Chapter 139 A Dire Battle In The Plains [Part 3]

The Chad Skunk's sharp claws collided with the Dire Wolf's jaws, sending sparks flying at the point of impact.

The Herbivores in Solterra were often hunted by predators, but this didn't mean that they didn't have the means to protect themselves.

Even a water buffalo could gouge a lion with its horns, if pushed into a corner, and the Chad Skunk had evolved to the point where it could stand on its hind legs like a bear, and fight at close combat if the predator was able to withstand its stink spray.

Since his teammates were fighting in close quarters, Giga Chad was unable to unleash his stink spray at the three Dire Wolves that attacked them from the side.

Because of this, he stayed by Thirteen's side, ready to protect his Master as a last resort.

Chad Skunks were not aggressive creatures, but when they needed to fight, they fought like bears.

After blocking the Dire Wolf's first assault, Giga Chad screeched as it prepared to lunge at its enemy.

But just as it was about to initiate its attack, it saw a blur appear at the corner of its eye.

A second later, the Dire Wolf yelped as Vassago's claws scratched its eyes.

Thirteen didn't miss this opportunity as he released the arrow in his hand.

The arrow flew under Chad Skunk's arm, and entered the Dire Wolf's jaw, embedding itself on the monster's throat.

Before the wolf could even howl in pain, the Chad Skunk's claws descended, hitting the side of its face, making it stagger.

Another arrow flew past the skunk's left shoulder, embedding itself once more in the Monster's throat.

A few seconds later, razor sharp claws scratched the Monster's neck, drawing blood.

It was a very bloody scene, but Adira could only smile, and appreciate the carnage that was happening in front of her.

Thirteen shifted his attention to the other Wolves in the battlefield, and sighed with relief when he saw that O1, O2, T1, up to T6, had already neutralized the six Wolves, with two of them dying in Cristophers hands.

"Cristopher, come here!" Thirteen ordered, making the chubby boy, who was about to kill another crippled Wolf, halt his movements.

Cristopher had known by now to never question his Young Master's orders.

If Zion ordered him to jump, he would jump.

If he was ordered to kill, he would kill!

Jasmine and Ariel, who were serving as Cristopher's bodyguards, ran alongside him.

O1 and O2, were already running alongside the other Trolls to help Brutus, and Bruno, with the Wolves they were fighting against.

Just as Thirteen was thinking of whether they should return to the city or not, Adira appeared beside him, and tapped his right shoulder.

"Do you want me to store these Dire Wolves inside cages?" Adira asked. "I can ask my coachman to bring them back to Norris, so you don't have to return to Gronar City."

Adira knew that Zion planned to head Northwest in order to find the Warsor Black Hounds.

Although the boy didn't say anything, the Drow could tell that Zion had set a time limit to their hunt, so returning to the city was not an ideal scenario for him.

Because of this, she decided to offer her assistance because she was impressed by the boy's ability to command his people.

"Thank you for your offer, Lady Adira," Thirteen replied. "I would like to ask for your assistance in this matter."

"Good." Adira nodded before taking out four black cubes from her storage ring.

She threw these cubes at the Four Dire Wolves, imprisoning them in steel cages with wheels.

The Drow then attached the cages to each other, forming something similar to a train before latching it on the carriage that she used.

This was how Norris transported his captured slaves in the Barbarian Cities, allowing them to hunt any beasts they came across in the wild.

"Well then, please take care of me for the time being, Zion," Adira said as soon as her carriage disappeared in the distance. "Since my ride is gone, I'll be traveling in your wagon for the time being."

Thirteen already guessed that the Drow's real intention was to observe him and his Hunting Party, and see how they would perform during battles.

Since she didn't plan on getting in the way, he decided that it wouldn't hurt having her around.

Also, he had a feeling that bringing her along would be more beneficial to their group in the long run, so he agreed to her request without much resistance.

"All of you performed well," Thirteen said as he faced his people. "But, this battle has proven that our teamwork still has flaws. This is perfectly understandable because this is the first time that we are fighting together.

"However, remember this, if you all don't want to die, don't let these small victories go to your head. All it takes is one mistake for all of you to lose your lives, so never lower your guard.

"The place where we will go is a very dangerous place, so I want everyone to obey my commands without question. A second of hesitation might cost you your lives, so remember to follow my orders accordingly, especially during battles."

The boy then glanced at the corpses of the Monsters on the ground and gave another order.

"All the Brutes, and all the other Trolls, start to dismantle these corpses, and take what is valuable. All the Cores will be given to Cristopher. Last, but not least, the meat is poisonous so if you don't want to die, don't eat it. I'll give you an hour to finish this task."

Vassago, who was listening to Thirteen's orders, flew up to the sky.

He already knew the role he needed to play, so he didn't wait for the boy to order him to do anything.

The seven-year-old then returned to the first wagon to rest, alongside Cristopher, Adira, Jasmine, Ariel, and Giga Chad.

This was their first battle in the Warsor Plains, and Thirteen knew that this was only the beginning.
