A few minutes later, the squad leader jogged over, respectfully returned the identification to Levi, and led his men to make way.

"I apologize for my earlier offense. Please come in."

The young people in the car stared in disbelief, whispering questions to He Wei, who was equally astonished.

"Didn't you say the 11th Army had a very good style of conduct?"

Is this considered good?

Even the usually arrogant and domineering Third Army bowed and scraped before Levy. Everyone knew William Eric of the Third Army; Eric was a long-established nobleman in the safe zone.

Now they have to grit their teeth and give way to a newly emerging legion, which is completely shattering their understanding.

At the same time, they hesitated. What they wanted to join was a legion that would treat everyone equally and give them a chance to rise in the ranks, rather than a place that was more arrogant and domineering than the legions of the old nobles.

He Wei felt their gazes and twitched her lips uncomfortably.

How could she know that the Eleventh Army operated in this way? But seeing the Third Army like this made her feel somewhat triumphant.

She then replied softly, "Those nobles are arrogant, so of course we have to be even stronger than them so that the Eleventh Army can stand up in the Federation!"

Their conversation was overheard by the people in front of them. Even though Said and Al had barely covered their ears with their heads and used their military caps to shield them, they could hear everything clearly.

Said sighed, "I didn't expect her to be even more biased than us."

Alfoseny glanced at him and silently moved a little further away: "They can hear us."

Levi, chin in hand, arrogantly drove the spaceship into the open space in front of the abandoned building with one hand. Hearing this, he snorted and said, "What do you mean by 'standing up'? Fifty years ago, the Eleventh Army was just a bunch of arrogant young noblemen."

Especially their leader, He Shiyi, who was practically the ultimate example of a fussy, aristocratic young master.

He glanced at Gu Li, who had a serious expression, and sighed. It was just that time had smoothed out their rough edges, and everyone was happy to restrain themselves in front of their new king.

Gu Li disembarked from the spaceship, sniffed the air with her delicate, upturned nose, and then exchanged a glance with Levi beside her.

The smell of blood is so strong.

But neither the patrolling squads nor the Children of Light they brought remained unmoved.

Gu Li let Levi protect the others from behind, while she led the way with Said and Al, and Cecil and He Wei walked together.

The further they went, the more Gu Li wrinkled his nose. Everywhere he looked was covered with a thick layer of dust, and he couldn't see anything unusual.

Those of them with more acute senses slowed their pace.

"Judging from the smell, at least several dozen people have died here," Alfoseny said in a low voice.

To facilitate their reconnaissance, he and Said removed the hats that were covering their ears, and the two men, their furry ears pricked up, surveyed the surroundings with serious expressions.

Trying to find clues.

The Child of Light, who was initially somewhat apprehensive, stared blankly for a moment when he saw the two people with perked-up furry ears and serious, probing expressions.

He Wei's eyes widened: "Good heavens... after not seeing you for a while, you've even stopped being human?"

A man stood behind her, watching the trembling, large ears, and murmured, "If the Eleventh Army were all like this... slurp... this kind of mutation, I would be willing to lead the charge!"

Levi let out a cold laugh as he passed by her.

Gu Li stood in the center of the first floor, looking up at the empty, dark space above. This abandoned building only had an outer frame; there wasn't even a partition between each floor inside.

The space above grew increasingly dark, even somewhat eerie.

A chill crept up Gu Li's arms, and she told the others to stay put: "I'll go up and take a look."

Ever since entering this building, He Wei had inexplicably felt a chill run through her body. Upon hearing this, she quickly snapped back to reality and looked at Gu Li: "It's so dark up here, it's too dangerous..."

Before she could finish speaking, a sound of tearing fabric came from behind her. He Wei, holding the coat that Gu Li had thrown at her, watched as the huge silver wings unfolded in front of her and suddenly felt dizzy.

"...So...so beautiful."

It wasn't He Wei who spoke. She watched Gu Li gently flap its wings and fly upwards, and subconsciously responded with a sound of agreement.

"I feel a little dizzy without it."

He Wei: ?

She quickly looked away and saw the group of people behind her who looked dazed and confused. Then everything went black.

Levi: "They can't withstand the pollution she emits in an instant, they're going to be contaminated, and she won't even let them close their eyes."

He Wei, covered in sweat, did as instructed, and even emitted some starlight for each person to help them regain their senses as quickly as possible.

The building was exceptionally tall, and Gu Li's figure disappeared into the darkness in no time. For a moment, only the rapid breathing of He Wei and the others could be heard inside the building.

Cecil was more sensitive to the polluted smell than they were. She suddenly led the group away quickly, while Levi, finding it troublesome, simply used his tentacles to roll them up and throw them out.

The object that fell from the roof landed on the ground with a thud.

When Gu Li first flew up, it was still pitch black all around, but the higher it flew, the bigger the fluorescent light at the edge of its vision became.

By the time she realized something was wrong and tried to back away, it was too late.

It was an eye hidden in the depths of darkness, its pitch-black pupil reflecting Gu Li's figure. The inexplicable sense of familiarity made Gu Li want to go crazy.

Could this be the eyeball she dug out of the Red Bee?!

Why are you here?!

There was no time for her to think. The darkness in the film, so intense it almost overwhelmed her, made Gu Li nearly despair.

But that eye was getting closer and closer.

If Gu Li still hasn't figured out that he's been tricked, he's a real fool.

Red Bee is quick on the uptake; they probably dumped the stuff here as soon as she arrived in the Federation.

Gu Li summoned the bone whale almost instantly, and just as the bone whale was about to fall apart in terror, he heavily applied the maximum amount of gravity to its body.

Her hand scurried across the pendant, not even bothering to see what it was, before she grabbed it and hurled it at the eye.

The moment the enormous cross pierced through his eyeball, the restraints on Gu Li's body suddenly loosened, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Gu Li was only enveloped by that eyeball for a short while before she felt a large portion of the strength in her body being taken away, and she was then slammed to the ground with dozens of times the force of gravity.

He almost had his brains popped out.

She trembled as she got up, blood and foam constantly seeping from the corner of her lips, and slowly shuffled out of the deep crater that had been smashed open.

Her sky-blue eyes were fixed on the entrance, and she shouted sternly, "Don't come in!"

That eyeball took her power and was also injured by her; it probably won't attack again, but she can't gamble on it.

Gu Li didn't even have the strength to heal herself, so she could only slowly move outwards.

Cecil cried out in disbelief, "Miss Gu Li!"

She tried to rush in, but was blocked by a hand that reached out to block her. Levi gritted his teeth and blocked the others as well.

His eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage: "Don't go over there, there's still something up there."
