Chapter 50: Capturing the Unicorns

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Capturing the Unicorns

The operation began quickly.

Three days later, according to the intelligence, it was time for the unicorns to come out for food again. At this moment, a large number of knights assembled in the Eagle Territory, and this time he even called back Steve from the mines.

After all, among the unicorns, there was a Tier Two Peak unicorn leader. Without Steve, relying solely on a dozen Official Knights to capture it would be too difficult.

Only with Steve could they be confident enough.

Morning.

A large procession set out.

This time, they mobilized one Great Knight, fifteen Official Knights, over thirty Apprentice Knights, and more than a hundred Preparatory Knights.

It could be said that this was almost the majority of Eagle Ridge’s current strength.

Under Thor’s leadership, they soon arrived upstream of the Maine River Valley, which was where the unicorns were feeding that day.

From afar, the group saw twenty or thirty unicorns grazing on the lush water grass.

Most unicorns are Tier One Magical Beasts, only the unicorn leader can reach Tier Two. Their speed is very fast, a Tier One unicorn’s speed is on par with an average Tier Two Magical Beast, and a Tier Two unicorn’s speed exceeds most Tier Three Magical Beasts. In the entire Northern Province, they are also one of the most common magical beasts.

Moreover, due to their speed, most are kept by the Minotaurs.

Similarly, they are also one of the Northern Nobility’s favorite magical beasts to raise.

It’s rumored that under Marquis Reman’s command, there’s a regiment of three hundred unicorn knights.

Thor had long noticed this group of unicorns.

But magical beasts cannot be bred without specialized personnel.

Thor had no choice but to give up.

Until this journey to Loren City, gaining Allen with "Affinity for All Things," Thor had new ideas.

"Reine, pour Molten Fire Oil around the area!"

"Steve, once the flames rise, you go first to catch that unicorn leader. If we can take it down, the rest will be much easier."

Thor whispered orders, quickly giving commands.

On how to capture this group of unicorns, Thor naturally had a detailed plan over these days.

Although unicorns are weak, their speed is fast. Normally, a Tier One unicorn is faster than a normal Tier Two Magical Beast, and a Tier Two unicorn’s speed almost matches a Tier Three Magical Beast. At such speed, even if there were ten Great Knights, they might not be able to capture these unicorns.

But that’s in normal circumstances.

Unicorns have a fatal weakness, or rather an uncontracted unicorn has a fatal weakness, which is fear of fire.

Fire makes unicorns panic and hesitate.

He only needs to cover the surroundings with fire, and this group of unicorns won’t be able to escape.

Now, with this strength, capturing these dozens of unicorns shouldn’t be too big of a problem.

Thor quickly gave orders, and Reine began to take swift action.

With over a hundred Preparatory Knights, they started pouring Molten Fire Oil.

There was quite a lot left from the previous war, and Rajos Assad’s visit had brought even more Molten Fire Oil.

It was the perfect time to use it.

A large amount of Molten Fire Oil was poured onto the grass.

Due to the considerable distance, the group of unicorns didn’t pay much attention.

Time slowly passed.

Soon, half an hour went by.

A huge semi-arc shape appeared along where the unicorns were.

A large amount of Molten Fire Oil was poured onto it.

Seeing from afar when Reine raised his hand.

"Do it!"

Thor spoke in a low voice.

In the next moment, the fire directly ignited the Molten Fire Oil.

The Molten Fire Oil quickly ignited and started spreading around.

On the other side, others also ignited the Molten Fire Oil in their locations.

"Boom!"

A sea of fire surged, with massive waves of flame reaching three to four meters high.

At this moment, the unicorns finally sensed something was wrong.

"Chirp!"

The unicorn leader, in panic, had magic elements flowing at its feet, trying to flee, but the sea of fire enveloping them put it in extreme distress.

The rest of the unicorns were equally the same at this moment.

Thor waved his hand.

One by one, the Official Knights, including Steve, and the Apprentice Knights rushed toward the unicorns.

One after another ropes for catching horses were thrown.

"Thump Thump!"

Sounds arose, and unicorns were quickly ensnared by the ropes.

Feeling their necks being constricted, the unicorns panicked even more.

Especially the unicorn leader, with magic elements surging at its feet and wind elements rapidly gathering. It was about to turn into a beam of light, but seeing the fire reflected in its eyes made it pause briefly.

But that brief pause was enough for a rope to loop around its neck.

Its body fiercely struggled.

Yet Steve unleashed his Life Source Power, tightly controlling the rope.

The horses galloped, and at points, Life Source Power erupted.

Soon, several Tier One unicorns couldn’t hold on and collapsed with a crash.

One by one, knights swiftly stepped forward, binding the unicorns together.

Once it started, more and more unicorns followed, falling one after another.

In the end, only that Tier Two Peak unicorn leader remained.

Everyone watched tensely.

Even Thor was the same.

The group of unicorns was important.

But the unicorn leader was also important.

This was a Tier Two Peak unicorn leader.

If it could advance to Tier Three, then his safety in the Northern Province would no longer be an issue.

This couldn’t help but make him nervous.

And that unicorn leader continued to run wildly with Steve.

However, due to the presence of the sea of fire, which kept shrinking, the terror in the unicorn leader’s eyes grew more significant, and its movements gradually slowed.

Finally.

After another half hour of endurance.

"Boom!"

The unicorn leader crashed down to the ground.

Steve, who had been pulling, finally breathed a sigh of relief, not caring about his exhausted Life Source Power, swiftly moving forward to bind it.

At this moment, all the unicorns had been captured.

Thor was also completely relieved.

With a wave of his hand.

Everyone started quickly extinguishing the flames.

Half an hour later.

The sea of fire disappeared.

Everyone’s faces couldn’t help but reveal smiles.

Thor was the same.

For they had captured twenty-three unicorns in total.

Among them was a Tier Two Peak unicorn leader.

This was undoubtedly a huge gain.

Especially these unicorns, which they could exchange in the future.

If they could ride a unicorn, even thinking about it made them excited.
