Chapter 2039: Old Friend
After some inquiries,
the captain was named Urbano Boyi. He was already fifty-six years old and had served in the Behemoth Knight Order for over thirty years, making him a veteran through and through.
He had built this squad with his own hands, and its members were all students he had personally trained.
However,
in the very first encounter after the invasion war began, they had already lost three members... Yet he knew perfectly well that the situation before them directly concerned the survival of the Holy City. He himself had long been prepared to sacrifice his life.
Even though encountering another skull woman could wipe out the entire squad,
he still relied on his beastly instincts and senses to search for unusual presences in the city, doing everything possible to eliminate the dangers within.
After some time,
he glanced behind him and was surprised to find that the young man and his dog had actually kept up.
Such good stamina? No wonder Dos sensed something from him... This commoner has the potential to pass the Fate assessment. Maybe family circumstances prevented him from participating right away.
What a pity to waste such promising talent.
Just then,
the white wolf beneath him suddenly stopped and looked toward a two-story house nearby.
"Hey! Kid who wants to join the Knight Order, go inside and check the situation."
"Sure~"
Looking utterly fearless, Han Dong led Earth Dog straight into the unlocked building.
Urbano and the other knights remained outside, keeping at least five meters away from the building.
"What's going on inside?"
The young man's voice came from within. "It's dark inside, and it smells a little bloody... I don't see anyone for now."
"Check more carefully. We'll come in shortly."
"Oh, okay."
About a minute passed.
