Bab 273: Life Cycle 2

Jay watched the awkward human battalion slowly emerge from the root-covered forest and ascend the mounds of roots.

It caused Jay to feel helpless as he had locked himself inside the castle, and he knew that out there, in the forest behind them, an army of eighty knights was marching.

“Surely they’re not here to help me?” Jay smiled.

“I didn’t realize they liked me that much. Huh. I guess I was pretty benevolent for letting them live?”

Jay continued to watch through the arrow slit as the advancing army of knights marched into confrontation with the armor-clad humans.

“Poor bastards.” Jay frowned.

However, there was a sudden change in the humans behavior. They quickly rushed back towards the forest. They dropped torches as they retreated as quickly as they appeared.

“Huh? No fight? What…” Jay said, confused as he furrowed his brows.

“Don’t tell me they were just being greedy? Little bastards…”

Jay left the arrow slit and filled up the staircase with more bones.
