Chapter 641 Breach

Chapter 641 Breach

A knock at the door caught Tessa's attention, and she opened the door to let a group of clerics in.

"Monarch, We have an urgent issue. There has been a line breach." The first cleric in the door exclaimed, only to pause in confusion as a server with a large cake on a cart pushed past him into the room, completely ignoring his panic.

"Continue, sir. There has been a line breach where? I take it that you need an Elite of my Rank, or you wouldn't be here in such a tizzy."

[Tizzy, that's a fun word. I like it.] Cara noted.

The cleric nodded rapidly, then a black robed figure appeared at his left.

"Overlord Niall." Karl greeted him.

More boots were stomping down the hallway, and Dana gave Karl a 'WTF is going on' sort of look.

Overlords Tabitha and Ahmad both burst into the room, skidding to a stop so they didn't bowl over the slower reacting clerics.

Karl cleared his throat. "First off, the advancement of my beasts didn't trigger a false invasion alarm, did it? There are a total of five Monarch Rank beasts with me now." Ahmad's fluffy blonde cat ears perked up as he smelled cake.

"Is that hazelnut and chocolate with strawberries? Oh, no, it wasn't you who panicked everyone this time. The Mountain Giants are pushing across the border at Soutle."

The Mage noticed Karl's confused look and continued.

"That's under a hundred kilometres west of here. We're hoping to stop the advance before we have to scramble the entire Capital Defence Force. We have portals." The Mage explained, holding up a parchment scroll that was most likely the portal spell in question.

Karl sighed. "Cara, Remi. Grab the cake. We will have to party later. Sybil, do we need to take measures, or will you behave while we're gone?" Sybil gave him a thumbs up and sent a message using the system's chat function. {I will go hang out with the others for the rest of the day. They were talking about wanting to learn to work as a team, and Lady Rae says to give them a chance.}

Karl nodded, and the Rogue ducked under the table, then vanished.

The leader of the Mountain Giant team stepped forward and began to speak in crude Common.

"Surrender now, and we will grant you a swift death." He demanded.

"I don't think that is going to work for us." Tabitha laughed as she brought out a massive two-handed blade.

The Giant nodded. "Then we will pin you to the city walls as your Capital falls, so you can watch the end of your pathetic church."

Karl noticed a shiny thing on the ground, and casually scooped it up into his inventory, then picked up a small stone.

"Hey, Tabs. What do you think the odds are that I can brain him with a rock?" Karl could see the vein pulsing in her forehead at the nickname, but the Mountain Giant was literally spluttering in rage.

Karl activated all of his buffs and coated the stone in Disintegration, then Nullify. His hand shot forward with the sharp crack of supersonic travel, and the stone rocketed towards its target.

Unfortunately, Karl was never a professional ball player, and even with his improved physical abilities, his aim wasn't quite up to that standard.

The [Nullify] spell on the stone shattered the Giant's defensive barrier, which then crashed into his helmet, sending the golden armour piece flying.

"Good thing we didn't bet." Karl muttered as the Giant staggered.

Niall snickered and winked at him before vanishing, then the fight was on.

The Giants surged forward as Tabitha recovered, and the Thor came out to defend the back line in Cerro form.

Behind Karl, Rae laughed. "They are so going to kill you for that. You should slap one to death while you have the chance. We didn't get to do it last time."

"Did nobody ever teach you the negotiation tactics of Giants, you psychopath." Tabitha muttered as she met the Giants' charge.

"We are negotiating. I learned this tactic from the Troll Emperor himself."
