Chapter 515: Someone to lead (2/2)

It was true, the others really couldn't do much no matter how much they wanted to help him.

”I can try to find Ray, I can use my nose and scale down the mountain.” Jack suggested.

”Then who will lead us?” Lenny asked. ”I am originally an outsider. They will find it hard to take orders from me. Harry used to be a good choice, but his mind is clearly no longer what it used to be. Although you may not be the smartest, you are one of the most trusted Redwing members and you have others that can help and guide you. Besides, communication is no longer available if you haven't noticed.”

What Lenny was referring to was the system that would allow them to send messages to each other. The system had long become unreliable recently, they no longer could rely on it like before to help them out. This meant the need for a leader was more so than before.

At that moment, everyone was looking at Jack. They agreed with Lenny's reasoning and if they continued forward they would only do so under him. However, Jack couldn't forget about Ray. He didn't think getting to the fortress was more important than going after Ray.

Until a voice had entered his mind.

'I will find my master. You do not have to worry.'

Looking around, Jack was wondering where the voice was coming from, especially since no one else had seemed to hear it, until he saw a wolf standing behind the Redwing army looking his way.

'I am quicker than you, and my nose is just as sharp. I promise to bring him back to all of you, and you must promise to protect the people he cares about.' Noir said through her mind and before he could say anything.

She was already running off back down the tree.

”Alright, we move forward to the fortress. We will find out what happened here and at the village, but be prepared. Our enemy is there and it could possibly be them who had sent the beasts after us, we have to be prepared for anything. And Harry, leave the crystal to Van. That's an order!” Jack snarled at him towards the end, trying to put Harry in his place.

The group, ready to go, had their morale slightly boosted. They felt like Ray was someone who could never die, and with this in mind they finally had reached the fortress at the very top of the tree.
