"Camille, get up!"

Camito, who was fast asleep, was suddenly kicked twice, which woke him up.

"who?"

"Duro!"

"You're back?"

Camito felt a surge of tension; Duro waking him up in the middle of the night was definitely not a good thing.

"Don't blame me for not taking care of you. If you work hard tonight, you'll enjoy endless riches and glory in the future!"

After Duro finished speaking, he threw a warhammer to Camito.

"What are they trying to do?"

"Just follow me, you'll see in a bit!"

Duro turned and walked out.

Camillo had already settled Lia in, so he had no more reservations and simply picked up his warhammer and chased after her.

"Block the city gates! Don't let a single orc out tonight!"

Duro led over a hundred men toward the city gate.

There's someone there!

The accompanying sandstone city soldiers saw a tall, thin figure standing at the city gate, whose glasses reflected the firelight from the passageway into the distance.

"It looks like Lord Lakins!"

One of the soldiers recognized the man standing at the city gate as Leggins.

"Legins? Hah, I didn't expect it to be you!"

Duro was smug, having long harbored jealousy of Leigh's lucrative job, and now he had finally found a way to get his hands on him.

"Someone come here!"

"exist!"

"Lykins betrayed the city lord by letting orcs into the city without permission. His crimes are heinous. Arrest him!"

The accompanying soldier hesitated for a moment, but immediately agreed and charged toward Leggins with his longsword.

Leaks, who was having a pleasant dream, was startled by the sudden arrival of Duro. He couldn't understand why Duro would bring a group of soldiers here.

However, upon seeing the group of soldiers charging towards him with long swords, he immediately realized what was happening and turned to run eastward.

Just as the soldiers were about to give chase, Duro suddenly called out to them.

"No need to chase him. Since he has chosen to return to the city, we can ignore him for now. Our duty today is to guard the city gates!"

Duro understood the priorities; guarding the city gates was the most important thing.

"Duro, I'll go after him. We need to at least find out where he went."

It was Camito who spoke. He hadn't expected Leigh to become someone who was being hunted down, and he immediately became worried about Leah, Carter, and the others in the tobacco field.

"That's right, then go ahead!"

Duro was very satisfied with Camito's proactive work style.

Having obtained Duro's consent, Camillo immediately picked up his warhammer and chased after him eastward.

Earlier in the tobacco field.

"Joey, something seems to have happened in the city!"

The bearded man stood next to Joey, his eyes fixed on the firelight outside the tobacco field.

"Captain, should we go out and take a look?"

Sergeant Medes was also drawn to the sudden situation outside and ran to Joey's side. Joey was now clearly the leader of these people.

Why did they have to choose this time?

Joey muttered to himself, sounding somewhat dissatisfied with the unexpected situation outside.

"Let's wait and see. Don't make any moves for now. Sandstone City has been peaceful for too long. Some people will want a piece of the pie!"

The situation is unclear now, and we still need to lead the Draenei on a journey, so it's best to wait and see.

"Joey, I think what's going on outside is related to Camito's last visit!"

Carter then walked over.

"There should be some connection, but things are probably in a lot of chaos outside right now, so let's not get involved!"

After Joey finished speaking, he told Sergeant Medes to keep an eye on the situation outside, and then he went inside.

“Catherine!”

"My Lady Catherine!"

I called out to the cabin twice, and Catherine slowly walked out of it.

"Has something happened outside?"

Catherine had already noticed the situation outside, but Joey had told her to stay home as much as possible to avoid any unforeseen complications.

"Yes, something has indeed happened, but we should just sit back and watch the show, and not get involved!"

"Does this concern me?"

Catherine has come to fully accept her status as a jinx, and she blames herself for any bad things that happen around her.

"No, no, no, it's probably an internal conflict in Sandstone City!"

Although Joey thought that tonight's events were somewhat related to Catherine, he didn't voice his true thoughts. He knew that doing so would only make Catherine feel more guilty and wouldn't help her in any other way.

"Really?"

Catherine thought Joey was just trying to comfort her, and asked another question out of suspicion.

"Really, why would I lie to you? I wouldn't lie to my Catherine!"

After Joey finished speaking, he leaned in and kissed her.

"Get away!"

Catherine's initial negative mood immediately turned into anger, and she reached out her right hand to push Joey's head away.

"Give me a small reward!"

Joey looked so pitiful that Catherine burst out laughing again.

"Then close your eyes!"

"Catherine said shyly."

"Okay, okay!"

Seeing that Catherine's tone had softened, Joey immediately agreed excitedly.

He closed his eyes.

A familiar fragrance drew closer; it was Catherine's unique scent.

"They're here! They're here! It's like the clouds have parted and the moon is shining after all!"

Joey was secretly delighted, eagerly anticipating the kiss.

He pouted, his face full of anticipation.

"Huh?"

"Did you kiss the wrong spot?"

Joey suddenly opened his eyes, only to see Catherine's figure already leaving.

"This is all we have!"

"How can you kiss on the forehead? You have to kiss on the lips, on the lips!"

After Joey finished speaking, she continued to pout her lips high.

"Hmph, dream on!"

Catherine walked away.

"Sigh, I'll endure it!"

"I'm practically a Ninja Turtle now!"

Joey grumbled and then pushed the door open and went out.

"Meow!"

Xiao Hei suddenly darted out from the corner.

Without waiting for Joey to react, she jumped onto his shoulder.

"Little Black, aren't you sleepy anymore? I thought you were going to hibernate!"

Joey glanced at Blackie, clearly smitten with the little guy. Aside from a brief moment of infatuation when Vivian appeared, Blackie had remained loyal and helpful to her.

"Meow!"

Blackie barked once, as if in response to Joey's words.

"We won't be staying here long, we'll find you a new place later!"

Joey reached out and patted Blackie's head, smiling as he spoke.

"Joey, something terrible has happened!"

Suddenly, the bearded man outside shouted loudly.

Joey's smile vanished instantly, and he quickened his pace as he walked outside.
