After the confidant left, Bichu’er paced back and forth in the hall, clearly still worried. He found the Minotaur Lita who was taking minutes for the meeting.
"Lita, haven’t you recently been sent to investigate locations at various tribes? How are their current situations?"
The Dragon Race Maiden felt slightly guilty.
Always keeping in contact with Shami, the Dragon Race Maiden knew Shami had recently started taking action, and there were significant casualties in almost all tribes.
But what she didn’t expect was that the meeting table was peaceful, with no one mentioning the invasion.
Deception and cover-ups being taken to extremes!
However, isn’t Bichu’er being overly cautious?
They clearly have a weekly meeting, and he arranged for confidants to monitor, also sending her as the inspector to check on various tribes. Under such a cautious three-layer supervision, it’s almost impossible for anything to go wrong.
—Unless the first layer of supervision is lying, the second layer has been bribed, and the third layer isn’t one of their own.
"They’re... they’re all pretty good... Lord Bichu’er, this is the latest location map of the tribes you asked me to make..."
The Dragon Race Maiden mumbled as she handed over the completed map to Bichu’er.
Upon hearing the Dragon Race Maiden’s words, Bichu’er slowly relaxed his tightly furrowed brows.
With a threefold guarantee, there shouldn’t be any problems.
Demon Race’s small forest branch.
A Teleportation Gate opened in the center of the small forest, and Shami stepped out, anxiously looking around.
Sure enough, the small forest was empty, the Pink Minotaur and Jelly were nowhere to be found.
He ran to the edge of the forest and looked up, just as two elves flew overhead, and seeming figures of elves could be seen in the far plain.
"It’s practically an Elf Race outdoor excursion. Where are my magical creatures? Don’t tell me they’ve already clashed with the Elf Race and been wiped out. At such a crucial moment, problems can’t arise."
Although it was the first time seeing so many elves, Shami had no mood to deal with them, feeling somewhat flustered.
He left the Demon King Mark on both the Pink Minotaur and Slime Jelly, allowing him to sense their status as long as they were within a certain range.
He tried sensing the Demon King Mark on the Pink Minotaur and Slime Jelly, but there was no feedback.
Shami solemnly sat down on the ground.
"At this point, I can only try that method."
Shami used skill points to upgrade the [Briefing] skill to view the levels of magical creature leaders.
[Skill Name: Briefing (Advanced)]
[Content: Form a briefing of events related to Demon Envoy. The Demon King, sitting in the observation seat, can remotely understand the situation of Demon Envoy through the briefing. But it only has viewing functionality, unable to impose his will.]
[Additional: Binding a leader of a magical creature to form a briefing of related events of the magical creature leader. The Demon King can remotely understand the situation of the magical creature leader through the briefing. But it only has viewing functionality, unable to impose his will.]
Shami bound the Pink Minotaur and Jelly to the leaders’ positions of the [Minotaur Race] and [Slime Race].
[Ding, binding successful!]
[Recent briefing transmitted back.]
"Check the latest briefings of the two."
Shami entered the observation seat to start viewing what happened to the Pink Minotaur and Jelly.
[The Minotaur Chief Pink Minotaur and Slime Leader Jelly are in the Demon Race’s small forest branch, with Jelly sunbathing and Pink Minotaur drawing support signs.]
"Judging by the sky, this should have been a few hours ago."
Shami continued to focus.
[The figure of elves appeared on the horizon, and the Pink Minotaur and Jelly simultaneously noticed possible unknown danger approaching.]
[’Oh no, my tribe’s companions are still on the plain, I need to return to defend them!’]
[The Pink Minotaur hurriedly ran towards the plain.]
"Unexpectedly responsible, Pink Minotaur. You’ve got me seeing you differently."
Shami felt even more anxious seeing this.
The newly established Minotaur Tribe by Pink Minotaur boasts over fifty Minotaur Warriors, all summoned from various prairie herds in the Aoja Kingdom.
Now these ranches have noticed quite a few missing cattle and began sending guards to watch over the herds.
"Gaining Minotaur Warriors again wouldn’t be simple."
The perspective remained on this small forest.
[In the small forest, the sunbathing Jelly opened its eyes, lightly jumped into the air, and used Clone Technique to split into 100 small slimes.]
Honestly, Shami hadn’t seen Jelly split slimes for some time. On closer inspection, he astonishingly found that these newly split slimes quickly leveled up to 3 with Jelly’s tree gum feeding.
"Wait, Slime hatchlings can level up to 3 immediately after splitting?"
[The giant Jelly quickly shrunk to a third of its original size, and the level 3 small slimes scattered in all directions. Jelly also jumped away in one direction. The small forest quieted down.]
Shami thought for a moment and then understood, widening his eyes in surprise.
"It turns out, the plan is to divert the elves’ attention with slimes scattered across the plains so that this small forest goes unnoticed?! Even personally taking action, it really..."
Shami’s nose felt a bit sore.
"Actually, the small forest is just a temporary base. It wouldn’t matter much if discovered."
He continued to watch.
[Jelly arrived on the plain, bouncing in the bright weather, quickly attracting the attention of an elf team. This was a team of three, two females and one male, all with golden hair and pointed ears. Upon seeing the giant slime, they expressed shock.]
[’This must be a Slime, right?’]
[’I’ve never seen such a huge Slime before. Its skin is so smooth, as blue as the sea.’]
[The two Elf Maidens were greatly surprised by the sudden appearance of the Slime.]
"So these are the elves? Seeing their appearance, they indeed look quite good, but they can’t compare to plain blonde at all."
With comparison comes truth. Comparing the two fairly attractive Elf Maidens in front of him, Shami found that the plain blonde truly was unbeatable.
[At this moment, the Intermediate 4th stage Elf boy drew his Long Sword, eager to try. Intermediate 4th stage is considered a lagging level among Elf students. ’But if I bring back the corpse of this giant Slime, it’ll surely prove my strength. After all, a Slime is a magical creature.’]
"As expected, conflict with the Elf Race is unavoidable? Jelly, quickly escape, you’re no match for the elves..."
[The Elf boy charged at Slime Jelly with his Long Sword.]
[Slime Jelly stared intently, activating: Cleverness. Slime Jelly instantly saw through the Elf boy’s attack direction, knocking him far away with a collision.]
"Where’s this Cleverness?! Clearly, it’s from fighting alongside me too many times, getting used to combat routines, and picking on the opponent’s inexperience in fighting! Are Elf Race boys this weak? Looks like you can win!"
[’Gigantic body but such agile speed?! What a joke, I’m an elf, there’s no way I could lose so easily!’ The Elf boy, having been knocked far, dusted himself off while running back and charged again.]
[Before long, Slime Jelly became annoyed with the Elf boy in front of it. ’Slime Style: Tree Gum Binding’! A glob of tree gum sprayed from Jelly’s mouth, binding the Elf boy to the ground.]
"It appeared! The nonexistent [Style]! Don’t use such resource-wasting skills casually! Tree gum is quite valuable too! Seems like the elves aren’t too strong, along with the two Elf Maidens, Jelly should be able to protect itself..."
Shami breathed a slight sigh of relief.
[The two Elf Maidens exchanged a glance.]
[’Didn’t the Slime provoke us?’]
[’And it’s so overly cute, I can’t bring myself to harm it. We might even get counterattacked.’]
[’Besides, the conflict was all his fault.’]
[The two Elf Maidens wisely bowed to Jelly and left with the Elf boy.]
[’Sorry for the disturbance.’]
"Super polite! They actually left directly!"
