Chapter 628: 628

Head commander Edi stopped grimacing, but he knew the battle today won’t be easy . Looking at the current conditions, the orcs seemed very confident .

The drum sound had been going off for a while, but the orcs still had not appeared . Where were they waiting for?

The orc battle drum sound continued . Perhaps the orcs knew that their battle drum needed a bit of time to come to full effect, so they did not appear immediately .

Although he had his attention focused on the drum sound while helping everyone clear their curse, he kept analyzing the direction and distance the drum sound was coming from .

Those orc battle drum sounds had a strange, mysterious effect that made its location very hard to predict .

However, to Abel, this just meant a little extra time . Soon, he had tracked down the location of the orcs . The drum sound was around 5 miles from them .

He took out his telescope from his portal bag and looked towards that direction .

Even though the sky was dark, he could clearly see a group of orcs gathering on a little hill through the crystal lenses . A team of them were guarding a giant battle drum, and 2 especially burly ones were banging on it with all their might .

“Head Commander Edi, I’ll go destroy the drum!” Abel turned and said .

“K3516, you know the location?” Head Commander Edi knew how important it was to destroy the battle drum, but he also knew it was very hard to track it down–especially under a dark sky like this .

He then gazed at Abel’s telescope . It seemed like Abel had only gotten his confidence after looking at that thing .

“Have a look yourself!” Said Abel as he handed the telescope to head commander Edi .

Head Commander Edi followed Abel’s instructions and saw the orcs and their drum on a hill through the lenses .

“This thing is amazing! This way, our patrols don’t even need to approach our enemy, and we can spot them in a battle . This can save a lot of risks!” Head Commander Edi complimented .

As a knight guarding the Miracle Wall, the first thing he thought about was how useful this telescope could be . It didn’t matter if they failed this mission or battle . He could gain those war glory back anyway .

However, not the telescope . It had the potential to completely change their battle tactic, and it would be extremely useful for a commander .

“Head commander Edi, I can provide the formula for how to make these things to the Miracle City after the mission finishes!” Abel was not expecting Head Commander Edi to care about a telescope so much . If the sky wasn’t so dark, Abel wouldn’t even remember he had a telescope .

The range of his sight by that point was far superior to any normal humans . In bright daylight, his long range sight was just a little weaker than a telescope, so a telescope was basically useless to him .

“I thank you on behalf of Miracle City . I didn’t expect you to be an alchemist as well!” Said Head commander Edi in excitement .

No one on the spot knew how a telescope works, so the first that came to mind was that it was an alchemy object . Well, it was not completely wrong . This world also had microscopes, but they were all made by alchemists .

Head commander Edi’s unintentional comment was also spot on . Abel really was an alchemist, but he was the one that made the potions .

“I am a member of the Miracle City as well . You can keep the telescope as a gift . I’ll get going now . Ill give that orc battle drum a good beating!” Said Abel waving his hand .

“Mr . Wizard k3516, let me go with you!” Head Commander Bodley added .

“No need, my mount is faster . It will save us a lot of time!” Abel said it so easily like he wouldn’t need any time to kill the orcs .

This vast amount of confidence boosted everyone’s energy at an instant . Especially after just being dragged down by the curse .

Abel disconnected his power of the will with everyone and dashed out on his mount wolf king . He speeded straight towards that hill .

After a few hundred meters, an idea suddenly felt his heart dropped . Immediately, a cape appeared on him . It was the invincible cape he got from the old assassin .

Abel put on the hood of the invincible cape . It’s head loop automation tightened on his head . Although the cape did not come into effect as he was moving, what Abel really wanted was the head loop .

His power of the will immediately increase from 240 points to 480 points . This was the power of the head loop . Now his power of the will had the range of 480 meters as opposed to 240 meters .

There were 2 types of wizard spells . One was to ignite the spell through the power of the will . Due to a wizard’s limited power of the will, this method could not be used to attack faraway objects . But the benefit was clear; it could maximize accuracy, making your enemy very hard to escape .

The other type of spell was like shooting an arrow . Just cast the spell, and let it fly on its own . You could only control the direction you wanted the spell to land, but its range was much further . Normally low ranking spells were extremely slow, so it really depended on luck if a spell could land properly .

Abel’s intuition had just warned him, the orcs on that hill might actually have the ability to threaten him .

He had been practicing his intuition ever since he was an elite knight . Also, by being in a place full of threats such as the Dark World, his intuition had gotten some very good training .

He could understand the level of danger coming from his intuition . This was why he had put on the invincible cape to strengthen his power of the will .

480 meters was even further than the range of his Riphook . This way, he could have a better understanding of the threat so he could come up with a better response .

5 miles was like nothing on a mount wolf king . Soon Abel saw 2 bearmans holding giant shields . They did not have any weapons and seemed like they were trained specifically for defense .

There were 4 head wolf rider captains at the back . They knew this at first sight because their combat qi was sparkling in a unique glow .

There were also 4 black cloaked orc priests behind them . Although Abel couldn’t see their faces, he knew their identity just by looking at their clothes .

There was a massive battle drum made out of white bones at the very back . 2 muscular wolf riders without mounts were banging on it with 2 drumsticks made out of bones .

This was a little team of 10, but their fighting power should not be underestimated just by looking at the ones who were guarding the drum . At least Abel’s intuition would agree .

At that moment, the orcs saw Abel . Their mission was to protect the battle drum, so they were caught off guard a little when they saw a single man charging towards them . If they knew where the battle drum was, there was no way the human would just send out a single wizard .

However, they still did not disregard him . A head wolf rider captain took out a piccolo made out of bone and blew on it . An ear piercing sound scattered through the night .

“Not good, they are summoning more orcs!” Abel thought to himself as he took out the Leaf magic staff . By the time he reached 480 meters, a fireball had flown out .

If he didn’t have this mysterious head loop, there was no way his fireball could shoot this far .

Normally most wizards would only cast a spell within their power of the will range unless the spell itself could break the range of their power of the will .

However, since most spells Abel could do were beyond the range of his power of the will, he had to increase his power of the will as well . Just like the fireball that just flew out .

Normally a fireball could only fly for 200 meters . Abel’s normal power of the will was 240 meters, which meant his fireball could fly for 240 meters at most .
