Battle of Ascension

Chapter 128: The Greater Duskwings' Scheme

Randy just grinned at The Greater Duskwings' plead. Actually, he did this was to buy some time for him and his wife to recover their stamina. Both already drank the second stamina potion as Randy captured The Greater Duskwings.

As for the normal Duskwings were just looking at the leader which miserable under Randy's feet. The minion didn't dare to move as the leader asked it to.

Randy felt no funny anymore like before as The Greater Duskwings kept pleading. But he thought some a good idea as The Greater Duskwings said it would do anything for him.

In the first place, his goal was to find the Territory King of Banten Territory.

'Maybe I can ask this monster where the Territory King was?' Randy smiled at The Greater Duskwings which under his feet.

"All right, I will spare your life if you tell where is the Territory King of Banten Territory!" Said Randy in a commanding tone.

As the fellow monsters, Randy believed The Greater Duskwings knew where the Territory King was as it was Ancient grade monster and had high intelligence. It must know the king of its own territory.

The Greater Duskwings didn't answer immediately. It paused for a while and remembered 2 months ago there was a monster proclaimed as the king of Banten Territory. As The Greater Duskwings had a high pride, it challenged the monster who proclaimed as the Territory King and were beaten with ease.

It was the first time for The Greater Duskwings experienced a setback. It also the first time felt fear for another being. Hearing Randy's question there was a flash idea in its head, it had a new plan.

Surely Randy guessed right as The Greater Duskwings nodded its head and said meekly, "I know, but why you want to where it is?"

Randy noticed there was a trace of fear in its eyes as The Greater Duskwings said it knew where the Territory King was. But Randy also felt something different from The Greater Duskwings' eyes. Somehow Randy felt The Greater Duskwings he saw earlier came back. It made the same expression when it plotted for him and Zhen Yi to take their helmet off.

'You must make a scheme in your head, but it's useless' Sneered Randy in his heart.

"It has nothing to do with you. Just give me where are the Territory King's location and I will spare your life," Randy snorted at The Greater Duskwings' inquiry.

There was a glee in The Greater Duskwings' expression but it was only a few seconds before turned back into fear.

"But the king is too strong for you. Sir hooman, better you don't provoke it," The Greater Duskwings reminded in kindness. Its tone was soft made Randy's body shivered.

"Just tell me where the Territory King's lives. Why are you so fussy? You want me to cut one of your hands first before you tell me?" Randy threatened The Greater Duskwings. He raised his sword and looked at it left hand.

Looking at Randy's sight on its left hand. It trembled in fear and buried its left hand with its body immediately. It feared Randy would really cut its left hand and said hastily, "This Great only reminded sir hooman in kindness as sir hooman forgive this Great life. This Great doesn't want sir hooman's life in danger as the Territory King is too powerful,

"2 months ago, this Great with my other four friends confronted the Territory King which resulted in our loss. It was so powerful, it killed my two friends in the battle while this Great and others only managed to leave superficial wounds on Territory King,

"In the end, the Territory King spare this great and my two friends which still alive with one condition that this Great become its subordinate with a death pact. In order to keep our life, this Great and my two friends did the death pact with Territory King,"

There was a strange words "death pact" at the end of The Greater Duskwings' story which piqued his interest. This was the first time for Randy to hear the death pact term. He curious but he didn't ask it.

'I will ask Shana later,'

Also, he left speechless by The Greater Duskwings. He only asked about where the Territory King was, yet it told him its past. He was not sure if the story was true or not as Randy managed to guess a little of The Greater Duskwings' scheme.

The Greater Duskwings tried to flaunt how strong the Territory King was and told him indirectly to show the Territory King was stronger than him to piss him off. The Greater Duskwings thought if it succeeded to piss him off, he would challenge the Territory King and fought the Territory King.

Maybe it would use this chance to stab him in the back? He was not sure too. But what made Randy confused why it's attitude change to gentle to him. Also, why The Greater Duskwings didn't tell him immediately where the Territory king was and chose the roundabout way to tell him the Territory King was stronger than him?

