Insect Forest,
Mateo Roth walks out the city gate together with his team members. The Fire Sword team is currently the leading team in bandit hunting missions and is considered to be the strongest one.
Apart from Mateo, the vice captain of the team was a female Initial Trainee Warrior, Carla Gill, a Fire Elemental user.
The other three male members were also carefully selected by Mateo. Except Mateo, everyone in this team has the same strength as the Initial Trainee Warrior and everyone was a fire elemental user.
Mateo, on the other hand, was a mid-level trainee warrior. The whole city thinks that the team leader of the fire sword team is a powerful warrior. But no one of them had a clue about his actual strength.
Even the team members couldn't see through Mateo. There are numerous reasons for it. From the beginning, the fire sword team never fought with bandits, excluding a few situations.
So everyone in the team knew Mateo was a trainee warrior, but they didn't know whether he was mid-level one or peak one.
At this time, everyone is heading toward the camp site. Everyone had a sword on their back, including Mateo. On the way, all the warriors averted their gaze.
The whole iron post city knew that the fire sword team had successfully subdued many other teams.
Without minding their attitude, Mateo Roth asked, "Will everyone arrive?"
Carla Gill replied, "Leader, I have informed everyone. Soon, they will gather at the campsite"
Mateo Roth nodded his head.
Carla Gill is a warrior from the Gill family. The Gill family is close to the Roth family. For Mateo's sake, his family arranged a few capable Warriors to accompany him.
Apart from Carla Gill, other Warriors infiltrated into other teams, like Benny Sutton, the Captain of the Black Fist team.
Currently, the fire sword team is dressed in a red adventurer's suit. It's a unique combat dress custom made by the Roth family.
Soon, the team reaches the camping area. which was already crowded with people. Upon seeing the fire sword team, the crowds' murmuring quieted down.
Mateo Roth halted his steps and glanced around the surroundings. Next, he looked at the people in front of him. The team's badge on their chest is used to identify them.
After taking a look, Mateo asked, "Carla, What about the other four teams? There is no wind of them. "
"Leader, the other four teams already ventured into the forest a day ago," Carla said.
Hearing that Mateo's eyes furrowed, Unlike people's beliefs, only Mateo knows that he had no interaction whatsoever, other than a simple greeting with the other four teams.
His Roth family was asked by someone to help bandit Boss Soren. So he came here with Carla and a few others.
After a few months of bandit hunting missions, Surprisingly, the other four teams also adopted their fire sword team's tactics.
They too started to subdue other weak teams. Not only the tactics, the other team also selected members based on basic elements.
Then, dispelling these thoughts, he looked at everyone in front of him and ordered, "Alright, I don't want to wait anymore. I believe all of you received tasks from Carla. You just have to investigate those dangerous areas and send that information back to us"
"Gasp! " a small commotion broke out among the crowd.
Everyone received the information some time ago, but many of them were not satisfied. Just because they submitted to the Fire Sword team, doesn't mean they have to listen to every demand.
"No, we won't go!" someone from the crowd shouted in anger.
"Yeah, we are here for a bandit hunting mission." Another voice sounded from the ground.
"The City Lord Mansion didn't allow anyone to trespass into the dangerous area." Another warrior screamed out in anger.
Hearing that Mateo was slightly displeased, he immediately released the breath of the mid-level trainee warrior.
"Rumble"
The overwhelming pressure enveloped everyone within seconds. Most of them have weak bases planted on the ground directly.
"Pfff" Warriors spurt blood directly due to impact.
Carla and others stepped backwards.
When the aftermath settles down, some of the weaker Warriors found to be injured. Only the Warriors with a Trainee Warrior base managed to hold on.
Seeing that, Mateo was quite satisfied.
Then he said to everyone, "Now, I want to see who else is dissatisfied with the order."
The atmosphere turned quite sullen for a moment.
At this time, no one came forward to ask a question. Everyone realised this young man didn't even put the City Lord in his eyes. So don't even talk about the adventurers like them.
Seeing that there was no voice, Mateo commented, "Alright, I'll take silence as your affirmative."
