Chapter 75: Chapter 53: The Fairy Clan (Please Recommend)
Bailuo rode Sherri back to New Yatun Village, flying over the forest, and soon converged with everyone else.
“Your Majesty!”
The White Eagles’ messages came in batches, with Baiying Yin informing Bailuo, while the other White Eagles flew directly back to the village.
By the time Bailuo arrived, the 160 People of Yatun were already prepared.
The children were hiding in the forest, where Lilith had crafted large treehouses specifically for them.
The houses were adorned to resemble real ancient trees, except that inside the ancient trees there were spaces connected to the roots underground.
Each of these roots was a pathway that was hidden while also maintaining ventilation.
In addition, there were a great number of basements with considerable space.
There, a multitude of supplies were stored, so even if Bailuo and the others were locked in fierce combat with the enemy, the children could be self-
sufficient.
“Tree Elves’ Descendants, 25 men, 25 women,”
Bailuo said, “People of the Yatun Clan, 30 women, and then there’s me, old
uncle, Nors, John.”
“Total number of combatants, eighty-four.”
The Tree Elves’ Descendants were indeed very loyal; when Yatun Island faced the Pirates’ attack, they unhesitatingly committed nearly all their adult combat power, even several elderly who could still fight, joined the battle.
Bailuo was deeply moved by such an attitude and cherished them all the more for their willingness to join the People of Yatun in resisting the enemy as a whole clan.
[Miracle Power: 65%]
Still short of 35%, but this was just because the Tree Elves’ Descendants had
not yet perfected their power.
However, Bailuo had already felt their intention: ‘The Tree Elves’ Descendants are my people, as long as I am here, I will never let them suffer the slightest indignity!’
“Thankyou, oldman.”
“No need for that, Your Majesty,” Grandfather Andrew said. “We too are part of
Yatun!”
After half a month’s life and interaction, the Tree Elves’ Descendants had already grown fond of the simple and pure Yatun Clan, wishing to build a home and create a future with them.
“Indeed.”
Bailuo said solemnly, “Now there are no humans, no Tree Elves’ Descendants, there is only Yatun, we are all People of Yatun.”
Yatun had indeed transformed from a race to a power, a nation.
The Yatun Clan was honored but not proud, never feeling superior to others.
It was for this reason that the Yatun Clan had been respected and recognized by
the Tree Elves’ Descendants.
This was a highly inclusive nation, willing to share, willing to live and die together, to advance and retreat together, but the premise was that you joined wholeheartedly, not with ulterior motives and schemes.
Those who treated the People of Yatun well would receive the same courtesy
from Yatun.
In contrast, Yatun never feared any challenge!
“We want to join the fight too!”
Speaking on behalf of the Little Witches, Elsa and the others expressed their desire to participate in the battle.
“Yeah, why can Fiona sister join, but not us?”
“I can fight too!”
Unfortunately, Fiona was about to come of age, and she had been allowed by
Bailuo to enter the battlefield.
However, the rest of the children, they really couldn’t.
“Miya, Little Miya thinks this isn’t right!”
Little Miya mustered her courage to express their bravery to Bailuo, and the Children of the Tree Elves’ Descendants all began to make their case based on
their age.
“We’re over 120 years old.”
“80 years old, that’s a significant age!”
“Let us join the battlefield too!”
The will of the people, the nation’s eagerness to fight; Bailuo was pleased to see such People of Yatun, but there were some things that could not be compromised.
“Your younger brothers and sisters need someone to protect them.
Bailuo told Elsa and Miya, “So, will you use the Magic you learned from Lilith to
protect them, please?”
But faced with Bailuo’s request, the children had nothing to say and could only
nod in agreement.
The Pirates would never be able to penetrate here, let alone discover the children.
It’s not the devil you fear, but the off chance of disaster, so Bailuo had to prepare for every contingency.
“Elsa!”
Bailuo stroked the girl’s golden hair and smiled, “I’ll leave it to you.”
“Yes!”
Elsa was the best at learning Spells, and now she could use seven or eight ordinary Fairy Magic spells.
Although she still had little combat power, with her excellent swordsmanship, even this 11-year-old girl could kill more than a dozen Pirates.
Of course, this was Elsa; she was like an elite unit in its juvenile phase, akin to a young dragon.
But not everyone was as exceptional as her.
For those children without talent, the People of Yatun would not abandon them.
The culture and spirit of Yatun lay in respecting the strong, protecting the weak, uncovering everyone’s talents, not bullying the weak, and not using strength as the sole criterion for elimination.
“Everyone!”
Bailuo had Sherri turn around, then instructed, “We depart, we’ll talk as we
go.”
There were still over ten hours left, but it took at least two hours to rush from here to the coast.
So they had about ten hours left to set up their formations.
Without wasting any time, Bailuo told everyone his arrangements: “Select 20
people to form the Cavalry.”
This Cavalry unit was almost entirely composed of the Yatun Clan.
As the Tree Elves’ Descendants were not particularly skilled in horse riding,
they were still training in this area.
So aside from the siblings Lu Anya and Anderson, the 18 riders were all from the Yatun Clan.
Among them were included old uncle, elder sister, Diana, Inya, Nors, Jiera, Fiona, and John, almost all of them the elite of the Yatun elite, each capable of taking on ten or even a hundred enemies.
“You go ahead and start, but don’t expose yourselves.”
Bailuo’s goal was to annihilate this batch of pirates, “The White Eagles’ data is not reliable, our actions must be covert.”
Because once they let a pirate escape, even just one, Bailuo would have to bear the risk of facing a Pirate King who might possess Miracle Power.
