Chapter 1605: Chapter 1074: The Frontline Crisis_2
Captain ld, who had regained his composure, hurriedly spoke, but Duanmu Huai seed unconcerned about such minor matters.
“I know, so I’m not planning to act together with you. I’ll head there first to check out the situation, and if I can eliminate them, I’ll do so directly — Now tell , where is that place? Do you have a map?”
“This……”
Faced with Duanmu Huai’s words, Captain ld was montarily stunned but quickly ordered soone to fetch a map, then reached out to point at it for Duanmu Huai.
“It’s right here. Heading east from the Royal City, even with galloping horses, it would take three days and nights to reach……”
“It’s unnecessary to be so troubleso.”
Duanmu Huai took the map, examined it carefully, and then unceremoniously put it away. The next mont, a massive, dark, terrifying suit of armor suddenly appeared on him, startling Captain ld. But Duanmu Huai didn’t say much more, just gestured to Tower City Kitten and Naruse Mio.
“You two, get on.”
“Eh? Are we really going up……?”
Watching Duanmu Huai don his battle armor, Naruse Mio’s face turned pale. But Duanmu Huai couldn’t be bothered with her nonsense, he simply stretched out his hands, grabbed each of them, and lifted them up. Then, in the next mont, the jet backpack behind him unfolded, and Duanmu Huai looked back at Captain ld.
“Well then, we’re going ahead.”
“Wait, wait a minute, uncle, I’m not ntally prepared yet…!”
“Don’t speak, or you’ll bite your tongue!”
With his words barely finished, there was a loud roaring jet sound, and the next mont, Duanmu Huai took off from the ground, soaring into the sky, disappearing in an instant.
“…………”
Captain ld and his subordinates stood there, mouths agape, staring at the sky dumbfounded, as if they were a bunch of idiots.
It wasn’t until Lady Mary approached and gently coughed that Captain ld and the others snapped back to reality.
“Lady Mary? That was…… Brave Lord, he……”
“As you saw, Captain ld, Mr. Duanmu possesses a mode of transportation far beyond your imagination. I suggest you all prepare quickly, as Mr. Duanmu is not known for his patience. Besides, I heard the situation at the front lines is quite critical, isn’t it? You all shouldn’t waste ti here.”
“You’re right, Lady Mary.”
Upon hearing this, Captain ld quickly regained his senses; they had co seeking assistance in the first place, knowing the urgency of the military situation. Initially, Captain ld had been worried whether Duanmu Huai could keep up with their pace; now it seed, instead, they had to worry about whether they would slow Duanmu Huai down.
“Then, we bid farewell… Ah, by the way, I will report this matter to His Majesty the King right away. He should send soldiers to seal off the area and prevent any interruptions. If you have any objections, the King would likely send envoys to address them……”
Having said this, Captain ld hurriedly mounted his horse, seemingly eager not to be left behind by Duanmu Huai, and rode away swiftly.
As Captain ld and his entourage reported to the King at the Royal Palace, Duanmu Huai had already reached the desolate front line with utmost speed.
Just a small problem……
“Now that I think about it, I forgot to ask where their camp is……”
Suspended in the air, surveying the endless wasteland before him, Duanmu Huai took another look at the map — Oh, it’s a dieval map; it’s good enough that it has so details, unlike in gas where camps are specifically marked.
“Never mind. Let’s just scout around.”
According to Captain ld, although the main force was defeated, so people managed to escape in ti, prompting the ergency report. So there must be a gathering place for them. Just scan and find the place where humans congregate… Oh, found it.
Well, it’s surprisingly bold and open.
Looking at the camp below, Duanmu Huai seed speechless. He initially thought that since these people had been driven out of their stronghold by the Demon Army, they would find a place suitable for hiding. Unexpectedly, they just boldly camped out in the wilderness?
This is a wasteland, a vast expanse where no trees can be seen, and you can see the horizon. Camping here, aren’t you afraid the Demon Army will just co for you?
Forget it, let’s go down and take a look.
With this thought, Duanmu Huai descended from the sky, landing right in the camp.
“Boom!”
The arrival of this massive object naturally drew attention from everyone in the camp. Upon seeing the nacing armor, the surrounding adventurers raised their weapons — But perhaps because he was holding two “hostages,” they didn’t imdiately attack.
Then Duanmu Huai let go, releasing Tower City Kitten and Naruse Mio.
“Phew……”
Tower City Kitten breathed a sigh of relief, shook herself like a real cat. Naruse Mio, on the other hand, landed heavily on the ground, taking a mont to regain her composure.
“Who are you!?”
At this mont, a woman holding a bow and arrow cautiously approached Duanmu Huai.
“We’re here to help.”
Duanmu Huai removed his helt and looked at the woman. Upon seeing Duanmu Huai’s face, the woman holding the bow and arrow trembled, and the next mont, the arrow she had been ready to release flew out, hitting Duanmu Huai’s power armor with a “clang,” then bounced away.
“………”
Duanmu Huai looked at his armor, then looked at the woman, remaining silent.
“……Sorry, my hand slipped.”
Seeing Duanmu Huai silently staring at her, the woman felt a bit embarrassed. She coughed softly, lowered her bow and arrow. She had already deduced that this man had no hostile intent, and he didn’t look like a demon.
“You say you’re here to help?”
“Correct, you inford the Kingdom that this place was attacked by the Demon Army, right? Captain ld found , so I ca first to check out the situation.”
“Our ssage reached the Royal City?”
Upon hearing this, the woman hesitated but soon grew wary.
“No way, even if our ssage reached the Royal City, how could they send reinforcents so quickly?”
“Because I flew over here. Okay, enough chatter, what’s the situation here?”
“You………”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s straightforward response, the woman hesitated for a mont, then furrowed her brows, staring at Duanmu Huai.
“Are you really sent by the Royal City? Do you have any token?”
“Token, huh……”
Faced with the woman’s inquiry, Duanmu Huai scratched his head, then tossed her the map he held.
“I just got this map from Captain ld; I don’t know if it counts?”
“Map……?”
Taking the map, the woman examined it carefully for a mont, then raised her head to look at Duanmu Huai.
“It’s indeed the Royal Family’s map. Alright, I’ll take your word for it.”
Saying this, the woman extended her hand to Duanmu Huai.
“Welco to our glorious Rogge Camp, Steel Warrior. I’m Kasha, the rcenary leader of this camp.”
“I’m the Great Judge of the Tribunal, Duanmu Huai. These two are my followers.”
Duanmu Huai shook Kasha’s hand.
“Now, can you tell the specific situation?”
“Of course, but before that, I hope you’ll et soone.”
“et soone?”
“That’s right.”
Facing Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, Kasha nodded.
“It’s the leader of this camp, Akara.”
