Chapter 278: The Alliance of Gods Was Constantly Receiving Bad News!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the meeting hall of the Castle of Gods.
The Alliance leader sat on the main seat and looked at the Castle Lords.
After a few hours of waiting, the 10,000 giant vulture flying units that had been sent out had yet to send back any news.
When the Castle Lords saw the anxious expression on the Alliance leader’s face, they all spoke out to comfort him.
“Alliance leader, I think they must be spending time cleaning up the battlefield!”
“It’s very likely to be the case. How could they bring back so many mechanical devices? They must be searching for a good specimen for you!”
“Sigh, if they sent me, I would have come back a long time ago!”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Your castle doesn’t have any powerful flying units!”
“Humph, your castle isn’t that great either. There aren’t any flying forces at all!”
“What? You think you’re so great, huh? Why don’t we wait until the end of the meeting to battle and see who’s better!”
“Enough! Everyone shut up!”
The Alliance leader was already very anxious. He did not expect that the Castle Lords would actually start arguing at this time.
The Alliance leader was only worried about one thing, which was how many mechanical devices the 10,000 flying troops could bring back.
Through the messenger’s observation, the gnome dwarves controlled close to 3,000 mechanical devices.
The weight of the huge mechanical devices was absolutely shocking. This was also the reason why the Alliance leader had sent out 10,000 giant vultures.
Even if the mechanical device army was wiped out by that mysterious person, it would still be impossible to take away a large number of mechanical devices.
Then, there would definitely be many of these devices being left behind at the scene.
Now that a few hours had passed, the giant vultures should be on their way back to the Castle of Gods.
The only thing that puzzled the Alliance leader was why no single giant vultures had flown back to report first.
This kind of situation was very rare and did not make sense.
Just as the Alliance leader and the high-ranking Castle Lords were anxiously waiting, a guard rushed into the meeting room’s hall.
The guard’s expression was so panicked that he directly used his body to break open the meeting room’s door.
Everyone present was shocked by the sudden appearance of the guard.
Especially the Alliance master, who was already in a bad mood. After being frightened by the guard, he became even angrier.
“Damn it! If you don’t give me a good reason, I’ll execute you right now!”
The other Castle Lords also expressed their dissatisfaction.
“F*ck, you scared me!”
“This damn guard, I think he has lived enough!”
“There’s no need for the Alliance master to do it himself. I’ll end the life of this damn guard right now!”
At this moment, the guard who barged in still had a frightened look on his face. Of course, he did not care about the threats to his life.
The guard quickly ran the Alliance leader in the meeting room and then told him what had happened.
“Alliance leader, something bad has happened. A giant vulture with blood all over its body just flew back. It seems that it has something urgent to report!”
“What?!”
The anger on the Alliance leader’s face turned to surprise.
“Where is that vulture?!”
“He’s right above the square of the castle. There are many Castle Lords surrounding him now!”
Boom!
The Alliance leader and the Castle Lords rushed out of the door one after another.
The meeting room was still some distance away from the square of the castle. They started running to get there quicker.
The Alliance leader suddenly had a bad premonition. This feeling was very strange. Ever since the Alliance of Gods started to target the Dragon Castle, this familiar came time and time again.
It seemed that a reversal would happen at every battle that involved the Dragon Castle.
The Alliance leader was somewhat nervous now.
Previously, he had doubted the messenger who came back to report the news, but now, he would believe anything he said.
Not long after, the crowd arrived at the square of the castle.
As expected, they saw a bunch of Castle Lords, seemingly surrounding something or someone. One of the high-level Castle Lords shouted, “Make way, the Alliance leader has arrived!”
Whoosh!
The Castle Lords turned around and saw that the Alliance leader had actually rushed over personally. One after another, they made way for him to enter the square.
The Alliance leader was escorted by the high-ranking Castle Lords as he passed through the crowd.
Then, they saw that on the ground of the square, there was indeed a heavily injured giant vulture. What shocked them was that the lower limbs of the giant vulture had disappeared. They did not know what kind of monster had done such a thing.
The bloody tissue was exposed. What they did not understand was how the giant vulture had flown back after suffering such a serious injury.
At this moment, the Alliance leader came to the side of the giant vulture and asked the soldiers who were tending to the vulture’s injuries, “How are its injuries? Can it speak?”
However, the soldiers suddenly stood up and looked at the giant vulture on the ground, then answered the alliance leader’s question.
“Alliance leader, it’s already dead. We were trying to investigate what kind of monster caused the damage.”
“Dead! How long has it been dead?”
If this vulture had died not long ago, then it was understandable. If it was not the case, then...
“Sir Alliance leader, this vulture had died when it was in the air. It fell from the sky and landed right on this square.”
Hiss!
When the Castle Lords heard this, they all took a deep breath.
This meant that the giant vulture had died before it could fly to the Castle of Gods. It was very likely that the injuries it received were too severe and it had bled to death.
What was the reason for a heavily injured giant vulture to fly back without caring about its own life?
Just as everyone was wondering about it, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
“Look! There’s a black dot in the sky!”
The Alliance leader turned to look at the sky. The Castle Lords beside him did the same.
Under the illumination of the light, there were indeed a few black dots, which seemed to be getting bigger with every passing second.
Everyone started to shout.
“It’s the giant vultures!”
“Oh my god, are those giant vultures crazy?!”
They saw the giant vultures in the air waving their giant wings like crazy.. They did not care about conserving their strength at all, as if there was something extremely terrifying chasing them from behind.
