In such an easy way, Leo and Cassandra were able to successfully catch a total of 30 Nature Minions, specifically one is a 3 Star Nature Minion, three are 2 Star Nature Minions, five are 1 Star Nature Minions, while the rest is No Star Nature Minions.

Cassandra turned to look at Leo and asked, "Let's bring our catch back to base?"

"I guess this is enough for today," Leo replied.

Because there were a lot of Nature Minions here for them to bring, they called out some nearby members first to help them carry all of them.

In total, Leo and Cassandra were able to catch 33 Magical Beasts, including 30 Nature Minions, 2 Whipping Vine Bunnies, and a Breeze Lizard.

A lot of the members were really shocked after hearing that they have caught a total of 33 Magical Beasts, but as soon as they found out that 30 of those were actually just Nature Minions, they quickly understood the reason why and didn't become shocked anymore.

Honestly, the majority of the catch of the other members was also Nature Minions. The only difference between them and Leo and Cassandra is the fact that they didn't spend a lot of time capturing the Nature Minions by allowing them to sabotage their own kind.

Apparently, they just found out today that the Nature Minions are actually almost everywhere in the surrounding area nearby their base. It's a bit surprising because Elvis didn't report to them such a finding.

Well, considering that the Nature Minions aren't really notable Magical Beasts, they could understand the reason why Elvis didn't bother about them. Even a No Star Mage could catch a 1 Star Nature Minion, thus they aren't really that dangerous. In fact, the attack of a No Star Nature Minion doesn't even hurt that much, it's just like they are being hit by a pebble thrown by a kid.

Nevertheless, they still shouldn't underestimate the Nature Minions because once they are surrounded by a lot of them, they could still prove to be a dangerous Magical Beast.

Before night came, everyone was able to clear out the surrounding 50 meters distance from the base and had installed plenty of traps around.

The area that they have cleared is not really a huge area, but that's just because of their unfamiliarity with the surroundings and that they weren't able to cover a lot of areas yet due to some people staying back in the base.

Charlotte and Elvis' Savage Fox Slayer team has also returned, bringing with them 17 Savage Foxes.

Shockingly, the Savage Foxes they have caught were actually only a quarter of all the Savage Foxes they have found in the north, meaning to say there are 60 to 70 Savage Foxes over there.

Such information really made a lot of them to feel a bit afraid, especially the members of the Alpha Lion team. If Leo didn't issue a retreat order, then they'd be the one to certainly face all of those 60 to 70 Savage Foxes.

A few of the members that have returned from capturing the Savage Foxes were wounded, though the majority of them only received a small injury that can be healed in just a matter of a single day, with only a single member that got seriously injured after unexpectedly being surrounded by a group of Savage Foxes during his scouting. In the end, that person was rescued by Elvis as he was one of his men.

"So far, everything is proceeding smoothly," Charlotte reported to Leo.

"How was the investigation? Did you find anything strange?" Leo asked.

"Yes, we have indeed found one, or to be more exact, we found two," Elvis nodded his head. He then continued, "Just like what we have expected, the Savage Foxes are now preparing to do something,"

"The moment we arrived over there, we immediately saw that all of the Savage Foxes are currently returning back to the east. They should already know that we have found out about their plans, that's why they are returning home,"

"Most likely," Leo nodded his head in agreement.

"And aside from that, we also found a few Savage Foxes returning from the direction of the remaining Green Fur Ape tribes," Elvis reported his team's discovery.

"Then it seems like the worst-case scenario that we have expected is going to happen," Leo put his hand on his forehead while shaking his head. He really doesn't like the Magical Beast tribes cooperating with each other as this simply means a lot of trouble for them.

"Begin strengthening our defense in the base and put all the Magical Beasts we have caught inside the three Green Eagle Flyingboats to prepare for an emergency retreat. If worst really comes, then we have no other choice left but to leave this place ahead of time in order to avoid casualties," Leo informed everyone of his decision. He added, "In the meantime, continue capturing as many Savage Foxes as possible. If possible, go and steal some Savage Fox's eggs so that we can tame some of them once we returned. In such a way, we can study more of their characteristics and behavior, which should allow us to avoid similar dangers in the future,"

"About that, wouldn't that be dangerous?" Elvis can't help asking.

"It would indeed be dangerous, but we have a 9 Star Battle Mage and a 9 Star Mage here," Leo said while looking at Charlotte and Chief Lago, "Their strength should be enough to steal a Savage Fox's egg, right?"

"Well, if Elvis can provide us with more information about the Savage Foxes, then we might just be able to increase the chances of stealing a Savage Fox's egg," Charlotte said.

"But you see, we just need more information," Leo said with a smile on his face.

"Sorry..." Elvis said apologetically.

"As we don't know yet on what direction the Savage Foxes would appear tomorrow, the Savage Fox Slayer team would just go towards both the west and east location. If they appeared on the west, all of you will focus on the west, but if they don't appear in that location, then all of you would focus on the east, put pressure on them as much as possible so that even if the Magical Beast tribes in the surrounding area cooperate together to attack our base, the side of the Savage Foxes wouldn't be able to lend a hand, thus allowing us to focus our defense on the north, west, and south,"

"Alright!"

"I agree!"

"As long as we can catch more Savage Foxes, I'm okay with that,"

"....."

"Anyways," Leo grabbed a stick by the side of the table as he pointed it at the place outside of the 50 meters and dragged it farther away, "We should start expanding to 200 meters tomorrow so that we will have enough space to set up a lot of traps and be prepared the moment the Magical Beast tribes attack our base. Once we accomplish that, then I'm confident to say that our success rate of winning the fight would increase by 10%,"

"Right now, what is the chance of us winning?" Cassandra can't help asking.

"1%," Leo didn't hesitate to reply.

"Just like what I've expected,"

With Leo's extreme cautiousness, it's not strange for him to say that they will only have a 1% chance of winning the fight against the Magical Beast tribes of this Green Area. In fact, it would be strange if he had actually said that they have more than 1% chance?

"In total, we will be able to have an 11% chance of winning the fight once we finished clearing the 200 meters area from our base," Leo clarified. He then continued, "We have no time to miss, meeting dismissed,"

With that being said, the meeting was immediately dismissed.

All the Executives quickly went to their teams to inform them of the result of the meeting.

In the next moment, some people stopped resting as they proceeded to strengthen the surrounding wall of the base.

The thick wooden wall was slowly being replaced into a stone brick wall by the Mages using Earth Wall spell. A few of them also prepared some improvised war weapons, like a wooden catapult and a slingshot by simply using vines and woods. They put all of those improvised war weapons on top of the walls and prepared some small rocks by the side that will be launched to attack the Magical Beasts.

At the same time, a few Mages also dug a deep pit around the wall and casted some water-related Magic spells beneath them. In such a way, climbing up the walls of their base would become a difficult task for the Magical Beasts.

A thick wooden gate was also built so that the Magical Beasts wouldn't be able to easily get inside the base. Also, they built a wooden bridge to cross to the base that can be lifted up, in such a way they could cause more trouble for the Magical Beasts to cross towards their base.

As they obviously can't finish everything today, Leo told everyone to take a rest and began eating their dinner.

Because they have done a lot of things today, Leo reminded the chefs to cook a lot more of food so that everyone would be able to have enough to fill up their stomachs, thus allowing them to recuperate the lost energy and stamina, and prepare for the next day. After all, they would be doing a lot of things tomorrow.

When that was all over, the people who were not in-charged to guard for the night quickly went to sleep.
