Chapter 14: Here They Come
The bird-like creature, carrying a man in full silver armor, soared through the vast blue ocean at an incredible speed. After a while, they reached land—a massive city surrounded by giant walls on all sides. The buildings were tall and colorful, with many people walking in the streets. The place was full of life.
The man and his bird-like creature landed in an area filled with tents and a vast training ground where knights in armor practiced. Some wielded swords, while others trained with bows and arrows.
The creature landed in a designated area where similar bird-like creatures stood in a row. The armored man dismounted, removing his helmet to reveal his brown hair and sharp black eyes. Without hesitation, he walked toward a large yellow tent.
Stepping inside, he shouted, "Captain Haijo!!!"
"What?" A man clad in golden armor with long yellow hair and yellow eyes replied.
The brown-haired man approached and reported everything.
"So, you're saying the Beastmen we kicked out of Gleua months ago have settled on the island of TEOD?" Haijo asked.
"Yes, sir! They've even built houses and large farms there," the man confirmed.
Haijo sat in a chair and muttered, "Hmmm... I heard that monsters on that island have been fleeing because some 'Heaven God' or something is protecting the area... Looks like it was true. There's no way those weakling Beastmen could take down such powerful monsters."
He paused, contemplating, then smirked. "The resources on that island could be extremely valuable...."
His smirk widened into a twisted grin as he spoke cockily, "Then why not kick them out of that island too?"
