Aaron, Austin, and Layal arrived at the location of the orc den before the other hunters.
The orc den was located deep within a mountain range, and was hidden by some small cliffs which is why people were not able to find it earlier, and it become quite big.
When the hunter association got the news about the orc den and investigated it they were not able to find how this orc den was formed.
But some people guessed that, there might be a dungeon deep within this mountain range, and because no one cleared that dungeon for a long time, a dungeon breakout happened and these orcs created a den here after coming out from the dungeon.
"There are just too many of them," Aaron said while looking at the orcs who were moving.
Aaron and the other two were floating in the sky while looking at the orcs from there.
All four of them flew into the surroundings and scouted the orcs there.
After five minutes they stopped looking at the orcs and landed some distance away from the mountain.
"I think there is something wrong?" Austin said with a furrowed eyebrow after all three of them landed.
"Yeah, there are many new D and D+ rank orcs there. Last time there were very few D and D+ rank orcs, but the number of D and D+ rank orcs increased by two times" Layla nodded her head after hearing Austin.
"From where these new orcs came from?" Aaron was also confused and looked in the direction of the mountain range.
"I think there is a dungeon deep within this mountain range, and there might be a breakout during the past three days and these orcs came here from there," Austin said after thinking about for a moment.
"But if there is really a dungeon it should be a pretty high level one because there are even A rank orcs here in this den, and if there was a breakout in that dungeon in the past few days then why did only D and D+ rank orcs increase in numbers?"
"The numbers of other orcs should have also increased if there was a breakout," Layla said in a doubtful voice after hearing Austin.
Hearing Layla both Aaron and Austin fell silent.
All three of them were confused as to from where these new orcs came.
ROAR -!
Crackle -!!!
Just as all of them were thinking a powerful roar reverted in the entire area accompanied by crackling of thunder.
When Aaron and others heard that roar their face changed and they looked in the direction of the orc den with serious faces.
"That roar just now," Austin said while looking at the mountain range with a grim expression on his face.
"That was definitely the roar of an A rank orc, and it is an orc that can use lighting element," Layal said with her expressions equally grim.
Previously they thought the A rank orc in the den will be a normal orc who can't use element skills.
But after hearing that roar, and the sound of thunder they were sure that one of the two A rank orc present in the den can use lightning element.
It is already quite difficult to kill an A rank orc because of its high defense, but if an orc can even use skills, its power will become even more terrifying.
"It will be very difficult to clear this den with only three of us," Aaron said while looking at Layal and Austin.
"Should we ask for other A rank hunters to come here?" Layal said after hearing him.
"Most of the A rank hunters are busy with other tasks, and if we ask for help it might take two or three days before an A rank hunter get time to help us," Aaron said while shaking his head.
"Most of the hunters who registered for this mission will come here soon. We can't wait for two or three days" Layal said while looking at the mountain range.
"Layal, aren't you also a formation master? Don't you know a formation that can weaken that orc" Austin suddenly asked while looking at Layal.
Hearing Austin, Layla's eyes lit up, "I do know a formation that can weaken its thunder skills by 50%"
"But it will take me around five or six hours to create that formation, in that case, we should start our attack tomorrow since it will be troublesome to attack at night time," Layla said after hearing Austin.
"That's fine as well, I don't think those hunters will have any problem waiting for one day" Aaron agreed to Layal and nodded his head.
"All right then let's create a formation before we clear the den. Do you have all the materials to create the formation, or should I go back to the city to bring some materials?" Austin asked after hearing Layla.
"I do have some materials, but you will still need to go back to bring some of the materials that I don't have" Layla said and messaged the names of the materials she needed.
"I will bring them soon," Austin said and he flew back towards the city.
"Should I call some of the members of my guild here since the numbers of D and D+ rank orcs increased quite a bit?" Layla asked Aaron after Austin flew away.
"Don't worry about those orcs. I don't think the hunters who registered for this mission will have any problem dealing with those low rank orcs" Aaron said and shook his head.
"All right then, I will start to set up the formation with the materials that I brought with me," Layla said and she also flew away toward the orc den.
Aaron who was left alone stood there for a moment before taking out his phone.
"I should inform the hunters who joined the mission that we will attack the base tomorrow, so they don't need to rush here in hurry and can hunt monsters while coming here" Aaron muttered and send a message to all of the hunters.
