The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 572

Chapter 572 Called Back To The Chaos

"What portion of them do you think that we killed before they ran away?" Colonel Lu asked as the defenders were catching their breath and preparing for the next attack.

Karl shrugged. "At least a third, but I don't think that it matters because they took the bodies back. They will most likely resurrect them right away, and then they will have suffered no losses."

The Minotaur sighed. "Whereas our losses are permanent, so they're running a campaign of attrition."

Karl gestured behind them. "Who said ours are permanent. We have Lotus, High Priestess of the Nature God, and a healing specialist, here with us today. It looks like she started with the strongest of the fallen, and then the cutest. She might not be able to save them all before she is exhausted, but with two Dragon God clerics here, we shouldn't have too many casualties."

They had many wounded fighters. Almost all of them had some level of injury after the battle, but about half of their force had been heavily injured and were slowly moving around, getting used to the feeling of their limbs again.

It was a measure to prevent lingering mental trauma that would reduce healing effectiveness in the future, an accelerated version of rehab to remind the body that it was healing properly.

"At least there are more reinforcements incoming now that the first group is out of the trial." Tessa noted as she rode up beside Karl on Thor's back.

Karl looked back in the direction she was pointing and saw an entire army regiment coming out to surround the ruins. Dozens of white robed clerics, nearly a thousand soldiers, and a full artillery battery had arrived so far, on top of hundreds more soldiers from Newbon, and one adult blue dragon.

"We should likely go speak to the dragon before they have to come here. Blue Dragons love knowledge more than anything, and if we give it to them, they will like us by extension." Karl suggested.

Tessa smirked at him. "Is that your plan to gaslight the clergy? Just play to their aspect?"

"Hey, I brought you a whole battle with the world's best charger to ride, didn't I? I think I'm doing alright."

Tessa rolled her eyes. "You provided this lovely charger, but I don't think that you can take credit for the whole battle. The Giants were coming whether we were here or not."

[The Not Dana Mages are coming back.] Hawk updated as Karl prepared a good reason why he should get credit.

"Oh, there are Spellblades incoming as well. We should prepare to welcome them." Karl announced, changing the topic while letting Tessa know what was happening.

"What direction, I will go update them on the situation so that there aren't any conflicts between allies today." Tessa asked.

"Under Hawk. He's circling them now and preparing to land."

The Minotaur wondered how that was going to help with the stated goal of not starting a fight between allies, as the gigantic Ghostfire Thunderbird was not a comforting sight to strangers.

The Royal Rank Minotaur decided to leave it alone. He knew that the one who had found them was Hawk, so the rapid response was perfectly reasonable, and there were more forces expected from both sides, as they would be sending as many people as possible to take the trial and attempt to awaken System Functions before the orb ran out of energy, or the ruins vanished again. _{freewёbnoνel.com}
