Chapter 835 Pinata Pork
Karl wasn't sure what Cara meant by 'they leave the loot' when she had apparently used an area disintegration effect on the boars. Logically, there would be nothing left of them at all.
But when Karl looked over the grass in front of him, he found that there were actually treasures left over.
There were hundreds of gems, small items and bits of precious metals on the ground where the boars had been.
"What is all that?" Karl wondered out loud.
A squeaky voice behind them made a hopeful noise, then the Demon cleared his throat and began to talk.
"The Stone Crushers refine rocks and metals to precious materials in their stomachs. That makes them excellent hunting targets. You know, if you can actually kill them.
My team brought two Overlord Rank Warriors with us, but the intel was wrong. They said a small pack, and there are thousands of them here. We were overrun."
Hawk used a claw to open one of the boars in his space, and sure enough there were rough gems and metals, many of them strange alloys, as they weren't finished converting yet.
The beasts started throwing anything that looked like good stuff into their spaces to be sorted later, or given to Ashbringer. He seemed like the sort of guy who would appreciate a small mountain of assorted ore.
Karl leaned down and picked up a pale blue ore lump at his feet, only slightly larger than a marble.
"Well, it's better than nothing. But Cara, be nice to Brother Hawk and don't disintegrate all his snacks."
Snacks that Hawk was now reconsidering. He didn't know that they were full of stones when he was swallowing them whole.
[There are more people coming. I think we caused a scene.] Hawk informed them from his artillery position in the sky.
[Remi, you can let the storm end once the current coverage area is clear.] Karl decided.
[That's almost all of them. Are we leaving something for the locals?] She asked.
[As long as it's the local guard and not some poachers. If they're trying to cause trouble, we will just reset the trap with them inside as well.]
Rae chuckled, and activated [Night Haunter] to become incorporeal. If these new arrivals wanted to play, she would happily play with them.
Karl waited patiently as the newcomers advanced, and found that it was not a group of locals, or town guards from Qidrekh. It was a unit from the First Leg Regiment, fifty Overlords strong.
"Gentlemen, we weren't expecting to see you here. Did you need supplies?" Karl called, with a gesture toward the rest of the Stone Crushers.
"How are your casualties? We have a shaman who can resurrect." The flag bearer of the unit called back.
"Zero casualties on our team, but we have a survivor of another group with us, and they were overrun."
The unit came to a stop in front of Karl, and the man hopped down from his two legged mount. It almost looked like the ones they used in Newbon, but somehow more demonic and serpentine.
"A member of their team found us as well. He asked that we rescue his friends. You said that you have one?"
Karl gestured to the Demon behind him, who was trying to hide behind Lotus.
A pointless effort. He would have done better trying to hide behind Dana, but they were both smaller than he was.
Dana pushed him forward, and the Flag Bearer laughed. "Oh, isn't this a prize. The survivor is a deserter?"
