Chapter 820: Betty Is The Fastest



"I know I teleported us all here but..." Betty who sat above the carriage mumbled, tilting her head to the side with a worried face. "I don't have a good feeling about this."

"It'll be a massacre if they tried to fight Arad." Aella said as she looked at the carriage's ceiling, "Arad isn't that soft to let them live, and even if he doesn't attack, they'll die of the curse."

"Mistress Doma wouldn't let them go even if Arad did." Betty sighed. "But I'm not sure if us trying to stop them would help."

"I know how kingdoms work." Isdis said, "The soldiers aren't at fault, they are just following orders. If they were ordered to attack, they would do so without even knowing what awaits them. Unless we get some sense into the royal families of those kingdoms, hundreds of thousands of people would die to Arad."

"Sir Gojo had gone to deal with that bone, isn't he?" Flatail who was sitting with them inside the carriage said, "Shouldn't we wait for him?"

"We don't know how long it'll take him and kingdoms act quickly in situations like this. It'll be a disaster if they launch an attack at Arad before we stop them, we don't have time to waste." Isdis looked at him with a gentle smile. "Shouldn't you be resting? Gojo just dropped you with us an hour ago."

"For what I've seen from Lord Arad, I doubt Sir Gojo who is his older brother could fall short. The lord was a monster, far above anything I've ever seen, and I've seen Tempo rampaging." Flatail looked out of the window at Tempo who was riding beside the carriage on a horse.

Flatail sighed, "I do agree, if anyone fought the lord, they'll die. I've literally seen him wipe far more horrifying cities." Flatail could remember as Arad blasted the abomination colonies one after another, to what those could do, a human kingdom was nothing more than a grass dam.

"I know Arad is strong. But is it really to that point?" Merlin looked at Flatail, "You've told us how large and scary those cities were, but I find it hard to believe."

"It's up to you to believe me or not. But it's indeed wise to fear for the humans, Lord Arad would be fine." He nodded.

"We aren't worrying about them." Aella looked at him. "If Arad killed them it could cause us troubles in the future. We want to avoid that."

"By attacking them first?" Betty teleported into the carriage and fell on Aella's lap. "I doubt it's wise."

"They aren't listening to reason." Isdis looked at her, "They want to get Arad's power, but they refuse to believe it's my husband. They think we're trying to deceive them to take the power for ourselves."

"So it doesn't matter what we say, it'll always be a trick to them so we should just protect Arad until he can move freely." Aella turned toward Eris and Merida, "You two are our heaviest hitters, don't charge in blindly. We'll talk with them first; we'll fight later if that is needed."

"I'm better at magic and she's better at swordplay." Eris looked at Merida, "You're our best- ranged attack. You can snipe people from kilometers away by using wind magic." She then turned toward Aella.

"I'm starting to understand wind magic after studying what Zephyr said." She looked at Merlin, "The freeing process?"

"Still need Arad to test the labyrinth and rule control. I asked Gojo, but he said that it has to be Arad to do it. I don't know what he's thinking, but we'll have to wait." She sighed, "He said he prefers to take a hands-off approach and will only help when he is the only possible option."

"So if he went to check on Arad then it means..." Betty scratched her head, "He's the only one who can approach him now. Won't the armies just die?"

"They can try to blast Arad with large-scale magic from afar." Aella replied, "Ritual spells done by several high mages at once, they could even summon a meteor swarm to wipe armies and small nations. If they hit Arad with one, he's bound to fight back."

"Spells of mass destruction... I doubt they would pull that. It can kill their mages and leave them vulnerable."

Inside the carriage, Eris was already about to walk out and punch everyone. They need to get there quickly, the kingdoms are about to attack Arad.

BLING! Betty appeared beside the carriage and walked inside, drenched in sweat. "I'm back."

"You're back?" Merlin looked at her, "How did it go?"

"Stripped them all, let the horses run away, cut any scroll that was unprotected and I even cut

the wheels on his supply carriages." Betty replied, barely able to speak as she gasped for air. "It's mayhem there." She smiled.

"Sir, I said we can't let you in." The commander of the border guards approached Tempo who insisted they get in.

"What now?" Betty looked out, "They aren't letting us in?"

The commander looked at her, "A kid? No, you're a halfling. I can't let you in as the kingdom

is in crisis, you'll have to wait for clearance from the capital. It'll be sent by magic, so you have to wait at least until tomorrow."

"Listen, kid." Betty looked at him with an exhausted face, calling him a kid even though he looked to be in his late forties. "I'm not going to hurt; no one here is going to hurt you no matter what. But this is a warning, let us in, or you'll be the one to regret it."

He giggled, "It's not my responsibility. You're staying here even if the kingdom burned to

ash."

"I'm not talking about the kingdom. Kid." She flashed but seemed to remain in her place. She extended her closed fist to him, "Here, this is for you."

"I do not take bribes." He growled.

"This isn't a bribe." She shook her fist, and he took what she held. A deep gasp escaped his lips as his hands started to shake. "You recognize them, don't you? Can we enter?" "How did you get them?" He glared at her. She had handed him his wife's underwear, even though his family was on the other side of the kingdom, hundreds of kilometers away. "Let them in. They are a bit of a special case." The commander growled, clenching his fist on

the underwear.

"Are you sure?" The guard beside him asked, he didn't know what happened.

"Let them in." The commander said, looking forward with an angry face.

"But we didn't check their papers or cards yet... we were reserving that for tomorrow when we get the orders..." The guard said with a worried face.

"I said let them in! It's already too late to inspect them, and we don't need to." He waved his hands at the other guards blocking the road. "Let them pass."

After the carriages passed, the guard approached the commander. "Something was off about them, should we send someone to follow them?"

"Don't. We better not get involved with them." He looked at him, "I suspect that halfling is a world power. I can't explain her any other way." To a normal person, what Betty did seemed beyond magic.
