Chapter 1425 - Close your eyes (2/2)
“I don’t know… I feel that his reaction is somewhat strange.” Hackzord shook his head. It was impossible for his return to be hidden from Mask, but after earning the role as the Commander of the Western Front, Mask did not bother about his long disappearance or suggest for him to report to the King. If it were in the past, Mask would had used this opportunity to suppress Hackzord instead of letting the chance slip by.
“Master Sky Lord!” Right at this time, Siacis suddenly ran into the rock cave. “There has been activity with the humans!”
“That fast?” Hackzord was shocked. “What did you observe?”
He did not reveal his thoughts to anyone else aside from Silent Disaster and Siacis was no exception. His order to his subordinate was to report anything unusual about the humans.
“A human male has erected a flag on the hillside which you requested for us to observe, and he’s alone.”
Erecting a flag but not occupying the territory, that was extremely unusual!
Hackzord couldn’t help but exchange looks with Silent Disaster.
It had only been five days since they sent out the message, and was far from the half month that he had anticipated. This only proved one thing; not only did the Witch hold a powerful position, her authority was close to the top. Otherwise, it would had been impossible for the message to be delivered so quickly.
“Any movements on the Eye Demons?”
Although Witches were unable to enter Red Mist regions, he had prepared a Symbiotic Eye Demon for Siacis for safety reasons. After suffering the long distance attack by the blonde witch the last time, it had left a trauma in him.
“What was sensed was a human male without any magic power and should be a scout for the humans. Presently, there has been no sightings of any magic power observers.” Siacis hesitated for a moment. “My lord, what are you cautious about?”
“I will tell you everything when it’s over.” After Siacis’s departure, Hackzord turned to Silent Disaster. “Do you want to go?”
“Is there a need to ask?” The latter had already donned on her helmet.
…
After stepping through the Distortion Door, Silent Disaster slowly walked towards the soldier under the flag.
This time, she did not conceal herself intentionally, allowing the soldier to notice her.
Silent Disaster recognized him.
He was the one who had delivered the previous letter.
The scene was a rare sight. The human did not scream, run, or put up a desperate resistance; instead, he waited quietly for her to approach. Although his breathing was clearly somewhat chaotic, he did not retreat a step.
When the two came face to face, he spoke.
“I’ve delivered the letter, where are my companions?”
“They are alive. Return, I will release them.”
The man nodded, then took out a new piece of paper and handed it over.
Silent Disaster’s eyes immediately constricted.
It was the same as the first letter, written in their language with Nightmare Lord’s obvious style.
But the content was brief; it was only a single sentence.
“Focus yourself, and close your eyes.”
