It was an empty beach. There were only stranded bodies of enemy soldiers littering the beach. On the faraway horizon, the still floating and vacant fleet immediately caught Liam and Ezekiel's attention.
"Did they change every soldier there was into wyverns?"
Yes, they did. Liam could smell how there was no human in those ships, but he, in his wolf form, could not tell Ezekiel directly about that fact.
Ezekiel jumped down Liam's back and turned his head everywhere for clues. He saw some unresponsive ravens on the beach, but in his head, it was not enough indication to tell him about Heinrich's state.
He still believed that that man was still alive somewhere.
"Don't worry. He should be okay."
Ezekiel turned to his back, where Liam stood there, naked.
"Harriet told me that the ravens fell from the sky almost 24 hours ago, but I don't think i
WOOF! WOOF!Young and elderly Lycans coordinate themselves inside the magic barrier. They saw the mages come inside with them and shrink the barrier to be stronger and more effective.Now the Mages understood that this would be the last defense they needed to keep safe.The refugees and the civilians were instructed to go to the castle at the center of it all. But weirdly, there were not many screams and chaos.The presence of the Lycans made them feel safer... even though they knew they were just hanging on one thread of hope."567 Wyverns and 3 Alpha left..." Harriet kept track of everything. "12 injured Wyverns, 3 injured from our side..."Harriet knew that it would not be long until they needed another howl attack to mess with the wyverns. But there were still wyverns on the ground that should have been handled immediately."We need s
The situation turned dire that fast. Two days ago, Penelope could still busy her mind with arranging flowers, but now, her life had turned upside down.An army of Wyverns attacked the capital. As the sun set, chaos ensued.Presently, Penelope and her household's servants helped people find shelter. Everyone was instructed to go to the castle and take cover.She saw many other nobles and elders take over the commands for security. While at the same time, Duke Platinum and his Lycan Army defended the city walls with the mages and soldiers from the central shoreline battlefield.Penelope wondered where Heinrich was. If some of his mages were here, then he must be close too, right?Unfortunately, lower-ranked nobles like her were not qualified enough to know that kind of information. Even if she was once the well-known gossiper in the Capital of Euclase, in this war period, even she
SLAM!"I don't care if you still refuse to send any reinforcement. But, if any of you got attacked in the future, then Hyacinth will not help you and your burned asses," Solderet said.All the people in the hall were surprised by this sudden outburst from Solderet. He had always been a calm and composed king, but he was now raging mad that he slammed the wide table."My son visited each one of you, begging in his knees to send reinforcement. For the world. And you chase him away.""How can we believe in such a boastful child? Archmage? Is that title a child's play?" the Marigold Kingdom's king sneered. He was the most hateful one among the other six leaders.As the current leader of the Marigold Royal Family and the descendant of Henry Marigold's cousin who ascended the throne after his death 70 years ago, he was bitter.Even Henry Marigold could not become t
"Elder Brother's Mana... had disappeared..."Julian's words shocked Solderet so much that he felt his breath stop. This was impossible. His eldest son was the Archmage!He looked at his sons. Their faces were as serious as a death sentence."Are you sure?" the man asked.Julian and Tornian didn't answer him, but their eyes stared daggers at the others in the room. Especially the current leader of the Marigold Kingdom."From the fallen raven, Tornian and I extracted the last images recorded by the ravens."Instantly, hundreds and thousands of screens appeared and filled the room. It was all made from Tornian's Magic that could transfer all of the ravens' recordings to empty space, like small windows of memories.Those images and recordings were all from the perspective of the ravens as they observed Heinrich's fight against thousand upon t
GRRAWRRR!Old Duke maneuvered to the left while Orcenal to the right. Their symmetrical pattern was more like a dance and a work of art rather than a martial technique.Orcenal calculated his slashes so he could still provide for Old Duke's movement, but he also attacked the big and aggressive Alpha with his precise slashes. It countered the monster's attack perfectly."He's using precise patterns to counter the chaotic and aggressive Alpha... I don't understand, but it's so effective..." Harriet mumbled.[Yes. Aggressive and chaotic people are better dealt with with calm and calculated attacks. You don't need to try and predict their movement. With enough basics and experience, you can parry everything with reflex and strength.]Liam's explanation helped Harriet to understand. While at the same time, Old Duke minded his own business as he dealt with the main leader of the wyvern
Child of Light referred to Faes, children who were born with the blood of the creatures of light. But Mother of Darkness...Alameida knew that the Elves looked down on her because she was only a Fae, but then they gave her some face when they knew she was Rayleigh's mate.That didn't solve the problem, though.Even if the elderly didn't dare to give her side eyes anymore, some of the young and insensitive Elves still even blatantly mocked her because she gave birth to Rayleigh's son.Rayleigh, the Alpha of Almandine and the ultimate Creature of Darkness.But, seeing how thousands of Fairies, the Elves' contracted friends came to her for help while calling her those names... just made Alameida like them even more.Child of Light and Mother of Darkness."That's a cool title..."[Madam, they're mocking you...]&nb
As the Fairies enjoyed the fight and disturbed the Wyverns, 400 wyverns thinned faster than Harriet's calculation."This is great," she muttered.Beside her was Orcenal, who had already felt better after his little rest. He agreed that the Fairies' help was good, but the injured allies kept rising.Harriet did calculate how even Lycans could get hurt, and depending on their strength, their regeneration could be slower than the others.[Don't worry about that, Madam. In urgent cases, even the weakest Lycan could regrow their limbs faster. Even though it exhausts them more quickly.]In this case, Liam had once regrew his arm when he fought the Antarcticite Clan Leader, even though he was very sick at the time. It had something to do with adrenaline and resiliency.[But they might pass out if they get injured multiple times...]"Noted," Harr
"They are calm."Yelan and Molly straightened their back as they heard the soft and deep voice from the woman in front of them. Even Yesha stopped cradling Damian as he heard Helena.The beautiful middle-aged woman was holding Niamh in her arms. She noticed how calm they were as if they knew what was happening right now."The outside is noisy. But they're not making any tantrums..." she flatly said with her cold expression.She just made Yelan and Molly even more tense.'Why do I feel like attending to the Queen...?' Yelan thought as she felt her shoulders tightening.Helena glared at Niamh, who stared at her innocently. Then, she said, "Act more like a baby. Cry more. Don't be like your mother. Make a fuss."Niamh didn't seem like she understood, so with her innocent expression, she just tilted her head.Seeing how c
