Chapter 122 - Mutation

Kahel, who was about to scour the streets of the commoners, felt the tremendous magic carried by the wind and hesitated for a moment, then took over the reins of the horse being pulled by the knight and hurriedly got on the horse.

‘I didn’t expect you to be working so early.’

It was much sooner than expected that Liddell summoned the monster. It was difficult to be sure that what Dashar and Luahalla had asked would be done on time.

However, since Duchy Luave and the Black faction nobles have been given orders to prepare for such a situation, each Knights Order will safely evacuate the people in Ardennes. But he was worried for Lena. He was afraid that the monsters would trample on the building where Lena was imprisoned.

Soon after, a strange shout of ‘kiieeekk’ rang out from far away.

The knights who were with him also stiffened their bodies and looked in the direction of the sound. It was still far away so they couldn’t see it, but everyone knew it wouldn’t take long for it to enter Ardennes.

“Your Excellency!”

Even if the knight didn’t call, Kahel was also turning his head. Finding Lena was important, but a magic this powerful as it stormed the capital, and as the Guardian of the Logos, he couldn’t ignore it.

Not long after the terrible screams began to sound north of Ardennes, loud bells began to ring throughout the capital. It was something most people had never heard of in their life, but everyone knew what it meant. It was a signal to evacuate immediately.

“It’s monsters! A horde of monsters has appeared!”

Someone shrieked as they passed Kahel and the knights escorting him. Kahel glanced at the entrance to the commoners street, which he was about to stop by, and then turned his head.

“Sir Meyer! Deploy the 1st and 2nd Knights to secure an evacuation route for the people. Sir Hert! Run to the palace with the 3rd Knights and protect Her Majesty with the Imperial Knights. Sir Zuke! Evacuate the vassals with Arder and inform Gerard that I am entrusting him with the leadership of the black faction.”

“Understood!”

The knights who received the order from him did not hesitate to respond to the sudden situation and gave a short answer, then all three drove their horses towards the Luave mansion. And Kahel, who was left alone, clenched the reins, thinking of Lena.

Even at this moment, he did not know where he should be going and what was going on, so he was worried as if his stomach was melting. However, before Kahel was Lena’s lover, he was the black wing that protected the Logos. He could not abandon his duty.

‘Lena…… Please stay safe until I find you…….’

Kahel clenched his teeth and spurred towards the North of Ardennes. The number of monsters that appeared this time would have to be enormous for this thick magic energy to overflow in the air. To be honest, he wasn’t sure if he’d ever win again.

‘With the help of the Santella family, the odds are high, but will they really move?’

Today, it seemed like it would be a chance to check if it was the Santella family that summoned the monsters. But he had been preparing for this day since he received Dashar’s letter. The five temples in Ardennes will try to purify the magic while he is blocking the monsters at the forefront. Even ordinary knights were able to deal with small monsters.

‘I should try to block it as much as possible.’

As the emergency bells from the North spread throughout Ardennes, Kahel ran in the opposite direction as the people were fleeing. Frightened by the magic that the monsters shed, the horse refused to advance to a place far north of the capital. In the end, he had no choice but to abandon his horse and run.
