Chapter 1301 - A Battle in the Snow (1/2)
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
White thought he was going to die when the strange gray bird zoomed toward the mountain.
The only thing he was thinking at that moment was that he should have not come all the way here to do business!
He blamed those sailors!
Had those sailors not been so envious of coachmen and also started to transport refugees, he would not have had to come to the interior of the Kingdom of Wolfheart.
He simply wanted to earn more money and survive the fierce competition!
He had not expected that this time, he would encounter real demons.
He could probably still survive as long as he ran faster than the other refugees. However, when the strange birds appeared in the sky, he knew that he was doomed.
No men could outrun something that had wings, not to mention that he only had one leg.
White buried his head in his arms and knelt down. “God, please send your pious believer to the divine land you created after he dies and make sure that he has endless gold royals to squander…”
But the weird birds did not tear him to pieces. Instead, they produced a series of familiar sounds.
He had heard similar “neighing sounds” at the Sedimentation Bay. When the Graycastle men fired, those sounds would reverberate across the whole battlefield. Within just half an hour, the invincible knights from the Tusk and the Redstone Family were all reduced to ashes.
Did the Graycastle men came to their rescue?
White looked up gingerly and saw the most incredible scene in his life.
A jet of silver white flash erupted from the head of the strange bird. As if it had consciousness, the flash reached the demons. The snow was kicked up into the sky, and the demons fell down one after another, as though the flash contained indefinite power.
He was flabberghasted.
What excited White more was that the demons were also caught totally unprepared. They not only stopped chasing them but also started to flee.
“Mr. White, what, what’s that?” some refugees asked tremulously.
White shook his head involuntarily, and suddenly, a bold idea flashed across his mind.
White pinched his leg and forced himself to stand up. He spread out his arms at the horrified refugees and yelled in a quavering voice, “Don’t be scared. This is the Graycastle army I told you before! I summoned them here!”
“Graycastle men?” the refugees echoed in disbelief. “From the sky?”
“That’s right!”
“Do you mean… that we’ll be saved?”
“For now, yes, but it’s not free. Indeed, their service is quite expensive! I don’t have much savings, and I don’t know when they’ll leave — ”
Before White could finish, the excited crowd interrupted him, “Don’t let them go! I’m willing to pay double!”
“I’ll pay two silver royals!”
“If I could arrive at the Sedimentation Bay safe and sound, I’ll give you my gold ring!”
“And me as well…”
The refugees, who had been desperate just a moment ago, again burst into life as they saw a ray of hope.
“I’ll deliver your message to the Graycastle men. Now, please follow me. Well, my leg doesn’t work properly. Can someone carry me on the back?”
“I’ll do it!” a burly man answered and immediately carried White on his back.
In that way, White did not have to be worried that he would fall behind.
If everything went well, he would probably retrieve his carriage with the money from the refugees.
White did not mind telling a little lie. The most important thing now was to raise the morale and help all of them escape.
“Don’t be panic. Open your eyes and watch the others’ footprints. Make sure that you don’t roll down the mountain!” White instructed on the man’s back at the front as the latter ran toward the foot of the mountain.
