The First Legendary Beast Master novel Chapter 43

Chapter 43 From Above

The hawk took off into the afternoon sky, making a larger loop around the town to see if there was anything approaching, while watching for anything that might take the opportunity of the fog to move about.

He was pretty sure that he hadn't missed anything during the day, but there were always ways to hide from him, so maybe like a mouse in a hole there were hiding monsters in the town just waiting to come out.

He had gone ten kilometres out, moving in a spiral pattern as he circled the town, when he found what they were waiting for.

[I found it. A whole bunch of Goblins are headed to the town now. They're just putting out their fires and starting to move. Do you want me to follow them?] He asked.

Karl frowned. That was close to the worst-case scenario that they had imagined when they prepared for the evening.

[Keep tabs on them, but make sure that is the only thing coming our way. We can likely deal with a pack of Goblins, but if there is something stronger than a Common Monster, we could be in trouble.] He replied.

Karl had an impression of where Hawk was in relation to himself, so he knew that that Goblins weren't too close to the town yet, and he had some time before they arrived, but not enough that he could count on making any real fortifications.

What he should do was call the Academy and make sure that this was part of the plan. Since they didn't know if the teachers were aware the town was empty when they were sent, it would be best to make sure. All he had to do was find the academy's phone number somewhere. Assuming that it was even listed.

Contacting the Elites wasn't something that a regular person could just do casually, so the number might not be easily available even with the computer here in the lobby. They should have most of an hour before the Goblins reached the town, so he would wake Dana up in half an hour to get freshened up and have something to eat before the fighting started.

[The Goblins are splitting up. They will be going all over town, but not in a big pack.] Hawk did his best to explain the situation as the Goblins got closer to the town's low wall.

[Alright, you can start working once they are in the fog and separated. Just don't get hurt. I will wake Dana now.] Karl replied.

He gently shook the mage awake and gestured toward the break room in the back of the lobby.

"There are washrooms back there, if you want to get clean and grab a drink before the fight starts." He whispered. _{freēwēbnovel.com}

"How long do we have?"

Karl listened to Hawk's running updates and did his best to calculate.
