Chapter 117: B2: C17: I’m Him 3
Zarian pulled away from Eleanor’s patrol. He jacked into other spiders that were surveying events around Ride-or-Die Village.
He watched Roland the Rose Knight lead a grizzled group of ten killers against a nest of monsters that came from the Blood Prairies.
The monsters were blood raptors, a dinosaur-like creature with scales, feathers, and large talons. The monsters stood as tall as a horse and had big lizard heads with wicked man-eating teeth.
They were migrating from the colder north with nothing much in their way except for the area around Ride-or-Die Village. They attacked and ate for sport, too, and had the monstrous nature of growing too fast if they set up a lair.
Thankfully, they were mainly in the high Level 40s to low Level 50s.
However, there were over a thousand of them.
Roland and his killers pushed as far as they could go before Roland deployed an Advanced Roller Golem and performed a tactical retreat. The young men had to haul out their wounded as their healer mended severe injuries on the go to avoid getting surrounded by hounding blood raptors.
Other than the spectral spiders diving in to secure their escape, Zarian held back from helping. This was a solid learning lesson for Roland and the other youngsters.
The kiddos needed to practice tactical retreats to avoid getting themselves killed, and it was great that Roland knew when to pull out.
