Chapter 109 - 109 You Can Leave With Energy
“I’m sorry. Our orders were to guard the snow ramp and not let anyone through. I’m just a soldier.”
“My patience is limited. There are only forty or fifty of you. If we weren’t all Humans, I could order the charge now.”
“Sorry, the order I received was to guard here and not allow anyone to pass.”
“Then…”
I looked at the person in the silver-white heavy armor and felt more and more familiar. “You are Woody?”
“You… Young Master Chen Long?”
“It’s really you. After not seeing you for so many years, you’ve become a captain. What are you doing?”
“…”
Woody was silent for a long time.
“Young Master Chen Long, please save Fire Dragon City.”
Fang Ping looked around, trying to see if there was a place with better elevation. If they really fought later, it would be easier to command if he stood high and could see far.
However, there were no trees here, nor were there any particularly large rocks.
Fang Ping was still searching when he saw the cavalry moving forward.
It had only been a few minutes. Were they going to fight?
“Everyone, be on your guard.”
As soon as he shouted, he saw someone walking out against the cavalry. It was Elsa and Chen Long.
“Form up. Return.”
Was it over just like that?
He did not know what had happened in front of him. He would ask Chen Long later.
Passing by the Demon Flame Chimera, Fang Ping raised his head and glanced at Ivan on it. He was still cultivating and had no intention of leaving.
“Hiss!”
When he turned around, a huge cobra head suddenly appeared in front of Fang Ping, scaring him so much that he took two steps back.
The cobra slowly retreated and flew into the air, swaying left and right.
The tail of the Demon Flame Chimera was also terrifying.
Returning to the carriage, he picked up his backpack and the carriage of the Lord’s Guards began to set off, climbing up the slope with difficulty.
In any case, these horses were permanent energy creatures. They ate energy fragments and could walk if they had energy.
After the carriage left, the Elite Team set off.
When he passed by the Demon Flame Chimera again, Ivan was still cultivating with his eyes closed.
As they moved forward, the snow deepened. From four to five centimeters deep, it slowly covered their calves. Every step became strenuous.
Coupled with the steep slope, this section of the road was not easy to walk.
In the ice and snow, Fang Ping felt that his head was starting to sweat.
Then, by the roadside, Fang Ping realized that three soldiers were busy digging.
Beside them, on the white snow, lay a figure in silver armor.
What was going on? Had someone died?
Elsa said, “Stand still and bow.”
Fang Ping also bowed to the figure. The dead were important, so there was nothing wrong with bowing.
However, it did not seem like a battle had erupted. Why did one person die?
Elsa didn’t intend to explain further and continued walking with the Elite Team.
After walking past the figure for a long time, Fang Ping turned back to take another look. The pit had been dug. Two Warriors lifted the taxi driver and placed him into the pit.
The bright silver armor followed him and was put in.
Fang Ping felt that it was a pity. His tattered Elemental Set cost five Silver Dragons. Although he did not know what that silver-white armor was, it was definitely not cheap.
‘How about…?’
Forget it, forget it. Don’t think about these useless things.
He turned around and walked forward, stepping on the footprints of the people in front of him. This way, it was easier to walk.
Fang Ping also saw Chen Long. He was also looking back.
Under the black robe, his expression could not be seen, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
“Class President, this is the Sanxiang Wine that I bought yesterday. It sells very well. I specially saved this bottle for you.”
“Okay, how much?”
“I’ll sell it to others for twenty-eight copper horns. I’ll give it to you. A silver dragon.”
Ivan took out a small silver coin and handed it to Aoba. He took the bottle of yellowish-brown Sanxiang Wine from him and shook it.
“Many shops in the Giant Cannon Plaza have moved out now. It’s really inconvenient to buy things.”
Aoba put the silver coins into his pocket and said, “Class Monitor, tell me what you want. I’ll help you buy it. Just give me some errand money.”
“Someone’s running errands for me. I don’t need you.”
“Mm.” Aoba nodded. Ivan had a student accompanying him.
“Class President, I heard that something happened in Fire Dragon City. Do you think the Elite Team is doing well?”
“What’s wrong? Who are you concerned about? Fang Ping?” Ivan grinned. His eyes became a line as he looked at Aoba meaningfully.
Aoba admitted, “Yes, he’s my teacher.”
“Your teacher…” Ivan’s voice slowly dragged. “He reminds me of someone.”
Aoba smiled and said, “We’re getting off topic. I’m asking you about Fire Dragon City.”
“That’s true. Fire Dragon City is quite complicated. I’ve received news that Claude has publicly said that he wants to break away from the king’s rule. His subordinates have different opinions, but they haven’t made a clear objection to Claude.
“Then, there was no sound from the capital. The king only said one word: wait. As for Grand Duke Dewey, there’s still no news of him until now. No one knows where he is. If Grand Duke Dewey speaks, this matter should be easy to resolve.”
“Duke Dewey…”
“Duke Dewey still has a lot of influence in Fire Dragon City. His family deserves the respect of Fire Dragon City.”
They were silent for a while.
“What about Elf Princess Sif? Was she really captured by Fire Dragon City?”
“Yes, Claude gave the order to capture him. He’s still locked up in the Fire Dragon Fortress. Such an important figure shouldn’t die so quickly.”
“It’s just that the Forest of Elves hasn’t been peaceful recently. It seems like something is going to happen. However, I don’t know the details.”
Ivan smiled. “This information is worth a lot. I don’t think there’s a second Class President as good as me.”
“Then I’ll treat you to breakfast tomorrow morning.”
“I want you to make it. Fragrant roasted unicorn steak.”
“Are you sure you want to eat this in the morning?”
Ivan patted his round stomach and laughed. “That’s right! I’ll eat as much as you roast.”
“I really shouldn’t have agreed to it. You can provide the spices.”
“Hahaha, good!”
…
They climbed up the snowy slope. They did not walk for long before the Lord’s Guard in front of them stopped again.
Just as Fang Ping was wondering if something had happened up ahead, the carriage carrying water slowly approached.
It seemed like they were preparing to rest.
The sky hadn’t turned dark yet. It was only four or five o’clock. Why were they resting so early today?
The uncle who was fetching water from the carriage answered Fang Ping’s question.
“There’s a hot spring river ahead. Our Lord’s Guards are bathing. You can go there later.”
These days, although there was a spring in the carriage and daily drinking could be guaranteed, it was not very good to take a shower. At most, he would rinse a cloth and wipe himself.
After all, when the conditions were restrictive, he could only make do.
However, it was different when there’s a hot spring river.
Bathing, washing clothes, cleaning weapons and armor, the bloodstains of the previous wounds on his body, and so on.
