81 Camouflage Cloak (1/2)

There are times in life when you are lucky. And there are times in life when you are not.

I was a bit unlucky this time.

The village we arrived in was infested with mutant beasts.

By the looks of it, a battle seemed to have occurred here some time ago.

A battle between mutant beasts and abnormals.

The mutant beasts seemed to have won. Which was not a good news for us since it is harder to kill mutant beasts than abnormals.

I looked at my subordinates who were grumbling as they ate their rations and smiled. Despite our initial confrontation and their irrational fear of me, throughout the day while fighting along side them, I realized that they were good people.

So far, every single one of them had fought many enemies throughout the day and all of them had a few bruises and wounds to show for it.

None of them had died so far and we have covered a lot of ground. This counts as a success in my book and I took pride in the fact that I was not a bad leader after all.

After waiting near the tree for a few minutes I finally caught movement near the bushes.

Everyone became alert until they saw the figure of Tribhuwan. The smallest member of our team.

Despite that handicap, he was an excellent scout which he proved time and time again since he joined the team.

Was I a better scout than him.

Yes I was.

But he was quite good in his own rights so I used his talents whenever I could.

He arrived before me and inclined his head to show respect after which he went on and gave his report.

The summary of his report:- 1 3rd tier. 9 2nd tier. 33 1st tier mutant beasts.

All of them had eaten recently and thus most of them were resting.

Except the few who exception who saw fit to mate after a gruesome battle.

What? You thought that the beasts would lose their primal instincts because they mutated.

”Most of them are scattered throughout the village. A few of them, are resting in the middle of the village, including the 3rd tier mutant beast.” He said, finishing his report.

”Which mutant beast was it?” I asked.

”It's a mutant boar sir.” He replied

”I see.” I said and turned to look at the village. There were more than a hundred buildings in that village. And although they were at a a bit of distance from each other and most of them were demolished during the battle, they still made a good hiding position.

”What are we going to do sir.” Asha asked nervously and wondered how long it'll take them to stop fearing me.

I thought for a while and played different attack strategies in my mind.

There weren't many since mutant beasts have better senses than abnormals. But there were still many ways in which me and my team could wipe out the mutant beasts.

After thinking for a while, I chose the safest method in which I could get rid of them.

”You are not going to do anything.” I replied and when they were about to protest, I stopped them with a gesture of my hand.
