Chapter 69
“Everyone get back to the fortress. Form the shield formation.” Alex roared at the top of his lungs.
Hearing Alex’s orders everyone wondered what could have happened for the King to behave frantically.
Moreover, it was the first time that they had seen such an uneasy expression on his face.
Everyone decided to step back.
The remaining beast and monster and goblins who were fighting in the vicinity suddenly sensed danger and started to step back which surprised everyone out there except Alex who ran back towards the formation.
On the top of the Fortress, Hamilton’s expression distorted as he finally felt a sharp threatening feeling.
Besides Alex, only Hamilton was able to notice the changes that were happening inside the forest.
“Charles, take the charge. I am going down.” Count Hamilton ordered and jumped down the fortress walls.
ᴘᴀ ɴ ᴅᴀ n ᴏ ᴠᴇʟ
Hamilton jumped down and walked forward and stood beside Alex while all soldiers raised their shields forming a huge line of shields.
Though they didn’t know what was happening or what danger was coming for them but seeing the intense reactions from both Hamilton and Alex, they raised their guard and stood alert.
Suddenly the entire area descended into silence but everyone could feel that it was just a calm before the arrival of the storm.
Slowly and steadily everyone could hear a faint tremor and noticed the faint shaking of the earth.
Feeling the changes happening around, they looked to the front to see the birds flying up into the sky emitting shrill croaking noises as if they were alarming them.
The trees started to shake from left to right and finally, they noticed a faint movement inside the thick bushy forest.
And to their absolute horror, they saw a huge lineup walking in an orderly manner towards them.
Alex’s expression turned sharp seeing them and tightened the grip on his sword.
Before him, were an entire battalion of Wolftribesman and Orc who seemed to be fully prepared for war.
Scanning them Alex found that there were almost 150-200 wolf tribesmen and around five hundred Orc that were marching towards them.
And their combined strength was nothing to scoff of. He can even feel a master rank among the wolf tribesmen who seemed to be the chief of the tribe.
……..
In the City of Nevan
While Alex and his troops were fighting against the beast tides, a certain figure was watching an amusing scene.
In a rundown alleyway, a girl ran speedily while several figures chased her.
Her clothes had been tattered and tears trickled down her cheeks which fell on the ground along with drops of blood.
She was chased by these people who seemed to be groups of bandits.
After the Capital of Nevan started to prosper, many thieves and bandits started to bare their fangs.
With Alex and The City Crops headed by Max and Ben’s absence, they grew at an alarming rate and soon tried to cause as much chaos as possible.
The girl was quite good-looking but more than that she had something precious which caught the eye of the bandits and they thought that getting that thing and selling it would make them rich.
The girl took a turn toward left and right as she sped her way. Her chest was falling up and down while her dishevelled hairs struck her face.
One of her poor shoes was unable to take on the torture and finally broke while the girl running around tripped over and stumbled.
“Hahahahahahhah!”
“Excellent girl. We told you to hand over the things and then we would leave you safely but you just have to go on around and make things difficult for us.” One of the men spoke.
“Now along with that thing, we will also take interest. You have to pay the interest with your body girl.”
All of them laughed and licked their lips, seeing the delicious meal before them.
One of them ran toward the girl and extended his hand toward the girl to pull her.
“No..No…” The girl screamed with a little hope that someone may save her at the last moment by listening to her scream.
On her way, she tried to ask for help from many but seeing these beasts in man’s clothing everyone turned a blind eye.
Most of the streets were desolate without any single person and only people like these bandits were roaming around in the deathly silence of the night.
As the man was ready to pounce on the delicate girl and raised her hand to hold her, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His hand was just a few inches away from the girl’s face and to his absolute horror, he wasn’t able to move his hand any further and felt that his whole existence had frozen.
His teammates who were laughing behind with a sinister smile looked at him with annoyance and shouted.
“What the hell?”
pᴀ ɴda nᴏv el “Are you amazed by the witch’s beauty so much that you froze for a moment?”
“What an asshole?” The man spoke and took a step forward but just like the other guy, he wasn’t able to move.
And soon all the men present out there noticed the anomaly which stunned them to their core.
All of them weren’t able to move and as they looked around to find the anomaly, they noticed small strings attached to their body and had wrapped every part of their body which had been tied tightly, hindering their movements.
“Who did this?”
“Who the hell are you?”
All of them screamed and not getting the answer, their gaze landed on the girl in front of them and they shouted”Are you the one who tricked us?”
“I am telling you if you tricked us then the consequences would be horrible.”
“Fufufufufu….”
“Consequences! Shouldn’t you worry about yourself first?”
A sweet and pleasant charming voice resounded in the alleyway which echoed in their eyes and made them look up in a panic.
Under the glistening moon, stood a dazzling figure who shone brightly under the darkness of night.
