Chapter 691
’Yes… How many are there?’ Jinbe asked.

Raztol replied, ’Wingreig and I will take one as well. Hindrad and Artrat will work with the remaining elders to ward off the final two. They’ll be here soon, so there’s no time to waste.’

’MY FELLOW HYDRAS!!!’ Raztol’s telepathic shouts passed over the reef and somewhat calmed the rising tension of the hydras below. ’Hurry to Glacier Keep and the tunnels below. That’s the only way to remain safe!’

The panic wasn’t gone but it had become somewhat orderly as hundreds of hydras rushed into the tunnels of Glacier Reef to hide. Those at the reef’s center hurried toward Glacier Keep, the safest of all places.

Turning to the elders, Raztol commented, ’Any who are too afraid to face deities such a Lunara, retreat now and guard the tunnels. This is your only chance.’

It took a moment but the first two elders to concede swam off toward the keep’s entrance, standing guard. More followed and took guarding positions along the many tunnels.

’Then allow me to guard the keep!’ Hindered shouted as he and some of his followers rushed off. They roared and forced the hydras in the way to clear a path as Hindrad charged toward Glacier Keep’s entrance.
