Chapter 1615 - 1080: Building a City
Meanwhile, in the Rogues’ Camp, Tacheng Xiao Mao and Naruse Mio were sitting idly by the campfire, feeling bored.
After all, aside from being in a daze, they had nothing else to do.
The entire Blood Wasteland was shrouded in darkness due to the influence of evil forces. Only the areas lit by fire had some light. People in the Rogues’ Camp were either preparing for battle or out on patrol. Only a few merchants stayed behind to peddle goods, but the two didn’t have the currency of this world, so even if they fancied something, they could only look on helplessly. As a result, they could only sit by the campfire and daydream.
By the way, Xiao Mao wasn’t wearing her Power Armor anymore, and the reason was simple. Although the Power Armor was indeed incredibly protective, Xiao Mao discovered a significant issue once she put it on.
She couldn’t fly.
Yes, as a Demon, Tacheng Xiao Mao should theoretically be able to spread her wings and fly through the sky, but that was when she was wearing her school uniform that allowed for an opening at the back. However, the Power Armor was so tightly sealed that not a wisp of air could pass, and Xiao Mao’s wings couldn’t squeeze out. Moreover, the suit was too heavy, so even if Xiao Mao extended her wings, she couldn’t fly. This was why she had to rely on Naruse Mio’s Gravity Magic to return.
Therefore, when not in battle, Xiao Mao would stow away the Power Armor — she couldn’t exactly wear it 24/7 like Duanmu Huai.
"Sigh, when will uncle be back?"
Looking at the dim and gloomy sky, Naruse Mio sighed helplessly. Duanmu Huai had left to check on the movement of the Royal City’s reinforcements, leaving the two of them behind without mentioning when he’d return... Could it be he won’t be back today?
