Chapter 833: Three ways to save you, which one do you want?
Chapter 833: Three ways to save you, which one do you want?
Robb spoke up using the bard's skill "Melody of the Heavens." His voice was loud and pleasant, as if he were singing a poem.
The over 500 people of Norma could all hear him clearly.
Everyone was slightly taken aback but continued to stride forward, no one wanting to stop and engage with Robb.
In fact, they didn't even recognize Robb or know who he was.
In this era, information spread slowly, and not everyone recognized world-famous figures like in later times.
Perhaps many had heard of the Godfather of Westwind City's exploits against the Black Dragon, but no one knew what the Godfather actually looked like.
In the poems of poets, Robb was usually depicted as a tall and stalwart ancient-style hero, with some describing a scar on his face left by the black dragon's claw, while others claimed he was nine feet tall, exuding a fierce aura, or that he wore heavy armor and wielded a giant sword...
In short, the poets were all making things up, leaving no one with a clear idea of his appearance.
Imagine yourself being chased by giants, and halfway there, a young man with blond hair says to you, "I can help you, as long as you can afford it." Would you stop?
Certainly not!
The over 500 people split apart on either side of Robb's group, flowing like water split by a stone.
Robb: "..."
But at that moment, the titan giants were already closing in. Several of the fastest charging Titan Giants suddenly exerted force and leaped high into the air, soaring over the heads of Robb's group. They helped shield Robb from the rain for at least half a second, flying several hundred meters away before landing on the other side of Robb, creating a barrier in front of the people of Norma.
Following closely, the remaining Titan Giants caught up and formed a pincer attack on the people of Norma.
The people of Norma shouted in surprise and no longer dared to run around. They huddled together, inadvertently trapping Robb's group in the middle, with another circle of giants surrounding them from the outside...
The giants did not immediately attack but stared angrily at the group of humans in the center.
The Mayan people: "..."
Robb: "Wow!"
The leader among the people of Norma, a knight, quickly approached Robb's side. Only now did he have the opportunity to carefully observe Robb. He was a young man in his early twenties, and there was actually a bubble surrounding him, completely blocking the pouring rain and making him appear quite composed.
At a glance, he looked like the leader of this group!
The knight nodded respectfully to Robb and quickly said, "Gran... cough... people!"
Robb asked, "Were you just about to say 'Gran dogs'?"
"No, no, I wasnt
"Then why was there a subtle pause in the middle?"
"Well... um..." The knight became awkwardly flustered. "Focus on the main point. Is now the time to discuss this? Gran people, although I don't know why you and the Mayan people appeared here together, the situation is clear now. We are all surrounded by Titan Giants. These Titan Giants won't care whether you're on our side or with the Mayans. They will kill you all. If you don't want to die, join forces with us. We need to unite all our strength to break through this encirclement of Titan Giants and survive."
Robb chuckled, "No, no, I can easily escape from this siege without joining forces with you. Didn't you hear me asking you earlier? As long as you can afford the price, I can save you."
The knight: "?"
Robb ignored the puzzled expression on the knight's face and continued with a smile, "Depending on the price you offer, there are three ways I can help. The first is a careless rescue, where I might save you but expect about half of you to die. The second is a slightly more serious rescue, where you should be able to escape with about half of your people, but there will be some casualties due to my delayed assistance against the giants. The third is a more serious intervention on my part, approaching it from a humanitarian standpoint. In that case, all of you will survive, but the price I ask will be higher."
Amidst Robb's jumbled words, the knight couldn't find the patience to listen to such a long explanation. His head was already pounding, and he exclaimed in exasperation, "Are you crazy? Why are you still babbling at a time like this? Can't you take some responsibility for your own life?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the giants finally began to attack. The largest giant in the center suddenly opened its mouth, and with a snap, shot a bolt of lightning that possessed a terrifying magical power. It was comparable to Thors Roar of the Desert Kingdom. And this was just a casual discharge from the giant.
The lightning struck directly at the knight!
The knight was startled and leaped to the side, but as a result, the lightning was redirected toward Robb.
The knight thought to himself, [Oh no, if the leader of Gran gets struck and killed, it will be even more difficult to get their help. Oh dear, this is troublesome!]
He quickly looked at Robb, hoping to see if he had managed to escape from the lightning.
However, to his surprise, the knight saw Robb standing there without even flinching. The lightning bolt "snapped" and struck the water bubble that Robb had been using to shield himself from the rain.
Water conducts electricity, and in an instant, the entire water bubble was filled with electric light, shimmering and glowing. Countless thunderbolts crackled and sizzled on the surface of the water bubble, surrounding Robb with a radiant glow. However, not a single bit of lightning managed to penetrate inside the water bubble.
The knight stared in astonishment. "What kind of water bubble magic is this?"
Robb chuckled and said, "Just your ordinary water bubble magic, used for sheltering from rain. Let me ask you again, do you want my help? Three ways to be saved, think it through."
The knight was dumbfounded...
Just then, the Titan Giant that had discharged the lightning charged towards them, swinging its colossal palm and slapping down towards Robb.
Its enormous hand covered an area of several meters in radius, engulfing Robb along with those around him, including Elsie, Kante, Suofa, the Westwind warriors, and the Mayan people. If the slap landed, this entire group of people would be killed.
The knight was startled and hurriedly tried to roll out of the range covered by the giant's hand.
The Mayan eagle warriors were also in a state of panic, trying to escape.
But at that moment, Robb raised his hand and lifted it upwards...
"Boom!"
With a loud crash, Robb's hand actually managed to hold back the Titan Giant's hand. Then, he grabbed one of the giant's fingers and executed a wrestling-like move, sidestepping and performing a shoulder throw. He exerted force with both hands and flung the towering Titan Giant away, sending it flying a great distance until it crashed down with a thunderous "boom," toppling a mountain.
Robb clapped his hands. "Don't disturb me while I'm conducting business!"
