Chapter 212: Leaving the camp



Chapter 212: Leaving the camp

The next day,

Liu Feng woke up. He looked around and saw that nothing was disturbed. Alderan was sleeping on the bed. Liu Feng got onto his feet and stretched his arms. Yawning, he took the magical stone from the ground where he threw it the night before.

Throwing the stone back into his spatial ring, he left the tent. It was early morning, and there was almost no one in sight. It was quite obvious that none of these spoilt people woke up early in the morning anymore.

He walked around, looking for Arad. He forgot to ask Arad where his tent was, and had no idea. So he was stuck wandering around, with no clue as to where Arad was. He also could not start without him, because Arad was the only one powerful enough to be able to lift the missile and put it on the truck. 

He sighed at his luck as he sat down in a makeshift bench. He was outside the students’ side of the camp, and over at the soldier’s side. The sun had risen, and the sky had a faint orange hue to it.

He looked in front of him and chuckled. With the sky getting some color, all of the soldiers had gotten up. It seemed that the army had inculcated a very heavy sense of discipline. Also considering the fact that the soldiers had to move very soon, it was only right that all of them were going to wake up now.

“Where is Arad? I want to get to the site by the end of the day so that we can rest at the night. Why is he taking so long. In the academy he always woke up pretty early.”, Liu Feng thought to himself.

“I am right here.”, Arad’s voice suddenly sprang up beside him.

“Aaagh!”, Liu Feng shrieked as he got off the bench. He looked at Arad, who was sitting in the bench, with shock.

“When did you get here? I couldn’t sense you at all. You aren’t that much stronger than me.”, Liu Feng asked.

“But I am much stronger than you. There is a reason that His Majesty trusted me with the task of guarding the contractor of our benefactor.”, Arad said. “I pride myself in being one of the earliest ones in the entire tribe to get to the dragon elder level. That is around the eight order in human terms.”

Liu Feng nodded bitterly.

“So then, shall we start? How will we be going?”, Arad asked.

“We will borrow two horses. One horse, actually. I already got my horse yesterday, and I think that I quite like it.”, Liu Feng smiled.

Arad nodded, and he got up as well and stood beside Liu Feng. Liu Feng walked up to one of the soldiers now. Being the talk of the camp with the incident that happened the day before, the soldier obviously recognized Liu Feng.

“Your Highness! It is an honor.”, the soldier bent down.

“You do not need to bow. I am not that particular about all of this. Anyways, I need a steed. I also parked one of my own here.”, Liu Feng said.

“I shall look for a suitable steed immediately.”, the soldier said.

“Give it to Arad here. I will go fetch my own.”, Liu Feng said. Before the soldier could even refute, Liu Feng was gone.

“I can bring it, Your Highness.”, the soldier whispered.

“What about my steed?”, Arad asked.

The soldier looked back at Arad. Although his actual age was still not known, he looked like a teenager, similar in age to Liu Feng.

“I shall bring one for you.”, the soldier said respectfully, afraid that he would offend someone that he could not afford to offend. 

After a few minutes, the soldier appeared in front of Arad with a beautiful steed. The horse was white all over, and looked absolutely glorious and noble.

“She is one of the finest we have in the entire stable. Anything for the prince.”, the soldier said as he patted the soldier.

“I will take good care of her.”, Arad nodded as he put his hand on the horse. The horse neighed and it started bowing down to Arad, as if prostrating to him.

“What is happening? I have never seen her do something like this. There seems to be some problem. I swear, it was not my fault. The horse is a good steed, and has served officers very well.”, the soldier saw this and was afraid that Arad would become mad.

“Do not worry. This is an unfortunate situation that I face. You see, unlike humans, animals have not lost their touch, and can sense danger, and true nobility like no other.”, Arad smiled as he hopped onto the horse.

“Sir, I have not put a rein on the horse. Please get down so I can do that.”, the soldier said.

“Why would you put a rein on such a beautiful creature? Why would you want to restrain it?”, Arad smiled.

The soldier wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Arad bent down towards the mane of the horse. He whispered something to the horse, and as if it could understand him, it neighed.

The horse started moving, but Arad did not even sway. Arad left the scene, and towards the entrance of the camp. There, Liu Feng was sitting on the black horse that he rode the day before.

“Such bright contrast. Anyone would see the both of us coming from miles away.”, Liu Feng chuckled.

“Pure coincidence, I believe. Shall we head out now? The war will not wait for us, unfortunately, and now, we even have a deadline on when to complete it.”, Arad said.

“If only I could toast to that.”, Liu Feng chuckled as his horse trotted forward.
