Chapter 859: Time to Take the Initiative
Robb chuckled, “I’m just a man of the Kingdom of Gran who eloped with his beloved woman.”
The five adventurers glanced at him skeptically, clearly not believing his words. However, seeing that Robb was unwilling to divulge more, they let it go. Meeting a powerful stranger was not uncommon for high-level adventurers; it was just that this man’s strength was rather extraordinary.
The five of them saluted Robb and said, “It seems we don’t need to protect your safety anymore. We’ll go to the Adventurers’ Guild and report the incident of the Kingdom of Norma teaming up with demons once again. Oh, and here are these maps filled with marked mining sites.”
They expressed their gratitude to Robb, saying, “Thank you for your generous gift.”
Robb replied, “You’re welcome. If you can find good mines, it’s beneficial to me as well.”
“Hmm?” The five adventurers were slightly taken aback, sensing something from his words. However, before they could respond, Robb had already taken Suofa’s hand, swiftly vanished with a brush of movement, and disappeared without a trace.
The five adventurers could only sigh lightly in the direction where Robb disappeared. “I think we just encountered that legendary man.”
“It’s a pity we didn’t get to talk a little longer!”
“Let’s go. We’ll help him find good ores and then witness the Black Dragon together, haha.”
After lamenting for a while, the adventurers headed down the mountain.
In reality, Robb didn’t teleport very far because the transmission distance was only a few dozen yards. He grabbed Suofa’s hand, teleported to a spot not far away behind a rock, and hid, ensuring that the five adventurers couldn’t see them.
Suofa couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, what’s the use of teleporting and hiding like this?”
Robb smirked, “Showing off and then running away, it’s damn exciting.”
Suofa sighed, “…”
She glanced at the bodies of demons, minotaurs, and ogres on the ground and whispered, “Godfather, the demon army is coming again, and this time it’s not like the monsters in the Black Pine Mountains. These are the creatures from the Jinghong Mountains, the stronghold of the demon race. Their combat power might be unbelievably high. These monsters have been living in the same mountain range as the Black Dragon for a long time, and they aren’t even particularly afraid of the dragon. If they all gather together, it could be a significant threat.
And with the Kingdom of Norma and the Church of Light, their combined strength is truly terrifying.”
Robb shook his head, “If these guys could use the energy they use to deal with me to unite and confront the Black Dragon, wouldn’t that be great? But unfortunately, they won’t do it the righteous way.”
Suofa said, “Stop sighing and say something practical. Are we just going to wait for the enemy to surround us?”
Robb laughed, “What does it matter if they surround us? They’re all a bunch of scum, anyway.”
After showing off for a moment, Robb continued, “However, always sitting around waiting for people to come and attack me makes them underestimate me. Occasionally, I also need to take the initiative so that others don’t think I’m just a pushover who doesn’t fight back.”
Suofa questioned, “What should we do now?”
Robb took out his phone and smirked, “Now, of course, we close the door and call Xuelu.”
Suofa raised an eyebrow, “…”
The phone quickly connected, and on the other end, Xuelu’s laughter filled the line. “Darling, since when did you have time to call me? Usually, it’s only me calling you. You heartless person, never taking the initiative to call me.”
Robb sweated, “When did I become ‘darling’?”
Xuelu replied, “The moment you called me just now. Come clean, did you miss me?”
“I miss you, my foot,” Robb said. “I’m calling you for something important.”
Xuelu wondered, “You also have important matters to discuss?”
“Of course,” Robb said. “I’m a very serious person. A few days ago, the Black Dragon caused chaos and killed the Pharaoh. The Desert Kingdom is in turmoil. You might not be aware of it since you’re adventuring in the New Continent.”
Xuelu was truly unaware and exclaimed, “Things have escalated that much?”
Robb explained the rest of the situation, “In short, the Kingdom of Norma and the Church of Light have now allied with the demon race in the Jinghong mountains. They’re planning to come together to fight against me. This time, I don’t want to be lazy and wait for them to come. I need to quickly prepare to deal with the Black Dragon. I don’t have time to waste with them.”
Upon hearing this, Xuelu’s eyes lit up, “You’re going to take the initiative?”
Robb confirmed, “Yes! Isn’t it foolish to wait for the enemy to surround us?”
Suofa muttered under her breath, “You’ve always been foolish.”
Robb sighed, “Oh well, I’ll tolerate the teasing from a beauty. If it were a man, I’d kick him away.”
He addressed the crystal ball, saying, “Anyway, my plan now is to smash the demon race before they can surround us.”
“So, you’re going to directly defeat the Demon King?” Xuelu suddenly cheered, “Oh yeah, the Demon King’s City! This time, you’re definitely going to the Demon King’s City. Wait for me, I’ll be there soon.”
Xuelu said, “I’ll open a transmission gate to Westwind City on my side, and you open one to Westwind City as well. I’ll pass through both gates and be by your side in no time.”
Seeing her enthusiasm, Robb couldn’t help but feel amused and exasperated, “Alright, alright, open the gate then.”
While Robb was on the phone with Xuelu, Elsie was also making a call to Lord Nuolun.
“Nuolun, my old friend, the front line is tight. We need your support,” Elsie shouted into his phone.
“What’s going on? Godfather is leading the army himself this time, and Westwind City has sent five hundred warriors, plus three hundred retired soldiers from the Desert Kingdom. And you’re still saying the front line is tight? What on earth can stop you guys?” Lord Nuolun couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.
Elsie said, “Godfather is busy looking for ores to make new equipment for us. He’s not with the army. We encountered a giant scorpion that keeps burrowing underground and popping up to send us flying. It’s so damn frustrating, and we can’t do anything about it. I don’t want to waste Godfather’s time. We need to solve this problem ourselves.”
Lord Nuolun chuckled and laughed, “Haha!”
“Still laughing?” Elsie asked. “Your nephew, Kante Chengguang, got beaten up by the scorpion. Aren’t you concerned?”
Lord Nuolun calmly replied, “Just some bruises, right? He’s not dead, so it’s okay! A man needs to suffer a little and take some hits to grow. It’ll be beneficial for Kante to experience more battles like this.”
Elsie exclaimed, “But he’s your nephew! Are you really so heartless?”
“He’s a nephew,” Lord Nuolun said elegantly, maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor.
Elsie was speechless for a moment. “Anyway, I don’t have time for idle talk. I still need to treat the injured soldiers. Organize things on your end and ask a few experienced elf elders. They’ve lived for over nine hundred years and may have some methods to deal with the giant creature hiding underground.”
After Elsie finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
As soon as the call ended, Lord Nuolun’s gentlemanly face instantly turned dark. He angrily slammed the phone on the ground and flipped the table. “Damn it! Where did that damn creature come from? How dare it beat my son up and give him bruises! I won’t let that damn bastard live!”
