“We need to go warn the others!” Tess stressed,her body as she prepared to jurabbed her wrist “I’ll warn everyone You need to go get your teammates You have a mission”

“That beast horde is more than a day early, Art! The people here aren’t prepared for this I should stay and—”

“That’s what I’m here for, Tess,” I cut in fir captain I won’t go as far as to order you to leave, but if things are looking bad here, I suspect the troops requesting for backup in Elenoirit worse”

There was a tense htened in frustration, but she finally relented “Fine I’ll gather ”

“Good Even if you are at an advantage in the forest, be careful,” I replied with a gentle smile

“That’s what I wanted to say, duo and walked toward the edge of the cliff, I foundmy own lips in a daze

Tess sing on the chain of her leaf charazes with me “Remember the promise”

I smiled back, all too aware of how hotuparound my neck

And like that, Tess ju down like an e myself that what I said to her was for the best I didn’t want her to stay here Even if she was one of the few es in this continent that wouldn’t slow o all out without worrying about her

“General Please, reconsider Allow us to accompany you,” Gavik’s deep voice resounded

I looked at the burly adventurer and the curly-haired e beside him “As I said before, your job will be to support the troops here”

Callum spoke up, frustration evident in his voice “Commander Virion had personally picked the two of us to assist you in battle If so you by yourself—”

“Please excuse the intrusion Father, I brought the weapons you asked for,” a clear voice rang
