"A new woman?!" The people walking in front immediately perked up their ears.
Sure enough! There's no way such a pure heart could exist beneath that appearance!!
Wang Xuefeng grabbed Huo Lei's wrist and arm, slowly bent them back, and let him pat his chest.
"Don't be nervous, let me introduce you, this is my wife—"
"You motherfucker?! I'm asking you..."
"Xiao He".
"?"
Horry paused as he raised his hand again, turning his gaze back to the "mysterious girl".
Her smile was playful yet warm, her long, flowing blonde hair cascading down her back, the headband of her light blue dress fluttering in the wind…
"Are you kidding me? This is Xiao He?" Hori didn't believe it.
In the past, Xiao He was quite bold in his words and deeds. He would walk with his toes pointing outwards if he wasn't careful, and he would even put his hands in his pockets when standing.
The girl in front of me... at least looks like a normal girl.
While her expression and demeanor weren't particularly sexy or elegant, they weren't so jarring as to raise suspicion.
"Is your QQ pet male or female?" Horry asked expressionlessly.
"GG".
"Who did you lay the egg with? Who did you give the egg to? Did the egg hatch into a male or a female?"
"Snowball, you're done for."
"ah--"
Huo Lei was suddenly shocked. He instinctively wanted to hug her, but he stopped after taking a step forward. After a while, he turned to Wang Xuefeng and hugged him tightly.
"Hey? If you're going to hug me, then please don't push my head onto your shoulder," Wang Xuefeng said expressionlessly.
"Oh, I accidentally mistook you for Xiao He." Horry calmly released him.
Because of this delay, the three of them fell behind the main group, and naturally no one heard what they said afterward.
[Note: You have become friends with Huo Leiting!]
Xiao He silently changed his chat nickname to "Huo Lei" and then casually sent a team invitation.
[Hint: Horton has joined the team!]
"Oh? Level 80? How much experience do you have?"
Upon hearing this, Horley was immediately certain that this guy was indeed Xiao He himself, no doubt about it.
"It's less than 10% away."
Xiao He smiled wickedly: "Easy! I'll lead you up there today!"
"No? Is it a bug in my system? What's wrong with this panel?" Horry realized something was wrong.
"This is how my panel is, no bugs." Xiao He gave a second wicked smile.
Wang Xuefeng, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly: "Let's go, I'll tell you as we walk."
...
"Damn." Horry fell into deep thought after hearing the whole story.
As he sorted out his thoughts, the main force finally entered the inner city.
Yanluo Military City is divided into an inner city and an outer city.
The inner city is similar to a residential area, with many ordinary women and children.
Aside from its somewhat rough art style, there's nothing particularly special about this place, and it's certainly not a military stronghold.
Because putting things that "incite conflict" together with ordinary people is harmful in every way.
Lucadi didn't understand why General Ho had brought them to this place. It seemed like he wanted to give them a welcome feast, and he had even dismissed the other people who were there to greet them.
General Huo, whose real name was Huo Pingyang, was the supreme commander of the Huo family army. He had more than ten lieutenant generals and nearly a hundred major generals under his command, all of whom were ranked by star.
Take Horry, for example. He was hailed as the "First Major General" and held a perfect 10-star rank. To be promoted to lieutenant general, one only needed to command troops for five years to be automatically promoted.
"It's said that a breakfast banquet has been prepared for you, but as for why it's in the inner city, I'm not quite sure," Huo Lei said in response to Xiao He's question.
Wang Xuefeng was equally baffled, but since Lucadi in front of them hadn't made a statement, they just needed to follow the group.
Xiao He looked around and found that the houses here were all made of earthen yellow bricks, without any colorful decorations.
The support legion marched in along the central avenue, flanked by rows of houses, as neat as soldiers in formation.
Many children stared at them with their innocent, wide eyes.
Although they were all dressed differently, they all wore triangular shawls with the number "11" draped over their shoulders.
Even children who are used to seeing uniform military officers can tell that they come from the same place.
"What does 11 mean?" one child asked another older child.
"I don't know what the numbers mean, but I know this pattern with numbers circled around it."
"What is it?" The children all crowded around.
“It’s the Nuojin Advanced Magic Academy,” the older child replied.
Upon hearing this, many children exclaimed in surprise, their eyes immediately lighting up.
Since Xiao He and Wang Xuefeng belonged to a special operations group, they were granted the privilege of not having to stay with the group at all times. So the two split up, with Xiao He staying with the main group and Wang Xuefeng temporarily leaving the group accompanied by Huo Lei.
Silently watching Xiao He's departing figure, Huo Lei's emotions surged once more...
Why didn't any of you tell me?!
"Hehe, I'm afraid you might get too excited and get swallowed whole by a monster if you're not careful," Wang Xuefeng laughed.
"Get lost! You're just teasing me on purpose!"
Horry said angrily, "Damn it... no way, I'm not telling them either! I want to see their reactions too! Humph! I can't be the only one to lose face!"
Wang Xuefeng shook his head: "Let's go, show me around."
"Hmph, free tour guide." Horry curled his lip and took the lead to walk down a side path.
"Do you have a map?" This was Wang Xuefeng's first request.
"Yes, I have the most detailed information I could get, including the underground parts. I've sent it to you." Horry finished speaking before his actions were swift and decisive.
“Okay.” Wang Xuefeng immediately began to analyze: “By the way, has anything unusual happened here recently?”
"It depends on what aspect you're referring to," Horry replied. "The situation is already common knowledge. After this morning banquet, your men will have to set off immediately to meet up with our people in various cities."
"Casualties?"
"It's not looking good." Horry frowned slightly. "The intensity of the battle is too great, and the duration is too long. We can't keep up with the endurance at all. This time, we need a lot of forbidden spell priests, mainly to save a large number of seriously injured and dying warriors. These are tasks that high-level priests can't handle."
"Is it like this in every city? It's incredibly devastating?" Wang Xuefeng confirmed one last time.
Horry nodded: "It's like that, quite tragic."
Wang Xuefeng remained silent for a long time before changing the subject: "What about Yanluo Military City? Has anything changed here?"
"I really can't tell," Horry said honestly.
He wasn't the kind of person who was good at observing things, and even if the atmosphere really changed, he didn't think he would be able to sense it.
"Then let's find some people to talk to," Wang Xuefeng said.
Upon hearing this, Horry scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
"What's wrong?" Wang Xuefeng asked.
"With me here, I'm afraid no one would dare to talk to you..." Horry blushed.
