Chereads / The Priestess of Rodona / Chapter 33 - Chapter 33

Chapter 33 - Chapter 33

Before anyone could say anything at all Levin's alarm tool for emergencies started to emit a message.

"To everyone in the church! The beast tide had broken out in Estrad and the city of Holger is completely destroyed. Let me repeat beast tide broke out in Estrad and city of Holger is destroyed! The beast tide hasn't shown signs of getting smaller as it's gathering more forces and getting larger and larger every day. It has destroyed many villages now and regardless it's not stopping or ending and the next destination is going to Holzard and the fort city of Jaridge. This is the end of an emergency broadcast."

When the emergency broadcast ended Levin and his family didn't have any time to gather their thoughts before the church did send another message.

"We are going to have an emergency meeting today in the evening around 6 pm. Gather there with your families and we will talk about the news from the end broadcast and plan what to do next as you know if Jaridge falls there aren't any fort cities anymore between us and Jaridge and our city would be next on the line." The broadcast ended again and only now they had time to gather their thoughts.

"Did I hear correctly? What is going to happen to us as I'm going to guess we are going to be sent to Jaridge or at least you Levin. So what is going to happen to us?" Jaana started to panic a little bit before Levin hugged her and even when Elvire didn't know what is happening but she also hugged Jaana and Jaana did calm down somewhat.

"It's going to be okay don't worry about it too much. Let's attend to the meeting tonight and let's see what will happen. But this is quite a new as a beast tide had never happened here so I actually don't know either what will happen.

So Falmir I'm sorry for doing this and saying this but wouldn't it be better for you to leave? But at the same time, I want to ask a favor from you. I'm still a citizen of Holzard so could you possibly go and warn those villages and tell them to evacuate?"

Levin stopped and looked at Falmir with pleading eyes as he was still the paladin of this continent and he didn't want to see civilian casualties at all and if there was a way to prevent that he would do it.

After thinking it while Falmir finally answered.

"You are an honest lad and I like your upright personality so I will accept this task from you and will start to plan a sightseeing trip around this country now. But for that, I would need a map as I don't know the villages or terrain around here."

Falmir said and flashed a gentle but a warm smile towards Levin and his family.

"Oh a map waits a minute I will go and get one," Levin said hurriedly and started to search through his spatial bag and pulled out a scroll of paper and when he opened it there was a detailed map of the continent.

"As you might know we are currently at Sine the capital city at the kingdom of Holzard and the fort city of Jaridge is here." Levin pointed to another place on the map to show Falmir what he was talking about.

"So these villages and cities would be in the path of the beast tide and even when I don't like Estrad but its citizens haven't done anything to us as they also have to listen what their king says," Levin said and added markings on the map that it would be easier for Falmir to see where the villages and cities should be.

"Thank you for so much for doing this and listening to my selfish wish. But you really are the only one I could trust with this and even say that you have a chance to succeed and survive from this. But let me say this. Take care of yourself and stay safe I wish all of the best for you." Levin Said and bowed down towards Falmir and Jaana hugged him with Elvire that was sad that the nice old grandpa was leaving so suddenly and she didn't know why.

Falmir took his leave after this and Levin was again with his family but he didn't want to think about the future now and maybe spend his last time with his family. 

As if he was sent to the fields no one would know his or her faith there. Just one small mistake and you would be dead especially if the beasts were now in a frenzied state so they would fight to the death then and not care about the injuries.
