Chapter 1577: Chapter 1577

"Lord Red Feather, have we figured out the camps of the Tukan air force? Are we ready to launch a counterattack?" Gaven inquired of a Laiserman Witch.

The City of Usmer may have no aerial forces, but that doesn’t mean Gaven doesn’t. However, they have been constantly on the receiving end and have no intention to strike back yet, not even using Gaven’s infamous techniques lightly, saving them for a significant blow against the Tukan Eagle Knights.

Many tactics can only be used once; once the enemy is alerted, the effect diminishes greatly.

The Laiserman Witch before him wasn’t the one he met at the Laiserman refugee camp, but a big figure from the Laiserman Kingdom, a member of the Witches’ Council, a legendary Laiserman Witch who called herself Red Feather. Alongside her were ten quasi-legendary Laiserman witches.

The Laiserman Kingdom showed great importance to the grain Gaven brought and revealed their formidable foundation, illustrating why they’ve been able to oppose Ser’s Red Robe Mages for years.

"The situation is more complicated than imagined. Those Tukan People not only sent a large number of Eagle Riders to harass in turns but also colluded with the local evil forces of the Great Valley. Their overnight spots are not defenseless, making it hard to launch a surprise attack."

Although the legendary Laiserman Witch’s expression wasn’t visible, her tone carried a noticeably heavy weight.

"Local evil forces of the Great Valley? Such exist?" Gaven asked in surprise.

In the few days he’s been in the Great Valley, he thought he had figured out most of the situation, never hearing of such an existence.

"Before that, let me introduce you to a friend. This is Hanso, Master of the Nighthawk Tower, and one of the Great Druids of the Lys Sect."

The Red Feather Witch did not answer Gaven’s question directly but pointed to a hawk that descended from the sky.

With a gentle magic aura, the hawk’s form twisted, transforming into a lean human male, his body covered with extensive tattoos, all related to nature, especially birds.

His outfit appeared to be woven from various feathers, almost luxurious, exuding a unique wildness.

"Great to finally meet." Gaven bowed in greeting.

It wasn’t just a courteous phrase; he had indeed heard of the other’s name.

The Lys Sect is the name of a large Druid Circle, an important part of the Great Valley Druid governance.

The Great Valley governance is a general term; like most Druids, their structure isn’t very clear-cut, with most acting independently, tending to their forests and villages in their own ways.

Those sharing similar beliefs form Druid Circles; two Circles here are notably famous and hold a very high status.

The Lys Sect is one of them, their duty lies in protecting the Laisel Forest, with their main activities centered around this ancient forest.

Most members of this sect remain secretive, as they live in the Laisel Forest year-round, seldom appearing before the world, their humanity even unknown.

Hanso and his Nighthawk Tower are the only ones who publicize their identities and have a fixed living location, making him one of the most tolerant Druids in the Great Valley.

Not only does he aid the kind-hearted Great Valley people, but he also extends a hand of aid to the birds and beasts that seek his help. For more chapters visıt 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖·𝙣𝙚𝙩

The giant oak tree he lives in is called the Nighthawk Tower because not only does he like to transform into a night hawk to patrol the forest, but a large number of night hawks also make it their home, dwelling alongside this Great Druid.

"I’ve long heard of the Guide of the Forest Lady, always wanted to find time to visit, listen to your guidance and teachings, never expected to meet in the Great Valley." Hanso greeted Gaven with extraordinary warmth and friendliness.

Being a Druid of the Natural God Sylvanus, he naturally felt good about devotees of the Forest Lady.

Melikai and the Father of Oak are parent and child, a subordinate relationship.

"Unworthy of guidance and teachings." Gaven replied humbly, "If there’s a chance, we could exchange experiences in protecting nature, jointly seeking a path for harmonious development between intelligent life and nature, guiding more people to join this cause."

He’s incredibly experienced in dealing with these naturalists, knowing what sparks their interest.

As expected, even before he finished speaking, Hanso eagerly said, "That’s indeed a viable path, after all, the rise of intelligent life is unstoppable..."

"Gentlemen, have your topics wandered off?" the Red Feather Witch mercilessly interrupted Hanso, "To plan for the future, we must first ensure the forest has a future."

"Apologies, indeed the immediate matters are more pressing." Hanso apologized, "A huge army of demon trees and withering ones is ravaging and expanding in Laisel Forest, heading straight towards the City of Usmer."

The Tukan Eagle Knights rest within this dark army, and those monsters emanate a strong aura of slaughter, akin to the God of Murder Bar, clearly allied with the Tukan people, acting as the Tukan vanguard, clearing obstacles for them."

"Dark Power within the forest." Gaven furrowed his brows unconsciously, these Tukan people sure don’t follow the usual path, "How far are they from the City of Usmer?"
