CHAPTER 258: The Power of a Battle
As soon as Zhao Hai and Laura appeared in the tent, they immediately walked out. Sure enough, a Blood Eagle was circling in the sky.
Zhao Hai observed the movements of the flying eagle carefully, and after a while, he said, “Someone is charging from the side, about two thousand of them, mostly tauren cavalry. Oh, it seems they also have spatial scouts?”
Laura and the others were taken aback and looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai turned around and smiled, “The Blood Eagle discovered that there are two flying magical beasts that seem to be assisting that cavalry team. It looks like they are really coming for us this time. I’ll go notify my brother; you all prepare as well.” Laura and the others nodded, and Zhao Hai quickly headed towards Wells’ camp.
Wells and the others were also resting. It was almost dark, and they couldn’t travel in the dark, so after drinking with Zhao Hai, they returned to their tents to rest.
Although they hadn’t drunk much today, they all felt a bit tipsy because their moods were not good. When people are in a bad mood, it’s easy to get drunk.
Wells was feeling somewhat disoriented. Although he hadn’t fought in recent days, he felt very tired, mentally exhausted. He truly felt worn out, and as soon as he lay down on the bed, combined with the effects of alcohol, he quickly fell asleep.
However, falling asleep didn't mean he was sleeping soundly. Wells was dreaming, or rather having a nightmare. He dreamt of his father, who urged Wells to avenge him. Soon after, he dreamt of Gasol, who was chasing him, leading to a restless sleep.
At this time, Zhao Hai had already reached the outside of the camp. Although the Herculean Bull Tribe members were guarding the camp, they did not stop Zhao Hai upon seeing him; instead, they all bowed to him. Zhao Hai had changed identities; he was now Wells’ blood oath brother.
Soon, Zhao Hai arrived outside Wells’ tent. Only one person was standing guard outside. This individual wasn’t a guard for Wells but was there to assist Wells when necessary.
Seeing Zhao Hai arrive, the guard quickly bowed to him. Zhao Hai nodded but did not enter the tent. Instead, he looked at the guard and asked, “What is my brother doing?”
The guard hurriedly replied, “The Young Master is resting.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Go wake him up; I have important matters to discuss. It’s urgent; you must wake him up.” Seeing Zhao Hai’s serious expression, the guard didn’t dare to delay and quickly ran into the tent.
At this moment, Mendez and Yale also heard Zhao Hai’s words and walked out of their tents. Unlike Wells, who was sleeping soundly, neither of them was in such a deep sleep.
When they saw Zhao Hai standing anxiously in front of Wells’ tent, they were startled. Yale’s expression changed as he quickly approached Zhao Hai, asking, “Little Hai, what’s wrong? Is something happening? Could it be a food issue?” Yale was most concerned about the food situation, so seeing Zhao Hai’s expression, he feared there was a problem with the food.
His question made Mendez tense up. He understood how critical the food in Zhao Hai’s hands was for them, so hearing Yale’s words made him anxious as well.
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “No, it’s something else.” Just as he finished speaking, they heard Wells’ voice from inside the tent, “Little Hai, what is it? Come in quickly.” Zhao Hai nodded at Yale and Mendez then entered the tent, and the two hurried to follow.
Wells had just gotten up and was drinking water. He felt a slight headache. Zhao Hai quickly walked up to him and said, “Brother, enemies are approaching, about two thousand of them, all tauren cavalry.”
Wells and the others were taken aback, and then they looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai, seeing their expressions, knew they wanted to know where he got this information from. He quickly explained, “Brother, how could you forget? I have a phantom beast flying eagle that can perform spatial reconnaissance. The news just came from that flying eagle. The opponents not only have two thousand people but also two flying magical beasts assisting them. If it weren't for my flying eagle flying high enough, we might have been discovered by their flying beasts.”
