"Understood, my lord."
After speaking, Duan led the other Polar People back to work.
Not long after the knights left,
another enormous shadow appeared in the sky above the territory.
The shadow descended toward the territory at incredible speed!

This meant Assam had completed his mission and returned safely from Melinde City.
"Whoosh—whoosh—"
Old King flapped its massive wings, stirring up fierce gusts before landing steadily.

Cao Xing smiled. "It's fine. You came back at just the right time."
"I was planning to lead people to attack that Undead Ancient Battlefield today. Now that you're back, you can come with us."

He spoke with a resolute gaze.
"I will use the blade in my hand to clear away every obstacle for you!"

"Oh, right, my lord. These are the things you asked me to bring back."
