The next day, in the southern region, The atmosphere was gloomy. Everyone was mourning and sharing their sorrow, and the troops came marching to the area. They tried to find the culprit, but they were still unable to find him, no matter how much they searched for them.
Two Alpha Gnolls arrived here with their soldiers; they surrounded the nearby area with their troops and started investigating the slaughter of the Gnoll soldiers. The Gnoll have alerted all the Gnoll Soldiers that an unknown force is targeting them.
Scouts have become active; they divided themselves into two teams and went to the northern and southern regions. This time the situation was way more critical than before, As even an Alpha Gnoll had been killed. The ruling class of the Gnoll Village has become active; they are trying to look for patterns.
A group of young people could be seen observing the area around them. They could see multiple Gnolls surrounding them. They were just a few meters away from them, but somehow they could not locate them. Rishi was also noticing them. He never thought that these Gnolls would go to such lengths.
He had already shared with Dev everything he knew about Gnolls and their powerful commanders; they discussed it with other members and created a plan. They planned to destabilize the Troops of the Gnoll Army; they were going to play divide and rule with their Ambush fighting style.
Instead of directly attacking the Gnoll Village, they would weaken their forces. They had two weeks left. Dev looked at Rishi and said, "Bro, you must locate the secret base of Gnoll Scouts and Shamans. When we know about both of them, we will attack them simultaneously and eliminate them."
Rishi nodded in response, and Dev then looked at Vinay and said, "It's time you start building your Army after we eliminate the Gnolls here. You can start building your Army."
"As you say, captain," said Vinay. He started looking around, thinking about something.
Dev continued, Everyone, we will now eliminate every Troop that steps into this region. We will ambush the reinforcements if they come. We will be fine until the Commanders don't come together; Rishi will scout the area. If we find that we are outnumbered, we will retreat."
"We have already laid down a trap; all we have to do now is wait for them to get caught. We will divide ourselves into two groups; one will capture the Southern region, while the other will capture the Northern region."
"Vinay is already fixed for the northern region, as he will build his undead Army here. I want fast members to go to the southern region so they can easily escape if Ambush fails," said Dev.
Everyone started deciding where they would stay. Dilip and Rishi decided to go to the southern region. Manu and Jay decided to join them. The others decided to stay here.
They put on their armor and Combat Suits before deciding to attack. They summoned their contract Beasts and asked them to surround the opponent before attacking them. The battle was one-sided, and the Gnolls didn't stand a chance. Their leader appeared riding a gray-feathered Moa. It looked at them with eyes filled with hate and started charging. Dilip smiled and started approaching it. They exchanged multiple moves, and Dilip could easily counter all attacks and land his attacks on the opponent. He didn't even use any skills while his counterpart tried his best, but what he saw was that his opponent was an unmovable mountain.
Soon the body of the Gnoll was filled with wounds and cuts. His mount aggressively hit the neck of Dilip's mount. Dilip's mount charged at the gray-feathered Moa and bit his neck, tormenting it. Dilip comforted him. This contract Beast of his was aggressive in nature. It controlled himself, but if someone poked him, then they were asking for death, as there was no word like Mercy in his dictionary.
He was also annoyed when he thrust his Spear forward using the basic skill 'Rapid Thrust.' His Spear approached the opponent, but before reaching him, It divided into multiple shadows. The opponent tried to stop them, but they all turned out to be illusions; the real one snapped his neck and ended his life.
When other Gnolls saw this, they tried to escape, but unfortunately, they could not. Their opponents were leagues above them in terms of both power and Agility. Everyone moved back to the camp, leaving only a skeleton-masked guy, who started talking with himself before chanting some weird spell.
Dark energy started to radiate through the corpses. They got covered in black smoke, and soon their bodies started shaking as they stood one by one. Their flesh and blood withered away; only bones remained. One by one, the soldiers started to wake up from their slumber.
This continued for some time before a Dark smoke surrounded Alpha's body, and he started shaking. Then, like others, he also stood up. Vinay summoned his contract beast, Death Knight, and asked him to lead them to attack other creatures and become stronger.
He then came back to their camp and fell asleep. Rishi, Dilip, Manu, and Jay left the camp. They started moving towards the southern region. It didn't take them long to reach this area; they started to ambush their opponents here. The soldiers here were almost double the number from the Northern region, which was good as they could all go all out here.
Especially Dilip and Rishi had to control their strength as if they went all out, others would be left behind as spectators. They didn't want to do that, but here it was different. The opponents have outnumbered them by a lot, and Rishi started attacking his opponent with his ice element skills.
He humped in between them and started swinging his Spear. He activated 'Ice Enhancement' to cover his body in a layer of Ice and ate their attacks like sweets. He then used his second technique of Ice Element Battle Art, 'Frost Nova.'
Multiple Explosions took place around him. Everyone around the two-meter mark was eliminated directly, while others around him started slowing down as their bodies froze.
Rishi eliminated them easily. He then looked at the Alpha approaching him. He didn't hold back this time; He used his third technique of battle Art. A Glacial Blue Aura surrounded his Spear, and it started glowing brightly. He then threw the Spear at the opponent.
The Alpha brought his Spear in front while also activating his defensive skills. The Spear tore through the air and then hit the barrier and peered through it as a hot needle peered through the plastic. It then hit his chest, and a giant explosion took place; even the Moa bird below him was blasted into pieces of Ice crystals.
Dilip also used his Spear Aura and beheaded the second Alpha. The rest of the soldiers tried to run, but Rishi summoned his Chakrams and shot them at the opponent. The heads of the Gnolls started falling, and after one minute, no living Gnoll could be seen around.
