Chapter 330: Reinforcements
As they approached the massive mountain range that divided the Monsoon Continent from the Asani Continent, a subtle easing of tension spread through the group. The familiar terrain brought a measure of comfort. The battle was over for now, but they knew the war was far from finished.
"We’ll rest once we’ve reached the peak of the mountain range," Jormungandr stated, his gaze fixed ahead. "Stay vigilant until then."
The group pressed on, navigating rugged paths and steep inclines. The setting sun cast long shadows over the landscape, but their pace did not falter. Each step carried them further from the immediate threat of the hive.
As they approached the ridge’s peak, Freya paused, glancing over her shoulder at the distant horizon. "Do you think Vlad is okay?" she asked quietly. The viking princess could not hide the worry in her eyes.
Jormungandr looked back briefly. "If anyone can handle what’s out there, it’s Boss," he replied, a note of confidence in his voice.
Suddenly, Jormungandr’s eyes narrowed as his A.I. Chip detected tens of thousands of life forms just beyond the mountain’s peak, hidden from sight. Instead of alarm, a wide smile appeared on his face.
"Good, they’re already in position," The small yellow cat spoke with a sense of thrill.
His words puzzled the group, but he offered no explanation, simply signaling them to continue. As they reached the summit, a breathtaking vista unfolded before them. Below, thousands of warriors stood in formation, waiting. Smiles spread across the faces of the group as they saw the reinforcements.
Viserin’s heart swelled with pride as he recognized twenty thousand soldiers of the Turkin Kingdom standing at attention. Among them, clad in battle-worn armor, was General Mark. The sight of his trusted general brought the Turkin King much-needed relief.
