But despite talking a lot, the group never let their guard down, so that in just over 4 hours they already had a completely defined plan, defined battle location and even several traps set up on the way.

Luckily this Gnoll camp didn't have any hostages, which would definitely make their job harder, but that still didn't mean it was going to be easy.

Gnolls were very fearful creatures, with the body in the shape of a more humanized hyena, these monsters were very strong and muscular, their paws made them very agile, and because they were canines, the instinct to live in packs was very strong, which caused Gnolls to band together in groups and always preferred to fight with companions, and the more companions the better.

Due to the high fertility this race had, it was practically considered a pest in every town they approached.

The first time monsters started to appear, as soon as the first monster portal appeared in the world, it was in a small town in the Irish countryside.

At first humans were very confused and excited about it, thinking it could be alien life, so they just watched from afar as they tried to analyze what these creatures that were emerging could be.

But after just 2 months, the number of Gnolls that came out of the portal which was only 10, had now multiplied to at least 200, which with the enhanced strength of these monsters and with humans still not having contact with Mana, made a difference. carnage in the small town, making the world understand that this portal was not friendly at all.

Soon after that, more and more portals appeared around the world, many times not lasting more than 1 hour open, others staying several months without closing with monsters coming out non-stop.

But even though much scarier monsters come out of the portals, the Gnolls made their reputation spread through humanity with great force, as they were the first monsters to decimate a city.

After that the humans were traumatized by the Gnolls and at any sign of Gnoll near a city anywhere in the world, the first order of business is to dispatch an elite group before these Gnolls reproduce, because if these monsters are left for 6 months, despite being only Rank E monsters, that would already have the strength to destroy most of the Players in a city like Sandstone Bay.

But even though they had a spawn rate, it also limited their potential, which didn't make it as difficult to destroy a camp of 50 Gnolls with just 6 or 7 Players as their current group.

Fortunately the area where the Gnolls were was probably already cleared of other monsters to be used as food for the Gnolls, who ate practically everything, so even though they had to explore a large area, the amount of monsters they found besides the Gnolls was very low.

As they knew that in this battle they would have to face at least 30 to 40 Gnolls, as they had already killed some, the group decided to find the best possible location for Caitlyn and Marcus to get good aiming angles and be able to cause large scale damage. .

Marcus would be in charge of inflicting various wounds on most monsters, thus using an automatic rifle with an extended magazine, while Caitlyn, who preferred to use a long-range sniper, would be in charge of focusing her shots on eliminating the fleeing monsters of the group, or those that were causing more trouble for another Player, leaving the more troublesome monsters for Madison to get rid of, as well as of course helping to deal with troublesome monsters with Madison if no monsters tried to run away.

To further leverage their advantage, the group waited for it to be night and Marcus lent each one night vision goggles, so even though it was pitch black, it still wouldn't hinder any of them, just making it more difficult for the Gnolls.

Of course, the difference between seeing in the bright light or with night vision goggles was too great, especially for Gabe and Madison who needed to use long range attacks with equipment not as accurate as Caitlyn's Marcus rifles, but that wasn't such an issue. big for them.

The technology of these glasses was already very developed, to the point that within 50 meters they could see everything almost perfectly, only after 50 meters that the glasses granulated the vision and hindered the visualization.

But considering that there was Marcus and Caitlyn to deal with the monsters in those ranges while Gabe and Madison would only need to focus their attacks on the closer monsters, it wouldn't hinder their battle at all.

As for the Gnolls, they would definitely be affected several times more than them, which was a huge helping factor.

With everything ready and the sky dark, Marcus spoke into the radio. "How is the situation, is everyone ready?"

"Yes, the Vanguard is ready." Draum confirmed over the radio with Max and the young man with the spear beside him.

"Yes, the Middle team is ready." Madison confirmed over the radio with Gabe beside her.

"The rear team is also ready, I will fire the flare in 5 seconds." Marcus responded with Caitlyn already handing him a flare gun as he kept count.

"4… 3… 2… 1…"

Pfft!

The flare gun was a different gun than normal guns, as what this gun did was drop a smoke bomb that glowed in the dark and emitted light colored smoke.

Something like that, in emergency situations, the more flashy the signal was, the better, but to deal with less intelligent monsters, there were more useful ways, and Marcus's pistol was one of them.

Initially the pistol released a red glowing ball that began to smoke slightly.

Because of the glow they were sure this would attract the attention of the Gnolls, who after a few seconds already started to react in their camp.

"Wowowowowoooooo!" It was possible to hear a Gnoll screaming in the distance.

Specially configured for situations like this, the flare gun ammunition that was still glowing a few seconds ago, still continued to glow for just another 30 seconds, which was enough for the Gnolls to get closer and identify the group's position.

Seeing the large group of Gnolls coming, Marcus didn't think twice and started opening fire with his rifle.

Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang…

Hearing that noise so loud beyond that bright spot in front of them drove the Gnolls crazy, making them start running towards the group frantically wanting to kill whoever was doing it.

But the group had Draum, a man with a gigantic shield that would serve as the best wall to protect Marcus, and that with the location they chose, where the passage for the Gnolls to reach the rear was quite narrow, increased the usefulness even more. of Draum, making it a solid safe wall.

With Draum holding the Gnolls back, Gabe summoned a knife and started controlling it to fly between the Gnolls, slicing through their tendons.

Gabe knew it would be really bad if he tried to kill Gnolls all the time, as it probably wouldn't be as efficient with the Mana he would have to spend pulling daggers out of Gnolls' bodies, or using multiple daggers in a row. while abandoning the previous daggers.

Hence he preferred to just focus on the tendons of the monsters, which despite the monsters moving a lot, it was still possible to strongly affect the battle even if he only cut a tendon every several seconds.

Swooosh

Madison next to him was completely focused as she shot arrows nonstop at the group, mostly attentive to the end of the Gnoll group in case any Gnoll wanted to run away to warn Caitlyn in case she didn't notice, besides of course focusing on the Mid Rank E Gnolls that she could harm .

They didn't know if the Peak Rank E Gnoll would come to their ambush, so to ensure that information from the ambush didn't get back to their leader, the group made it their highest priority, besides their safety, to prevent the Gnolls from running away and telling. to the leader what was happening, taking advantage of this time to kill as many Gnolls as possible.

During this bloodshed battle, Gabe began to feel the effect that Steele had told him.

Because of the emotion he was feeling and the constant use of the skill, his mastery in controlling the daggers was becoming greater and greater.

At the moment Gabe even had a slight urge to grab another dagger and try to control both at the same time to cut the Gnolls, but he soon gave up on the idea so as not to try to train unnecessary things in a battle as intense as this, where someone could die any time.

What made him even more aware of this was when he looked at Draum, Max and the spear boy, who were already accumulating some injuries on their bodies, who despite protecting as much as possible behind Draum's shield, were still affected by attacks. occasional injuries, leading to small wounds, which although they were so small that they would not kill anyone, when they accumulated they were so many that they became truly dangerous.

That sense of urgency was boosting Gabe's powers in a way he always did with his Players without him even realizing it.
