After a while, everything settled down.
Claudia gently raised her head, her clear, bright eyes filled with a faint shyness and anticipation.
"Can we let those soldiers go now?"
Gently stroking her flaxen hair, Bai Chen's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this.
"What should you call me?"
A few streaks of blush slowly crept onto Claudia's glistening earlobes, and her voice trembled slightly.
"Master, can you spare those soldiers?"
"Since you've performed reasonably well, I can release 50 people. The rest depends on your performance!"
Upon hearing this, Claudia was overjoyed.
If 50 people are released at a time, that's 500 people in ten times.
The entire Royal Guard only has a little over 500 members, meaning that at most 12 rescues would be needed to get them all out.
With this thought in mind, she was immediately filled with motivation.
Her snow-white, delicate hand grasped his burning hot hand, her eyes brimming with tears.
"Master, this servant..."
Seeing how cooperative the other party was, Bai Chen's eyes showed even more amusement.
However, the key to education lies in striking a balance between firmness and leniency; one cannot simply go along with the other person's wishes.
Immediately, Bai Chen gently stroked those pink cherry lips, his voice indifferent.
"That's enough."
"But..."
Claudia, upon hearing this, still said something.
But facing Bai Chen's somewhat indifferent gaze, she ultimately swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and silently continued with her work.
As evening approached, she nestled in Bai Chen's arms.
As Claudia watched the 50 soldiers stripped of their armor leave the camp, a sweet smile appeared on her lips.
At the same time, a strong sense of pride welled up in my heart.
After all, she successfully saved 50 people from the brink of death.
Bai Chen released the person.
Whether the other party can return to the Sixth Fortress alive is none of his concern.
After all, along the way, monsters and bandits roamed freely.
Unarmed, they would become prime targets for the enemy.
what?
You said there's no Warcraft or Bandit?
If Bai Chen says it exists, then it exists!
After she left, Bai Chen took Claudia back to the main tent and began to play with her pet.
This was the last gift her mother gave her before she died.
He has silently accompanied Claudia for twenty years.
The military camp was full of rough men, and it was only because of the companionship of this pet that Claudia had not been too lonely all these years.
Standing before Bai Chen, the young family members looked on with anticipation.
"Master, is it alright?"
Upon receiving Bai Chen's nod of agreement, she was immediately overjoyed.
Immediately, the great task of rescuing the soldiers began.
After saving another 50 soldiers, Claudia, whose eyelids were drooping, finally couldn't hold on any longer and closed her eyes to fall into a deep sleep.
Even in her sleep, she was still thinking about those hundreds of soldiers, constantly muttering about dragons.
"I brought you out here, and I will definitely bring you back."
"Don't worry, I'll be able to..."
Seeing how hard the other party was trying, Bai Chen couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
He gently smoothed the stray hairs sticking to her forehead, then, embracing that exquisite jade, slowly drifted off to sleep...
Chapter 122 The "Reinforcements" of the Fourth Fortress
The next morning, Bai Chen, who was still asleep, was awakened by a rustling sound.
Slowly turning her head, she saw a perfect silhouette bathed in sunlight.
A smile gradually appeared on Bai Chen's lips as he heard the voice and asked.
"Claudia, what are you doing?"
Claudia, who was sitting on the edge of the bed eating cookies, quickly turned her head upon hearing this.
Looking at Bai Chen, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.
"Master, you're awake. I'm so sorry, I really..."
After glancing at the scene, Bai Chen instantly understood and gently stroked the child's cute little head a few times, softly comforting it.
Meeting Bai Chen's gentle gaze and feeling the heat emanating from the large hand above her head, Claudia's initial fear gradually subsided.
A pair of eyes as blue as the ocean, slowly curving into crescent moons.
After thanking him, he continued to eat the biscuit in his hand in small bites.
It can only be said that she is indeed a princess knight who has been trained in aristocratic etiquette; even her eating manners are so pleasing to the eye.
After a while, he looked at Claudia, who was patting her belly and had a happy look on her charming face.
Bai Chen couldn't help but gently stroke that pert, delicate nose, and asked softly.
"Are you full?"
Faced with such intimate gestures, Claudia's cheeks flushed with an alluring blush.
They subtly, almost imperceptibly, nod their little heads a few times.
"That's good! I'm going to release the soldiers later. Are you coming with me, or...?"
Before Bai Chen could finish speaking, Claudia hurriedly spoke up.
"This servant will go with my master!"
She could only feel at ease when she saw her comrades leave with her own eyes.
Soon after, the central army general arrived.
As she watched the 50 soldiers depart in an orderly fashion, a strong fighting spirit shone in Claudia's eyes.
Only 9 more attempts are needed to save all the soldiers, Claudia—keep going!
Noticing this, Bai Chen gently wrapped his arm around her slender waist and slowly leaned close to her ear.
“I have an idea to release 100 soldiers at once, but the cost might be too high. Claudia, would you like to try it?”
Claudia didn't hesitate for a moment after hearing this.
His face, now less youthful and more mature than before, was filled with determination as he nodded emphatically.
"My slave is willing!"
"very good!"
A strange smile slowly curved his lips, and Bai Chen led the little beauty back to the central command tent...
While Claudia was working tirelessly to save the soldiers, the Fourth Fortress...
The mercenary, who was dozing off on the city wall while holding a spear, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.
He was jolted awake, his brain quickly restarting, and he hurriedly looked out of the city.
Several miles away, a thick cloud of smoke and dust could be seen.
In the dim light, one could still see the armor gleaming in the sunlight.
Upon seeing this, the mercenary's face immediately lit up with joy.
Immediately afterwards, he shouted loudly.
"The cavalry! The cavalry are coming!"
The mercenaries, who had already learned from their leader that the Royal Guard Knights would be coming to their aid, crowded to the wall upon hearing this.
As far as the eye could see, banners blotted out the sun, and spears and halberds were everywhere.
Even from several miles away, they could feel a murderous aura rushing towards them.
The rhythmic sound of horses' hooves struck their hearts like drumbeats.
The previously noisy mercenaries immediately fell silent upon seeing the disciplined troops.
A look of fear involuntarily appeared on his face.
With such a powerful army, they could probably break through their battle formation in a single round.
Just then, a burst of hearty laughter suddenly erupted from the crowd.
"Hahaha~, with the help of these cavalry, those demons are no match for us."
"My greatsword is thirsting for blood and can't wait to drink its fill of demon blood."
These words immediately enlivened the atmosphere in the room once again.
"Don't try to take it from me, I'm going to cut off those demons' heads and use them as a football."
"I've heard there's a race of succubi among demons, extremely skilled in seduction. I'd like to see that..."
