As the Chief turned around he saw his tent bathed in flame. He immediately goes into action and swings his war hammer. This once again sends a wave of air that manages to put out the flames on the outside of the tent. This allows the Chief to forget about checking the inside and run to start giving orders to save the base. "Get this water moving to over there! What are you doing?! I said to get there to help!"

After a long hour the flames finally dissipate. The Chief yells "Everyone take a long break! Heads go to my tent, immediately!!"

When the Chief arrives at his tent he picks up his war hammer and slams it down. This cracks the ground and causes a massive bang.

When the heads arrive they see what the Chief was so mad about. The tent was pure ash with nothing left standing. The Chief collects himself and says scary calm "Your reports?"

The Medical head gets looks from the other two and goes first. "We have managed to keep burn injuries to a minimum. At the moment there is only 3 with severe burns while 20 others will be treated and healthy by first light. As for deaths, we managed to lose no one. We did get some injuries relating to the objects used by the attacker, which are being tested and treated, Chief."

The Chief grunts "Next." This time the Defense head steps up.

"We have lost 90 percent of all of our perimeter walls. This was due in combination with lack of direction without orders, and a badly executed way to transport water. I believe with more direction on what to do, this will not happen again."

The Chief nods "I will leave this new system to you then. Next."

The Investigation head starts while having a nervous look on his face. "We were able to find one trace of this attacker. At the front gate he killed the old Defense head by stabbing him through the skull. After looking at the fire, I believe that our expedition failed to kill the attacker…"

At this point the Chief swings his war hammer again, cracking the ground. "So we missed one, huh. Sorry, please continue."

The Investigation head swallows. "We know this to be the same attacker due to his attack pattern and fire is the same, the only difference is that the attacker damaged a larger area. That is all, Chief."

The Chief stays silent for a minute before saying. "We are going out on another expedition to find that attacker. I want him dead by my own 2 hands."

Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

The Medical head speaks up "That is a good idea, however I think it is best to wait. At the moment many men are injured, so the defense of the base will be weak and you will have less men to take. Also don't you need permission from the home base, Chief?"

The Chief growls "Fair enough. We will be going on an expedition soon. For now gather all the men able to work, and start having them repair the perimeter wall. I will be reporting things to home base, so make sure no one disturbs me."

The heads all respond "Yes, Chief" and go off. The Chief standing there walks into the ash and pulls out the only thing that didn't burn and starts talking into it. "Hello? Yes, Superior? I have news regarding the base and attack expedition."

On the other end the Superior asks "Why are you using this then? The normal way should be fine."

"Yes, the reason is that we just got attacked. Now before you say anything hear my report. We were able to find the base of the attackers and destroy it. The thing is that one of them is still out there and has started attacking us again. The damage this time was to my tent and destroyed the normal messenger machine. All I need is, just need your permission to go search for this attacker again and everything will be solved."

There is silence before "You got one more shot, if you fail again then you're done." The Chief, while smiling, sees the machine power off, and says out loud. "I will find and kill you, whoever you are."

Meanwhile Jace with the remaining daylight tackles processing the wolf. He starts by skinning the wolf and puts its fur in a safe spot. 'I remember there was something about processing fur in the processing meat book. If it starts to get cold than it will come in handy'.

From there Jace starts cutting out all of the meat cuts that look the best while talking. "Ribs will be good. Ooh, I might be able to make jerky from this."

Jace then takes a piece and tosses it up in the air "Reaper catch." Reaper swoops and grabs it seeing Jace with a little smile. Reaper can tell that this smile was forced and Jace was just trying to keep himself occupied.

After Jace finishes he takes a look at his loot. He had a small pile of bloody meat and a rack of ribs. "Reaper, am going to dispose of this stuff. Can you keep watch?" Reaper chirps and flies up. After walking a bit, Jace arrives to the hill where he had dumped the demon body before. After throwing everything down the hill, Jace stands in the silent woods taking a deep breath.

Jace exhaling turns back around and sets his mind on how to cook the meat. Reaper flies down to which Jace starts rambling. "How and what should I cook it, Reaper? We could have a grilled steak. We could cut it up and grind it making it into hamburger meat. Or we could make the ribs." Jace paused for a minute thinking "I think I have a little BBQ sauce for the ribs. What do you think?"

At this point Jace hasn't realized that Reaper didn't know anything Jace was talking about, so he stares at him. Jace goes "Well, no answer huh. Guess I will just grill it for now." After they got back and Jace finished cooking, they were both looking at the piece of meat with there mouth watering. Reaper immediately digs in and is soon followed by Jace.

Jace devours it wondering how a wolf could be that good. As Jace cleans up he feels a weird feeling in his stomach that was spreading to other parts of his body.

Jace then falls to his knees grabbing his stomach, when he feels the feeling suddenly disappear. Jace then hears a notification. "What in the world is that?"
