Chapter 30: For whom do you fight?
General Anglius understood all that, and his eyes sharpened for a moment before he finally spoke.
"Open the gate and let our friend enter. It must not be said that the Constantine Country’s military is ungrateful."
The lieutenant did not hesitate before nodding and going down to open the gate himself. Jormungandr only smiled as he observed this, his eyes calm yet carrying a silent intent that made General Anglius feel extremely tense.
It is said that cats are perfectly evolved ambush predators, capable of incredible feats. People usually don’t see them as dangerous due to their small size and lack of killing tools, yet the tiny yellow cat could unleash spells that could kill dozens of demons stronger than bears, so Anglius did not dare to lower his guard.
Vlad smiled as he saw the gates opening. Of course, it was not like they had a choice. Just as he could take care of this small horde, he could also confront the people atop the wall. However, he wanted to start on good terms, and while subduing them with strength was quick, it was not a path with much potential.
It didn’t take long for Vlad to reach the fortress, and immediately, Jormungandr jumped onto his shoulder. The rest of the soldiers looked at the duo with awe, wonder, and admiration, but there was also fear and trepidation.
The young man had the physical might to face a horde, while the other was as fast as a shadow and could use spells to kill dozens of monsters. Together, they were simply an unsurpassable force for the soldiers.
Vlad could feel the tension in the air, and he just smiled before clasping his hands, bowing slightly to General Anglius, and showing his ID card.
"Vlad Xaos, a student from Codia University. He is my friend, Jormungandr. I’m happy to see you are all fine."
