The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 649

Chapter 649 Multiple Targets

[Head Northeast, there is a group that will be crossing behind us on a path to intercept where this team should be.] Hawk instructed, then remembered to add details.

[Three teams, led by the Monarchs and made up mostly of Royals.]

Karl didn't set a fast pace, so everyone would be mostly rested when they made it to the target, but this shouldn't be a hard battle. The numbers were very close to even, and Karl's group was much stronger than their adversaries.

[I can take care of this with Hawk. They will never even know what happened to them.] Rae suggested as Karl and the others casually jogged along.

[I won't stop you if you want to play. Hawk can find us another target after.] Rae vanished in spider form, followed by Overlord Niall, who was more interested in what she was up to than staying with the group.

[Turn further East, towards the city. There is a Monarch led group that way as well, but only five Giants.] Hawk suggested, and Karl quietly altered the route.

Nobody asked where the two assassins had gone, they just accepted that they were doing sneaky things. The Inquisitor frequently vanished to take care of some secret objective, and the other Overlords were used to it. So, when Rae did the same, they just assumed that it was part of some established plan.

A minute later, the group came into sight, and Karl chuckled as he realized what Hawk had done. These were all Frost Giants, and the water hating bird had sent everyone else to deal with them while he played with the Mountain Giants.

He hated water magic, but not enough to willingly expose himself to it.

There weren't many things that Hawk could do now that would actually surprise the group, and sending them all to deal with the parts that he didn't like was no shock at all.

What was surprising was that there was a Monarch Ranked Frost Giant here.

As Karl had been informed, the Frost Giants were the weakest of their kin, so there shouldn't be many Monarch-Ranked Giants in the entire nation, and now to see one here with five Royals was certainly a surprise.

Perhaps he should talk to them for a moment first.

At least long enough to satisfy his curiosity.

"I want to try to talk to this giant before anything else happens. Something is off if we're finding Monarch Ranked Frost Giants coming from the west." Karl informed the group as they advanced.

"Monarch Frost Giants? I wonder which one? I might have met them before." Lady Othello suggested.

That about settled it. If he didn't want to talk to them, someone would.

Karl slowed as he came into sight of the Giants, then raised a hand in greeting and stopped twenty metres from the group, who were all facing him with weapons drawn.

"Greetings, I am Karl, and this is Overlord Othello. We have a few questions and a request for you." Karl informed the leader of the group, a Frost Giant Shaman woman wearing long white robes.

"The human wants parlay?" The Giant seemed confused.

"Why are you invading from the west, so far from your borders, when your presence is needed at home?" Karl began.

The Frost Giant looked annoyed. "The Mountain Giants rallied all the Giants to their great benefactor. Today, we conquer the humans and claim the System for ourselves."

Well, as a reason, that made sense. But Othello had a question.