Uncle told Bailuo that Morgan’s forces consisted of at least tens of thousands of pirates, with an uncountable number of ships, among which there was a high probability of the existence of Miracle Troop Types.
Troop types aren’t part of the official Miracle Entity; their meaning is having Miracle Power, and being a combat unit.
The Miracle Entities known to Bailuo were limited to four main categories. Miracle Creature, Miracle Object, Miracle Resource, and Miracle Race.
The four main Miracle Entities would release Miracle Power, which could affect other people and objects.
Thus, there were the third-tier Miracle Qualifiers and Offspring of Miracle. Offspring of Miracle Power, for instance, the products processed from ores, the crops grown in the fields.
Qualifiers, like the Little Witches who were granted magic by Lilith, and cats
and eagles that had become spirits.
And among the Offspring of Miracle, the most outstanding ones would grow into Children of Miracle — the second-tier.
Miracle Troop Types are not included in these first, second, and third tiers.
They are defined merely as entities that possess Miracle Power and can fight in multiples.
Just like the Little Witches, weak as they may be, they are a type of Miracle
Troop Type.
It’s not just them, but also Cat Lingling, Baiying Yin, Seagulls, and Mice; they are also Miracle Troop Types, and Bailuo gave them a unified name — the Fairy
Clan.
In contrast, the Yatun Clan and Tree Elves’ Descendants, who don’t have the Miracle Power in their bodies, can only be considered regular soldiers, not known as Miracle Troop Types.
“Lilith, you go to the forest first and prepare to awaken the Treefolk,
“Understood.”
Lilith’s ability was somewhat like a summoning spell.
These awakened Treefolk, though they had no self and did not possess souls, were also considered Miracle Troop Types.
Don’t underestimate the summoned creatures as soldiers, Lilith is no ordinary force!
“Everyone, pay attention, we must let the pirates land on the island first, then attack!”
“We’ll lure them in,” Bailuo said, “we cannot let a single one escape!
Bailuo’s plan was actually quite simple. It was to lure the pirates onto the island, then using Lilith’s powerful summoning spell, awaken a large number of Treefolk and, relying on their strength, vanquish the enemy.
With the power of Lilith, if the pirates foolishly charged in, it would truly be a case where the more who came, the more would be killed.
Although Bailuo could ride a Pegasus and conduct a surprise assault with Sherri,
With the enemy outnumbering them and the limited range of Lilith’s magic, although they could easily win a fight, if the opponents were bent on fleeing, Bailuo had no way to stop them.
Without a doubt, the pirates would flee upon seeing Bailuo’s Miracle Power.
These guys were notorious for being bullies when strong and cowards when weak.
Therefore, it was necessary to appear weak to the enemy first, then annihilate them at the right location.
Bailuo wasn’t afraid to fight, what he feared was that the pirates wouldn’t dare to fight.
He was even more worried about any of them not dying, falling into the sea, and then by chance, informing Morgan about Yatun Island.
Bailuo carried the lives of the People of Yatun on his shoulders, he had to be cautious.
“Yes!”
“Asyou command!”
After half a month of militarized training, the responses from the group were very unified.
“Hmm.”
Bailuo nodded and then led the way.
The cavalry needed to scout ahead first, while the infantry could take their time.
They were floated across the forests by the wind, utilizing a Levitation Spell cast by Lilith, in order to save energy.
About two and a half hours later, Bailuo led his people to the former location of the port.
Bailuo had Lilith use the Levitation Spell to move three ships up and hide them on the island.
She needed to be active often, and the Invisibility Spell might fail, so they adopted a physical method of concealment.
Bailuo had thought of having Lilith cast an illusion to deceive the pirates to make them land directly, but she was unfamiliar with the town and could not create a vivid illusion.
Fortunately, Bailuo had learned the secret signals used by the pirates to communicate, which made it much easier to implement the plan of annihilating the pirates.
If the pirates come ashore, we’ll annihilate them on land,” he said.
“This method would be best if it works, but even if it doesn’t, we still have to be prepared with a second and third course of action.”
Uncle thought that the odds of success weren’t high as the pirates were experienced and wouldn’t be so foolish.
Therefore, Uncle made Bailuo ride Sherri, taking Lilith across the sea to catch up with those ships and break their masts one by one.
If it isn’t possible to avoid some slipping through, they must be destroyed to the greatest extent possible!
“Uncle is right, carefulness means no mistakes.”
Seeing that Bailuo had accepted his suggestion, Uncle added, “When the battle starts, you could ride Sherri from under the water.”
“Sherri can push aside the water; they would never expect someone to be below the sea surface.”
Uncle arranged, “Xiao Luo, you take Sherri and Lilith (after the initial setup in the forest) to monitor the pirates’ movements. If anything changes, immediately go around to the back of the ships.
This way, a lot of time could be saved, and it would be possible to choose whether to use Plan A or Plan B at any time.
If the pirates attempt to escape, launch an immediate attack, and there is no need to call Lilith back.
If the pirates don’t run, then once they land, Lilith will still have enough time to enter the forest and complete the awakening of the ancient trees.
“This plan is not without flaws.”
Uncle was Bailuo’s military advisor, and he did everything he could to prepare more thoroughly, “We have too few people; if they split their forces, half landing and half staying to go back for reinforcements at any moment, this battle could become quite troublesome.”
“Fortunately, pirates are known for their erratic nature, preferring to be led by their leaders in direct combat rather than sending troops to investigate.”
“So I believe there’s a very high likelihood that the leader of this Pirate Group will personally come ashore.”
“Even if they don’t land, we have ways,” Uncle said confidently, puffing on his cigarette, “to draw them ashore!”
