I Just Want A Peaceful Life Chapter 209
Advertisement
The following day, Angus wakes up and finds Jayna naked in his arms. He couldn't help but kiss his fiery blonde girlfriend and wake her up.
"Morning, Beautiful." said Angus.
"M-Morning, Angus." call Jayna, who starts getting embarrassed being naked and try to hide her body with the blanket.
Looking at this, Angus wants to eat Jayna again. But, he restrains his urges and decides to get out of bed. He needed to report his deed during his infiltration yesterday and make the follow-up plan.
After having a little chat with a little bit of kissing, Angus and Jayna dress up before going to the clan head Jade's tent. Arriving at the tent, they found there were already a few clan elders inside the tent.
As soon as Angus entered the tent, "My dear nephew, you are back. So, How is it?" asked Jade directly.
"It's great. I managed to…" replied Angus while he began to tell a short story about his deed.
After Angus's explanation, everyone was surprised that Angus managed to do all this alone. Some of them even doubted Angus's story.
However, before they could express their doubt, "Excellent, no wonder the other villagers packed their things and got from the Ancestral Ruin in a hurry a few hours ago. It seems you managed to create chaos and discord among them." said Jade as he truthfully trusted Angus.
"Gilford, how potent is your poison?" asked Jade.
"If it truly works its wonder. It should render anyone from fourth-grade combatant below in sickness for weeks. The lower their grade will also make the poison become more potent. Without proper medical attention, they may die anytime."
"However, I believe they have some medicine to counter it since it is a poison from the Plague Worm, which is located near the Black Rock village location. Still, this will make them unable to exert full strength for a few weeks." explained Gilford.
"Great. According to Angus, the enchanter only consists of low-grade combatants. Although they may not die, they will be unable to stabilize the barrier and will reveal their camp." said Jade.
"Then, Clan leader, this is an opportunity for us to strike them. Their force is weak and poisoned." said one of the village elders.
"No, we can't do that. Even if their force is weakened, it can only happen to their fourth-grade combatant below. According to Angus, each village has around two to three fifth grade combatants in the camp." said Jane, the eldest daughter of Jade.

"Furthermore, they also got reinforcement when their village leader arrived. I believe each village has four to five fifth-grade combatants, which make around twenty fifth-grade combatants in total. This is a force we can't handle in a frontal confrontation." added Jane.
"Jane is right. For now, frontal confrontation is out of question." replied Jade.
"Then, what should we do, clan leader? We can't just stay still waiting for our doom." said another elder.
"Actually, we can wait." said Angus.
"Huh?? What do you mean?" asked Jade.
"When I infiltrate their camp, their lower grade combatant seems to can't adapt well to the desert environment. This way, they will be forced to spend mana or resources on maintaining their condition."
"Moreover, their current barrier is collapsing, which makes them unable to rest properly under the scorched desert. As for the fifth-grade combatant, although they are strong, they also need to come out and push back the monster nearby." explained Angus.
"This will deplete their energy. A week surviving in the Surya desert is not easy without being fire resistant. As someone who has lived in this place for a long time, I bet all you understand this." added Angus.
"True. However, the other villagers could also hide in their tent or something similar from the hot desert environment and recuperate themself." said Gilford.
"Yes, but we still could force them to come out. Remember when I said they need to keep hunting monsters nearby? What if they need to send another force to subdue the monster." said Angus.
"You mean we will ambush their monster-hunting team as you did?" asked Kurvan, the eldest son of Jade.
"Yes, although I hate the thought of working together with that miasma creature, but since they use that Plague Worm first, we could also use the monster to our advantage." replied Angus.
"It's a plausible idea. However, what if their village leader comes out?" asked Isvel.
"Then, we can…" Angus begins to tell his plan to everyone.
After a lengthy discussion, they went back to their respective places according to their plan. Then, Angus, Isvel, along with a few elders create teams for infiltration. Each team will consist of four to five people.
Unfortunately, most Sur villagers focus on the frontal battle rather than infiltration since they live in the desert, where it is difficult to hide. However, their current focus is not sneaking like Angus before but a fast team that could strike fast and retreats.

