Chapter 349
“Diligence, even in this weather.”
Crack!
The moment Enkrid muttered, a bolt of lightning split the sky.
“Something coming?”
Crang asked. Enkrid nodded.
The weather was in a frenzy. A storm had suddenly erupted.
Rain had been falling since their departure, but who could have expected the weather to turn this erratic?
It was erratic enough to befriend Ragna. The storm’s unpredictability was as bad as that lunatic's terrible sense of direction.
Yesterday had been a bright, clear spring day—now, without warning, a tempest raged.
“There are seven ahead, ten on the left, eight on the right, and six behind us.”
Jaxon reported.
Thududududu!
The rain showed no sign of relenting.
It pounded the ground as if trying to tear it apart.
Even with an oil-treated cloak draped over him, the wind drove the rain sideways, lashing his face. His cheeks stung from the impact.
The wind was relentless, howling with such force that it was difficult to keep his eyes open.
The raindrops hammering his clothes felt like arrows meant to strip away his senses.
Attacking in this weather?
That wasn’t just diligence.
Their dedication to duty was something else entirely.
Or maybe they had no choice.
“Are your families being held hostage? Is that it?”
Enkrid raised his voice, directing it forward.
As he spoke, he took a step forward, his boot sinking halfway into the muddy road. It was the kind of day where every step was a bother.
Ambushing in weather like this?
Wouldn’t they catch a cold?
The thought was almost innocent.
This was a road, technically, but only because large, flat stones had been laid down to create a path.
Crang had mentioned that one of his ancestors, known as a wise king, had ordered this road built.
That was why it was called the Royal Blessing Road.
It stretched from the frontier to the royal capital—a direct route leading to the heart of the kingdom.
The entire kingdom of Naurillia had been built around it, with cities lined up along its path.
And yet, even on a road like this, Ragna still managed to get lost.
Right on cue, the legendary master of losing his way turned around.
The enemies closing in from behind were advancing, step by step.
