Chapter 835: Chapter 835: The Bottom of the Lake

A stark red crack appeared on the floor of the office, not on Han Dong’s body.

“Captain Shaia, don’t be angry. Aren’t I asking for your opinion?”

Shaia was already somewhat irate about Han Dong making dangerous decisions on his own.

Who would have known that not only did Han Dong not reflect on his risky actions in Perugia City, he was even thinking about participating in the upcoming potential “ambush battles.”

The Expeditionary Army had only estimated the enemy’s method of attack.

The exact time, location, and number of troops, as well as how many Ancestor Bodies would participate in the battle, were all still unknown… The difficulty and danger of the battle would be far greater than the siege of Perugia.

Shaia was so angry that she nearly whipped Han Dong, yet she still had some reservations.

Of course… Han Dong also knew what the problem was.

The reason he was in such a rush to make this request was that the important information about “Land Deed Devouring” he had learned from the Count forced Han Dong to change his plans temporarily.

Han Dong wanted to take advantage of the early “Intermediate-Low Level Battles” to expand his land deed area.

Thus, allowing himself to accommodate more useful things in the later stages of the Big Expedition.

Shaia’s jade feet gently stepped on Han Dong’s thigh, and her fingers also gestured the number [1]:

“One reason! Just one reason, and not more… If you can’t persuade me, don’t ever bring this matter up again.

I have personally checked your body and know you are extraordinary.

But don’t underestimate this Big Expedition… Should anything happen to you, it would be a tremendous loss for the Expeditionary Army and for the Holy City.”

Han Dong could tell that after the series of experiences in the previous period, Captain Shaia had become much more concerned about him.

However… Han Dong had to seize the battle opportunities in the early stage of the expedition.

“I can confront a Lord just like in Perugia by working with Lucius,” “I am able to lock onto the position of Ancestor Bodies in advance through perception,” “During the battle, I will stay as close as possible to other combatants as a supporter, reducing the danger to the lowest possible”…

Various reasons floated in Han Dong’s mind, yet all had the potential to be rebutted.

Moreover, Captain Shaia was on edge, and the reason must have 120% persuasive power.

For some reason.

Just as Han Dong was pondering a reason that wouldn’t be denied, a strange image of Dumps flicking his fingers suddenly flashed through his mind, as if hinting at something.

“Huh…”

Han Dong took a deep breath.

“If Captain Shaia allows me to join this battle, afterwards, I am willing to be ‘at your beck and call.'”

A change in strategy.

A switch to a different kind of persuasive technique.

Dumps had once walked sideways through the academy as an Apprentice Knight by using this very tactic.

Since Captain Shaia was interested in him, Han Dong would amplify this ‘interest’ as much as possible, even using it as a chip to exchange for certain privileges.

Although Han Dong was not willing to do so at heart, even being stepped on by jade feet did not provoke the slightest reaction in him.

But for the sake of development and the cause of human freedom, Han Dong was willing to sacrifice some things… At most, he would stay in the Dean’s office and provide some massage services or endure a few whip lashes; a true man knows when to bow and when to stand tall—this is nothing.

Besides, the other party holds the highest position in the Holy City, being a Duke who overlooks the Royal Family.

How many people in the entire Holy City could endure her whip?

“Hmm?”

For a moment, Captain Shaia’s anger seemed to be really pushed back.

“‘At your beck and call’… It’s just a pity you’re not one of the Scarlet Knights.

Alright, if you’re in such a hurry to go to battle, there must be a reason.

I won’t pry into your private matters. I just want to confirm one thing.

What is your purpose for joining the battle?”

“Mostly for myself, a small part for the ‘Big Expedition’ to achieve a stage victory.”

“You’re quite honest… Let me guess, do you perhaps possess a power that can absorb demons or is related to ‘Land Deed’?”

“Captain Shaia, there’s no need to guess anymore… if you keep guessing like this, there really will be nothing left.

I promise, when the ‘time is ripe,’ I will speak openly about everything.”

Just at that moment.

A warm finger landed between Han Dong’s lips.

“I was just guessing at random.

There’s no need to say anything, nor must you confess anything… Everyone has their privacy, including myself.

Some things, once confessed, aren’t necessarily good, and having followed Captain Hugo, you should be very aware of that… since Captain Hugo and the council have verified your ‘humanity’ at the Knight’s Convention, there’s nothing more to say.

‘Ready when called,’ that was what you said yourself, so I won’t be polite.

First, go take a bath in the next bathroom.”

“Captain, what are you planning to do?”

“I had thought the ‘Holy Sword Bloodline’ of the Hall Family was just a rare bloodline, but it’s actually much rarer than I had imagined.

The night before we left the city, I drank too much and didn’t manage to verify it clearly… Since you’ve also agreed, I will have to thoroughly examine you before we go into battle.”

At this time, all the buttons on Han Dong’s clothing had been undone by a big toe.

A true gentleman is honest and trustworthy, having promised something, naturally, he must fulfill it… With that thought, Han Dong strode head held high towards the bathroom.

…

[Lake Trasimeno]

Originally the fourth largest lake in Yidalos, the town and the well-known Lago Lancing Promenade are situated along its shores.

When Eternal Night fell.

The humans within a five-kilometer radius of the lake shore were immediately enslaved in their minds, and overnight, they built a peculiar Toad Statue and transported it to the center of the lake’s bottom.

At the same time, they moved all their buildings to the bottom of the lake as well.

If one were to compare the quietest areas in central Yidalos, Lake Trasimeno must be mentioned.

Even under the terror-filled screams of Eternal Night… once you get close to the lake, you will hear no static noise, or rather, any living creature that dares to make a noise in this area will become part of the silence.

The serene lake spanning thousands of acres is without a single flaw.

It was then that a demon with deer antler adornments swiftly arrived here.

Lying prostrate at the shore, in the role of a Messenger and with the name of its Lord, it explained its purpose.

All of a sudden.

A sudden fear, like a dike bursting forth, instantly overwhelmed the demon’s heart.

The tranquil surface of the lake suddenly erupted with a colossal being, a gigantic toad roughly half the size of the lake, giving no chance for the demon to resist, it was devoured in a single gulp.

As the last ripple spread across the surface of the lake.

The deadly quiet of silence descended once more…

In the blink of an eye, the Messenger demon had arrived at an urban center.

A ‘damp’ voice came from before him.

This very voice instantly soaked the antlered demon through, and even tadpoles started squirming in and out of its pores.

“Little fellow, the news from your swamp is really too slow… The Lords of Shadow Manor and Greenwood have already accepted my invitation and come to Toad City.

Let that mushroom of yours come over here as well.

Don’t think too poorly of those humans… in my eyes, humans are just a race with inferior flesh, but their brains are still worthy of respect.

I have a better ‘plan’ here.”
