Next, all the flying dragons on the city wall were dealt with by Ellie in the same manner, one by one, directly smashed to death.
Initially, everyone thought that the flying dragons on the city wall would be the most difficult part of the entire rescue plan, but they didn't expect it to be resolved so easily.
What surprised everyone even more was that the flying dragons, which were considered the most difficult to deal with, were all hammered to death one by one by the 'Healer' in the team.
"This is the last one, right, Sir Xia Na? I'll leave it to you," Ellie said to Sir Xia Na after smashing the last flying dragon to death.
Sir Xia Na nodded silently, then immediately used High-Tier Teleportation Magic to teleport the dragon's corpse away. The destination was naturally the place where these humans had been settled earlier.
After all, in the game of Yggdrasil, dragons are treasures from head to tail; almost every part of their body can be used as material.
Even if they couldn't be utilized in this world, such a large dragon could still become food, allowing many people to have a meal.
"I didn't expect Miss Bai Xia's attack power to be so terrifying..." Arute muttered to himself, looking at Ellie, who was covered in blood, with a look of disbelief.
"Uh... maybe when Bai Xia was leveling up and last-hitting, all her growth went into strength? After all, this isn't the game world anymore; you can't allocate stats yourself when you level up. If this continues, our Healer is going to turn into a berserker," the uncle said, shrugging his shoulders with a helpless expression.
Livia-san, who was casting magic to clean the blood off Ellie, didn't say anything, but Livia-san also looked as if she had seen a ghost, and her surprised expression showed that she was indeed scared by Ellie.
"Hmm? Did you say something just now?" Ellie naturally heard the uncle's rather rude remark, so she turned her head and asked with a smile.
"No... nothing at all. I was saying that Bai Xia is unexpectedly amazing..." The uncle, scared, covered his nose and quickly replied. Only Sir Xia Na, who knew Ellie's true nature, watched her silently and said nothing.
After clearing the flying dragons on the city wall, basically, what remained to be dealt with were the guards in the area. Orcs were easy to handle, but Dragonkin needed to be carefully considered. So, the group on the city wall took a long detour and once again returned to the weakest northern city wall, invading from the northern area.
After descending from the city wall, the first thing was to contact Lan, who was acting alone. Lan didn't know any magic, not even the most basic communication spells, so naturally, they couldn't contact him with communication magic.
So, when dividing tasks, Lan gave Arute a whistle, saying that when this small item was blown, it would emit a special sound wave that normal people couldn't hear. However, Lan, as a ninja, would always have his Omnisense skill activated.
Therefore, within this large area, he could basically hear the whistle. One blow meant that the task on the city wall was completed, and he should come to the designated meeting point. Two continuous blows meant the mission failed, and he should escape immediately.
Naturally... Arute only blew once. Indeed, Arute blew the whistle, but it didn't make any sound. Then, Ellie immediately covered her ears, looking at Arute with a surprised expression.
"The sound this thing makes is so piercing! Didn't you say only Lan could hear it? Won't such a piercing sound attract those Dragonkin?" Ellie said, covering her ears in annoyance.
However, everyone looked at Ellie in confusion, as if out of everyone present, only Ellie heard this so-called piercing sound.
"Didn't any of you hear it? Am I the only one who can hear it...?" Ellie also felt very strange, but seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Ellie understood that they indeed hadn't heard it. Anyway, now wasn't the time to investigate this inexplicable thing, so Ellie didn't say anything more.
Before two minutes passed, Lan appeared directly. He probably didn't expect the flying dragons on the city wall to be dealt with so quickly!
"Your movements are a bit too fast! Although after taking down the first Dragonkin, I roughly understood that the dragons here aren't as powerful as in the game world, but your speed is a bit too outrageous!" Lan asked as soon as he arrived.
"Those flying dragons didn't seem very strong; Miss Bai Xia knocked them all to death with one hit each. So, how are things on your end? Are the Dragonkin also very weak?" Arute replied after glancing at Ellie.
"I assassinated three or four of them. They died almost without any resistance. Although my assassination skill is already at its highest, the success rate against targets above level ninety isn't very high, but it succeeded almost entirely against those Dragonkin. It feels like the Dragonkin's levels in this world aren't very high," Lan said.
"If that's the case... we'll split into two teams... Miss Bai Xia, Livia-san, and I will be one group, responsible for the southern area. The rest will be responsible for the northern area. If anything unexpected happens, please ask Miss Sir Xia Na or Livia-san to contact each other with magic," Arute suggested. Everyone agreed. After learning the fact that the enemies weren't strong, the next step was to finish the battle quickly.
Then, after Sir Xia Na and the others left, Livia-san immediately cast invisibility on Arute, Ellie, and herself.
Although there was no aura concealment, invisibility still had some effect on approaching targets. Moreover, the northern area was mostly guarded by Orcs, with not many Dragonkin. Having Lan, who could directly assassinate Dragonkin, responsible for the southern area where there were more Dragonkin, was indeed the optimal allocation.
However, Arute seemed to have overlooked one point: Orcs' noses are much sharper than Dragonkin's.
Although they had the blessing of invisibility, the group, who had lost their aura concealment, seemed to be fine in the crowded and smelly detention area. But when they reached the northern outpost, it was a different story.
That place looked like a resting and shift-changing area for the guards, and that place, similar to a guard room, was integrated with a watchtower. On the three or four-story high watchtower, there were still two Dragonkin standing guard.
Below, a dozen or so Orcs and Dragonkin were gathered around a bonfire, eating meat and chatting loudly.
Originally, according to the plan, Livia-san was supposed to use an AOE magic to take out both the people and the outpost in one go.
However, Livia-san's highest water-element attack magic required getting very close to cast, a detail even Ellie had overlooked.
It wasn't until the group approached within Livia-san's magic casting range, and a single Orc squatting by the bonfire alertly turned its gaze in Livia-san's direction, that Ellie remembered this.
However, without the aura-concealing barrier, Ellie couldn't directly speak to Livia-san. She could only nervously tug at Livia-san, who was casting, urging her to hurry.
Arute also seemed to understand, so he directly stood in front of Livia-san as a shield. If those Orcs really discovered them, he could protect Livia-san, who was casting and had no defensive measures, at the first moment.
