Chapter 677
They both thought it was necessary for Reist's risky act of giving the soldiers another night's rest, but they also knew that the Burning Legion would not be idle during this time.
Hatu will hurry up every minute to plan and calculate, but the Star Spirit Army is there to delay the fighter.
The disappearance of Crassus and Zeratul caused a small commotion among the Astral Clan. Garrod and the other berserkers now look like people who are about to go to the gallows, these archons are extremely important to the Star Spirit Clan, his duty is to make sure that nothing goes wrong with them, and now there are people who say goodbye right under his nose.
"Because of this, Lord Lester will not be able to spare me!"
The former captain of the guard and the others said this over and over again as they walked towards the nobles' tents. Although Zeling, who had just sent Zeratul and Crassus away, insisted on coming to exonerate him, Garrod had no comfort in his heart.
He knew that his serious crimes were inevitable, and this was the consequence of letting the two important members of the army leave easily.
At first, things turned out as he said, and it seemed that the bearded Lester was going to punish him severely. As soon as the nobleman heard the news, he yelled angrily and pushed aside the small conference table that was used to hold charts and documents.
"I've never allowed such a stupid move!" The master of Heiwu Mountain shouted, "They are violating military orders, and it will affect the stability of the entire army!" It's an extraordinary time, and a consul and a dark Templar are leaving us, and if the word goes outβ"
"They didn't leave us," Luo Sheng replied. "They're looking for help."
"Is it to ask for help from the Zerg? The two of them are trapping themselves, and the creatures will only eat them! Chen Feng is a friend of Zeratul, and under his command he can be our helper, but those wild insects areβ"
"The Zerg are the oldest and most intelligent race in this world. They have knowledge that we can't learn enough. β
"Most of us were already being eaten by them before we even started learning." Lester retorted, he glanced at Ze Ling, and his tone was immediately much softer, "As for you, what role did you play in it?" β
"We've seen it before. My lord. β
Lester leaned closer to look at her. He said, "Aha, that's right! We've seen it! Brooks, do you know her, belonging to your Dark Star Spirits? β
Brooks, who had been standing silent, nodded expressionlessly: "From the planet Shakulas." β
Lester crossed his hands over his chest. "I was expecting one of the two of you to have at least some influence on Zeratul. I know that there is no one who can command Master Crassus. β
"Zeratul wants to come back." Zeling said, "But the archon is going with the teacher. β
"Teacher? Are you referring to Zeratul? β
Zeling said, "Brooks can prove that the King of Carranline does exist. β
Blox's facial expression finally came. He muttered, "It's true. It really exists, I've seen him with my own eyes. β
"Humph! First the Zerg, and now the Demigods! There are a lot of strong and powerful guys around us. However, the strength of our army has not increased but decreased! I don't think this demigod will be on our side! β
"He and his ilk are fighting the demons in their own way." Zeling replied.
"Speaking of those demons, don't these two fools know that they are in danger of being assassinated at any time? What if they're attacked before they even arriveβ" Lester paused when he saw that everyone was looking away, and then said, "Are they already being attacked?" β
Ze Ling lowered his head and said, "Yes, my lord." Me and my fighters were there. We helped them defeat the demons, and they were both unharmed. β
Garrod frowned, and Bloxs shook his head vigorously. Lester let out a long sigh of relief and sat back at the small desk he had been using as a chair. He grabbed an open bottle, poured some wine, and said in a rough voice, "Tell me the details." β
Zeling began to speak.
She briefly recounted how she had discovered a killer nearby, and then how horrified she was when she learned that Zeratul and Crassus had gone to the woods.
She and her warriors chased after the two at such speeds, and when they arrived, they were in the midst of a fierce battle. Zeling knew they were risking their lives, but the warriors rushed forward, and some of them did die.
But everyone knew that Crassus and Zeratul were the key players who could help their side win, and that it would be impossible to sacrifice anything to protect them.
Broxs snorted disdainfully when he heard this, and Lester showed more interest than anyone else. He listened intently to every detail of the battle, especially when Zeling spoke of the demon with the whip in his hand, his eyes lit up.
"He must be an officer of the Burning Legion and the leader of those killers." He commented.
"Sort of. Although he was strong, Zeratul summoned lightning from the sky and finally killed him. β
"Well done!" There seemed to be a mixture of loss in Lester's appreciative tone: "So Zeratul must come back to us!" We need his strength! β
"The Star Spirit Guard and I can definitely replace someone like him who leaves without permission." Brooks' tone was hard.
"That's all it takes, Brooks, that's all it takes." He put the bottle aside, looked at everyone in the barracks, and then stopped his gaze on Rasen: "Archon, can you assure me that you will never leave us like your compatriot Crassus?" β
"I want to see the day when the Burning Legion is defeated, Lord Rest."
"Hmm...... It's not a good answer, but I knew you would say that. Captain of the Western Shadow Song ......"
The captain of the guard calmed down, took a few steps forward, and saluted: "Here, sir!" β
"I wanted to punish you hard at first, because you didn't look at people. But now, as I look a little deeper, I can't imagine anyone who can stand them, so it's remarkable that you've been able to keep them unscathed for so long. Please continue to do your partβI mean as long as there is someone to protect you. β
It took a long time for Garrod to understand what Lester meant, and he realized that the nobleman had praised himself for his good job of caregiving, so he immediately saluted again, and said, "Yes, sir!" Thank you so much, sir! β
"No need to be polite...... I just sympathize with you. Lester leaned forward and took a picture in his hand; All of you stand down, all of you stand down. So are you, Brooks. β
He shook his head as he read the information, muttering, "O god of civilization, please don't let me see the consul again......"
Rest's eviction order made Blox feel as if he had been slapped in the face by his armoured hand. Brooks bowed his head, barely bowed, and walked out of the tent after the others.
Brooks and Rason strode forward in silence, while Zeling walked with Garrod, who had not yet recovered his senses, and seemed to think his head should have moved.
A hand touched Ze Ling's shoulder: "Ze Ling......"
The rest of the people kept going. Ze Ling turned his head to face Brooks, his face no longer showing the small resentment of being kicked out by his master, but the same warm expression he had seen the last time the two of them had spoken together.
"Brooks? What-"
"I can't stop saying a word! It was Zeratul's naivety and ignorance that caused the current situation! I can't stand it anymore! He was so reckless and ignorant! β
She tried not to lose her manners and ducked to the side, saying, "Brooks, it's been a long and arduous one-"
"Listen to me! I was bent on learning the essence of Zeratul's path of depravity and sublimation, and I was able to accept that, because I had known that he wanted me to be different! But I know more than anyone else about Zeratul's ambitions! (To be continued......)
