Pointing to the south, the youth wearing only a grass skirt let out a few low cries towards the herd of beasts. The giant beast understood and nodded. It let out a series of muffled roars and slowly turned around. It seemed to be slow, but it was not slow as it headed in the direction it had come from. As a result, the wild boars, five-colored pythons, snakes, and other ferocious beasts all followed behind. Halfway through, the giant beast turned around and roared twice, as if it was communicating with something. The youth shook his head and the giant tortoise-like creature walked away.
When the herd left, Allen, Lola, and the others rode their horses to Keller's vicinity and looked at the youth who was left alone. The youth had already concealed the scales on his body when he fought against the outsider experts, and now he looked no different from a human. He turned around and swept his gaze across the crowd before finally landing on Allen. The moment he saw him, the youth's expressionless face finally revealed a smile.
This smile was like the sunlight after the heavy rain, brilliant and dazzling.
He opened his mouth and exhaled, "Father …"
Allen was stunned. Lola, who was beside him, opened her mouth wide. Belmore, Keller, and the others trembled as if they had been electrocuted. Then, their expressions when they looked at Allen became strange. Allen felt the strangest. He couldn't remember when he had a son no matter how hard he thought about it. Moreover, it was already so big!
The youth walked towards him. Allen frowned and jumped off his horse. The smile on the youth's face grew brighter and brighter. He also began to run and crashed into Allen's embrace. Allen couldn't help but grin when he bumped into the wound. The young man had a frightened look on his face. His nose twitched as he cried out involuntarily, "You're injured."
Then he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who hurt you?"
Allen felt that his words and actions came from the bottom of his heart. He was simple and straightforward, like a child who had never seen the world. Moreover, his concern for him was obvious, but this was even stranger. Lola whispered, "But if you look carefully, he really does look like you."
Allen was stunned for a moment, and then he looked carefully again. Sure enough, the young man's facial features were somewhat similar to his, even his hair color was exactly the same. The only difference was that the young man's pupils were golden in color, and there was a vertical stripe in the middle, just like the eyes of Lola when she transformed into an orc. Looking at this pair of eyes, Allen felt a sense of déjà vu. Suddenly, a scene flashed across his mind, and he couldn't help but cry out, "Bai? Are you Bai? "
The Black Twilight King Snake that had followed Allen to Planet Heaven had ordered it to hide in the Wilderness Highlands when Allen had set off for Ark Harbor. After that, Allen was so busy that he almost forgot about Wang She. Looking into the youth's eyes, he naturally thought of Wang She. The king snake that he named Bai had the exact same color as the youth's eyes.
When the young man heard this, he revealed a mouthful of white teeth and said, "So father didn't forget me. Bai is very happy."
Although Allen was mentally prepared, he was still extremely shocked when he heard this answer. The Black Twilight King Snake is considered by scholars to be a species with unlimited evolutionary possibilities. Some even suspect that this species is not a primo of Earth, but a life form from another planet. After all, after the high-level war began, Earth was no longer the lonely planet at the edge of the galaxy. There were plenty of opportunities for other alien lifeforms to come to Earth. It wasn't surprising that the Black Twilight King Snake was one of them, but Allen didn't expect that in the King Snake's evolution option, it could transform into a human, or a life that was infinitely close to a human!
If the scholars on Earth who specialized in the study of dangerous species were to find out about this, they would probably go crazy.
Seeing Allen's shocked expression, the youth lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong and said, "Doesn't Father like my current appearance? During Bai's evolution, he had considered that if he wanted to stay by his father's side, it would be more convenient for him to have a human appearance, so he decided to use his father's appearance as a blueprint for evolution. If you don't like it, I … "
"No." Allen shook his head and his eyes softened. He patted the youth's head and said, "That's good, Bai. I'm sorry I didn't take the time to go to the Wilderness Highlands to find you, but you appeared when I needed help the most. So no matter what form you appear in, it's enough for me that you're white. "
Hearing this, the youth nodded his head vigorously, revealing an innocent smile on his face.
Allen carried him onto the horse, but the aura on Bai's body made the horse's hooves weak, and it almost fell to the ground. Bai stuck out his tongue and restrained his aura. Only then did the warhorse recover. As a Black Twilight King Snake, his aura naturally suppressed animals and wild beasts. Otherwise, the exotic beasts and warbeasts wouldn't have stopped after sensing Bai's aura. Allen also jumped onto the horse and blinked at Keller, "Can we go now, General? I bet those guys on the other side won't attack again. "
"I think so too." Keller looked at the youth on the horse and sighed, "Today is the most wonderful day of my life."
They then returned to the team.
