The Golem Mage

Chapter 335: Not Chaotic Enough ... 6

The two scouts who had been sent to deliver Alec’s location to both the Orc chief and the Root who was the leader of the plant army had finally returned to the Academy city.

They stood behind the captain, awaiting his orders.

"What is the new update?" the captain asked without even turning around.

"Sir, the Root was filled with rage when he heard that Alec was heading towards the Beast King Region, and He has quickly gathered Around a hundred other powerful plant lifeforms and began chasing after him hoping to get Alec this time," one of the scouts reported.

"With the Root out of the picture, taking care of what is remaining of the Plants army to claim the mine should not be a problem," the scout on the captain’s right added, providing the details of his mission.

"Very good. Despite their great strength, not all plant lifeforms are intelligent, This seems to be nature’s way of maintaining balance. Otherwise, they might be considered one of the strongest races in the Abyss,"

The captain remarked before turning to the scout on his left for his own reports.

"Well, the Orc king has also led an army of fifty wolf rider Orcs to chase after Alec. Although he is seriously injured, he should have no trouble dealing with Alec and his gang. However..." the scout hesitated.

"But what? If the Orc king doesn’t attack Alec, I won’t have a chance to take over the mine, Alec is the bait in my plan, a distraction until I acquire the Power Stone veins,"

The captain interjected, highlighting the importance of Alec’s role.

"So nothing must come in between it!" the captain firmly declared, cutting off the second scout.

"The Orc chief seems to consult his shaman before making most of his decisions. I felt it was important for you to know."

" He wouldn’t have even agreed to meet me if his shaman hadn’t approved. Therefore, this shaman must be a key figure for us to be aware of," the scout explained.

"I see. In that case, we may have to remove the Orc chief from our plans," the captain concluded.

"But why?" the scout asked almost instantly, as that would mean his importance would be reduced.

"Because those who rely on gods for instructions are always unpredictable and should be avoided at all costs. If things get worse, we will find a way to kill the Orc chief’s shaman and sever his connection with the gods. In the meantime, he will be left without a medium to communicate with,"

The captain explained, emphasizing the need to eliminate the Orc chief’s reliance on the gods.

In the past, whenever he had ventured onto a battlefield, there had always been an elder or clan enforcer overseeing his actions, ensuring that he never faced serious consequences, or was in danger of death.

Consequently, he had never taken things as seriously as he should have.

However, now he was acutely aware that his life could be snuffed out in an instant.

This newfound realization had compelled him to accept Alec’s group as the leading party, while he continued to pester and annoy them along the way.

"Shhhhh, do you hear that!"

Alec hushed Pale, his attention drawn to peculiar sounds as they entered the beast-infested forest.

"I have a feeling that there’s a strange energy in the air, I’ll investigate to determine the source of this phenomenon,"

Agnes who had moved up front stated, summoning her wand and transforming it into its staff form.

She slammed the staff down, attempting to read the mana signals in the area.

As a deep brown light swept through the forest, emanating from Agnes in a circular pattern.

Just as the circle neared the bushes, a beast leapt forward, emitting a peculiar sound as it advanced towards the defenceless Agnes.

The creature swung its claws in an attempt to disrupt whatever Agnes was doing.

Its actions alone demonstrated a high level of intelligence, as if it knew that the spell would expose its hidden location in the bushes.

The rest of the group was too exhausted to react and stop the beast, including Alec, who had only regained about 50% of his powers.

Kelvin, the twins, and the other mages were still far behind.

The only ones in close proximity to Agnes were Alec and Pale.

Alec knew he wouldn’t reach her in time.

He even visualized summoning Titan, but he understood that by the time the summoning was complete, the beast would have already reached Agnes, rendering his efforts in vain.

Helplessly, the entire group could only watch as the beast’s fangs approached Agnes, poised to tear off her head.
