Just a few minutes ago, the Central Starskiff Haven
Directly opposite the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse, after Yunli left, Ye Yan was lounging on a recliner, leisurely sipping milk tea.
Then, the Ecliptic Inner Wolf and the Shadowclaw ignored the defenses and were thrown into the milk tea shop.
Ye Yan didn't need to guess to know who had thrown these two wolf cubs at him.
" Aha! Friend, don't blame Aha, isn't this just the kind of physique that protagonists often have in novels!"
The Fool's Mask suddenly appeared before him, "Returning to familiar ground, how can we not have some excitement!"
" Aha has a feeling that this Wardance they're holding this time will be very exciting!"
" The Wardance doesn't officially start for several weeks... What, are you going to participate?"
"Oh~" The mask emitted a soft, ambiguous hum. "Friend, you really understand, Aha? But the one who's going to participate definitely isn't Aha!"
"I think I know who it is that made his Masked Fools participate in the [ Wardance ]."
Returning to the present, March 7th looked at the charred remains of Borisin scattered on the ground, then turned to Ye Yan.
"So... these are actually Teacher Ye Yan's masterpieces?"
Xing swallowed hard, inhaling the aroma of roasting food wafting through the air.
"A few wolf soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape, nearly causing trouble at the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse."
"Huh? No way, it's that serious?!"
Yanqing watched Yunli leap away in a few quick movements, hesitant to speak.
Not long ago, Yanqing was fighting a Borisin soldier when the fellow was so agile that he tried to escape by flying over the wall.
He summoned his flying sword to stop her, but unexpectedly a barefoot girl descended from the sky, using her conjured ice sword to leap across rooftops and walls. Wielding a heavy sword larger than herself, she delivered a divine blow to the Borisin soldier, rendering him unable to rise again.
But... this girl's hands were too fast; she took his sword without saying a word.
Don't worry, I'll go get it back for you.
Ye Yan snapped his fingers and disappeared from Yanqing's sight, arriving at Palace of Astrum ahead of them.
"Let's get down to business first. Who's in charge of this team? I need an explanation."
Yanqing found the leader of the Cloud Knights and asked him about the situation.
"It's my fault... I'm sorry, we were negligent in our duties, it's all my responsibility."
"Come on, tell me. The Wardance is about to begin, and everything in Luofu is focused on safety and stability. Why are there prisoners Borisin in the Starskiff Haven?"
"According to procedure, dangerous criminals should be detained on the Starskiff and transported to the Prison of Deep Seclusion without ever leaving their homes. Who allowed the ship transporting the prisoners to dock at the passenger terminal?!"
"No wonder the captain is so enthusiastic; this Zhuming Ming envoy's ship is just too eager," said the ' Foxian ' Cloud Knights beside him.
And who are you?
"I am Lujun, the duty officer of the patrol team. Many Yanqing Guard Yanqing for his assistance. The matter arose suddenly, and it was by no means the captain's fault."
"The company's transport ship, transiting through Luofu, was attacked by the Borisin just before its arrival. Zhuming's envoy ship came to the rescue, defeating the Borisin bandits and taking them into custody in the ship's hold."
Lujun explained to Yanqing that Xing and his group were listening from behind.
"Hiss~ Xing, although I know judging people by their appearance is unfriendly, he doesn't seem like a good person to me..." March 7th whispered in Xing's ear.
"Maybe it's because... he wasn't wearing a helmet?"
Xing speculated that it did look a bit awkward for the Cloud Knights not to wear helmets; perhaps it was because they were afraid of pressing on their ears?
"In the cosmic realm where Luofu sails, the company's ships were robbed by the Borisin, and Zhuming's envoys rescued them? This case sounds really complicated..."
Yanqing frowned slightly; this simple sentence had implicated four factions.
"I am also completely baffled. Zhuming's envoy ship, according to regulations, docked at the passenger ship dock to transfer these prisoners to Luofu."
"As you know, countless foreign visitors have been flocking to Luofu these days, putting immense pressure on the Starskiff shipping route."
"Before the escorting Starskiff and traffic control arrived, the Borisin Bu Liren acted desperately. That's why you just witnessed what happened."
"We will send these prisoners to the Prison of Deep Seclusion as soon as possible," the Cloud Knights captain echoed.
The Cloud Knights calmed the crowd and then dispersed, restoring peace to the Starskiff Haven Street once again.
" Yanqing, you're really starting to look like a grown-up."
" Miss March 7th, please stop teasing me. The safety of the Xianzhou before the Wardance is like a taut string; it may seem calm, but even the slightest tug will cause ripples and unrest."
"Those guys we just dealt with... uh, who exactly are they?"
Xing quickly answered, "I know, it's a kobold!"
"These wolf-headed monsters are called Borisin, and they are Abominations of Abundance that have long been enemies of the Xianzhou."
"For a long time, the Borisin been a powerful force, bloodily plundering and enslaving numerous worlds. Their scourge is no less devastating than the Universal Swarm Disaster. Thirty years ago, the Alliance even fought a great battle against them."
"Over the years, their activities have become less rampant than before. Who would have thought...?"
Yanqing looked at the still-uncleaned corpses of the wolf soldiers, a trace of sorrow in her eyes.
Luofu had finally had a period of peace, so why Borisin to cause trouble again? Could it be the work of that [ Lord Ravager ] Phantylia again?
"According to what that military attaché just said, they attacked the company's ships in the space region near Luofu? Such a blatant attack is truly strange."
"I also find it strange. It seems the company has a deep-seated grudge against them."
"Enough of the pleasantries, let's get down to business. The Yanqing wants me to escort you all to the Palace of Astrum. I wanted to chat with you a little longer, but alas, some things just keep me on my mind..."
"[Still worried?]" March 7th scratched his head. "Could it be that they need our help in capturing Borisin?"
"No need, no need, it's just a small matter."
Yanqing waved his hands repeatedly, declining March 7th's offer. If he couldn't even handle a small matter like Borisin's turmoil, where would Luofu and the General's face be?
But right now, more than the troublemaking Borisin, Yanqing is more concerned about...
"That... that girl who just appeared... snatched my sword, and my teacher went after her too. I'm planning to report it as a lost item at the Earth-Balance Commission to see if I can get it back..."
"Hahaha~ She probably didn't do it on purpose! And it seems like Teacher Ye Yan knows her! There's a saying: 'A friend of a friend is a friend!'"
Should we call the police if there's an accident involving Cloud Knights )?
Yanqing clasped her hands together and looked at Xing with sincere eyes. "Please stop talking, it was Yanqing's oversight."
Dan Heng comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, girls with such skills are rare; it shouldn't be that hard to find one."
"That's right... Let's hurry, we shouldn't keep the general waiting."
