The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1458

Chapter 1458: Relax and Sit

The city guards were beginning to relax now that they knew the boss of the monsters, as well as most of the threat, had been eliminated.

But it was not nearly enough.

They were all still exhausted from days of being kept on edge, while Karl’s group was freshly rested when the fight started, though some might have been a touch hungover.

"Why don’t you all take a break, and we will watch the city for a few hours? We’ve got enough that we can spread out along the walls and watch for incoming fights.

It might even lure out a few more of the beasts, though I suspect that with their leader gone, they will become less aggressive and more territorial.

That’s closer to their usual nature." Karl suggested.

Prince Nathan frowned. Was that not supposed to be his line?

Sure, they were at a border city, but it was still on the Gathuzan side of the border. These were his people, and it was his duty to care for them, while the Darklight Host didn’t even have a branch office on this island.

"I will call for a regiment to relieve the city guard.

The attacks are dying down now, and I am certain that Father can spare at least one force to relieve the city guard here for a few days while they recover." He insisted.

The guards looked overjoyed at that news, and immediately started to spread the good news that they were going to be relieved, and could finally sleep. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Not just a nap between shifts, but proper sleep, all night long.

"If the army takes some time to get here, my team can help watch the city. Lady Rae is happy to scout for fresh sources of leather approaching the walls, and if we give her a coffee and a cupcake, I’m certain that Sister Lotus will take over the arduous task of greeting everyone who wants to pass through this gate."

Lotus laughed at the thought. Of course she would take over gate guard duty. Everyone here was so nice, and they even brought her snacks as a reward for healing.

They knew what Nature Priestesses liked.

"Are you sure that it’s not too much trouble? It will probably be at least four hours before a team will get here." Prince Nathan replied.

Rae wrapped a companionable arm around his shoulders. "My dear Prince. Of course it’s not a problem. Looking out for the little guy is what we do. Besides, I’m not nearly as well stocked with Crocolisk leather as I had hoped to be.

They’re surprisingly difficult to come by, and now that I’ve announced to the other tailors that I have some, I’m swamped with orders."

Nathan nodded slowly. "And just how many tailors does the Darklight Host have?"

"Well, I would say about fifty, if you include the spiders who specialize in actually making silk. But the tailors are higher in number, while being only a small portion of the actual revenue source.
