After the winged scouts repeatedly confirmed that there were no Demon Race spies in the vicinity, a hundred-man squad quietly left Golden Valley City.
This team was led jointly by Angela and Morton Baron, and included Puki Masters and winged people, among others, beastmen skilled in reconnaissance. This was practically the limit of defense forces Golden Valley City could spare.
Everyone prayed for the team's safe return.
The type of Puki brought by the team all had tentacles and magic storage capabilities.
The former was necessary for transporting items, while the latter was crucial because this was a mission away from fungal mats; without magic storage, Puki would starve to death halfway through.
Fortunately, although Puki's skills aren't fixed, these two features are relatively common, so gathering a team wasn't an issue.
The Puki Master's control range over Puki is roughly three hundred meters. Beyond this range, they become sluggish or simply ignore commands.
