Chapter Eighty-two Departure

  "Even if he's confused, do you think he'd admit it? After being with him for so long, don't you understand him?" Han Jin chuckled and said: "That guy would never allow anyone to insult his intelligence! Even if he doesn't understand, he'll pretend to be very clear about it."

  "Ah……” Sasori also smiled, and then his gaze fell on Laito beside him: “Right, you are called Laito, aren’t you?” There was one thing that everyone had talked about many times before - the team lacked a qualified thief, which caused inconvenience in many ways. Laito's appearance satisfied their wishes, and Sasori knew exactly what Han Jin's intention was when he used magic to entice Laito earlier.

  "Yes, hello." Lei Zhe smiled.

  "My name is Sasou, from now on we are friends, please take care of me."

  Lei Zhe was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "If you don't mind me holding you back, I'll do my best."

  Sasou turned to Jin, and glanced at Leizhe with the corner of his eye, meaning, "Can you trust this person?" Xian'er had always been worried about recruiting people casually. So far, this small team was still very united, although each person kept some secrets, but they could trust each other. If a bad apple were to join them, it would spoil the whole bunch!

  Han thought for a moment, then nodded slowly. The fact that Lei Zhe's old servant could die with such a resolute attitude proved that Lei Zhe and his father had some extraordinary qualities. Loyalty was a very elastic thing, and those who were thoroughly loyal were rare. Taking himself and Stilberg as an example, if he always scolded or beat Stilberg every day, making him do all the dirty work while enjoying the good things himself, could Stilberg tolerate such an inhuman life for long? All emotions in this world were two-way!

  Sasou believed in Han Jin's judgment, and then changed the subject: "Raphael, what do you think we should do next? The Beit Alliance is about to fall apart, sigh... What kind of world is this, where can't even find a quiet place?"

  "We can't change anything, so we'll just take it one step at a time and go with the flow." Han Jin said slowly.

  "What's with Baituo? What happened to Baituo?" Lei Zhe was shocked.

  "Zagunede's Vampire Guard and Dark Elves have invaded the Beit Alliance."

  "How could it be..." Lei Zhe wanted to get up and ask clearly. As a result, he pulled the wound. He groaned in pain.

  "Don't get agitated. This kind of thing. It's not just us who can't do anything about it, you're the same too." Han Jin smiled wryly and said: "Wait till tomorrow morning, ask Xian Ni Er then."

  "I don't have a way either." Xanier's voice came over: "The Vampire Guard and the Silver Flying Horse Legion are almost the same. Both are known for their swift action, flexibility, and adaptability. The military forces of the Beit Alliance can't cope with the Vampire Guard who avoids decisive battles at all costs."

  "If you were the commander of the Beit Alliance, what would you do?" Han Jin asked. "I...” Xanthe hesitated for a moment: “Have you noticed? The Vampire Guard is using a tactic of dispersing and gathering. That's why we encountered those dozen or so vampires. If I were in command, I would hire large numbers of mercenary squads at a high price to disperse and fight separately, exhausting them through attrition. The regular army would be responsible for providing support from the sides. When the Vampire Guard feels that their losses are too great, they will withdraw on their own. However... given the Vampire Guard's style of action, the Beit Alliance's losses won't be small either. At least several hundred small villages will be reduced to ruins. And there may be even more."

  "Is there no other way besides this?"

  "You can go seek the help of the Dragon Clan." Xanier's eyes were complex, with a hint of mockery and hatred. She must have remembered the battle that made the Silver Winged Horse Army collapse: "However... watching the various races on the mainland slaughter each other is something the Dragon Clan finds very interesting. I guess they won't care about the life or death of the Beit Alliance. Although they also despise those dark creatures."

  "Never mind. Let's not talk about this anymore." Han Jin said softly, "Everyone should get some rest early. We still have a long way to go tomorrow." It was clear that Le Zhe's emotions were getting more and more agitated, and he seemed very concerned about the safety of the Beit Alliance. If they continued talking, it might be difficult to recruit Le Zhe. Just then, when he looked around at the scene before him, he couldn't help but jump in fright.

  Everyone had woken up and all eyes were focused on him, with a strange gaze.

  Moxinke only then discovered that Xilina's upper body was pressed against his, and his hands had somehow wrapped around her waist. Moxinke was deeply embarrassed at the time, and he immediately pushed Xilina away with a reverse hand.

  However, Mozhenke's strength was a bit too much, and Xilina's body flew up more than a meter high, thudded to the ground with a loud noise, and lay there in an extremely ungraceful posture.

  Even someone who was sleeping like the dead would wake up from such an attack, and Hina's eyes snapped open, but she remained still, probably because she hadn't grasped the situation yet.

