章 141: The end of the trip [2]

The sun rose from the east, casting an orange light on the rocky terrain. 

Crunch...! 

The silence that took over the surroundings was broken by the single sound of a step. 

"We're close." 

Captain Reijnder stopped and turned around. Behind him, several dozen knights neatly lined up. Their golden armor gleamed beneath the sun's glare, making them look all the more imposing. 

Standing in formation, they protected the magicians who stood at the back. 

"Captain, here is the report." 

Receiving a paper from one of the knight members, the captain read the contents before frowning. 

".....We need to hurry."

Handing the paper back, he beckoned the members with his hand. 

"The fight has already started. Let's hurry." 

Indeed, just as the report stated. The moment they arrived at the destination, pulses of mana swept the surroundings as the heavy sound of metal clashing reverberated through the air.
