"This way".
Legolas's eyes gleamed sharply in the desert as he detected the scent of the Titans. After getting Christensen's exclusive ability, his tracking ability combined with his experience increased his overall efficiency exponentially.
Now, he was no longer far behind Christensen when it came to tracking.
"Awesome!" Christensen was awed.
"Master, you're a genius, you've gotten the hang of it".
Legolas grinned as he looked at his student. "Yeah".
This was Christensen's exclusive ability but as his master and considering the amount of effort he put into training Christensen, he was thick-skinned enough to take all the credit for himself as payment for all his previous efforts.
After all, who thought the previous useless Christensen could become this.
After regrouping with Captain Aegon's Vanguard Squad 5 days ago, without hesitation, he joined them as they continued their Titan hunt.
There were dozens of small tribes like the Hero Tribe spread across the Great Desert, and to fulfill their mission, they had to go through all the tribes.
Through the Scent Tracking ability, Legolas helped them and was able to detect the direction with a higher concentration of Titan scent. They prioritized the tribes where there were higher concentration of Titans to save them.
For the past 5 days, they continued slaughtering the Undead Titans.
Having understood everything about them already, they no longer had a hard time like their first encounter with the powerful Titans.
Also, the survivors in the Vanguard Squad were already veterans.
Apart from Amak and Ackermann who were still injured from Din's betrayal, the remaining survivors of the Vanguard Squad were Captain Aegon, Shogun, Arnold, Altan, Amanak, Legolas and his companions.
Of 160 warriors that were originally mobilized to be part of the Vanguard Squad, only 5 survived and they now had the ability to back their survival.
After 5 days of constant clashes, a lot of the Titans already died.
And with their crystals shattered, the Clown Society could no longer bring the Titans back to life. They could only send their warriors to ride them through the alien machines but this was also already vulnerable before the Vanguard Squad.
In the end, they no longer sent more Titans to attack the tribes.
This was the last village under the attack of the Titans.
Under Legolas's leadership, the Vanguard Squad arrived after 5 minutes.
Captain Aegon like usual took centerstage. "Amanak, Arnold, you're our rangers, stay behind us and protect our backs".
"Shogun, I need fiery bombardment".
"Got it, Commander".
"Altan, follow me, we're the protectors left".
Then he turned to face Legolas. "Do your thing".
"Got it!" Legolas grinned. "Blade, stick with me".

After fusing with Bran numerous times in the past 5 days, his base control level with the Void Raven already increased by another 5%. Now, his overall control level was 50% which meant greater strength.
"Christensen, do what you like with Leo".
The next moment, Legolas exploded into battle. Blade was swift as he followed directly behind him while wielding Giantsbane.
Whoosh!
Captain Aegon's orders were simple. "Box it in and kill it!"
From the skies, Legolas distracted the massive Warrior Titan as Shogun bombarded it with AOE fire skills that rattled the battlefield.
The Warrior Titan was disoriented as Blade and Captain Aegon sprinted up its body, they both attacked its head but this Warrior Titan protected itself at the nick of time, barely saving its life.
It was about to attack the 2 Pugilists but they had teammates.
"Leo-Chris Beast Combo: Barrage of Death!"
After a long time of acclimatization, Leo finally regained his full powers in the desert. Christensen and Leo combined for the first time in a long time to unleash their combo attack on a Warrior Titan.
"Eat this b*tch!"
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Christensen and Leo tore the Warrior Titan's head apart including its crystal, it collapsed on the ground like a mighty Iroko tree that was cut.
After the death of the Warrior Titan, everything else was easier.
5 minutes later, this village was saved.

The alien machine that powered the Titans was not destroyed yet but since the immediate threat of the Titans was gone, the virtual interface recorded it for Legolas that he already completed the missions as they gave him his rewards.
On seeing the notifications, a bright smile lit Legolas's face.
Captain Aegon came closer to meet Legolas after speaking with the Tribe Chief of this clan as he smiled at him which was a rare occurrence.
He took Legolas's hand for a handshake. "Thanks man".
"Without you, none of us would have survived".
Legolas smiled back at him before patting his hand.
As the tribe started recovery processes to recover from the attack, the Vanguard Squad finally started their journey to return to the Kong tribe.
As they moved through the desert, after what felt like a few hours on top Predator, Legolas was surprised as his virtual interface lit up another notification.
After 70 days, it was finally time.
