“How about demonstrating it once to them? Since green skins weren’t the only ones here.”
“That may not be a bad idea...”
Action speaks louder than words. Certainly, there were several more humans besides me here. The priests and Baek Ahyeon included. Of course, it could not be said that they all had raid experiences, but since they have heard and seen a lot of it, I thought it was possible to demonstrate the appropriate movements. Taking a brief pause from the training, I explained it to Goff and Black Spear to which they responded with nods.
Instead of imagining it all together in one’s head, it would probably be more helpful to them by demonstrating how it was supposed to work. Goff seemed to agree as he spoke while nodding.
“It will be good to dispatch a few ogres so that they can bring back some beasts from nearby.”
“While at it, I will ask them to bring back uninjured.”
“Will do. Blood Dagger.”
The training has become lull with the sudden plan. However, everyone’s eyes were sparkling, perhaps because they have heard that a real demonstration was about to take place.
I called Baek Ahyeon and the faithful separately and explained the situation. Then eventually, they all nodded with the utmost loyal expressions on their faces. Although it wasn’t much, they all showed resoluteness as if they were the holy knights, fighting a holy war.
Certainly, they were passionate. The faithful, which Baek Ahyeon commanded, all previously held different occupations. Although they have become priests under Baek Ahyeon’s influence, as long as their past experiences stayed with them, I thought that it would be possible for them to hunt a midsized beast. That was if Jung Hayeon and I were to help.
At last, after having waited a few moments, with the tribe members gathered together, the ogres and Goff appeared with a subdued midsized beast. Everyone was watching the beast from the distance, and it appeared quite similar to a lizard, perhaps because it was a Drake kind. As it was seething fire in its mouth, it seemed that the bastard could even use breath to a certain level. I laughed happily and as he met my eyes, Goff, too smiled expecting it to be an entertaining spectacle.
As I wanted to show them the hunting method as soon as possible, I immediately called Baek Ahyeon and Jung Hayeon separately, and began to speak to everyone who had their eyes wide open. It seemed there was high level of anticipation in everyone. The eyes of Goff and Black Spear, who had their attention fixed in this direction from the front of the line, were sparkling as well.
It felt like as if I had become a teacher.
“Hm. Then I’ll show you how to hunt the beast from now.”
“The fire breathing midsized lizard beast. It is much smaller than the beast of the east which we will soon go against.”
As I gently turned to look at the green skins, they were staring in this direction as if they have discovered a brand new world.
“The mon...Monster is not attacking the humans. Krrrk”
“Incredible.”
I continued to speak as I looked at them.
“When it is determined that the bastard’s movements have slowed or it is injured, increase the power, and if the monster peeks at the back then simply distract it with everything you’ve got.”
As the humans’ attacks have become more damaging, the lizard began to look back as expected, and Baek Ahyeon and the rear force began to change positions and made circles around the area. Even the warriors who have been prepped in advance came out in full force and began to either divert the beast’s path or caused damages according to each one’s way. The beast wobbled, since it might not have been a strong one to begin with.
As the damages accumulated, the bastard has reached the point at which it no longer was able to move and fell to the ground, and I followed by shattering its head by putting all the magic power on to the shield.
In some ways, it could have been defined as a revolutionary way to hunt. When I slowly looked at the back side, the countless number of green skins stared at me with their mouths wide open.
“Wow... Wow...”
“Wooooowww!”
The exploding cheer. I was somewhat concerned over any chance that they might not accept the demonstration, but it appeared that most of them were approving of it. Although it wasn’t a bloody battle that they wanted, it seemed to have been entertaining for them, in some new ways.
“I’m a warrior! I’ll protect from the front line!”
“The warriors protect the archers, and the charmers protect the warriors! The archers protect both the warriors and the faithful!”
They kept shouting as their eyes sparkled. Only then I knew why they were welcoming it in this fashion. This method was a game to them. Similar to the raids in the RPG game was enjoyed by the humans, they, too, were getting excited with the anticipation of enjoying a new hunting method.
It was a very interesting situation. Like them, my heart was also pounding with excitement.
