Chapter 431: "King of the Jungle" Ares
There are more than 30 islands in the Angome archipelago, the largest of which is the Emerald Isle, while the island of Hart is only the second. However, since Henry chose to establish the first city on Hart Island first, it was relatively prosperous and densely populated.
But for an island of 21,000 square kilometers, more than 100,000 people can't even make a splash if they throw it in. In addition to the extensive development of the area around the city of Bluvent, large areas of dense forest are still maintained. It is a paradise for wild animals, bears, tigers, elephants, wolves, badgers, squirrels, and all kinds of birds, which inhabit and breed here, and have not been affected by human civilization in the slightest.
Deep in the jungle, a giant bear more than twelve meters long is lying on a dry rock basking in the sun, its brown fur emitting a golden glow in the sunlight. It had been sleeping for a while now, digesting the benefits of Henry Druid's rapid career ascension.

It can be said that this guy is a veritable battlefield bulldozer, and once he launches a charge, even the legendary warrior must temporarily avoid the edge, otherwise he will be knocked out. However, since Henry hadn't summoned his animal companions for battle in years, it looked lazy now. It's also a bit silly, like a giant stuffed animal.
Suddenly, the big mountain of Roshan moved slightly, followed by all the birds that landed around it and flew into the air, and after a while, Ares slowly stood up and let out a low cry: "Roar--" as if calling for something, as if echoing something.
Mike, who was shuttling through the woods, showed a hint of joy on his face when he heard this, and hurriedly said to his companions beside him, "Found it, Ares has answered our call, and it should be not far ahead." β
"Great. With the mentor's animal companions, these sea robbers are doomed. It was a girl with short red hair, who was one of Henry's druid apprentices. Amanda.
As the two spoke, the ground began to tremble, and after a few seconds, Ares appeared in front of everyone on a rampage. It shook the dirt on its body majestically, staring at the human beings in front of it with two eyes condescendingly, and the momentum of the king of all beasts was vividly reflected.
Although Mike has become a fifteenth-level great druid, he still feels a little nervous in the face of such a behemoth, if he doesn't know that the legendary giant bear in front of him will definitely not attack him, maybe he will turn around and run away. He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, forced himself to take two steps forward, and used the special ability of "understanding animals".
"Ares, we need your help. A group of robbers came from the sea and wanted to attack this place. β
The giant bear understood the meaning of the transmission, and immediately asked with his mind, "Who is it?" How many of them are there? β
"A group of intelligent beings living in the sea are called Sawa Fish People. They are very numerous, like berries in a bush. Mike knew that you couldn't use specific numbers for animals, because they couldn't understand them without education, so he just made a visual analogy.
Ares shook his huge head and asked, "Is this creature big?" Do they have sharp teeth, sharp claws? β
"It's not big, it's just taller than us humans, and it doesn't have claws, but the teeth are quite sharp. They use a variety of weapons, such as spears and forks. Mike patiently explained. While he doesn't think the fishmen's weapons can do any damage to the legendary brown bear, it's always a good idea to be careful.
"Understood, I'll start gathering the predators in this forest right away, and now I'll tell you where the battlefield is."
Hearing the bear's promise, Mike clenched his fist excitedly and hurriedly pointed in the direction of Brunvent City. "Right in the port area of the city, according to the prediction of the Mage Tower, the enemy will attack in the evening or at night."
"Got it, I'll be there before the sun goes down." Ignoring the others, Ares turned around and ran deeper into the woods. It roared and roared, and in a moment all the animals in the forest screamed. Among them were wolves, tigers, leopards, elephants, etc., one after another, and spread rapidly.
Amanda had a shocked look on her face and said in a trembling voice, "This...... This...... It's almost like a king...... It's incredible. β
"Yes, it's really worthy of being the mentor's animal companion, let's go, now that the mission is complete, we should go back too."
With that, Mike's body began to deform violently, and a few minutes later a huge eagle appeared in its place. Amanda sat down unceremoniously, and the giant eagle flapped its wings and began to slowly rise into the air, then flew straight in the direction of the city.
At the same time, the city of Bluvent also began intensive preparations. The inhabitants of the port area were all temporarily relocated to the inside of the city walls, a large number of soldiers were mobilized to start arranging, crossbows were placed on the commanding heights, and several airships that had no mission for the time being were also urgently requisitioned into the air, and the Pterodactyls used this as a platform to condescendingly monitor the movements around the island.
Vaughn, a half-orc warrior, stood on the rampart and looked at the sea in the distance, an expectant expression on his face. After a few minutes, he clapped his greatsword "Giant Slayer" and muttered, "Don't worry, old friend...... Hold your horses...... Soon we'll be able to kill it. β
"Ha, I really didn't expect you to talk to a thoughtless sword."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind, and Vaughn looked back to see that it was Debra. He was a little surprised and asked, "Is the sun coming out of the west today?" You were willing to come out of the Mage's Tower? β
"No way, who let these damn fishmen have so many of them. By the way, these are magic potions that Borken asked me to send, and you can distribute them to the soldiers in a moment. With that, Debra removed two large boxes from the dimensional bag. After all these years, she is now thirty-two years old, and she has just been promoted, becoming a fourteenth-level protective mage, and she exudes the charm of a mature woman all over her body.
Vaughn waved at one of the officers next to him and ordered, "Go, send these things to everyone." Also, let the guys in charge of the armory move quickly, they still have at least half of their arrows in place. β
"Haha, I didn't expect that after so many years, you are really decent to be a commander now." Debra glanced at the serious orc warrior and laughed. She remembered clearly that the other party had difficulty even commanding twenty people back then.
Vaughn reluctantly loosened his shoulders. "No way, since Hawk and Corey are gone, these bad things have fallen on me. To be honest, I prefer to be a pure warrior and stand at the forefront to fight the enemy. β
Debra brushed her hair that was blown away by the sea breeze and said with a laugh, "Don't worry, your wish will come true soon." 20,000 fishmen, once they launch a full-line attack, even with mage towers and air support, they will inevitably have to fight hand-to-hand. When the time comes, you have to be careful and don't rush too far ahead, otherwise it is easy to get injured by mistake. β
"Hehe, I have the ability to regenerate and dragon skin armor, and I'm not afraid of accidental injury at all. By the way, what about Amy? Since even you are alarmed, there is no reason for her to stay in the mage tower and do research. β
Looking at Vaughn's looking around, Deb shook his head slightly. "Don't look for it, she's going to sit with Dai Lina in the Thieves' Guild. After all, it is Robert's sister, and it is more convenient to command in some kind of Cheng dΓΉ. β
"Well, it looks like all the people in the territory have been mobilized." As he spoke, Vaughn gestured to a group of people in full-body armor not far away. "Look, that's the Bishop of the God of Guardians who came and brought a bunch of Templars and priests, and the Goddess of Sprouts has also sent a lot of potions and magic scrolls. It seems that it was the right decision to allow them to preach here, but by the way, did you inform him of what was going on here? β
Debra shook her head slightly. "Not yet, and Borken doesn't think it's necessary as long as the enemy hasn't attacked. But I think it's going to happen sooner or later, because these guys don't want to look like they're playing. (To be continued......)
