Chapter 598 - Roland Slammed His Pen in a Rage (2/2)

“No more protecting her-Delpon is safe.” Andonara stepped forward, wrapped her arms around her man, and laid her head on his shoulder. “I’ve become so strong to help you, but it breaks my heart when you keep refusing me.”

Sniffing the nice womanly scent and listening to the woman’s soft words of love and sorrow, Roland sighed and yielded. “It’s okay to take you there, but once the situation gets out of hand, you have to retreat immediately, got it?”

“Okay!”

She immediately lifted her head, her smile like a blossoming flower, and the hidden bitterness earlier was gone.

Roland sighed inwardly. As expected… even a cute and helpless-looking beauty can lie to people.

Wuji’s mother[1]is a master of human nature.

Taking Andonara with him, he teleported directly near the base, only to find the base in a state of disarray.

Perhaps, the word “ruins” wouldn’t be too much to describe it.

Roland flew into the air and quickly found the players. After all, they hadn’t retreated much farther, and with several thousand people gathered together, the commotion was so great that it was still easy to find.

With Andonara in tow, Roland made his way to the oasis three kilometers away, which he remembered as a temporary resting spot for the werecats three days ago, but was now occupied by the players. The werecats were nowhere to be found.

Roland found the command center in the oasis and walked in.

Wright and a few of the chairmen were discussing their next step, and when they realized that Roland had come, many of them stood up excitedly.

Wright, in particular, pounced on him and hugged his leg, acting all weird and crying, “Almighty, you’re finally here. I thought you’d given up on us-after all, the psychological damage you’ve taken in the last three days is too great.”

Roland was quite speechless, sullen but unable to throw a tantrum.

This guy was mocking him with the figurines. Of course, it was harmless. Many of the other guild chairmen immediately smiled when they heard this. Letting go of Roland and turning his eyes to Andonara, he immediately stood up and smiled. “Welcome the Queen to our ministry for an inspection!”

Andonara: ???

At the same time, she looked at Roland with a puzzled gaze.

Although she had come into contact with Golden Sons other than Roland, those were more proper, or at least they behaved so in her presence.

This man… behaved like a clown, but there was an aura about him that wouldn’t make people think of him as a clown.

Not only did Wright’s expression change greatly at the sight of Andonara, but the other guild chairmen’s eyes glowed with excitement.

It wasn’t just that they were delighted to see beauty.

Though that was a small part of the reason, the real reason was that it was clear to them that Andonara was quite powerful.

She was recognized as a Great Swordsman mentor.

And there were two amongst the chairmen who were Great Swordsmen taught by Andonara.

They could all guess Roland’s intention in bringing Andonara here at this time.

“Since Roland and the Queen are here, we can finally make a reliable battle plan.”

Wright laughed.

Roland suddenly asked, “Where are the werecats who stayed here before?”

“They’re continuing to pull back,” Wright said seriously. “Don’t worry, we have propriety and won’t let the werecats on the frontline of battle.”

Roland sighed in relief.

“Almighty, come over and have a seat. Let’s talk about the current situation.” Wright appeared eagerly attentive.

But just as Roland was about to take a step, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded from outside the temporary command.

It was a signal of an incoming enemy.

“d.a.m.n it, here we go again!”

Wright cursed hatefully and immediately rushed out with the others.

A white shadow with a long afterimage was seen outside the oasis, and it instantly swept to the most crowded area.

And again, it halted instantly as if time had stopped, as if it was unaffected by inertia.

A swift wave of air then followed, sweeping along a large amount of sand and dust with a terrifying sonic boom, carrying everything around it.

A large number of players were swept into the air and knocked down.

And as soon as the white figure stopped, it immediately looked in the direction of the command center, revealing a grim smile.

Roland locked eyes with her, magic surging around him.

The opponent had locked onto this place.

A fight was inevitable.

Just as Roland was considering what spell to start with, Andonara suddenly moved. She transformed into a blaze of fire, shooting at the white-armored woman like a laser.

She was incredibly fast. Her opponent reacted extremely quickly and held out her hands when Andonara rushed to her.

Dong!

The two collided.

The sound of it was like thunder.

s.p.a.ce itself seemed to tremble. It was as if time had stopped for half a second.

Then the white-armored woman flew backward, out of the oasis, just like she had rushed inside, transforming into a white streak.

And where the two sides collided, a circular blast that expanded rapidly outward was created.

It rolled up the sand on the ground like a mini-tsunami.

Andonara stood in the center of the blast as if she were a Valkyrie. She unsheathed the Hero’s sword and held it in her hand.

Her whole body then burned with blue flames.

About half a second later, a giant blue firebird let out a loud, clear cry and flew out of the oasis.

All the players saw this.

They were speechless with awe. Wright touched his bald head. “d.a.m.n, it’s celestials fighting.”
