Moments later, Orion spoke in a low voice.
"Lilith, are you suggesting that the Alpha-level flying beast driving the Lionbats was specifically sent by the southern lords?"
Lilith didn't respond with words, only smiled at Orion.
Orion had already voiced the thought himself, and it was almost certainly true.
"If that's the case, the second wave of Lionbats and the beast tide outside Moonshadow Valley make sense!"
"But aren't they worried about losing an Alpha-level beast in the north?"
Lilith stepped closer, wrapping her arms around Orion, her voice soft and teasing.
"My dear Orion, do you think a flying beast is that easy to kill?"
Her words were like a wake-up call.
Orion's eyes widened—he had forgotten the most basic fact.
The beast driving the tide was a flying creature. As long as it didn't fly too low, even if it encountered enemies in the air, it could easily change direction and escape.
