347 Blackwind Falls (2/2)
”Stop being a pansy and go!!!” Blackarrow roared angrily.
Seeing how headstrong his Chief is, Razorleaf had no choice but to comply. He nodded silently with red eyes and left.
…
By the time Goldeneye reached the Blackwind Tribe, half of Blackwind City was already destroyed and almost overrun by the powerful Bone Army.
”This situation here is so much worse than what I had imagined! It is already too late! The Blackwind Tribe is finished! I must quickly report back to the Chief, so we can have ample time to prepare for what's to come!”
Goldeneye was shocked.
The city was on fire and smoldering thick black smoke billowed into the night skies while towering white giants bulldoze their way through the fallen city.
”Hm?”
Goldeneye was about to pat his Dark Wyvern and take off when he suddenly noticed a situation in the city's northern parts.
”There are still people left! They are trying to break free from the encirclement and flee north!” Goldeneye concluded after a short observation.
To help or not to help?
He was told to retreat if he found the situation too dangerous, but he cannot ignore the lives of so many people! He must stay true to his Warrior's Way and honor the alliance! After a short moment of hesitation, Goldeneye made his decision. He must help!
”Let's go, pal. Let us help these people out and give them a chance at life!” Goldeneye rubbed Dark Wyverns neck.
Roar!
The Dark Wyvern gave a mighty roar in response to his words and began its dive with great speed towards a group of Bone Knights on the ground.
”Mama, look! It is a Dark Wyvern! A Dark Wyvern coming straight at us!” A child pointed at the sky and exclaimed while being carried by a female warrior.
”Oh no, what bad luck! Why is there a Dark Wyvern! Are we destined to die here?!” Another female warrior wailed in anguish.
At this moment, the Blackwind Tribe had less than 7000 people left. While the warriors led the charge and fought their way through the 30 thousand Bone Knights on the northern side in a wedge-like formation.
Razorleaf was at the forefront of the group, but he still managed to slip a quick peek at the sky before his eyes lit up.
”That Dark Wyvern belongs to the Dark Wyvern Rider, Goldeneye of Darkmoon Tribe! Help is here, everyone! Charge with me!” Razorleaf roared with hope.
”Dark Wyvern Rider, Goldeneye?! I've heard of him! Ah, I also want a flying mount! How envious!”
”Now is not the time to be worrying about that!”
The warriors were evidently rattled with excitement by Goldeneye's arrival with their chatter.
Although the Dark Wyvern tamed by Goldeneye had yet to reach adulthood, its strength was still comparable to a Rank 1 Transcendent. After all, Dark Wyverns were one of the superior species among the Dark Continent's demonic beasts.
”Goldeneye, my brother! You are late!”
After the Dark Wyvern swooped down and clawed through the crowd of Bone Knights with its powerfully sharp talons, Goldeneye raised an eyebrow and shouted, ”Better late than never!”
”Hahaha, and for that, we are very grateful!” Razor laughed excitedly. When he failed to see anyone else coming, he asked, ”Where're the others?!”
”I'm the only one! The rest of my team are still on their way! I can only assist your people in fleeing from here! As for your city, I am sorry to say this, but it is f*ked!”
”Dammit!”
Razorleaf was rather disappointed to hear this. He thought there was hope in overturning the situation and reclaiming their city, but that hope was quickly dashed.
In the end, they were still forced to abandon their city! Their home!
