CHAPTER 354: PRECURSOR TO WAR (2/2)

I rolled my eyes at her and gently pushed her away. It was then that I could calmly answer, “Haven’t you seen it before?”

“Seen what?”

“The charge of ten thousand horses.”

The charge of ten thousand horses… If one connected the sudden rumbling of the earth, the departure of Warwraith, and these two Nightmare Steeds appearing before us, there really only was one explanation: the Warhorses were back for revenge.

“You need to be careful later. If you stand too far away from me, I can’t guarantee your safety.”

“And why should I trust you?”

‘Ugh…’ Her attitude truly was a turn off right now. With that in mind, I coldly said to her, “If you don’t trust me, just stay away then.”

“No!”

She latched on even tighter. I was basically like a rescue buoy to her now. She knew how complicated the current situation was for her. If she were to leave now, she would most likely end up dead.

“If you want my protection, hand over your soul.”

“Never!”

She only needed a second before rejecting me outright. She then proceeded to taunt me, as if to say, “throw me out, I dare you.”

‘Fine… you win.’

Perhaps it was because of my leniency with her before, Jeerah had basically sussed out my personality in the short time we had known each other. She knew that I would never abandon her, thus she needn’t hesitate at all before rejecting my offer of a soul pact.

Still, the situation wasn’t looking good right now. The helpless till now Nightmare Steeds had finally awaited the arrival of reinforcements. Turning around, Warsight was immediately greeted with the sight of a giant herd of Warhorses galloping over the horizon.

“Shade! What took you so long!”

A Nightmare Steed I was familiar with, Shade was the first to come galloping on the clouds, stopping right beside his companions who had halted their attacks for now. He first greeted Shadowfall, before explaining to Warsight, “They couldn’t keep up with our speed…”

“Those Warhorses are rather slow.” Warsight nodded, completely ignoring that fact that she was once such a Warhorse as well. “Must have been a pain too, looking after their various troubles.”
