Chapter 565 Shaky but steady
The battle that was not a battle had ended nearly as fast as it began. This truly disappointed those who were looking forward to the battle.
After all, it had ended abruptly, after a lengthy conversation between Lenny and Morgana.
Till the end, no one knew what they had been conversing about.
But of course, there were many speculations on the subject.
They were those that said that Lenny and Morgana had planned to meet after the event and that was why she backed off from the battle.
Nevertheless, the battle was over which meant that Lenny and Victor were now going to battle Curtin and Riff.
Elder Zod stepped forward to announce the event. This was the finally round. As it is tradition, the fighters were supposed to be given one week of rest before the event.
As Elder Zod announced the event, another piece of news reached the ears of Elder Isiah.
One of the Werewolf guards rushed. This guard was the Guard commander of the city.
He was dressed in shiny gold armor, unlike the other Guards and when he moved, there was a hint of respect on the faces of all that saw him pass.
He came over and whispered something into Elder Isiah’s ears.
Elder Isiah frowned slightly. However, he immediately put up a smile on his face as he excused himself from the presence of the other Elders.
However, the moment he got into the corridors, his steps quickened.
“Are you sure?” He asked the guard following behind him.
“Yes, elder! The Army of Undead has finally reached the borders of our city. fortunately, the traps we set in defense of the city are holding them back, but I don’t think it will be for long.”
“How long do we have?” Elder Isiah asked.
“A few minutes, 30 minutes if we are lucky!” the guard responded.
Elder Isiah frowned. “The city of Milk and Honey does not have access to its defender, the Primordial beast. All the people in the city do not know this. If the army of undead should reach us now, our greatest secret that we are a behemoth with no fangs or claws will be revealed to the other wild animals and they will come to tear our flesh!”
The guard frowned as he sighed. This secret was one only those of the upper echelon of the city knew.
“Our only hope is for us to crown a new Alpha, publicly acknowledged by the people. Once that is set, he can then open the private space and release the Primordial beast.”
The guard sighed, and then a thought came into his head, “Elder Isiah, You never said. Why did the former Alpha seal the private space where the primordial beast resides in the first place?”
Elder Isiah shook his head, “Honestly, I don’t know, he had his reasons back then, all we could do was show respect regardless of the consequences… For now, We have to change plans. Inform Elder Zod that the final battle will commence immediately. I will go and collect a favor from some old friends and see how they can buy us a bit of more time.”
The Guard Commander nodded and immediately hurried over to Elder Zod to inform him of the latest development.
Elder Zod coughed awkwardly, “Forgive me, ladies and gentlemen! There seems to be a new development. The final battle to determine who shall become Alpha will commence in the next ten minutes.”
“HUH!?” the crowd was taken by surprise and there was murmur everywhere in the Arena.
However, Elder Zod tried to calm the crowd down.
As he did this, Elder Isiah rushed to a particular wall, and then he made a small cut on his palm with his finger and then he placed it on the wall.
It glowed in a slight red light and a rune appeared on it before it opened up.
Within, was Clawed lying on Duncan’s legs as Duncan stroked his head.
“You said you want to live the rest of your lives in the City of Milk and Honey in peace. It’s time to show how true to your words you are!” Elder Isiah stated.
Duncan frowned at this. However, Clawed immediately stood to his feet, “Good! I have been itching to stretch a bit.”
“But Clawed…” Duncan immediately stepped forward to stop him, “…You are not in the best of conditions right now.”
Clawed nodded, “That’s exactly why I need this stretch. Maybe a bit of blood will help my troubled mind… You just stick to the plan, and get that Whistle horn. I have a feeling that we will be needing it soon!”
Duncan nodded at Clawed as he watched him leave with the Elder.
“you have dropped in power from the Great Demon rank, but you are still at the peak of the Deep Demon rank. I’m sure that this will not be a problem for you.”
Clawed nodded. “So tell me, what trouble comes knocking on the door?”
Elder Isiah sighed deeply, “The undead!”
…..
Meanwhile, outside the City, all sorts of things were happening.
The Pirates that had gotten word of the impending danger in time sought to make it safe. Many of them fled The city of Milk and Honey with their ships. Some others trusting of the power of the Primordial beast refused to leave.
As far as they were concerned, the safest place to be was with the City.
After all, even when the apocalypse fell on man, this city still stood.
But little did they know that they were currently putting their lives in danger.
After informing Elder Zod to begin the battle plans for the final battle, The Guard Commander took an army of Werewolf guards with him and rushed to face the steady army of undead approaching.
The wind, blew harshly, carrying the disgusting smell of rottening meat from the army of undead towards the Werewolves.
Just from the smell alone, it was easy to tell that the army of undead was already in their millions.
Their advance was shaky but still steady…