After saying that, he pointed fingers at injured people and said, "Except, injured Warriors, the rest of you go to the mission."
Hearing that, the trainee warrior acted. Soon, they gathered together with their team and walked towards the insect forest.
Right now, only warriors with a special trainee base are left. Seeing that, Mateo ordered them to go back to the city.
Like Carla, there is also another warrior under his command, Benny Sutton.
Remembering him suddenly, Mateo asked Carla, "What about the Black Fist Team?"
Hearing that, Carla replied, "Actually, they are inside the forest. I told them to gather at the nearest safe point. "
Mateo nodded. He also decided to go out later. There are still quite a few teams yet to arrive. All he cares about is the strength of the Trainee Warriors. The special trainee in the teams doesn't have to go.
Some of the dangerous spots in the insect forest were life-threatening to even Peak Trainee Warrior. He didn't know how the bandit, Boss Soren, was actually able to live in this deadly forest.
Next, the fire sword team walked into their tent.
After taking a seat, Mateo asked her to take out the Insect Forest Map. Maps were mostly in digital form, but for family tasks, Carla personally drew a map for convenient use.
Carla placed the map made of animal skin on the table.
A flash of appreciation flashes in Mateo's eyes while looking at the map. The map is not only detailed and neat like a digital one. Carla personally detailed a few places on them.
In his opinion, these few places were only known to their fire sword team. Evem the City Lord Mansion's map is pale in comparison to their map.
The other four members also focus their attention on the map.
Mateo gazed at the nearest dangerous spot. It's located on the west side of the forest called "Mutated Bee Queen Nest."
Usually, mutated monsters were hard to deal with compared to normal-class monsters. Here the dangerous bee queen was mutated.
What's the most disturbing thing? It's not known whether the mutated bee queen is a level 2 or level 3 monster.
In his opinion, if it's a class 3 monster. The area does need to be called a dangerous one. So the mutated bee queen is a Class 3 monster.
When it comes to class 4, He thinks it's impossible. Class 4, comparable to Elite Warrior, if it's true then the bandits wouldn't have survived now. "It's safe to say that the mutated bee queen is almost Class 3 Peak one," Mateo said to himself.
Having a fire element with mid-level trainee strength Mateo is quite confident in facing the challenge. He just needed to wait for their warriors to scout for him. It would be troublesome if they missed anything.
Next, Mateo said to everyone, "We'll go to the mutated bee queen's nest."
Hearing that everyone nodded, Carla too didn't have any opinion about this.
Then the fire sword team waited for those warriors to send back news.
…
Crimson Hall, "Ha... Ha... Ha...The old guy has really met with bad luck," First Elder Casey said with a laugh.
When he heard the reports from the headmaster in front of him, he couldn't help but smile.
Earlier, he had already predicted something like this would happen. But he didn't expect the elders from hostile forces to enter their premises.
It's good that Grand Elder Chris diffused the situation. As a host of this event, it's difficult to stand against the hostile force.
For the time being, the crimson hall needs to treat everyone the same. Then,
looking at the useless headmaster, he thought about something and asked, "How is the progression of Star Tower Participants?"
Half of the plan has been completed. Now, First Elder Casey decided to take a look at the Crimson Hall students' progression.
He hopes that at least a few of them will be accepted into Tier-6 academies. As a host of the event, it would be the same if their own warriors didn't perform well.
The headmaster's eyes lit up with surprise. Just like others, he was clueless about the competition. In other major factions, the headmaster has certain power. But here he is not qualified to know about the crimson hall competition.
Perceiving the First Elder's gaze, he hurriedly replied, "First Elder, rest assured. Everyone is working hard. Especially the warriors who participated in the Star Tower Competition. Some of them have reached initial Trainee Warrior"
"Initial Trainee Warrior?" The First Elder Said.
If it were the last decade, the Initial Trainee Warriors would be considered as geniuses.
But right now, the situation is different.
As far as he knows, some of the descendants of allied forces have reached Peak Trainee Warrior. It's even hard to believe such news. But he knew those old sky foxes had really spent a huge fortune on their descendants this time.
