329 Dongting Lakes Strange Occurrence (2/2)
Commander Li Man was wearing a frown. Her attractive face was filled with a hint of worry.
She never liked strange phenomena like this, as it was normally a sign of an approaching disaster.
She rose from her seat and ordered sternly,”Captain, give me the location. I'll investigate it myself!”
”Well, maybe we should wait...”
”I don't like to wait!” Li Man snapped.
As Commander Li Man finished her sentence, she was already dragging the captain out of the meeting hall. The rest of the people subconsciously shook their heads.
This empress in the army was as hot-tempered as usual. She insisted on investigating the matter herself even though it was most likely due to infighting within the beast horde. Or maybe she was just wilder and more violent than men, and preferred to go out on an exciting adventure instead of rotting here in Biyi City...
Tsk tsk, a woman who loved exciting adventures!
------
Communication between army headquarters was fairly transparent among the military. The information that Great Commander Qiu Xin had made public soon made its way to the headquarters in the south.
The army in the south was mainly in charge of the Demon Wolves Horde. Normally, the Dongting Lake's Giant Lizard Horde was not their concern, but their Commander Zhan Kong had been keeping an eye on them recently.
Zhan Kong had just received the news when someone knocked heavily on the door.
”Who's that?” Zhan Kong asked.
”Boss, it's me, Zhang Xiaohou!” his excited voice replied from behind the door.
”I knew you would come. Come in.” Zhan Kong said laughingly.
Zhang Xiaohou rushed into the room and blurted out excitedly, ”Is there any information about Brother Fan? I've heard that there's something strange happening at Dongting Lake. I recall what you told me before, and I think it's highly possible that it's actually Brother Fan himself...”
”Not sure yet, I'll send someone to investigate it. Don't panic.” Zhan Kong said.
”How can I not panic, he's my only brother!”
”I know, now off you go and wait patiently. I'll let you know when I learn something new.”
”No, boss, please let me go to Dongting Lake. I've finally had a glimpse of hope. I will bring Brother Fan back at all costs,” Zhang Xiaohou said with a stern face.
”It's not your business. Besides, with your current strength, you'll just be feeding yourself to the Giant Lizards.”
”It's definitely my business...Boss, I can take care of myself,” Zhang Xiaohou said.
”Idiot, with your capabilities, even if you trained ten more years, you will still die right away.” Zhan Kong booted the annoying kid out of his room.
What did he think Dongting Lake was?
Even he, Zhan Kong, had no confidence that he could return from there in one piece. An Intermediate Magician like that kid would definitely get himself killed if he went there!
