Chapter 171

After informing about his next mission to everyone, Leon started to apologize.

"Sorry, Gisela." Leon lowered his head. "It looks like we will have to stay like this for a while longer."

"It's okay, master." Gisela smiled. "I'm just a bit sad because I can't help you."

Sorry, Amanda." Leon lowered his head again. "You will have to take my place and teach the survivors."

"Don't worry about it," Amanda said. "There is nothing left to teach; we just have to observe them and give a few pointers. The problem is, I am still struggling with how to heal wounds."

"That's no problem; I already told everyone what they need to do," Leon said. "Now, you guys just have to practice."

"Do you need a hand?" Lennart asked. "I believe I can be of some use against a horde of monsters."

"I don't plan to fight them up close; the skeletons will do the job," Leon explained. "Against millions of them, even I don't want to get too close. Besides, I believe you should stay with your sister and help the city if something happens."

"What about me?" Hector asked.

"Unless you want to die painfully, I recommend you make good use of that shield and protect my sister and niece." Leon frowned. "Besides, it's not like the leader can leave the city for weeks, right?"

"Yeah… but what about Betty and Sasha?" Hector said. "They are strong, but we already have the numbers to protects this place. However, if something happens, I bet they can carry you on their shoulders and run like hell."

"I don't think I will need much help since the targets this time are just monsters…" Leon thought for a few seconds. "But if they want to go, I won't refuse their help."

"I'm coming too!" Betty declared excitedly. "Hehe, a trip to Brazil… I always wanted to go there."

"I will try not to be a burden," Sasha said.

After Sasha and Betty left to pack their things, Amanda and Hector greeted each other with a high five. Leon sighed when he saw that, it looked like his sister didn't give up on the idea of finding a girlfriend for Leon, and now Hector joined the fray.

Leon wouldn't be able to keep an eye on his surroundings while he meditates to recover his mana, so it was better to bring some trustworthy people with him. That was why he didn't refuse Hector's offer.

Fortunately, Leon already had thousands of mana potions inside his magic box, and his clothes and other useful things he would use on the trip were also inside. So, he just had to wait for Sasha and Betty and then put their things inside the magic box.

Several choppers that had been used to bring the soldiers all over the world were in Las Vegas, but since most of them needed to be recharged and couldn't be used during the recharge time, Leon decided to travel using his earth platform. After finishing the preparations, those moved to the garden to say their farewells.

"Please, brother…" Amanda said, showing an unease face. "This time, return without losing your other limbs."

"So, you can even joke about that, huh?" Leon frowned.

"I'm not joking…" Amanda said

In the end, Leon could only nod while forcing a smile. It was a dangerous job, and someone or something caused the dungeon breaks, so it was hard to imagine what may happen. His friends' lives wouldn't be in danger since they were there only to escort him, but if something happens, Leon wasn't sure if he would be able to remain calm. The only thing he was sure was that he wouldn't make the same mistakes he did in Moscow.

"This time isn't some secret mission," Hector said. "So, at least call Amanda now and then to inform that you are right."

"I will. Don't worry," Leon said.

"Good luck, master," Gisela said.

"I wish you luck," Lennart said.

After that, Leon, Sasha, and Betty left Las Vegas. Brazil was a vast country, but the survivors only manage to secure a few of them since they lost their means of transportation due to the dragon's attack four years ago. Their first destination was a city called Fortaleza, the number of survivors and citizens there was quite the same they had in Las Vegas.

"How long will it take for us to reach that city?" Betty asked.

"If we fly in a straight line, we will reach in a little more than two days," Leon said. "Even though I don't want to let anyone see us, we will fly over the continent. It's too dangerous to fly over the ocean since there are no places to hide, and there are no landmarks. A storm could hit us and make us lose our sense of direction. So, we will probably reach that city in three days… If I don't sleep."

"Are you not going to sleep?" Sasha frowned.

"No, if we don't hurry, casualties may happen, and since we are the only ones who had been sent, the survivors won't trust the alliance if we don't show results as soon as possible," Leon explained. " We will need to protect five cities, but we can't do that all at once. So, I will create an undead army in all of them. Hopefully, the survivors in those cities managed to secure the potions like I asked Sarah…"

"What will we do in the meantime?" Betty asked.

"Right now… you two have to keep an eye on my surroundings," Leon answered. "I intend to fly over the east coast until we reach Fortaleza. However, I will use my free time to find a way to regenerate my limbs. So, my concentration will be halved. Report to me if you see something weird under us or approaching."
