Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Two days had passed since General Carran killed General Revon, and now, he was headed for battle once again, bringing five thousand of his men.

That was the number of men that accompanied General Fahad and General Carran to the Great Plains to reinforce their main camp from the pincer attack of the Ammarian Army that would be coming from the Mountain Regions at their side as well as the Army stationed in the Great Plains.

Even though they had won two campaigns, they would all be in vain if the Yelan Main Camp was defeated by their enemies.

This was why the two Generals made haste and left with as many men as they could. Although five thousand men was a pitiful number, it was all that they could take right now.

Both armies had lost many men during their previous campaigns, and they needed to leave a large enough force to defend the territories they left behind.

Lux watched them leave from a distance and wished he could go with them. However, since Cai's condition still hadn't stabilized, he decided to remain with her until she woke up.

The good news was that Cai seemed to be recovering well.

According to Henrietta, aside from the faint scar that could be seen on Cai's chest, there were no other injuries that could be seen on the surface of her body.

What Lux was worried about was her internal injuries.

He had used every potion in his disposal, and Eiko's slimes had also done their part and healed her, but he had no way to determine whether Cai still had some internal injuries that they were not aware of.

Lux wasn't proficient in healing magic, and the Lady Cleric that he had asked to help him from the Yelan Camp said that Cai was recovering well.

However, the Cleric also said that the injuries Cai received from the attack of the Ranker would take at least a month or two to fully heal. She advised Lux to not let the unconscious young lady participate in any more battles in the future because she had just escaped death by a hair's breadth.

If Lux hadn't immediately fed her the healing potions he had and received healing magic from the Slimes, Cai would have died within minutes of taking General Revon's full powered attack.

"Tomorrow," Lux said softly. "If tomorrow, she still hasn't woken up. I will ask Bedivere to carry her until we reach an area near the Great Plains."

The Half-Elf knew that he couldn't wait any longer than that because Diablo had told him that the Ammarian Army was already on the move.

According to his estimate, the final battle might start three to four days from now, and the journey to the Yelan Main Camp from Glouswell Forest was a day and a half when mounted.

Naturally, not all the troops that accompanied General Fahad and General Carran had mounts. Because of this, the two Generals, and those with mounts went ahead first, while the foot soldiers would do their best to arrive in time for the great battle.

The Half-Elf had his Thunder Warg King, Jed, and his mount had the ability to fly. This was also true for Xander's mount, which was a flying Manta Ray.

Bedivere could take Cai and Henrietta with him as they flew in the sky with his dragon mount, so their travel time would be significantly faster than the rest of General Carran's troops.

"I just hope she wakes up tomorrow," Lux muttered as he returned to the hidden cave to check Cai's condition.

Henrietta, who had become Cai's personal attendant, reported that there were no significant changes in the young lady's condition. Her breathing was stable, and from what Henrietta could tell, Cai's life was no longer in any danger.

"I think she is just physically, mentally, magically, and spiritually exhausted," Henrietta commented. "This is a very common thing, especially when diving into high-ranked Dungeons. It would be best if we just let her rest for now."

Lux agreed with Henrietta's words and told her his plan.

The Guildmaster of Serenity listened and nodded her head in agreement to Lux's words.

"Let's just sneak her inside the Yelan Camp and have one of your Named Creatures guard her," Henrietta proposed. "As long as you, I, and Xander don't say anything, no one will know about Cai's true identity. You're also quite close to Great General Watson and Great General Sherlock. I'm sure they will be willing to accommodate her if you request it."

The Half-Elf nodded because Henrietta's proposal would solve most of their problems in the case that Cai didn't regain her consciousness when morning came.

The next day, just when the sun was about to rise from the East…

"Make sure you don't drop her, okay?" Lux said in a teasing tone as he tied Cai to Henrietta's waist with a rope.

He did this to ensure that the sleeping beauty wouldn't accidentally fall from the sky whenever Bedivere was forced to make some evasive maneuvers during an emergency.

Henrietta didn't reply and simply arched her eyebrow as if telling the Half-Elf "Just who do you think I am?"

After making sure that Cai was securely tied in place, Lux gave Bedivere a nod to tell him that everything was ready.

Bedivere returned his Master's nod before lightly tapping his partner's back, signaling to the Dragon that it was time to go.

The Dragon flapped its wings twice as if testing the weight on its back. It planned to fly at a speed that wouldn't harm the sleeping lady on its back because it knew that she was a very important person to its Master.

The Dragon then flapped its wings for the third time and soared towards the sky.

Seeing that Cai was firmly secured on its back, it started to circle around Lux, waiting for its Master to join it in the skies.contemporary romance

"Let's go," Lux summoned Jed.

The Thunder Warg King let out a growl of acknowledgement as Lux mounted its back.

Xander also summoned his Manta Ray, which was the Rowan Tribe's personal mount. He urged the Manta Ray to fly closer to Bedivere's Wind Dragon in order to protect his High Priestess in case they encountered any danger in their travels.

Lux then lightly tapped Jed's back, and the Thunder Warg King dashed on the ground before jumping high in the air.

Within moments, it was running several meters above the ground using air steps.

With Lux in the lead, all of them traveled towards the Yelan Main Camp, unaware that someone was observing them from a great distance, wishing that he could travel faster, so that he could watch a good show.
