Escape
"So many crowmen!? The entire crowmen of Gayn Forest have come?"
The sheer number of crow-men, nearly 100,000, completely obscured the convoy.
Even the Vice Commander Hydra, was shocked by the scene.
However, the Raven People are actually Wild Monster, created by the "humanization" of crows affected by pollution and the consciousness of the dead in the Gayn Forest.
Although it is neutral in nature, it is inherently inclined to evil, since crows are carrion-eating creatures.
Unsure of the purpose of this group of crow-men, a brown lion running alongside Hydra inquired:
"Vice Commander, should we drive these crows away?"
"Escape is a big problem, let alone how to drive away such a large number of crows. The primary and greatest threat is the complete lock-in of our 'Old King'."
If we are caught, I can at most ensure the safety of two core members.
It's strange, the crow people don't usually take large-scale actions... It's worth taking a gamble, a gamble that these crow people are all on our side and intend to help us escape.
Do not disturb them before I give the order.
"Yes, ma'am."
Hydra looked up at the sky full of crow-men, among whom were even a few "Three-Headed Priest" who had reached the level of [Otherworldly Demons]... If the Knight Order of crow-men, they would have to pay a certain price.
Not to mention the "former king" chasing after them.
Now we can only hope that the Crow People are on the side of the Knight Order.
Inside a six-person carriage.
Those who had witnessed Han Dong's close relationship with the crows immediately thought of Han Dong when they saw the dense flock of crows.
Wenli asked first, "Vice Captain... these crow people wouldn't happen to be...?"
"Um..."
Han Dong simply nodded slightly and did not reply further.
Staring at the flock of crows in the sky, Lesser Demon Eye spotted several very unusual crow-people.
It has three heads on its neck.
The feathers also come in other colors (red, blue, purple).
He held an ancient wooden staff decorated with feathers.
It even seemed as if multiple eyes were hidden among their feathers, constantly observing the entire forest environment.
The whole thing exudes a very heavy 'crow-like' aura.
"Is this the elder of the tribe that Duoze Crow mentioned? His level seems very high... Has he reached the [Otherworldly Demon] level?"
Currently, the staff held by the "elder" is radiating a strange energy, and ethereal raven feathers are appearing within it.
There are four such elders.
Elders scattered across different regions simultaneously performed this secret technique.
Black ripples spread outwards from them.
Any crow-men touched by the ripples would transform into a special kind of Black Feather and fall down.
The feathers that these crow-people transformed into would spontaneously adhere to the surface of the Knight Order ' carriages.
Each raven feather attached reduces the overall weight of the carriage, while also reducing wind resistance and providing a slight propulsion.
The effect of a single feather is not very noticeable.
But when a hundred feathers are attached, the effect becomes quite powerful.
Apart from the elders.
Almost all the crow people transformed into such feathers, covering the entire caravan, which greatly increased the overall speed of their journey.
If things continue like this, perhaps we can survive.
At that moment, Han Dong sensed something approaching and immediately opened the carriage door.
Gaa~~
A distinctive crow with a ring of blue feathers around its neck swiftly flew into the carriage.
Upon landing, it immediately transformed into a "three-headed crow-man".
A powerful aura emanated from it, stronger than any of the family cadres in the manor... This was one of the elders of the Crowman Tribe in the Gayn Forest.
The eyes on the three heads, as well as the eyes hidden among the feathers, were all staring at Han Dong.
Immediately, all three crows lowered their heads slightly.
These elders were able to completely Mimicry human speech, uttering a relatively standard form of English:
"My lord! The arrival of the ' Ghoul King ' is a great calamity for the Gayn Forest. This is all we can do for you... We hope to help you return safely to the human settlement."
Thank you.
"My lord, I need to confirm something... One of the crow people in my tribe who follows you, ' Duoze Crow,' mentioned that you are willing to provide us with a 'sanctuary'?"
In the presence of others, the elders used the term 'sanctuary' instead of 'land deed' to refer to the large estate.
"That's right."
"Very well! The Crowman Tribe eagerly awaits your arrival, sir..."
After speaking, the elder left the carriage, leaving behind his astonished companions.
"Everyone, I hope you can keep my affairs with the Crow Humans a secret," Han Dong solemnly instructed.
"Must!"
Abel's opinion of Han Dong has completely changed.
Without the help of these crow people, this "training camp" would most likely have ended in total annihilation.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every step the "old king" takes, which is chasing behind, will cause a high-intensity earthquake.
Because the movement of the "Old King" exceeded the maximum bearing capacity of the crust in the Gayn Forest, deep fissures stretching up to a kilometer have appeared in many areas.
Wherever the palm landed, the trees were destroyed.
Wherever the "Old King" touches the land, a large number of dark green tentacles will grow, and an extremely terrifying plague will begin to spread in the Gayn Forest.
Even if one manages to escape various disasters and survive by sheer luck.
However, if one accidentally looks directly at the true face of this former king, one will immediately be unable to bear it and either self-destruct or lose one's form.
Countless evil spirits and Wild Monster that inhabited the forest perished in this catastrophe.
However, the team is in a better situation.
"At this speed... we can survive!!"
Riding on a python Hydra swam at the very front of the procession.
With the help of raven feathers, it has a feeling of completely counteracting gravity and adapting to various terrains.
Even Though the strong tremors behind them caused large-scale changes in the terrain, they were still able to travel smoothly through the forest...
With the guidance of the fully transformed beast knights and the assistance of tens of thousands of crowmen.
The entire convoy sped out of the [Gayn Forest].
We are currently only 8,000 meters away from the gates of the Holy City.
The arrival of such a catastrophic Old King, with his colossal, sky-covering form... there was absolutely no need to send out a signal flare.
Staring at the hundred-meter-high city walls of the Holy City, most of the Knight-Errant in the carriage breathed First Year.
Most people have already imagined the scene of the city gates opening wide, the Knight Order mobilizing, and the powerful City Wall Cannon joining forces to fight against this old king.
indeed.
Commander Kaimon, riding his mammoth mount, led the main force of the Behemoth Knight Order, awaiting the opening of the city gates.
Also accompanying them were the Plague Knights, the Black Rose Knights, and the Holy Knight Order.
A great battle is about to begin.
However.
At the same time that the convoy sped out of the forest.
About 800 meters away from the convoy, at another exit of the forest.
A knight not belonging to the Behemoth Knight Order rode his own unique 'warhorse' out of the forest.
A terrifying warhorse made entirely of skeletons; upon closer inspection, one might even discover that the grass trampled by the Skeleton Warhorse would wither and die within a short period of time.
The rider was shrouded in a black cloak, with an exaggeratedly large Giant White Scythe on his back.
Just wanted to let you know in advance, but Ah Fei's eyes are bothering him, so he's going to rest now.
