The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 March of Ash

Overhead, Hawk laughed at their plan. It was like a huge face slap to the giants. First, the Dragon's friends smashed their city, now the humans showed up, and they were going to loot the place dry, leaving with a wagon caravan full of pilfered people and supplies.

It was kinder than the Frost Giants deserved for being Ice Element creatures, and he was looking forward to roasting any of them who tried to stop the caravan from leaving.

There were a half dozen wagons there, and everyone understood the plan without too much confusion. The carts were moved to link up in a chain, with a harness made by Rae for Thor to pull the whole convoy. They were strong, made to pull huge loads of gear and food for the Frost Giants, not just to carry a load of small Satyrs and starving humans. Thor looked at the six wagons with pleasure. That was more than enough to make a proper train behind him, and the General would definitely be impressed with him when he made it to the camp. Karl caught that thought, and realized that it was genius. Instead of going to the active lines, they could go through the smooth ash at the edge of the Magma Dragon's territory. The Frost Giants wouldn't follow them, and it was the fastest way out of the combat zone, though there was a long walk to the front lines, which had retreated away from the destruction, and they would have to rest or walk all night to make it there.

"Everyone into the carts. I will run along with Rae, but everyone else can rest while they protect the convoy. Once we exit the city, the patrols will see us, but stay with the caravan and let me and the beasts take care of them. We will catch up with you soon enough." Karl explained.

"Wait, we didn't find the summoning stone." Dana realized.

One of the satyr boys looked at her in terror, shaking his head. He whispered too low for her to hear, but Lotus relayed it for her. "He says that the stone is gone. The burning things smashed it into a million pieces, then melted the pieces."

Well, that was one way to guarantee that it wasn't used again.

With everyone loaded, Karl sent Thor out of the open gate and into the open.

The convoy was unmistakable, and a round of shouts went out as the patrol realized that the hidden survivors were escaping with a Lightning Cerro.

Thor took the convoy up to a gentle trot, which was as fast as he was comfortable going without tipping the wagons or throwing anyone out of them when they hit a bump.

[Rae, it's your time to shine. We made you behave all day, but you can make a mess now if you'd like.] Karl suggested.

Hawk laughed at them as Rae and her Golems sped toward the scouts, then the ice hating bird began to bombard the hapless Frost Giants with fireballs, intent on killing all of them before Rae could get to them.

But Rae was fast, and so were her Spider Golems. The Frost Giants hurled themselves to the side to avoid the bombardment, but that left them on the ground when the spiders arrived and tore them apart before moving on to everything else that they could see.

[Thank you for bringing them down to my level, that was much easier than jumping up on them.] Rae taunted Hawk as the bird moved to attack the next group before Rae got to them.

The refugees in the wagons didn't see a friendly sibling rivalry. What they saw was an Elite with a flaming bow in his hands, and a group of monsters tearing apart the Frost Giant patrols that had kept them captive for most of their lives. They didn't know what they had done to deserve this rescue, but they were definitely thanking the Dragon Gods for the assistance.

"Thor, where are you going?" Tessa asked from her spot on the Cerro's shoulders.
