Hero of Darkness-Novel

Chapter 422 - The Returnee

After Ronin's affirmation, Kahn had an exasperated expression and his countenance looked as if he was a student who was extremely annoyed at the teacher for extending the lecture by 5 minutes.

Kahn let out an exhausted sigh and tilted his head backward as he spoke…

"Ah, somebody kill me please. Why can't I get a break?.."

His complaint however fell only on deaf ears.

"What's the situation?" he asked.

"Omega and Jugram are on their way since they're closer to that region. They've already gathered the forces under their command and are heading towards the battlefield with more than 3 million soldiers and over 2 thousand flying ships." explained Ronin.

"What did Commander Chetak say? What kind of legendary monster we are looking at?" asked Kahn in a solemn tone.

The one he asked about now was the Centaur semi-saint who belonged to the Neutral Faction and was now Kahn's slave because of the Blood-oath token.

On the surface, he still served his clan and faction but in reality, he was just another puppet for Kahn like the other 2 semi-saints who has caused a big scam in the military by embezzling funds allotted for compensating the families of the deceased soldiers.

Later, Kahn killed Commander Aswala in the People's Court and threatened this semi-saint to accept the slave contract lest he wanted to get killed publicly as well.

He was the one in charge of the region where another legendary ranked monster just attacked. And the transmission received by Ronin was sent by him.

"Currently he and the clan heir of the Apopis clan are fighting at the front lines and both are protecting the border.

But the main problem is that the enemy numbers are simply too big. Even the reinforcements arriving with Omega and Jugram won't be enough." replied Ronin.

"It will take us 6 hours just to reach there. So sending help from capital would not be efficient.

Blackwall is in charge of the Kaldris region now so he too will not need 4 hours to get there." he iterated.

"Dammit! Oliver has gone AWOL too. I can't contact him either. If it was him, he would be there in a couple of hours and would've taken care of it easily." said Kahn as he was getting impatient.

"So we don't have anyone for a quick response? Both Omega and Jugram won't be able to kill it even if they took their real forms. It's a Legendary rank monster in the end.

Plus too many people including those two semi-saints will be watching." spoke Kahn as another wave of worry washed over his body.

"Arrhh! I'm going to go crazy." he said and covered his forehead while being distressed.

Because the longer it took them, the more loss of life will there be. And he wanted to avoid a similar situation like the Caladrius attack.

Beep!

Beep!

Just then, Ronin receives another transmission and he started talking with the caller.

The next moment however, his eyes were widened and full of shock.

"I just received an important message. He is finished with his work.

And he is close to that area." reported Ronin.

"Good. About time we heard from him.

Can he handle it?" asked Kahn as a sense of relief came over him and he slouched backward on his throne.

"Yes." spoke Ronin as he nodded in affirmation.

"Just tell him to bring the body here first. I'll decide the next move later." spoke Kahn, his mood suddenly turning carefree.

"Meanwhile… I'll go take a good nap." said Kahn and drifted in the dreamworld.

Because he was certain that the big gun they were sending would definitely get the job done.

In the 5th hotspot region of the monster wave attack called Berawaa, where the centaur commander was stationed..

He and Victor Apopis, one of the clain heirs sent from the capital and stationed here by Kahn himself were fighting at the front against an army of forest monsters and millions of tree-like creatures that were no different than normal monsters but had bodies made of wood and leaves.

The current battlefield was full of deep holes and burning bodies of the monsters and soldiers alike.

So far, more than 30 thousand foot soldiers had already died while the ones attacking from the flying ships and magic cannons had successfully taken out over a million monsters spread across this 10 kilometers wide battlefield.

Currently, the battlefield itself was divided into four parts where two of the regions were protected and guarded by commander Chetak and Victor Apopis, the demonkin semi-saint with True Demon bloodline. While the rest of the two situated on both ends were under Omega and Jugram's command who just arrived an hour ago with the reinforcement.

Both of them had brought enough soldiers and firepower with them and the current situation was at a stalemate condition.

But the biggest problem were the tall tree monsters among the enemy side which were 20 meters tall in size and there were more than 100 of them.

Even the magic cannons didn't have that much accuracy to hit these fast-moving targets who had roots as their feet which increased their mobility and made their next location impossible to detect.

If Kahn were to be present here, he'd instantly be reminded of Lord of the Rings battles given the current scenario.

But what worried them the most that the main regional boss that was 20 kilometers behind the monster wave and was commanding them to attack as per their Intel still hadn't decided to step in.

And if it were to happen, their side would be absolutely wrecked since there was nobody who could fight it one on one.

Schwooahhh!!

However, at this exact moment… a black warship arrived in the deep jungle that was the domain of this legendary rank monster from the other side of the battlefield.

Suddenly both Omega and Jugram, who were fighting against thousands of enemy monsters in an open battle received a message through their respective transmission artifacts.

"Keep those small fries and those semi-saints busy there." a gentle and benign tone landed in their ears.

The following second, the confident voice then continued with an ominous tone as the owner declared…

"I will take care of the main boss."
