The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304 Orphans Delivered

Karl took a fifteen-minute nap as they were preparing a proper hot meal for everyone's breakfast, and woke up to the smell of roasting meat and pancakes.

"Good timing. We're just getting ready to serve everyone. Thor passed out food for the Satyrs, who need roughage, or they get stomachaches. They can and will still eat with us, but not large quantities." Lotus explained.

Karl nodded blearily before Doug passed him a strong cup of coffee to bring his brain back online. That was just the thing that he needed after an all-nighter. Most of the team had slept, though he had to wake some of them up to help with the rough patches.

"Get a bit of sleep. Thor can lead us in, and we will guard the caravan now that the sun is up. At least that way, you will have a few hours sleep while we finish the trip. The ground is getting more solid by the kilometre, and the army knows that we are coming. They arranged to have Red Dragon Clerics airlifted to this location while you were napping, and they will be there to take over the refugees when we arrive." Doug explained as Karl sipped at the glorious black nectar of life and cleared his thoughts.

The Satyrs happily made a spot for Karl in one of the wagons, and Karl leaned back against the side in the corner, so he would be able to see out if anything required him to wake up.

He ate breakfast there before passing out, and what seemed like seconds later, a light tap at his shoulder brought him awake.

"Sir, we are ten minutes from the army camp. The warrior man just met with a scout, and they're escorting us in." One of the boys whispered.

"Thank you. I will join the others at the front." Karl replied quietly, then gently shifted so he wouldn't rock the wagon too badly when he vaulted out.

Karl checked his spaces, and found that both Rae and Hawk were asleep already. There were no more threats that needed their attention, so they caught up on sleep while they could. Inside the army camp might have its own dangers, but those were human dangers, and the humans could deal with them on their own.

They didn't have to go all the way to the camp, as fate would have it. A large group of red robed clerics ran out to greet them, drawn by the presence of Tessa on the back of Thor. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

"Priestess, where did you find such a magnificent steed?" Asked a sharp-eyed High Priestess, who had dragon horns above her ears, and a ridge of spikes down the centre of her head, along with slotted golden dragon eyes.

That was a sure sign of either dragon blood, a lot of favour from her Goddess, or more likely both.

The appearance set the beastkin at ease. If they had sent someone who was obviously not human to meet them, then these people might not be too bad.

"He's a bonded companion to Commander Karl, on my left." She explained.

The High Priestess looked at Karl in shock, making him wonder if he had something on his face. He hadn't shaved in a while, and he had been sleeping in the wagon as they drove through the ash, so he likely looked like one of the miners coming to the surface after a shift right now.

Fortunately, he had unequipped his white cloak when they entered the ash, as it was too warm for the environment, so he could at least put on a clean layer.

Then he realized that he didn't have to. He could swap into the Commander Rank student's suit when they reached camp if he had to go indoors somewhere.

The refugees were quickly sorted by age, and Rae erected a wall of spider silk to make a changing room for them, while the clerics hung bag showers so they could get clean before changing into the traditional visitors' hassocks that the church passed out to everyone.

"Have they eaten?" One of the Priests asked quietly.
