Chapter 46

Chapter 46 – Chapter 7: Advent #4

There were six elder dragons in the world of Knight Saga .

They had the same power was a god, but the users of Knight Sage treated the elder dragons like they were just an insignificant background . The reason was simple: only one of the six elder dragons, Queian, the guardian, affected the game directly .

'He only appeared indirectly . '

Queian, the guardian, also known as a saint dragon, was a strong supporter of Locke, the warrior . He had given Locke the strongest sword, ‘the Warrior’s Sword’, and Queian had also arranged the best teachers for him .

The remaining five dragons were only mentioned occasionally in item descriptions such as for the Thunder Light Anvil .

The elder dragons .

They were an existence that probably couldn’t be confronted in Knight Saga .

However, In-gong had a little bit of contact with them .

This was done through Earth Quaker, the gauntlet with the enchantment of the great Enkidu .

A piece of Ainkel, the watcher, had showed up in front of In-gong .

He wondered why . Moreover, why did Ainkel want to speak with him?

In-gong observed Ainkel . Dressed in clothes of blue leaves and stems, she was the manifestation of something other than a human . The ears that protruded from her hair were pointed at the ends like a pixie’s, while deer antlers sprouted from her head .

"I am a piece of Ainkel, a fragment of her that fell on Enger Plains . ”

Her voice was as beautiful and mysterious as her appearance . However, the contents didn’t seem right .

She was a piece of Ainkel . Moreover, her expression was frozen .

Whether she read In-gong’s mind or had simply guessed, the woman in front of him, the piece of Ainkel, nodded .

"Yes, Watcher Ainkel is already dead . I am a piece of her strong will that has remained in the world . ”

She hadn’t emerge in Knight Saga because she was already dead? However, what was the reason behind a dragon dying? Had she died from old age?

It was a story that he would have ignored in the past, but he couldn’t now because he had seen Enkidu . Such a huge mountain-like creature wouldn’t have simply died .

However, the piece of Ainkel had nothing more to say about Ainkel’s death .

She frowned and said,

“There is no time . I encountered a miracle that was formed through layers of coincidences . I found you due to Enkidu’s power in that weapon . You moved closer to this direction and my call was answered, so this encounter could be created . ”

She seemed to be talking about the moment that Earth Quaker amplified In-gong’s aura .

"I am a fragment of Watcher Ainkel . Over a long period of time, I was reborn as the guardian of Enger Plains . The children of Enger Plains call me Green Wind . ”

‘Green Wind!

In-gong knew that name . It was the name that the centaurs and satyrs prayed to . According to Knight Saga’s setting, it was due to Green Wind that Enger Plains could be protected .

The piece of Ainkel, Green Wind, stepped closer to In-gong . The surrounding scenery then changed once more .

It had become a small stone temple in the middle of the grasslands . It was a simple place where people prayed and left .

"This is my home and it contains the source of energy of Watcher Ainkel’s fragment . ”

At Green Wind’s words, the red and yellow light rose again from Earth Quaker, which was on In-gong’s right arm . Green Wind stared straight into In-gong’s eyes and said,

“The monsters coming down from the north are heading to my home . They intend to destroy my home and devour my spirit, then Enger Plains will be lost . My children will also be in great danger . ”

"Are you referring to the casios?”

In-gong asked for the first time . Green Wind shook her head roughly .

“It isn’t just them! It is different from the previous times . There are those who descended with the casios . ”

Green Wind hugged her shoulders, then the surrounding scenery changed once again . There were wild barking sounds as the casios ran between giant monsters . The monsters each had a head that was like a goat’s while their upper body was like an ogre and their lower body had four beast legs like a centaur . It was like looking at a huge reptile .

It wasn’t just a fantasy . At this moment, they were actually moving .

"My children alone can’t stop the threat from the north, but you are different . You already have Enkidu’s power, so you will be able to gain strength from Ainkel’s fragment . With that strength, you can stop the threat from the north . Save the Enger Plains and my children . ”

Green Wind’s tone was as soft as the wind . She grabbed In-gong’s hand .

“There is no time . They are coming already . Please hurry . ”

In-gong’s consciousness flew into the sky at that moment and he had an overview of the Enger Plains from Green Wind’s viewpoint . He could see the small temple and the path of the monsters descending from the north .

"May the blessing of the wind be with you . ”

Green Wind kissed In-gong’s forehead gently and in that moment, everything disappeared in a flash of light .

"Prince!”

In-gong’s eyes flashed open and Carack and Karma were in front of his eyes . The tent was lit up by a lamp .

Instead of answering Carack, In-gong gazed at his right arm . Instead of Earth Quaker, his right hand was holding a small piece of green light .

"A piece of Green Wind . ”

In-gong mumbled and activated the mini-map hastily . Even if he hadn’t been there yet, he could confirm it .

