Chapter 366: Chapter 366 – Leaving Whitedon
“Hmm… now that I think again,” Seman spoke as he looked at Reverence, “I think that’s the late lady Religias’s horse, right?”
The stable boy nodded, “Yes, m’lord. Reverence is her horse.”
Seman nodded with a knowing smile, “No wonder I felt so reminiscence from it.” He turned to , “That horse and I have so mories.”
“Good ones.” I say.
“No”
“Oh…” I look at Reverence who was literally ignoring Seman’s presence and looking up as if succumbing to fate. “I didn’t know old boy here would have a big background, aren’t you a famous one.”
“Yes, he is very my famous, m’lord.” The stable boy said, “He was originally the late great madam Religias’s horse and she took him to almost every fight she fought and both ca back unscathed.”
“And this here was proud of his achievents.” Seman tried to pat Reverence’s nuzzle only for him to snort it away, “See that, he still doesn’t let pat him… what an arrogant one.”
I saw Seman being bitterly towards the horse but on the inside, he wasn’t truly bitter, just reminiscent.
“Well, I will leave you to gather your bearings, I still need to talk with the captains before we leave.” Seman said and left.
The stable boy handed the reins to Reverence, “He’s all yours now, lord. Please do take extra care of him, he’s not much of health anymore.”
I take it, “You should have thought of that before putting him out for an extermination mission. But I’m sure, he’ll be just fine, won’t you Reverence?”
“Neigh!” Reverence snorted again at .
Translation: Of Course!
“Alright, at least you’re excited. It would be enough to carry us out through this whole shit.” Reverence gave a side eye which I evade and get up.
It felt a bit weird riding him. He was quite a bit shorter than my darling Sadie and I sure knew his speed was far lower too. But the old boy still felt sturdy even with my whole package over him.
“You won’t die on , right?” I ask as he tried to throw down, “Alright, alright, I get it, you’re a warhorse.”
Reverence snorted again and cald down.
“Well, I’ll leave you, m’lord.” The stable boy bowed to .
‘He’s still here?’ I think and shoo him away. Then I think about what to do before rembering about Lucian.
“We need to bring a guy with us, boy.” I say as Reverence neighed and shook his head, “Relax, he’s only going to tag along.”
Reverence moved through the crowded space as I searched for Lucian. But there were too many people with the sa appearance that I couldn’t even search with my special eyes.
As I kept searching, I found a familiar guy and went to him, “Hey, you!”
The soldier looked up and almost lost his balls, “Wh- Who are you?”
“It’s , Henry, Margaret’s Fiance.”
“Oh?” He relaxed at that. “It’s you, m’lord.”
“If you’re already scared before we even go there, what will you do when we actually do fight?”
The guy took it as a big insulted and retorted, “Nonsense!… I- I ant it is similar to nonsense. I won’t be scared when fighting, your grace. You can trust that I’ll kill every bandit ahead.”
“Alright, we’ll see about that. First tell , where is your buddy who got cucked?”
“What?” The guy raised a brow in confusion, “Who do you an?”
“I was talking about Lucian.”
The guy looked at with a pale face for a while before pointing to a crowd, “He’s over there.”
I look where he pointed and saw a lot of soldiers getting drunk in excitent. Yet among the excitent there was one guy at a corner, who drank and sulked alone.
“Found him. Thanks for the assist and ah… make sure to get your friend powered up before the fight. I don’t want him getting stabbed while absentmindedly trying to protect .”
The guy had anger brimming inside him hearing Henry’s words but knew how to keep his mouth shut. He smiled with a cracked face, “O- Of course, my lord.”
“Good, take this as inspiration.” I threw a bundle of cash as he caught them quickly and I turned towards Lucian’s direction.
Lucian’s friend looked at the pound notes in his hand then turned to Henry and frowned, “What an asshole!”
There were close to over a hundred soldiers who were getting drunk. They knew that they were going on a big fight ahead and also knew that it could be their last one, so they drank to their fill.
Seeing Reverence and approaching, the soldiers quickly gave way for us, especially because of .
“Hey, Lucian!” I call to the drunkard who was leaning on the table, half drunk and asleep.
“What?” Ca his drunk response.
“We need to go, you need to get up right now!”
“Who the hel-” Lucian looked up, ready to bark but stopped when he saw it was . His angry look turned to a frown, “Oh… it’s you.” Then suddenly fell on the table.
“Yo!”
“Just 10 minutes… I’ll be up after that.” Lucian said, his voice tired.
“We don’t have that long, get up already.” But instead of getting up, I only heard snores from the table.
‘Well, he’s a lost cause. I can’t bring him with like this.’ I think seeing Lucian sprawled on the table, sleeping with nightmares. ‘And I definitely can’t leave him behind too.’
I look around before spotting a group of jolly soldiers and call them, “Hey, you guys.”
They looked at , curious at my appearance, “Yes?”
I point to Lucian, “This guy needs to travel with us.”
They look at Lucian and frowned, “You sure about that?”
“I know and that’s why you four will be taking him with you.” They frowned further, “If you do it, I’ll give you this thing.”
I show them a small golden ball the size of a marble and their frowns instantly turned upside down, “So you wanna or do I call-”
“Of Course Sir!” They imdiately ran to and took Lucian to their shoulders, “We’ll bring him in tip-top condition!”
“Good” I turn to walk away but stopped, “And if tries to leave mid-stop or sothing, cut his head off.”
…
After becoming the babysitter of my own babysitter, I waited for a few minutes before Seman gave the order to leave.
The whole army started their movent and left the city through its main gates. Seman and the captains, stayed in the middle while navigating.
I was to stay by Seman’s side until further orders.
An order that I didn’t have any problem accepting. I would have lost my path anyway, gallivanting on my own.
It took us a 10 hour’s journey with the army to get to the specific location. When we ca there, I saw it was a highland grassy plain behind a heavy forest. All the roads through the forest and other ways, connecting to this place and the forest would hide our camp too.
A great place for ambush.
It was night by the ti we arrived so Seman told everyone to set camp, eat their dinner and rest for the night as the action would start tomorrow.
And as he said, ca early next morning, Seman called the captains to give battle orders and I followed too.
