The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 651

Chapter 651 Bad Traffic

Karl turned to Lady Othello. "I just got a message that the traffic in the city is at a crawl, we won't get far with vehicles. I don't know where you need to go, but they are deploying the lower ranks to the North Side to defend against a Goblin and Ogre attack."

"You sound personally invested in that." The Overlord noted.

"In a way. My group was working on a way to rapidly boost trainees, and we had gotten a group to advance to Awakened within a week of training, they haven't even started at the Academy yet, and won't for another week. But they've been split up and sent to the city walls with random Ascended Rank team leaders.

I know the policy is that Awakened Rank and up are ready to fight outside the training environment, but this is a bit different." Karl explained.

Othello looked impressed. "You managed to help them skip the entire Common Rank grind? That is impressive just by itself, but I can see how it would be an issue if they were at the Cathedral today.

Is there one in particular that you're concerned about?"

Karl nodded. "There is a Rogue with them who is deaf, and the message she sent me says that she's with a group that doesn't have a cleric, or anyone else who knows sign language. So, she can't understand any of the orders coming over the radio because nobody is speaking them out loud."

"A message?" Lady Othello asked.

"Oh, right. There is a System Function for that. Sybil, the baby Rogue, found it."

Karl sent Othello a message, startling her so much that she almost swerved off the road.

"Sorry, I didn't think that it would be that obtrusive. It just appears at the edge of my vision." Karl explained.

"I see how you sent it now. But it appeared in front of me like the System Alerts inside a trial. I will have to find a way to change that. Maybe if I just focus on moving it, and perhaps making it a little transparent. Yes, that's better."

Othello sent him back a brief message. {I will circle to the north of the city, and enter from the north gates. That is closest to the Cathedral anyhow.}

So, their convoy took a turn, following the edge of the city towards where it was becoming clear the battle had nearly reached the walls. They were under five kilometres away, and Karl could see the fight when they came over a hill.

"Would you be particularly mad if I jumped out and left you to deliver the message? My team would surely be a morale booster along the line, since the leaders there are mostly Commanders, the same as along the Frost Giant border." He suggested.

"I don't mind. Do you need time to tell your group?"

Karl shook his head. "No, they know already. Thor is in humanoid form, so he just told them directly. I don't know if you can hear them over the wind."

Othello shook her head. "No, my senses aren't as keen as yours. But I hear that you might be able to change that. There was talk of an Elite passing out strange skill books, and my guess is that was you."

"There are four of the five trainees." _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
