78: Linlin, you're still too strong.

"Those cunning Demon Race members bribed the officials and soldiers of the Kodo Beast Outpost, understanding the situation of the Outpost's city even better than their own cities. Moreover, there were even Demon Race spies among Keith's guards. These traitors deserve to be sliced into a thousand pieces!" Rutgar's green eyes were practically spitting fire as he spoke furiously. Suddenly realizing he was in front of Wei He, he quickly suppressed his anger.

"That's true. Without internal help, no matter how capable they are, it would be impossible to so accurately and swiftly capture the highest leader of a region!" Wei He said calmly after learning the answer. At the same time, he sighed internally, grateful that his Red Alert Troops were completely loyal to him and would never cause such a situation.

That night, Wei He was resting in the room Rutgar had arranged for him when suddenly, a knock sounded outside the door.

"Lord Wei He, we are the ones Lord Rutgar sent to serve you, mhm!" When Wei He opened the door, he saw three lightly dressed Female Wolves standing outside, speaking seductively to him.

"No, no need, thank you!" Wei He frantically waved his hands, saying with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.

The three Female Wolves looked at Wei He with captivating eyes, posing alluringly and deliberately exposing their thighs and chests for him to see.

"You should go back first. I am contemplating battle plans, do not disturb me!" Wei He's tone was very serious, as if he genuinely had something important to do.

Wei He quickly shut the door, patting his little heart. The thought of their entire bodies being covered in fur gave him a shiver of disgust. It seemed he still preferred hairless, fair-skinned human women.

"Knock, knock." Just as Wei He closed the door, the knocking sounded again. Wei He snapped impatiently, "Go away, don't disturb me!"

"Wei He, it's me. What's wrong? Open the door!" Linlin's sweet and lovely voice rang out from outside the door.

"Linlin, why is it you? I thought it was...!" Wei He opened the door and looked at Linlin, who was wearing a green dress and whose bright eyes were blinking rapidly. He spoke hesitantly.

"Thought what? Tell me?" Linlin pouted her pink cherry lips and asked curiously.

"Nothing. Did you come here for something?" Wei He gave an awkward smile and immediately asked Linlin.

"Why are you acting so strange today? Never mind. I came to invite you to a ball. Rutgar said there's a dance party, and we can go have some fun. Maybe there will be some handsome young men!" Linlin's silvery voice rang out. Coupled with her cute mouth, beautiful eyes, and fair skin—especially compared to the three Female Wolves just now—Wei He stared at her, momentarily stunned.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Are you coming or not?" Linlin puffed out her fair little cheeks and asked, feigning anger, "Are you thinking about those things?"

"Oh, no. Linlin, you have to remember this is the Magical Beast Empire. Their handsome young men are also handsome young men covered in fur. Are you sure you can accept that?" Wei He quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and pretended to speak casually.

"Yes, I can! They're fluffy, how cute! Hehehe, if you're not going, I'll go by myself!" Linlin said with a mischievous smile, watching Wei He wipe the corner of his mouth.

"Alright, be careful and have fun!" Wei He watched Linlin's retreating figure, her round, perky backside, and her long, slender legs. A slight ripple stirred in Wei He's heart.

"Ah! No, I must hurry up and cultivate. I need to become a master as soon as possible!" Wei He closed the door, patted his head, and tried hard to bring his thoughts back to normal.

Early the next morning, Wei He woke up from his bed. He had fallen asleep halfway through his practice the previous day. Cultivation truly was difficult.

Wei He opened the door and stretched, intending to go to the dining hall for breakfast. Just as he reached Linlin's doorway, her door suddenly opened.

Wei He stared in shock at the scene inside the room. Linlin saw Wei He and greeted him, "Wei He, morning! Are you going to breakfast too?"

"No, no. Ah, I left something in my room. I'll go look for it!" Wei He said sheepishly. He certainly didn't dare go to breakfast with Linlin right now.

Wei He watched the disheveled Linlin, who was holding a furry Wolfman in each hand, with another Wolfman following behind her. Her dress was ripped to shreds, revealing flashes of skin underneath. Her glowing white skin was deeply imprinted in Wei He's mind, making it obvious how fierce the battle had been last night.

"It's a good thing Linlin's room was far away from mine. Otherwise, how tormented I would have been last night! I definitely wouldn't have been able to sleep because of the noise!" Wei He muttered to himself as he walked back. "Even Wolfmen... Linlin, you are still too powerful!"

After Linlin finished breakfast and the troops were ready, the group resumed their march. The rest of the journey was like entering a zoo, with Goatmen—creatures with sheep heads, human hands and feet, walking upright—and various other animals of this type. For some reason, Wei He's first thought was whether Linlin could also handle these types. Thinking this, Wei He felt that he was too wicked.

Rutgar also set off with the main army to support the friendly forces on the front line. He led his three thousand Armored Soldiers at the end of the procession.

Finally, the group stopped at the Kodo Beast Hills. According to Rutgar, once they passed the Kodo Beast Hills, they would reach the Kodo Beast Outpost, which was currently occupied by the Demon Race.

Wei He stood on a small hill, looking at the isolated city on the open ground ahead. It was extremely quiet, not at all like a place where a war was being fought.

"Didn't you say that fierce fighting was happening at the Kodo Beast Outpost? Why is it so quiet?" Wei He looked at Rutgar with confusion in his eyes and asked.

"Lord, you may not know this! The Demon Race rarely fights during the day. Although they captured Lord Keith, when the Demon Race occupied the Kodo Beast Outpost, they still met fierce resistance from the Beastmen. Therefore, they hide during the day and come out at night, using overwhelming Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss to attack the Beastmen's positions. The Beastmen have no choice but to retreat first and reclaim the ground during the day!" Rutgar calmly explained to Wei He.

"Can't you find their hiding place?" Wei He continued to ask Rutgar.

"If only we could find it! They come every night and retreat before dawn. In the pitch-black environment, we have no idea where they go. They are like it's daytime at night and don't even need torches. It's already hard to judge their direction of escape, and they even leave Bloodthirsty Demon Wormss to cover their retreat. Just dealing with those bugs is exhausting enough!" Rutgar said, his eyes full of guilt.

"It's fine. We'll see after dark tonight. We will definitely find them!" Wei He said confidently, patting his chest toward Rutgar.

"If we could find them, that would be great. We could fight them in a decisive battle and drive them out completely in one go!" Rutgar said emotionally, looking at Wei He's confident eyes.

"Alright, order the troops to set up camp and cook, rest well, and prepare for the battle tonight. Also, send someone into the city to inform the Beastmen inside not to accidentally injure our friendly forces!" Wei He instructed Rutgar on the specific deployment details.

Of course, the Red Alert Troops didn't need to cook. This instruction was primarily for Rutgar's three thousand Armored Soldiers. The Red Alert Troops are powered by the Red Alert Base, and one power supply can last for several months. They are tireless and fearless of death, arguably the best and most capable soldiers in the world.
