The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 1460

Chapter 1460: Hustling

Letting the Commander deal with Lotus instead was a brilliant move, Karl decided.

The Nature Priestess was asleep on top of Leo, who was sunning his shell as he floated above the walls. But the moment that the Commander cleared his throat to get her attention, and Leo wobbled to wake her up, Lotus was right on top of the battle report.

Her retelling involved dramatic hand gestures, props, and even a musical interlude.

The Commander of the relief force was so stunned by the nature priestess’s way of describing the battle that it took him half a minute to process it and come up with a suitable response.

"Are you perhaps trying to progress onto a bard class path?" He finally asked.

"Bard? Oh, no. That’s not for me. I just like story time.

It really was an incredible battle to observe. I didn’t have much to do in my position as healer once the local guards were all patched up, so I just waited and watched.

Now, if you’re going to take over the positions on the walls, there are snacks calling my name, and I need my trusty turtle to help me access them."

Leo laughed as he moved Lotus back to the Tiny World. There had to be an easier way than having the beasts move her in and out, but Lotus couldn’t teleport, so unless they opened a full sized access at her location, he couldn’t think of one.

"Where did she go?" The Commander asked, realizing that he hadn’t gotten to ask any real questions.

"Into a separate space. You can ask Karl." Dana suggested.

The Commander nodded. "Avatar, sorry to bother you. Do you have an estimate on the remaining monster count, or any other information on future attack patterns?"

"The attackers spread over the entire swamp. I don’t have the original attack size data, or a proper count of casualties since, but given what we removed in this battle, I suspect that the remaining number is less than a hundred, spread over the whole swamp.

The longer we give it, the more likely they are to cluster and spread into territories, like any other Mythic Beast.

They only remain hyper aggressive as long as there is a greater being controlling them, and their controller has left the mortal realms entirely. Returning won’t be easy with our Immortals watching for intrusions, so the chances are that he won’t try at all.

And not just because he’s likely terrified of being eaten."

The Commander gave his subordinates a relieved smile. That made this deployment sound much better. If they just needed to hold the city while the locals recovered, and didn’t need to fend off a full-scale attack, it was close to a vacation compared to what they had expected.

Rae returned, having found as many Crocolisks as were going to be easily hunted, and Karl knew that it was nearly time to call their mission here finished.

"If you want to take over the guard duties, please send everyone else back to the front gate. We need to decide if we’re spending the night here, or if we are going to move on to another city." He added.

"Of course. Though, I have heard that you are from the crafting branch of the Darklight Host. Did your Guild perhaps still have merchandise for sale?" The Commander asked hopefully.
