The bird puppet that carried the silver pigeon of the Merene family brought it towards a small cave nearby where a formation disc was activated. This is a small space gate formation.
It dropped the pigeon on it which disappeared from the spot and reappeared near Sam.
He opened the letter and picked a similar scroll as he imitated the handwriting in the letter and gave some new instructions. He tied it up to his own silver pigeon and sent it through the space gate which then moved towards the target team.
When the first target team looked at the instructions, they immediately implemented everything. They split up and started scouting the area. The musicians and experts in the formations stayed in the spot as they made some preparations while the people with more individual strength split up.
As soon as they split up, Sam gave his orders.
"Vidyut, jump on to the third three to your left. The bird puppet will point in a direction. Distance one thousand meters. Even if you cannot kill the target, you should be able to paralyze him a bit. Target strength is Initial stage Transcendence."
Vidyut jumped to the tree and aimed his arrow, he injected enough energy required for the range and the strength of the target.
"Shoot."
*SWOOSH*
The arrow moved with faint indigo lightning crackles, but very few people even managed to get a glimpse of it as it moved too fast and hit the target.
The outer section Transcendent stage cultivator who is a human was hit by the arrow on his chest as he stood on the tree while taking a look at the surroundings.
The arrow didn't hit the vital because Vidyut couldn't see the target directly because of all kinds of trees and other obstructions.
But the lightning energy is great for paralyzing people, he felt the shock and lost his balance, and started falling down.
"Saber Monarch, get to work there. The target is free-falling."
Sam spoke and Saber Monarch was like a flash as he severed the head of the guy in a single strike.
The head and the body separated and the head crashed into a tree and fell on the ground and Saber Monarch caught the body before it could crash into the ground completely.
He threw the body into the spatial ring and started running towards his spot.
"Gran, use spatial blink and appear twenty-five meters to the left. Vidyut shoots an arrow one thousand meters from the same spot, but a few inches to the left in three seconds."
Gran did as she was told, as soon as she appeared at that spot, she noticed that two Pre-transcendent stage cultivators are scouting on two different spots. But both of them could see her now. They immediately made their way towards her and in the middle met each other.
At this exact moment, an arrow flew through the wind and went through both of them in a flash before hitting a tree behind.
"Gran finish them off and get back to your hiding place.
Saber Monarch, run towards Gran's position.
Vidyut eight hundred meters, paralyzing arrow, a transcendent stage cultivator."
As Gran appeared at that spot, she felt a bit shocked as a transcendent stage cultivator is nearing her. He seemed to have sensed her a few seconds ago and already got ready to attack.
She got ready to escape, but before she could do that, the arrow came, hit the guy and Saber Monarch sent the saber through the heart of the attacker.
They threw the body into the storage and got ready for the next orders.
"Gran and Saber Monarch go straight ahead. Vidyut shoots some flashy arrows at thousand meters. They shouldn't be flashy on the way, only on the point of impact. Attract as much attention as you can."
Three arrows were shot and three of them were lodged into three trees, it almost seemed like they were struck by lightning and got charred instantly.
Three people ran towards that spot.
"Gran and Saber Monarch, run to your left, Gran is stealthy, don't let that back go."
As they ran forward, they began to sense someone with their spiritual sense, but they didn't stop and just proceeded.
As Gran was stealthy, as soon as they are both in range, that person attacked him with his back baring for Gran to stab a dagger towards his heart.
Saber Monarch took the chance and instantly sliced the throat of the guy and also stabbed him from the front.
"Now, both of you move towards the fire from that point and Vidyut shoots an arrow for eight hundred meters, a wide-range attack would be nice. And move a few meters left and change your angle by ten degrees before shooting another one.
Gran and Saber Monarch go for the two spots, the first one for Gran and the remaining for Saber Monarch. Two easy targets. Finish them off and throw their bodies towards the burning trees. Then run to your right where our target group has currently camped."
After doing that, Sam sent another silver pigeon, and this time it was for the Family head.
When he the family head, read it and sent the reply with an anxious expression and also an extra pigeon to a different group, the first pigeon went through the space gate and reached Sam, while he made Vidyut shoot down the second one and got the message, before sending a different message to the second group.
The second group who were closest to the first target group and wanted to go towards the fire stopped in their tracks and opted for a different strategy, as they created a formation.
Meanwhile, the Saber Monarch and Gran reached the camp of the first group, but the first group is not there. They moved towards the fire when they looked at the fire and the dead bodies they were shocked.
They wanted to get some instructions from the Family head, as soon as they reached the spot, they got the pigeon. This pigeon was sent by Sam, as soon as they opened the scroll, a large flash of light covered their eyes, catching them off guard.
Before they could react, Gran and Saber Monarch came out.
There are four opponents at the moment out of which two are musicians which Sam need at the moment and the remaining two are formation masters, which Sam had use for.
They need to be captured, so both Saber Monarch and Gran focused on making their limbs immobile.
They used some special poison Sam gave them which will paralyze their limbs.
They then made them forcefully take some anesthetic and carried them over their shoulders as they moved towards the nearest space gate formation, Sam set up.
While they are moving, Sam shifted his focus to the second group.
"Vidyut change your location, move to three hundred meters, Northeast and stay on a tree.
Paras, Sia and Jwala it is your turn. The group is a bit larger this time than the first group. This is also in the center and can reach out to other groups easily. You need to deal with them carefully and not let anyone escape, they are dangerously close to the remaining groups.
Jwala, get on top of the tree on your left and start throwing projectile flame attacks, they should fall five hundred meters away and your attacks should move left as you continue.
Paras move forward a bit and ready your ax. I need a large attack that could cleave through three people and you should land it as soon as I speak.
Sia, stay with Paras in stealth, any leftovers should be dealt swiftly."
All three of them moved. Jwala threw the fireballs in a projectile fashion.
Three people who got separated from the second group to scout according to the family head's instructions saw the fire coming towards them and moved to the side. As the more fireballs came, the more they moved.
"Paras."
Sam spoke and Paras instantly made a move. The ax which was completely covered with spiritual energy made contact with the ground as he took a huge swing and a large and sharp one was shot from the ax as it cleaved through the forest and hit the three who moved to avoid the fire type attacks.
The first guy was cleaved into two vertically and the remaining two were severely injured.
Sia who hid in the trees threw projectile weapons with poison and finished them off.
They started cleaning them up while Sam ordered.
"Paras, to the northwest run. Attack the Gandharva that comes into your sight in a few seconds.
Vidyut, an arrow nine hundred meters around ten degrees to your left."
Vidyut shot the arrow.
At this moment, a Gandharva who is hiding far away looked at Paras and Sia's attack and was about to escape and inform others, but as soon as he jumped to another tree, he got hit by the arrow on his shoulder which made him fall on the ground and roll around and hit the tree.
Paras who saw him, swung the ask as if he is cutting the tree making his head to be chopped off in a second.
