In front of the Cloud Sea Giant Whale, one hundred and fourteen Hill Giants stood in a square formation, led by Gordo.
Raylo had changed into practical black attire, a Knight's Longsword hanging from his waist.
He strode out of the Lord's Mansion.
His gaze finally fell upon the back of the Cloud Sea Giant Whale.
Moonlight, along with Lightning and Coal Ball, were frolicking on the Cloud Sea Giant Whale's broad back.
'Those little ones were certainly carefree.'
Raylo was just about to give the order to depart.
THUD... THUD... THUD...
The sound of heavy, rhythmic footsteps echoed from the city's main thoroughfare, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Raylo looked up in the direction of the sound.
A black dot on the horizon rapidly grew larger.
It was a Storm Griffin.
A figure stood tall against the wind on the Griffin's back.
It was Alex.
Meanwhile, below the Storm Griffin, a convoy emerged from the end of the street, moving slowly through the morning light and dew.
