Smoke pulled out 3 poison pellets from his bag and crushed them. He then threw them inside his quiver of arrows on his back. He wanted to try out his new arrows, sniping out the virile lizards that were further away from the Condortlians.

The virile lizards life bar indicated that it had a total HP of (3,216/16,000) The poison damage didn't give us much damage as the fire arrows which were a weakness to the plant monsters. However it did leave an after effect of continued poison damage.
Smoke picked another virile lizard as his target and executed 8 swift shots with an average of 1800 damage each. He continued the same pattern until he hit all the virile lizards that were far away from the Condortlians.
+ Your poison has dealt a fatal blow to the virile lizard.
+ You've killed the virile lizard.
+ You've gained 6000 exp.
Smoke went down from his hidden sniping post and headed towards the Condortlians. A few minutes later another notification.
+ Your poison has dealt a fatal blow to the virile lizard.
+ You've killed the virile lizard.
+ You've gained 6000 exp.
They have successfully killed the 10 virile lizards guarding the mines. Smoke reached Adder and the rest of the Condortlians. Adder had gathered them and waited for Smoke. Smoke stood before all of them. They were looking at him with intense anticipation. Like raging bulls waiting to be released from their bullpen.
"Today is the day you unleash all of your pent up anger! Today is the day you give them hell! Today is the day that Condortl becomes FREE!!! JOIN ME TOWARDS FREEDOM!!!"
+ In order to wipe out the lizard people.
All the residents of Condortl Village has temporarily joined your party.

The Condortlians led by Adder charged towards the center of Condortl Village rushing towards the weapon vault. They brandished their mantis blades and were protected with the raccoon masks. Just as they reached the entrance of the Village. They saw a disturbing sight.
Maxine was at the center of the village. She was commanding the virile lizards. As she saw the Condortlians at the entrance of the Village she slowly broke out of her skin and transformed into a fecund lizard. She was the matron of the lizard people.
The whole village of Condortl was overrun by virile lizards. Only the younglings were left behind at the lizard people encampment. They were snarling and screaming, waiting for their matron's order.
Adder's shock froze him like a statue. His wife was dead the whole time and in her place was a fecund lizard. How long has she been dead? Because she was moved to a different cage they rarely talked to each other the past few years , but he still loved her dearly.
Neither side made a move. Everyone was waiting for their leader's order. The Condortlians were outnumbered 20 to 1 however no one was afraid. They were waiting for this day of retribution. Live or die one thing was assured, today will be the last day of their enslavement.
As the two sides waited in suspended animation a ring of fire erupted and surrounded the whole village. From the vantage view of his built platforms on the tree tops, Smoke had set a blaze the fire trap that he built circumnavigating Condortl Village. As the whole village was engulfed in flames he let out another rain of fire arrows. The arrow's targets were special bags scattered all over the village.
The arrows hit their marks. Gray smoke started to come out from the bags. Inside the bags where dried 'mandragora flowers' which causes hallucination and nightmares. The fire kept the smoke from the mandragora flowers inside the village. Smoke then yelled towards the Condortlians.
"Quickly regroup into the 5 person team from your cages! Surround the whole village. There will be stragglers trying to escape. Kill all of them as they step out of the fire! Today justice will be served!"
Adder regained his senses as he heard Smoke's orders. He joined his 5 person team and started searching for escaping lizards.
As the Condortlians were traveling around the village. Screams of terror and sounds of fighting were heard from inside the inferno. The lizard people were fighting with each other.
The Condortlians were quick on their feet. After all this were their chance for revenge. They effectively surrounded the village in groups of 5. They were around 20 meters away from each group.
Just as Smoke predicted some virile lizards started coming out of the fire. The virile lizards coming out were almost dead and only took a few slashes from their mantis blades to die.
Smoke was firing his poison arrows in random into the black smoke that covered the whole village. After firing a couple of shots. He would jump into another platform to execute the same thing. He was trying to hit all the lizard people inside the village.
The blazing battle continued for another 2 hours. Smoke only had 100 arrows left. He would be forced to join them on the ground soon.
Adder was fighting a dying virile lizard one on one as his other 4 teammates were dealing with another one. He had just killed the lizard when suddenly the matron fecund lizard stepped out from the flames.
"Adder I didn't think I would have the pleasure to kill you."
"You wretched demon! You killed my wife! How long has she been dead?!"
"Wouldn't you like to know? What good would that knowledge serve a dead person?"
Carrying green dual knives the fecund lizard matron leaps out towards Adder. She is an exceptional fighter. Her agility is probably around 800. She continued to hit Adder for around 200 damage points.
The noble warrior tried all of his abilities and techniques but didn't hit the matron at all. He only kept getting slashed. The only redeeming thing was that the slashes were only for 200 damage.
Adder's life was now only (31,974/67,204 HP) While the matron's life bar still did not show which meant that she was not hit once since the start of the battle.
Smoke saw the death match below. He quickly went down to help Adder. Adder was desperate there was no way he could ever hit the matron. He saw Smoke coming down from one of the trees.
Adder was ready to give his life in order to kill the murderer of his wife. As soon as the matron came in to give him another slash, he released the mantis blade.
He grabbed the matron with both arms and clinched her with all his might. The matron kept on slashing Adder. Trying to get free.
Smoke switched to his dual knives and drove them deep into the matron's back.

At last the Matron's life bar appeared. Her life bar indicated that she has (34,416/40,000 HP) left. Her life wasn't that high but her dodge rate was insane. It is nearly impossible to hit her. If it wasn't for Adder's sacrifice Smoke would've most likely missed as well.
The Matron Alteria tried to stab Smoke but she couldn't reach him. She decided that it would be a race to see who would die first. Adder's life was only (14,974/67,204 HP). Soon he would be dead and she would be freed from his death grip.
Smoke's damage with the knives was much smaller compared to the bow because he focused all of his stats towards dexterity. He regretted making that decision now. He tried his hardest to move faster in order to kill the matron first before she kills Adder.
Adder was on the verge of death when 4 mantis blades lodged into the matron's body. She stopped her slashing attacks. She stopped moving completely.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO! This knife is such a great item and I can't even use it! Damn it!"
After shouting out his disappointment he embarrassingly remembered that Adder was dying. He quickly went to the gathering crowd that surrounded Adder.
"Adder are you alright? Is he stable? Are there any medics in the village?"
"Calm down Smoke. Adder is stable. He isn't bleeding to death if that's what you're afraid of. We do know how to use first aid but unfortunately there are no medics of any kind left here in Condortl."
"Well if you're sure his stable then I'm sure that Adder will be strong enough to recuperate somehow."
Smoke hurriedly climbed up the tree tops once more. He wanted a bird's eye view of the village. He wanted to know if there were any lizard people left. The fire and the smoke from the dried mandragora flowers were slowly fading away.
From the tree tops Smoke saw the inside of the village, he saw thousands of piled up dead bodies of lizard people. They had died fighting each other. He also saw some people still fighting some surviving virile lizards but he knew that they were no longer a threat.
After seeing the last of the virile lizards dead. Smoke shouted and called out to the Condortlians to gather towards his voice. Once the Condortlians were gathered. He told them that the battle is still not over.
There was still the lizard people's encampment that they need to wipe out. Around 100 people were left behind to tend to the injured. While the rest headed towards the vast clearing.
Usually seeing such a disaster would tear your heart apart but the gathered crowd only wore smiles on their faces. What stood before them was a completely destroyed encampment. The bodies of the younglings were scattered everywhere. The griffons had wiped out the encampment for them.
Only after seeing such a scene did Smoke and the Condortlians feel that battle was finally won. Condortl Village was now finally free once more!
