64 Pearl City Defense 1 (1/2)
”...!”
Rainer shouted with all his strength, his words seemed to be imbued with magic making everyone who heard him feel they were facing a King instead of a teenager.
Alisha smiled after listening to Rainer.
”That is why you... ” She muttered as she grabbed Dexia who had started to cry.
”...”
Liann turned around and looked directly at Rainer.
”Rainer, if you follow this path, you will only cause your death and the fading of your people...”
”Do you want to be a hero? Go ahead, get out there and die, do you think someone is going to care about what a brat like you think? No! Humans don't care about anyone but themselves! That's why I am trying to educate you to realize the truth and ugliness of this world!” Said Liann coldly.
”...”
Rainer remained silent, he knew in his heart that Liann was right, his selfishness would only end up killing him, he didn't want to be a hero either, but he couldn't leave when he knew that a massacre would happen in this city.
”I'm weak, but I'm not alone, I have this too!”Said Rainer as he lifted his left wrist, in it an onyx bracelet absorbed the moonlight.
”...”
Liann looked at the bracelet with mixed feelings, if she hadn't worn it, they would have an army of demons now... although the group had killed many beasts and people during their journey, it couldn't compare to the previous Irkalia's bracelet condition!
”It will not help you against all these beasts...” Said Liann.
”That's why I need your help, I told you I have a plan.” Said Rainer as he smiled confidently.
Sigh...
...
Troy gathered all available forces in Pearl City.
A group of beastmen mercenaries whose leaders were in the Core Formation stage, a small clan that was founded in Pearl City and Rainer's group.
”What's a brat doing here?” Asked Kradlo, the head of the Hungry Fang mercenaries.
Kradlo belonged to the Bearman tribe, his huge body and thick fur were his most powerful weapon!
”Their group killed one of the beasts yesterday...”
”They know more about those beasts than any of us.” Said Troy as he nodded to Rainer.
”...Tsk. ”Kradlo didn't seem satisfied but he decided to keep quiet.
”Cough...we are gathered under emergency because a dozen giant magical beasts are approaching our home, Pearl City!”
”I have already ordered to fortify the walls and prepare the defenses, but against beasts of such height and power, a wall will not be enough to stop them... ” Said Troy with a hopeless voice.
”What is the plan?” Asked Ron Willford, the patriarch of the Willford clan in Pearl City.
