Chapter 157 - The Last Stand (VI) (2/2)
Queen Tanya is still discussing things when the messenger falcon that I saw while we are in Southern Oasis appeared once more and landed on Queen Tanya's throne. She gave the falcon some meat treats before she grabs the letter on its feet and started reading it. After a few seconds, she sighed and turned to look at us.
”Pioneers. It seems the time has come for everyone to show their worth. The dragon is now approaching and will reach this place in 2 hours if not defeated. The demons and monsters are also attacking now. Make haste.”
”Huh? 2 hours!? How can we get to the dragon as soon as possible?” the female warrior asked and she panicked a little bit.
”Don't worry, Bladeheart here will handle the transport to the dragon since it walking will just not be enough for everyone to reach the dragon on time and by the time you arrived, everyone will be exhausted. Bladeheart, if you please. Things are dire and we need your steed.”
”Understood. Everyone follow me outside.”
Queen Tanya stopped us for a bit. ”Everyone, may the tides of destiny guide you to the proper path.”
...
After that, I headed outside the castle and went to the open field where there are no obstacles that will trouble us. The players who were not sure what will happen looked at me with confusion while Dolly and Harmless Sparrow already knows what Queen Tanya meant by ”transport”.
”What are we going to do now?” the other players asked.
”Please wait a bit.”
I put my two fingers on my mouth and whistled. It wasn't loud but the sound traveled quite a distance. Everyone is looking around, waiting for something to happen until they hear Leona's cry up in the air. They quickly pointed out the incoming Leona at high speed.
Leona landed on the ground and everyone is stunned.
”We will be heading to the dragon using my gryphon to arrive as soon as possible. She can fly very fast if she flies full speed and we will arrive at our intended location in just a few minutes.”
”A gryphon?! Is this a pay-to-win pet or something?! How come I didn't see this on the store?”
”No, this was not available in the store. I don't see any options that we can obtain a pet too if we pay money. Maybe it is an event-only exclusive pet that is available during this quest and can only be summoned by a captain?”
”Maybe that is the case!”
I wanted to reveal to them that Leona is mine and not being given out in the event but I decided not to do so because it would be great to see their reactions once they knew it was mine all along.
Harmless Sparrow and Dolly are the first to climb up since they are already familiar with Leona. They patted her head first before riding on her back.
”Everyone else should climb up too since we are running out of time. Also hold tight because if someone fell while we are going to the Dragon, I won't bother picking them back up. It's going to be a bumpy ride!”
