Chapter 149: Chapter 149
The medical staff here really have a good level of expertise, perhaps due to their constant experience with injuries at the border.
Anyway, after they finished treating me, although my right arm still feels numb, it doesn’t hurt as much as before. On the surface, it looks like an arm rather than a noodle.
Using some unknown means, Du You’s arm was secured and hung in front of his chest.
Luckily, I am a mage. If I were a warrior, I wouldn’t be able to fight in such condition.
After taking the blood replenishing medicine and hemostatic medicine, Du You felt the dizziness slowly fading away.
"I only brought antidotes and injury remedies. From now on, I need to prepare some hemostatic medicine and blood replenishing medicine." Du You murmured to himself, regretting his previous oversight.
Of course, if it weren’t for the injury remedies, Du You would hardly have made it back. His injuries this time were severe.
"Come with me, I have a few questions to ask you," General Luo Ha said and turned to leave. He knew what kind of mission Du You had undertaken. Since he had returned and was so badly injured, it definitely meant he had engaged in a battle.
Now, they had a lot to learn. That fortress was a significant stronghold for Wood Shield City, or else it wouldn’t have so many experts present.
Temporary mission: Prevent Wood Shield City and Beastmen’s grain trade, completed.
Hidden mission: The fall of the Giant Rock Fortress, completed.
I’ve completed two missions at once, unexpectedly one of them was hidden. It seems that the original mission was to interrupt the grain trade, not to wipe out the Giant Rock Fortress. I could’ve misunderstood.
But no matter, after all, I’ve completed an extra mission, plus gathered so many Light Balls. Most importantly, among the four leaders, each of them gave me a Light Ball. The reward must be substantial.
Following General Luo Ha into the secret chamber, Du You began to explain what he had done without hesitation.
"You’re saying, you completely eradicated that stronghold and left no one alive?"
Du You laughed, "Of course. If I hadn’t taken something from Border City before leaving, I might not have made it back." Looking back, the battle was indeed fraught with danger. I must take extra precautions next time.
When facing the God Archer, a profession with long-range attacks, I shouldn’t haphazardly use Xiaozi to fly and fight in the air. After all, I’m not a knight, nor do I hold any airborne profession.
"You don’t have to be modest, you’ve earned these honours with your contribution." General Luo Ha waved his hand dismissively.
"Are you saying that the people of Wood Shield City are aligned with the Beastmen? Do you have proof? This is very crucial. As long as we can find evidence, we can certainly gain a significant advantage."
Seeing Du You’s confusion, General Luo Ha said outright, "If we have evidence, our empire could issue a warning to the royal family of the Xina Empire, weakening their support to Wood Shield City. At the same time, we can receive more support from the Imperial Capital to counter the Beastmen’s attack."
Du You nodded in understanding. So things work this way. But the Empire and support are imaginary in this world. Where do they get assistance from? Are they temporarily evolved by the world?
Du You was slightly perplexed but didn’t say anything further. "I brought the evidence."
Du You took out the equipment from the four level 6 leaders and also from some other people. Thank goodness he knew to bring many items back, so he had emptied his personal space before setting out.
He had left the things in his personal space in his room. They wouldn’t be considered discarded, so the system wouldn’t clean them up. As long as they are kept in his personal space, he can leave them for as long as he likes.
Looking at these items, General Luo Ha furrowed his brow. These could only prove that Du You had killed a Wolfman’s legion commander, but they couldn’t prove anything else. The evidence was clearly insufficient.
However, when Du You took out the last piece of Beastskin, General Luo Ha’s expression changed.
"Hahaha, good, very good, with this, I want to see how they will try to defend themselves." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝓷𝓮𝓽
Du You was puzzled, "Although this is the letter of communication between the Beastmen and Wood Shield City, it can’t be that significant. Can’t this thing be forged?" Du You found Luo Ha’s excitement strange.
"Of course not, look at this, this mark." Luo Ha pointed to a bizarre claw mark. Initially, Du You thought it was left by some animal stepping on it.
But, as Luo Ha’s Dou Qi stimulated the claw mark, it emitted a golden-red glow.
"See that? That’s the special mark of the Beastmen, and no one can forge it. Look at the color, this letter was even written by a royal Beastman. I didn’t expect the Beastman royalty to be involved. This matter is getting rather troublesome."
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ha said, "Given your contribution, you can be appointed as a Centurion. However, such a position requires a consensus, so you have to wait a couple of days. Rest assured, your merits will not be short-changed."
Du You nodded, "That’s fine, but can we expedite the confirmation of the Giant Rock Fortress matter? Because in two days, I intend to go into closed-door cultivation to deal with my problems."
"You don’t need to worry about that. Given the seriousness of the matter, we will speed up the process. We will complete it within two days at the most." With Luo Ha’s promise, Du You felt relieved.
I can only remain in this world for another three days or so. But Du You didn’t want to endure the pain for too long.
Any movement of my arm brings heart-wrenching pain. If not for the strengthening of my body due to Law Formalization, if this kind of pain were to happen to the old me, I would have collapsed already.
"Alright, you can go back and rest. You may exchange for your mission rewards now. I have credited them to you."
"You’ve recorded it now? Doesn’t it require confirmation?"
"With this, I believe you. No one else would have any objections either." Luo Ha shook the Beastskin in his hand.
So it’s because of this letter. Well, the official communication between the Beastman royalty and Wood Shield City. If this thing doesn’t confirm the completion of my mission, then there must be a problem.
However, to confirm the mission, procedures still need to be followed.
Thinking this, Du You gave an informal salute and then left. Instead of going to his quarters, Du You planned to claim his mission rewards now. Border City has many good things after all.
As he entered the treasure house for the third time, those around him looked at Du You with more awe and respect than before. News about his recent mission had already spread throughout the army.
