Chapter 714
“Captain Auron, you’re a stage-six contender as well as the strongest contender here . Take Kevin and leave . He’s our only hope . You must teach him well…”
Mia waved her hand . Captain Auron gritted his teeth and ignored Kevin’s struggles when he picked Kevin up with one hand . He bowed to Mia respectfully and turned away immediately, escaping with Kevin alone .
Without Auron, who was their only stage-six contender, the troops would find it even harder to defeat the ferocious beasts . Nonetheless, some kind of preparations must still be made .
“All knights, form ranks . Arms at the ready . Pledge your life!”
“Pledge our lives!”
There was not a trace of fear in the eyes of these knights . They were all elite knights who had fought barbarians and fierce beasts many times . They would not take a single step back for their honor as knights .
Rumble…
The ground began to shake and a cloud of dust rose from the distant horizon, blocking out the sun . It was enough to show just how terrifying the stampede was .
Mia closed her eyes gently . Her luck had run out at this point .
“I hope Kevin lives on…”
Perhaps that would be Mia’s final thought .
“Spears at the ready!”
Mia has despaired . However, as brave knights of the Mandela family, as warriors who climbed out of the corpses of barbarians, they would never just sit and wait for death .
Hundreds of the knights raised their long spears . Their spears seemed to be made of a special kind of metal and were extremely heavy, but in the hands of these knights, it was nothing at all .
The tip of the long spears glinted coldly in the light, silently waiting for the first bloody contact with the herd .
Hoo…
All of a sudden, a gust of wind surged through the area, and the beasts seemed to grow even more frantic as if there was something terrible chasing them . These beasts who were supposed to be mercilessly vicious only looked fearful right now .
“There’s something off about these fierce beasts . ”
That thought flashed in everyone’s hearts, but they did not linger on it . No matter the reason, they would not be able to survive the first wave of beasts . These beasts would tear them up completely .
“They’re coming!”
They could already envision the pungent and bloody scene…
Merlin was sitting on the huge raptor in the sky . Under them were a group of fierce beasts, charging forward and running away desperately .
Moreover, the further the raptor pushed, the more beasts joined the fleeing army . Therefore, Merlin had inadvertently created a stampede of beasts when he made the raptor fly onwards .
Like the creatures living in the water, they were extremely afraid of birds of prey and could not endure even just a little whiff of their life force .
“How interesting . This savage raptor seems to have a very high position . No other fierce beasts dare to challenge its status . ”
Merlin laughed and said to the savage raptor, “Is your position very high? These fierce beasts are all scared of you . ”
The savage raptor let of a cry of grievance . It looked at the horde of beasts below and felt wronged . Its status was not just ‘high . ’ It was basically the overlord of this forest . No beasts dared to approach anywhere within a hundred miles from it .
Those beasts were unable to withstand the slightest bit of its life force, but the raptor could not speak and naturally could not tell Merlin about its ‘noble identity . ’

In reality, Merlin had already guessed that the raptor had a very high status when he saw how much panic it had caused among the fierce beasts . How could a creature comparable to a Great Legend not have a noble status?
Even in the Spell Caster civilization, Great Legends were people admired by countless others . They could occupy a dimension single-handedly and spread the knowledge of Spell Casters .
“Hm? There seem to be people up ahead . Is it a civilization or tribe of this world?”
Merlin’s huge Mind Power was constantly spreading all over the surrounding area, so he had easily discovered that there was a ‘tribe’ similar to him in front .
It might be the dominant civilization of the Mobata world .
However, those people did not seem to be in a good situation . They were unable to resist the tide of beasts at all . Merlin finally found a tribe in the Mobata world after much difficulty, so he naturally would not allow the wave of beasts to destroy them .
“Hurry . That stampede was caused by you . We can’t let those people be harmed!”
The savage raptor flapped its wings ‘indignantly’ and doubled its speed .
Whoosh!
The raptor was like a gust of wind . The howling wind resounded through the sky . All the beasts and the people heard it .
“What’s that?”
The hundreds of knights who were prepared to fight to the death with the beasts suddenly looked up and saw a gust of wind in the distance sweeping towards them at a terrifying speed . The beasts charging their way seemed to become even more frenzied . Their expressions revealed a sense of unparalleled fear .
Mia’s mouth fell open . Since she was too far away, she could not see what was hidden in the wind .
Soon though, the squall approached near enough for them to see what was hidden behind it . They could see now that it was a huge and terrifying beast covered in hideous warts .

