Righteous Bandits (Part 2)

Upon seeing Sordil begin inscribing the Teleportation Array, Diphiya hurriedly stopped him.

"Sordil, we have no idea whether the enemy will pass through here, nor do we know the route of their transport convoy. Isn't it a bit too reckless to set up Teleportation Array here?"

Hearing Diphiya's words, Sordil broke out in a cold sweat. Yes, what if the enemy didn't come this way? After all, his current enemy was a giant dragon that could fly in the sky, not humans who were heavily reliant on land. Thinking this, Sordil gave Diphiya a dragon hug and said gratefully, "Diphiya, you're so smart! I love you so much!"

Slapping the groping hand off her face, Diphiya said irritably, "Just talk properly, why did you have to hit me! Besides, do you need to tell me I'm smart? Everyone in Fostadu knows that!"

Looking at the haughty Diphiya, Sordil couldn't resist ruffling her hair. After committing the crime, he immediately fled the scene with Lindel, leaving only a faint message in the sky.

"You all stay here for now. Lindel and I will go scout out the enemy's movements and will be back soon!"

Looking at the empty sky, Diphiya, filled with shame and anger, stomped her foot in frustration and muttered under her breath, "You stinky old man, don't fall into my hands next time, or I'll make you pay!"

Somewhere in the sea between the Western Continent

"Chief, have you offended Kelsu?"

Montedoss glared at his subordinates, his face darkening, and then yelled, "Can't you guys wish me well for once? Huh? You're always hoping I'll get into trouble or fall out of favor. Don't you ever think about what will happen to you little brats if I offend Kelsu?"

Wiping the spittle off his face, Black Dragon Deshed grinned and leaned closer, whispering, "Boss, it's not that we're cursing you, it's just that this job you took is... it's just too... too much!"

Which one?

"How embarrassing!"

"No... Kelsu entrusted me with the task of transporting food and water to the front lines. That's a sign of respect and trust. How did it become a disgrace in your mouths?"

"Boss, it's one thing for us to stand back and watch while they fight fiercely on the front lines, but now we don't even have that privilege anymore. We have to go to the rear and help them transport food and water. Isn't that shameful?"

Montedoss raised his right hand and 'gently' stroked his subordinate's head. When the subordinate's head was covered in ' Maruko ' and he transformed into Shakyamuni, he used his subordinate's buttocks to demonstrate the correct way to use the ' Heavenly Crippled Kick '. Immediately afterward, he unleashed a Shaolin martial art, the ' Vajra Lion's Roar '.

"What do you know, you blockhead! Is the front line really that fierce? It's that we're being fiercely attacked! If you ever went to the outposts on the north and south fronts, you'd know how lucky you are with your job! And do you think just anyone can do the supply transport mission? This is a mission that your boss beat out several competitors and staked my life on Kelsu. And you don't even appreciate it? I'll beat you to death!"

Seeing Montedoss wielding his iron fists and chasing after him, Deshed was terrified and hurriedly fled forward. Behind them, a group of escorts chased after them, laughing uproariously.

Not long after the escort team left, a large number of bubbles began to rise from the sea surface, and the next second, a huge purple head emerged from beneath the sea.

"Pfft! After all this time, I've finally found you bunch of bastards! I'll let you have your fun for a few more days. When you return with the grain, Prince 'll give you a proper welcome!"

After speaking, the purple head submerged into the water once more, and the sea returned to calm.

A few days later, in a dragon Dragon Clan Secret Realm on the Western Continent

What did you say?

Upon seeing the person before them become angry, Montedoss and the others immediately knelt down. Then, Montedoss said tremblingly, "Kelsu ordered me to return to the Western Continent and request Lords Shideweig Olibuk to procure food and water for the frontline troops."

"How did Kelsu and his two buddies fight? Not only did they not bring back any spoils, but they even asked the two of us for things!"

"Those three do want to transport your 'spoils of war,' but they're afraid that you'll have a stroke if you see them!"

After mentally criticizing the person in front of him, Montedoss said tremblingly, "Shideweig, it's not that Kelsu and the others weren't fighting hard, but that the enemy was too cunning!"

At this moment, a white dragon lying on one side spoke up, "Oh? So, according to you, Kelsu and the others were outmaneuvered by Ishgar's people and suffered a great loss?"

"Lord Olibuk, we've suffered more than just a loss; it's a complete and utter defeat!"

Upon hearing Montedoss's words, Olibuk and his companion immediately became interested in the situation at the front. Shideweig said, "Tell us about the battle situation at the front. I want to see what Kelsu and the other two went through, and what kind of desperate situation forced them to ask for help from the rear!"

After Shideweig finished speaking, Montedoss immediately relayed Kelsu's instructions verbatim before his departure.

"My lords, this is what happened. From the moment we entered Ishgar, we fell into a trap set by the enemy. They..."

Over the next half hour, Montedoss recounted the Fortify-and-Scorch Plan devised by Sordil and the details of the Northern and Southern Front Ambushes. Finally, Montedoss emphasized the current predicament on the front lines.

"Judging from their actions, they are fully aware of our plans, and their scheme is flawless and meticulously planned, step by step driving Kelsu and his men into such a desperate situation."

"Yes, yes, yes! Olibuk is right, and Kelsu and the others think the same way!"

"If things really turn out the way we think, then will those guys in Ishgar ambush the supply convoy halfway through?"

Upon hearing Shideweig's words, Montedoss gasped, suddenly feeling a chill creeping down his spine. After a moment of contemplation, Olibuk said, "It's not that bad. After all, the supply convoy is operating on our territory, and their men are trapped in Ishgar by Kelsu and his companions. Even if they wanted to intercept the convoy, they couldn't!"

Montedoss took a deep breath, his heart finally settling back into his stomach. Once the tension subsided, Montedoss suddenly remembered that his head was still in Kelsu's clutches, so he hurriedly said, "My lords, the matter is urgent! Please, sirs, quickly gather food and water!"

"Alright! We'll go and gather food and water right away. Also, you tell Kelsu that the losses from transporting supplies are too great and we can't hold out for long. Tell him to find a way to take care of those guys on the other side as soon as possible."

"Yes, I understand!"

A certain seabed

Thirteen enormous figures with transparent fish tanks on their heads were either leaning against the continental shelf, lying on the seabed plain, or chatting idly in groups of three or five.

"Brother Sordil, are you sure those guys will pass through here?"

"Brother Igneel, don't worry! I've left magical marks on the members of the grain transport team. As long as they make a move, I can find them by following the marks, so I definitely won't miss them!"

"Oh, I see. That puts my mind at ease! Oh, right! Brother Sordil, my oxygen tank is almost empty. Could you refill it for me?"

"Okay!"

After speaking, Sordil took out a transparent sphere from his storage space and then merged the sphere into the 'fish tank' above Igneel's head.

"Ah! That feels much better!"

Just as Igneel finished his remark, Sordil hurriedly stood up and said to him, "Brother Igneel, go and tell everyone to get ready, our guest has arrived!"
