The Reincarnation of the Kingmaker

Chapter 133: Raiding the Mountain Monkey's Lair part 4

The next day.

"Is that where the Goblins are imprisoned?" Friedrich pointed to the huts on top of the trees.

Kayn replied. "Yes,"

"They do look like someone lives in them. But I didn't expect that it would be a bunch of Goblins,"

"It's even more surprising to find out that there are actually other races in 'The Bridge'," Chastine added.

"That's right," Friedrich nodded. "We've been living in 'The Bridge' for nearly ten years now, yet we still haven't found any races other than Humans,"

"To tell you honestly," He looks at Kayn. "If it wasn't you who told us about this, we would never have believed it," After all, they've pretty much searched the entire 'The Bridge' ever since they came here.

But on second thought, considering that they haven't discovered the presence of the Guardian Turtle all this time in the Springwater Canyon, it might very much be possible that they haven't seen everything yet.

"What do you plan to do with the Goblins?" Friedrich can't help asking.

"Until we confirm whether they're hostile or not, we will continue to focus on the main matter," Kayn doesn't want to do anything with the Goblins yet because he hasn't gotten the information that he wanted.

He already understood yesterday that he had asked the wrong Goblin for the information he wanted as it's very clear that the latter barely knows anything.

There should be someone among them that has the information he requires, and he is planning on using the Goblin he had tied yesterday to help him build a relationship with the rest of the imprisoned Goblins.

Kayn expresses his plan. "After we cleaned up all the Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas in this place, I plan to proceed with meeting up with the Goblin's leader to discuss the third floor of the Mountain Monkey's Lair,"

He had changed his mind yesterday after understanding from Friedrich and Chastine that it would be very difficult to fight against the Mountain Gorilla with their current numbers. Forget about sneaking past it, he might not even be able to afford to get distracted and pull a quick steal on the Mountain Heart Flower.

However, there might be a chance with the help of the Goblins.

"Are you sure that we can trust them?" Friedrich is still doubtful of the plausibility of Kayn's plan. Even though there are cases where inhabitants of the 'Tower' cooperated with Humans and went as far as establishing an alliance with them, he had heard that it was very difficult to achieve it. So difficult that they could only get a certain group to be their ally and not the entirety of their race. Moreover, eight out of ten of them would still betray the Human race.

"That's the reason why I want to have a conversation with them first," Kayn can't help rolling his eyes at Friedrich.

"I am just suspicious," Friedrich smiled helplessly.

"Anyways, let's proceed with your strategy," Kayn changed the topic.

"Understand," Friedrich started allocating each member their assigned task. "Just like what we discussed yesterday,"

Countless nets that they've tied yesterday using vines that Jude, Kimberly, and Cyril had created using magic spells piled on the corner beside them.

Since it was still early in the morning and moreover there are no more Mountain Monkeys to cause any noise on the first floor, the rest of the monsters on the second floor continued soundly sleeping in their respective holes.

Grabbing one net each, Kayn and the others immediately started covering each hole on the ground with nets to block the way out for the Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas.

Meanwhile, Jude, Kimberly, and Cyril started locking them to the ground using various kinds of magic spells. At the same time, they constructed some walls around the holes that weren't covered with nets for later on.

As there were so many holes in the ground and not enough nets, they could only cover around half of the holes around the second floor. It was more than enough though.

"All done," Gilbert reported.

"Let's proceed to the next part," Friedrich nodded at Kayn, Jude, and Charles.

The trio immediately waves their hands, instantly taking out dozens of Springwater Source Bonsai.

"So, these were the source of springwater in the Springwater Canyon," Gilbert felt amazed.

"They're beautiful," Chastine and Kimberly said at the same time.

It is indeed true that the Springwater Source Bonsai are beautiful plants. However, they are dangerous if one uses them correctly.

That's exactly what's about to happen right now.

