Chapter 650 Save me from these beasts!
?When it was all said and done, the battlefield was covered in blood.
General Killock stood over it, looking at the corpses that were laying all around him.
There might have been a few that escaped through the gaps, but most of the Beirut Kingdom army had been slaughtered by the wyverns and his soldiers.
As he stood there looking over the battlefield, there was a large gust of wind that came from above him. When he looked up, he found that there was a wyvern that was landing beside him.
Though this was a powerful and terrifying looking wyvern, General Killock didn't feel any fear at all.
No, he still felt a trace of fear, but he was able to control it.
That was because he could see the familiar figure that was sitting on the back of the wyvern.
That familiar figure jumped off the wyvern and asked him, "How are you feeling?"
General Killock just gave a bitter laugh before saying, "Do you want the honest answer?"
When I heard this, I just gave a simple nod.
"I really don't know how I'm supposed to feel about this. The ones that were lying on the ground were living humans not that long ago, but now they are corpses that will rot and nourish the earth."
I raised a brow when I heard this, but I quickly understood what he meant.
Though General Killock was an experienced general so he had seen his fair share of slaughter, that didn't mean that he had experienced this kind of slaughter. It was only after he met me that he started experiencing this kind of slaughter.
A general like him would follow the rules of war and would take prisoners when he could.
So just slaughtering everyone like this was actually a strange thing to do.
Before, he hadn't had to kill the enemy with his own hands.
This time, he joined in the killing of the enemy.
So it was understandable that he would be feeling this way.
With a sigh, I said, "This was necessary. You know in your heart that it was necessary."
General Killock gave a sigh as well before saying, "I know that it is necessary, but…it's just a bit hard to accept as a human."
I gave a nod to show my understanding before turning back to say, "Then shall we head back? I'm sure that you will want to report this to the one in charge of the fort, right?"
When he heard this, the expression on General Killock's face changed.
One moment, he had a sad look on his face.
The next, he had a bitter smile on his face.
It was almost as if he didn't want to deal with the commander of the fort.
Seeing this, I asked, "Is it really that bad?"
General Killock started by shaking his head at first, but he eventually gave a nod as he said, "It is that bad."
I gave a sigh before saying, "But we still have to report to him since he's the one in charge of this battlefield."
General Killock gave a nod without saying anything.
I waved my hand at him and General Killock followed me with a confused look on his face at first. But that expression quickly changed when he saw what I was leading him to.
As we stood there in front of Joan, he looked at her with a shocked look before turning to look at me as if he was asking me, "Are you serious?"
My response was to climb up on Joan's back as she leaned down for me before reaching my hand down for General Killock.
He looked at that hand like it was a deal with the devil, but he still took it in the end.
Though I did have to say to him, "We don't have all day."
Once we were on the back of Joan, I patted her once before saying, "Go back to the fort."
As soon as my voice fell, she suddenly stood up and flapped her wings to fly into the air.
Though General Killock was a general with experience, he couldn't help giving a yelp as we flew into the air. At the same time, I could feel his hands gripping onto my body as we took off.
It seemed that even the great general wasn't able to control his fear as we flew into the sky.
But I just gave a chuckle without saying a thing.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes and started looking around us with an amazed look.
This was the look that most people would have when they were in this situation.
After all, flying was something that was impossible for humans to do.
So when they were able to fly in the sky, they would look around themselves in amazement since this was an experience that they couldn't experience normally.
It didn't take long for us to reach the fortress since the enemies hadn't gotten that far away.
When we arrived, I could see the trace of disappointment in General Killock's eyes which made me reveal a faint smile.
But I didn't have time to enjoy this as I heard something coming from below.
I looked down to see that there was a panic in the makeshift fort.
The soldiers were running around in a panic, with many archers aiming their bows up at us.
It looked like they were prepared to attack us at any moment.
When I saw this, I revealed a bitter smile and asked General Killock, "Did you not tell them about his highness' message?"
General Killock revealed an awkward look since he had indeed kept this a secret.
After all, how could he have told them about the strange letter that he had received from the fourth prince?
Before we could say anything else, there was a panicked voice that came from below that said, "Ah! Shoot it down! Shoot it down! Save me from these beasts!"
Looking down, I saw a person who was in a complete panic as he looked up.
I really couldn't help feeling disappointed and disdainful seeing this person.
But General Killock said, "That is General Gardner, the one in charge of this place."
