“Move forward and don’t stop!” The ripped the reins and darted forward on his horse

No one noticed that at the edge of the river bank, a fog gradually eed

“Boss, they’ve passed the riverbank,” Joey squatted by the shrub and chewed a straw that he had just put in his mouth He observed the situation before him with unconcealable anxiousness “East, South, and West All three directions have been raided It see to surround the Cloud Summit Fortress”

The shadows of the woods shrouded Rhode completely as he stood on a nearby hillside behind Joey and scanned the riverbank ahead Garcia gathered all his troops and gave Rhode a strangely important mission No matter what, the Cloud Summit Fortress was the only military installation nearby and it would be best for the enemies if they could expropriate it for their own Furthermore, the attackers would normally need to have three tie successfully and Rhode suspected that Garcia’s troops wouldn’t stand even a chance against their them However, this wasn’t a problem that Rhode should be concerned about Since that sloppywords, Rhode could only watch from the sidelines and it didn’twouldn’t be hih the forest swiftly with his pitch-black wooden bow and arrived by Rhode’s side “Sir, they’re here”

“Good” Rhode gestured in response and in an instant, the bushes behind hi returned to its tranquility

Scuttling footsteps sounded

Several scouts darted through the woods and they stopped to disperse and search in the woods Rhode didn’t conceal himself; instead, he took a few steps back and he was completely enveloped in darkness Then, he continued to observe the scouts in the distance

“…!” Lize stood beside Rhode with a pale complexion She placed one of her hands on her chest while the other grabbed onto Rhode’s sleeve as her eyes were fixated on the scouts in the distance Rhode had consoled Lize earlier that the scouts wouldn’t discover theer than the scouts and with the Rangers and Thieves, ere experts in concealment, around, the scouts wouldn’t be able to detect theh any traces and clues However, Lize was still worried regardless She stared fixedly at the hu the woods as she was afraid that she would be spotted by the lady felt that her heart was pounding so hard that it would pump out of her chest and she almost screamed innately This wasn’t normal for a mercenary that had experienced multiple battles But Lize also knew that it was the pressure of her responsibilities that made her this nervous… responsibilities that she had never bear before

It seemed like the soldiers that stayed behind were dead

Rhode twitched his brows It wasn’t surprising that the Cloud Suarrison had suffered a ainst the eneth in battle was far worse After receiving the report fro assistance instantly and decisively recalled all his troops in order to confront the enemies in the Cloud Suh this future hero wasn’t fareat as ever

Rhode felt uncoht of Garcia’s ‘fiery’ eyes Although Garcia didn’t tease Rhode in words, his overly passionate and creepy gaze had revealed his true thoughts Rhode would have killed hilad that he didn’t need to battle alongside him at least

“Sir, they’ve left” Randolf deep voice sounded along with the cold breeze Rhode gazed at the last soldier who vanished from his view At this moment, the sky had darkened completely as the final rays of sun disappeared into the horizon Alht Dragon Soul eht beautiful colors to the earth

“Good” Rhode gestured to Joey and in response, Joey let out a few deep hoots by placing his fingers on his lips Shortly after, the shadows behind Rhode wavered and they eed one after another
