Nathan and Selena followed the instruction of the Dragon King and followed the Blue River.
This was the first time they actually went to a battlefield, and while it wasn’t on the border, it was much closer compared to the Tevlan Forest.
And the situation was much more chaotic than they ever imagined.
“Doctor. We need treatments!”
“Help!”
“We need some help. This guy is dying!”
A lot of soldiers and mercenaries were going back and forth, carrying injured people on the stretchers. One person had their entire arm gone as though it had been eaten, another person had a big hole in their body, and another one had their ear and a small portion of his head destroyed.
It was at this moment that certain information clicked in their mind. The summoners were so rare that out of a thousand people, only one of them was a summoner.
They had been so occupied with the academy that they forgot about that fact.
In this camp that seemed to have a thousand people, the most they had were probably several summoners. And that was because the Dragon King’s group had taken over the camp.
Even then, the casualties didn’t come only from the soldiers, but also from the normal mercenaries.
They were wearing armor and holding high-quality weapons, but it didn’t change the fact that their bodies couldn’t contain Ena, which was what they needed to fight an alien.
For the first time in their lives, they witnessed how chaotic and horrifying a battlefield could be.
“…” Selena furrowed her eyebrows as she couldn’t help but grab Nathan’s sleeve. The atmosphere was different compared to what she had endured so far.
Nathan didn’t hesitate to take this chance to grab her hand and lead the way.
There were a lot of tents erected in this camp. With a single glance, they could see the inside of a huge tent with tens of patients getting treated. Some were already crying as if they had lost their comrades, some managed to recover.
Nathan kept going even though he didn’t know where he should find the Dragon King’s daughter.
Nathan looked around, wondering if there was someone they could ask. Of course, Selena had recalled Risa and Sasha to avoid problems or unwarranted attention.
Eventually, they found a huge tent with multiple guards standing in front of them. There might be a commander of the army, so even if he couldn’t meet him, he could still ask for directions from the guard.
Nathan approached the tent, which caused the guards to point out their spears at him. “Who are you?”
Nathan pointed at his school uniform, specifically the badge on his chest.
“We are summoners from the Frexia Academy. I am Nathan and she is Selena Ashton.
“Under the instruction of sir Dragon King, we are looking for his mercenary group.” Nathan explained while taking out the badge that the Dragon King gave him. “Do you know where it is?”
“!!!” The guards widened their eyes in shock when they saw this badge. It had a pair of dragon wings attached to a crown. It was made from gold, which signified the status of the person.
“Please wait for a minute.” One of them hurriedly entered the tent and brought a bald, middle-middle aged man outside.
He was a thin man that seemed to have no strength to even lift a gallon of water, but they could feel that there was something otherworldly coming out of his body. “I am Mando from the Soaring Dragon Mercenary Squad. Are you the summoner that has the badge of the Dragon King?” freēwebnovel.com
“Yes.” Nathan showed the badge to him while thinking, ‘So this guy is Mando.’
Mando took the badge and started releasing his Ena. The badge suddenly emitted a golden glow, which was enough for Mando to confirm their identity.
He gave it back while saying, “I have received the guests of the Dragon King. May I know for what reason do you two come here?”
“The Dragon King asked us to join the mission. Of course, we’ll be following the instructions or plan you have for us.”
“Is it because of the miss?”
Nathan shook his head, hiding the agreement. “Not at all. The agreement is only between us and the Dragon King. It doesn’t involve anyone else.”
Mando nodded. “To be honest, there are already several groups of students roaming around here. All of them except for one group have gone. They are trying to recruit her, but you are probably the first one that manages to gain the favor of the Dragon King. Either way, if you need any help, just come to me.”
“Understood.” Nathan nodded.
“In that case, let me bring you inside.” Mando opened the tent, allowing them to enter.
There were several people standing behind the table while looking at the map inside the tent. They were arguing with one another before they stopped after Nathan and Selena entered.
Those on the sides were men and women who looked in their late twenties or early thirties. Meanwhile, the one who led the discussion was definitely the eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman on the opposite side.
She was wearing a blue tank top and shorts, exposing her abs and muscles. She gave off a similar fierceness as the Dragon King, but her eyes looked calm as if they were filled with wisdom instead of blazing desire.
She raised her head, staring at the two people coming from afar.
“Who are they?” She asked while furrowing her eyebrows.
Before Nathan showed the badge, he couldn’t help but get excited in his mind. ‘Damn. A muscular woman… They are truly giving a different type of charm. I bet she is pretty wild when fighting against her enemy. Wait a minute.
‘If the monkey king doesn’t look beast enough, won’t it work if the people in this world summon him? And who is a better candidate other than her? She is talented and she is the daughter of the Dragon King. Besides, she is giving off an aura that a fighter will have, which might be a perfect match with Sun Wukong.
‘Should I somehow befriend her and gradually influence her to summon Sun Wukong? I’m a simple man. I can see my idol, I’m happy. Also, I want an autograph!’
