Chapter 920: They Might be Distractions
Chapter 920: They Might be Distractions
"So what now? They already know that we have a way of communication which is much more efficient than the TV. And TV alone is already far too advanced here. Even in my past life, such thing doesn’t exist," I said.
For a long distance communication, even the cult must have some, right? They either use their wind mages to fly and deliver some information. Or maybe if it’s in the sea, they used water mages to travel underwater. Making it hard for us to notice.
I have seen Carmen swum in the ocean once. She was very fast. But now that I’m a master level summoner and an Aura Master, I think I’m faster since she’s still an expert level water mage. Though Spot is the best for underwater transportation now even if I have the Crab People.
Even if the cult don’t send wind mages or water mages, they can still use their summoners to open portals to deliver messages. But the location they can go to is limited to where their monster is.
I’m just glad that they haven’t found the Pear-y Fruit yet. Or they can deliver messages to multiple location at once.
It’s crazy that they captured many summoners who just awakened their elements and bring them to join the cult. They must have taught or force those summoners to obey them completely from young age. To make sure that they won’t betray the cult.
"Maybe they will realize that some of our summoners are already capable of using portals. At least we have the advantages of having Pear-y Fruits. Our summoners have more familiars than them," Albert said.
"And I just heard from Lina that she’s about to reach expert level soon. So she can finally get another familiar," I said.
If it’s her, I think she only wants a familiar that will be helpful for me instead of thinking about herself. But I’ll let her decide on what to pick.
Her first familiar, Sunny, the sunflower monster, is very strong in her giant flower form. Then Elsie is very convenient because of Divine Vision. And her tentacles can also be used to fight.
Then there’s the Elf Queen, Tia. She and the entire elf tribe can now fight as well. And they are not cowards anymore. Which was great.
Maybe because Tia killed a lot after getting used to archery, Lina will soon be able to reach expert level. That makes sense.
Then there’s a master level summoner who unfortunately has reached master level before he could make a contract with another familiar. So he can only have one familiar. And that is the leader of the centaur tribe.
There are other summoners as well who have multiple familiars. But I don’t think any of them are exceptional enough that I have to remember them. So I don’t know any of them at all.
"Hey, what are we doing here? Aren’t there several places that are under attack? Should we really stay here and just talk?" Angela asked.
Angela, Kayla, Wendy, and Shirley have changed when I was bringing other people. They’re no longer wearing party dresses. They are now wearing clothes that are easy to move in. Though what Shirley wear is still can be considered as a dress.
"It’s fine. All of them are under control. The ones who informed us from over there, we made sure that they would not take their phone out of their pocket. They will contact us while making sure that no one will see the phones," Claudia said.
"So, we’re just here because all the attack happened at the same time and it was far too suspicious to let them be?" I asked.
"Yes. Also, rather than the villages or the cities, I think their main goal is to find anyone who is sending information to us and find out more about what they use to contact us. One of the informants in Consenza said that the bandits were looking for people instead of wealth," Claudia said.
Then she told us how those who act like bandits didn’t seem like bandits at all. Instead of robbing people’s wealth or grabbing children and women to be sold, they are looking for something else. Or maybe someone.
Someone got caught to be suspicious of sending messages somewhere, but he is safe and managed to kill the one who found him. I guess it’s good that we only gave the phones to those who are strong enough to protect themselves.
"For now, it’s safe to not do anything. But we will still send some people there to investigate. Roy will move those people around and find anyone suspicious near the locations where they are attacking. If they find anyone suspicious, either they are involved with the battle or not, they will subdue them," Toni said.
I guess that’s what we should do.
Still, to have many places attacked at the same time. That’s annoying.
"Hey, wait a minute. What if they already know that we have a way to communicate long-distance already, and they even know that we have summoners that can use portal? It means that all these attack could be distractions instead. And the real attack might come soon," Victoria said.
"Yes. That’s why we will also send Angela and other strong mages to big cities like the capitals of each kingdoms. As for Roy, you will always be ready to go anywhere at all time. Which also means that if we left any one of the enemy behind, and they managed to escape, they will know that we have the Aura user with us. And they might even learn that Roy is a summoner as well. We have to get ready for everything," Toni said.
"Other than Roy, the other person who needs to get ready to be moving around would be Rudy. His leadership might be able to help solving the problems everywhere in case he’s needed," Claudia said.
Good. Now, who is Rudy again?
Then someone stepped forward.
Oh, so Claudia was talking about Sunglasses.
"Although I can see again now, I will keep on wearing sunglasses because of someone’s inability to remember my name. I will do my best to serve," Sunglasses said.
His sunglasses is now a part of him. If he remove them, I won’t be able to tell who he is.
Well, maybe I can. But having an obvious characteristic will make it easier for me. Like how Randy has tattooes and Mustache has mustache
And so, I brought everyone to their posts. They will be accompanied by someone there so they can rest while waiting until the enemy arrives.
Well, that’s important. After all, it’s in the middle of the night for some of us, and we haven’t had a minute to sleep. Even I didn’t sleep. Though that was because we had a reunion party.
I wonder what they’re doing after we left? They are diligent students who listened to me even though some of them are teachers. So I’m curious what they’re doing.
I don’t think they will stay there for so long. I’m sure they have finished the party by now. Because there’s no more need for them to stay if the main characters left.
I hope Attention-seeker won’t cause any trouble to anyone. Though if he doesn’t do that anymore, he won’t be Attention-seeker anymore. And I will forget about him. Which is fine because if he annoys me again, the result will be the same whether he’s still Attention-seeker or not.
Sunglasses and I stayed behind in Consenza along with other kings who are discussing something. Then we got the news that a village in Arturo needs reinforcement.
"Roy, you go there on your own. If there’s too many enemies and you can’t finish them on your own, open up a portal for me to move," Sunglasses said.
That is what we’re doing here. Though for Sunglasses, he has several phones ready for him so he can communicate with each caller and send orders for them.
While killing bandits, I noticed that none of them acted like a real bandits at all. None of them were being idiots. So I’m pretty sure by now that they are members of the cult.
And as usual, I killed them while hiding my identity using the magic armor.
Though they’re all too weak so I don’t need to bring Sunglasses here.
After killing all the enemies, I told the soldiers here to search around in case there are some of them in hiding before I return.
And now I’m waiting again next to Sunglasses.
With so many locations under attack at the same time, I guess we know for sure right now that there are way too many members of the cult than we expected. Even after many victories we’ve had, they can still send a large number of people to their death.
And seeing how weak they are, they haven’t send their real force yet.
With so much happening right now, I wonder when can we really destroy the cult? When can I achieve my inner peace?
Until then, there’s only one thing I need to do. Kill as many of them as possible.
