Chapter 856

【This hunt has finally wrapped up successfully; the Cloud Knights are handling the aftermath and withdrawing.】

【Hearing Yanqing, Xiaowei, can your body still hold up?】

General Feixiao walked up to the three of them,

asking with concern toward the weakened Hearing Yanqing.

【... General, you actually didn't tell me the plan on the Jingfeng Ship!】

Hearing Yanqing, who had been kept completely in the dark the whole time,

now looked at General Feixiao with a somewhat resentful gaze.

【Don't blame me — this was your General's idea.】

【When he learned you gave up defending the ring and joined my wolf-hunting team, he made me keep it from you.】

【Probably afraid your impatient temperament would ruin things.】

【Look — going round and round, haven't you ended up right back here?】

【Never expected that, for the first time in my life, I'd be late to the battlefield.】

【No, perhaps I should say the swords of you youngsters were just a touch too fast.】

【I had thought the best outcome would be that you lot could join forces to hold off this fierce beast and keep yourselves safe.】

【But... you defeated Hulei together — truly, the young are formidable.】

【Come now — to avoid complications overnight, it's time to imprison Hulei once more.】
