Chapter 488: Halsearing

The mood in Halsearing was clear even as they pulled up to the gates an hour later.

It looked like the entire city was in the streets, and Karl's sensitive ears could hear the dozens of species of monsters talking about a new anomaly outside of town. 

Word was that the town's prophet has foreseen that the Nomadic Tribes would bring a war band to the location, which had put the whole city into a panic, thinking that the Nomadic Tribes were going to go to war against the region in order to claim the dungeon for themselves.

They might, but somehow, Karl couldn't see the Orc tribes working well together, much less with other species of nomads. If he had to guess, what they had seen was most likely just Chieftain World Smasher and his clan meeting with him at the dungeon.

Karl pretended that the reins were actually for controlling, but actually used them to rub the Cerro's back as they pulled to a stop in front of the gate guards.
