Tales Of Magic Swordsman - Chapter 581
After walking for several days, the two hundred soldiers under Smite’s led arrived inside a forest near the main road.
Smite deliberately using this unconventional road to hide from the enemy’s radar. With only two hundred soldiers, it was very dangerous to roam around the enemy’s cities. If they were caught, the enemy could send endless reinforcements since they were close to the city. However, Smite’s group didn’t have such privilege.
Currently, Smite’s group was resting after the long journey. Auron was sitting around his Absurd team’s members. The others were having a conversation with each other and tried to ease their nervousness.
Meanwhile, Auron did not focus on the conversation. Instead, he was currently arranging his supplies and his current condition.
Auron’s supplies seemed enough, so he went to the next things. Auron looked at his attribute and progress. War definitely contributed a lot of experience for him. Moreover, a winning war would provide greater experience points.
Auron saw that he was currently at level 489. He was 66 levels higher from the first time he arrived at the Bridge World. His speed of gaining level was considered to be quick. It was difficult to raise 66 levels in less than a week and a half.
The number of experience points needed to raise 66 levels from level 423 was different from 66 levels from level 300. Moreover, in his case, the number of experience points needed was different from others due to his special case.
Auron checked on his total attributes, and he smiled. He was slowly moving closer to his previous character’s attributes. It was quite good since compared to his previous character, his current equipment was way lower quality. However, because he could equip two of his characters and his attributes points, his attributes points were so much high compared to others on the same level.
Unfortunately, Auron’s skill level and spell level were not that high, and it was affecting his damage output as well. Overall, Auron was quite satisfied with his achievement.
Obviously, Auron’s so-called ‘cheat’ was the one that brought him to this point. So, he didn’t want to lose it yet, and Auron became more protective towards his mage character, which he controlled right now.
Auron was still pondering on how to protect his mage character when Smite called over him. He approached Auron, who was discussing with three other people. These three people were Jeffrey, and the other two people were the people from the recent reinforcements.
Jeffrey was obviously Smite’s closest friend and his trusted person. Meanwhile, the other two people had quite a high position in the military. Even though Smite was the leader of this expedition, he could not ignore these two people who had the same position as him in the military.
When Auron arrived at the group, Smite immediately said, “Okay, let’s do that.”
Then, Smite looked over to Auron and began explaining his strategy. The strategy was to split this 200 person became smaller groups. Although their power would also split, it was easier to move that way.
They would split into several small groups of 5. And, every 8 groups would have a leader as the coordinator and supervisor. The 5 people here were the ones who would supervise those small groups.
That was not all. To confuse the enemies, Smite intended to spread the group’s activities towards the other cities. That way, they could help the others to stop the reinforcements to the other outpost. And, also it would obscure their real goal of conquering the city.
Smite didn’t know how long would Gaia could gather 10 thousand soldiers. Hence, he could not determine how long would this side mission lasted. He could only tell the others to take off their own team and moved at a careful pace.
“Prioritize safety! We don’t need to deal with many casualties towards the enemy. Our only goal was to confuse the enemy and this battlefield!” Smite reminded the others once more before he closed the discussion.
Everyone nodded. Then, Smite immediately gathered everyone. He started to brief them for a bit. He could not give the detailed instruction and would leave it to the leader of each group. They already stopped here for quite a long time. Since this was deep inside the enemy’s territory, Smite was worried and didn’t want to stay longer.
Smite quickly separated everyone into small groups. Then, he assigned those small groups to one of the supervisors. After that, he quickly assigned each big group to one part of the enemy’s place. After he did all of those things, he quickly dispersed everyone.
Everything from assigning and dispersing the groups happened so quickly. It only took them less than 5 minutes.
Auron led his group towards his assigned place. While they were on the way, Auron briefed them about the detailed instruction and their goals.
As Auron was one of the supervisors in this side mission, he had the power to choose his team members. And, obviously, he decided his swordsman character to be one of his team members.
Besides his swordsman character, the other three members were strangers to him. He had to choose quite a good composition for his team. Unfortunately, since there were only a few clerics, some of the small groups could not get any clerics for their team. And Auron’s group was one of the teams that didn’t get cleric.
It was quite unfortunate for his group. However, Auron could not ask for more since the clerics were limited. In exchange for the cleric, Auron got quite a group composition. There were two swordsmen, one mage, one thief, and one archer inside his group. It was quite a good composition for a small group. Moreover, Auron could use his potion supplies to change the cleric’s functions.
After briefed the small groups, Auron quickly let everyone spread. There were only his group of five people left beside him.
Auron looked towards his group’s members. Then, he nodded and said, “Let’s go!”