The instant the dozens of Springwater Source Bonsai were planted on the ground, water started to be produced from their respective bodies. And because there are a lot of them, the water soon flowed toward the direction of holes in the ground.

All the Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas were completely oblivious to the current event. Even though some drops of water started dropping onto their body, they didn't mind it as they don't want to be disturbed in their slumber.

Without them realizing it, the water begins to flood their homes. As they continued to sleep, the water similarly continued to rise higher and higher.

When they finally started noticing the strange situation around them, some of the Mountain Monkeys already drowned to death in their sleep.

As expected, the surviving monsters immediately tried to escape. But because the water flowed all around the hole, it made the surroundings slippery and difficult to grip onto the wall, thus they have trouble trying to climb their way out.

Moreover, the vines also hinder those that have already reached the top from getting out of their holes.

"You may begin," Friedrich muttered.

Kayn and the others are hovering mid-air with the help of Jude, Kimberly, and Cyril, as they watch how the situation is going to play out. But as soon as Friedrich sent out his order, Kayn and the others immediately started dropping to the ground one by one.

Upon landing on the ground, they didn't hesitate and quickly started cutting the fingers of the Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas hanging on the vines so that they would fall back.

Cries of pain and agony echoed as they fall to the water in their holes.

Unfortunately, no matter how loud they shout, no one would be able to hear them because Jude, Kimberly, and Cyril had covered their holes with an insulation spell that prevents any sound from escaping.

Because the Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas specifically received a cut on their fingers, it further added more difficulty in climbing out from the holes.

With no other choice left, some of the Earth Gorillas finally decided to use their Gifts and ability.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Regretfully for them, the nets were infused with mana. So, it was impossible to easily cut through them. And the flowing water also lessens the strength of their Gifts and abilities because water mana could neutralize to some degree most earth-related magic spells.

Sometime later, the nearby area around the Springwater Source Bosai finally started to flood. As a result, the flow of water going through the holes became stronger and stronger.

With no possibility of escaping, all Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas eventually drowned to their deaths.

"You can open the walls,"

The next target was those holes that were covered by walls to prevent any water from getting into them.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A series of explosions sounded as all walls exploded at the same time.

Whashhhhh!

Strong water current directly flushed to all the remaining holes.

Because of the sudden creation of holes, small whirlpools were slowly being created. The whirlpools started merging with the other nearby whirlpools to create a much bigger size as the water continued to rise higher and higher.

"Fire!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

A series of fireballs shot toward the inside of the holes around the wall and on the ceiling.

In the next moment, countless of Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas started falling into the water and instantly got swooped away by the current of the whirlpools.

They screamed to ask for help, but it was futile and instead it only caused them to drown a lot quicker as water easily got through their mouths.

Those Mountain Monkeys and Earth Gorillas that lived in the holes around the walls were quite lucky though because they don't have to fall into the water and could just remain in their holes and watch as the others slowly drown.

However, it wouldn't be for long...

There are three sides, the left, right, and back. As for the center, that's the entrance to the third floor of the Mountain Monkey's Lair, so there are no holes over that side.

Coincidentally, there are three squads as well. The first squad and the second squad of the Green Horn Knights, and Jude's party.

"We'll take care of the right," Friedrich volunteered.

"Our squad will go left," Chastine followed.

"I guess we'll take care of the back side," Jude muttered.

There were more holes in both the left and the right side, so it was honestly reasonable why Friedrich and Chastine left the back side to Jude's party which only has four members, Gilbert volunteered to join them as he is still tasked to protect Kayn.

"Do you seriously not need a healer?" Chastine felt worried.

"We have a lot of healing potions in our Storage Rings," Jude assured. They have gone shopping the last time in Sea Spring Village, so they have a lot of materials in their Storage Rings to spare. "And besides, it's not like we are too far away from one another. If we really need your help, we'd just run to your side immediately,"

"Alright," Chastine could only trust them.

With that being said, the last plan to clear the second floor began.
