Limestone Valley.

At this time, Limestone Valley was doing the last bits of preparation. They were finalizing the positioning of their forces, making sure their alarms and alerts—like the flares—were all working and complete.

The new aborigine hires sent by Alterra even before the announcements were also roaming around, familiarizing themselves with the scope assigned to them.

Now that the level of the monsters was higher, even Limestone citizens didn't have to go too far to hunt. However, the average level was still dangerous so relatively powerful aborigines were still needed to safeguard lives.

Initially, there were four of them, namely: Wodan, Zeo, Elof, and Sapur, two of whom were some of Alterra's first hires at this level. Some had occupations, too, making them quite the good hires.

The choices for Towns were really different, Althea would muse every time she got a good one.

Wodan was a level 15 swordsman, around 30 years of age. He had a very dark complexion and a half-bald hairdo. He hadn't been here for long, but he had already made quite the impression among the locals with his rather perenially depressed face.

He would always assure people—with the same aforementioned dark face—that it was simply like that and he was actually an approachable guy.

Zeo, on the other hand, was a level 15 Spearman. He had wavy dark blue hair that looked so soft people would want to touch it. It was currently tied into a bun.

He was not strikingly handsome, but he had good features that were pleasing to see. Combined with his unusual (for Terrans) hair color, he got himself a few admirers even after only a few days, especially among the T-pop (Terran Pop) fans.

Eloff was a level 15 archer with light-brown hair combed at the middle. He seemed like quite the jolly guy and—despite the four of them not knowing each other before being hired in Alterra—he was practically best friends with them all now.

Finally, there was Sapur, who was another level 16 swordsman. Sapur was a bald 30-year-old with a very buff body. According to Garan, he focused more on a defensive style, so he functioned more as a Tank than an actual melee fighter.

This was also why he was still sent here. Even if he was above the level cap, his style wasn't inherently aggressive, so he could still be very useful even with the war limitations.

When they arrived more than a day prior, they were already assigned their own teams. They didn't expect to enter a war so soon though, which was fine, especially since it was a village.

Eloff and Sapur were just hired in Alterra a few days ago. Like everyone, they couldn't believe it when they found out the territory was a village just a few days prior. However, they were quick to adjust especially with the welcoming atmosphere there and they were already settling down when they received the reassignment notice.

Unlike the other two—who at least had more than a week to stay—they had only enjoyed Alterra for a few days. Very sad.

They were naturally very reluctant when they found out they would get dispatched to a satellite, but a job was a job.

Fortunately, Limestone Valley was also very good—at least far superior to other villages they knew of the same level.

The living conditions were great and there was also a rich economy and a variety of shops and stalls to choose from.

They also had their own large marketplace in an open space near the mountainous areas. It was apparently so people who came from the mine could quickly access them.

In any case, even if they hadn't been here for long, even the aborigines felt the need to protect it—let alone the locals who had been here for a year.

To think that this place started as a cursed place for many of them. How have things changed!

Anyway, the array would be opened within a few hours. They were all very nervous but they were trying to be as prepared as they could be. Still, there were a few things that were not going to plan.

"Isn't Alterra sending a few more forces to assist?" Victor asked, a bit worried.

They were currently overseeing the preparations near the gates, and when they asked the people on the battlement if they had seen a group of people approaching, they felt very concerned when they said the negative… again.

Henry nodded, also feeling heavy. "They should've arrived by now…"

Fortunately, the two didn't have to wallow in worry for too long. About half an hour later, news of their arrival had reached the two.

It was just that they were not unscathed.

Everyone had some degree of injuries and the medics, led by Vanessa (walking ahead of Raffy), rushed over to help them out.

"What's going on?" Victor asked as they were being treated. Henry also approached. There didn't seem to be serious injuries, but everyone had degrees of it. "Is anyone…"

At this, Mao cursed. "I'm so annoyed with those jerks!! But, fortunately, we're all alive," he said, still panting a bit as he drank his healing potion.

He then turned to Victor with an uncharacteristically serious expression on his face. "Those bastards are definitely going above and beyond in this war."

It wasn't nearly as big as what Alterra had to go through—likely because Voumi Town was very far and it was too costly to send too many, especially on foot.

However, there were definitely allied territories helping out. Inko Village—which had already lost before—could not have this many people, especially not those above the average level for a village.

They met enemies on the way here and there were hordes of them. Fortunately, Mao and the others were there to keep the strong enemies at bay, taking a few heads by the way.

However, they knew they were outnumbered so they used Improved Beast Attracting Potion (using Baku's piss) and threw it at the crowd before they rushed away.

This was the only reason they didn't have losses, actually.

After these months, Alterran researchers had found out several leads as to why half-orc piss could attract beasts when they themselves could scare them off to some degree.

The Research Center made separate, very insulated rooms not only for bombs, but also for research on orc piss (and blood, donated by Gochi, though that was something not discussed at all—at least not in a public setting).

Orcs and half-orcs apparently had pheromones that seemed attractive to beasts and were seen as signals for dominance.

They also did a lot of experiments to see whether the half-orcs could control the beasts, but they found that—unfortunately—they could not.

However, Baku did mention some orc lore he heard when he was a kid, way before they were 'rescued' from the orc territory and taken to the humans.

Like half-orcs, orcs also had their own special abilities. It was just one skill, but they were quite powerful and barely consumed much mana at all. The main difference was the kind of power it was.

Half-orcs' powers seemed to be milder in strength but more complex in quality, while orcs' strengths lay in their physicality. For example, Gochi's was Paralysis, Maomao's was the 'penetrating kick', and Baku's was his Roar Skill.

On the other hand, Orcs' skills would have a little variety and would usually range from making themselves invincible to some type of Berserk skill.

However, there were a few times that it wasn't so aggressive, and one of the most legendary varieties was the ability to call on beasts. The effect was limited, but it was powerful enough.

Of course, that was just a stuff of legend. Baku had never actually seen it happen, nor had he heard of their tribe ever having one.

Regardless, the Alterrans using the improved versions of the Beast Attracting Potion was really bothersome. They were planning on doing a smaller version of what they did to Resso back then, but that'd require the enemies to be at a certain proximity to the walls to work well.

But now look: the war hadn't even started yet, and they already wasted a precious sample. Tsk.

The enemy—even villages who weren't even the direct opponent—really put quite a bit of effort into taking over a satellite.

Why would they bother? Did they get the promise of great resources? Would that be worth losing a few hundred of their forces?

In fact, Voumi indeed promised these allied villages a portion of the elementalists caught. Besides, none of them believed they would lose too much force.

In their minds, Limestone Valley was only a satellite village. The main forces should be in the main territory. No normal village could win over the plunder of six allied villages!

They wanted those resources too! Especially more elementalists!

Of course…, as for whether they would actually gain any elementalist—that would remain to be seen.