Seeing that there was a youth behind Allen, the crowd was not too surprised. After all, they did not see the youth kill three outsider experts with his bare hands, nor did they see the commander's posture, so they only treated him as an ordinary person. At best, the youth's handsomeness and the strange appearance of his ragged clothes made people look at him a few more times. Allen then asked someone to bring him a set of clothes that didn't fit him very well. Bai didn't care about it and put it on in a few seconds. After putting on his clothes, Bai was no different from an ordinary human teenager.
In addition, he looked somewhat similar to Allen, so no one was surprised that Bai called Allen "Father, Father". Although Allen didn't look very old, there were many people in the empire who were fathers at the same age as Allen. However, Bai came too suddenly, so people began to speculate that it was the illegitimate child of Allen and his lover.
Of course, Allen didn't care about this. He rode on his horse and looked in the direction of the Lyon Mountain Path with a heavy gaze. Bai Gai and Laura rode on the same horse. Laura loved Bai Gai and Laura loved Bai Gai very much. From time to time, he would rub his hair or pinch his ears. Bai could feel Allen's aura on her, which made him feel at ease, so he allowed Lola to do it. At this moment, the sound of horse hooves rang out. Remington rode his horse to Allen's side. The latter glanced at the lord of Mountain City and asked with a smile, "Is everyone alright?"
"No one is willing to leave their home, Lord Allen. That's why they're not much better, but they feel lucky to be able to get your protection after such a thing happened. "Remington asked tentatively," I have a question, my lord. "
"Just say it."
"Since the enemy has retreated, is there a need for us to move? I mean, perhaps we can take this opportunity to accumulate troops, strengthen the defensive line, and completely defend the Absolute Shadow Highlands so that the Shadow Duchy can't take a step forward … "
Allen looked at him with a smile.
Remington said embarrassedly, "Alright, I know that's impossible. Unless the imperial army is stationed here, it will be difficult for us to fight against the army of the Shadow Duchy no matter what."
"This is only one of the reasons, Mr. Remington." Allen looked in the direction of the Lyon Mountain Path. "There's another reason. The frontline battlefield in the south is not in Mountain City, but in another place."
Remington looked suspiciously at Allen. Then, as if he understood something, his entire body trembled and he cried out, "Unicorn territory? Do you mean that the unicorn territory is the next frontline of the southern battlefield? But if the Shadow Duchy wants to invade the South, shouldn't they use our Mountain City as a springboard and march through the Lyon Mountain Path? "
"Count, as you can see, I didn't bring many reinforcements this time." Allen said, "Limited troops is one reason. The other reason is that Mountain City is not the main battlefield." All the troops I can gather are probably set up on the side of the Unicorn Ridge. We have received important information that the Shadow Duchy will pretend to attack Mountain City. If we send our main forces to Mountain City to support them, the enemy's army will pass through the Emerald Mountain Range through a secret path and appear directly in the hinterland of the Unicorn Ridge. "
"There's no need for me to say it. You can guess what the outcome will be."
Remington's entire body trembled and he nodded, "The Unicorn Ridge will be razed in a day. Then the army will advance all the way east. Your territory will fall one after another because of the army's transfer to Mountain City." It could be imagined that the Bauhinia Territory, Dawn Castle, Light Territory, and Ark Castle would fall in a few days. Once these places were taken down by the Shadow Duchy, it would be equivalent to letting them temporarily gain a foothold in the Southern Territory. Next, they would threaten the Iron Spear Ridge and go all the way north to take the entire Southern Territory into their pockets. "
"That's right. Even if we had information, it would be too difficult for us to stop the Shadow Duchy with our strength alone. But seeing the Bucks Army here, I think there's still some hope. "Allen said softly.
What Allen didn't say was that even he didn't know how much hope there was.
At noon, the sun should have been shining brightly, but at this moment, in this forest, the light seemed dim and oppressive. There was no trace of wind. The trees were lush and bushes were everywhere. The forest seemed to have been frozen at a certain point in time. Occasionally, a few bird cries sounded in the forest, breaking the silence from time to time.
Fares hid in a bush. He had disguised himself sufficiently, and even his aura was restrained to the point where it seemed to be faintly discernible. The battle spear, Black Ice, was at hand, and it was placed within reach. Beside Fares, a beetle slowly crawled over, not noticing that there was something extra in the bushes.
A moment later, the beetle keenly felt a slight vibration, so it spread its wings and flew out with a buzz. As the beetle flew out of the bushes, it was suddenly sliced by a cold saber light. The beetle's wings fell off, and a hand reached out, grabbing the poor little thing in its palm and throwing it into its mouth. The Saber Demon, who was chewing on a beetle with one hand hanging on a branch, jumped down. He was a sentinel. After confirming that there were no abnormalities nearby, the Saber Demon let out a few soft howls towards the rear.
Not long after, the ground trembled slightly, and an army emerged from the depths of the forest. Like a black tide, it flooded through the forest and rolled forward.