'Is it be nice to me to make an escape for itself?'

If later he could defeat the Territory King with ease, it had an escape way as it treated him good? If yes then The Greater Duskwings intelligence could not be underestimated. But it was also a useless plan as he would kill it after he knew where the Territory King's location was.

But Randy underestimated The Great Duskwings intelligence. Its next words made him could not kill it.

"All right, I will bring you there. The Territory King's place is complicated and sir hooman need a guide to reach that place. It is hard for sir hooman to go there alone without a guide," The Greater Duskwings said meekly. The fear, terror, and despair were gone because there was a hope for it to survive.

Actually, Randy's guess was not far from the mark. The Greater Duskwings already made three plans in its head. Also, what it told to Randy was true about it confronted the Territory King, but it was not 100% truth.

It polished a little as the one challenged the Territory King was itself alone. There was no friend helped it. Also, it was beaten in an instant like Randy beating it just now. That was why it made three plans.

The first plan was to watch the fight first to determine which side is stronger. If both sides had the same strength. It was sure even in the end there was a winner, it was not an easy fight and The Greater Duskwings thought the winner of the fight would be heavily injured. Then it would kill the side who won and became the Territory King of Banten Territory.

The Greater Duskwings thought Randy and the Territory King's was almost the same. That was why this was its first plan.

The second plan and the third plan was to secure his life. If the Territory King won, it would flatter the Territory King and told the Territory King what Randy did to him. Afterward, It would make a false remark by saying Randy forced it to bring him here.

What if Randy won the fight? The same, it would flatter to Randy. Also, this was the reason why it changed its attitude became good. Reminded out of kindness and in an indirect manner provoked Randy to piss him off at once.

The Greater Duskwings was sure Randy would spare its life if its plan proceeded smoothly. So, it set its heart at ease after made the three plans. Of course, It brought Randy to where the Territory King resided was part of its plan.

As the actual place of the Territory King resided was easy to find. The Territory King resided in the highest mountain of Banten Territory.

Why did it say the place was complicated and needed a guide? It was to make sure Randy didn't kill it immediately after it told Randy where the Territory King's location. It was afraid Randy would kill it after it told the location. That was why it came up with a plan like that.

Randy looked at The Greater Duskwings in complex gaze before he shook his head. Afterward, Randy check the map and looked at where the place he already checked. He and his wife already explored half 4/10 Banten Territory. Now, he was considering If he should kill the Greater Duskwings or not.

If he killed The Greater Duskwings, it would take 1 or 2 days for him to find the Territory King's location. After a while, Randy made a decision to play with The Greater Duskwings a little longer.

It was better than explored each corner of Banten Territory to find the Territory King. Moreover, today was the last day of double EXP. He was sure he would level up if he killed another Territory King today.

Randy nodded his head and said in a threatening tone, "All right, you guide me to go there. But if you do something funny on the way, I will" Randy grinned while making a threatening gesture to The Greater Duskwings which made it trembled.

"No, I won't, I won't do something funny. I will obey what sir hooman said" The Greater Duskwings shook its head vigorously. It was really afraid this time and didn't dare to look at Randy's eyes.

"Good, make your underlings back to its nest," Randy ordered The Greater Duskwings as he lifted his foot which stepped on The Greater Duskwings' head and headed toward Zhen Yi.

Afterward, The Greater Duskwings rubbed its cheek which stepped by Randy for a while, as it wanted to walk toward its underlings it felt tremendous pain on its back. It was pain caused by its wings which got cut by Randy.

The Greater Duskwings sat back immediately as the pain it felt were unbearable. After the pain reduced, it shrieked toward underlings.

"Wiqqq wikkk swikkkk (Go back for now and get ready. When I leave the cave, you also follow me from behind, stealthily!),"

The Greater Duskwings still not give up yet to kill Randy or the Territory King. If his plan to kill Randy and the Territory King failed, it would use its underlings to block Randy or the Territory King and made a way for it to escape.

After settled this, The Greater Duskwings eased a lot.
