Summoners War: Only I Summoned Divine Beasts-Chapter 820: Jinxed

As Layfon thought, it was not a coincidence for them to conserve their ena. That was precisely according to Nathan's calculation.

Although Nathan's strategy looked rash at first glance, he had already calculated everything. The valley was extended to the left and right, which meant the enemies from the front, which was their original direction to reach their destination, wouldn't come toward them.

As a result, they only had to take care of that small group of aliens. Meanwhile, this place was more important due to their number and their position.

In the case of a prolonged fight, there was a high chance that the enemies would alert other aliens from other directions. Hence, Nathan chose to end this battle as swiftly as possible.

However, if everyone went all out right now, the moment they reached their destination, they would be quite exhausted. Even if they got a lot of rest, they wouldn't be able to recover their ena completely.

Hence, Nathan chose six of them to conserve their ena.

Once they killed all the aliens inside the valley and gathered all their cores, Nathan continued their journey without rest.

They ended up encountering all the groups they were supposed to fight. This time, he asked Alavenya and Kun to be the vanguard, Flora and Risa to be the main attackers, and Sera and Anubis to support them.

Because Raphael was the one who healed Kun previously, it was Anubis' turn to heal him, allowing the group to advance rapidly.

They cut down everything in their path. By the time they reached the gate of their destination, they found themselves already killing over two thousand aliens.

One big bag they carried had been completely filled up with cores. If they continued at this pace, they might end up carrying several bags three times the size of a human.

Nathan gathered the group one more time. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"We have finally reached this place. Beyond this river is the great plain of Vlana. This plain has a hill in the north and a forest in the west. However, most of them are plain, with quite tall grass.

"We have to be careful because we don't know where the aliens will come from. That's why the strategy is simple. We will go to the hill in the north right away and set up our next camp over there.

"With enough height, we should be able to oversee the entire plain and ensure that nothing can go to us without being noticed.

"Jinwu is still scouting right now, but because of the distance, even he won't be able to find out everything, especially the location of all warrior class aliens."

Nathan paused for a moment. It was truly challenging to not have any information. Even when Sullivan gave them this mission, he didn't give them information about the exact number of warrior class aliens and their locations.

Then again, the alien territory would probably be the same. They couldn't really ask for information about the alien territory, especially their number and hiding spots. They had to scout the area themselves.

Nathan wanted to set up on the hill to avoid any ambush, which was perfectly reasonable. Still, water was a problem.

Although Amphitrite could produce water, it was magical water. In other words, if she stopped supplying ena to the water, it would be gone.

She could force the underground water to come to the surface, but it might not be clean. Hence, they stopped by this river as the fast-flowing river had a better quality of drinking water.

"Anyway, do you have any objection with the way I set up the camp?" Nathan asked while glancing at them one by one. Since no one raised their hand, he continued, "Alright. The next topic is about the task for the remaining four people.

"Depending on what we find, I will be assigning them to kill their respective target. Of course, it'll be better if we can do it when things are still under control, but expect a much worse situation."

They couldn't help but nod, as though they knew it would happen in any way.

Nathan raised two fingers. "I only have two rules when killing these aliens. First, the aliens have a high chance of noticing us because this is a plain and a bit of ruckus can alert a vast area. Hence, I want us to keep moving. For example, if we have two multiple warrior class aliens in sight, we might kill one of them together, while only one person completes the task.

"By constantly moving, we should be able to outrun the aliens. Only once we finish this task will we have more freedom on how to fight. Hence, fight the enemies with this rule in mind.

"The second rule is much simpler. Alien cores are less of a priority. In other words, as soon as we notice any aliens coming toward us while we're gathering the cores, we will drop everything and leave no matter how many cores we have to leave behind.

"It doesn't matter if we can handle the enemies or not. As long as there's an alien, there's a high chance it can inform other aliens. I don't want to add any variables into our situation.

"That's all I ask. Regarding my order, I will give it depending on the situation. Understood?"

Selena and the others exchanged looks before giving him a nod. Layfon looked satisfied after listening to his explanation, he understood the situation and acted accordingly. With this kind of leader, the group should feel at ease and could trust their leader with their lives.

After all, it would be a problem if there was any argument during a mission like this. When the chain of command slowed down, the group couldn't fight properly.

'I don't think they will fail this test after seeing his leadership and their abilities. Besides, judging from how they defeated the previous two warrior class aliens… I guess they can finish this mission smoothly…'

If Nathan and the girls knew what he was thinking, they might try to beat him up.

They didn't know that within this plain resided a much more terrifying alien than they expected.
