Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams)

Chapter 2772 Legend Of The Minotaur

D*mn it. What is that thing? How can it be so powerful?

Nameless uttered in an undertone, "Great Marshal, does that mean that thing is stronger than you?"

Zeke nodded. "Yes."

Gasp!

The others inhaled sharply.

Ares said, "Even if we could fight against the beast, we won't be able to protect the commoners simultaneously. In that case, more than half of the civilians will become casualties."

He was already being positive when he made that speculation.

The fallout of their attacks might even annihilate all ordinary people there.

Zeke took a deep breath before responding, "Don't worry. Someone will help us deal with the primordial beast."

Who? They gazed at Zeke curiously. Do we have any other allies here on Theos Island?

Zeke looked in Camp South's direction.

Camp South? Sole Wolf and the others were puzzled. Is Great Marshal planning to ask Camp South Master's help? What a joke. Camp South Master devised this scheme in the first place. He yearns to kill all of us, so why would he assist us? Great Marshal is out of his senses!

A group of children was being protected in the middle as the adults surrounded them, and the person tasked to watch over them was Phoenix.

Phoenix had heeded Zeke's order and established a school. She also personally took charge and held the position of the school's principal.

The children had yet to mature intellectually, and their psychological endurance was poor. They were traumatized by the loud call earlier, and many of them couldn't stop crying due to fear.

Phoenix had no choice but to assign her subordinates to console the children and try their best to help the kids forget about the disturbing experience.

One of the teachers asked Phoenix gingerly, "Ms. Phoenix, what do you think of the moo just now?"

Phoenix responded calmly, "It's nothing to be worried about. It's probably just the roar of a more ferocious bull."

The teacher lowered her voice. "Ms. Phoenix, I don't think that's possible. A moo shouldn't be able to affect our minds, no matter how blaring it may be. I suspect..."

She stopped talking abruptly at that point.

Phoenix probed further, "Just say whatever's on your mind. There's no need to catch yourself."

Subsequently, the teacher spoke in a voice no louder than a whisper. "Ms. Phoenix, do you think it is possibly the reappearance of the Minotaur?"

The Minotaur! Phoenix gasped. "I-Isn't that just a legend on Theos Island? How can it be real?”

"There's always a factual basis for all myths. The rumors about the Minotaur wouldn't have originated out of nowhere, so there must be a corresponding thing or incident that prompted this legend's inception."

Phoenix mulled over the words without answering.

The teacher added, "Ms. Phoenix, this is a significant matter which may affect the safety of these children and many citizens' lives, so we cannot be negligent and miss out on any detail. Therefore, I think you should relay the legend about the Minotaur to Mr. Williams. If this happens to be real, Mr. Williams will also be mentally prepared for what's to come. Perhaps the information can save dozens of lives."

Phoenix contemplated briefly before ultimately nodding. "Okay. All right. I'll inform Commander Williams about this. Perhaps this information will be useful to him."

After that, Phoenix met with Zeke.

At that moment, he was giving orders to the builders to work overtime to construct walls.

The beasts would certainly attack them again. Hence, building walls could better safeguard the citizens' lives.

When Zeke saw Phoenix, he quickly asked, "Phoenix, how are the kids? Did any of them get hurt?"

She replied, "It's no big deal. They were just a little frightened. The teachers are comforting them."

He bobbed his head. "I'm glad to hear that."

"Zeke, I have some clues to share with you regarding the moo earlier."

Oh? Zeke's interest was piqued. "You know about the primordial beast?"

He assumed the primordial beast had produced the terrifying call earlier, so by extension, he thought Phoenix was about to inform him of details about the primordial beast.
