Chapter 183.

Goldrake was relentless as it galloped across the open plains. Anything in its path was trampled without concern as the drake violently charged headfirst.

It neither slept nor ate. Goldrake only looked forward as it continued to run. Its charge was desperate, as though it was its only calling in life.

Ugh! This crazy beast! How far are you going to go?

Pained screams could be heard from the riders chasing the drake.

After lazily sleeping day and night, Goldrake had suddenly broken down its stable and ran with reckless abandon. Clark and the other riders panicked at this sudden disturbance and immediately followed close behind. This had been four days ago.

Stop! I said stop!

Do you really think itll listen?

Jonasson ridiculed Hansen when the rider shouted out.

However, even as he did so, Jonasson desperately hoped Goldrake would stop. He was not the only one. The other riders were likewise weary and longed for an end to this chaos.

Why all of a sudden

The charge had been sudden, and naturally, the cavalry had been unprepared to travel such a long distance.

We have to decide now! We cant continue like this any further!

Clark, at the forefront of the charge, gritted his teeth at Jonassons comment.

The horses are tired, as are their riders.

They had taken a brief break in the middle, but it was insufficient. Even if they themselves endured, their horses would be unable to do the same.

That was not the only problem. Another issue was that Goldrake was headed towards the Noctein border of all places. From what they could tell, Goldrake showed no intention of stopping before the border.

Itll be war if were unlucky.

Noctein, of all places?

The Noctein Kingdom despised both Drachen and his favorite mounts.

There was no way such a kingdom would sit back and watch the drake trample across their border.

The absence of its rider would not be an excuse. If anything, the Nocteins would treat this riderless beast as easy prey and rush in.

It was even possible they would use the pretext of the invading monster as justification for another war.

Of course, this was unlikely given the significant damage dealt to the Nocteins in the previous war, but the riders needed to keep this possibility in mind.

We follow the drake as far as we can.

The situation had spiraled out of control, but despite all their concerns, they could not stop Goldrake.

Who could possibly stop that rampaging monster?

Even more importantly, they did not want to stop the drake.

Seeing the loyal Goldrake charge like this, it was clear that the beast was concerned about its masters safety.

Do you think something happened to the lord?

Dont say something so unlucky. Do you think hes someone whod be beaten so easily?

He even went on Redvern. Regardless of what happened, he should be able to get away.

Hansen and Jonasson barked out in anger when they heard the concerns of one of the riders.

Dont say something so useless. If youre so at ease, worry about our own situation.

When even Clark backed up the two veteran riders, the cavalry rider initiating the conversation shut up and nodded.

We follow the drake to the border. If were lucky, Julian will have prepared something by then.

Clark simply hoped that Julian, having overtaken the monster, would have come up with a solution.

However, even as they approached the border, there were no movements from the local garrisons.

Scout patrols occasionally showed themselves, but there was no further action. They followed the riders before quickly disappearing.