Angus decided to create his team that could at least hide their presence under the camouflage item. After a few days of searching, Jade finally procured some camouflage items according to their initial plan.
These items will be used by Angus's team, who are good at hiding their presence. Now, Angus is looking at the few people in front of him with Abet.
"So, they are the best spy in Sur village?" asked Angus to Abet.
As Angus decided to create a team that specialized in sneaking, he chose to ask Abet as the guard leader and the person with good sneaking ability himself.
"Yes, most of them are only low-grade combatants. However, their sneaking ability is the best in our village."
"Don't worry, we are only going to sneak around without having a frontal battle," said Angus.
"Then, which one do you choose?" asked Abet.
"I choose.. him, her, and her, and... finally him. Yup, these four people." said Angus while pointing to the few people in front of him.
"Err, Are you sure? All of them are low-grade combatants?"
"Yup, Besides, as I said before, we are going to be sneaking around not having a battle." said Angus once again.
"Alright, then. Agni, Fira, Rose, and Kay. From now on, you will be under young master Angus's command!!" said Abet.
"Yes, sir." replied the four people at once.
"Make sure you take care of young master Angus. Otherwise, you will receive hell from me." said Abet to the four people seriously.
"Y-Yes, sir." replied the four people with uncertainty.
'It seems they are also receiving good discipline training.' thought Angus inwardly.
"Alright, as you know, my name is Angus. I will not demand many things. I only want you to obey my command without any hesitation, and don't worry, none of you will die under my command." said Angus.
"Yes, young master Angus." replied the four people.
"Just call me sir or Angus during our mission. Now, pack your things, and we will immediately go out in fifteen minutes." command Angus.
"Alright, sir." replied the four people before going towards their respective places.
After that, Angus goes towards his tent. Arriving at his tent, Jayna is also preparing her stuff. She also decides to join the infiltration plan after a long heated discussion.
Although Angus is initially reluctant to let her go, he also realizes Jayna's fire mastery along with [Hellfire] is great power in terms of destruction. She could catch off guard some fourth-grade combatant and great fighting power at the same time.
Furthermore, her movement skill mastery is also great, making her a great ambusher and safely retreat.
Looking at Jayna packing her things, "Are you sure about this?" asked Angus.
"*Sigh* Angus, I know you worried about me. But, I am still the same as before. I am a person that pursues the power to decide my own fate." said Jayna.
"Yeah, I am sorry. I just can't bear you getting hurt." said Angus.
"It's okay. Besides, I will go with one of the fifth-grade elders this time. It should be safe for me. Besides, there will be Ilgor protecting me." replied Jayna.
"Alright, then. Just send me a signal in case you are in a dangerous situation." said Angus.
"Yup, you too. Be careful. Your task is more dangerous than mine." said Jayna.
Then, both of them begin to pack all their belongings and check their equipment. After one last check, they go to their respective meeting place.
Arriving at the meeting place, Angus already found his team ready in their combat attire. Most of them were wearing brown sand clothes that were easy to move. After checking their equipment and provision, Angus gives each of them an invisible cloak.
The quality of these cloaks is inferior to Angus's artifact. But, they are still better than nothing. After wearing the cloak, Angus takes out the map that he drew during the last few days of his infiltration.
"For now, we will be going out to the Ancestral Ruin while under the invisible cloak. Meet me at this location." said Angus while he pointed to the location on the map.
Then, he dismissed his team. Angus and his team immediately wear their own cloak and activate their invisible feature before walking silently towards the Ancestral Ruin entrance.

Ursus Ex Machina
Ozzy was a man of the wild. Raised in a remote village atop the world's mightiest mountain, he'd been taught to respect and revere the natural world. The realm he was born into had been there long before him, and it would remain there long after him. Sure, there was the occasional madman who threatened to destroy it, but such boasts were always empty. No one individual was actually capable of demolishing this beautiful blue-and-green ball Ozzy called home. No matter what terrible magics these villains wielded, they were incapable of causing permanent harm to the environment. Even if the planet was completely devastated, it would recover. Life would find a way to flourish, same as it always had. That was what Ozzy believed from the bottom of his heart, so he never once felt the need to save the world he loved. After all, it was never truly in danger. The world would be fine no matter what. The people were a wee bit endangered, but that was another story altogether. However, what would happen if Ozzy suddenly found himself devoid of his beloved wilds? What would the man do if the realm he knew - one of wonder, magic, and chaos - was replaced with a man-made environment of concrete, industry, and steam? Ozzy could never imagine such a thing happening, and yet that was his new reality. After losing a fateful confrontation with a mad wizard, he and his friends found themselves transported to a strange world so thoroughly alien that every waking moment feels like a fever dream. Separated and scattered to the four corners of this land, each of these adventurers will need to adapt, survive, and overcome if they hope to reunite. They would also need to do so quickly. The sooner they are able to find one another, the sooner they can figure out a way back home and have another crack at putting an end to the villain's plans. Whether such a thing was actually possible in a world with barely any magic in it was a valid concern, but Ozzy had more immediate things to worry about. For instance, why did the air smell like a perpetual forest fire? How did ships sail through the sky as if it were water? And most importantly, was the pavement he was hurtling towards at high speed much softer than it looked? Probably not, but a man could hope.
