Chapter 471 Stop... Don't shoot
"My son and I were hoping to run into you..."
Upon hearing Heatherine's words and looking at the little boy staring at her with wide, curious eyes, Qin Mo felt a sudden pang in her heart, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Let Daddy hug me..."
Little Harry probably felt a sense of familiarity with Qin Mo's scent, and obediently reached out to let him hug him.
However, Qin Mo was wearing hard armor, which was very uncomfortable. In addition, no matter how much the little guy writhed in Qin Mo's arms, he couldn't find the warm rice bowl. Finally, his little mouth twitched and he cried out "waaaah".
Qin Mo tried to soothe the little one for a long time but couldn't stop crying, so she had no choice but to hurriedly return the child to Heather.
“It’s not that he doesn’t like you… it’s just that you’ve been with me since you were little and have never been in contact with anyone else… besides, your armor is too tough…”
While comforting the child, Heather looked at Qin Mo's eyes. When she saw that Qin Mo's eyes were full of embarrassment and heartache, without a trace of disgust or indifference, she felt a warmth in her heart, and the hardships of traveling thousands of miles through wind and sand vanished.
"Oh! I'll try it on without my armor!"
Qin Mo quickly took off her armor and picked up little Harry. The little guy twisted and struggled a few times, but when he realized that his mother was always by his side, he reluctantly stayed in Qin Mo's arms.
"You and the child wait here for a while, I'll go and stop them..."
Why should we stop them?
“…I just arrived here a few days ago and didn’t know they were impersonating people from Great Xia. I was about to stop them when I noticed movement coming from your spot…”
"Oh! Never mind, you can go out and stop them when they're about to skin and pierce them! These orcs really deserve to die..."
Qin Mo had been following this orc army for two days and was furious at their contemptuous attitude towards humans. Now that someone else was doing the work of killing them, Qin Mo didn't object.
"They actually skinned orcs and impaled them on wooden poles! My God! What has Page done?"
"...You don't know anything?"
Qin Mo pulled Heather to sit down with him, and casually put his arm around her slender waist. The two began to talk in detail.
Heather, carrying what Sophie had given her, rushed to Lan City of the Yuezhi. In the city, she found the secret contact point of the temple and learned that Elder Page had already gone to Kangju territory.
Heatherine followed the trail left by the temple to Kangju territory, where she finally met Paige and his Order of the Holy Tribunal.
After reading Elder Ashif's letter, Paige was about to head to the capital of the Great Xia Empire. However, the Knights of Judgment still had to carry out the mission of the Temple, so Paige asked Heather to stay here and look after them for a few days. After all, without the support of a super-level expert, they would not have much confidence fighting in this place where the forces were so complex.
"Today's battle plan was decided by Page and the others long ago. I was unaware of it beforehand. I was just keeping an eye on them and preventing any potential Saint-level experts from appearing."
"I really didn't expect... that they would resort to such despicable means..."
"Heather, what kind of difficulties have the Temple encountered that necessitates using such methods to weaken the orcish forces?"
“I’ve been staying with my son in Madeira lately and haven’t been to the Temple Mount, but the situation in Persia is indeed very tense right now. All the knightly orders have been mobilized, and I heard that the Temple has already twice levied military expenses on the noble lords…”
Qin Mo nodded, gaining some understanding of the situation of the Western Continent Temple. It seemed that the Temple was really struggling this time, and had even resorted to the desperate measure of allocating military expenses.
"You said you came to deliver something, what is so important that it requires a super-level expert like you to deliver it?"
Heather shook her head and said, "I don't know what it is. There's a special magic circle on that box, and only a designated person can open it."
"Oh! Never mind, let's not think about other people's business. You're not in a hurry to go back this time, are you? Let's have a good family reunion for a while... okay?"
Heatherine blushed slightly and said softly, "Actually, this task was originally Sophie's. She asked me if I wanted to do it, so..."
Qin Mo immediately understood—this was a "long-distance reunion with a lover!" He leaned close to Heather's ear and said, "I have some questions about cultivation... I need your guidance..."
Heatherine's already slightly flushed face turned bright red. She turned and glared at Qin Mo with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance, but to Qin Mo, it was a unique and refreshing sight.
"The battle is over. It looks like Volker and his men are really going to skin them alive. I have to go stop these guys..."
Looking into Qin Mo's pure and innocent eyes, Hazelen had no choice but to make an excuse to leave, her heart already pounding uncontrollably.
She had just stood up when she suddenly turned to look at the distant darkness, her expression turning serious.
"What's wrong, Heatherine?"
"Someone's coming, and he's a powerful one!"
"Don't move yet, let's assess the situation first!"
Qin Mo pulled Heather back. He knew that the "strong person" Heather mentioned must be a cultivator at the Saint level or above. The situation was unclear, and both of them had special ways of concealing their auras, so observing from the shadows was the best course of action.
The people arrived very quickly, and a sky full of starlight suddenly appeared in the night, enveloping all the Templar Knights who were preparing to skin the orc corpses.
The knights of judgment from the temple were cleaning up the battlefield, preparing to skin the orc corpses while they were still hot, when suddenly they noticed that the pitch-black night around them had changed. Starlight of all sizes was dancing and swirling around them, and wisps of killing intent seeped into their skin with the starlight, making their hearts tremble with fear and their bodies grow cold.
