The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 557

Chapter 557 Travel Buddies

The Trollish Merchants turned west and left as soon as they were presentable again. They weren't rushing, but they weren't waiting around for something else to find them.

That left the surrounding area clear for the Spellblade clan to finish packing up and preparing to head east through the grasslands.

First, they just needed to warn the groups coming south that there was danger ahead so that they didn't walk right into the incident unprepared.

Karl jogged over when he saw a group coming, giving them plenty of time to slow down before reaching his team.

"There has been an incident south of here. There are Cyclops and Giant boars running rampant, and the army is trying to clear them up. We met the remains of a Trollish Merchant group this morning, and they lost everything, including half their team.

I wouldn't recommend that you go any further down the road. My people are going east instead," Karl warned the lead driver.

"Do you know how far east it goes?" The driver asked.

Karl shook his head. "It goes west all the way to the Fortress before it ends, but I don't know exactly how far east or south."

Well, he did know yesterday, but it could have been partially cleared up by now.

"Alright, we will wait here for the day, then. Once we see someone coming north with news, we will know if we can move again. Thank you for the warning, traveller."

Karl nodded. "I lost my wagon as well. I was in the western end of it when the Giants appeared. Be safe out there."

The merchant wagon driver nodded, and then gestured for his team to come forward as Karl returned to his group.

"Alright, let's get a move on. The others know about the danger now, so we can let them tell anyone else who comes along." He explained.

The Spellblades looked more than a little jealous as Rae called out her Golems to take Karl and Ophelia as riders, while Hawk landed to take Dana for the day.

His flames were ethereal, not hot in this form, and Rae had made a saddle just for this purpose. Dana, on the other hand, had not been informed of the change in plans.

"Wait, am I expected to ride on Hawk?" She asked when he headbutted her to end her hesitation.

"That's the plan. You have ranged attack skills, he is the longest ranged attacker on the team. So, you're well paired. Besides, Rae just made him a fancy new saddle, and he hasn't gotten to try it out yet." Karl agreed.
