Chapter 1050: Being stalked
Chapter 1050: Being stalked
This visit to the Vale Tribe was just a courtesy visit this time.
It was our first time meeting the chief and the real chief of the Vale Tribe, so it wasn't as if the relationship was going to be much deeper than this.
Other than introducing ourselves, we also agreed to bring more goods from human society to trade with them in the future. Like this, it could be said that we had signed a deal to sell our goods to them.
That was a good starting point.
After this was settled, it was time to head back to the Harakka Tribe.
As we were heading back, it really seemed like Isra wanted to follow us back.
The way that she said this was as if she was coming with us to deepen our relationship, but her father didn't seem like he approved of this.
In the end, her mother was the one that stopped it by saying, "It's too late for you to go with them. You'll see them tomorrow, so there's no need for you to be acting like this."
Isra seemed disappointed, but since it was her mother saying this...
She looked at me with a wistful look as if she wanted to follow me, but I was glad that her mother stepped in to stop her.
"Though I didn't like the way that she looked at me when she did it...
For now, it was important that they didn't follow us because there was something that we had to take care of and it was best if no one from the Vale Tribe was with us.
It was a problem, but if we made too much of a big deal of this matter, then it wouldn't be good for us.
After all, there was nothing to gain from making too big of a deal of this matter.
Once we got far enough away from the Vale Tribe, I suddenly turned to Alidus to say, "We're being followed."
He slightly knitted his brows when he heard this, but then he slowly gave a nod as if he already knew this.
I was surprised by this, but I didn't think too much about it.
As a future hero unit, there was no doubt of his abilities.
If he couldn't do something as small as this, then he wouldn't be able to become a hero unit in the future.
Hero units were completely different from normal units after all.
As for how I knew, it was naturally Shaka who picked up the traces of the people that were stalking us.
They had been following us since the market, but we knew that they wouldn't do anything. After all, it seemed that they were wary of the Vale Tribe and didn't want to get them caught up in this matter.
So that was why it seemed like they were planning to attack now that we had left the Vale Tribe.
As for where they would attack...
Alidus and Shaka came to the same conclusion.
There was a dark patch of forest on the way back to the Harakka Tribe, which was where they would most likely ambush us. This was a place that was hidden from view and the trees helped with the sound isolation, so it really was the perfect place for an ambush.
But before we went into that place, we naturally came up with a plan first.
Entering the ambush of the enemy was one thing, but doing so without a plan would be equal to sending ourselves to the slaughter.
Only when we finished coming up with our plan did we head into the ambush spot.
Once we entered the spot, I suddenly turned around and said, "Are you going to come out or not?"
Everyone suddenly stopped, but they didn't look surprised to hear this.
Naturally we had told everyone about what was happening, it wasn't as if we would let them be surprised by this.
There was a silence that hung in the air before the sounds of rustling could be heard.
Even though they were giants, they had hidden themselves quite well. It was obvious that
they had been trained on this matter and they had been trained quite well.
Once they appeared, they immediately split up into two groups.
One of the groups suddenly came for Alidus' group of giants and the other group went for our group of wyverns.
The way that they split up like this made it very clear that they also had a plan that they were following. However, we weren't surprised when we saw them acting like this since we had already expected this.
Neither of our sides went to help each other since this was what we agreed on.
We would face the enemy alone and go along with their plan so we could see just what they were planning to do.
The group of giants that attacked us had weapons that were different from the group that attacked Alidus' group.
The weapons that they had were far more dangerous.
They had bladed weapons like swords and spears whereas the group that attacked Alidus' group had nothing more than blunt weapons.
It seemed that they were trying to kill us while keeping Alidus' group alive.
Rather, it even seemed like they were doing nothing more than trying to stall Alidus' group.
It seemed strange why they would have such a grudge against our group, but it was made clear what was happening when we saw who Alidus was fighting.
Alidus was holding himself back to go along with the plan, but the person in front of him seemed capable of restraining him.
It was all because of the weapon that he used.
The weapon that Alidus had was a special magic weapon that was given to him by his father, so to match that required a special weapon.
This was one that had been seen earlier at the giant market and had been used to clash with
Alidus.
The identity of this group was Dorian and those from the Korin Tribe.
