Chapter 178: What Are You Waiting For?! New Year?!
Sabrina simply replied to Pedro with another "Hmph". Then, her pen-knives shut down, stopping right above the unconscious body of Werewolf Tam. This way she could rest and recuperate her strength in preparation for her another seemingly non-stop flight.
On the other hand, Pedro simply smiled slightly as he opened his player interface. He went into his friend list and mailed everyone else to ignore the message that he conveyed to them through Aks. Also, he told them not to worry about their safety as he and Sabrina were able to fend off Werewolf Tam.
He even included that they were chasing after Werewolf Tam, in order to bring an end to the continental quest. And he added that they all should just simply focus on their advance so that they would be able to provide aid to the strongholds in the east.
Other than that message, Pedro sent another message to Sabrina and Mathew, revealing what his true plans were. He said that Werewolf Tam would be placed inside a container that would be consequently attached to Sabrina's foot--like a dove who has a container on her feet to store papers for transporting messages in ancient times.
Then, He told them that they would head to the Tarala Kingdom to conspire and take control of the head-less Kingdom. Pedro had also said to them that the real reason why Werewolf Tam was kept alive was because of certain advantages that they would gain from it, like recruitment of NPCs, mobs for farming for EXPs, and a common enemy for stabilization and control of the strongholds at the east.contemporary romance
It was evident to them, even to Pedro himself, that there are loopholes to Pedro's plans. But... Mathew and Sabrina did not dare question his arrangements because of their trust and respect for Pedro's decision making and his ability to turn unfavorable tides into his favor. After all... The power and status that they currently have were mostly brought to them by Pedro.
They simply need to survive and, at the same time, work their hardest to capitalize on the benefits and advantages that Pedro brings to them so that they would become the strong players that were destined to stand by his side.
Of course, they gave Pedro an assurance that they would keep this information a secret until Pedro decides to reveal some of it to everyone else. Mathew and Sabrina knew the importance of this matter to their future human force that would be made up of both Players/Adventurers and NPCs. Thus, they could understand why there was a need for this information to be rated as Top Secret.
Unfortunately, Before they could talk at each other even further, Cries of wolves echoed around the village, indicating that there were hundreds of monsters that were on their way to the village of Axutar.
Pedro could not help but force out a smile and nod towards Sabrina as if he was saying 'Let's go!' after noticing the unconscious people all over the place. With his Demonic Eyes activated, he can't help but think of the possibility that even the village soldiers and adventurers outside the village would lay unconscious and defenseless against their enemies.
Thus, Sabrina walked a few meters away from Pedro and Werewolf Tam before transforming into her eagle form. Then, she flew high in the sky with her pen-knives following her suit.
There she noticed that 'luckily' more than half of the combined force of Adventurers and NPCs were out of the hundred-meter radius of Pedro's skill, and were fighting hundreds of monsters--barely able to fend them off.
Thus, she sent her pen-knives to give them a hand--clearing the monsters within the village's vicinity and consequently giving the combined Adventurer and NPCs force a time to breathe. Seeing that the combined force of Axutar Village was safe from harm, Sabrina dove back to where Pedro and Werewolf Tam was.
Then, Pedro tied a cylindrical basket around one of her feet that was big enough to fit Werewolf Tam in it. He placed a wooden cover above him to ensure that Werewolf Tam won't fall from it, no matter what flight maneuvers Sabrina would do.
Fortunately, there gaps and small holes in the basket--giving ventilation in it. With a few taps to check the durability of his tie, Pedro smiled and made an okay sign to Sabrina, saying, "Go ahead first! I have a few loose ends to take care of."
Sabrina simply nodded in response and flew up into the sky. When she reached a height that was high enough to even hid her figure, she cried loudly as a signal to Pedro that everything is okay on her end.
"Kwiiiyaaaaak!"
Pedro simply smirked as he stretched his head by slightly leaning it to the sides and said, "It's my turn!"
His eyes reverted back to their normal, consequently waking everyone up in the next few seconds. That said, he immediately rushed to the village house where he placed Village Chief Meerak and pushed the adventurers on top of the village chief, saying, "Get off of him! Get off of the village chief!"
The Adventurers could not help but follow him as they stared towards Village Chief Meerak as if they had seen a ghost. They were all astonished and, at the same time, confused as to why they ended up on top of the village chief and why did they seemingly lose their consciousness.
On the other hand, Village Chief Meerak could not help but frown in response as if he just woke up after a good night's sleep. Then, he glanced towards Pedro and said, "S-S-Sire?! W-W-What's happening? T-T-The Prisoner?"
"Don't worry, respected village chief! We drove him off the village, already. That said, we need to immediately leave the village and chase after him before he causes more damage to other people or... even to other strongholds. One of my men followed after him to trace the said monster! And I need to follow them as soon as I can!"
He stole a glance towards the other people inside the village house before glancing back to Village Chief Meerak, and said, "Please prepare the five villager or adventurers that you deemed capable and have potential to become my apprentices on BHO. All of my men had already left the village as we speak. They returned to where our main force was located to call for reinforcements that would arrive in a few weeks. That said, It would of great help if you would be able to provide me the village's most talented people and aid me in the subjugation of the said monster. Who knows... I might even consider taking them into my force, regardless of their performance after this chaos."
Pedro patted the village chief's shoulder and said, "Anyway, I need to stock some supplies that I need in the village shop. Please meet me at the easter gate of the village in ten minutes. If I did not see anyone waiting there by that time, I would immediately leave and go after my comrade."
Pedro turned around and was about to leave the village house. But before he could take a step outside, Village Chief Meerak shouted, "Wait!"
In turn, Pedro abruptly halted as he turned around to face the village chief, and asked, "Is there a problem?"
Village Chief Meerak ran towards him as he took out a badge from his pocket. Then, he said, "Take this, young sir! Show this to the Shop Keeper! Take anything that you need from the village shop for free! This is only what I can do as a village chief!"
"But..." Pedro forced out a smile and hesitated from obtaining the badge.
However, Village Chief Meerak placed it in his hands and pushed it towards him, saying, "I have not much use for it! It's just a badge that's resting in my pocket. It would be better for you to have it. That way, you won't encounter the same experience that you did as you enter my village. I hope that this would be able to help hasten your entry to other strongholds--even the Tarala Kingdom, in order to find that ferocious monster and save as many people as you can."
"This would be of big help village chief!" Pedro said as he placed the badge into his inventory bag. Then, he said, "I would make sure to repay your kindness by killing that cold-blooded murderer! See you at the eastern gate in ten minutes!"
"Alright! I'll go ahead and prepare your apprentices immediately." Village Chief Meerak said.
Pedro nodded in response and left the building as if he was late for work. At this moment, Village Chief Meerak glanced behind him and glared towards the adventurers, who were previously on top of him.
"The four of you! To find the Head Soldier of the village and tell him to send three of his best men to the eastern gate immediately! I would give you generous rewards afterward. But... Don't blame me for being brutal if you fail this mission!" Village Chief Meerak said, coldly.
However, the four players could only stare in a daze towards him as a quest popped out from their player interface. Thus, Village Chief Meerak could not help but frown and said, "What are you waiting for?! New Year?! Hurry! Before I assign you as baits in the field!"
The players could not help but force out a smile as they rushed out of the building, saying, "Yes, Village Chief!"
