Chapter 445: Lifting the Land
Some others also began to follow the kowtowing man, expressing their gratitude.
"Alright, I accept your gratitude. Raise your heads—I will send you there right now," Aldrian said.
"Savior, how did you—" Before the man could finish his question, he and the others suddenly disappeared, leaving only Aldrian and the broken Karl behind. Aldrian had sent hundreds of captives just outside the town’s eastern walls.
The sudden appearance of so many people at once immediately caught the attention of the guards in the area. The captives were momentarily stunned by the abrupt change in their surroundings. But when they realized where they were, many of them erupted into cheers, overjoyed to have finally escaped that place!
Many shed tears of gratitude, offering their thanks to the heavens and to Aldrian.
Those trailing behind Aldrian were also stunned when they sensed multiple presences appearing all at once near the eastern walls. They turned toward the area, only to freeze in shock at the sight of a massive crowd of unfamiliar people who had seemingly teleported there.
The town’s guards were already making their way toward the scene. Due to the sheer number of newcomers and the movement of the guards, they quickly drew the attention of the townspeople.
The town’s guards were part of Karl’s forces stationed there. Many had already rushed to the eastern side after witnessing their leader, Karl, being taken away by a mysterious figure. With their highest-ranking leader gone, command now fell to the town guard’s chief commander—yet even he was at a loss over what had just transpired.
Moreover, after learning the identity of the mysterious person, he did not dare to pursue or confront him directly. Instead, he ordered the troops to stand by on the eastern side. The captain of the eastern wall shared the same sentiment and chose to wait and observe. For now, the most they could do was monitor Aldrian’s movements.
The chief commander had no choice but to report the situation to the main family. Even if they gathered all the troops in the town, he doubted they could stop that masked man.
How could they possibly face someone capable of defeating tens of thousands of soldiers supported by flying fortresses? That would be nothing short of suicide!
