Undead Mage: I Have a Skeleton Clone

"Captain Leng Feng, have you found any traces of those scouts?" Fang Zhou asked.

"Not yet!"

"No? So are we still going to set up camp according to the original plan tonight?" Priest Qu Shuang asked.

"Let’s wait and see Zhuo Yue and others’ messages first.

If there’s still nothing, then we’ll have to camp here tonight.

But to prevent any accidents, we must arrange people to stand guard at night." Captain Leng Feng said helplessly.

"Do you think there will be any danger here?" Fang Zhou asked.

"I’m not sure, but the fact that we can’t see any of the scout team makes me very uneasy!" Captain Leng Feng said.

"Maybe they just received orders to go back?" Qu Shuang comforted him.

"Impossible, they needed to wait here to receive us.

Moreover, haven’t you noticed? There’s no other way out of this marshland."

"Captain!"

At this moment, several warriors completed their search and returned to report to Leng Feng.

"Did you find anything?" Seeing their faces, it seemed like they hadn’t found anything, but Captain Leng Feng still asked.

"No, we carefully checked everywhere and didn’t find anything suspicious, nor any clues."

Indeed, that’s the case.

"Then what’s going on?

No battle marks at the scene, these people just disappeared without a trace?

Could it be that Fan Tianzong Major General is deceiving us?"

Seeing this is neither here nor there, Qu Shuang carelessly spoke.

Speaking without concern and listening attentively, Fang Zhou’s eyes lit up beside them.

"Captain, last time you embarrassed Major General Fan Tianzong in front of the Master.

Do you think he..."

Captain Leng Feng glared, and the quick-witted Zhuo Yue immediately realized the situation seemed a bit inappropriate.

He quickly stopped speaking, while Fang Zhou had already observed all of this.

"No matter what, we’re not going back today.

And the scout team was only responsible for receiving us here; it doesn’t greatly affect our investigation mission.

I think we shouldn’t discuss this topic any further.

Fang Zhou, Leng Shuang, as you two Magic Professionals have traveled a long way this afternoon, you should rest early!" Captain Leng Feng said.

Next, he arranged Fang Zhou and Leng Shuang on the inside of the camp, himself and several warriors on the outside, forming a protective angle around them.

Moreover, he also designated Zhuo Yue and another Silver Warrior for night watch.

At night, the marshland was humid and chilly.

A blazing bonfire was burning in the middle of the camp.

From one of the military tents, a shadow quietly slipped out.

This shadow was Fang Zhou.

"Hey, Brother Zhuo Yue!"

"Oh, it turns out it’s you, Brother Fang Zhou!

What’s wrong? Did you get used to the comfort of the Mage Corps camp, and now can’t sleep outside?"

Responsible for the late-night watch, Zhuo Yue teased.

"Not really, it’s just that after joining the Dawn Legion, this is my first time teaming up with people for a mission, I couldn’t sleep from the excitement." Fang Zhou said lightly.

Speaking of comfort, he really had nothing to worry about.

Camping in the wild, along with the bizarre events of the day, his cautious nature had long arranged Blood Spirit Giant Bats and Blood Spirit Assassins around the camp.

Blood Spirit Summoning creatures never tire, much more alert than Zhuo Yue’s watch.

"Haha, there’s nothing strange about that.

When I first went on a mission with the captain, I accompanied him chatting outside the whole night."

"Oh? Really?

Brother Zhuo Yue and Captain Leng Feng have quite the unusual relationship!"

"Surely, we brothers have been following the captain since joining the legion, everything we know is taught by him!" Zhuo Yue said with some pride.

"Yes, although it’s only been half a day, I can feel Captain Leng Feng is a principled and capable person!"

"Haha! Brother Fang Zhou, everyone in the legion says that."

Hearing Fang Zhou’s evaluation of Captain Leng Feng, Zhuo Yue happily patted Fang Zhou’s shoulder.

"It’s a pity though..." Fang Zhou glanced at Zhuo Yue, sighed and said.

"What’s wrong?" Hearing Fang Zhou’s sudden change of tone, Zhuo Yue asked nervously.

Fang Zhou said mysteriously, "I heard Captain Leng Feng seems to have had some issues with Major General Fan Tianzong..."

"Even people from the First Combat Master knew!" Hearing Fang Zhou’s words, Zhuo Yue excitedly slammed his fist on the ground.

"I said it before, that Fan Tianzong is famous for holding grudges, there’s no way it happened without consequence!"

Fang Zhou smiled slyly in the shadows, "I don’t know the specific reasons very well myself.

Why doesn’t Brother Zhuo Yue tell me more?"

After some exchanging of words, Fang Zhou easily learned from Zhuo Yue about the grievances between Lieutenant Colonel Leng Feng of the Third Combat Master and Major General Fan Tianzong.

According to Zhuo Yue’s explanation, the principled Lieutenant Colonel Leng Feng expressed dissatisfaction with the inspection results during a legion review, questioning Major General Fan Tianzong’s fairness, which sparked the conflict between them.

Later, the matter blew up, severely damaging Major General Fan Tianzong’s reputation.

From then on, the narrow-minded Major General Fan Tianzong saw Lieutenant Colonel Leng Feng as a thorn in his side.

He no longer gave any credit opportunities to Lieutenant Colonel Leng Feng, and whenever possible, he would set traps for him.

Therefore, Zhuo Yue believed that this sudden goodwill from Major General Fan Tianzong was certainly not as simple as it seemed!

Fang Zhou simply listened to these matters.

After all, it was merely Zhuo Yue’s perspective.

To be honest, Fang Zhou’s impression of Major General Fan Tianzong, whom he had met briefly, was still quite acceptable.

But the gaze this Golden Tier Major General officer directed at him always felt slightly odd.
