The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 411

Chapter 411 Private Fort

[Rae, can you make a smaller fort far enough back in the trees that people in the camp won't hear us? I would like to take Dana for an evening alone.] Karl requested.

[I can do that. I will get everything set up for you, and I know the perfect spot.] Rae replied instantly, suggesting that she had already been thinking about this topic.

Rae exited her space in the distance and darted off to a spot near a river that Hawk had scouted on his way back from hunting for good food.

It was over a kilometre from camp, far enough that sensitive ears shouldn't hear what they were up to, and in nice strong trees, so they could be up in the air, like a proper fort should be.

[I will get everything set up for the evening. Trust in the spider, I know about these things.]

Well, Karl couldn't say that he had more experience with women than Rae did, so he wasn't going to argue with her logic.

Now, he just needed a smooth way to get Dana away from camp. Really, it shouldn't be too hard. Hawk was in the tower of the fort, and if he stayed there all night, Karl would have his early warning system in place in case something went wrong.

Fifteen minutes later, Rae was confident that she had everything that she needed ready.

[There is a fort, the birthday gift for my Dana, a change of clothes for the evening, and everything you might need.] She informed Karl as she settled into her security office web a few dozen metres away.

The other crews at the dungeon had brought pressure cookers, so the clerics teamed up to make a proper stew with the deer creature that evening. Bob had made fresh bread for them, and the smells coming from the fort were incredible.

But the rest of the camp was cooking dinner as well, and the bureaucrats weren't the sort that skimped out on their meals when they were in the field.

So his team likely could have made something fancy just by pilfering the three groups for some specialties. The government researchers had brought plenty of supplies for the Elites that they were holding on station, but Karl's team had always preferred to cook for themselves.

"What is the plan for the evening? I am guessing that Karl is going to steal the birthday girl for the evening." Bob asked as they finished dinner.

Karl winked. "Rae has already set it all up. But Hawk will stay here all night, so if something happens, we can be back in only a minute or two."

"Then shoo. Have a good night, and we will prepare for the birthday celebration when you get back in the morning."

Karl held out a hand to Dana, who blushed and accepted the help to her feet, before Karl swept her up into his arms and jogged off into the woods.

"Where are we going? We're supposed to be protecting the civilians." She asked as Karl ran through long grass in an open field on the way to the river.

"We will only be a kilometre from camp. Close enough to be back before most of the humans have even noticed anything is wrong. Trust me, it will be worth it."

Karl spotted the fort right where Rae said it was supposed to be, with the Bloodbath Spider waiting in a nearby tree. She had made it a simple design, spacious, with a fully suspended floor, so that it would all be stretchy and soft, with no hard spots where branches passed underneath.
