Chapter 203: Forceful Intrusion into the Camp

~7 min read 1,229 words

Ge Lei Luo descended from Mount Milu without hiding his trail, and the patrolling soldiers in the camp quickly spotted the stranger approaching the camp in the night.

Stop!

Four knights at the camp gate drew their sharp, pale long swords, reflecting the cold moonlight, and their eyes showed no emotion as they stared indifferently at the native before them.

Ge Lei Luo told them his purpose: "I was sent by General Duzula; I have business to discuss with your general."

Heh.

The knights exchanged glances, sneered a few times, and the most burly man looked at him disdainfully and said, "Are the natives all gone, sending a brat like you to make contact, our general?"

He thought of the old man lying in the camp, his face stiffened, and then he said coldly, "You can't just see him whenever you want!"

Ge Lei Luo's gaze hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "You people from the other continent keep saying you'll ally with us, yet now you cause this trouble—are you trying to back out?"

The mocking knight's face flushed with anger; he had always despised these backward natives, and now this lowly fellow dared to question him? It was an affront to heaven!

The other knights hesitated upon hearing Ge Lei Luo's words; the native's point was indeed reasonable, and since he was alone, even if he were a troublemaker, he couldn't cause much trouble, so they might as well let him in.

But before they could speak, the knight shouted angrily, "Take him down! How dare any creature be so brazen; even if you truly were sent by Duzula, you must kneel to see our general!"

The remaining knights shook their heads; they knew their captain's temperament, and it seemed unavoidable, but it didn't matter—he was just a native, and as long as they spared his life to deliver the message, it was fine.

Seeing the other side about to act, Ge Lei Luo's chest burned with fury; he inhaled deeply, stared coldly at them, and drew the long sword at his waist.

If that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite.

Ge Lei Luo let out a wild roar and, in a Berserk charge, rushed toward the four knights nearby, and within a breath he was already before the captain.

The knights raised their shields without hesitation. One knight shielded his torso with his shield and thrust his long sword mercilessly at Ge Lei Luo.

As elite of the Golden Legion, the iron weapons in these knights' hands were far harder than ordinary gear.

Ge Lei Luo flickered slightly, deftly evading the sharp blade. Then he stepped forward, delivering an accurate kick that struck the front‑left knight's thigh joint, the massive force instantly unbalancing the rider.

Splat!

A deft sword traced an arc in low air, and Ge Lei Luo bent and sliced the knight's tendon cleanly!

Ge Lei Luo did not pause, slashing forward like a whirlwind. His steps flickered, dodging the knights' side attacks, and with an easy leap he vaulted over the camp entrance; the soldiers on the watchtower saw the disturbance and, without hesitation, nocked their bows to fire.

The longbow's initial speed exceeded 60 meters per second, and within a breath hundreds of feathered arrows flew out.

Ge Lei Luo remained calm; the moment the longbow released, he had already sensed the assault, and his body nimbly evaded the rain of arrows, twisting like a sly cat and dodging every feathered arrow.

Then he sprinted at breakneck speed toward the camp's center; at that moment his mind was blank, thinking nothing, only one thought filled his heart.

He must deliver the message to the general of these other‑continent people, but he cannot disgrace the dignity of Duzula Shiliu Shi! He will never kneel to become a messenger!

He cared not about the possible outcome awaiting him; at that moment, the outer knights surged in after the alarm sounded, and he dodged the crowd and arrow rain, rapidly closing in on the camp's center.

He still recalled that terrifying battle beast; such a ferocious creature must have been tamed by the most prestigious among these other‑continent people, and that was the target he needed to find! "Damn! Stop them! Who is this person! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

The deputy leader of the vanguard glared at the slippery fellow like a mud loach and shouted, "A brat has broken into the camp where our army is stationed—this is a disgrace!"

Beyond the disgrace, fear tugged at his heart; he could not imagine how the irate giant dragon would punish them after being awakened by such a trivial matter!

And the one he feared had, in fact, already awakened.

Ge Lei Luo kept running, but as he ran he found the knights had halted their pursuit, and the arrow rain from the watchtower had also ceased at an unknown moment; they simply stared silently behind him, saying nothing.

"What a splendid performance, truly a rare talent."

A whisper like smoke rose behind him; Ge Lei Luo turned and saw a pair of towering violet eyes silently watching him.

"Tell me, native, why did you risk your life to break in?"

Only then did Ge Lei Luo realize the previous words had come from the massive creature before him; he stared at its head the size of a small hill, cold sweat dripping down his back.

That despair‑inducing majesty now displayed itself before him without reservation.

Ge Lei Luo swallowed, then recounted his ordeal and purpose.

"I, by order of Duzula Shiliu Shi, have come to rendezvous with the people of the other continent, but your soldiers block me, refuse entry, and insult me. If the other continent lacks sincere cooperation, we can halt all plans, but I will never allow General Duzula's prestige to be insulted!"

!

Ge Lei Luo started stammering, but as he continued his voice grew steadier, and he stared into the giant dragon's eyes with blazing fury.

Naimi Xisi watched him with keen interest, admiration in his heart.

This boy, who seemed no older than sixteen, possessed Physical Quality comparable to a level‑10 Warrior, and also had an extremely strong combat intuition; among nearly ten thousand soldiers in the camp, not a single one could stop him from reaching him.

A born Sword Saint.

The giant dragon let out a booming laugh, then spoke in a deep, rough, mysterious voice, "Do you know, most creatures, the moment they see me, fall to their knees trembling with fear, yet you dare to stare straight at me."

"You are very brave, Niksalan."

Ge Lei Luo looked at the giant dragon bewildered, not understanding why his reckless behavior seemed to amuse the other side.

"Deputy leader," the giant dragon's expression changed, and it called out loudly.

The deputy leader immediately approached trembling, his face guilty as he lowered his head, having heard everything the boy said, and now he only wanted to have those idiots executed at once!

"I'm curious, deputy leader."

Naimi Xisi looked at him and said coldly, "Is the mission unclear? Why is the liaison sent by the alliance being obstructed? Do you not want me to complete the task?"

The deputy leader immediately knelt shakily and shouted, "No, sir, how could that be? It wasn't my order; those idiots acted on their own!"
