God of Tricksters

Chapter 443 - Theo’s Decision

"Do you want to come with us?"

Hearing that question, Theo took a step back and looked at her weirdly. However, he soon contemplated his choice and what kind of situation they would create had they attacked Wolf City.

"Attacking the city, huh. Do you know any information about their number and strength?" Theo asked.

"Nope. We have no idea. The city is shut tight and no one has the information about the enemy's strength." Phyrill knew this was the biggest reason for Theo to doubt this plan.

But to his surprise, Theo nodded, "Sure. Let me join you… That is if you don't mind."

"Eh?" Phyrill was taken aback by Theo's decision. Unlike his Hilbert Family, Theo did not need to check the information regarding this reckless action. Yet, the same Theo just agreed to join.

"What? You don't want me? I will go by myself if you don't want me." Theo shrugged and looked away while adding, 'I believe following them is better than going alone this time. There are two reasons.

'First, I can take advantage of this situation to kill more monsters, especially the stronger ones, by using the others as bait. And with such a huge number, the enemies they faced should be more than them, giving me the opportunity to kill multiple monsters.

'Instead of killing twenty monsters in a small group, it's better to kill fifty out of a thousand monsters in this kind of raid. This should allow me to reach a far higher level than my original target, becoming closer to what I need to find my brother.

'As for the second reason… I can observe the wolves' movements by joining this raid. After all, it's better to witness them myself instead of being ignorant to their movement. There is a huge chance that the wolves will spread all over Sinx Forest, hunting the ignorant me. There's no way I want to get another fifty wolves chasing me while I'm fighting another fifty…

'Hence, I think the safest place in this forest is in this group. Not only does it have enough people to retreat, but it also provides enough information about the surroundings.

'Well, I can certainly leave Sinx Forest, but I can only barely reach my target since I need time to travel to another place. I can't really go to Eion Place, can't I? It will just lower my leveling speed. This is the best option I have right now. No pain no gain.' Theo let out a long sigh.

Phyrill didn't know Theo's thoughts on this matter. However, he appreciated Theo's presence in this group as he quickly agreed, "Of course. It's good to have you on the team."

"Nice. Though, I plan to roam alone before the raid starts. It's going to be three days from now, right?"

"Yeah. But you should go to the camp first to understand the situation."

"I guess that's a good idea." Theo didn't reject his invitation and said, "I shouldn't disturb you anymore. I will go there by myself… I think?"

"Nah, it's better with my group. They will know that you will be assigned to my group instead of the military or other groups. Mine is as solid as the military, but you know Ellen and me, so it's better." Phyrill smirked.

"You're right." Theo pondered for a moment. "How many people have you gathered so far?"

"There are a total of a hundred soldiers, seventy individuals from independent groups that choose to join midway and sixty people from my group."

"It's less than I expected." Theo shook his head. "By the way, is there a Supreme Rank Expert?"

"We have one. He's a new Supreme Rank Expert from the military and his job is to monitor the whole operation. That's why we are buying time for the reinforcement and using this raid to measure the enemy's strength."

"We may lose many lives, you know." Theo furrowed his eyebrows.

"In the midst of every crisis lies great opportunity." Phyrill smiled and sighed in succession. "Though, I can't defend them for being reckless. I just feel that they have something big going on, but I don't know what it is yet."

"I see." Theo didn't really care about the military's purposes since he would leave this country within six months, so he thought there was no need for him to know. As long as he took advantage of some opportunities and reached his goal, it should be enough. He said, "Military aside, I hope their strategy is good."

"Hehe, our strategist here wants to tell them the war plan."

"Ehm…" Theo rolled his eyes. "Not really. I don't have experience in commanding a battle this big. So, I will probably mess up like how I did when fighting you and Ellen in the school competition."

"I still remember that." Ellen chuckled. "I could easily suppress you back then. And to think you can do the same to me now…"

"I don't know if I can do that." Theo stuck his tongue out. "You are strong, Ellen."

"You're far stronger though. I have heard of your gallant figure fighting the ground dragon." Ellen shrugged.

"Haha…" Theo looked away. "I still need to get even stronger to fulfill my dreams and achieve my goal."

"I guess this is our difference. You are already looking at the world while we are still looking at this small pond called Thersland." Phyrill smiled. "Though, I'm still planning to go around the globe to get stronger. The door of opportunity opened wide after we got third place. Thersland can gradually become stronger."

"And by that time, I won't be here." Theo thought it was the time he left so as to not waste any more time. "Anyway, how about I go to the camp at 7 PM? This way, I won't hinder your group and go there as your friend."

"Yep. Let's do it your way." Phyrill nodded and pointed at the left. "We're going to hunt in this direction. You can go to the right, but others may use it right now."

"I have my own spots." Theo waved his hand and turned back. "I will leave for now."

"Okay, let's meet again tonight." Ellen smiled. "Still, it's surprising to see you roaming in this area alone, Theo."

"I'm used to it." Theo shrugged and left. "Take care."
