The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552 Finding Friends

Tessa looked around at the situation, then sighed and rubbed Thor's head.

"On the plus side, even though we turned over the orphans without so much as a thank you, we can now get back to moving at a decent speed." Karl smiled, and Rae called out a pair of Golems.

"Yes, we can ride in style now. Ophelia, do you think you can ride without a saddle?" Karl asked.

"I think so. The Golems move pretty smoothly. But can the bodyguards keep up with Thor?"

The Naga Warriors gave her a thumbs up, while the Lamia pair nodded. They might struggle to catch the golems or Rae in a straight line, but they were pretty quick, and Thor would only be at a casual jog that he could keep up all day.

Karl mounted a Golem and took the point position, while Hawk soared overhead, scouting the area for surviving threats. Their chosen route out of the area had nothing, as the last attack had been nearly overhead, and that didn't give the Giant Boars much of a chance.

If there was anyone alive and hiding underground, Hawk was determined to ignore it so that they could actually make progress today and not just keep stopping to pet babies and build wagons.

Neither of those activities held any interest for him, but once they found the group of Dana Mages, they were guaranteed to find action. Every time he had met them in the past there was a fight of some sort, and most of them were with new species. That had to be a good sign of their interesting nature.

So, he flew to the edge of the destruction and searched for surviving Cyclops and boar teams. Dead was dead when the rest of the team arrived, and they wouldn't stop just because it was Hawk that killed some of them.

Karl could hear his plotting, but it wasn't much different from what he would have ordered anyhow.

Even at the casual jogging pace, it wouldn't take them too much longer to make their way out of the affected area. There was a chance that some of the invaders had scattered, but a few groups wouldn't be a major issue, even if Hawk didn't find them first.

[The Dana Mages are on the move again, but they're slow today. I think that something happened to them.] Hawk updated.

[Can you tell what it is?]

[I think that they have wounded members. They don't have the hiding spell up anymore, and some of them are being carried on a cloth between people.]

[How far are they?]

[About an hour if Thor runs?] Hawk guessed.

[You up for it, buddy?] Karl asked Thor, who started to run instead of answering.

The startled passengers held on for dear life as the Cerro's swaying gait turned into a ramming speed sprint. But the saddle was made for this, and the Golems had no problem keeping up, while their multi-legged body gave them a much smoother ride.

After half an hour, Thor's stamina was fading, and his sprint had faded to a run and then to a fast jog, but the Spellblade Clan was now in sight, and they should have been able to recognized Karl and the others just as easily as he recognized them.

They had even been sending scouts up every ten minutes to get a better view, so there was no way that they didn't know Karl's team was coming by now.

Once they realized that Karl was coming to them, Prince Corbin turned his clan back towards the incoming Elites, and the promise of healing from the clerics they knew were with them.
