"I guess you've never been in love, never had the experience of doing anything for the one you love, otherwise you wouldn't have said that."
This statement caused a burst of laughter among the cavalry regiment.
"Alright, alright, calm down a bit, why are you making so much noise?"
Gadiel was helpless in suppressing his players.
"Come on, Gadiel, everyone, relax while Pons is away. We are still so far from our goal, why are we so nervous?"
Gadiel was confronted by this man and could only lower his head and go on his way.
"Hey, what if they really get together..."
"I don't think it's a good idea. If they were together, there would be big problems."
"Actually, I think so, too, Emperor... No, my family definitely won't allow this."
"If Pons insists on marrying her, it's not impossible."
"If you use a harder method, it will be bad for that woman, right?"
"Oh, woman, isn't it enough to just chase her?"
"Fuck, what a scumbag."
"Sometimes I find that you are the worst of all Woodpeckers."
"As expected of you, 666"
There was another burst of laughter in the team. Asuka, who was running in the front, ignored the group of people behind him. Gadiel, who was in the middle, could only cover his head and felt a worse headache.
"How about this, let's make a bet and guess whether Pons really likes that woman."
"Okay! I bet he definitely doesn't like that woman! If I lose, I'll go back to headquarters and sweep toilets for a month! But if I win, each of you will give me a divine coin!"
"Fuck, this ratio is too disproportionate! I won't come, I won't come."
"It's only been a month, how can that be enough! If you lose, you will get all the money!!"
The crowd burst into laughter again.
At this time, Asuka, who was running in the front, suddenly gave the order to stop moving forward, and the Woodpecker Cavalry, who were originally galloping, quickly stopped.
"I saw the base camp of those guys."
Chapter 24 Meow Meow Meow (Seventeen) (Additional Update)
Asuka stopped where he was and felt the message that the "bird" in the sky conveyed to him. At this time, the sky had turned dark blue with only a faint glow on the horizon. Asuka called back his bird and used his power to control more than a dozen bats around him to fly towards the camp of the thieves.
Although bats have average eyesight, especially in such dim hours, they are able to use their ultrasonic waves for reconnaissance. Asuka first got used to the image of the ultrasonic response, and then ordered the bats to fly to the center of the camp.
This camp is quite large. A rough estimate shows that there are up to 150 people.
"It's not good..."
Asuka's brows were tightly furrowed.
It was obvious that this number of enemies was not something his team could defeat. When he released the bat control, he suddenly found that two of the dozens of bats he controlled had died. Surprised, he controlled the other bats to fly towards that place, and then he could vaguely hear the conversation between the people below.
"Come here little brother, I'll kill two bats for you to taste."
"..."
Eat bats? He thought about the appearance of bats. Although they would not make him feel nauseous, but if he was asked to eat them... he could only say that someone who wanted to eat bats must have something wrong with his brain.
After making sure that he was not the one who was discovered, Asuka released his control over the bat. However, at the moment he released his control, a person who looked like a priest suddenly opened his eyes in a tent in the center of the camp.
"Someone has discovered us!"
"what?"
The others in the tent were suddenly startled and were about to gather their men.
"Don't worry, sit down. They probably don't have enough manpower and are planning to retreat."
After hearing what the priest said, the group of people sat down with peace of mind.
"That's not right, Master Priest. If they don't have enough manpower, then we should quickly send someone to kill them all! That way our intelligence won't be leaked."
The priest still sat there without saying a word. Seeing that there was no reaction, the man could only sit down, and then the priest spoke.
"The people coming this time are all very strong. Send a team to chase them and try to make as much noise as possible. Remember to push them to a place far away from the main city."
"Ok!"
The man at the door was about to go out and give an order, but was stopped by the priest.
"Wait, don't send too many people in the team, but make the formation bigger, and then we will leave this camp immediately."
"What about the people who chased out?"
"No more."
The man looked at the priest's indifferent expression and shuddered in his heart.
"Yes."
..............................
"How long will we keep chasing like this?"
As the sky got darker, Itfil's patience ran out. It was not his task, but he was forced to work overtime.
Pons followed Itfil quietly. The forest in the dark night calmed his heart. His nose was always filled with the faint fragrance from the woman next to him, mixed with the warm and moist air with the fragrance of plants in the forest.
He is in a very good mood now.
Of course, it would be better if there were no mission and a group of people following behind who were always laughing.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?"
Ah, I let it out accidentally.
Pons suppressed the slight smile on his face and put on a serious face.
"Really? We obviously have nothing to do with this mission! Why did we come all the way here with you? We are just security personnel, not a combat unit!"
"Ms. Itefel, please be quiet. Shouting in the dark forest will make you look very unladylike."
? ? ? ?
I'm ashamed of your mother's ladylike demeanor! If I didn't guess that you were a member of the royal family, I would kick you off your horse right now!
Just as Itfil was sulking, there was suddenly a lot of noise in the forest ahead.
"Huh? Why are they back?"
Pang Si heard the movement in front mixed with the footsteps of many precious mounts. The sounds behind were obviously chaotic and he really couldn't make out anything.
Not long after, the Woodpecker members showed up in the distance and quickly approached them.
"What are you doing?"
Pons frowned as he watched their panic.
"Azuka is injured! The enemy is coming after us now!"
Then they saw Asuka lying on the back of the earth dragon, dying.
"What happened? Why is it like this?"
