PoV Mercenary
Denial and I were on the lookout. As usual, it's boring, and wolves are everywhere here. Fucking things, it's hard to kill them. Clever and cunning, the most unprofitable opponents to me. That's what, but here if you meet a bear, the battle will drag on for a long time. And if there are wolves nearby, there will be no end of problems.
- Hey Danial, do you think this spider fell here, or did it still fall near the lands of those scaly ones?
-I don't know, well, it's better here, I don't want to look at their lands. By the way, stop calling them scaly, they're dragonoids.
- What will they do to me for this? They only have scales as additional armor, and the strong ones are only able to breathe. They're just Fire Lizards in human form.
- Yeah, yeah, but still don't call them that if we do go there. Otherwise, we won't have any problems. Also, I heard they used to be very strong, but in past decades become weaker and weaker.
-It's probably just a fake. It's impossible for a whole race lost its all strength, isn't it?
-I think so, and I also heard that they are now planning to make their own city in their territories. And it seems that the Kingdom of Elvengal, together with the Empire of Brenga, are trying to suppress them.
- Yes, it's just a rumor. If I'm not mistaken, this is nothing more than a rumor that was spread by the nobility. Well, listen to this, before we left the town, I heard that they caught the son of the lord of that city. What nonsense. If the lord's sons are so easy to catch, then you can earn a living.
- Well, time will tell. By the way...
He stopped abruptly.
- What happened? Wolves? Or did you hear the lost spider?
- Wolves, Somewhere 4.
Well, then we can easily cope, I thought until I saw them. 3 Wolves came. Two look strong, I think if there are 5 of them, my chances will be somewhere 50%. But they are nothing. Their leader is huge and as if it can devour me so quickly that I won't notice. It looked at me with furious eyes. I noticed that it had a burn mark on its face. Who could have done this and run away? I thought.
-*Howl!*
It howled, and I soon realized that it had called for reinforcements.
-DAMN IT!!! EMMA! PETER! GET THE FUCK UP! THERE ARE WOLVES ATTACKING!! IF YOU DON'T GET UP RIGHT NOW, THEN ALL OF US GONNA HAVE ETERNAL SLEEP!!
...
Heh, well, what an uncultured person, basically as I thought. In all worlds, mercenaries are the same. Uncultured and rude. But most of them are relatively strong. They quickly got up and began preparing for battle.

The magician began to conjure a fiery arrow. The leader saw this and became furious. It immediately attacked the magician. She managed to move away under the Big Man's shield. But the wolf only walked around him and stabbed him in the back. And hit right at the weak spot in the armor. He didn't hurt himself much, but he realized that he was not to be trifled with and began to prepare for a long-term battle.
"The Forest Wolf
"Bite(5lv), Claws(4lv), Knowledge of weak points (4lv), Leader(5lv), Search for food(6lv), Sense of Smell(6lv), Combat Intelligence(3lv), Work in a pack(6lv)"
This one, unlike the past, is much stronger. If it wasn't for the cat's agility and chameleon skin, I would have died. By the way, I used an odorless spell before that to hide. My mana is almost full, I think I can use the magic of illusions to take 2. I decided to take someone who looks like a leader and that magician. But my chances are about 60%, a lot, but not too much. I'm still watching.
The magician does not rush to shoot, and apparently does not want to waste mana in vain. The big guy detains 10 wolves alone and went on the defensive. And the Leader fights with the leader 1 on 1, and barely holds on. The archer supports the big guy as much as he can, shooting wolves in the leg or the eye. He killed 2 wolves. Soon he was attacked by 2 wolves, because of this he also had to go on the defensive, only occasionally shooting with a bow. And the magician fights using a staff. 1 on 1 with a wolf.
At one point, she shot a fire arrow into its head and killed it. But at the same moment, the Leader ran into the Leader of the group and forced him to lose his balance. And at the same moment, it attacked the archer, apparently considering that it was the most annoying fly. The archer was able to escape thanks to the magician who threw a fireball in time to its leg. 2 wolves left the big guy and jointly attacked the magician. This time, the leader has already covered it. But at the same moment, the Leader attacked the archer again. The magician didn't save him this time. He chopped off his arm and then broke his leg before running back to the leader. And the two wolves that attacked the magician quickly switched to the archer.
- Aaaaaaaaaaaaa! -he let out a cry before his throat was bitten off. I've lost some precious XP. The big guy is barely holding on. He almost can't hit the wolves because of the armor. And even if he got caught, others attacked and did not give him a chance to continue. I think it's time. I shot a fireball at the big guy. Probably 2 or 3 wolves will die.
"You got 70 XP"
"You got 70 XP"
"You got 70 XP"
They are stronger than the wolves of that pack. And so while the leader was distracted by this, I used an illusion spell. 1 to the Leader, the other to a magician and a leader
...
PoV Leader
Suddenly I saw the light I wanted to go to. I took Emma and we ran there. And the leader stood and looked at the ground as if it was in trance. Could it be that it considered us worthy and let us go? But I quickly stopped thinking and went to the light. I saw a cave that was glowing. I went into it and suddenly felt pain. My mind cleared and I realized that I was under a spell. This pain was unbearable and I lost consciousness.
...
I quickly left there before the leader woke up. Upon returning, I carefully hid the traces that they left. When I entered the cave, I noticed two sleeping people. Weak and helpless. They were exhausted from the battle and all their pain was overwhelmed at once.
Using the magic of the earth, I created a cage for them that would delay even their movement, and then applied a weakness of the body to the warrior and a temporary mana overlap to the magician. It's time to start preparing for the interrogation.
