Chapter 337: Chapter 72: Shocking Change in ShaoKa_3

Moreover, the Dorott Duchy is a part of the Holy San Francisco Empire, touted as one of the three military powers of the Aegean continent that possess the strongest infantry known as the Mithril Basest Warriors. If the Dorott Duchy decides to attack the Bimon Kingdom under the command of the Holy San Francisco Empire, not only the isolated Felendis in the wilderness, but the entire Bimon Kingdom might have to issue the "Thorngrass Circlet Mobilization Order" to summon the general mobilization.

All the checkpoints in the wasteland have been removed, leaving the Bimon Kingdom’s gate wide open and turning Felendis into the next hurdle.

Liu Zhenhan didn’t have time to fly to the Salt-Alkali Forest to report the situation since he promptly flew back to Rovi’s outpost, urging the Musketeers to bury the bodies on spot and to immediately get on the road.

If not for the Newton’s Giant Birds, who took countless efforts to capture, Liu Zhenhan would have liked to chuck all these burdensome birds away at this moment.

Liu Zhenhan also rode a Fire Crane to Felendis to search for the traces of these enemy scouts. The wasteland was vast and hiding places were plentiful. To maintain confidentiality, Liu Zhenhan flew high and found these moving scouts. As suspected, they were indeed heading towards Felendis, about twenty people in total, surprisingly, they were using the flags of the diplomatic delegation. No matter if it is the border outpost or Felendis itself, they could easily get caught off guard.

Knowing the situation made things much easier. Liu Zhenhan instructed Guoguo to summon the fairy dragon, which was capable of instantaneous movement and flying, to temporarily act as a messenger and immediately report the intelligence to Cui Beixi. If a human delegation comes to Felendis carrying a delegation’s flag, they should immediately disarm them as soon as they arrive, leaving no survivors.

These two small squads were moving across the wasteland, each with their own duplicitous intentions.

Since they could not hurry on the road, Liu Zhenhan took the time to train the Newton’s Giant Birds. After training them with hunger and punishment, Liu Zhenhan, at the expense of whipping four giant birds to death on the spot, taught these magical beasts, who had some extent of wisdom, how to obey commands.

Originally, Liu Zhenhan was reluctant to do this, but due to time constraints and the looming outbreak of war, he could no longer afford to wait or bide his time.

A week later, the Newton Giant Birds gradually became accustomed to having something ride on their backs, became used to having a cage bit in their mouths, and started to understand simple directional instructions. Because their wings had been tied for several days, their wing ribs had started to bruise, and Liu Zhenhan had no choice but to untie the vines on these Newton Giant Birds’ wing ribs. Fearing that they would escape after being released, he ruthlessly cut their wing muscles with a dagger.

"Damn it! At most, when we get home, we can feed them with the bile of a Fei Wenli Python diluted in. If not, we can sew their wings back up!" Liu Zhenhan was ready to go all out.

A week had passed, according to the speed of the scouts’ horses, they should have already entered Felendis’ territory, while Liu Zhenhan was still a week’s journey from home.

The anxious Liu Zhenhan advised Ardu to lead the team on the road himself. If they ran into humans, regardless of the flag they carried, he instructed to kill them all. He himself rode a Fire Crane and went ahead with Guoguo back to Felendis.

Cui Beixi, the instructor in Felendis, was also anxiously waiting for Liu Zhenhan to return. The news reported by the fairy dragon was too shocking. Cui Beixi was even somewhat incredulous, wondering why the Dorott human Duchy would strike against the Bimon Kingdom using this despicable means of undeclared warfare. The two countries had always maintained trade relations, and there were no indications like the abduction of the princess by the desert people.

Out of caution, Cui Beixi even decided to temporarily postpone her thoughts of reporting to the temple.

If this matter turns out to be true, it would be a real disaster for the Bimon Kingdom. With their troops in the western front still recovering at the desert oasis after the great war, the northeastern and southeastern provinces currently only have ten army divisions each. If war truly breaks out, in a situation of total mobilization, it would take at least half a month for the human army to reach the southern bank of the Sanggan River. The time for preparation under nationwide mobilization might be rushed, but it was just enough.

What Cui Beixi feared most was if Richard’s story was false, there would be a chance for redemption.

As soon as Liu Zhenhan returned to Faelancy, the first words from the snake tutor were: "Richard, is the news you gave true or false?"

"Wolf’s seven outposts in the Donau Wasteland have all been leveled, and even the alarm signals couldn’t be sent out in time, is it true or false?" After recounting the horrors he witnessed at the outpost to everyone, Cui Beixi’s face turned extremely unsightly.

"We should retreat quickly. The kingdom’s military power is insufficient and they wouldn’t be able to provide us with any support. We can only retreat to the north of the Sanggan River." With the confirmation, dread filled the snake tutor’s heart. This potential invasion was undoubtedly a disaster for Faelancy which was the only territory in the entire southern wasteland and there were no other territories to come to each other’s rescue. The hilly terrain here was conducive to cavalry charges.

"That won’t work. The duty of a noble is to protect their lands, retreating without a fight would mean facing the judgement seat!" Liu Zhenhan who had been studying Beamon law recently absolutely couldn’t agree to this. He was terrified of someone secretly holding him accountable.

Dumb kid! If you die in battle, Great Shaman Wei An might truly jump from the window of the temple. The snake tutor thought.

"Why would Dorott want to wage war against our Bimon Kingdom?" Helen found it very strange: "We Beamon are much poorer than humans."

Upon hearing Helen’s words, Liu Zhenhan once again visualized the scene of the Wolf Riders being tail cut off.

"Damn it! Catch those scouts first, we must find out the reason!" Liu Zhenhan grinded his teeth: "There must be a high-ranking noble among those human scouts."

"Lend me the Fire Crane, I will report to the temple immediately." The snake tutor inhaled deeply, then spoke slowly.

"Let’s capture those scouts first. There aren’t many scouts, Faelancy can still handle this. We’ll find out their situation before making a decision." Liu Zhenhan said: "The Fire Crane is here anyway, reporting to the higher-ups will be convenient even if it takes a little while."

"Richard, you’ve become much more mature than before." Cui Beixi happily exclaimed.

"Scouts are the finest reconnaissance soldiers, the scouts of any armies consist of elite soldiers who excel in martial skills and quick thinking. We should prepare for any unexpected circumstances, I suspect... these human scouts might be equipped with expensive repeating crossbow cylinders, otherwise, they couldn’t have killed the brave Wolf at such a fast speed." Liu Zhenhan added: "All the militiamen should be cautious and ready. The cavalry should start searching immediately, remember, we need captives."

"Leave it to me." Korina nodded.
