Entering Alexandre's tent, they stood next to a map, then Alexandre answered Grekorio's question.

"No, i couldn't think of any plan that would help us in this situation.", Alexandre said in tired tone, then turned his head to Grekorio looking at him blankly.

Noticing that look, Grekorio know that he should offer a answer and he only have one chance, which made him think furiously trying to find a solution, then after thinking of anything that he could use to help him, he remembered about the treant's core and said to Alexandre,"What about the undeads, can't we ask for their help?"

Light coming back to his eyes, Alexandre answered,"Yes, we could, but they need some payment if it's neither an urgent situation nor an order from the marshal."

Hearing that a smile spread on Grekorio's face, and spoke calmly,"Then can't we use the treant's core as a compensation?"

Staying silent for a while, Alexandre nodded and said,"Yes, good idea, but how we should do that, the general will not allow that?", as if speaking to himself, he answered his own question,"If i say that it's a warm-up exercise for the soldiers prepare themselves for the mission, he can't deny, and i will talk with a lich on the other side of the barracks while you are collecting the cores, and we meet at the middle pass, there i will say the rest of the plan.", happy with himself, Alexandre stepped outside together with Grekorio.

Outside Alexandre let out a loud shout, gathering all his subordinates attention, and they soon arranged in rows in front of Alexandre, and Grekorio in the middle of rows too.

Seeing the soldiers waiting for his words, Alexandre didn't test their patience and said,"I now have new orders for you. Thanks to the new recruit Grekorio, who gave me a ideia.", pausing in this part, he shouted his next words,"Prepare yourselves, and go hunt some treants!", the soldiers shouted cheerfuly, but Alexandre continued his words, "This time Grekorio will be the leader of this operation, and he will explain exactly what you will be doing. I will be busy so i can't do that. Now. Dismissed!", Alexandre finished his words this time and walked back inside his tent.

After Alexandre exiting the scene all the soldiers turned to Grekorio's direction, Grekorio in turn started to perspire, speaking to break the oppresive atmosphere, he said,"We will scout the way to the middle pass while hunting for treants cores. We will divide in 4 teams of 25 people each, spreading along the forest on the north while making way to the pass.", Grekorio tried to sound as calm and confident as he could.

Finishing what he had to say, he let the soldiers get ready, and opening his inventory Grekorio took out the deep gold greatsword, and put it on his back, with his appeareance of dark elf with a dark skin, white long hair, slim and tall build, with leather armor and a sword bigger than him on his back, giving a mighty aura which made him look strong, Grekorio waited for the soldiers in front of the Alexandre's Tent.

After seeing that everyone has arrived, he started to divide the teams and pointing who's the leader of that squad, after all the 4 teams are formed, one leader lifted his hand and asked Grekorio,"Why aren't you in any teams?"

Grekorio answered calmly,"To be honest, i really don't know a thing about tactics and how to order you, so i left it to you leaders who has more experience than me to do that. Am i doing it wrong?"

The leader replied,"No, sir."

Soldier are reliefed and now respected Grekorio for being honest and not trying to do something that he can't do, that would probably lead to their deaths.

"Okay, now. FOLLOW ME!", Grekorio said, and he and everyone there started to march to the north, walking outside the town through the north gate.

Arriving at the forest, he ordered everyone to spread through the forest and search for anything unusual and hunt for treant's cores, while making their way to the middle pass.

Parting from the soldiers, Grekorio walked in a random direction, on the way while waiting for the treants ambush, he analized every herb that he found on the way and tried to elaborate better the plan about the fight with the wood elves, trying to find a way of how to use the undeads.

Two hours later, after being ambushed a few times, he decided to stop, since he's tired mentally, and check his progess in the quest, so he opened his bag, there are the 50 treant's cores, katana, gladius, a few deep gold ore, his loved throwing knives that saved his life once, and some potions and bandage in emergency cases, since he don't want a repeat from the troll's king fight.

Then opened his status.
