Chapter 252: Carnage
A terrifying and chaotic scene welcomed Rosalind the moment she arrived at the other wall. The large number of monstrous creatures moving together towards the walls made the ground tremble with each step that they took. Roars and howls filled the air, creating an ominous and unsettling atmosphere.
Rosalind could feel the thick fear in the air. She could sense dread as soldiers lined up with their bows and arrows, ready to face such an overwhelming force that looked nearly impossible to defeat.
"What is the situation?" Magda asked Arriane who was leading the archers.
"This is This is the first time that I have seen such intensity in those beasts' gaze," Arriane said. "I"
"Where are the others?" Rosalind asked as she held Magda's shoulders. "Magda will be the first one to attack, the other people will follow and" Rosalind then turned around. She thought she saw a familiar face when she arrived here.
Sadly, she could not point out where that man was.
Amid the chaos, she was not even sure if it was just her hallucination.
"It's done you may go now," Rosalind said.
"Can she do it alone?"
"She needs to be there to boost the morale of everyone else." Rosalind did not need to talk to every one of the soldiers to know what they were thinking. To them, victory seemed impossible.
They needed to change that mindset.
They needed a boost.
Just as Rosalind was about to give Arriane some enhancements, she spotted a black-haired man staring at her.
"Captain Gaudy!" Rosalind said.
"You"
Rosalind removed her hood. She forgot that when she met them; she was wearing a mask and now, she was wearing her real face. The moment Gaudy looked at her, he immediately tensed.
"It is me!" Rosalind approached the captain.
"Duchess Rothley" Captain Gaudy lowered his head. "I do not know how you knew this lowly one, but it is a pleasure to be in your presence."
Rosalind chuckled.
"Lady Rosie, may I know who this is?"
"A good captain that the Duke and I met in one of our endeavors."
"The The Duke?"
"Duke Lucas," Rosalind said. "We were wearing some skin mask so you"
Captain Gaudy's eyes widened. He covered his mouth with his hand. "That was That was His Grace?"
"I am happy to see you alive," Rosalind smiled. While she wanted to catch up, she had no time for it as there were a large number of ferocious beasts gathering outside of the walls.
"Where are the others?" Rosalind asked.
"They Oi! Valentin! Valentin!"
Rosalind looked to her left and found Valentin talking to another man. Both of them were already wearing the black uniform of the ordinary military in Wugari.
She was glad to see that they were alive and well, but she could not help but wonder why they were wearing normal military clothes when they have the skills to fight against those monsters.
"Captain this Duchess Rothley!" Valentin smiled. Out of nowhere, he grabbed Rosalind's hand and kissed the back of his palm. "It is a pleasure. My name is Valentin."
"Where is Elias?" Rosalind asked.
"Ah? You You know our names?"
"I have no time to explain. Meet me in that barracks a few minutes from now. I still have some things to attend to. The Captain will tell you everything." The reason why Rosalind was very excited to meet them is that she could not wait to have her own people!
Elias and Valentin were two Blessed people! They are perfect!
She turned around and nodded at Arriane.
"We should start," Rosalind said. She touched Arriane's soldiers as she spotted two other people whom she should give her Blessings to assist Magda. It took her a couple of minutes to enhance Arriane's ability before she started with the two.
After giving her Blessings to a total of four people, she, along with Arriane, walked towards the watchtower.
She looked at Magda, who was fighting with one of the beasts. Suddenly, another beast charged forward, leaping into the air, and attempted to scale the wall. This time, Arriane quickly showed her prowess by firing three arrows at the same time. All of them landed in the beast's eye.
The beast let out a loud growl full of pain as it fell down.
"Stand strong!" Arriane said. "We will protect our homeland!"
"To Wugari!" Arriane continued.
Almost immediately, the soldiers said in chorus. "To Wugari!"
"To our families!"
"To our families!"
"To our lands!"
"To our lands!"
"We will win!"
"We will win!"
After this, Arriane started instructing the archers. Seeing that the situation wasn't as dire as she originally thought, she sent the other two people to help Magda. Only one of those two men was working for Lucas. He was a warrior carrying an enormous sword behind his back.
The moment his feet landed on the ground, he immediately used his sword to cut through the scales of the beasts nearby.
He faced the beast with calm determination as he began his own carnage.
Rosalind narrowed. 'What was his name again?' She wondered.
The man was always silent, only saying a word or two. This was, of course, not a big deal. His fighting prowess, however, was different. He was a monster!
"Gamaryl," Arriane said. "Is his name."
"Thank you," Rosalind said. She looked at the other one who came from the Etonde Family. He was huge, about six foot seven or eight, with a really bulky body. He was carrying a large axe and used it like a deadly sword.
With the two more people wreaking havoc on the tide, it was easier for Rosalind to feel at ease.
This was her first time in a place like this and, to be honest, she was not expecting to still act calm. Was it because she can be considered someone old?
"I will go to the barracks." She looked at Arriane, who stood firmly next to her. In fact, Arriane isn't that tall. She was a few inches shorter than Rosalind. Yet, right now, with her black-and-white uniform, she looked like a strong boulder standing next to the weak Rosalind.
"Do you need me?"
"No. I can go there alone. Send someone to call me if the situation worsens."
With that, she walked down the stairs only to see someone whom she recognized. Isn't that Duke Moller's son? Clinton Moller from Lonyth?
....
A/N: Clinton was in that small town in Lonyth with the Wolf King. His father is Duke Moller. Don't forget to vote!
