Master Of None

”Another weird thing? Is this demon lord trying to make thighs as confusing as possible just to hide what he’s actually doing?” Gil was a little more frustrated than before now that he knew that the demon lord had basically separated the mage soldiers from the basic physical soldiers. As far as he could tell, it was removing half the military power he had.

”We have some theories but it’s not that easy to guess. Found something in the ruins? Has a magic attack planned? Is trying to rebuild these lands completely? Is trying to leave this land with ruins magic? Found some hidden library and has gathered magic power?”

”So there’s still too much to really understand what he is doing. However, you do know that this Gluttony is in the capital and has the ability to consume the mana of other beings. They sound like Greed.” Su could not help but relate the skills that Greed had used to the skills that Gluttony was using.

”That is an enemy we do not fully know. Any information about the Gluttony title is good. I do not recommend believing that it is the same. Greed was owning all things. Gluttony should be consuming all things.” Scylla was very clear with what she knew about the title and how tough an opponent the Gluttony title holder may be.

”I agree with Scylla, if we make assumptions we will lose before we are there. Take the village first then we will worry about other things.” Alma wanted to rush to the village after being told that the demon soldiers were planning on dividing it up as their own personal playground. ”I hope we can deal with more slime making things too…”

The dark and stone elves were very clear about how dangerous the slimes were. They were able to cause massive damage to the environment on top of the fact that they damaged people just as much, if not more. Their time in the caves had not made them forget about the closeness to nature. It had actually made them closer to their affinities because they lived within it at all times compared to the forest elves who were born within multiple elemental manas at all times.

”Here is how we will handle the village. No more theories, we have to face the reality.” Alma spoke up before the next round of ideas come out. Scylla appreciated this because she was feeling the very same about that.

”Well, I was going to make my own plans, but I will listen to yours.” Scylla had a sly smile. It was even better that she would be able to improve Alma’s plan after hearing it. A play for battle always went better when more generals came together to build it.

”I have my mages here, a few that can make walls. We can encircle the entire village while the dragonkin enter, and one of Ventus’s children come from the sky. We clear out the soldiers capturing who we can. We also find their captain who sounds like he is going to do the worst of the deeds in that village. Simple and efficient. Ranged fighters take the side of the walls we make temporarily and close combat enters the village to handle tie soldiers.”

”That is simple. Simple is better. We are not a force that has been training together for years, we need simple to better execute things.” Scylla saw no issues but decided to add a few things here and there. ” Just ensure that we also have an evacuation route for the demons inside who need to run from battle. I also want those with close combat magic at our call. We may have some hostages in danger.”

”Remey, that means you, Onyx, and Midnight should be ready to attack if you hear someone shout. You three have the best chance of separating a soldier from an innocent demon the fastest. The dragonkin are better at defeating their opponents while the elves will be better at longer range attacks.” Walker looked around and caught a few shadows with his gaze.

”I know you are Mordant’s dragonkin. You have much more exposed darkness elemental mana. Fleur and I had noticed it for a while now. We have been on high alert for changes in mana.” Walker had been on edge but it had been sharpening his sense for mana. ”You should also be ready to sneak up and clear buildings. There may be people hiding that need someone to escort them out of danger.”

”Yes lord.” five whispers barely audible came from the shadows around. No one had realized that Walker had been sensing them the entire time. They wondered just how much Walker had been improving during this sleepless journey toward the demon capital city.

”Sister says she doesn’t want to risk Ventus’s children being hurt,” Onyx spoke up for Midnight. Walker had been able to feel her unease as well.

”They won’t be. I will be taking the time to watch the skies to protect them. Walker and Scylla said they spotted physical fighters and no long ranged attacks. But if we do find them, between Su and I…nothing will touch them.” Gil had a feeling that he would be the best to defend from such attacks.

The wind was his close ally now. He could use it as he wished for some protection that an archer normally wouldn’t be able to do. If an arrow was fired at him, he had confidence that he could use the pull of his bow with wind elemental mana to deflect it. There was just a lingering feeling that he did not need to worry about such things.

”The stone elf mages can help me make a walled defense too. Walker was able to help and so should they since they have the ability to make earth walls.” Su and the earth spirit looked at the stone elf who was fairly surprised by this.
