Chapter 158
The manufacturing of chimeras with human intelligence.
Although it was still unclear whose scheme it was,
the chimeras had clearly displayed their hostility toward Altair.
*Clip-clop.*
Upon hearing this through a carrier pigeon, Khal felt a sense of foreboding and immediately sped toward Altair on Kurabil.
“Neigh!”
Far behind, the Crimson Gale Knights were chasing after him with all their might, but they were far from catching up to Kurabil’s speed.
*Snort.*
Martin, who had been pushing his horse to the limit to keep up, quickly switched to another horse, his expression filled with anxiety. Goetz, seemingly understanding Martin’s feelings, spoke to him.
“Are you worried about the family we left behind in Altair?”
“Of course.”
“Then don’t worry. The old man will manage to hold them off somehow.”
“……”
Martin felt a complex mix of emotions seeing the usually talkative and distracted Goetz so calm.
“Why are you so certain?”
“His only problem is being overly romantic; what that old man has experienced is beyond what we can predict. In fact, you can’t even match his intuition for seeing through the battlefield or catching the opponent’s weakness.”
“……”
Usually, Martin would have answered arrogantly.
But this time, he couldn’t easily deny it.
Licht had a record of surviving Altair twice—something no one else had done.
“More than anything, he’s our life’s mentor, isn’t he?”
