BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 Assault
[Realm Announcement: The realm has been invaded by the Gaul civilization]
[Prepare to defend rewards will be given to the highest contributing Crowns]
[Along with defending there will be bonus rewards to Crowns that take out the outpost bases]
…
[Did everyone see the message]
[Yeah, I saw it]
[I didn't just see it, I saw an outpost base being constructed]
[You did is there any information you can give for us to survive better]
[Yeah stay the hell away, I have a information talent where I can see the tier and level and the weakest are 9/9 while the strongest are 8/2]
[Really that powerful!!]
[Can anyone put context to that]
[Darwin or Aoife might be able to they were able to take out aether enhanced creatures which are at least mid tier 9]
[@Darwin @Aoife can you help us. Please we need to know]
…
[You have been mentioned in a discussion would you like to reply]
Checking the messages adjacent to the one I was mentioned in I decided to at least give them a general idea of how strong our enemies would be 'After all we could be the last of humanity for all I know it would be a shame for a great chunk of us to go extinct just because I gave no information to them' I mused
Opening chat I sent a message
Darwin: [You guys should wait I'll send a scout to engage and gauge the enemies power, I wouldn't want you guys dying on me, we might be the last of humanity after all]
[Thank you Darwin I'll just dig a hole until you can confirm their strength]
[Did anyone else notice how Darwin's name was sent on the chat while ours always appear blank, any theories]
Aoife: [@Darwin, I have sent a friend request I would like to meet up to discuss a potential alliance]
[Well seeing that Aoife's name appeared while ours didn't it must be that you need sufficient fame to appear with a tag in chat]
…
"Send one of your subordinates to find and eliminate one of the enemy camps, then report on the minimum strength required to kill each troop and the overall combat power" I ordered Tama.
"Yes my lord," Tama says before departing from the house
It only took her a period of a few minutes to order one of her subordinates then come back to me
"It is done, you should rest for now, if you could hand me the pig you stored I could cook it for you or if you would prefer a different meal then I could go and hunt for you." Tama reports
"Here" I hand Tama the pig to which she goes outside to prepare and cook it.
'Seems that the rot does not happen if it is in my inventory or maybe it's just slowed down.' I think to myself
…
I had been ordered by lady Tama to scout the Gaul civilization by destroying one of their outpost bases
The first thing I did was climb a tree to scout for any base being constructed.
I was up there in the tree for only a minute before towards the north I saw a clearing of trees being knocked down.
Marking the location down in my memory I climb down the tree and head towards the direction where the trees were being knocked down.
I ran through the forest being careful to not leave any tracks that could be used to find the Lords territory.
After about 10 minutes of careful sprinting where I crossed at least 15 miles of distance I found the chopped down trees.
They were being set down to act as a makeshift wall while what seems like a humanoid beetle gave commands to the smaller ones.
…
After observing the camp for an hour a couple facts were made clear to her. The first being that the largest Gaul was the leader and the second and most important one being that the worker Gauls are mindless when not being instructed by what I'll call the queen Gaul.
The sun had already set darkening the already dark forest. It was pitch black and if it wasn't for my night vision I would have been blinded.
'Tama wanted information on the minimum required power to destroy the base and kill each type of Gaul' I thought to myself
'First order of business is to attack one of the workers and see their defense and attack power'
Finishing the thought I then prepared to use tier 8 strength to ambush the worker.
When one of the workers wandered off to grab more wood I followed and right as he was about to punch the tree to knock it down I pounced.
Surprisingly the Worker wasn't able to react in time and its head was severed. However what was more unexpected was that the Gaul Worker didn't immediately die, it just moved around like a headless chicken punching at anything it could sense.
[Congratulations to Crown Darwin for being the first to kill one of the invading Gauls +10 points]

[What there are rankings for this, what is this a game event]
[Have we been seeing the same things? Does this whole situation not look like a game to you]
[Yeah it does it was sarcasm in case your inbred brain couldn't handle that]
[If there are rankings that means there are prizes, does anyone know what they are?]
[I don't know, I assume that like an event when this ends the first to tenth will get something we should just ask them]
…
After killing the worker the Queen was alerted.
Instead of leaving I just stood there waiting, they possessed nothing that could threaten me so there is no point in running or even using tactics.
It took them a significant amount of time to get to me, a whole 90 seconds, if I was inclined to leave they would never have caught me.
But I didn't. I was just lying in wait with a vulpine grin on my face in anticipation of the incoming slaughter.
When the Queen finally got there she brought along an entourage of 24 workers.
The workers were set in a loose formation. There were 12 groups of 2 forming a V and inside the V was the Queen.
To test their tactics I charged head in transforming into my fox form for this. The first pair of workers that I charged tried to grapple me.
While I lunged at the first pair the 4 nearest pairs of workers circled around while I was handling the first two.
Forming a circle they brought their swords to bear piercing down on me. If I had not dodged they would have pierced me and the ones holding me but instead they just killed their own allies.
Having seen enough I stop playing around and slashed at each of their necks enough to decapitate them.
The last seven pairs were spread out with 5 charging at me while the last 2 pair went over to the queen.
The 10 workers or a pair of 5 were all killed in an instant and then I dashed towards the queen intending to finish this up.

[It hasn't even been 10 minutes but he already killed a Queen I didn't even know existed.]
[I know right, what kind of cheat does he have to be able to do this]
[Maybe they are just weak?]
[Definitely not I tried to kill one but my aether enhanced crocodile was almost killed forcing us to retreat]
[That difficult, and it's only the second day that's not enough time for us to develop]
[Well technically it's the third day it just crossed midnight]
[How do you know that smartass]
[Ahh… It's kind of embarrassing but I gained a talent where I can tell the exact time]
[That's hilarious a time telling Talent]
[Hey at least I have a talent unlike the majority of you guys.]
