Abe the Wizard

Chapter 763: Time to Move

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Abel’s always had some determination for Griffins. If it weren’t for the diplomatic relationship between the duchy of St. Ellis and the duchy of Carmel, he would’ve gone to steal Griffins from King Ambrose a long time ago.

Now, with the information put before him, he was starting to have thoughts where he could take all ten Griffins as his own. As the humans would have it, anything that’s taken from the orcs belonged to the ones that snatched them away in the first place. The rule was absolute. As long as he was the first one to retrieve them, even the Kingdom of St. Ellis would have no choice but to leave them to him.

As for the Orc Empire, Abel actually didn’t care. The Orc Empire was in shambles now. Besides, King Ambrose was furious at the moment. He’d been spending a huge amount of gold to call for a genocide of the orcs. If anyone should be afraid, it should be those that tried to attack Prince Horace in the first place.

There was also something else that was extremely crucial. Even after the great war, both the humans and the orcs had yet to use their top elite force. Neither the advanced wizards nor advanced orc priests joined in. theThe Orc Empire could try to use their advanced priests to defend against the Kingdom of St. Ellis, but the consequences for that might just bring it closer to complete destruction.

To deescalate the situation, the Orc Empire had no choice but to withhold deploying their own advanced orc priests. The most that they could do was send large numbers of middle-low tier orcs into the wolf garden. Of course, this was the same as giving the human bounty hunters a free chance to hunt some heads, but the point was to deescalate the situation.

Right now, Abel was bringing Flying Flame, Johnson, and White Snow with him. They were all riding on top of White Cloud towards the wolf garden. He didn’t tell anyone where he was going this time. He told the duchy of Carmel and Harry Castle that he was going to do a shutdown training.

And no, safety wasn’t an issue for him. He had most of his summoned creatures with him. After being promoted several times, White Cloud was much faster in terms of its flying speed. For long-distance travel as this one, as long as it had the support of the blue howling rabbit “ration potion,” no time would be needed for it to find something to eat. This way, it could move anywhere without taking any break at all.

Two days after he left, Abel made his way into the wolf garden. White Cloud was invisible, so he had no problems getting close to Niyan City without being detected. He was about three miles away from Niyan City when he was watching it from the sky. As he could see, the city was not that small.

The walls were small, but it made sense. Worgens were never good at defending themselves. Instead of having something to protect themselves with, they’d rather have the chance to attack anything that might be threatening them. Speed and explosive powers were their strongest advantage. With walls that were trapping them, they would not be able to use their full fighting potential.

Anyways, the humans knew that there were ten griffins locked up here. None of them managed to break through the defense of the wolfriders deployed here, but they were still trying. Abel didn’t mind that. He just wished that the orcs didn’t move them to another location.

“Fly lower,” he commanded White Cloud. When they were on a lower level, he was able to see everything that was going on inside Niyan City. Worgens were walking everywhere. It might look like they were just carrying on with their lives, but given that they were all least in the level of being wolfrider captains, it was easy to tell that the whole city was in a state of emergency.

Abel thought to himself, “These worgens are clearly well trained. That’s not right. How did the scout break through this kind of security? How did he even get to see the griffins with his own eyes?”

He then spoke towards his elder sign card, “Battle command spirit?”

“Yes, Elder.”

“I want you to scan this city for me.”

“Yes, Elder. Please wait.

With Abel as the center, a very subtle wave was sent towards an area covering up all of Niyan City.

The command spirit reported, “Elder, I have detected two hundred wolfrider captains, twenty head wolfrider captains, twenty intermediate orc priests, and two human seclusion circles that are currently active. For the areas that are contained by the human seclusion circles, I am not able to detect what’s inside.”

“That calls for analysis, then. What’s the most likely interpretation of what you’re seeing?”

The command spirit replied, “There is a 60% likelihood that this is a trap, and 40% chance that this is an ambush targeted towards you. Given that there is a lack of information, this analysis may turn out to be false.”

From what the battle command spirit was telling Abel, there was a 100% chance that the orcs were trying to set up a death trap just for him.

“Where are the two seclusion circles?” Abel asked. Soon, he received information that labeled all the worgens and the two seclusion circles in this area.

“Those human scum,” he couldn’t help but curse. The human seclusion circles could only be traded. As it turned out, he wasn’t harsh enough to the George Family of the duchy of Carmel. Once he was back, he planned to exiles every nobleman who had ever traded with the Orc Empire.

The two seclusion circles were on either end of Niyan City. The design of the trap was very simple. If someone went to steal the griffins locked up inside the garden in the middle, orcs would come out from either side and make sure there was no chance for survival. Advanced Priest Daniel, Advanced Priest Cyrus, and another advanced priest would be waiting at another seclusion circle if it wasn’t enough.

Priest Cyrus inquired, “Are you sure Grandmaster Abel is coming, Daniel? You are the one that did all the planning for this operation. You are the one that should be held accountable.”

Priest Daniel’s eyes shined with wisdom, “Did you know, Cyrus? After doing a detailed analysis of everything I can find about Grandmaster Abel, I have found a crucial weakness in him.”

“Like what?”

“He’s a greedy man, that’s what. He is a wizard, but he goes after treasures that are of no use to the wizard class. Take the blood of the beastly god, for example. He was willing to infiltrate into the very deep parts of Mountain Nam for it.”

“For another, after becoming a duke, he has requested for all the noblemen in his domain to switch locations. This way, he would have possession of all the land that is involved.”

Priest Cyrus felt angry to hear this, “Mountain Nam. That just reminded him. Grandmaster Abel cannot be forgiven! It is a great sin to destroy a sacred item!”

The orcs still mistook Abel for one thing. Abel didn’t get the blood of the beastly god because he wanted it. He got it so that he could locate the ancient base that was at Mountain Nam.

Priest Daniel spoke, “Yes, he will pay for a great sin. We have sacrificed many lives and resources for him to come here. We are going to kill him right here, right here so that we can mourn for the loss of our sacred item!”
