Chapter 13 - Rescue

Erciliana felt that the people who had come to her had already begun to be deceived by the situation she had created, so she wanted to make the final touches so that they would immediately take her to the settlement.

"Help me, help me!" Erciliana said while some of the others among the people who came were still deep in doubt.

Erciliana raised her voice while raising her hand up, what the people around Erciliana didn't know was, Erciliana's gesture of raising her hand was actually a code for Haamos who was watching from a distance.

It was a code that they deliberately came up with and mutually agreed upon, if Erciliana used that code, it would mean that Haamos had to show his figure to frighten those who came to help his Empress.

"Look! He's already so scared to be in here, we have to get him inside or things will get worse!" the man with the binoculars said it again.

From the start he had empathized with this pregnant woman, so he didn't want to waste too much time thinking about whether he should help her or not.

On the other hand, Haamos who saw the queen's code immediately responded with a movement of his wings. This he did to give a dramatic effect on the people around the queen.

The moment Haamos flapped his wings, a sudden gust of wind was created between the two wings and blew far towards the queen.

Huu! Leaves and dry branches fell down because of the strong gusts of wind, Haamos also accompanied them with a ferocious groan to add to the spookiness.

Feeling the sudden gust of wind accompanied by the sound of wild beasts, everyone around Erciliana suddenly widened their eyes in surprise.

"What's that?"

"So fierce!"

"Quick, we have to get back soon, whatever it is, he must be something sinister!" they shouted to each other.

The sound that Haamos made was so scary that even the birds that were perched in the dense trees had to fly away for fear of the sound.

So of course those who were in Erciliana's partition also felt fear of what had just happened.

Even the people in the village who didn't come out felt that sinister sensation when they heard the groaning sound just now.

"Help! He will be here soon!" Erciliana pretended to be weak once again, even when she spoke she looked troubled and breathless.

He spoke as if he knew what was behind the strong gusts of wind and the dreadful sound earlier.

"Raise him! We must return to the settlement immediately!" a well-built person who seemed to have the authority within the group immediately gave the direction.

Hearing that, the man with the binoculars immediately held the pregnant woman in his arms and walked carefully back to the settlement.

His intention was to help and help this pregnant woman, so he couldn't move too fast and rush.

Because this woman was pregnant, she was afraid that if she moved too fast and in a hurry, it could be fatal to the baby inside this woman's womb.

After hurrying, a few moments later they finally returned to the settlement.

Erciliana, who was still in the arms of a burly man, opened her eyes slightly and peeked. She felt relieved because she was really brought to their current settlement.

Elsewhere, Haamos also continues to monitor the state of his queen there. Because after all he could not simply believe in a competitive society like them.

Moreover, the queen was not someone they knew, so he had to keep monitoring and guarding the queen from a distance.

Erciliana was placed on a bed in a room that seemed to be the room of one of the residents' houses there, so as not to be seen as pretending Erciliana took about 2 hours in the bed before deciding to wake up.

While Erciliana pretended to faint in her bed, she was actually eavesdropping on the people who had come to save her.

They were talking in the same room, so it was quite easy for Erciliana to overhear their conversation.

"Where do you think this woman came from?" asked an old man with gray hair and beard. His voice sounded heavy as he asked just now.

"I dunno, but he looks so messed up!" said the man with the binoculars. Of all the people present, he was the first to decide to take the woman and save her.

"Did any of you see something attack him over there?" asked the old man once again.

"We didn't get to see it, because just with the sound the forest in the south becomes so scary! So we immediately rushed home as soon as we heard his voice!" a rabbit answered confidently.

"Are you sure he didn't follow all the way here? It could become a threat!" turn around at the window, the old man looked at the forest to the south with a deep gaze.

This old man thought, if that woman was attacked by something scary in the forest a few hours ago before finally escaping to their country, that means the one who attacked her could have followed.

And if the creatures that attack them follow them to the settlement, then it can become a real threat and danger to them.

"None of us saw his form, but it looks like we got away before he could follow us!" Answer someone else.

This old man wasn't the only one who thought that way, they had also predicted the same thing so they immediately rushed away from that place as soon as they heard that scary sound.

And according to him, after looking around as they left the forest in the south earlier, it seemed that no one was following them.

"I covered a long radius with my binoculars, and from my vision it didn't look like anyone was following us!" the man holding his binoculars added once more.

With binoculars in hand it would be easier to cover a longer distance view, and he made use of that to survey the surroundings on the way back.
