The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 646

Chapter 646 Large Group Hunting

Tabitha sighed as the group got sidetracked. "So, what first? The big group, or hunt another Overlord? We have three permanent kills today, and if we had claimed the body, it would have been four."

Niall shrugged. "It was better to encourage them to leave than to make them fight for the body. Besides, we can get another when we hit a group with only one Overlord."

Overlord Ahmad nodded in agreement. "We should hit the largest groups in the area first, so they don't reach the city, then go hunting Overlords. Four on one, they won't even be able to run away.

Who knows, maybe our young friends here will manage to get an above Rank kill at Monarch. Wouldn't that be something?"

The others laughed and Karl smiled at the Catman Mage.

"Now, we just need to find a way for you to get one at Overlord and shake the world." Karl offered.

The mage laughed. "Now you're pushing it. Totems are just built different. Literally. Their attack power is usually only half again as much as a peak Overlord, but the Totem advancement does something to them, and they take a tiny fraction of damage from anyone who isn't a Totem. I don't know what sort of defensive skill they all get, but even the Archbishop has it, so it's not a warrior type ability. That's why they're so important to their nations."

If you had to go fifty on one with Overlords to take on a Totem, even a healer specialist would be impossible to beat. Perhaps it should be, especially a healer would be impossible to beat.

[Three kilometres north, there is a huge group passing by us soon. Not strong, mostly Dana Mage level.] Hawk updated.

"We have a target. There is a large group passing three kilometres from us. Nobody has intercepted them, so they'll be headed straight for the city if we don't." Karl informed them.

"Alright, we trust your scout. Lead the way."

Hawk was suspiciously happy, like 'I just found water magic users to torture' happy. Normally, he was only bloodthirsty in specific situations, so Karl wasn't sure why this was different, until they topped a hill, and saw the army arrayed below them.

Mountain Giants, Hill Giants, Frost Giants, Ogres, Ettin, Cyclops and others that Karl had no name for were marching in formation towards the Capital, nearly two thousand strong.

Most were not at Royal Rank. There were hundreds of Ascended and Commander Rank Ogres and Giant subspecies at the back, working in the supply section. The number that were actually at Royal Rank or higher was closer to a quarter of the total.

That should make the start quick and bloody.

"Where are the leaders?" Niall muttered, not seeing the Overlords that should be with them.

"In the scouting groups all around the army, clearing the way for their advance. Our last fight let them move past us, and now we're behind their lines." Karl quietly replied, relaying Hawk's scouting intelligence.

Lady Othello turned to face them with a questioning look.

"What's the plan?"

"We fight. The Overlords hold back for now. You can tag team the reinforcements when they try to stop us. Put the bodies in your inventory, or call for one of my beasts to do it. They can't take them back to resurrect that way." Karl suggested.

"You're going to try to solo an army?" Tabitha asked in disbelief.

"I have a team. Besides, look how happy the War God is."

Tessa was literally glowing red with divine energy, and the army in the valley below them would notice it soon. "I called for reinforcements. If you can hold them here for five minutes, we will have hundreds of Elites and an entire regiment of cleric led infantry on site." Othello informed them.

Dana rolled her eyes at Karl, then sighed in resignation.
