13 Chapter 11 (Divide and Kill)

"No need for further delays..., we will charge now," I ordered them to start the operation, as 'The sooner we win, the sooner we get to celebrate'. They rushed towards six different staircases that will lead them to the surface. "Hugo! brace yourself, he is stronger than both of us..., though we can easily beat him if we work together," I said as we waited for the warriors' to attack them. Hugo is almost close to transcending his limit as a normal Magician and can even overpower me for a short term in a duel. Still, he can't just fight with a Magus who has stabled his powers and mana at a higher stage for years with constant training.

But he can still defeat a primary Magus if the conditions' are in his favor like we have planned for now. Our warriors reached the end of each staircase, yes... there is an end and it is deliberately made. We can't just make an opening on the surface to make it obvious that we will appear from there to attack them, and... here comes the main task of our Elites and the reason why we bring them with us despite being restricted by Seren's father. The old Trees' in this forest have large holes in their trunks' leading to their roots and thus they can be broken apart with a single huge force. An opening can be made that can accommodate a werewolf and that is the way to get out. They punched the root of the tree with all their might at the same time, a blinding light flashed underneath the tree, followed by a loud sonic wave.

Everyone on the surface must have been baffled by the unpredictable earthquake, as the might of their punch can crush a huge boulder like a pot. What left after the flash is' a huge opening from the middle of every tree, a tree which was very week and old fell upon the enemies' Cavalries. Without giving the enemies' any hint of the previous attack, everyone jumped out of the hollow trunk. As a tree out of six trees fell, our Elites' decided to also demolish other remaining tees' to surround the Enemies' from every direction. The Magi's and Prince become immediately alert after watching a mass of werewolves' appearing out of the hollow trunks.

The Elites' punched the woods and as everyone surrounded the enemies from every direction, all of the trees fell making a barrier for the Troops' as now there is not any enough room for the horses to take a run-up to jump over the huge trunks. "How dare you b~" A mage shouted at our warriors' surrounding them, but the show isn't over yet... Hugo and I were just waiting for this moment. As he was about to say something bad about us..., Hugo pulled the Prince underground along with the horse that Prince was riding. The Magus right beside the prince was so distracted by our warriors' that he forgot to use the perception and thus failed to notice Hugo's attack beforehand. That was our plan and it worked... The magus who was shouting at us stopped right at that moment..., because he just saw, right in front of him their Prince got swallowed under the soil with the horse he was riding in.

Everyone froze like they have been petrified, it was so unexpected how someone caught their prince right in front of their eyes. The senior Magus immediately realizes who was it that has just dared to capture the Prince, even in his presence. He instantly jumped out of the horse and used his magic to create a Wind-Spiral to make a hole inside the ground. As he was about to jump inside the hole with the Wind-Spiral, a huge splash of Blood came out of the ground and splashed against his Cloths'. Everyone became shocked...! They all thought for a moment that he killed the Prince!~ but they soon take a breath of relief after a Muzzle of the horse came out of the Hole.

// Muzzle of a horse includes the area of the mouth, nostrils, chin, lips, and front of the nose. //

Then he jumped inside the hole without delaying once more, as he jumped inside the hole our Warriors' charged towards the enemies'. After we successfully split them apart of the senior Magus, everyone pounced at the Cavalry's and the Elite werewolves directly started their attack on the Five remaining Magi's. The other Troops of the enemies' are not worth fighting, they are just some chicken and lamb in front of our Elites'. So they just ignored them and initiated their attack on the magi, which will also reduce the causality of directly confronting them by our normal warriors. This is our plan, we are just following a simple rule and that is "Divide and Kill".

...

You must be thinking all this time, Why are we not using any melee weapons' despite having a weapon like Catapult? Then let me say this "we Warriors' do not need even a Low-grade weapon to fight with an average Troop of Daemon Land," our bare hands are enough to break their most formidable weapons.

The senior magus jumped inside the underground Tunnel. As he was about to reach near the surface of the tunnel, he initiated his 'Perception' to check the number of enemies and the traps which may be hidden inside the tunnel. He touched the ground and looked towards his left and right, he first glanced towards me and only after that towards Hugo and his prince. He found that the prince is not injured and we might not kill the prince as we have only captured him. But..., he was surprised by the fact that there are no Traps hidden inside the underground tunnel and most importantly there are only two enemies confronting him...!

That is added up by me being an average looking female warrior and Hugo being preoccupied with capturing the prince, and... that is why he looked towards me first. As he was surprised that a female warrior who is not even an adult is going to fight with him, a Magus who can crush her without moving... That must be his thought. We have already subdued the prince of any magical Tool and also his magic if he has one... with the help of a 'Shadow Nerf' that can absorb the Mana of the person and magical tools around him. Thus completely making any target lose his guard and making him unable to use any Magic. It can also bind a person's physical strength that's why the prince was not even able to scream for help when he was drowned by Hugo.

Seren had it for using it in an emergency when her life is in threat, it was is given by her mother. But, she decided to give it to us for capturing the Prince, even though I repeatedly convinced her to not give it away when I'm not around to protect her. "oof! She takes everything too carelessly and that's why I am always worried about her," So I had to give my 'Protection emulate' to her, which is basically an offensive defense tool. It gives the user the ability to make an Illusion of themselves and that Illusion can be used as an attack. Several illusions can be made with enough mana Crystals power and it can be pushed forward to attack the enemies. It is basically like making a dark clone of yourself and pushing them towards the enemy, then it will fly towards the target and make an explosion after making the contact. So now, I gave the 'Shadow Nerf' to Hugo, he was able to trigger the Shadow Nerf just before he Captured the Prince without being noticed by other Magi's.

"How was the surprise...? Did you like it?" *Smirk* I mocked him, he only turned his head towards me. His Robe is soaked with the blood of the horse that we had deliberately put there to prank him. That was definitely irritating and we might have pissed him now if he was not enraged by the fact that we have captured the Prince right under his nose. It will cause him so much humiliation even if now he is somehow able to return with the prince... that we make sure will never happen!

"How dare you fools play a trick on me? I will make you pay for thi~" *Threatening Voice*

"Aw! stop with your bullshit... *Extremely Disappointed* Let me kill you already!" I interjected in the middle of his speech. Like who wants to listen to that same old slang, and here I thought he will say something that will threaten me even a little or maybe he will attack me right away for the prank we did... I was prepared for that and not these absurd talk 'How dare you, I will make you pay, blah blah blah...', like a typical stupid guy talking about taking revenge for his kin's murder.
