Chapter 236-240

"Raon."

Cale called out to Raon. However, all he got back was the rough sound of Raon's breathing. It was completely different than when he had caught a cold last time.

Cale blinked after seeing Raon who seemed to be sleeping but had a serious fever and was breathing heavily.

The first growth phase.

That was the only thing he could think of. Cale recalled what Eruhaben had told him in the past.

'He's quite smart. He's able to learn three months' worth of content in only one month.'
'But he is not growing.'
'He's not hitting his first growth phase.'
'It's about time for it to happen. I wonder what is going on.'

Raon was a Dragon who could not grow even though he had learned everything he needed to learn in order to activate it. Cale recalled what he had heard as he was falling asleep.

'Human, will you save me again if I become that weak again and require you to save me?'

'Damn it.'
Cale couldn't help but swear.
It was not because he recalled what Raon had told him.

Beeeeeeeep- Beeeeep-

Was there a need for an alarm to wake people up to continue to ring this loud?
Should they be making this much noise when they should be wary of the enemy hearing them?

Cale bit down on his lips after suddenly thinking about something. He then looked toward Raon. The young Dragon had Cale's video communication device in his spatial dimension.

The Guardian Knight Clopeh. He had only contacted Cale through that specific video communication device.
Cale had ordered him to contact him through his personal video communication device if anything changed with the Indomitable Alliance's plans or if any urgent situations came up.
Of course, he did give a separate video communication device's information to him in case of emergencies.

Beeeeeeeep- Beeeeep-

"Cale-nim!"

A voice called for him from outside the tent. Choi Han was calling his name.
Cale brushed his eyes with his hands.

What if something happened during the three hours he was sleeping.

No, what if it happened once Raon became sick? If Clopeh had contacted him during that time?
Then Cale would not have been able to answer that call. He didn't have Raon to connect him.

Beeeeeeep- Beeeeeeep-

This was not the sound of an alarm.
It was a warning signal.
It meant that something had happened.

'This is driving me nuts.'

Cale stopped frowning as best as possible and headed out of the tent.

Plop.
He could see soldiers hurriedly moving about outside the tent. Light continued to flash from the teleportation magic circle located at the base as well.
The soldiers and knights stationed at the nearby city were all being teleported over.

"Cale-nim, the enemy is appearing on the other side of the gorge!"

Cale turned his head toward the direction of Choi Han's voice. He could see Choi Han, Hilsman, Mary, and Lock. He could also see some of the knights of the Royal Knights Brigade, no, the core members of the Roan Kingdom's forces.

Cale opened his mouth to speak.

"Choi Han and Lock, come inside. The rest of you standby."

Choi Han found it odd that he was calling them inside, but followed Cale's order anyway. He could see the urgency in Cale's eyes.
The enemy did not seem to be the problem.
