Chapter 1323: Chapter 892: Convergence

“Breaking off an engagement, honestly, it feels like I’ve seen a similar scene somewhere before.”

While patrolling the skies, Duanmu Huai pondered.

“Ogis, do you remember it?”

“Breaking off an engagement? Audrey, right?”

“Oh yes, that’s the one.”

Upon hearing Ogis’s reply, Duanmu Huai clapped his hands, finally remembering. It was in Manaria where, during a nobleman’s banquet, the son of a duke publicly proposed breaking off his engagement. At the time, Duanmu Huai was curious about the reversal of the usual engagement breaking… After all, in the novels he read, it was always the female party who initiated the break off.

And then the male party became a pitiful figure.

Of course, it turned out it was a succubus’s trickery; that’s a whole other story.

An alliance through marriage with nobility and marrying into the royal family are, after all, different matters. However, in Duanmu Huai’s view, Audrey obviously had more sense than Yuriya.

Today, Enisphia did not join the patrol; she was at the mage’s mansion comforting Yuriya. After all, being publicly broken off an engagement by the prince was a big blow to Yuriya, who was still reflecting on what she might have done wrong… Well, what can one say, if paths diverge, there can be no planning together. As a preserver of the vested interest system, Yuriya and Algard definitely did not speak the same language.

Now the question is whether Algard can handle the situation.

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand to his chin, lost in thought. To tell the truth, Duanmu Huai never cared much about these matters. Maybe Algard was sincere, maybe he was deceiving him, but Duanmu Huai didn’t care. In fact, this was consistent with his character.

It did not matter to him whether what the other party said was true or false; if asked, he would do it regardless.

This wasn’t because Duanmu Huai was easily deceived but because he simply didn’t care whether or not he was being lied to. If you don’t deceive me, good, if you do, then wait for me to smash your head in, that’s how it goes, right?

Like when an elderly person falls to the ground, you say you want to help, aren’t you afraid of being scammed?

Heh, not really afraid. If you don’t scam me, then I’ve done a good deed.

If you scam me, I’ll ruin you financially and then have someone break your legs.

In the end, the choice is yours, don’t blame me for being ruthless.

So, in Duanmu Huai’s view, the current world was even more suitable for his survival than the original one.

After all, here, if someone dared to deceive him, he would indeed smash the deceiver’s head with a hammer.

In the original world, that would have been somewhat troublesome.

At least you couldn’t smash someone’s head in front of their face.

“My lord.”

While Duanmu Huai was lost in thought, the voice of Ogis sounded in his ear.

“There’s a situation up ahead.”

“What situation?”

Hearing Ogis’s voice, Duanmu Huai came to a halt and looked ahead, then he saw a team advancing toward them from the other side of the horizon.

“That direction is… the Royal City? Could it be the material transport convoy has arrived, they actually made it?”

It must be said, this quite surprised Duanmu Huai. He had thought that the convoy would die en route, but they actually arrived?

“Let’s go, take a look at what’s going on.”

The next moment, Duanmu Huai changed his direction, flying towards the approaching team.

“Who goes there!?”

When Duanmu Huai descended from the sky like a meteorite, landing heavily in front of the convoy, the soldiers guarding the convoy were also taken aback, hastily raising their swords and shields, while drawing their bows, aiming at the formidable steel giant before them. The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Luckily, just as the soldiers recklessly prepared to launch an attack, the arrival of one person prevented the impending tragedy.

“Ah, big brother!”

“Zhenjiling?”

Seeing the smiling Zhenjiling running towards him, Duanmu Huai was taken aback.

“Why are you here? And… what’s going on?”

To be honest, Zhenjiling’s appearance here was quite a surprise to Duanmu Huai, but beyond that, there was something else that astonished him even more——Zhenjiling had ropes tied around her, and trailing behind her was a carriage loaded with a massive amount of goods!

The goods on the carriage towered two or three heads above Zhenjiling; despite being a horse maiden, she wasn’t really meant to be hauling carriages, was she?

“Ah, this? Because there weren’t enough horses for the transport convoy, so I helped out.”

Noticing Duanmu Huai’s gaze, Zhenjiling quickly waved her hands and then removed the ropes from her body.

“Big brother, don’t worry, horse maidens train this way, and usually, they carry much heavier things!”

You train with these things? But what on earth do you mean by not enough horses?

“Actually, this transport convoy was attacked by the Demon Clan on their way here.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai’s expression grew stern.

“Tell me more about it.”

In Zhenjiling’s animated explanation, Duanmu Huai quickly learned of the troubles the transport convoy had encountered, which made him narrow his eyes.

“Are you sure that the Demon Clan targeted the convoy specifically?”

“Of course, I have the recording.”

“Show me.”

While speaking, Duanmu Huai opened his personal terminal and accessed Zhenjiling’s recording from her terminal, and indeed, from the footage, that Demon Clan member seemed to have not discovered the convoy by chance, but rather aimed to attack them on purpose —- that was very telling.
