Chapter 386: Moon King

Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No one expected the pursuit to last for five days. The enemy's strength, inspired by desperation to survive, was astounding. While there were some escaping child abductors left behind along the way, there were still many who continued running tenuously. After so many days, even Ye Chong felt a sense of admiration for these child abductors.

The cavalry no longer looked down on the child abductors, and instead, showed respect for their determination.

Han Gehong did not order his cavalry to move faster, but continued their pursuit steadily from behind.

However, something unexpected came up.

Looking at the forest in front of him, Han Gehong could not help but knitted his thick, bushy brows tightly together. Everyone knew that the child abductors were good at hiding in the forest. They were all experts in combat in the forest.

This battle had nearly wiped out the entire force of child abductors on Dankwood planet. If any of them escaped, it would be troublesome. If they enter the forest to pursue, they might not find all the child abductors. On the other hand, these remaining child abductors would surely fight back viciously, given their desperation. The forest also provided them a huge advantage.

These days, he had chased after the child abductors at a steady pace, hoping to wear off the enemy’s determination and avoid casualties on his side. He took great care of his subordinates, and would not want any of them to be harmed due to their pursuit. No one expected there to be a forest in this area.

Could this be fate?

”These few remaining ones will probably not cause any more great harm,” he thought to himself.

After discussing with Han Yue, the two of them came to an agreement on their next move. There was still business to attend to in Emerald City, and they did not want to waste too much time here.

”Never expected to see a forest here. We’ve made a mistake this time. There is still some business we need to attend to in the city, we’ll head back immediately,” Han Yue said to Luo Shi and Ye Chong from his ride.

”Sigh, it is Heaven’s will. Perhaps it’s not their time yet, don’t worry too much about it, Brother Han. We plan to head east from here, towards Abyss City. It’s a shame that I cannot accompany you back to Emerald City, Brother Han!” Ye Luo’s expression was one of regret.

”Of course not, Luo Shi. If we did not get the help from you both, the Han Family would probably have fallen. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. If there comes a time when you need help from our Family, just send the word over and we will do all we can!” Han Yue said this solemnly.

After a pause, he continued, ”It’s still some distance from here to Abyss. Take these two canterelles with you. That way, you would not be too burdened by your travels.”

Ye Luo shook his head and declined Han Yue’s generous offer. ”These quality war canterelles are not easy to tame, and it’d be waste to use them for simple travelling. We appreciate Brother Han’s offer, but we’re planning to get there on foot, and enjoy the scenery along the way.”

”If that is so, then I bid you farewell! Safe travels to you both!” Han Yue bowed to them both, and Han Gehong did the same.

Ye Luo returned the gesture. ”Safe travels to you as well!” Ye Chong said nothing and simply bowed back to them.

Han Yue and Han Gehong, together with their cavalry, marched into the distance.

”That Han Gehong is strong,” Ye Luo looked in the direction of the cavalry where they had vanished and said.

”Yes, very strong,” Ye Chong agreed.

Ye Luo looked on with yearning. ”There are so many strong people in this world, too many to count. I’ve thought that at my level, I’m probably quite close to the limits of combat world. Later, when I arrived at the free space zone, I realized how wrong I was! There are so many strong people here, be it the famous, the nameless, the young, the old, the men, or the women … There’s so, so many of them! Ever since then I decided not to return. Do you know? My childhood dream is to become the best combat expert, and not a mech pilot.

”I’m going to stay here and search for the essence of combat!”

Ye Luo’s young and determined voice echoed throughout the grassy plain.

Ye Chong looked at Ye Luo, and felt a sense of forlornness. Here was Ye Luo, so sure of his goal in life. What about himself? It seemed that he had never thought about it before.

Was his goal to survive? To find Mu and Shang? What about after that?

Ye Luo interrupted his thoughts. ”Hehe, however, if I want to stay here, then I gotta help deal with the Family’s business here, to earn more freedom. Come, let’s go find those tenacious b*stards!”
