Chapter 635 Returning to the Team

Wooooh! Woooh!

It was the sound of horns. After hearing this, the wolfriders suddenly dispersed and ran in all directions.

Head Commander Edi screamed, Stop, men! Stop moving forward!

Since it was getting late, it would be a very dangerous thing to run after wolfriders. Besides, theyve made quite a progress already. With that charge formation, only about 1500 wolfriders were left. It was actually a record-breaker. Every knight was thrilled to be part of this mission.

After the fight ended, the humans started scavenging the battlefield. It was very hard, especially when the night was getting so dark. Arrows. Spears. Valuables. The knights had to retrieve anything that they could get back.

After tapping on the mount wolf kings neck, Abel rode back towards the team.

Who is it? a head commander screamed. Suddenly, four of the intermediate wizards appeared right next to Abel. They all activated spell runes and pointed towards him.

To react to his, Abel switched to his steel sword and contract of the ancient shield. It was the only thing he could rely on against intermediate wizards.

One of the intermediate wizards quickly deactivated his spell, Its K3516! Hes back!

The other three also canceled their spells, Hes one of us!

Abel recognized one of these men. The name was Kauper, the one who cleaned things up after Vice Instructor Layard was killed.

An intimate wizard shook his head, Hey, you! Do sneak up on us so quietly!

Another one said, Very brave of you for doing that. If Kauper didnt know you, we wouldve all attacked you at once.

Wizard Kauper laughed, Alright, alright. K3516 here is a newcomer. Hes learned his lessons, so take it easy now.

Impressive! an intermediate wizard raised his thumb, A newcomer on the frontline? I wasnt like you when I first got here.

Abel unsheathed his weapons and bowed, Thank you so much, Wizard Kauper.

Welcome back, K3516!

Head Commander Edi was walking towards them. He was very pleased to see Abel return. All the other team members were following him. They all nodded and smiled when they saw Abel back.

Needless to say, Abel took a very big risk back there. He went to distract the worgens all on his own. He even had to escape from the intermediate orc priests, and they only knew about that a lot later.

Within the fifty mile radius that was under the miracle spirits surveillance, if there wasnt any intermediate priest that was spotted, no intermediate wizards would be deployed. It was the golden rule of the war. That being said, Head Commander Edi and the rest were very happy that the reinforcements arrived.

Come to think of it, Wizard Kauper said to one of his comrades, Its a bit strange, isnt it? The orcs had already left, but weve never ended up finding the intermediate orc priests.

Abel had a very worried look on his face. Thankfully, he was wearing a mask, so there was no way that the others could see it.

Now, this could go two ways. It could be that the intermediate priests were killed. Or, they were rescued by their fellow soldiers. Whatever the case was, it was no longer possible to see them again.

An intermediate wizard replied to Wizard Kauper, Just forget about it for now. We cant take too much time cleaning the battlefield. We cant stay out of the Miracle Wall, remember?

K3305 slapped his hand on Abels shoulder, My dearest friend! Youre alive! I mean, I knew you would be.

K3308 said with a sigh, Cant say the same, Im afraid. You are a lucky man, K3516. That was a total of 10000 orcs you have escaped.

Head Commander Markham frowned, Watch your mouth, K3308!

What? K3308 lowered his head and murmured, But I was just

Head Commander Markham turned to shake Abels hands, Thank you for your service, K3516!

Abel scratched his head as he shook Markhams hands, About that, uh. I think they came for me.

What do you mean?

Abel explained, I killed a head wolfrider commander the other day. You see the mount wolf king I have with me? Its from him.

Head Commander Markham shook his head, Its starting to make sense now. The mount wolf king is a very treasure asset, after all.

K3003 was starting to panic, Wait, what? Are you saying were in trouble? Oh, no no no no! Theyre just going to keep coming at us, then! And that war drum K3516 stole. We just added more fuel to the fire!

K3308 was starting to get irritated, If you are scared, just go home!

K3003 argued back, Im not scared, K3308! Im just pointing out a fact here!

Stop fighting, you two, K3305 suddenly stood up, Its me. Im the one to blame. K3516 killed that head wolfrider commander because of me. Im the case of all this.

Head Commander Edi shook his head, No! You did the right thing, K3305. You dont need to apologize for the death of one orc. In fact, as the protectors of this city, it is our utmost responsibility to kill any orc that we can!

Wizard Kauper teleported right next to Abel, Pardon me now, then. Please, gentlemen, continue with your hunting quest. As part of the reinforcement team, Ill have to head back to Miracle City now.

Head Commander Edi gave a deep bow, Thank you so much for your help.

When the torches on the ground started extinguishing, things started to quiet down. Almost all the corpses were cleared. They couldnt get rid of the bloodstains, though. It had become a part of the landscape here.

Again, the moon hid behind the night clouds. It was getting very hard to sleep.

Head Commander Edi announced, Hear me out, men! Lets find a place to sleep!

Luckily, no man was injured. Everyone was fine to walk on their own feet. Soon, after being led to the back of a valley, the team began to make camp. With just one or two men as scouts, they had no worries that the orcs would find them.
