The Witch Hunter System

Over at the camp, Marquis Ember sent off a small portion of her troops on the three magic airships to scout and monitor the entire Red Goblin Mountains from the air.

At the same time, she waited for the survey team to arrive and give her an update on the situation.

”I was expecting the survey team to be present when we arrived, but it seems like they don ’t even have an outpost, ” Helia casually commented.

”Lord Helia must be joking. The survey team belongs to another inquisitor, and their numbers are not high or their strength. Stretching their forces thin to monitor the borders of the Red Goblin Mountains leaves them vulnerable. They would only die in a direct clash with the doggies in the mountains, ” Ember explained coolly.

”Ah… You ’re right, Marquis Ember. I have spoken thoughtlessly, ” Helia replied with a wry smile.

”That being said, Inquisitor Rosedriah most likely did set up an outpost. However, it wouldn ’t be here; it should be somewhere to the west of the Red Goblin Mountains. After all, she did bring her forces from the western side to assist me, ” Ember added.

”Anyhow, her survey team should have already received the signal from the magic airships. Although Inquisitor Rosedriah won ’t be coming as she needs to maintain command of the survey team, she should have sent someone closer to our side. ”

As they waited some time, Astoria suddenly started moving, intending to enter the mountains.

”Where are you going, Headmaster Astoria? ” Ember quickly asked.

”I can ’t just sit around here and wait. I will join the mercenaries and wipe out the goblins occupying the mountains to clear us a path to the core region, ” Astoria stated decisively while holding up her greatsword.
