#1237 - Chapter 1237 The Missing Prince
“The Abyss Expeditionary Force?”
Hearing this bizarre name, Wu Wei sneered.
“What kind of ridiculous name is that?”
“Forget it.”
“Regardless.”
“You’ve finally arrived, I thought you weren't coming to welcome our reinforcements.”
Wu Wei said sarcastically.
“After all, isn't it safest for you to stay in the palace?”
“There are no rebels there, and not much danger.”
Although these words sounded very harsh, the problem was that Wu Wei's sarcasm was justified.
After all, Wu Wei and Grand Prince Shi Renjun's army had been in the King's City world for at least a week, and they had been in front of the palace for more than two days.
Although the star in the King's City world had not been updated for a long time due to the damage to the device, Wu Wei absolutely did not believe that these warriors who had been guarding the palace had not noticed him for such a long time.
The reason they didn't provide support was definitely because they, like the nobles Wu Wei had killed, were afraid of getting involved in the war.
Thinking of this, Wu Wei felt even more disdainful towards the so-called legion commander in front of him.
“What you said makes sense.”
“But not necessarily accurate, Mr. Wu Wei.”
However, facing Wu Wei's sarcasm, the legion commander who claimed to be from the [Abyss Expeditionary Force] was very restrained.
He neither angrily retorted to Wu Wei, nor did he use similar methods to strike back.
On the contrary, he said very calmly.
“We did discover you and your army after you entered the battlefield.”
“And we also admit one thing, that we did choose to sit on the sidelines while you were fighting the rebels.”
“But there is a reason for this.”
The legion commander of the Abyss Expeditionary Force explained patiently to Wu Wei.
“First of all, our defense forces in the palace cannot be easily mobilized.”
“Because we shoulder a very heavy responsibility.”
“We must protect this human treasure behind us, and protect the creations inside from being occupied by the rebels.”
“Secondly...”
“Compared to the war you experienced before, our battle is not easy either.”
The legion commander pointed to the warriors behind him and said.
“From the moment the rebels rose up to the present when they attacked the King's City, our warriors have been fighting them all the time.”
“So, if you want to say that we are irresponsible, I can accept it.”
“But you can't say that we are cowards.”
The legion commander, who hid his face in his helmet, said to Wu Wei.
“After all, the reason why we observed you was just to test whether you were on the side of the rebels.”
——————————
After listening to the other party's explanation, Wu Wei looked at the legion commander.
Unsurprisingly, Wu Wei used his ability to discover that the legion commander was indeed not lying.
Everything he had just described was true.
Because the other party's soul did not have the slightest abnormal fluctuation when saying these words.
Thinking of this, Wu Wei nodded.
“Okay, I accept your explanation.”
“But I still have to explain one thing.”
“What is it?”
“The army I lead is not my regular army.”
“To be precise, I am just an army commander.”
“The real master of this army under my command is Grand Prince Shi Renjun.”
“It was this prince of the empire who ordered me to support the King's City.”
The reason why Wu Wei said this was also because he had his own ideas.
For example, he planned to use Grand Prince Shi Renjun's identity to allow these troops to infect those soldiers who had not yet been infected by the River Styx plague more quickly, and make them new infected.
However, as soon as Wu Wei finished saying these words, he keenly realized.
The legion commander in front of him seemed to have some emotional changes.
“So it's Grand Prince's army?”
“What a pity.”
“Pity?”
Hearing these two words, Wu Wei was stunned.
“What a pity?”
Immediately afterwards, a strange feeling appeared in Wu Wei's mind.
“What a pity.”
“Grand Prince, so loyal.”
“But he disappeared in the rebel attack a few days ago.”
“If it weren't for these rebels, Grand Prince would have been a qualified right-hand man to His Majesty the Emperor!”
Hearing this, Wu Wei temporarily ignored the loyalty in the other party's words, and instead focused his attention on another matter.
That is....
“Wait a minute.”
“You said Grand Prince Shi Renjun is missing?”
“But the problem is.”
“Didn't this guy return to the real world?”
