Chapter 545

Chapter 545: The Mother of a Child Mohawk is a Mohawk

The battle in the third base. And we have more people right now.

Now that only a hundred of children are left, with this many people we had, we should be able to hold the enemies for a few hours, and during that time, I should be able to capture the rest of the children as long as they are not too spread apart.

It has been one hour after the battle started, And I used Noise Bomb three times, using the portals to spread the noise two times, and captured fifty of them. We should be able to go for another hour and capture all the children.

Now that Shelia is no longer fighting alone, she was not as badly injured as she was in previous battle. And she had a good rest, so her regeneration ability is working fine and can heal small injuries on her body.

Veronica fights from the sky. She also defeated some artificial master level mages who can use advanced or expert level wind magic to fly. The sky is safe with her covering it.

Carmen uses water magic very well. And thanks to the moat she created, she doesn’t need to create water from thin air all the time as she can just use water from the moat. Doing that lessen the burden of her magic and she can use her magic effectively with only using little mana.

Jewel is... seems like her rhino transformation has gotten stronger defense now. The armor is not easily penetrable by any magic. She just run through the enemies, breaking their shields or walls while casting lightning magic from time to time. I think she killed the most here.

.....

Though the enemies are artificial master level mages, who not only have exceptional magic. They also have strong bodies as well. At most as strong as I am without my Aura. That means the werewolves and the vampires can still defeat them though.

Jewel charging through the enemies might not kill them right away. But the monsters can take care of that.

As for me, I am trying to gather the children in one place so I can capture them all right away. We can do it in this base.

The plan is, after we capture all the children here, I will bring everyone in this base to the fifth base right. The last base before reaching the capital.

There, they will rest for a little longer and wait. The battle will hopefully end there.

As for those in the fourth base, I will go there alone after transporting everyone to the fifth base. The main goal for the fourth base is to see the enemies’ weaknesses that we haven’t found yet. If there are any. It’s just a place where we need to test how going fighting against so many enemies feel like.

During the previous bases before that, we were going with the intention of capturing the children. The fourth base, we will be more serious. And in the fifth base, we will go all out. There won’t be sixth base.

Since it seems that the enemies will come from other places, there will be battle in the capital. That’s without a doubt. And that’s why if we can defeat all the over one thousand artificial master level wind mages coming from this area, we can protect more people.

I thought about that as I opened a portal to Noise Prison to capture the children since the Noise Bomb is still in cooldown time. It’s a good chance since all the children are here.

We have captured a lot of children here, and there are only about ten children left. When I looked around when I activated the Noise Bomb and opened the portal to the Noise Prison the few times before, I didn’t see anyone else who got affected by the noise. So, this is great.

Now, where are the bad children?

Just ten children. I can easily throw them inside the portal. Maybe kick them. Don’t worry. I know how to control my strength. And the children have strong body as well. Maybe I’ll broke a rib or two, but it’s fine.

As I lifted the last child by his collar, an adult artificial master level mage attacked me all of a sudden while trying to grab the last child. She’s a woman who seems to be in her thirties.

Why is she attacking me all of a sudden? Why only now? The previous two hundred times, there were not many attacking me when I capturing the children. Just why now?

Well, she seems to be saying something. But I don’t know what she’s talking about since I have been covering my ears the whole time. Ever since the battle here started. I can’t hear anything.

Actually, I can just put on the earplugs only when I was about to activate the Noise Bomb or open the portal. But doing it over and over again will disturb my concentration. That’s why I decided to cover my ears the whole time. Though if there are any important messages, Victoria will speak to me directly in my ear.

...Though she has been speaking the whole time. Rather than speaking, it was just random noise of the events that she heard. Like some “Bang” or “Whoosh”. I wish she stopped doing it. But that’s still better than continuously listening to my own blood flowing in my ears. It’s a bit scary to listen to that the whole time.

“Roy, seems like she’s saying something about the child you just threw as her son,” Victoria said.

I just threw the last child to the portal and closed it when Victoria said that. So, this one knows that family is important? But why did she lets her own son to get modified into something that can’t be called as human anymore?

That mother mohawk attacked me without caring that her attack hurt her own allies. This mohawk is different. I feel that she has her own will instead of just following order.

Now that all the children have been captured, I removed the earplugs to hear the “Bang” and “Whoosh” directly. And the angry mother mohawk is in front of me.

I forgot to think of how the children can be with the cult. It’s because they parents were in it before. And if their parents can be brainwashed, it’s normal to brainwash the children as well.

And I might have turn hundreds of children into orphans without knowing. Well, I’ll have Russell takes care of it. Once he’s done undoing the brainwashing on the children, he should have asked them something about their memories. If the children remembers that I killed their parents in front of them, let’s have Russell hypnotize them to forget that memory.

For the children to be brainwashed, and get the brainwashing undone only to be brainwashed again. Their fate is to be unlucky.

Though for me, I will be merciless. Not toward children. That means once they grow up, I have no problem killing them. Though I hope by that time, the children have no more relation with the cult and won’t remember about me anymore.

As for the mother in front of me, let’s have a chat with her.

“Hello. Are you up for a nice talk?” I asked the mother politely.

“Where is my son!?” the mother with the mohawk asked.

“Somewhere safe where his brainwashing will be undone. Even if this is a war and we have to kill each other, we are not so heartless to kill children,” I said.

“Are you sure my son is safe?” the mother asked again.

“He is. Including all the children we captured. As long as they don’t attack everyone there. Now, you will answer my questions. Well, not now. Wait for me for a little longer,” I said before I retreated. The children are all gone, and I was in the middle of the enemies. I need to be in a safe position before I can shout my order. And the mother mohawk seems to be patiently waiting for me. She’s genuinely trying to protect his son who is in our hand now.

“It’s done! We have them all! Retreat!”

The children are gone, so it’s time to retreat and bring them to the fifth base where they will rest.

Everyone, except for Shirley whom I can just summon, moved somewhere safe before I opened a portal and get them to enter. Some of the mohawks attacked us while they are continuing their march, but it’s not hard to defend since they are not focusing on killing us.

After I got them all to move to the fifth base, I didn’t go to the fourth base right away. I still have some questions to the mother mohawk. The only mohawk with her own will and not just someone who obeyed someone’s order.

I returned back to where the mother mohawk is. While the other mohawks continued their march, she stayed behind alone. Well, it’s good. At least I won’t have to fight the other mohawks while asking her questions.

And also, the distance between this base to the fourth base is quite far. I think it’s safe for us until afternoon.

For now, let’s talk with mother mohawk. If she really has her own will and not being brainwashed, and I can bring her to our side, we will have another powerful ally.
