Chapter 295: We do that and we’d be handsomely rewarded!
Mhm-mhm, it seems Im a bit tired already
Thats not it, Ganzasu. Youre not seeing things. I understand why you have trouble accepting it, but I really did fly in the sky riding that thing.
Afterward, Queen Maribel introduced us.
They had saved us from a pack of Evil Hyenas. Theyve mentioned they came from somewhere outside of the desert. As for this mysterious power they have, they say its thanks to a Gift.
A Gift? You mean that nearly legendary power?
Apparently, no one in the desert kingdoms had a Gift.
Which probably stemmed from not having anyone who had the [Oracle] Gift, the Gift needed to perform the rite of blessing on someone.
Our village was lucky enough to have Millia, but since it was an extremely rare Gift, a place needed to have a large population before one could even expect it to appear. It wasnt impossible, just improbable.
To give an example, no one in the beastmen settlements had such a Gift.
By the way, as long as one had the potential to bear the [Oracle] Gift, it seemed like they could unlock it by their own, without anyone performing the rite of blessing on them. At least, that was what happened with Millia.
And once there was at least one who had [Oracle], increasing the number of Gift-bearers in an area becomes possible.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Anyway, how many have arrived so far?
at the moment, about 50 people.
Ganzasu-san seemed to have trouble answering Queen Maribels question.
50, huh
So thats the woman we gotta nab! We do that and wed be handsomely rewarded! Gyahahaha!
Each of the sand raiders made weird noises.
Theyrenot very bright, are they?
Damn! We must fight back! Their numbers mean nothing against our walls! Show those traitors the might of Enbalas soldiers!
Queen Maribel shouted so and the soldiers replied Oooo! loudly and in unison.
And so, on top of the hardened-sand wall, we waited for the attackers to arrive.
Hyahaa! Think that weak-ass wall can protect you!?
Sand lizards! Keep charging and smash that wall!
Shaaaa!!
The sand raiders whipped the sand lizards and the latter charged forward with more force.
What!?
G-get away!
Given that the sand lizards were about 5 meters long each, their sped-up charge would likely demolish the wall made of sand right away.
Realizing that the enemies were intent on making the monsters collide with the wall, Queen Maribel gave that command. Just as about they were about to get down thoughI transformed the sand wall into one that was made of stone.
