66 Chapter 66: What To Do... (2/2)

We pick a back corner to stand to and stay there, occasionally whispering.

” So they have people of other kingdoms,” I mutter.

”Yes, most likely they'll pose a threat to other kingdoms later on, since all cults are like that,” XiaoLong whispers back.

Since the rest of the meeting was quite unimportant, I had to muffle so many yawns to prevent drawing attention.

”How do these local people stay awake like this?”

”Dunno…”

… and we confirmed that they will target other kingdoms after us.

We walk out at about 1 am. The children seemed to be sleepwalking out of the cave, tired. Some of the parents carried them on their backs.

XiaoLong and I walked hand in hand back to the hotel.

XiaoLong sighs, ”I had the Commander tell our parents. They sent letters to the other kingdoms, but the other kingdoms didn't seem to care.”

I clench my teeth, ”What the heck? They're at risk too!”

”It doesn't seem like they believe us.”

”Aargh!”

I put my palm on my forehead and sigh, ”So what now?”

”Hmmm…”

He frowns, ”There's not much we can do…”

We rack our brains in the dilemma. Even the maids and servants around us start to worry.

However, ”Don't tell the public, it will only make things worse,” XiaoLong and I commanded them, sternly.

They could only nod and agree.

I trained my 'self-defense' skills like crazy for the next day, if it could help.

”At this point the only thing we can really do is fight them head on. The other countries will then probably take this as an advantage and join in at a later time, wiping us both out and taking our land…”

XiaoLong stops in surprise when he sees me smile with a glint in my eye.