  The next moment, Xilina felt sweetness in her mouth and a throbbing pain on her lips. She had bitten her own lip during the collision. Xilina sprang up, shouting: "Who? Who dares to throw me down!!"

  About half of the people stretched out their hands, all pointing to Mo Xinkuo. Xierna took a step forward and grabbed Mo Xinkuo's ear, shouting: "Do you want to die?!"

  Mo Xinkuo's face was sullen, he was a reasonable person, if Xierna had no reason to come and pull his ears, he would not have indulged Xierna's temper. But now it was his fault, he wanted to explain but didn't know how to explain, wanted to soften up and say a few good words, but under the gaze of everyone, how could a man who stood tall and proud apologize to a woman?

  "Cough... " Han Jin coughed and said: "I think we need to buy some tents, otherwise it will be very inconvenient at night."

  "Yes, yes." Sasuke nodded in agreement.

  "Xier Na, don't blame Mo Xinkuo, I think he was having a nightmare. Just now, he was kicking and punching wildly like a madman, and you happened to be lying on him, so it's no wonder he threw you off." Xian Ni'er said softly, but her voice was full of laughter.

  "Yes... sis, I didn't mean to." Mo Xinkai said with a forced smile.

  "Good for nothing! How old are you? Still afraid of having nightmares?" Xilena's face was full of resentment.

  Han Jin and Sasou are speechless, but the focus of Xian Ni Er is not on having nightmares, but rather that you are lying on Mo Xin Ke's body. Who knew that Xi Lina didn't have any awareness at all? She thinks this is normal? Gossip! It's said that Xi Lina's father passed away a long time ago, and later the two siblings relied on each other for survival. There must be many stories between them.

  Xier Na let go of Mo Xin Ke's ear, and then found another place that wasn't right, the leather armor on her chest was wet from something. Just now when she fell to the ground, it was also covered in mud: "How annoying, why is it so damp here? The dew yesterday was really heavy!"

  At this point, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter. In fact, when camping outdoors, there's no need to talk about conditions because it's only natural that sleeping with an awkward posture would lead to drooling, the problem is that it shouldn't be displayed so openly.

  Mo Xinkai let out a sigh and turned over to sleep on the ground again. He could only use the ostrich tactic now - he refused to get up, so be it?

  "What are you laughing at?" Xilena asked angrily.

  "Alright, alright." Han Jin hastily intervened: "Michelle, shouldn't that be enough?"

  "Well, it's already roasted, and I brought some bread here, so let's just make do." Michelle replied with a smile.

  When he heard that it was time to eat, Musashi reluctantly got up. As a close combat professional, he absolutely could not afford to quarrel with his own stomach, otherwise his combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

  Michelle prepared not much food, but in this winter, Han Jin's cultivation had grown greatly, his total energy was close to a hundred jia, and he no longer relied on food for replenishment. Without such an unfathomable consumer, the food could be enough for everyone to eat their fill, and Michelle's workload also became easier.

  Han Jin was eating bread while thinking about something, and suddenly asked: "Lei Zhe, you are a member of the Bait Alliance, you should be very familiar with this place, what do you think we should go to at this time?"

  Little Joseph was feeding Le Zhe food, seeing Han Jin ask questions, he withdrew his hand and retreated to the side. Le Zhe hastily swallowed the food in his mouth, then hesitated for a moment: "Let's go to the ninth town anyway."

  "Is it safe there?"

  "The ninth town is behind the capital and should be safe, and I have a friend there who will take care of us."

  "With your identity... aren't you afraid of implicating him?" Han Jin asked in a low voice.

  Lei Zhe's face changed, and he sighed: "Then let's go to the capital anyway. Although Bait City is called the city of betrayal, it has been ridiculed by people for a long time, but its defense is still very strong. The Vampire Guard can't take it down."

  "Actually, what we need is a quiet place, Bait City is too big and has many inconveniences." Han Jin smiled: "As long as we don't contact your friends openly, it should be fine."

  "You mean...to go to the Ninth Town?" asked Lei Zhe.

  "Uh-huh."

  Lei Zhe was somewhat perplexed - since they had already decided to go to the Ninth Town, why say so much?

  "Everyone, let's get ready to leave." Han Jin said in a low voice. He had always believed that to see through a person, one couldn't wait until the moment of life and death, it would be too late by then! In fact, from small things, one could completely discern a person's character. If Lei Zhe had just explained how his friend was capable and righteous, Han Jin would have thought him untrustworthy. But Lei Zhe immediately changed his mind and didn't want to drag his friends down, which was enough to prove Lei Zhe's integrity.
