“Southeast?”

The general puckered his brows. He spread the map open and scanned.

“If it’s in the Southeast, that is indeed the Bloody Field. But…”

Kaplan lifted his head and gazed at Rhode sternly.

“… I have to warn you, Mr. Rhode. The Bloody Field is the most unstable place in the enchanted field. In fact, we’ve faced ambushes from the devils in there. Unless necessary, we almost never dispatch any patrols to investigate that place because there may be thousands of devils lurking in there!”

The general paused, but to his disappointment, Rhode wasn’t affected by his warning at all. The young man continued to scan the map as though memorizing the path. Lesa stood beside him with her staff in hand, not wavered by him either. On the other side, the glinting eagerness in Anne’s eyes proved everything… It seemed like she couldn’t wait to get into a battle with the devils.

Who exactly are these people…

The general rolled his eyes helplessly.

Although he knew that the people around this young man weren’t ordinary beings, they were still two young girls who hadn’t even reached 16 years old… Their reactions after hearing about the demons were just too strange.

Is it ignorance or the pride of the strong?

The general couldn’t judge, but he had to say what was necessary.

“Mr. Rhode, there are countless gathering spots for the devils in the Bloody Field. No matter how powerful the three of you are, you can’t possibly take them all down. Besides, don’t forget that this is the underground. If…”

Kaplan was right about that. With Rhode’s current strength, it was too tough to eliminate thousands of devils. Not only that, but even if they possessed a powerful weapon, they had to consider the fact that they were in the underground. No matter how spacious the area was, there would be a solid layer of soil above them. If Rhode were to activate any powerful weapon, he might risk blasting the entire ceiling, causing it to crumble over them.

“Don’t worry, General Kaplan.”

Rhode took his advice since it was out of his goodwill. He knew that the enchanted field in that area had sealed the space. In other words, the leak in the Bloody Field was entirely a spatial leak, which meant that if he were unlucky, perhaps he wouldn’t see any devils the moment he stepped in. But in the blink of an eye as though a magic performance, hundreds of devils would show up in a flash. That would be disastrous and no one could rescue them. It wasn’t surprising that General Kaplan said he basically didn’t send any patrols to that place. If it were Rhode, he also wouldn’t be willing to do that unless absolutely necessary.

“How can one catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair? I’m willing to give it a shot. Besides, honestly, I won’t be heading into the Bloody Field just like this. I also have my troops with me.”

“How can one catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair?”

The general was astonished. But he quickly shifted his attention to the other sentence.

“Your troops? Sorry for being rude, but Mr. Rhode, I thought that you’ve only brought two young ladies with you…”

“You will get to see it when the time comes, General Kaplan.”

Rhode didn’t clarify the situation and Kaplan knew that it would be rude of him to pester. Since the young man said that he had his ways, it wouldn’t be nice to keep asking. As a militant, it was necessary to not be hesitant, which was why Kaplan made a firm decision.

“All right, I will dispatch a patrol team to bring you to the place closest to the Bloody Field. The path leading to the place isn’t complicated and I will prepare a map for you. But I hope that you’ll return as quickly as possible if you meet any devils along the way. No matter what, there is a high wall here to obstruct them here and the devils have an upper hand in the underground. So, when do you intend to move out?”

“The earlier, the better.”

Rhode thought that he could show some affection to Celestina for a while, but he didn’t expect that this demon young lady was too proud, so he gave up on this thought.

“All right. I thought of organizing a welcome banquet for you, but since you’ve said so… Hmm. Our 15th patrol is about to depart for their patrol. Just follow them.”
