Capítulo 557: Act 27 Expansion (8) (Update 2, Seeking Monthly Ticket, Also Seeking Subscription)_2

Tajib even further inferred, instinctively believing that all creatures capable of flight would beco clumsy once they lost their usual ans of movent. Just like a cave dweller mastering flying magic would still stagger in mid-air.

This was an obvious principle.

But Tajib clearly did not anticipate that in this world, there were amphibian creatures like angels and griffins, not to ntion the Dragon Clan, which he had only heard of in legends.

This mistake was fatal from the beginning and even irreparable. Tajib, in his arrogance, missed the best ti to recall the bear goblins from the frontline to protect himself. And while he was hoping that those two humans would be driven into a desperate situation, he soon noticed another discordant sound:

The two “giant eagles” that had been shot down started charging towards him at a speed beyond his imagination.

Only then did Tajib realize the imminent disaster. But he was left with only so cave dwellers and a few cave dweller warriors around him, a rabble that stood no chance against two Great Angels of Silver Level strength.

Sure enough, he soon “heard” the sound of his personal guard dispersing.

Then he felt two cold blades pressed against his neck.

Being able to wield weapons ant that the opponents were likely intelligent humanoid creatures, definitely not giant eagles. In that instant, Tajib seed to understand the opponents’ intent, but he lifted his head and tried to stop the conversation that was coming next with the pride of a tribal leader.

“I… will not… surrender.”

This was a stuttering sentence in the Kruz Language, which he had learned in interactions with Gruding’s envoys.

The two angels remained silent.

…

When Tajib uttered those words, the battlefield paused slightly. The cave dwellers had extrely sharp hearing, and the conversation at the center of the battlefield had spread across nearly the entire battlefield.

Brand felt the change on the battlefield and looked up to see the Sheep Head Banner falling.

However, the changes among the cave dwellers did not affect the bear goblins, whose hearing was not as sharp. Under their attack, Xi, who was assigned to cover him, was already dripping with sweat, continuously retreating.

Brand grabbed the girl by the back of her collar and dragged her behind him, then swung his sword forward—he cautiously controlled his strength to avoid exhaustion from overexertion, while using the sword’s wind to push back the large creatures.

But after the swing, even he couldn’t help feeling dizzy.

“Lord?” Xi was startled when she felt herself being grabbed by the collar but didn’t resist upon realizing it was Brand. She simply asked in confusion.

“We are in position,” Brand replied.

The red-haired girl turned her head and found that they had returned to the edge of the battlefield.

“What should we do now?” she asked, panting and still puzzled. Although she saw the Sheep Head Banner fall, it didn’t an much. Even if Tajib was dead, the cave dwellers on the other side of the lumberyard would still attack Antitina.

The current situation had deviated sowhat from their original plan.

Brand just shook his head. He pulled Xi back while snapping his fingers towards the woodland on the hillside. Soon, they saw a flash of silver charging out of the dark forest.

It was their Silver War Steed.

…

Facing the gazes of Crenxia and Fern, Antitina finally nodded. “Notify them to have the apprentices prepare their spells.” Although the cave dwellers nearest her were dozens of feet away, the noble daughter calmly stared at that direction on the wooden walls—where the rcenaries were engaged in a tug-of-war with the underground creatures—and replied in the sa calm tone.

“Wait!” Yuta’s voice ca from behind everyone. They turned to see her cutting down a cave dweller with her sword, carving a path from the other side.

At the start of the battle, the Maid Corps Commander had been inspecting her subordinates and was left on the southern fortifications, but she had finally fought her way back to them.

Her appearance halted everyone present.

Almost all the spellcasters present were from her team. She understood very well the important role her people needed to play in this battle—but Yuta feared that these guys might not understand the situation clearly because in the rcenaries, not everyone had the opportunity to use spellcasters on a large scale.

“Of all the casters here, only a few can use Silence Technique. Forming an Array to amplify the spell’s effect will still drain their strength,” Yuta panted, saying, “I an, we only have one chance to cast such a large-scale Silence Technique—it’s a powerful move, but are you sure you want to use it now?”

“There is no other choice,” Crenxia replied. “If we give up the walls, we can’t fight this battle.”

“We must seize the opportunity to push them back to buy more ti,” Fern added.

Yuta turned to Antitina, “What about after that?” she asked seriously.

“After that,” Antitina looked up at the stars in the night sky, noting that it was already past midnight, and then turned back to answer calmly, “There is no ‘after.’ We just need to await the Lord’s victory news in the remaining ti.” Her answer was so matter-of-fact that it left everyone stunned.
