One day later...
From the height, two men with their bodies coated in mana defensively gazed over the vast distance where, in diminutive sizes, a couple of small towns as well as three small cities could be spotted.
The fresh greenery all around created a beautiful picture but these two men were not interested in that in the least. All they cared for was the product of gold.
Every other day, resources were funnelled into this cluster of settlements a distance away. A lot of resources.
Their mission was clear.
"You never told me what the boss ordered," one of the two said.
"Ah, that's right! I never did, did I?" the other responded with an embarrassed laugh.
"Tsk. Forgetful prick. Did he say we should attack?"
"Ah, no. He told us to wait a few more minutes."
"I see. Will he be joining us?"
"I don't think so."
"Hmmm. And about the pests snooping around this base? How did he say we should deal with them?"