Pons hurried forward to check on Asuka's injuries. Fortunately, Asuka seemed to have only temporarily fallen into a coma, and his body was still instinctively transmitting power to the earth dragon. However, blood was oozing from his ears, nose and mouth.
"Is this a mental attack?"
The other party has a magician?
He suddenly felt that the situation was extremely difficult. Only a magician could fight against a magician, not to mention that there were so many people on the other side. As long as the magician hid in the crowd, he could attack them one by one. If the two sides fought, even though Itfil was also a magician, he would still suffer a great blow and be in danger.
"Let's go, Pons!"
"If we leave, what will happen to them?"
He glanced at Itfil and his group. They simply did not have the ability to make long-distance raids or run quickly.
"The key now is to protect you, Your Highness!!"
Itfil looked at the two people quarreling and thought that she was going to be in trouble. Now she regretted it very much. If she had rejected this mission directly, she would have been promoted to a civilian or demoted to an ordinary superintendent at most. Now she was going to lose her life.
"Hey, stop arguing. You are at least high-ranking nobles of the empire. You are the royal family, right?"
Everyone at Woodpecker turned to look at Itfil.
She spread her hands, with a hint of helplessness in her tone
"You guys should leave quickly. You don't need to worry about us. After all, we are just civilians of the empire, but you are different. You are the elite of the empire, or even the future successors of the empire. If one of you dies randomly, the impact will be much greater than if our group of people died five or six times. So you guys should leave quickly. We will stop the pursuers."
Everyone present could hear the helplessness in their voices, mixed with some determination and fear, but Itfil's team members understood that this was the best choice. If they died here, they would have the honor of protecting important figures of the empire, and their families would live well. But if more than half of the Woodpecker's men were injured, no, even if only one important person died, they would all face tremendous pressure.
"Lay out in formation!"
"Yes!!"
Itfil quickly led her men to form a defensive formation, and she served as the center of the formation, ready to meet the next attack.

Chapter 25 Meow Meow Meow (XVIII)
Looking at Itfil and the others, the people of Woodpecker looked at each other in confusion.
Pons looked at them with disdain.
"You are worse than women."
Then he also fell off his mount and pretended to defend together, while Itefel looked at him with anger.
"Are you crazy? Take your team and get out of the battlefield!"
"Are you crazy or am I? How long do you think you can hold them off? Don't underestimate the power of us woodpeckers!"
The other members of the Woodpeckers could only follow Pons and adopt a defensive posture, placing their heavy mounts in front to withstand the oncoming attack from the opposite side. They all exuded their special abilities, and for a moment some changes took place on the land. Vines gradually hung down from the woods, and the ground in front became bumpy.
As the moon gradually rose higher, Itfil suddenly remembered that he had not fed his cat since noon.
That child should be very smart and be able to find food by himself, right? But when I think about all the food being placed in a wall-mounted cabinet, a normal cat can't reach it. If I can go back this time, I will buy a lot of food to make it up to it.
After a while, the horses chasing from behind gradually approached here, and the thundering sound of horse hooves even made the woods nearby tremble.
"coming!"
A horse jumped out from the dark grass, but in an instant both the horse and the horse were chopped to the ground.
Pons-Shadow
In his hand he held an extra-long broadsword with a slender and long blade. Every time he swung the blade, it seemed to disappear into the dark night and its trajectory could not be found. This ability should be combined with the sword's light and agile movements to strike by surprise, but Pons did the opposite. Every time he swung the sword, he could feel the sharp blade and the powerful force that could tear the target in half.
The others also displayed their abilities and jumped into the battle to fight with each other. The pursuers were also strong. The weapons wrapped in black mist in their hands had the power to devour blood, but unfortunately they encountered the most elite Woodpecker Cavalry Regiment in the empire.
After fighting for a while, Itfil's side gradually felt something was not right. There were fewer and fewer people around, and there was no follow-up force at all. When Woodpecker killed the last man to the ground, the forest fell into deathly silence.
The imagined bloody battle did not come.
"That's it?"
Looking at the corpses all over the ground, which were no more than 50 in total, Pons felt a surge of anger rushing to his head. He picked up Gadiel and pushed him hard against the tree.
"This is what you call a large army?!"
Gadiel was so scared that he dared not speak. The other members of the Woodpecker team looked at each other. No one dared to go up and plead for Gadiel. Now Pons was a powder keg that was about to explode. Anyone who touched him would be implicated. And they all understood why Pons was so angry.
If one team had not been unable to escape and had chosen to stay and fight, or if they had abandoned this team and fled on their own, they would probably have been chased around by these 50 stragglers and been charged with the crime of abandoning their teammates, which would have become the biggest stain in their own hearts even if they didn't tell anyone about it in the end.
Pons resisted the urge to beat Gadiel up, and sat down to calmly analyze the other party's purpose. First of all, the reason why the other team members were chased and beaten in a panic was because the eyes of the team were pinched out by the opponent first. It seemed that the opponent must have a very powerful magician, who forcibly injured Asuka when he was found conducting reconnaissance, causing the team to lose the source of information, and then sent a team of cavalry, deliberately creating a very big noise to chase the rest of the people around.
What is the purpose of this? The other side obviously has enough ability to annihilate their entire army, but they did not do so. Instead, they chose a method that would delay as much time as possible to drive them away.
Yes, it’s just to delay time!
"Gadil! Take the two fastest mounts in the team and check out the camp we scouted earlier! Quickly!"
