Hi there, sorry for the delay. I just moved in to my new rental house and I couldn't steal the time to write. Even this chapter was below average. I'll improve it in the future.

If you noticed, the body of animals and humans that were killed by the werewolves weren't disappear unlike the monsters or beastmen than MC or the Orcas killed. I'm finding a good way to explain this to avoid any loophole.

Thank you for reading my fiction.

Beastmen Brigade Regional Camp – Yesterday – Afternoon

“Captain Arturas, I have something to report”, said a beastman with an upper body of a tiger who entered the room.

“What is it, Lieutenant Tristan?” asked Arturas.

Arturas was the highest rank officer in the camp who lead 300 troops which were part of Beastmen Brigade of Forest Knight. Arturas was a bearman, hailed for his explosive strength and in the Beastmen Brigade, strength were everything.

Initially, the Forest Knight only have an elves as their members. But, the last war has changed its structure. The massive influx of beastmen refugee forced the Isebial Kingdom to form a Beastmen Brigade and assimilated them into the Forest Knight. This brigade were responsible to monitor all the beastmen refugee and to make sure they obey the law of the kingdom.

“The Whisperers said, the centaurs seek help from the werewolves to attack the human village. Eventually, they got defeated again”, replied Tristan.

“Defeated again?” Arturas seem couldn’t believe the news. “Did those elves said how many were the attacking troops?”

“They amount about 600 centaurs and 500 werewolves. The centaurs were leaded by Grufin and the werewolves were leaded by Bardalph. From the initial 500, the werewolves retreated with less than 200 troops. What’s more unbelievable, they were defeated by a dual element magic swordsman. His element was wind and earth”

“They even got a magic swordsman? There was no magic swordsman in yesterday’s report. Who are those humans? Where are they come from? They just pop out of nowhere”, thought Arturas with a stern face. In the last war, the magic swordsmen were the highest damage dealer among the human troops. Even the mage weren’t comparable to them.

“Did Bardalph survived?” asked Arturas. He was well informed about the beastmen in this area and was planning to recruit Bardalph into the Beastmen Brigade. Bardalph who possessed a Mirage skill, met a minimum requirement to join the Beastmen Brigade.

“He survived”, explained Tristan.

“Good”, Arturas felt relieved. “Thank you for the report. You’re dismissed”

“Captain, what should we do about those humans? They killed our brethren, I think we should attack them”

Arturas looked at Tristan’s face expressionlessly.

“We haven’t receive any order from the headquarter yet, so keep your head cool. One more thing, do not let our troops know about those humans. I don’t want any of them get a punishments from the higher-up”, said Arturas. Among the beastmen under his command, many of them had a deep scar when it came to humans. If they knew there were humans nearby, all hell breaks will loose.

“But, captain...”

“No but. Remember, we’re an ordinary beastmen no more, we’re the Beastmen Brigade. We can’t let our emotion cloud our judgement. I understand your resentment toward humans, but, like we’ve discussed yesterday, the humans in that village were not the same humans we faced in the last war. They weren’t there two days ago and our land was sealed, there is no way they are the same humans”.

“...”

“Just wait for the orders. The higher-up surely know what to do”, Arturas continued.

“I understand, captain”

Beastmen Brigade Regional Camp – Today – Afternoon

Arturas was standing in front of two elves who wore a green robe in a room full of veins. Those two were The Whisperers, who were dispatched from the Forest Knight headquarters to this regional camp to collect intelligence from the surrounding via the plants. That’s how they got their title, they listened to the plant’s whisper and communicate with them. This ability was special even among the elves.

Arturas was in the room since this morning because The Whisperers had an urgent news.

“Captain, the battle has ended. It was a one-sided massacre”, one of elves spoke after he lifted his hand from a three finger thick vein.

“How was it?”

“That magic swordsman was too strong. He used a strange skill to kill a werewolf elder and then kill a quarter of the werewolves troop. The werewolves can’t even lift a finger against him. His magic skill seem ordinary, but it was deadly”.

“Only a quarter?”

“Yes, only a quarter. But the centaur troops were almost annihilated except a few hundreds. Most of the centaurs were killed by a black sphere, and then he took out 10 metal golems to continue his massacre”

“Black sphere? Is it magic? Do you recognize the type of that black sphere’s element?”

“It is a magic I’ve never seen before and I can’t determine its elemental type. It sucked everything in its vicinity and destroyed them. No traces were left”.

“...”

“Report about that black spheres to the headquarters” “Yes, captain”

“Continue monitoring him. Inform me immediately if he make any movement” “Yes, captain”

Beastmen Brigade Regional Camp – Today – Night

‘CRUSH’

Arturas powerful grip crushed the edge of the table in front of him. His blood was boiling when he heard the news that the magic swordsman destroyed the werewolves den. At the same time, he also confused because he couldn’t comprehend the motive why that magic swordsman did it. In the battle this morning, he let most of the werewolves retreated, but suddenly he annihilated the entire tribe.

“There must be some reason”, thought Arturas as he looked at the fuming tiger man in front of him. “but, I shouldn’t hold anymore longer”

“Tristan, gather the troops. We will hunt that bastard tonight”

The tiger man’s eyes shone with excitement and grateful.

“Yes, Captain. But, how about the headquarters? We were ordered to met the troops they sent at the human town at the west”, asked Tristan.

“I’ll handle the headquarters. Go, we must set out as soon as possible”, ordered Arturas.

“Yes, Captain”, replied Tristan as he dashed out of the room.

“The headquarters skipped all our report regarding the human village and ordered us to go to the human town. I wonder what make them think that the threat of the magic swordsman was lesser that that town”, thought Arturas.

“Nevermind, I’ll capture that magic swordsman and hand him to the headquarters”, muttered Arturas as he walked out of the room.
