Chapter 728: Empty city strategy

Chapter 728: Empty city strategy

A few days later...

Evening!

As night fell, a crescent moon climbed into the sky.

Robb sat by a small river outside the camp, fishing.

In ancient times, camping was always done near a water source, so there was usually a river or a lake not far from the military camp, which made it convenient for Robb to fish for pleasure. However, the things he had caught in the past two days were quite bizarre, like dried bananas, torn socks, cloth armor...nothing pleasing to the eye.

In the distance, a team of human scouts returned and swapped places with another team of cat people scouts. The exhausted human scouts went back to the camp to rest, while the energetic cat people scout team ran past Robb. A leopard cat person waved at him and said, "Lord Robb, fishing again?"

Hearing this, Robb knew what he meant. These cat people were really crazy. Every time they passed by him, they would come and ask him how he was doing with false concern, but actually just to see what he had caught.

Robb laughed and cursed at them, "I've had no luck today, didn't catch any fish, just some miscellaneous stuff."

The cat people asked curiously, "What kind of stuff?"

Robb pulled out a dry thing and said, "A dried banana, want it?"

The cat people looked puzzled and asked, "How did you catch this in the water?"

Robb laughed and said, "If you want fish, catch them yourself. You guys are better at catching fish than I am at fishing."

The cat people shook their heads and went away.

These scouts were actually very hardworking. They had to circle outside the camp countless times every day, and the range of their scouting was very wide. This was because of the last time they suffered from poisonous fog. Now, Madeline was very strict with the scouts, requiring them to detect enemy forces from a very long distance to prevent the danger of poisonous fog.

If poisonous fog leaked because of their own team again, they would be punished according to military law.

By this time, Madeline had already come to the gate of the camp, the queen dismounted and hugged Madeline, western etiquette was to hug each other without any reserve. Robb opened his arms, as if he wanted to go over and hug her too, but a necromancer suddenly appeared next to him and hugged him, scaring Robb to turn around and run.

Madeline turned her head and said, "Mr. Robb, what are you doing there? Come and say hello to Elizabeth, she's here to promote you to duke."

"No way!" The queen said unkindly, "Don't talk nonsense."

Madeline only said one unreliable sentence and turned the topic back to the main issue, whispering, "You just brought everyone out like this? What about Bright Road? What if the Church of Darkness comes from behind..."

"No problem," the queen said calmly. "The crazy man promised to help me guard Bright Road."

Madeline frowned. "He's going to do it alone? If the Church of Darkness really intends to attack, it could be a big deal. And Godfather only has 500 Westwind soldiers to defend both Westwind City and Bright Road. It seems a bit precarious to me."

Robb spoke up from the side, "I think my teacher will be okay."

Madeline said, "Oh, really? Then it must be okay."

The queen remained silent.

The nearby necromancers all wiped their sweat together. The grand duke was good in many ways, but this one thing was just too unreliable.

The queen said, "Let's go to the military camp and study the map. I need to quickly understand the current situation on the front line."

Madeline nodded, "Okay!"

Everyone walked towards the camp. Robb was about to follow when he suddenly felt someone pat his shoulder. He immediately switched his consciousness back to the stone stool in Westwind City. It turned out to be Lillian who was tapping his shoulder. She was one of the few people who knew about Robb's dual-line operation. She deliberately patted his shoulder to bring his consciousness back and whispered in his ear, "The dwarf leader is here."
