"Did he really say that?"
On the other side, Luke and the others, who had been anxiously waiting in the hall, asked excitedly.
David hurriedly nodded. "That's what he said!"
"Good, good!" Luke exchanged a glance with several generals, then hurriedly said to Bondi, "Old friend, you'd better keep a close eye on that orc of yours!"
David looked at Duke Luke's expression and sighed inwardly. To be honest, he didn't agree with everyone placing all their hopes on an orc of unknown origins. But he could understand them. They really had nowhere else to turn now...
Under normal circumstances, Luke's army had never intended to remain in Kate City for long. Kate City was simply too small, and supporting an army of a hundred thousand was clearly unrealistic.
Their original plan had been to head for a larger city in the south, such as Sko City or Bit City. Those great cities had abundant granaries and countless farms, making them well-suited to replace Blue Dragon City as their next defensive stronghold.
Naturally, such a major migration could not be carried out carelessly. Before setting out, the army had dispatched the few Griffon Knight units it had left to scout ahead.
The Griffon Knights who had gone out to gather intelligence the day before had all returned safely, but the news they brought back was chilling. Both Sko City and Bit City had already become dead cities. Rotting corpses lay everywhere, with not a single living thing in sight. More importantly, all the land seemed to have been infected.
