Chapter 11 monster train~ and more

Mikhail snarled at the scene of his lasher tank being destroyed by these hunters, before slumping back to his chair thanks to the sacrifice his soldier made for him.

But he knew that wasn't the end, as the next lasher tank was driving towards the group with a few hundred or so of monsters in tow.

One other thing he noticed was the group was currently chaotic, as the 6th tier aura user picked up an individual before flying out hastily.

this made the hunters freak out as one of their powerhouses, the strongest one mind you, flew away!

this immediately made them begin their full retreat!

Then when they saw the monsters that the other 'elephant' they were hunting had brought to them..

they started hauling ass leaving their tents some left the cumbersome gear as their lives were more important than looking good.

the weaker ones, slower ones, and greedy ones all gotten trampled into the ground as the flesh looked like squashed watermelons.

But the last Lasher tank wasn't going to just let them leave that easily, so it began firing away causing more deaths as they had their backs turned to it thus the more desperate ones began firing their skills at the tank to which was dodged quite easily by this one.

But such actions were the worst decision to be made, as those attacks of theirs had struck the monsters that were after the tank... at first!

their attacks made the monsters change their focus onto them as it enraged the monsters for being attacked despite them not going after the group and devouring them!

things have gotten even worse for them when these beasts began using their abilities one after another.

since the sixth tier human had left Mikhail decided to have some extra fun, as he had entered the battlefield via Urd while it might a small monster... what do you think will happen if sonic waves set at a certain frequency can do to a human's perception?

within the ranks of the third tier hunters, Some of them started to vomit out of nowhere, many were unable to run properly because their senses seemed to be off, hell when the bat began upping the frequency even more it led to some of them losing control of their bowels through their armor and clothes!

yes, he had the bat imitate infrasound, and through the usage of its aura, the effects were even greater!

This was one of the reasons why he kept the little monster.

it can cause a variety of effects within crowds, it wasn't at the rate of incapacitation, but vertigo? disorientation? imbalance? these effects alone can lead to lethal outcomes when dealing with a horde of monsters~

the victims of the attack from Urd quickly fell under the ferocious means of these beast~

while the luckier ones managed to live another day As they felt that something weird was going on, as for the culprit Mikhail had already had Urd stop and stay out of sight as the monsters will do the job for his group as the final tank fired a few more rounds before escaping.

the hunters were forced to run for two days before the monsters finally stopped their pursuit~

their total survivors from the campaign of their's were reduced to less than 80 people...

This affected them in many ways as the infamy of the forest grew again as its title was "Monster's sanctuary" where monsters can strive and grow while any humans that try to enter would always leave someone behind no matter how prepared or how big their group was or even how powerful they were.

This Sanctuary will always claim people to help expand the forest!

Mikhail leaned back with a smirk as he rested his head on his left hand.

Proud that his experiment with Urd had succeeded and surpassed his estimation, The psychic couldn't help but chuckle to himself as the possible things he could bring forth with a monster's natural ability enhanced by its aura even if it had a minuscule amount as long as it had some...!

Mikhail began laughing like a mad scientist as more ideas that worked in the previous dreams and worlds such things that can come to life... such things that can bring ruin to armies, countries or even the world itself...!

Oh, How he wanted to try SO-MUCH-MORE!!!

he had the last lasher tank and Urd return to base as more than half a day was left before he could try a few other things.

-------

Time had passed and the first ore miner had appeared as it reported.

"Yuri's mining facility reporting!"

It looked like some kind of four-legged mechanical alien compared to the original look that it had, with five men that looked like Ant men with six arms, each carrying a shovel, rather than the human counterpart as these guys stood there so mindlessly.

he had his lasher tank act as a scout again to find a suitable location for their base, what wasn't mentioned earlier was that Urd was attacked by some flying monsters, however, thanks to its new favorite ability it managed to escape unscathed, and also reached the 1st tier!

Mikhail had also forgotten one important detail about his slave miner it can find any usable ores on its own but he had it stay near the base for now.

the lasher found a good spot within four days and during this time he had the barracks create a couple more initiates to help bolster his numbers, while the phantom queen ant was busy making more of its kin.

the area that the tank had found had a mist around it reducing the visibility of any who enters, yet via tank, they would remain unhindered, this was something that Mikhail had the driver test out by opening the hatch and looking out through his own eyes.

Mikhail had grown paranoid of any obstacle so he had another idea, multiple bases, the starting area of his will be an outpost as he sends a suitable number of his to the area to test it out first while having the kobolds build a makeshift wall around the perimeter to hopefully help against the regular monsters since the monsters that were with the 'train' were currently away as he had the barracks grow their numbers.

But what he liked, even more, was when the kobolds mentioned a mine that is used to gather ores and such by a kingdom called Gruifo named after the first king's last name, something that he didn't care about, what he wanted was more funds, more funds!

The kobolds weren't the best at giving information but it was certainly enough to make Mikhail decided to have Urd scout the place, as he was sincerely looking forward to what will be found.

As what he didn't know was that multiple groups of fifth tier spies, sent not only by the very kingdom that he was trying to steal from but the others as well, as these spies were here to gather some intel as to what had happened at the forest and what hand made the second prince collapse and fall into a coma.

With how important the boy was, it was obvious that their allies and enemies would learn about it, so now more people were also after the 'elephant', mostly due to the ability that was shown and was quickly spreading among the populace, as a single purple humanoid monster without any aura was capable of slaying more than a hundred 3rd tier hunters and a few 4 tier ones included!

Greed and fear for the elephant, purple monster, and its ability were what brought them there.

an exploitable pawn?

Or a future terrible enemy?

Only time will tell~
