After being infected by the wolf plague, the powerful life force granted to the man allowed him to stay alive even though he was pinned to the floor. Instead, he struggled even harder.
He even let out a series of wolf howls.
"Damn it!
Let me go!
I … "
Kieran raised his foot and tapped the man's head when he heard the howls.
He grasped the perfect amount of strength and knocked the man out completely.
If it wasn't for [Mesly Ring] being on cooldown, Kieran wouldn't even waste his breath on the man, he would ask everything he wanted to know.
But now?
Kieran raised his hand and Gregori, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped up and dragged the man to the cell beside.
Walloon looked at the aide who was taken away and opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But in the end, nothing came out.
He didn't explain nor did he sigh.
In front of the truth, all these were unnecessary and unnecessary.
Kieran was even more direct.
He didn't even look at the aide who was taken away and asked Walloon, "I want to know what happened to Burning Dawn!"
"Although I'm investigating, a lot of things are better left to the person involved to explain to me."
"The more detailed, the better."
Kieran emphasized.
Walloon didn't reject Kieran's question.
Kieran's identity as the imperial envoy and the capabilities that he displayed just now were enough to convince the major to obey.
A deep breath later, Walloon organized his words.
Then, the major said.
"Burning Dawn was ambushed.
Without any warning, darkness enveloped Burning Dawn's base.
Then … "
"Agonizing wails filled my ears.
I picked up the weapon beside me and wanted to fight but I couldn't even see what the enemy looked like. When the darkness dispersed, all I saw were bodies.
Bodies that died horribly, as if they were tortured to death, it was a horrible sight to behold. "
There was an obvious look of horror on the major's face as he spoke.
It seemed like what happened that day scared the professional soldier.
"Darkness? Tortured to death? "
Kieran was searching for the words that he should pay attention to.
"That's right!"
"The darkness appeared during the day, blocking the sun and swallowing the flames. There were torches in the camp for the smoke signal, but the torches could not give off any light in the dark."
"Many of my colleagues have more than one wound on their bodies, but most of them are not fatal. The truly fatal one is the one that pierced through the heart. It is obvious that the attacker is enjoying the process."
As Warren spoke, the fear on his face quickly dissipated and was replaced by anger.
The middle-aged man clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Then why are you fine?"
Kieran continued to ask.
Such a question seemed weak and offensive.
But Walloon didn't refute at all. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'd rather die in that darkness than live in fear like now."
"Not long after the darkness passed, the wolf plague started to appear on the survivors."
"Tremendous power and wildness made them turn into them. They began to attack their former comrades and colleagues. When they woke up, they turned back into them and couldn't accept this fact. Many of them chose to commit suicide, and some of them disappeared from the military camp."
"As for the rest, once they showed symptoms of being infected, they would lock themselves in a cage while still conscious. Even after they recovered, they wouldn't want to come out because they were worried that they would do something irreversible."
"But some of them were different …"
"You saw it for yourself, even my aide thought it was a chance."
"I understand him."
"Because if I was infected, I wouldn't know what to do either."
"So, please save them!"
Walloon stood up and knelt down on one knee.
He reached out his right hand and placed it on his chest, knocking it hard.
Bang!
Walloon's eyes were looking at Kieran with a pleading and hopeful gaze amidst the ramming of fists and chest.
"You are our only hope now!"
Walloon said with utmost sincerity.
The soldiers who followed him also knelt down on one knee.
"Please save our comrades-in-arms and colleagues."
They said loudly.
Kieran looked down at the men who knelt down on one knee. He saw their heartfelt pleading and felt the anxiety in their emotions.
In the end, Kieran slightly nodded.
Such a strange thing existed in the world.
In an atmosphere filled with selfishness, there would always be some people who didn't fit in with the group.
They didn't think for themselves, only for others.
They might seem like idiots or fools.
But they deserved respect.
The men before Walloon were such a group of respectable people.
As long as it was within his capabilities, Kieran wouldn't object to the request of such a group of people.
More so, because it was a special event, Kieran would surely agree to it.
"You agreed?"
Walloon asked in surprise.
"Mm."
"But I have a condition, listen to my orders at all times, don't question my actions! I assure you, I will try my best to save your comrades and colleagues but I can't guarantee success in the end! "
Kieran added.
Since he agreed to help them, he would do his best.
Although he had some guesses about the appearance of the wolf plague, no one could guarantee that it would be an accident.
Therefore, it was better to say some things in advance.
"No problem!"
"When do we depart?"
Walloon agreed right away.
Burning Dawn was like a drowning man, they wouldn't let go of any hope, even if it was a floating straw, they would grab it with their hands.
"Now."
"Gregori, bring our captives and five men with us. We'll depart."
Kieran then walked out after giving his order.
He was already a step too late, so he wouldn't drag it out any longer.
The earlier he arrived at Burning Dawn's camp, the earlier he could figure out what was going on, the earlier he could turn the tides around.
"Yes, my lord."
Gregori bowed and answered.
Soon, the group including Sharly, Evie Dan, and Walloon's aide-de-camp departed from Shatterstone Town.
"From Shatterstone Town to Burning Dawn's north camp, it will take a day.
There is a Burning Dawn outpost six hours away from us. There are a hundred elite soldiers stationed there and they are all well-equipped, so we will be safe on the way. "
"Don't worry about the supplies either."
Walloon and Kieran were riding their horses on Supreme Road.
The major was explaining the general situation along the way to Kieran.
When he mentioned the outpost of Burning Dawn, the major of Burning Dawn was proud of himself.
