Chapter 1509 1509. Need To Learn



"If you want to learn and have a look inside my head, then keep up." Scylla dashed in to the air to get ahead. She knew the village was close and they would need to move faster to scout it out.

With Walker following using his wind ripple skill to follow her in to the air, Scylla began to think about how she would go about teaching Walker. She had never needed to teach someone such things. As a general, she had to focus on the safety of the people and the quests her king sent her on.

Things had been changing though. Scylla had some very similar duties now that she stood as a representative for the demi-human people on Genesis council. But she was becoming closer to the people she represented and the other races as well. She was not purely about battle.

The change that had already shown was her more laid back personality traits. Scylla listened more and contemplated how everything would influence each other. But even more than that, she found herself searching out younger and younger talents to put in the best place for their growth. This was not something she would do before she had gotten to Genesis. Even in the coliseum, she was in charge of back in her home.

"Stop there. We need to descend so we can high in the taller grasses." This was important. The demon soldiers would easily see the two in the sky without any cover.

"I normally do not need to scout. I had to learn it when I was younger for certain reasons but nowadays I have troops for them. Some of them could have come with me but I chose not to have that happen." Scylla had sent them where they were more needed with weaker troops. The scouts were not as required when she was around to protect anyone she was with.

"I know the basics from Gil, but that has to do with monsters. I don\'t know where to start with attacking and taking down a large village with real guards." Walker could use some of the things he had learned from watching the guards his father worked with and under. But that was radically different. Those were human guards in a different kingdom. Not a demon run society that was incredibly strict.

"Guards don\'t matter. The patrols do. As you could see from the air, there are farther patrol routes that get worn down from constant walking. That\'s a telltale sign of merchants, guards, or soldiers." This was one thing Walker partially knew. But looking at it this way to was a good way for him to know what to expect when in an unfamiliar area.

"You can avoid them or follow them. Some scouting is better done at night. But right now, I doubt we need to worry about patrols. I can already hear a lot of noise up ahead." Scylla had purposefully taken a position downwind of the village. The soft breeze brought with it the noises of yelling and armor being reforged.

"Every little thing you can gather is an important detail that might win you a battle. Since we know that the demons are able to beat down their own people, those forging must be forced to do so. That means their families are most likely trapped somewhere as hostages to encourage their work." Scylla was in full teaching mode. Walker was amazed by how easily she could start to put together this image.

"We should get closer and gauge what they are doing, where they may have hostages, and what the best plan of attack would be." Scylla let Walker take the lead creeping through the tall grasses and avoiding the patrol routes.

As the buildings came in to view, Walker noticed the rough architecture. It was easy to guess that the buildings had all been broken before and poorly repaired in haste. Even the forges were less of buildings than they were just pen spaces with large forge furnaces attached.

"Look at how they are living…" Walker wanted to fix it all. He wanted to give the demons real homes that could protect them from the weather. That could allow them room for family.

"Look at the soldiers. They are entertaining themselves by trying to break their own swords. The disrespect to their weapons…" Scylla was angry with the fact that they had seen so many demon soldiers without a care for proper fighting etiquette and their own gear.

"Scylla, have you noticed we have only seen physical fighting troops. Demons are supposed to be able to fight with powerful magic skills right?" Walker saw this clearly now. He was looking at a larger village with no reasoning as to why mages were not there.

"The battle with Wrath made everyone think that mages wouldn\'t be around due to his control…how long will we go without realizing that the demon mages are missing." Scylla was growing with frustration. The slimes being let loose in the demon lands. The villages being attacked by only physical soldiers. And now the demon mages missing. The mystery was getting more pieces but harder to see.

"We need to get closer. I want to send that information out to every other group, but they will notice. This is a good village to have one of Ventus\'s children guard. It could be a supply base and a place to send demons to heal." Walker saw the potential in this larger village. Without a doubt the dwarves would help repair it as well.

"Then we will lay flat on our stomachs and crawl. A little dirt is nothing for the most important information." the lack of guarding was perfect for the two to creep closer and closer on the ground. So close that Walker could hear the loud and power drunk demon soldiers speaking.
