Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes
Chapter 104: Raise Intelligence

Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Raise Intelligence

"See that big rock by the side of the road? Nya and I will set up a remote-controlled magic trap there, which will be detonated when the transport team passes by.

At that moment, Nya will cast powerful magic here to draw the attention of the enemy mages.

I will cast Flying Skill, Confusion Technique, and Neglect Skill on you, and at the same time, our five pre-prepared high-level illusions will charge at the convoy from five different directions, drawing away some of their firepower.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the kitten will quietly use Shadow Jump to approach the transport vehicles and check the goods they are carrying.

The rest of you will target the ’elite monsters’ in the team, quickly focus fire to take one down and grab its loot."

"This task requires us to take on monsters above our rank, so make sure to prepare well. Use consumables like Alchemy Potions and Elemental Sword Oil. Have your life-saving one-time Mysterious Objects and Magic Scrolls ready, if you have them."

"In summary, that’s roughly the situation and the plan. Does anybody have any questions?"

After a brief explanation of his investigation and the ambush plan, the Last Dragon Descendant looked at the few professional players and asked once more.

"Are you sure setting up such a complicated plan is worthwhile, Dragon Descendant? Why don’t we just charge in, catch them off guard, snatch the stuff and run?"

The one speaking was a Dwarf player with the ID [White Light Esports - Gold Silver Copper Aluminum], who was tapping a rock underfoot with his war hammer, looking slightly irked as he tilted his face up to question the Elf in front of him.

"Mr. Copper Aluminum, if only you had invested even a little bit in your Intelligence Attribute Points, you wouldn’t be asking such a question."

The Elf glanced at the Dwarf out of the corner of his eye, his expression indifferent.

Thinking of challenging my authority just because I’m not currently the captain?

"Of course, a warrior’s Attribute Points are always distributed into Strength, Stamina, Endurance, which I can understand.

Let me explain, for starters, a Mercenary Group capable of accepting such a remote mission must be strong and have rich escorting experience.

With our current level, a direct charge against the team has a very low success rate.

Furthermore, in this fantasy world, aside from bulk materials. Those most precious rare items, as well as contraband that needs to be smuggled, are all transported through Space Items.

But large Space Items are regulated goods. Even if they occasionally leak into the black market, their cost is beyond what a Mercenary Group can afford.

Therefore, Spatial Bags, which only have half a cubic meter of internal space, don’t change the weight of the contents but are cheaper, become the preferred choice.

For safety, those Spatial Bags are likely carried by the stronger members of the team.

I’m having the kitten check the car’s cargo just in case."

Having said that, the Elf looked at the Dwarf with a pitying gaze and lightly patted his shoulder.

Whoa, still wearing Green Equipment for a helmet.

"Don’t worry, the part you are responsible for is the same as you said, you just need to swing your Dwarf war hammer and Wraaaaaa—go bash the enemy’s knees."

"[Beep—]! Stop bringing up my height!"

As the Elf spoke with a bit of a mocking tone, Gold Silver Copper Aluminum’s face turned red, and he loudly voiced his complaint.

Due to coveting the high Stamina and Endurance racial attribute bonuses of Dwarves, Gold Silver Copper Aluminum often regretted his choice after entering the game, especially in circumstances like these.

"Hmm?"

The Elf cast a sideways glance at the Dwarf, then took a step back in mock surprise, speaking in an exaggerated tone.

"Oh, my goodness! You’re so tall—"

"Pfft—"

The expressions of the people nearby suddenly turned a bit odd, and the Half-Cat Thief girl even laughed out loud unintentionally, but noticing the Dwarf’s complexion, she quickly covered her mouth.

"You’re wasting your talent by not being a MT! You damned pointy... dude!"

The Dwarf’s beard twitched twice, struggling to resist the urge to smash this damn Elf’s knees with a warhammer.

Fortunately, he held back at the crucial moment, managing not to offend the other three pointy-eared teammates.

On their way to the ambush site, while no one was looking, the Dwarf sneakily pulled up a panel and carefully allocated a point into Intelligence.

......

As the time quickly approached evening, several Professional Players lay in ambush on a small knoll near the trade route. It was covered with dense primitive forestation, making it highly concealed.

This place was only about a day’s journey from Manerqin Castle, and thanks to the regular sweeps of the White Rose Army, there were no bandits in the vicinity, saving the players a lot of trouble.

The shapely Half-Elf Ranger beauty perched on the top of an old, sturdy tree, her azure blue eyes bestowed with the Eagle Eye Technique, staring unblinkingly at the dirt road far away from the station.

She was cloaked in a garment that closely resembled the leaves, blending in and out of the emerald greenery. Without close scrutiny, it was nearly impossible to distinguish her from the surrounding environment.

Tiramisu: "So boring, have they still not shown up?"

Contrary to the quiet atmosphere of the jungle, inside the "Squad Temporary Channel," constructed by a mind-link among the players, it was bustling with activity.

The Half-Catgirl Thief player with the ID [White Light Esports—Tiramisu] complained, and although lying in wait before a mission was routine for her, this didn’t mean she enjoyed the waiting.

Bunny Princess: "Come on, Kitty, you’re a professional player, be patient."

[White Light Esports—Bunny Princess] typed, she is the shapely Half-Elf Ranger beauty crouched in the trees, and despite her hot appearance, her personality is actually very gentle.

Whenever the Thief girl complained, she would always soothe her gently like this.

After typing, she also sent a comforting emoticon.

Tiramisu: "Bunny sis is the best! [Smiley Face]"

The Cat-ear girl sent a smiley face, then started grumbling about the other teammates again.

Tiramisu: "Seeing a cute girl complaining about being bored, and you guys have no reaction, you’re not going to get girlfriends like that!"

Nya Latotip: "..."

Gold Silver Copper Aluminum: "..."

The many male players present were already well aware of Tiramisu’s personality and responded to her comments by rolling their eyes and perfunctorily sending a few dots in reply.

Sharp Sword: "A woman, will only affect the speed of my sword drawing—"

It was only [White Light Esports—Sharp Sword], the Elf Minstrel with the lute on his back, who showed up in chat.

Tiramisu: "But you’re a Minstrel right now, right? If you’re drawing anything, it’s your flute!"

Sharp Sword: "Heh, would you like to taste my sword personally?"

Tiramisu: "Hmm? Are you sure? I’m worried that it will only damage your fragile instrument!"

Last Dragon Descendant: "FBI WARRING!"

Tiramisu: "It’s FBI WARNING!"

Nya Latotip: "I just thought of a question, since there’s teleportation magic in this world, why don’t they transport via teleportation arrays, but instead opt for ordinary mercenary groups for escort?"

Last Dragon Descendant: "Not sure, but my guess is there must be some special restrictions, like excessive consumption or something."

Bunny Princess: "Wait, something’s happening—"

Before anyone could reply further, Bunny Princess suddenly saw a long procession appearing from the end of the dirt road.
