Chapter 145: Hero
Located at the very boundary of the territory of humanity and Demi-humans, a vast plain valley surrounded by towering mountains dividing the two greatest forces of the world.
In the middle of the enormous grassland was a great army taking their rest after days of continuous travel. 100,000 warriors clad with their white armors and swords on their waist were gathered and resting on the grassy land beneath the light of the descending sun, at the same time, some of them were working on building their fabric tents to spend the night in.
Each of the knights possessed great pride in their own abilities that no other kingdoms of humanity could even compete with. Known as the strongest military force of humanity and the one sitting at the top of the power hierarchy. The army of the Holy land of Amarantha.New novel chapters are published on
In the middle of the formation, could be found a white carriage clad with high-quality steel for walls and tires that were hard enough not to be destroyed by simple attacks. While the 5 white horses pulling them were at rest. From the location of the carriage, a messenger hawk flew out and traveled towards the location where it came from... from the direction of the kingdom of Erela.
"What did the letter from Melanie say, Commander Liam?" Standing with both valiance and elegance while wearing his full body armor, The hero Karsus inquired with such an authoritative but soothing voice. His helmeted head was pointing in the direction of the messenger hawk flying in the sky.
Commander Liam put down the paper and shifted his gaze towards Karsus. He slowly shook his head. "Melanie said that there are already 10 kingdoms that have arrived at the location we are designated to meet. However, due to our absence and due to the idea that the kingdom of Erela has finally lost its barrier..." He slowly exhaled. "The army of the 10 kingdoms that arrived first agreed to attack the kingdom of Erela on their own. Their assault will start sooner than we intended and without us to lead it."
For a few seconds, both of them remained silent while gazing at the descending sun in the sky.
"Humanity, what a stubborn race," Karsus said in such a calm manner.
"Should we increase our movement to catch up on them, Sir Karsus?" Commander Liam raised both of his hands while waiting for Karsus's response.
Even though his face was hidden in his helmet, his gentle voice was audible as he laughed. "You have been saying that phrase in every place we stopped by."
"Am I? Maybe I am. But you can't blame me though, I have been stuck in the church for years since I was proclaimed as a priestess. All those times, all I could see were the walls of the church. To think that back when I wasn't yet proclaimed as one, I was free and I could do everything and go everywhere I wanted to. Now, I am stuck in that uneventful place while living an uneventful life."
"Priestess, that's not how a priestess should talk. Everyone could hear you." Commander Liam said in a teasing manner while smiling.
"It's fine, Commander Liam," Karsus said.
Commander Liam just shrugged. "If the hero himself said it's fine, then it's fine."
The priestess chuckled. She stared in the direction of their destination. "Karsus, You told me that the tree of Erela was so massive I could see it from afar. I still can't see it. Does that mean we're still very far from it?"
"Yes, we are. And we still have a long journey to go through before we arrive at that place. However, just don't think too much about it and just enjoy our journey... I will assure you, before you know it we're already there." He turned his gaze towards the descending sun. "Although, we won't stay at that place for long. Because we are going to accomplish our mission very quickly."
The priestess nodded. "Good. Though, I already missed Melanie. I hope she's doing fine there even though she's alone in her mission."
"Don't worry, she's doing more than fine," Karsus replied.
