Chapter 438: Chapter 189: Holy King
The Blood Race across the river cleared the bodies and dispatched their patrols again on this side.
The commander looked at Kana and the others.
He could understand less and less.
Just now, he could clearly see that those from the Blood Race, having recognized Kana and the others, became visibly intimidated after seeing that banner.
He really wanted to know what these Night Watchers had done to instill such fear in the Blood Race.
What did they do?
If you ask the commander of the Blood Race, they’d obviously know in their hearts.
The first deep impression left on them was from a year ago, when Kana and others crossed the Safro Border.
Back then, Blake, to draw attention for Kana and the others, made no secret of his mad crossing, brazenly escaping through such a siege and leaving behind many bodies along the way.
The total team was less than 100 people.
This incident dealt a significant blow to those ordinary Blood Race soldiers and officers.
After all, having just become Blood Race, either voluntarily or forcibly transformed into monsters for power, they encountered such an incident.
If these issues could be attributed to the arrogance of those Blood Race teams.
Then during this year,
The battle for the Gray Mountain Range taught them a harsh lesson.
The attack launched on the Gray Mountain Range by the former Princess, leader of the Mages, Cynthia.
Was completely blocked by the Dwarves on Gray Mountain, who were fighting under the name of the Night Watcher, and even directly flew the Night Watcher’s banner.
Indeed, quite a number of Half-Elves and humans were found among the Dwarf troops.
This was not terrifying.
The terrifying part was that in nearly a year’s time, they did not gain an inch, leaving behind many bodies.
Yet what did they gain?
They gained nothing.
Yes, they didn’t even take a single life.
This was almost a destructive blow to them.
At this moment, many of the soldiers within the Cohen Kingdom were rotated here.
Some officers could clearly see that the Night Watcher was using the Blood Race for training.
Because they found some Night Watcher would even close their eyes during battles out of fear.
Except for new recruits, they couldn’t think of anyone else who would do such a thing on a battlefield.
Yet even so, they still didn’t inflict a single casualty on the enemy.
An absolute shame and crush.
Even when the enemy was outnumbered.
The Night Watcher could even sometimes counterattack, but quickly gave up, as if intentionally letting them attack.
That place almost became a one-sided meat grinder for the Blood Race.
This message spread among the ranks of the soldiers at the Blood Race Royal Court.
This led to the current King having to revoke some of Cynthia’s command, halting the attacks on the Gray Mountain Range months ago.
This also indefinitely postponed the original plan to advance slowly eastward into the Eastern Wilderness after capturing half of the Cohen Kingdom’s territory.
The advancement turned into vigilance.
This showed the pressure the Night Watcher applied on the Blood Race at different places.
Even Kana and the others didn’t realize these pressures.
Only the Blood Race cultists felt increasingly hostile toward the Night Watcher.
At this moment, in the Blood Race military camp.
The Blood Race officer responsible for vigilance and patrol on this front line looked at the information.
"How did they get behind us?"
The Blood Race Knight beside him had a peculiar expression and didn’t answer immediately.
"What is it? Did they teleport over or something?"
The Blood Race Knight shook his head and sighed inexplicably, saying, "They crossed from the Eastern Wilderness all the way through, only revealing themselves at the last moment to launch their attack on us."
Hearing this, the officer stood up, looking at the Blood Race Knight as if he was a fool.
Then he pointed at himself: "Do I look like an idiot to you? Hah!?"
His voice was filled with anger.
You’re telling him that over a hundred people, riding Land Birds, such a large group traversed the area occupied by them, only revealing themselves at the border and delivering a heavy blow?
Not a single person noticed them before that?
What happened? Did the Blood Race’s blood inheritance cause their eyes, ears, and noses to malfunction?
The Blood Race Knight opened his mouth and finally nodded: "Yes, my lord, that’s the information we received.
You can even trace these Land Birds’ path directly to fully display their route.
They... they didn’t even bother to cover their tracks."
As he spoke, the Knight even took out a map.
This map astonishingly outlined the route Kana and the others had taken.
The officer snatched it up and scrutinized it.
The more he looked, the more his expression darkened.
The originally pale-green skin now looked almost purple.
Besides feeling ashamed, the dominant feeling was fear.
Because he discovered a terrifying fact.
According to this route, if backtracked with time, it really did perfectly avoid all their forces to reach here.
"Damn it! Damn it! Get this information to General Martin, now, immediately, right away!"
