Chapter 358 - Volume 3
Chapter 137 – The Alliance in the forest
========= Elman’s POV ==========
“T-these are all Potion of Dragon Strength…… And the quality of the potions!” Rono nearly bit his tongue in his shock.
The youths from Kirrlutz were unable to leave, and they had to move closer to Brendel’s camp for protection.
“Rono, what’s wrong?” Faena jumped a little.
The appearance of the wolves made her jittery, and she lowered her voice subconsciously, afraid of either attracting the monsters or Brendel.
“H-he’s treating these potions like water……” Rono could not suppress his ire and said: “If they are instead used on knights who have more potential than this strange bunch— of people.”
“What is so surprising about these potions.” Elman regarded his companion a little coldly. He had pushed Rono down to cover himself when Brendel attacked them, and even though it was an instinctive action, he knew that this act would not be forgotten or forgiven.
A centaur who appeared to be slightly older than the others trotted forth. He had a different suit of armor. His pauldrons had the shape of a pair of deer antlers that curved majestically outwards, while his gold armor followed the shape of his chest closely, making it look like he had bare skin that was gold in color.
With a shake of his lance, he came before Brendel with a loud voice: “Human, I am Wydall! The Elder Druid have made his request known, and we shall assist you to break the first wave of the Calamity of Wolves!”
The nobles from Aouine snapped their heads towards Brendel What agreement did the youth make with the Druids?
“You agreed? What about the Tree Elves?”
“We are here in the battlefield too, young one.”
There was a sudden shift of lighting on Wydall’s back, revealing a tall elf with green hair adorned with leaves. He wore a robe, but did not wear a shirt and had an exposed chest. He too had a longbow, but it was even larger than what the centaurs used and made one wonder how he was able to use it.
“It’s you—” Amandina expressed her surprise; he was the Druid that she and Scarlett saw when Brendel entertained the children.
He nodded with a tiny smile: “If it were another human, we might reject the Elder Druids’ proposal, but I am pleased with your actions, young one, and I can try believing in the proposal.”
Brendel was a little confused as to what he did to gain the elf’s trust. But he glanced at Amandina and took a quick guess, nodding:
“There’s no time to waste, allow me to explain the plan.”
