Alchemist In The Apocalypse: Rise Of A Legend!
Chapter 223 Is This The Calm Before The Storm?Is this the calm before the storm?",
[Third Person POV],",
"If you guys had acted when the ogres were retreating, their king would have done something that even I wouldn't be able to save you from," Andrew Dawn said, as silence fell over the mountain range for a while.",
Although the man who had asked the question earlier was not convinced as he had seen his king use his real power for a short time and it appeared that the king was having quite an easy time with the ogre king, he did not bother voicing his thoughts and instead kept quiet because it would not look good on the king's image.",
Andrew Dawn, who was aware of his man's thoughts, simply shook his head and continued to look in the direction the ogres retreated in.",
The thing was, he also didn't want the ogres to go at first when he saw them retreating since he had planned to capture a few of them for information, but the threat he felt from the ogre king suddenly increased as he sensed the mana surrounding him and the ogre king suddenly became madly chaotic for a few seconds.",
It was at this point that he realised the old adage of the old age that you should never force a wounded lion into a corner because it has ways of biting back.",
Although the ogre king didn't appear to be one ready to bite, he did appear to be ready to do something that would make it go down with everyone around it.",
It was insanely violent, which was exactly the feeling the ogre king gave Andrew Dawn.",
In any case, Andrew Dawn was certain of one thing: while the ogres appeared to have retreated as a result of his display of power, he was certain the ogres would return.",
He wasn't sure how close this was to happening, but there was a good chance the ogres would return, especially if the herbs were important to them.",
As Andrew Dawn considered these things, he ordered his men to begin clearing the area while they neatly packed the dead bodies of their companions and burned it using fire magic that one of the men there possessed.",
They did the same for the ogres' bodies, but in comparison to how they treated their dead companions' bodies, the treatment was much rougher and indifferent, with some Andrew Dawn men even spitting on the dead ogres' bodies.",
After this was done, as Andrew Dawn prepared to return to the settlement to arrange for more men to come here and better guard the mountain range in case of future attacks like this, a blue screen panel suddenly appeared in front of him after the bell-like sound occurred in his head.",
[Maria Dawn],",
[Come back quickly, we're being attacked],",
When Andrew Dawn saw that it was his wife who sent him a message, a smile formed on his lips, but when he read the message's content, the smile vanished as black lightning arcs appeared around his body and with a zap, he vanished from his location, leaving an afterimage much to the confusion of his men and son at the mountain range.",
Meanwhile, in the settlement, shortly after Andrew Dawn and the others left for the mountain range, leaving the queen; Maria Dawn, Caleb, and a few others behind, Maria Dawn told everyone to stop and return to their duties since chasing after others who had long left them was pointless, and they might even end up being burdens if they continued to head there.",
Her words were reasonable, and even if they weren't, they all had no choice but to obey the queen's command.",
Their king might not be in the settlement right now, but that doesn't mean all of the king's personal guards aren't.",
Among everyone present, the queen only asked Caleb to stay and accompany her back to the king's residence, much to Caleb's frustration.",
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom After returning to the dining room where Celeb first met the Dawn Empire's king and queen, the queen opened her mouth to speak and addressed Celeb.",
"You do realize that the item you just happened to miss is a very valuable item, right?" She inquired, and Celeb responded with a heavy nod and a soft yes.",
When the queen saw this, she only nodded before asking another question.",
"So you know you're going to get punished, right?"",
"Yes, ma," Celeb said as Maira Dawn spoke up again.",
"So why don't you help yourself know and contribute to your king to ease some of his anger?" she asked, as Celeb looked perplexed.",
When Maria Dawn saw this, she realized Celeb was perplexed by the words she spoke, so she decided to explain herself in a more direct manner.",
"You should know the current state of the settlement now, and I'm sure you're aware since you were there that all is not calm and a fight can break out anytime soon, and it might even be on a large scale," she said after a brief pause, and when she noticed Celeb was paying close attention, she spoke again.",
"So why don't you help yourself and message that boy you got his contact and see if you can use his service to contribute to the settlement," she stated as Celeb realized where the queen was finally heading.",
Although he had no idea what the queen's true plan was, he did what he had to do because what she said was actually reasonable, so he quickly sent a message to Ace.",
While Celeb was doing this, Maria Dawn was lost in her own thoughts because she knew things that the majority of the people in the settlement didn't.",
While everything appeared to be calm at the moment, it was only on the surface, and before the real deal arrived, she wanted to do whatever she could to help her husband, no matter how small.",
Celeb came into play here because the person in his contact seemed to be quite an interesting person, and if he could truly make the magical medicine Celeb claimed he could make, Maria Dawn could already see how it could help her husband.",
What she didn't expect was for the settlement's warning horn to suddenly sound just a few seconds after Celeb sent his message.",
The horn served as a warning of impending enemy attacks.",
