Chapter 3049: Really Can’t Leave (1)

“According to military regulations, since you came to the campsite to ask for protection, then you will automatically be enlisted as a solder in our base under This Divine Lieutenant’s jurisdiction! I have total authority to stop the two of you from leaving!” The middle-aged Divine Lieutenant gave a cold snort and spoke harshly.

“Moreover, even if I allow you to leave, you can’t leave at all! The campsite is surrounded by the demon tribe! You just happen to have good luck when you came. Do you want to go out and try now? In under three miles, you’d probably be torn into pieces by them!”

Huang Yueli could tell that the Divine Lieutenant wasn’t just bluffing them. So she started to hesitate.

“But, this…”

The middle-aged Divine Lieutenant waved his hand. “I will give you one night to think through this! If you are willing to stay, I can calculate your military merits and also assign you to become a team leader, to take command of one team. If you insist on leaving… no matter what danger you meet with, whether it’s life or death, it has nothing to do with us.”

Huang Yueli and Xia Yunxi said their thanks and walked out of the big tent.

In the middle of the night when no one was around, Xia Yunxi pulled Huang Yueli to one side and whispered, “Yueli, I’m afraid we’ll have to stay here for a while.”

Huang Yueli was stunned. “Why do you say that? Could it be that even you also have no way to get past the demon tribe’s encirclement and bring us back to Blessed City safely?”

Xia Yunxi squinted her eyes and said thoughtfully, “I don’t know how to explain clearly. It’s just a premonition… I feel that it’s more suitable for us to stay here. There should be a lot more devils around here than what we can imagine, and I don’t have the confidence that we will be able to break through successfully.”

Huang Yueli went silent upon hearing that.

Along the journey, she had acknowledged Xia Yunxi’s ability as The Chosen One. She was also well aware that the latter’s judgment was much more accurate than herself.

Since Xia Yunxi suggested staying in camp, then Huang Yueli thought it would be best to listen to her opinion.

But…

Huang Yueli’s feelings were inappeasable.

Her thoughts were on Li Moying right now. The two of them had been separated for such a long time, and she couldn’t wait to appear in front of him right now!

But somehow, things weren’t going according to her wishes. There would always be something to obstruct them…

Xia Yunxi stared to persuade her. “Yueli, I know you’re in a hurry to look for your husband. But you can’t be too rash and disregard your own safety, right? Moreover, didn’t you wish to accumulate more military merits? Doesn’t joining the army’s battle suit your intentions?”

She had just finished her sentence when a drum roll was heard inside the camp.

Immediately following that, messengers in the camp started to run about and shout.

“Bad news! Bad news! The demon tribe is sneaking an attack on us in the middle of the night!”

“Everyone! Quickly gather!”

“Quickly get in line and position yourself into your team to fight the enemy!”

The campsite was in a fluster as numerous soldiers put on their armor as they ran. Apparently, they had just awoken from the shock.

Huang Yueli and Xia Yunxi didn’t have any team that they belonged to yet. Under this disorderly scenario, no one noticed them at all.

But the two of them exchanged a glance, followed behind a soldier, and ran out together.
