Chapter 898 The Invaders Part 3 of 3

Mimiko and Ragga can't believe what they have witnessed they don't even think that I have given their daughter just like that.

"Wait, wait, are you serious about this? You are just giving our daughter without doing anything except to dismantle a monster's carcass?!" Ragga is in disbelief.

"What's wrong? Shouldn't you guys be happy that I have given back your daughter without any problems? What more do you guys want to do? Do you want me to tie her up again?"

"No, no. We are just confused about why you handed her to us so quickly. Of course, we appreciate you for giving back our daughter without giving us too much headache to deal with but I am also curious as to why you didn't give us harder tasks. What we got didn't feel like a punishment but more of a task suitable for us..." Mimiko voiced out her reason.

I chuckled and gave out my answer. "But as we said before, we are not your enemy. Causing you all with more trouble will bring more trouble for us. In fact, you guys might even bear a grudge against me or on us for that reason. Besides, I have a proposal to the two of you that will solve all your worries about these invaders."

"Really?!" Ragga's eyes lit up hearing something about the situation with the invaders.

"Yes. I have my suspicion on who these invaders you guys are talking about and we have dealt with a few of them before. However, knowing how troublesome they can be, we might have missed a few or some have survived our search and destroy operation the other night. If possible, we would like to conduct a search and destroy within your camp and identify a mole in your tribe."

"A mole?" Mimiko frowned.

"A traitor in other words. If my suspicions are correct, someone else decided to infiltrate the tribe by shape-shifting into someone in your tribe and using the new face, lived among your people. We might be able to deal with these invaders if we have dealt with the traitor."

"So these invaders can shapeshift into other people now?"

I nodded in response. Demons have gained quite some power ever since they have awakened. I asked Lucia if she could shapeshift like them as well but she said she couldn't and she didn't even know how to do it, which solidifies my assumption that the demons have been given power by someone who has woken them up.

"Although I still don't have much trust in you, I will accept this offer and just treat it as if this was our punishment for our actions instead."

"Well, you can also think of that as well. It doesn't matter much to me."

With the two agreeing on the matter, I called on Rika this time around to help out with this matter. Riko will accompany us as well and we will have to eventually deal with a traitor with the two of them there to strike the nail, they were basically walking torture machines themselves and that is something that would be totally necessary to deal with the demons themselves who won't talk in normal means.

Ragga carried his daughter on his big back and Mimiko followed suit. I turned to look at the processed items of that monster I killed let the couple do their job, and placed them in crates. There are many items that look useful and are going to be something that might be useful someday as well as the meat that is so plump of fat that it would be a great meat to add for barbecue. However, they are not meant for me in the first place.

"Hold up, before we go, take these crates of the processed materials with you.? You can say that this is something of an apology gift for taking your daughter hostage. Take it all and use it at your own discretion. You have more use for them than us."

"Wait, are you serious? These stuff are extremely rare and even we will not be able to obtain them on our own!"

"I am pretty serious. Besides, I already hunted that monster with that plan on my mind so please don't decline this."

Mimiko was still adamant about declining my offer but Ragga stopped her.

"Then, we gratefully accept it. We promise that we will put these to good use and we will not put it to waste."

I nodded at his response. He at least accepted my offer and although he still didn't trust me or every one of my companions, he at least been thinking wisely right there.

"Alright, first, we should check your soldiers first. The first part a demon can easily use to infiltrate is by becoming a soldier and disguising as one. If we saw none of the demons hiding there, then that means they are brighter than I thought and would choose to become harmless villagers instead."

Ragga seemed hesitant but he nodded. "If that is the first step in checking for the traitors hiding in my ruling, then they should be punished immediately. If they are the instigators that would lead my camp and tribe to ruins and harm everyone, then there's no need for some mercy."

Because he had a hard time carrying both the heavy crate and his daughter, he whispered to his wife to carry their daughter. I was about to offer some help when all of a sudden, Mimiko carried their daughter like a princess like she was not heavy. I didn't know she would be this strong considering her short and petite stature.

As for Ragga, he carried the crate by himself and we descended to the ground after saying our little mission to Almira. Then, I was surprised when Zena appeared as well to join in on our way to check for signs of traitors and shapeshifters. Mimiko and Ragga immediately recognized her.

"Wait, aren't you the beast woman who fought with one of my men, won, and got to live with us for a while?" Ragga tries to find confirmation for Zena after seeing her come with us.

"Yes. That's me. It has been a while but I didn't think I would meet you again like this in these circumstances," Zena nodded, responding to Ragga's question.

"Wow, so you have traveled and found somewhere to stay once more huh?" Mimiko smiled at Zena while the latter scratched her head, unable to say what really happened to her.

"Alright, that should be enough, no? How about we proceed to the plan?"

Ragga nodded. "Yes, we shouldn't waste our time."

Before we descended, I gave out a bit of an instruction to Ragga and Mimiko to ensure that we would find the demons. Since Lucia can detect them, she will remain in the Summon's Area while monitoring the outside world inside, to ensure that demons don't detect her. I also added that Ragga should not confront the demon immediately until all of the traitors are singled out. Once they are separated from the innocent, that's the time to judge them and with them being captured, they will have a hard time escaping.

We descended to the ground by using the little road that goes down to the lowest point of the ground and since it was on the rest mode, the land wasn't that high if we took this road, allowing us to go down without jumping off and landing on the ground with a superhero landing.

The soldiers who were currently waiting noticed the return of their leader and his wife while carrying their princess made them happy and they started clapping their hands.

The guy who was the right-hand man of Ragga appeared as well, seemingly too happy with them. I have my suspicions about him due to his behavior but I didn't think too much about it until I came up with the conspiracy theory.

"Lucia, can you check whether this guy right here is a demon currently hiding his scent and his face?"

"Please wait for a... wait a minute Master, I think your assumption about him being a demon was correct. Because this wasn't a human but a demon under the guise of a human. In fact, he was using an illusion as well that made him look like this soldier, he was a demon in disguise!"

I shook my head and clicked my tongue. I didn't expect that my assumption was actually correct and the guy was actually one of the demons who were in hiding.

He was happily congratulating the couple very enthusiastically, it was a bit annoying to see. But it's time to end his little facade and let everyone know his real identity. Since I was able to guess it right, that only means this guy is one of the "moles".

"Master, not only him but I detect four more of them from the soldiers. They are currently there at the back."

"Alright, it seems we will have to begin the purge now."

I snap my fingers and Ragga heard it, meaning, we will now be starting on our elimination round.
