The Herb King

Chapter 386: War Against the Beast Army (1)

"Charles! You can't decide on this matter without my approval!" Shouted the patriarch of the Featherkind Family.

Charles stared at him with a serious look and replied. "Patriarch, no one is willing to accept this job! We can't afford to waste more time here! I'll go and delay those beasts!"

"You!" The patriarch of the Featherkind Family didn't expect that Charles would actually be so stubborn. Looking at the latter's determined gaze, he knew that he could no longer change Charles' decision.

"Are you sure about this, Charles? Stopping the beast army by yourself will be dangerous." Dan stared at him with a stern expression.

"As long as I can help Warmridge get through this crisis, I don't mind dying on the battlefield!" Charles replied in a firm tone.

His words made everyone feel ashamed of themselves.

"I will go with him. I have four Nascent Soul Espers in my army including myself. Together with Sir Charles, we should be able to stop the beast army from entering the city." Kenneth spoke with a light smile.

Charles didn't expect him to volunteer so he was surprised. "Sir Kenneth..."

Sensing his astonished gaze, Kenneth smiled and waved his hand at him.

"Good! With the support from Sir Kenneth's army, we no longer have to worry about the beast army. We can put our focus on eliminating the rebel forces!" The patriarch of the Silverton Family said.

"Since everyone has already made a decision, let's head to battle!" Dan muttered with a cold smile.

The faces of Serena and Gargan became serious after hearing Kazak's words.

"You!" Argent couldn't offer a rebuttal and he could only stare at Kazak with absolute despise.

"I know you hate me, but we are still fellow beasts. There must not be any conflict between us. If we are significantly weakened because of internal conflict, humans will attack us and destroy our territories. Do you want that to happen?" Kazak's expression suddenly turned cold as he looked Argent.

Argent didn't dare say anything when he saw his chilling gaze. He lowered his head and stayed silent.

Kazak moved his gaze back to the human army and said. "We need to stay united if we want a place in this human-dominated continent."

While they were chatting, the two armies soon clashed. Hundreds of soldiers from the human side and hundreds of beasts from the beast army died in that initial contact.

The sound of battle soon echoed across the area. The fearless shouting of the soldiers and the fearsome cries of the savage beasts echoed in all directions.

Amid the battle, William's small group was also engaged in combat. They were fighting against a gathering of fifty savage beasts. They were significantly outnumbered, but because of their superior combat prowess, they managed to hold their ground.

"Use the runes given by the lord if needed! All of us must return alive after everything is over!" William shouted after slaying a large savage beast.

Hearing his shout, his subordinates were invigorated. They fought more fiercely. The savage beasts fell one after another with their combined efforts. However, after all of their enemies were defeated, more savage beasts came.

At this moment, they witnessed a strong savage beast ripping apart the human army's defensive line. The scene stunned them, but they couldn't rush to aid them since they were held down by a huge number of savage beasts.

"Nooo!!!"
