Master Of None

”We have five groups with adventurers, mixed soldiers, and healers ready to go to the different villages.’’ King August and King Rorick had put their heads tother to organize the groups. They made sure that there was a balance of warriors both defensive and offensive. They also met with the various dragonkin in charge to add them to their forces.

”Perfect. Ventus is almost back. I can see her in the distance. I just hope that she has some good news.” Walker was a little nervous. He wasn’t sure what Ventus would have seen while surveying the demon lands ahead of them.

Everyone knew that a full map of the demon lands was impossible because it would take a great deal of time. But a quick trip a couple of miles out would give them enough of a view to ensure that the soldiers would not march blindly.

When the wind around everyone became stronger, they turned their head to watch Ventus land. Many of them were still in awe of the many dragons on the move around their fellow soldiers. Most people had lived their entire lives not seeing a dragon.

”The news is not as good as you might want it.” Ventus was looking at Walker’s expectant gaze with a somber expression after she had released the two scribes and changed in to her dragonkin form.

”What did you find?” Walker knew that it couldn’t be easy if this was the reaction that Ventus had. Something had to be wrong further out in the demon lands.

”These two were able to see enough, but it’s what we saw that’s the problem. There are multiple slimes covering many villages. It seems that they are completely ignoring the people they have oppressed and are tossing them to the wind.” Ventus hated what she had seen and knew that this would mean the armies had to rush to get to villages.

”Purple and yellow slimes, right?” Walker spoke with steel in his voice. He was clearly angry knowing that there was another slime problem.

”There are some larger slimes and even a red slime that I did not expect to be here. Fire slimes would never be here in the wilds. They like volcanoes and incredibly hot hot springs.” Ventus knew this had to be the work of a unique demon.

”I suspect this is a demon sin title holder. We have run in to the slimes themselves and they are a slime breeder. We have the idea of what they look like but nothing else really…” Knowing that they were going to deal with someone that had been messing with them constantly did not make Walker happy. But there was a silver lining. ”If they are using the slimes, then there should be a chance for us to capture and defeat them. This slime tamer is a pain I am ready to forget.”

”More slimes? I don’t really need any more of them, since I saved some cores to be bred for potion ingredients. Let’s get moving and get rid of them.” Remey was unhappy to deal with more enemies that she could not specifically punch easily.

”Let’s just share what we know. The dwarven and elven soldiers already know how to beat the slimes that attacked the forest and dwarf cities. But this didn’t mean that handling them would be easy. They needed the right attacks to deal with each slime. Luckily, Water worked perfectly for the fire and acid slimes. The decaying purple slimes would need the magic attacks from mages more than the attacks from melee fighters. Overall, magic was the best attack for all three slimes.

”What is the word on reinforcements? If there are so many slimes everywhere we will need more people.” Gil was the first to ask. He knew that everyone had to be wondering the same thing.

”I can answer that.”

”Barry! You should not be up!” Su immediately scolded Barry when she heard his voice. But when she looked and saw that king Rorick was supporting him, she calmed herself a little.

”Don’t stress over me. I have medicines for my mastery skill’s drawbacks. It’s not the first time I used it but I know it’s much worse than other things I have done to my body.” Barry forced a smile while he looked at Rorick to continue.

”Scylla was held up with some issues. She is going to be bringing more supplies. But there is better news. The elves are on the way and could reach us in half a day. Apparently, there are some powerful support mages helping them. That’s all I know about that.” Gil seemed to become more energetic hearing that Alma was on the way with the levels. It meant that she had pushed herself to a great result.

”Since the elves are coming we should wait. We can send out small groups to help evacuate then send in attacking forces with the mages as the cores. Then the other soldiers will work on defense.” Gil was pushing his plan ahead and no one saw issues with it. This was the logical plan to follow since the elven mages had better chances of more easily beating the slimes. Regardless of their species.

Yet again the word was spreading through the groups that were about to leave. The mages that had been divided up changed positions and split up yet again. Now they were the center of the groups that were leaving. Ventus knew that her children would have no issues and gave them their commands. They each followed a specific group from there.

”We aren’t just sitting here. I have regained enough mana to move toward this village.” Walker put a finger down on the map that the scribes had created. It was the largest village that already had two groups heading to it. It was also a village that had multiple slimes marked around it. If they didn’t leave now there would be some problems.
