"Uh......"

As soon as the woman opened her eyes, she saw Shi Dong and Wu Yue in front of the bed. Her body instinctively wanted to defend herself, but severe pain came from the affected wound, making her unable to move.

"Don't move around, it will tear the wound." Stone said.

Seeing that there was no hostility between the two, I then thought again that they had also treated my injuries...

"...Where are you? Who are you?" The woman's voice was hoarse.

"This is my home. Maybe we can discuss the compensation for the door later..."

Shi Dong's reminder made the woman think of something.

"...I...remembered, this is the mountain..."

"Okay, okay, there are mountains everywhere around here. Girl, keep an eye on her and don't let her escape before she figures out how to compensate for my door."

After saying that, Shi Dong walked out of the house.

Although Uncle Stone was a dwarf, he still knew how to watch what was happening. He knew that the woman would probably not be able to let down her guard in front of him, so he deliberately left Wu Yue alone with her.

"Was that...a dwarf just now?" As soon as Shi Dong left, the woman asked Wu Yue.

"Uncle Stone is a dwarf, not a dwarf..." Wuyue explained.

"Dwarves... dwarves... is that the Underlander?"

The woman is thoughtful.

Unexpectedly, among the people nearby, the dwarves are called "underground people"...

There seems to be nothing wrong...

"What about you? You are not from the underground. Who are you?"

A typical example of a woman trying to figure out the current situation is asking questions all the time.

"I am Wuyue, a passing adventurer. What about you?"

"How long have I been sleeping?" The woman did not answer Wu Yue's question, but suddenly remembered something and asked.

If there was no one in the house when Uncle Stone rescued him two days ago...

"Probably, no more than two days..."

"Two days... shit..." the woman realized something and said to herself.

"What's wrong?"

"It has nothing to do with you, I have to leave now..." After saying that, the woman got up and got out of bed.

But the severe pain that came again told her that there was nothing she could do now.

As if she wanted to vent her anger, the woman punched the bed board, which resulted in another half-healed wound...

"Don't worry, you can't go anywhere like this. Let's heal our injuries first, okay?" Wu Yue advised.

"..."

The woman looked up to the sky and was silent for a long time...

"Forget it...it doesn't matter..."

As if she had decided to give up something, she lay flat on the bed and stared at the ceiling with dull eyes.

Wu Yue could tell that the woman must be complaining about something... maybe she was blaming herself...

Well, since she doesn't want to say anything, don't force her...let her heal her injuries first before talking.

Thinking like this, Wuyue was about to get up and leave the room.

"Melissa..." the woman started.

"My name is Melissa."

......

"So, Miss Melissa, can you explain now why you did this and smashed my door, huh?" Stone asked.

"...I'm sorry...Mr. Stone, my mind was blank at that time, and I really can't think about that much..."

"Actually...I've been being hunted these past few days..."

"Who are you chasing?"

"...I offended the powerful...because...because I refused to obey him..." Melissa hesitated to explain the reason.

"Since you can escape all the way to such a deserted place, you must be no ordinary person, so the person who can force you must not be an ordinary person..."

Stone's words were very clear, but Melissa still had something to hide.

"Miss Melissa, you are... a mercenary..." Wuyue said suddenly.

Melissa's temperament was very familiar to Wuyue, and was exactly the same as Sister Yan.

"...This...Okay, I will tell the truth..." Seeing that she finally couldn't hide it anymore, Melissa had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I am a mercenary, from Campino. My employer hired us to escort him across the desert..."

Mercenaries from Campino? Across the desert?

If you say this to someone who doesn't know, you might be able to fool him, but Wuyue heard this news from Couric.

Among the coalition forces, isn't there a mercenary group from Campino City?

I didn't expect Melissa to be so wary, even at this stage she still had to hide some truth...

"Ms. Melissa, the employer you are talking about cannot be a Batorian..."

"..." Melissa didn't dare to speak anymore after being exposed.

I have tried my best to conceal my identity and purpose, why does this demi-human know everything?

"...Actually, Miss Melissa, you don't have to hide anything, we won't do anything to you..."

"On the contrary, what might we be able to do to help you?"

After being exposed to the master's way of thinking for a long time, Wuyue can already guess some things on his own.

Stone on the side listened quietly to the conversation between Wuyue and Melissa, and secretly praised him.

This girl is not as harmless as she seems. She must have a good teacher...

"... Even if I say so, why can you help me? You can't afford to offend that guy."

Judging from the tone, it must be Melissa’s true thoughts this time.

"How do you know we can't help you if you don't tell us?" Stone said.

"...Okay, then I'll say it."

"I am the leader of the Viper Regiment, Melissa Sandro. This time I represent Campino City and was hired by the great master of Yale in Batoria to participate in the counter-rebellion in Batoria."

"Some unpleasant things happened with my employer on the way, and I escaped, so now I am in a state of breaking the contract and being hunted by him."

"Although I am very grateful for your rescue, I still want to remind you that this is a war, and adventurers like you who are playing house cannot intervene. So now, do you still think you are capable of helping me?"

...Although he knew that Melissa was a member of the coalition forces, he never expected that she was the leader of one of them...

"War... to be honest, the thing we are least afraid of now is war..." Stone said.

"What are you talking about?" Melissa asked confused.

"That's not important, Melissa. There is not much road ahead of you now."

"You can stay with me until you recover and return to your Campino...or..."

"Or what?"

"Or you can join us and kick the slave masters in the butt..."

"Ha! You dwarf must be a lunatic. There are thousands of coalition forces, how can you be like this..."

Melissa felt that Stone was talking crazy, and when she was about to scold him, a loud noise from underneath her interrupted her words.

"Hey, what's this?" Melissa asked.

"Well... what is it? It should be a giant dragon that has been sleeping underground and is about to wake up..." Shi Dong said pretending to be mysterious.

"Girl, put her in the trailer at the door, and let's take her to see the world."

......

Stone's workshop is near the top of the mountain, and it only takes a few minutes to reach the highest point of the mountain.

The loud noises from the bottom of the mountain continued to come, and the rhythmic vibrations kept hitting Melissa's eardrums.

Finally reaching the top, Shi Dong signaled Wu Yue to stop.

Melissa finally saw clearly the source of the loud noise and vibration——

At the foot of the mountain, an iron army slowly emerged from the inside of the mountain. There were many warhammers, axes and spears, and the dense iron armor reflected a silvery white light in the moonlight.

It was a flag that had never been seen before and did not belong to any country today:

The ax and the hammer clashed, creating blazing sparks, and in the background was a lonely mountain standing proudly...
