Chapter 25 (1/2)
Chapter 25
When the battle is over, cleaning up is important.
More so in the North. Because demon tribes must leave something when they die.
“Here it is.”
A soldier picked something up from the floor. There was a light that sparkled when she received it.
Leticia asked.
“What’s that?”
“Ah.”
The soldier came up quickly and showed Leticia. It was the size of an adult’s fingernail.
“Life Stone, Ma’am. When Stone Golem dies, it falls off the back of their necks.”
He continued with a faint smile.
“It makes a lot of money.”
“Oh!”
Leticia immediately searched the floor.
The old ladies are already rattling away.
There should be a total of 100 life stones in here.
Of course, there were other trophies.
Leticia found a piece of paper in a campsite at the White Knights. It was a map showing the route to Halstead Castle.
There was also a big cage there, which had life stones in it.
“Golem Birds, let’s get them to communicate.”
Casaro explained.
“No matter where they fly, they will go towards the opponent’s cage. If we have this cage, the communications team from Kurak’s will fly here.”
“That’s good!”
Leticia glanced up at the birdcage.
I took all the life stones, the telecommunication tools, the cages, and all the other valuable spoils, and it became a big burden.
Eight people came back to the carriage. She hurried back to the castle in excitement., and it took a whole day.
The captain of the guard was hanging around the courtyard of the castle. When they came back, they were greeted with a halo.
“Have you been well, Madam?”
“Yes.”
Leticia replied.
At the same time, the soldiers plumped down the sack. The muzzle opened and things poured out of it.
It was Stone Golem’s life stone.
The captain of the guard and the soldiers were so surprised that their eyes popped out.
“Isn’t this?”
Other people gathered when they heard the buzzing sound.
It was piled up like a mountain, not just a stone or two. It meant that tons of Stone Golems were dead.
“What happened?”
Everyone looked at Leticia with puzzled faces.
The guard asked with a blink of an eye.
“Where the hell did you come from?”
“It’s nothing. It’s just that we were stuck on a road…”
Alexa replied in a calm tone.
“I’m back from killing the Stone Golem White Knights.”
What…?
Everyone was shocked.
There was a tumult throughout the castle.
“Did the Mistress annihilate the White Knights with five soldiers?”
“Well, the three old grannies were there with me…”
“But how is that possible?”
“It’s true anyway! That’s the proof of all that life stone there is!”
The news naturally caused a huge sensation. No one knew what the hell happened.
That’s all they knew. There were all sorts of speculations. This story had inflated and even more, above the excited sky of Halstead.
Suddenly a shrill metallic sound of birds rang out. The excited people stopped talking and looked up.
“Keeek!
A strange bird is flying in. It seemed to be made due to the life stones.
It was a communication bird sent by Kurax.
The bird flew straight into the cage at the window of the command room of Halstead. Leticia quickly locked the cage.
I thought it might not be able to come because of the fog of oblivion, but it was a useless worry. I couldn’t win even the homing instinct of the bird finding its place.
“Let’s see.”
Leticia unraveled a message tied to the ankle of a bird.
Kurax, who is leading the advance team, wrote and sent the note.
He must have thought that the White Knights would receive this message.
The White Knights are already wiped because of Leticia, and the birdcage moved to Halstead Castle.
How on earth can Kurax guess that?
Leticia rolled up the letter of Kurax and put it on the corner of her desk.
“Shall I meet this guy, too?”
