The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 661

Chapter 661 Dealing With Reporters

Back inside the city, things were even more chaotic than they were on the battlefield, with people panicking about the attack, about how they had just realized that the Capital was a target, and that it was far too close to the Mountain Giant borders.

Never mind that they had been there their entire lives, and this was the first time that the Giants had dared to threaten the city directly, now that it had happened, the reality had sunk in for the Capital residents who were used to their luxury and safety.

Karl would have liked to say that it was understandable, just a matter of threatened civilians and bureaucrats, but shamefully many of the sedentary lower ranked Elites were involved in the chaos.

They had never really taken the threats to the nation seriously, even when they were in the Academy. Now, they regretted every action that they had taken which delayed their own growth or passed up potential for political power or wealth.

[We should have gotten the fear aura skill.] Rae complained from her space as they slowly made their way through the crowds in the streets.

Fortunately, the majority of the crowd didn't recognize them, only that they were Elites by their armour. So, nobody stopped them to ask questions.

However, when they began to approach the street that led to the higher ranking Elite's apartments, the crowd was absolutely packed, looking for someone who could give them answers.

The apartments were all empty, everyone who lived there was called to battle, and they were the first ones back. The other fronts had taken much worse damage than the North Side did, thanks to Remi's intervention with the Thunderstorm.

The first to recognize them was a reporter, and his shouts turned hundreds of concerned citizens around to swarm the group of returning Elites.

"Please, can you tell us what the current situation is?" The reporter pleaded, while his team worked to keep the crowd from pushing into the shot.

"The armies of the Giants and their allies have retreated. There is currently no direct threat to the city, but we have not been privy to the casualty counts or merit awards that might come from this battle." Niall informed the reporter in a monotone voice.

That wasn't how he usually talked, so he was deliberately making his interview as boring as humanly possible, hoping to end it soon.

"Which portion of the city were you defending?" The reporter asked.

"The Inquisition cannot confirm the location of its members. However, I can confirm that a Monarch and four Royal Ranked Elites took command of the North Side of the city. Their direction led to zero line breaches, while the Tree of Life form of High Priestess Lotus, servant of the Green Dragon God, was instrumental in reducing casualties."

[If all else fails, throw someone under the bus and run.] Remi laughed.

[I will drag him back if he tries to run.] Rae agreed.