“This beast is unusual . It’s as if all the other beasts are afraid of it! Such an oppressive force too! Not even the Earl or the barbarian leader who attacked the city had such a powerful and oppressive force . ”
“A hideous beast covered in warts, has a pair of wings, and all other beasts are afraid of it… Could this be the king-level beast of the Lobase mountains?”
Everyone could not help but let out a gasp when they heard the words spoken by one of the most experienced knights .
A king-level beast . It would be the most supreme existence among all beasts and the overlord of a forest .
Beasts were divided into ordinary and master-level ones . A master-level beast was at least stage-seven and above, and most of the king-level beasts only existed in legends . Many people may not have the chance to see one their entire life .
King-level beasts of the Mobata world were comparable to the great Sanctuary Contenders . Although Sanctuary Contenders might be slightly stronger for a variety of reasons, they definitely belonged to the same level of existence .
If a king-level beast led the beasts from a whole forest and caused a stampede, no matter how strong the city walls were, it would be useless . Perhaps no other city would be able to withstand it except for Ruba City .
“Oh, heavens . There’s always been a rumor about a king-level beast in the Lobase mountains, but it has never been seen for hundreds of years . Could that rumor actually be true? This terrifying stampede was caused by that king-level beast?”
Mia was shocked to the point of no return . She no longer paid attention to the safety of the family . A stampede of beasts led by a king-level beast was enough to destroy most cities .
The entire Mobata world would suffer heavy losses . These beasts were far more terrifying than the barbarians, and all of this was even caused by a king-level beast .
Everyone seemed to believe that the end of the Mobata world was coming . The Mobatans who were barely surviving under the attacks from the beasts and barbarians seemed to have forgotten the glory they once had from ruling over the entire world .
Mobatans today belonged to the weak side of the world . Whether it was barbarians or fierce beasts, their overall strength was far stronger than the Mobatans .
Just one wave of these beasts was enough to cause severe damage to the Mobata World . If they were to attack eight to ten times, the Mobatans might be facing grave destruction then .
The hideous raptor in the sky did not swallow the entourage whole but hovered above them in the sky instead . Then, the terrifying king-level beast turned around, opened its enormous mouth, and roared at the herd .

Boom!
The shrill roar seemed to shake the earth, and the endless tide of beasts suddenly halted in their steps . These fierce beasts prostrated on the ground, trembling and expressing their allegiance to the king-level beast in the sky .
Fierce beasts paid more attention to the difference in their statues . It was impossible for lower rank beasts to challenge high stage beasts . King-level beasts were the kings of the entire forest . No fierce beast would feel unafraid before it .
Seeing the tide of beasts had stopped, the raptor in the sky flapped its wings a few times . Immediately, those beasts stood up again, turned around, and ran back to the forest .
The terrifying stampede had disappeared in an instant .
On the deserted gravel road, the entourage with about ten carriages was unusually silent . There was no sound except for the neighing of the horses . They all looked at the large beast in the sky in horror .
Crash!
The king-level beast that just drove away the tide of beasts landed on the ground in front of the crowd . It slowly retracted its huge wings and stared straight at them with evil eyes . Its huge life force made the atmosphere unusually somber .
Mia’s heart was also a mess . She had no idea how to deal with this situation that had already exceeded her understanding . No one would be able to stay calm in the face of a king-level beast comparable to a Sanctuary Contender .
“It seems that you’re all uninjured, but you don’t seem to be very welcoming to your rescuer . ”
A cold and unfamiliar voice sounded in their minds out of nowhere .
The crowd widened their eyes and stared at the ugly king-level beast in front of them . Was the raptor talking? It was too unimaginable . After all, there were no records of king-level beasts speaking even in the oldest books .
“No, there’s someone on the king-level beast . Heavens, is it a great Sanctuary Contender who had tamed the king-level beast?”
Right then, someone finally saw that there was a small figure standing on the savage raptor’s back . Only those who had tamed a king-level beast would be able to do that .
Such a person was, without exception, a great Sanctuary Contender!
All at once, everyone had their eyes fixed on the small figure on the raptor’s back .
