My Reincarnation as a Chicken
Chapter 177 Intermission - Attack From The Fenrir ClanA large white wolf slept peacefully under the afternoon sun. Gently, her body moved up and down as her breathing stabilised. The previous night had been an arduous one, not to mention the days before. That no-good general that Hinotori had chosen, Arisu, was a complete menace. She had started mobilising all of Hinotori’s minions to go out and attack horned rabbits.
At first, everyone simply assumed it was her own way of saying they should hunt those for food supplies, so they decided to do it in their own time.
Unbeknownst to everyone, Arisu was really adamant on the topic of hunting down the rabbits. She punished those who refused to go by using the special skill [Absolute Command] on them and forcing them to do as she bid. As someone who has experienced the pain caused by the skill first-hand, Shiroi couldn’t help but feel infuriated by Arisu’s wickedness.
She would have tried to attack Arisu on her own. The power gap between the two wasn’t as big as it was before her evolution, so she was certain as of now, she would be more than enough to cause trouble for her. Unfortunately, something else came up.
A way more serious issue than Arisu simply abusing her abilities. There had been signs of other Timber wolf clans trying to invade their territory for a while now. Shiroi had kept it on the low because she didn’t want to create any trouble for her master. At first, it started out as the number of available preys reducing. Next, it was the sighting of wolves slowly encroaching, but they usually ran away when sighted.
However, this time, they had the audacity to challenge one of her own!
One timber wolf was out searching for prey the previous night when he was attacked by two Elecza wolves and one Timberwolf from a different clan. Judging from their method of deciding to overpower him with numbers, Shiroi could deduce their opponent clan.
They were from the Fenrir Clan. A weird name they gave to themselves, but it was a clan formed from the union of three different wolf species. The Timberwolves, Elecza wolves and Treants. This unnatural union was formed a year ago. It started out as one of the weakest clans, but it birthed a new leader. This new leader boasted abnormal wisdom and skill, managing to completely turn around the dire state of that clan.
According to Shiroi’s father, his encounter with this new leader was mind opening. Sure, the leader was not as strong as himself, but the leader had potential. He had a massive amount of room to grow, as well as enough leadership abilities to promote his clan. However, there was one issue her father had with that timberwolf. His goals were too idealistic.
He never really explained what he meant by that, but Shiroi could take it that this new leader had a naiveté to his methods. Once she discovered what this was, she could use it to her advantage.
Currently, she had sent a recon team out to go invade into enemy territory. She had sent out both of her mist wolves as well, seeing as they functioned as a sort of recollection group to her as well. All information they picked up on, except for what could possibly cause her harm, was sent back to her at her command or when the mist wolves were destroyed.
The only drawback to this was that it took quite a bit of processing power for her to be able to receive real-time information from both mist wolves. That was why she was currently lying down on the ground. It made her appear to be sleeping and lazying about as regular Timberwolves did during the day.
It had been hours since she sent them off, and there had been no sign of the enemy.
She would persist. Surely, the other wolves she sent on this covert mission were also tired, but they hadn’t stopped searching. As their leader, she had to show the same kind of resolve, or she was no better than a useless ruler.
Finally, they managed to find some elecza and Timberwolves. The elecza wolves were fast, darting at the Shiroi’s wolves. However, Shiroi’s wolves hadn’t been joking around the past few days. They too had been training arduously, even before the massive attack on the west. Silently, they would dive into the dungeons and strike, hurriedly, voraciously and mercilessly. They decided to not waste the opportunity given to them by their new leader, so they grew.
Some of them were on the verge of evolving. And the best of the best were the ones Shiroi had sent on this mission.
Easily, they blocked the Elecza wolves attack and started their own counterattack. Sure, they were outnumbered, but with their sheer power, they managed to overwhelm their opponents. Shiroi had given explicit orders not to kill this time around, seeing as she had her own theory as to what their leader’s naiveté was.
They tried getting the wolves talking, but none of them spoke. After a bit of time, Shiroi decided that the best option was to recover those wolves and use them as a sort of bargaining chip. No matter how vicious a wolf was, the most important value that was pounded into their heads from birth was family.
This was a sort of bait then.
However, just as soon as her wolves were about to return, they were attacked by treants. They came out from trees, used the plants to their advantages to capture Shiroi’s wolves. Sure, her wolves were stronger and managed to break free, but the treants managed to escape with the Timberwolves. Unsure as to whether to pursue them Shiroi ended up wasting time.
Hastily, one of her wolves chased after them, but it was revealed to be a trap for them. All her wolves were captured, including her mist wolves. She was alarmed, because it seemed like her wolves were about to be killed.
Strangely enough, the enemy was arguing on whether to kill them.
That was it. Shiroi had found out her opponent’s weakness. She left her mist wolves on their automatic mode. They would simply go with the flow till they received any extra orders from her.
Slowly, she stood up and shook her body. It was the day and her wolves were sleeping. She wouldn’t disturb them for now. Once she had more information on her enemy’s home, she would strike with the necessary reinforcements. If possible, she would send a request to Hinotori for help.
No… her master was going through an important moment. She couldn’t disturb her now. The best to do with Hinotori was see how she would develop over the next few days. Whether she was fit to lead the Timberwolves or if the Timberwolves needed to part ways from her.
Her mind went back to Hinotori’s question.
What was Shiroi’s Honour? Well, the first thing to come to mind was her family. But she thought over it more and more after her brother’s death. What was her true honour? She wasn’t sure, but she hoped Hinotori would come back to normal and help her figure that out.
For now, she would take care of this issue.
