After the villages gather their people, "Why are there only this many people?" said Datun, the village leader of black rock village.
"Most of them still recuperate from your poison, dumbass." said Mirva.
"Like I said, it is not me who poisoned our men." rebuked Datun.
"Yeah, say that when you have the medicine for the poison. Like anyone will believe a dumbass like you." replied Mirva.
"Y-You come here, you bitch!!" Yelled Datun while he released his mana.
Before they could clash, "Alright, that's enough. Now, our priority is to intercept and kill Sur village." said Farkas
"Then, how should we do it? I heard from my spy that they decided to take many different directions." said Estar while he put a map on the table.
"We should spread out our people in this location. The one that encounters them will immediately give a signal towards the others." said Datun.
"Alright, however, I don't trust you guys. I will lead my own people." said Mirva.
"Good enough. Just remember to send the signal when you find them." said Farkas.
"Then, let's move out." said Estar.
The four villages immediately spread out in various directions forming a net for the Sur village, leaving their main camp with few people to guard. Not long after the other villages' forces spread out, a big sandstorm came enveloping the area.
"Tch… What horrible weather. I can't believe the Sur village managed to stay in this land for so long." said Datun while he decided to create an emergency tent to take cover.
In a nearby location, "Hurry!! set up the emergency tent!!" command Mirva.
"Sandstorm at this time?? What horrible timing?" said Estar from another location.
"A sandstorm… I have a bad feeling about this." said Farkas while commanding his people to set up an emergency tent.
In the meantime, Angus looking at [Hurricane] on the horizon, turned into a massive sandstorm with a cold face.
"This is Angus. How is the situation?" said Angus towards the communication device in his hand.
"This is Rose. The monsters are on the way." replied Rose, Angus's teammate.
"This is Agni. The monsters are also on the way." replied Agni
"This is Kay. The monster is chasing after me!!" replied Kay.
"This is Fira. The monsters are also on the way." replied Fira.

"Good, release the monster and hide now!!" command Angus.
"Yes, Sir!!" replied the others.
Then, Angus dialed another number on his communication device. "This is Angus. The monster is on the way." said Angus.
"This is Elder Moi. We are in the position." said Elder Moi.
"This is Elder Fosa. We are in the position." said Elder Fosa.
"This is Jane. We are also in the position." replied Jane
"Good, wait for the signal. Before proceeding with the next plan." said the village leader Jade through the communication device.
In a moment, the sandstorm hit the other villages' main camp and its nearby area. The sandstorm raged through the whole area for a dozen minutes before finally stopping.
Not long after that, in the other village's main camp, a beast roar was heard from various directions. *Roarr*
"M-Monster… The monster is coming here!!" shouted the nearby sentry guard.
The main camp becomes chaotic. Most of the people who stay in the camp only consist of lower-grade combatants and poisoned combatants.
Some quick-witted people decide to immediately contact their village leader and send an emergency signal in the air. *BOM* *BOM* *BOM*
Looking at the emergency signal from their main camp, all the village leaders have ominous premonitions about this. Soon, they decide to abandon their post leaving only a few fifth-grade combatants to keep the net.
In the meantime, the monsters already reach the main camp as they are attracted from all the mana inside the camp.
The poisoned people need to keep using mana to expel and fight the poison. Fortunately, this act only attracts the nearby monster that Angus's team lure. For these monsters, the main camp is the same as a bright beacon.
Soon, the monster and the remaining people in the main camp begin to clash with each other. The poisoned people also decide to fight for their life which also worsens their current condition.
"Shit!! Why is the rune trap not working?!!" said one of the people in the main camp.
At the same time, Angus already takes control of the rune trap and deactivates them forcefully to make a path for the monster creating havoc inside the camp. Then, he and his team also do not just stand idle and begin to sneak into the chaotic main camp.
Unlike before, they could easily enter the main camp since no barriers are protecting the place. Entering the enemy camp, Angus immediately takes out several metallic orbs that he got from Gilford.

These metallic orbs are magical bombs. They are also one of the products of magical engineering. Because of their destructive nature and the complicated method to create it, few people could procure it.
Even Jayna and Angus, who receive supplies from their respective fathers, only have one or two of such items. According to Jayna, the heart kingdom itself only possesses several of these magical bombs.
In Firuman, this item is similar to Colossus and Titan, completely heavily regulated by the gremlin race. Only their races managed to produce and supply this thing.
Magical bombs also have their grade. Grade one magical bomb is similar to a hand grenade. Grade two magical bomb similar to C4 bomb. As for the grade three above, nobody knows about their destruction scale since it rarely appears.
Currently, Angus possesses many grade one magical bombs from Gilford and two grade two from his father's supply. For this case, Angus plans to use only grade one magical bomb.
Then, Angus and his team begin to implant the grade one magical bombs all over the place, especially near the biggest tent. He plans to damage the tent and expose the camp's people to the scorched Surya desert environment.
After implanting the bomb all over the place, they immediately get out of the camp as they feel the other village leader move back. A few moments later, the other village leader managed to return and directly kill the rampaging monsters.
While the camp destruction and monster occupy the other village leader, the Sur village elders, along with Jayna and others, begin to engage with the fifth-grade combatant who tried to intercept them.
However, they are less in terms of quality and quantity than the Sur village team. Just as their fifth-grade leader tries to signal to their village leader to move back, *FIUTT* a blazing fire is coming from the air like a meteor [Meteorite Smash]. *BLAAAR*
The whole emergency camp was immediately destroyed by [Meteorite Smash] and created a huge crater. Most of the fifth-grade combatants in this area were wounded, with only a few lucky survivors from the lower combatant.
A person in blazing flame armor comes out from the middle of the crater. Jade, the Sur village leader, begins to release massive pressure towards the surrounding area. The pressure is so intense that even the other village leader in the camp could feel it.
"That is Jade!! Shit, this is only a diversion!! Quick end to all of these monsters." shouted Farkas.
The other village leaders also start not to hold back and kill the monsters faster. Then, they begin to gather their force and go towards the Jade location.
At this moment, Jade and the other village elder already managed to kill a few fifth-grade combatants along with their subordinates. Then, immediately going back to the Ancestral Ruin.
Inside the Ancestral Ruin, the other village will think twice to create an open fight against the Sur village. Angus and Jade use this kind of loophole to their advantage.
At the same time, just as the combatant inside the camp feels relieved from their village leader's help, *BOM* *BOM* *BOM* a booming sound is heard all over their camp. The magical bomb that Angus's team planted before exploded.
Many poisoned combatants who still recuperate also got hurt from the magical bomb. Moreover, the majority of the tents in the camp were destroyed.
"Damn it!!" curse Datun, who is just going halfway towards the Jade location.
"Shit!!" cursed Mirva, who just departed from the main camp.
"T-This…" as Farkas becomes speechless at this development.
All the village leaders feel like they are being played by Sur village. They don't even know whether to pursue Jade or back to their camp. Finally, after a hard decision, they decide to return to their camp and abandon pursuing Jade.
In the meantime, Angus and his team are hidden with the invisible cloak far away from another village camp. They keep observing the camp situation from far away.
"Fiuuh… Fortunately, everything is working according to the plan. Now, let's begin with the next task. This is the hardest and tiring part, but I need you all to preserve it." said Angus towards his team.
"Yes, sir." replied the others while wearing the camouflage cloak.
"Alright, for now, let's go to this area to look for any survivors. We need to finish the remaining survivors while waiting for the enemy's next movement." said Angus, expressionless.
