The Demon army failed to attack the city.
Not only that, but many people died.
Impregnable walls. No matter how the Demon army struggled they still could not break through the gates. What’s worse, those soldiers who were trying to use ladders to climb the walls have become cannon fodder.
The defeated Demon army retreated back to the camp. Some soldiers were healing their wounds while others were having a rest.
As a bystander I was in a bit of a downbeat mood because of the Demon’s defeat, as I hadn't helped in any way.
But the Demon army that returned to the camp was surprisingly not demoralized in the least but was still stationed as usual. Solz and the others were still planning the next siege.
I was in my master's exclusive tent. The master was staring at the map which was the size of an ordinary TV set, and I really didn't know what was so good about it.
So I just stayed in bed and dawdled away the time as usual.
I was just about to go into a meditative state when my master spoke to me.
"How do you feel?"
Feeling? Shouldn't the master be able to know what's going on in my mind? Why would she ask me?
I looked at the master, and she was staring at me seriously and didn't answer the question in my mind, which meaned she blocked my inner thoughts.
"Is it the feeling of siege war?"
The master nodded, "Do you feel disgusted?"
"I feel okay, nothing special."
Although it was quite bloody, I have adapted to the bloody environment because I have killed countless animals in the wild. Besides, I often dream about war, but in the dream my immersive feeling is not as strong as reality.
"That's good. Rest early. Tomorrow go with me to investigate the Valan Mountain Range."
"Investigate the Valan Mountain Range?"
The master looked at the map on the table.
"Reinforcements from Zdis City will be arriving soon. It is likely that humans will station there. I don't think the humans will choose to risk their lives to defend Lahs City while we prepare to counterattack Lahs City. If they can't defend Lahs City, there must be some ways they can retreat during that period. We have been preparing for a week in Kroni City, so it is likely that the humans will station in the Valan Mountain Range during that time. When humans can't hold Lahs City, they can collaborate and break through our siege and then retreat."
I froze as I watched her draw on the map. I was listening to her as she constantly analyzed the situation with me.
For the first time, I heard my master say so much without peeking into my mind. I would relax a lot if my master didn't peek into my mind. And I would no longer be afraid of thinking something wrong in my mind.
I forced myself to listen to my master's boring analysis of the battle, which had the feeling that I was working on the same level as my master, so I had to cherish this hard-won equal time.
Perhaps the master saw me looking at her with a serious face and thought I was listening carefully, so she continued to speak.
"If the humans just happen to be stationed there, and the reinforcements from Zdis City that pass by there will be discovered by the humans, they will definitely ambush our reinforcements there and hit them hard."
The master looked up at me.
I nodded awkwardly without knowing anything about the military, and replied briefly.
"We have sent troops to ambush the Earl River in the urban section of Lahs. If the humans send reinforcements from their kingdom, they will definitely have to cross the river, and our troops will crush their reinforcements on the river. I think the humans guessed that we would do the same. So I think humans will probably station their troops in the Valan Mountain Range."
I looked down at the map on the table. And the graphic of the Valan Mountain Range looked like a centipede lying on the map.
"But the Valan Mountain Range are so big, how can we possibly find out where they are stationed?"
"That's why we need you."
"Me?"
The corners of the master's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"If the humans are stationed in the Valan Mountain Range, that is indeed the perfect decision. It is difficult for us to get their garrison location. If we send our troops to scout, the enemies will know what our troops are doing clearly, at that time our scouts will probably be wiped out there as a result."
I looked at her with confusion, so is there no way to scout?
The master went on to explain.
"All the time, the humans have only seen the Ilotia on the battlefield, so they must have habitually thought that the Ilotia would only fight on the frontal battlefield."
After listening to what my master said, I instantly understood that my level ability is increasing exponentially, not that four levels are twice as powerful as two levels.
That is to say, if my level ability reaches to ten levels, my perception ability is very terrifying. Physical strengthening magic surge and body sensitivity increased significantly are the main performance. However, in order to be able to become the perfect fighting weapon, not only will I be able to fight, but also I have a strong perception ability in case of sneak attack, or, in order to find out the location of the opponent.
Although I can not fight, I can still use these abilities to provide intelligence for the army of the Demon.
Perhaps seeing my expression of understanding, the master nodded in satisfaction.
"So they definitely can't guess that Ilotia still has a reconnaissance role."
However, I asked, "Master, do you know my abilities well?"
"Em."
The master just nodded slightly.
It is really stupid for me to ask this question, because the other party is the Demon Lord who created my body. So how could she not even know what else the thing she created does?
Maybe the intelligence is important.
"Do we need to inform Solz ?"
"They've already been told."
So I'm not the first one to hear these views.
But the master suddenly seemed like a different person tonight, becoming much more talkative and softer in expression. Not only that, she didn't read my mind tonight, and I didn’t believe there's any cooldown for this mind-reading technique.
But suddenly I felt a little uncomfortable because my mind wasn’t read by my master. If I had any doubts in my mind before, the master would answer me according to the circumstances without my saying.
After a moment of hesitation, I still asked my doubts.
"Master, why did you say so much to me tonight?"
The master stared at me quietly for a moment, as if in thought, but I could see no particular emotion in her expression.
"As a member of our Demon army, you cannot fight with doubts, so you have the need to understand these things."
The master stood up from the table. Just as she turned around, I called her off again.
"By the way, why don't you listen to my heart?"
The master paused for a moment and turned her head slightly to give me a sideways look.
"Nothing, I also want to be quiet once in a while."
So that's how it was. I snickered in my heart without any reasons as my freedom increased a little more.
This was the second night when I lived with the master. How rare this situation! After all, it was rare for a slave to be able to live with the master.
But maybe I'm just too stuck on the rituals.
What will be going on in the future? Will I gallop into battle one day?
I don't know, at least I feel pretty good for now.
