At the summit of God's Palm, Leopold, Hepburn, and Myron each led five thousand elite warriors, rushing to the scene with great speed and urgency. Upon arriving at the scene, it was discovered that, although there were traces of battle, Nathan and his group were safe and sound. Besides that, the number of corpses lying on the ground wasn't too many. It was greatly exaggerated by Hepburn to say that Nathan had encountered tens of thousands of enemies.
Leopold and Myron were relieved to see that Nathan was not dead, but at the same time, they looked at Hepburn with a sense of confusion. Hepburn had the same doubt as well. She looked puzzled and said, “Mr. Cross, it's great that you're all okay, but what about the enemies? I remember there were thousands, if not tens of thousands, of them heading this way, weren't there?”
“We have taken down the enemy's leader, and the other bandits have all dispersed,” Nathan said with a smile.
Hepburn widened her eyes, somewhat in disbelief.
Mr. Cross actually defeated the enemy leader and repelled tens of thousands of enemies. That's just too incredible!
At that moment, Colin smugly recounted the whole story to everyone. Although Hepburn and the others were not at the scene, they could still feel their blood boiling with excitement. Their eyes were filled with fervor when they looked at Nathan. Nathan chuckled.
“It was just an ordinary skirmish. The enemy was somewhat weak. Once we defeated their leader, the rest of them scattered. By the way, are you guys the first ones to arrive?” Upon hearing Nathan's question, Leopold immediately put on a serious face and reported in a low voice, “When we saw the flare from the mountain peak, we knew something had happened. Later on, Hepburn also came back to confirm this. I, along with Ms. Hepburn and General Myron, hurriedly led our respective troops to provide reinforcements.
Well, Wolfric sure is something else. He knew full well that you were facing an enemy situation and that it was critical. But whether it was intentional or not, he took his sweet time gathering the War Gods from various countries. I bet they haven't even set off yet.”
