Chapter 326: Completing the Mission
Chapter 326: Completing the Mission
Now that Davei and Rain had been defeated, Lees could focus on dealing with the rest of the aliens. All his familiars immediately gathered around him and took the enemies down.
Other aliens suffered the same fate as they were unable to stop Lees.
It took half an hour, but the mature class alien along with three hundred aliens were defeated.
Sera, on the other hand, chased after the remaining bandits scattered around the area.
Lisa did the same, but in the end, she still had a considerable amount of stamina. Hence, Nathan asked her to defeat the only summoner that hadn't been defeated.
Although Eliot was reluctant about it, Lisa still helped him take down the last summoner, allowing them to focus on dealing with other bandits or the aliens.
With all seven summoners dead and two-thirds of the rest of the bandits dead or captured, the bandit subjugation request was considered completed.
In the end, the bandits scattered all around the area, so they might end up dying in the aliens' hands.
Nathan was sitting on the ground with Sera helping him compress his burning forehead.
"Fellow summoner, Nathan. I'm grateful for your help with this mission. Without you, we would have lost." Lees came to him and politely bowed his head.
"Please don't worry about it. Because you called me a fellow summoner earlier. Of course, we should help each other." Nathan waved his hand nonchalantly. However, his message was pretty clear.
If he wasn't his enemy, they should help each other unless they wanted to end up like Davei or Rain.
"Haha." Lees let out a hollow laugh. "Still, we have a lot of loot from this mission, such as the cores."
"You should take those cores. You are the ones who kill them after all." Nathan waved his hand, interrupting them.
"No way. If not for you, we would have been defeated. Your plan was able to outsmart them, and if it wasn't for you defeating Davei and Rain, we would all die… or even worse than that…"
"This…" Nathan looked down. "Then, half?"
"No. Let's split it into three. You two and I one."
Nathan opened his mouth, wanting to rebuke him. However, Lees politely lowered his head while saying, "Please. This is a request as a fellow summoner as well as a big brother."
Nathan raised his eyebrows, slightly startled. Still, the bandits had said earlier that his younger sister would end up in a much worse predicament if they lost, so it was understandable.
He thought for a moment before saying, "Alright. Let's do it that way. In that case, I will check their hideout to see if we can rescue anyone or seize anything."
"I will take care of the aliens and watch the bandits then." Lees nodded with a smile.
After reaching an agreement, Nathan and Sera took their leave. Meanwhile, Eliot crossed his arms while saying, "Why do you split everything that way? This will make us look like a pushover. Besides, he's right. You killed them!"
"I have stated the reasons." Lees shook his head. "You should know that he is a unique summoner. His status is unordinary. The other person is the saintess. She will definitely report this mission to the Holy Kingdom. Imagine what will happen to us when that happens.
"The contribution is clear. And since the saintess doesn't like to be in the spotlight, we just have to give them clearly the portion they deserve.
"This way, they will think more about us being upright, which will give them a good impression if we ever meet again.
"In the end, less than 1% of the world's population is a summoner. It won't be weird if we end up meeting them again in the future.
"And with their strength, they will definitely become a famous summoner. If we solve the situation like this, at the very least, we have less chance to become their enemies.
"Instead of a momentary gain, it's better to plan for the future. This is my lesson as your mentor."
Eliot bit his lips, but he couldn't refute any of his words. Giving them all that stuff didn't mean he threw his pride.
Instead, he showed he had pride, especially in his righteousness, by giving them what they deserved.
He looked at Eliot with a smile. Eliot might look like a brat, but in the past, he was the same. And his mentor taught him a similar thing.
It was the reason he could become much more mature. He just hoped this lesson could help Eliot in the future.
Meanwhile, Nathan and Sera raided the bandit's hideout and found several things.
They gathered all of them and planned to split it with those three. Since there were no knights involved, they didn't have to turn these items in. Even the baron had stated that they could get everything they found during the mission.
In the end, they concluded the mission and brought back all the bodies and prisoners back to the town, which allowed the baron to take over.
"There are still 60 or 70 bandits who are inside the forest. They either die from aliens or still try to survive. Nevertheless, the seven summoners have been killed in action.
"With this, the bandit subjugation is completed. I believe that you will be able to handle the rest, baron. In the end, we don't have the manpower or resources to check every corner of the forest, but without those summoners, they won't be able to do much."
Baron Titus nodded his head. "I have confirmed the seven summoners as well as the bandits. I'm grateful for your help. Please enter. I'd like to reward you personally."
They nodded their heads.
Eliot didn't realize at that time that the lesson Lees had just given would end up being useful so quickly.
After receiving their reward, Sera suddenly approached them. Your journey continues with mvl
"Hello. There is something I'd like to discuss with you three. I wonder if you have time to spare tonight. Would you like to come for a tea?" Sera asked with a smile.
