Adrian, in his kitsune form, was determined to make a significant impact on their mission. As Cale, Choi Han, and the Cat Tribe kittens prepared for the operation, Adrian darted around, giving signs and signals to his companions. His ethereal form glowed softly in the dark, providing a sense of comfort to his allies and unsettling the enemies.
The location that the kittens, On and Hong, buried the black orb was out of Cale's expectations. The Viscount's villa was 30 meters away from the dragon's cave. On and Hong had buried the black orb 50 meters away from that cave, in an area filled with trees and shrubs, making it very difficult for the orb to be located.
"You two are kind of amazing," Cale said, impressed.
"Something like this is a piece of cake," On responded, though Cale could see her nose twitching in joy.
Cale, Choi Han, On, and Hong crouched around the location where the black orb, officially known as the Mana Disturbance Tool, was located. They looked toward the cave entrance 50 meters away and the Viscount's villa farther away. Adrian, in his 15-tailed Kitsune form, stood slightly apart, his tails waving gracefully as he kept watch.
"You remember the plan?" Cale asked.
Cale had explained the plan on their way over. Realistically speaking, there wasn't much of a plan.
"There are a total of 6 people on guard at this time," Cale recalled from 'The Birth of a Hero.'
The Black Dragon, being smart, had gathered information during the four long years it was held captive, and there was a reason it attempted its escape two days later at around this time.
There were approximately 30 people residing in the villa. Originally, there were close to 100 people, but it slowly went down over the years as nobody really came to this area. Among the 30 people, there were 3 high-leveled knights at the Vice Captain's level, as well as 7 mid-leveled knights, soldiers, the torturer, and random laborers. The number of people here showed just how much attention the Marquis had been putting into this location.
However, Cale had Choi Han, who could take down the strongest knight in the Roan Kingdom in 10 moves. Someone like that was on their side.
"Let me explain one more time," Cale continued. "There is one high-leveled knight and two mid-leveled knights at the cave entrance, as well as two soldiers. Inside the cave, there is just one high-leveled knight, and the torturer is at the end of the cave."
Choi Han flinched after hearing the word torturer, but Cale did not care. The important thing was that the black orb would activate soon, and they needed to move quickly in response.
"The magic recording devices located from the villa to the cave entrance will not work for 40 minutes thanks to the black orb that On and Hong buried. That is the same for the alarms, magic traps, and anything else. Nothing will work for 40 minutes."
They needed to domesticate this dragon, the greatest magic-using creature in the world, but they could not ask any mages for help. That was why Marquis Stan chose to fill this area with magic items instead. The reason that there were only a few guards around was that the dragon had no choice but to cause a mana explosion to escape.
'An eye for an eye, and money for money,' Cale thought.
Since the Marquis used money, Cale used money as well. He patted the magic bag on his waist. This was a magic bag that allowed you to store a lot of items. Inside this bag were all sorts of magic items, useful tools, and objects.
"I just need to take out the guards?" Choi Han asked.
"Yes. You are the only one I can rely on to cover my back," Cale responded.
