Chapter 697: There is a barracks here
Robb found it great that someone helped him explain things, so he could use a small part of magic openly without hiding it. As long as he didn't overdo it, Madeline might not notice even if he exaggerated a bit. She would probably only say, "You have a great talent," and he could get away with it as long as the Queen didn't see it. Madeline boasted about herself so much that even the queen wouldn't believe her and would scold her for taking credit for things.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m
A member of the Wind Knights kicked the corpse on the ground and saw the lightning emblem on the body, his face immediately turned ugly. "This is the symbol of the Thunder Knights. This guy is from the Thunder Knights."
The soldiers around them gathered to take a look and confirmed the emblem, their faces showing displeasure.
Air magic is divided into two branches: wind magic and thunder magic. These two branches form the Wind Knights and the Thunder Knights, respectively, and together form the Air System. They stand on equal footing with Water, Fire, and Earth systems. However, the relationship between these two branches is not good.
"Scum of the Thunder Knights!" A soldier muttered, "When the old captain was still alive, although our Wind Knights was in the upper hand, we didn't bully the Thunder Knights. Instead, we took care of them in every possible way. But these guys joined Mondra's rebel army immediately after the old captain died and worked hard to squeeze us out of the capital. They are despicable."
Another soldier said, "But it's also good that we don't have to work for Mondra."
"Hmph! Although that's the case," the soldier who spoke before said, "I suffered for sixteen years in the countryside, and this account still needs to be settled with the Thunder Knights."
"Now is the chance, isn't it?" A Black Earth Knight said, "The Thunder Knights are now rebels. You can settle this debt with them."
"Uh-huh!" The soldiers of the Wind Knights heard this and couldn't help but clench their fists.
They continued forward, and this time the Wind Knights scouts were much more careful. Some of the scouts could stealth, and they used this skill to move ahead, with the rest of the group trailing behind intentionally. In this way, the scouts could sneak up and fight the enemy's scouts unnoticed.
Kante asked, "Roughly how many people are there? Can you tell?"
Another Black Earth Knight whispered, "Young people have no experience. As long as you look at the size of the camp, you can guess the number of people. This army should have between five hundred and six hundred people."
"So many!" Kante clicked his tongue. "Our twenty-four people can't beat them."
"Nonsense!" another knight of the Furious Wind Knights whispered, "We can only stealth a look at what this army is doing, and then report back as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded, crawling along the ground and slowly approaching the military camp.
Robb didn't want to crawl on the ground, so he deliberately lagged behind a little. When everyone crawled out for a while and no one looked back, he sneaked forward, disappeared without a trace, and then didn't have to crawl anymore. He stood up and walked forward confidently.
Soon, Robb reached the edge of the military camp. Kante and the others crawled for a while before catching up with Robb. But they didn't know that Robb was standing very close to them. Kante even turned around to look for Robb to see if he had caught up, but he didn't see him and thought he was lying in some grass pile and didn't pay much attention.