The small temple was located in the northeast . The casios were moving from the southeast, so it was no wonder the centaurs didn’t notice .

As Ferocious Eyes said, the centaurs were watching the north where the casios had always been .

In-gong guessed the distance roughly and swallowed his saliva . LIke Green Wind had said, he needed to hurry .

"Get up, Carack . Prepare to fight . I have to go to Ferocious Eyes right now . ”

Karma was baffled by the sudden words, but In-gong’s knight Carack was different . Without any doubts, he jumped up and started moving .

As In-gong left the tent decisively with Carack and Karma, he gazed up at the sky . It was late afternoon and close to twilight .

"Ferocious Eyes is in his tent . Go with Karma . I will prepare the dracos . ”

Now that the situation was like this, Karma no longer showed any confusion . She headed to Ferocious Eyes’ tent with In-gong .

“Your Highness?”

The centaurs guarding Ferocious Eyes’ tent were surprised by In-gong’s sudden appearance but couldn’t raise their weapons to stop him . In-gong entered the tent and said immediately,

"I received a revelation from Green Wind . We have to go and fight right now . ”

He presented the piece of Green Wind to stop any arguments . Ferocious Eyes’ eyebrows raised as he took the piece of Green Wind In-gong received in the dream .

The centaurs and satyrs around Ferocious Eyes recognized Green Wind’s power . One of them asked in a confused voice,

“H-how?”

It seemed like he wanted to know . He wanted to understand why the 9th Prince received Green Wind’s revelation .

However, it was the reality . Ferocious Eyes returned the piece of Green Wind to In-gong and asked,

“Where should we go?”

"Tribe Chief?”

The centaurs cried out with amazement . The promised meeting day was three days later . All the tribe warriors would gather then .

However, Ferocious Eyes only looked at In-gong .

"There is a small temple in the northeast . We have to go there . Green Wind is in danger . ”

Ferocious Eyes was also aware of the temple in the northeast . It had never been considered an important place but Ferocious Eyes didn’t show any doubts .

“I believe Prince . ”

The meaning of Ferocious Eyes’ words was obvious . The centaurs knew him and didn’t cry out any longer . They just ran out of the tent and blew their horns . It was the signal for battle .

In-gong exited the tent with Ferocious Eyes and saw Carack leading two dracos .

"Prince!”

In-gong equipped Earth Quaker on his right arm and got on top of the draco . Karma brought In-gong out of the settlement .

The situation was urgent . He had never imagined this would happen when he first left the Demon King’s Palace .

It had been a direct mission from the demon king .

Did Mitra know that the situation would unfold like this? Moreover, if he had known, why did he choose In-gong instead of the other princes and princesses?

He had a few more questions .

Why were the casios showing this behaviour now? How had he known about Green Wind’s dwelling when even the centaurs hadn’t known?

There was something – one correct answer that existed for all his questions .

In-gong’s thoughts were interrupted . The centaurs were ready to depart . They were in a rush, so the supplies weren’t perfect .

Ferocious Eyes blew a huge horn . In-gong and 300 centaurs started running behind him .

&

The maneuverability of the centaur troops, who were all cavalry, was tremendous . In-gong had marched with orcs during the subjugation of Red Lightning tribe, so he realized the difference in mobility between the cavalry and infantry .

While they were sprinting, sunset was gradually getting closer . Karma, the only infantry among the troops, kept sweating but stayed by In-gong’s side .

The sight of so many centaurs on the plains was extraordinary . Those who were running at the front found the small temple covered in green light, unlike its usual state . They also found a group of casios a little further away .

"Oh, my god . ”

"Green Wind . "

All doubts about their chief’s orders were gone . Some of them couldn’t resist the impulse to look at In-gong .

Ferocious Eyes remained calm . The centaurs gradually lowered the speed of their advance and measured the number of casios .

It was estimated that there were 400~500 . Moreover, it was the first time they had seen the monsters that were mixed in with the casios .

Due to the large numbers and unknown enemies, they would have normally avoided fighting . However, this wasn’t a fight that could be avoided .

"Prince, they are baffled by our appearance . ”

Ferocious Eyes stopped and said to him . It was the last breath before the battle began .

In-gong gazed at the casios as well and he remembered Green Wind’s words .

She didn’t say to simply fight . In-gong had to absorb the remaining fragment of Ainkel to defeat the northern threat .

There was something in the temple . In-gong decided to tell Ferocious Eyes .

"I am going to the temple . Don’t let them approach it . ”

Ferocious Eyes didn’t ask anymore . He just took out a bow and said to In-gong,

"I will give you nine people . Stay safe . ”

A horn sounded between the centaurs . Ferocious Eyes and the centaurs started running in a diagonal direction like they were blocking the temple, while In-gong ran straight to the temple . Carack, Karma and several centaurs followed In-gong .

Instead of the sound of a horn, there were a large roar among the casios . In the sky, twilight was spreading .
