Chapter 146: An Orphan Left Behind is Also a Forsaken Pawn

Chaos and commotion reigned throughout the Norman camp. Shouts, horse neighs, and the clashing of metal echoed incessantly across the sprawling encampment.

Knights drove their squires, demanding they be armored without delay.

Flustered and frantic, the squires hurriedly fitted their masters before scrambling to don their own gear. At the same time, they had to hold the horses and pull on the boots for their lordly knights, making them exceedingly busy.

As for the infantrymen in the army, their lot was even more miserable.

Jie Ge knew nothing of Qiu Shaoze's background, but when he had just arrived to buy barbecue here, his boss had explicitly told him to try not to make things difficult for Qiu Shaoze. Letting it slide once or twice was one thing, but this had happened more than eight times already.

After replying, Shang Mengqi pondered for a moment herself. It seemed that was indeed the case, save for the fact that she had omitted quite a lot of details.

"Notify the army commander immediately that Channel One has been cleared!" Du Jun had no time to wipe away the lingering bloodstains on his face as he issued the order to the radioman beside him.

Those familiar with Fu Wei knew that he simply wished to avoid meeting General Ander, lest things grow terribly awkward when he found himself at a loss for words. Those unaware of the reason naturally murmured with suspicion, but once their comrades explained it clearly, they would all burst into hearty laughter and let the matter drop.

"Wait for me..." A captivating, enchanting smile curved across that ethereal face, plunging anyone who saw it into an involuntary trance.

After a long hesitation, Zi Bing'er finally nodded. The misty veil obscuring her features dissipated, revealing her familiar, delicate face—just as beautiful and moving as before. Yet now, having ascended as the Ice Queen, she possessed an inexpressible and unique temperament.

"Lily, would you be willing to become my official apprentice?" Lin Xiafan's decision wasn't based on her looks, nor on her precocious physical development, but rather on her super-scientific intellect. She was only twelve years old now, yet at twelve, she could invent something this remarkable. Who knew what greater feats she might achieve in the future?

"Officer Jeffs, should we wait for them a bit?" A child looked back and asked quietly.

Looking closer, he saw the Madman, Chu Yanfeng, and several other leaders among them. Yet Xiao Rang felt a sudden stir within—he could not spot the shadow of He Buwei anywhere. Scanning further, a familiar face or two from the Sky Soaring Palace lingered among the crowd, and several old fogies from the Profound Moon Sect also looked rather recognizable.

"Lingyu, why bother caring about what others think?" Ye Lingfeng looked at Ye Lingyu with a smile. Of course he understood what his younger brother meant, but he could not act that way.

As for her manager's admonitions, she had cast them entirely to the wind. Wage war against Hollywood? Could the career she had built in Britain be shattered simply because she collaborated with Lin Ruofeng?

Dog-eye nodded, adjusted his assault rifle to burst-fire mode, and placed his finger directly on the trigger.

"Wh—What?! You're Chu Haoran?! My foot! Talk a load of horse manure! If you're Chu Haoran, then who the hell am I?!" Chu Haoran shouted indignantly. What kind of international joke was this? Was he suffering from a split personality, spawning a second Chu Haoran out of nowhere?

Upon hearing the command, everyone who had been resting immediately dropped what they were doing. They tidied up their respective dormitories without a word and dashed out to the drill ground to form up.

"You'll find out when the time comes, won't you? Alright, stop asking so many questions. It's getting late, so all of you head back to sleep. I'm heading to my room first." With that, Chu Haoran ran upstairs with a cheerful laugh.

Living up to its reputation as a natural reserve, this place maintained much of its pristine scenery, making it a rare and precious sanctuary.

Without paying any mind to 060 and the others trailing behind him, Wang Lang strode off and, entirely devoid of any sense of crisis, began discussing the addition of new training subjects with Dog-eye and his team.

Determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Wang Lang immediately rose and, taking Ma Yan with him, quietly flanked around to investigate.

"In this world, aside from martial arts and magic, there is also something known as technology. Right now, I'm going to take you to witness the marvels of technology," Landon said leisurely as he ate a piece of fruit.
