command tent of this camp as he stood face to face with these two powerful beings.

"In years of operations, never have magical creatures had the courage to come this close to us..." The vampire commented as he looked at the creature before him. "I'm afraid something is wrong. Soon, our elders will awaken from their seclusion. The time is not good."

Picking up on the solemn and suspicious tone of his superior, the Dark Path beast, an Advanced Archmage, the only one of the entire group in this area with such cultivation power, said to relieve his superior.

"Elder, I don't think this has anything to do with the awakening of the elders. These are probably beings who want to enter the Majestic Treefrog Grove. This place is precious to beings of the Light Path."

"They're all Light Path beings, elder." Confirmed the 4th stage vampire, informing them of the group of six they had discovered a few days ago.

Luckily for the six, they had moved in time to escape the first ones who had come for their blood!

"Still, I have a bad feeling about this. Pass on my concerns to the group investigating them. They shouldn't hesitate to attack these creatures and ask for reinforcements. I don't want this to go on much longer than it already has."

"Certainly, I will make sure the pursuers have your thoughts in mind." The 4th stage vampire took his leave soon after, leaving the camp command tent to sort out the orders of the strongest vampire in this besieged area.

The peak 5th stage vampire continued in his place, drinking a dark red viscous beverage, his white hair and skin contrasting with his black and dark red clothing.

'As soon as they hear about this group, I'll move myself. I'll make sure they all die before anything worse happens.'

Near the Valley of Lightning, Ayden, Bonfi, Qiang, Paul, Jacob, and Lonan-the werewolf of the group-were hiding behind a waterfall.

In this place, Vicente's six allied creatures were worried, tense expressions on their faces, each of them prepared for the worst.

"We're practically surrounded!" Qiang said as he looked over the falling water in front of him.

There was no way to tell they were actually surrounded. The enemy still didn't know they were here, even though they had men at practically every escape point in this area. If Vicente's group moved into this place, they would surely be spotted and pursued. Given the proximity of their enemies, it would be almost impossible for them to escape, which meant that if they left the area, they would be captured and would have to fight for their lives!

The others couldn't disagree with Qiang's words, and they realized they were trapped. The best they could do was to continue hiding, hoping the enemies wouldn't find them and leave after a while.

But they knew how unlikely that was!

"What should we do? In a day at most, the enemies will realize where we are." Bonfi said as he looked at his companions, speaking in a low voice while his aura, like that of his companions, was confined to his body.

Ayden said. "There is no easy way. If we leave, we'll be hunted by our enemies, eventually separated and killed. If we stay, we'll have a few hours, and then we can face them together. We'll probably die anyway, but at least we'll fight back and kill some of them.

I vote we stay here and fight to the death!"

"I say the same." Lonan agreed, showing one of his tightly clenched fists. "Running away will be impossible. Escaping by splitting up isn't feasible either. Let's wait and fight the bastards."

"We need to strategize. We're not as strong as our enemies, but we're not weak either. If we fight smart, we'll be able to take some of them down before we fall." Jakob thought rationally about the grim situation.

None of them had any hope of escaping, of being rescued, or of anything else changing their dire situation. Alone in this damp, dark cave, they could only prepare for the

worst.

A few days ago, a monster had spotted the footprint of one of them and investigated the situation, leading to the group's escape and the subsequent chase that had brought them to this place.

Now, they were standing on the edge of a precipice where they could fall to their deaths at any moment!

"Let's combine our skills to fight the bastards. Qiang and Bonfi, I hope I can count on you to lead the way. Jacob, Ayden, and I will support you both. Meanwhile, Lonan should sneak up on the enemies." Paul said, as he considered the abilities of each member of

the group.

"We will use Vicente's armor as a distraction against the enemies. That might give us a chance to take down some monsters and vampires."

The group agreed as they looked at a special storage item that Vicente had left with them, which contained eleven peak 5th stage robot armors.

This wasn't something that would kill enemies for them, but maybe it could act as a distraction!

Everyone agreed to go ahead with these plans, and they soon moved to position the 11 armors outside the area behind the waterfall.
