Chapter 447 - Emergency
"Kill them!" Phyrill roared while waving his sword to a brown-colored wolf.
Two wolves tried to bite him while protecting the brown-colored wolf, but Phyrill's assistant appeared next to him, blocking the fangs with his long sword. "Young Master, kill that wolf."
Phyrill nodded and leaped on top of the brown wolf, slicing its neck.
"Got it." Phyrill glanced to the front and said, "Let's continue."
"Yes." His assistant nodded his head and pushed the two wolves back, planning to help Phyrill again. However, Theo soon appeared in his vision, thrusting his spear to their heads.
His eyes intertwined with Theo, and he saw there was no change in those eyes when he killed them as if this was a normal thing to do for him.
"Thanks for the help," said Theo as he landed on the ground and slowed down his pace again.
It was clear to him Theo just took advantage of his movement to get that kill and when he took another look at him, Theo had already disappeared, killing another wolf in the process.
In other words, they all created opportunities for Theo to kill more monsters.
"Who is he…" He murmured and shook the thought off his mind. There was still a more important job he had to do in the middle of this chaotic area.
He continued to follow Phyrill right behind him, preventing any wolves that wanted to attack him.
Meanwhile, Theo returned to Ellen as he did his job, killing the wolves while protecting her.
Ellen hadn't done anything and just ran with the group. Even Phyrill's subordinates were confused by Phyrill's action in recalling Ellen. She was a burden to their group and should have contributed to this battle by staying with the other magicians.
Unfortunately for them, Phyrill's decision was final. They had no choice other than to follow it.
Ellen also felt guilty for not contributing, but Theo seemed to have another plan for her.
Theo was not someone who did something meaningless. Every decision he made, no matter how ridiculous it was, came from a well-thought plan.
And he must want her to act when the time comes.
Theo, on the other hand, was too focused on killing the monsters. As expected, the first charge went smoothly.
He killed ten wolves in succession and leveled up once. Of course, those kills came from taking advantage of Phyrill's subordinates. So as to avoid being hated, Theo only aimed at the wolves that the group decided not to kill.
It took them three minutes to break through a hundred-foot line filled with wolves, and Theo killed half of the total of the whole group combined.
When they escaped from the wolf onslaught, some of them turned around and stopped the wolves that chased them on their tail.
Meanwhile, Phyrill looked around and searched for his assistant. "Prepare the flare. We will give the signal for the independent groups to charge once more."
This was their plan. With the soldiers confronting the wolves head-on and the magician destroying the city, Phyrill's group and the combined independent groups were in charge of sweeping the monsters in succession, thinning their number.
It was a good plan which Theo supported because it wasn't that complicated and pretty effective in dealing with the wolf city that only had one exit.
Doing this several times, they would have killed one or two hundred wolves. In addition to the army's effort, they should have killed half of the enemies within half an hour.
If the General Class wolf appeared on the battlefield, they would quickly run back to their camp with the Supreme Rank Expert holding the rear.
Unfortunately, they had underestimated the power of a General Class monster, especially the one with sharp ears, eyes, nose, and brain.
Theo and Ava were the first to realize the graveness of this matter when Ava suddenly sneaked out of his shirt and jumped in front of his face.
"Ava?" Theo was taken aback by her appearance since he couldn't afford to have her get found out. However, Ava ignored that warning and pointed to their right with a panicked face. "Kyu!"
"Theo?" Phyrill was the first to notice the commotion with his enhanced senses and saw the white rabbit. "You are a summoner now?"
Of course, Ava being a summoned creature was the first thing that crossed his mind. He had no time to check Ava's status or whatsoever.
Soon, Theo talked to his own summoned creature, which should be impossible normally. After all, summoned creatures came from a certain contract formed between the summoner and the creature itself. And most creatures were just mere Normal or Rare Class monsters, unlike Ava, who could conduct a conversation like this.
But before he could react, he heard Theo saying, "Phyrill! We have an emergency. Have the soldiers on the right-side shift their position to our way to cover us a bit and signal the independent groups to stop the sweep."
"What are you talking about, Theo?" Phyrill widened his eyes in surprise.
"Just do it, goddammit!" Theo shouted, which gathered the attention of all Phyrill's subordinates.
"!!!" They all glared at Theo, who dared to insult their Young Master.
However, Phyrill was dumbstruck because this was the first time Theo had to swear to give his command. For him to have such conduct, it was clear this was a far more dangerous situation.
"The rest of you will go behind us. There will be an ambush!" Theo shouted while gritting his teeth. "Kh, so, this is what it means by fighting a General Class Monster? It's like fighting an army leader."
Phyrill stared at the rabbit for two more seconds before supporting Theo's decision out loud. "All of you, listen to his commands and follow them without complaining. I will ask the military commander to shift their soldiers. Go!"
They were shocked by Phyrill's command since it meant Phyrill was listening to his command even though he was the most influential person here.
But when they saw Phyrill setting off to the military, his assistant decided to follow his words. "All of you, follow me!"
