Justin saw the rows of notifications and clicked his tongue as he increased his pace. On the western part of the camp, a deep dark tunnel was located as the sound of footsteps and whispers echoed from it.

Whoosh!

A silhouette rushed into the tunnel, leaving a gust of wind behind. A couple of meters inside the tunnel, Sergio supports a group of men from falling under the extreme cold.

"What's going on?" Justin's voice came from behind.

Immediately, everyone turned back and saw Justin walking in a large stride toward them. Quickly, they gave a slight bow.

"Your highness, the cold has sipped deep into our body system," Sergio replied.

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed from the outside as the tunnel shook vehemently, debris fell from the tunnel, and cracks appeared on the walls.

Seeing this, Justin creases his brow as he spreads his perception outside the tunnel. With a bit of difficulty, he saw the destruction of the camps as dozens of Frost Giants were slamming their palms into the building.

"We can't stay here. Let's move forward a bit and everyone can rest." Justin said after giving it a thought.

"Thank you, your Highness," they chorus.

The looks on their faces were different from before. It contains gratitude and worship. Now, everyone has seen his prowess and his intention toward them. Any traces of doubt in their mind had been long gone.

"Grandpa Philip, you and Sergio defend the back and if anything happens don't hesitate to let me know."

"Alright!" They nodded as they watched Justin rushing toward the front.

The tunnel continued to tremble continuously but Justin's loud voice echoed in the ear of the people.

"Relax everyone, nothing will happen to us here."

Immediately, they breathe a sigh of relief when they know it was the voice of the king. Besides, when they saw him walking past them. A bright smile appeared on their faces.

What could possibly go wrong with the king around?

"The king is so young"

"The king looked at me. Do you see that?"

Various murmurs echoed every time Justin passed a group of young ladies. For most of them, it was their first time seeing him up close.

Justin arrived in front of the group and went directly to a cart where a young man lay unconscious, covered in bondages. Beside the young man was another cart, with a person in bondage. Both were Nika and Kira.

"How are they?" Justin asked his gaze fixed on Chloe.

"They respond to treatment," Chloe said slowly.

When she saw Kira's ghastly injury she panicked and feared whether they may survive the attack from the giants but when she saw Nika's deadly and scary injuries. She almost passed out.

Vera, the lead medic group, was almost frightened to death. It took them a couple of seconds before they started the treatment. If it was ordinary humans, they would have long been dead but both of them were of second circle existence and their speed of recovery was quick.

'Stay in there and hang on.' Justin said to Kira through their soul-link. Though he didn't know whether she could hear him or not. But he was lost on what to do.

'You've given me hope in this wretched world and I can't fight this battle alone. So get well soon and come to my side.' He added with a sigh.

Suddenly, a light smile appeared on her face. Her eyes twitched and trembled slightly. Seeing this, the corner of Justin's lip curled up in a smile.

He looked at Nika for a moment before he exhaled slowly. The Frost Giant's powerful palm attack scared the shit out of him when it hit Nika. Though he decided to be the king of the people. His connection with the four people that started with him from the beginning was stronger than anyone else except maybe Kira.

He looked at the unconscious duo for the last time before he went to stand beside Susan in front of the group.

'Thank you.' He said.

'Don't mention. I know you would do the same for me.' Susan replied without looking at him.

Susan's face didn't have any change in expression but her heart wouldn't stop beating when she saw Justin beside her. The past couple of minutes had been hell on earth. It was like something was cutting a major part of her soul.

But now, that pain disappears into the thin air and her heart becomes calm and peaceful. An unspeakable joy came from the depth of her soul and she couldn't understand where the joy came from and why.

The duo was quiet as they led the group into the distance. The movement of hundreds of people was too slow and they barely covered one-third of their destination. Nevertheless, the deadly cold was reduced to a couple of degrees, making them sigh in relief.

"Call Pipe man," Justin commands the guard beside him.

At once, the guards rushed deep into the tunnel with a flashlight. After a couple of minutes, the guards with the Pipe man, and two other people returned.

"How is the area ahead?" Justin asked.

"Clear for the moment. But a couple of meters ahead we will have to walk through the water. Before we head north. " Pipe man said.

"That shouldn't be a problem," Justin said and looked at the rows of endless heads behind him.

"Pass my order. We're camping here for the time being." He added.

Immediately, the guards began to pass the order. The tired group exhaled a sigh of relief. They had been traveling for hours but because of their large population, the distance covered was small.

Campfires were quickly set as groups of people sat around the fire. Though they were undergone, the deadly cold still got through but a tad reduced.

After a couple of minutes, the loud sound of laughter and shouting echoed in the tunnel. As humans, they wouldn't miss the chance to enjoy the privilege of being alive.

At a separate part of the tunnel, a group of people stood as they talked with grim expressions.

"Chloe, have you got the radio working?" Justin asked.

"Yes, everything is working perfectly well," Chloe replied with a smile.

"Good. Those at the back would get one while the middle and the scouting party would receive another one. Give Susan and a guard another one" Justine commanded.

"Alright!" She nodded.

"Have you all thought of any alternative?" He asked, looking at the faces of the people.

The group shook their heads as none of them could think of a solution to their dire situation.

"Have you all realized we haven't met any beast since we are inside the tunnel?" Merab asked.

Hmm!

"I realized that but there's nothing we can do about it. At this juncture, whatever happens, we will deal with it as it happens." Susan said seriously.

"That's right. This plan isn't without its risks. But staying in the opening would expose us to the enemies and cold." Justin said.

Everyone let out a sigh of cold turbid air. They realized they are walking on a ticking bomb. At any moment it will explode.

"During this time, if your team discovered any anomalies. Don't hesitate to report it."

"Chloe, do we have any cold weapons left?" Justin turned to her.

"Yes."

"Give it to the scout team. We can't afford to use those rifles during this time."

"Besides, we're moving too slowly. We need to increase our pace." Justin said.

"We can assign a lot of people to the carts and some people would support the injured once for better movement," Nasir said.

"Better still, we should rotate these people. We need to leave this tunnel. This tunnel has started to creep me out. " Pipe man said nervously.

"We will do as you suggest. Pass the order immediately and don't get to give them the radio. Let's move."

"Park your things, we're moving." The guards shouted as they moved among the people.

After a couple of minutes, the group began their voyage in the tunnel. Pipe man and his team rushed forward to scout ahead.

'Do you hear it?' Susan asked without her expression changing.

'Yes. Whatever that is looked at us as been scouting for the past half an hour.' Justin replied calmly.

'Really!' She widened her eyes a bit.

Seeing her expression, Justin chuckled. Since he commanded the camp to relax was when he discovered they were not alone in the tunnel. He thought they would attack them but he guessed wrong.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, those things in the darkness didn't attack. Then, he chooses to proceed according to plan but strengthens their defense.

'Do you know what they are?' She asked.

'I don't. The tunnel wall is blocking my perception. '

'But whatever they are, they are many. So, if they attack us. We must not stop but defend while moving from their domain.'

Susan nodded and gave him a cursory glance. Justin picked up his radio and said in a low voice.

"We are being watched. Prepare to defend and don't stop when it begins."
