A Conclusion and a New Beginning

"Monsters are everywhere now, so the Patriarch needs to assess each squad's missions in person."

After all, Lan Qingyou was only one person.

Even if she could split the Giant Slayer Squad into separate units and have them act as commanders, she couldn't use a clone spell to fight on two fronts herself.

So, in this "outsourcing" operation, her role was to scout.

All she had to do was tell the Giant Squad members leading each team about the monsters she'd seen and the weaknesses she'd identified.

It was certainly an easy job, in some ways.

But everyone was luring the monsters away from the cities, so they had to travel whenever they moved to a new area.

So.

Most of her time was spent on the road.

Still, though it was a bit of a hassle, it wasn't without its benefits.

During all that rushing around, Lan Qingyou gathered a lot of information on large and gigantic monsters.

The information might seem like it would only be useful once.

But who knew whether another "surprise attack" like this might happen in the future?

Besides, she'd only gone to help the people in the group get out of a jam.

So she hadn't traveled to that many places.

As for the other regions, Lan Qingyou didn't concern herself with them.

After all, those people hadn't contacted her, nor had they offered to pay her.

Sure, some might offer monster corpses as compensation, but the most important rule in this line of work was never to steal someone else's kill.

Lan Qingyou took that rule seriously.

Of course.

If a region was home to monsters with Mental Power so formidable that even she couldn't handle them, she'd give up on it and keep her people from being sent to their deaths.
