The Legendary Mage (Alavin) novel Chapter 358

Meanwhile, the caravan of the Mollen family, already en route, was deeply shaken. They had been invited by Balder to visit Stormcast for a meeting and talk, but as they neared the ancient city, they hadn't expected such a dramatic turn of events.

The patriarch of the Mollen family immediately ordered a halt, ignoring Balder's vehement insistence. They set up camp midway to wait. As the situation escalated, the Mollen family dared not intervene rashly. It was best to observe the changes quietly.

Deep within the Cloudveil Woods.

Hamund, bathed in his own blood, hid in a ravine, having escaped encirclement for the sixth time. Three days prior, Lord Viperbane's mighty blow had injured his Channel of Energy, and just two days ago, Tobin had ambushed him, piercing his body with a dagger and leaving him gravely wounded. He didn't know how much longer he could hold on, but he had to keep fleeing as best he could.

Lord Viperbane and his followers were even more livid. They had been tracking Hamund for six days straight—how much longer would they have to pursue him? What was the origin of this man who had escaped their grasp six times? Why were his movements so elusive? There had been instances where they thought they had slain him, only for him to incredulously reappear in another direction. Their hunt had caused an uproar in Cloudveil Woods, almost revealing Lord Viperbane’s position.

They were nearing madness. How could a mere Elder be so troublesome?

What they found most unacceptable was that in several direct confrontations, they had not discovered the Cobalt Strike Commander. Where was he? Could he have been hidden away?

The Grand Elder had dispatched over two thousand of his troops to return and search for the Commander. They could not allow him to escape the forest, nor could he be allowed to spread the news.

However, today, the secret of the Kings’ Acceptance swept through Cloudveil Woods, reaching the very troops on the hunt.
