The scout was caught by the Wyvern. He was covered in wounds, and blood was still gushing from his severed arm. He looked quite miserable, and blood splattered in the air.

"Damn it, bro, don't die! I need to use you to claim my reward!"

"Noodles, go full speed ahead!"

Steamed Bun suddenly panicked and lost his previous Yun Danfengqing demeanor.

However, the dying scout grinned and said in a sinister tone, "Evil Dragon Claws, I will absolutely not let your conspiracy succeed!"

"For the Bosque Duchy!"

"For Grand Duke Leo!"

"For the glory of the the North!"

The scout shouted desperately, his voice hoarse.

Even Steamed Bun was frightened by the seemingly deranged scout and quickly tried to dissuade him, saying, "Damn it, brother, don't be impulsive! Life is so beautiful! It's not worth sacrificing your life for a backward feudal regime. Don't you know this is just their brainwashing tactic—"

He was terrified that the credit he had just earned would be lost.

"Oh."

However, the scout did not give Steamed Bun a chance to talk back. Without hesitation, he bit open the poison sac that he had prepared in his mouth and swallowed the deadly, viscous venom.

Blackish-red blood gushed from his mouth, his body quickly turned pale, and his head drooped limply.

He died just like that.

"Huh?"

The Noodles cried out in confusion, shaking the still-warm corpse with its paws. Its simple mind simply couldn't understand why anyone would willingly seek death.

The Steamed Bun, on the other hand, was speechless with despair.

"My Gold Coin and contribution points—"

"Sigh, whatever, let's just send it to Nocturne. At least it'll count as annihilating the enemy."

Steamed Bun sighed again and gently patted the Wyvern's neck.

He arrived at Nocturne's headquarters at Lachmann Castle and handed over the scout's mutilated body; now he could only receive a meager reward for killing the enemy.

Although there was a reward of three Gold Coin, compared to the generous reward for capturing the spy alive, the difference between the two made Steamed Bun feel extremely disappointed, and he almost cried when he received the rewards.

"Failure is a constant throughout life."

"My Gold Coin and contributions will never return with the passing of my life."

Steamed Bun sat on the back of the Wyvern and said in a deliberately profound tone.

Just then, his system panel issued a notification; he had received a message from Singo.

Singo: Red Scale Garrison, come quickly.

I'm Going to Eat Mantou: OK. The current garrison is twenty meters high and can be considered a landmark building in the city. It looks even more out of place in this era. There are several knight statues riding Wyvern at the entrance. In the center is a huge bust of Keosius. The gate is engraved with the emblem that belongs to the Embers of the Burned Kingdom - Golden Vertical Pupils surrounded by flames.

Hundreds of Wyvern are perched on the top of the building, and many workers are busy on it.

After years of careful training by Alger, the kingdom now has thirty-seven native Red Scale Conqueror. With the addition of new players, there are now nearly a hundred Wyvern Knight, a number that is almost larger than the original North Wind Eagle Guard, and their combat strength is far greater.

"This place is still quite luxurious."

"It's just that the smell of Wyvern droppings is too strong."

Steamed Bun left the Noodles by the door and walked into the hall alone.

He found Singo comfortably sitting on a leather sofa in a private office.

This guy is doing very well lately. He became the leader of the Third Regiment of the Red Scale Conqueror, managing more than thirty Wyvern Knight under his command, and receiving a large amount of Gold Coin and contribution points every day.

This made Steamed Bun extremely envious, and he often regretted not staying at the garrison for further studies.

Singo picked up the wine glass on the table and gently swirled it.

"Long time no see, Steamed Bun."

"Spit it out. I'm busy right now, stop showing off. You just want to show me your luxurious treatment, don't you?"

"Steamed Bun said patiently."

Soon, Born Battle Maniac and Xia Ye Qiuyu Yu also arrived here.

The "Black Slave Four-Person Group," who were famous during the Internal Beta beta, finally reunited for the first time during the open beta.

The Born Battle Maniac touched his bald head and subconsciously looked around. "This place is really nice."

Xia Ye Qiuyu's face was covered in charred marks, as if he had just been pulled out of a coal mine.

She recently co-founded the "Five Fireball Divine Sect" guild with several friends, focusing on the research and application of Fireball. This has attracted a large number of enthusiasts who love the explosive Fireball, and she has now completely abandoned her public image.

Once everyone had arrived, Singo spoke up, "You've probably noticed recently that there are quite a few spies from the the North in North Wind Fortress, and Bosque's scout knights have been appearing frequently on the border."

"I just caught one, but unfortunately he committed suicide."

A bitter smile immediately appeared on Steamed Bun's face. He felt extremely regretful when he thought about the Gold Coin that had slipped through his fingers.

The Born Battle Maniac chuckled, "I caught one recently too, but I didn't control my strength well and killed him with one punch."

"."

Xia Ye Qiuyu shook his head wearily. "I was experimenting with the Fireball and didn't pay much attention to these things."

However, when she mentioned the word "fireball," her eyes lit up with excitement, as if flames were burning in her pupils, which startled Steamed Bun so much that he subconsciously took a few steps back.

Singo nodded slightly and said, "That's right."

"The big one is coming."

Steamed Bun immediately guessed what Single was thinking, "You mean—war? War against the Bosque Duchy?"

Singo crossed her arms and gently rested them against her chin.

"It's not just the Bosque Duchy."

"According to the intelligence I have obtained, Grand Duke Leo is the nominal leader of the Northern United Kingdom and has the honorary title of ' Northern Monarch ' after the Lionheart Alliance. The Bosque Duchy is also the largest country in the the North. Once the Kingdom goes to war with the Bosque Duchy, it will be almost equivalent to declaring war on the entire the North."

"Moreover, the situation is far from over. Although the Anzeta Great Wasteland is a remote and isolated place, once a war of this scale breaks out, the Southern Fadlan Empire, the Harpers that spans the continent, and the Free Trade Confederation of Silver Moon Bay, among others, may all get involved, and the situation will become more chaotic than ever before."

After Steamed Bun for a long time, Mantou finally uttered a few words: "Is it that awesome?"

"What if the kingdom loses? We're already trapped."

Singo shook his head and laughed, "Don't worry, it's impossible to fail."

"While the forces in the south are indeed powerful, their base of operations is not in Anzeta, and their support for the the North is extremely limited. According to my investigation, the overall strength of the kingdom has already widened the gap with the countries in the the North. Whether in politics, economy, or military, it has an overwhelming advantage, not to mention that Embers of the Burned King."

Finally, he stated his conclusion.

"Unless the authorities pull some terrible deus ex machina, we cannot possibly fail, and the kingdom will inevitably unify the Anzeta Great Wasteland."

War on England, war on France, war on United States of America!
