CHAPTER 15: WATCHER (2)

Everything is busy packing the supplies they need in the expedition or preparing the horse they will use in the journey, and even checking the carriage if they have a defect that may cause some hindrance to the team when they were in the middle of traveling.

They were hastily moving back and forth from one place to another, carrying the things that the search and rescue team needed,the other people responsible for the logistics can be heard shouting from time to time giving orders to the humans wearing tattered clothes with skinny bodies where they will put the things they were carrying.

In the birds-eye view, you could clearly see that they were not different from the ants working nonstop for the colony; you can't even see a single person stop and take a little break even for a second.

Amidst this hectic atmosphere, a man wearing leather armor that only covers his vitals, like neck, wrist, abdomen, chest, shoulder, and knee's

all in all he wasn't wearing any fancy things like metal plates and chain mail to protect his life. He was only carrying a single sword at his waist, and there's nothing more noticeable weapon nor protection you could see.

" I've already informed the logistics team that your group will come along with us as a whole group of search and rescue team "

" already lieutenant Chris? lieutenant brald was just on his way to request some approval to the Colonel "

" Nahh!! Aeron the Colonel only make request to any willing team to make some search and rescue team and investigate what really happened to the vanguard team so the Colonel dont have any reason to make a fuse and declined brald's request "

" what if the Colonel didn't give his approval, the hardwork of the logistics team may just turn in vain.... "

" Speaking of the devil... "

Lieutenant Chris turns his head, seeing a young man running towards them.

Brald was in a rush towards the place where his squad was gathering alongside the leading team intended to make preparation and depart this morning.

" welcome, lieutenant brald.. "

when brald was already near them, Chris patted Bralds back

" all the things you and your team need is already preparing by the logistics team as of now, we will wait for all of you to get fully prepared "

" thank you lieutenant Chris "

Brald responded with full of appreciation to the good will of Chris toward his team.

" hmm.... "

Chris just nods in response and turns around to make his exit.

" Don't worry Brald if the Colonel put some pranks to you, just dont mind it. he was always like to that on everyone hahahahaha "

Chris added before completely walking away.

" Hahaha... thank you again lieutenant Chris "

Even though lieutenant Chris didn't reply, brald was still smiling genuinely at his back.

Chris is the one who requested to Colonel if he has time to meet Brald, and not only that, Chris is assisting his team's preparation without discrimination for the whole time.

" are you all ready? "

" yes sir! we were just waiting for the supplies... here is the dimensional ring sir "

Aeron offered a ring with a blue gem with a mysterious engraving of a different thickness that looks like an entangled vine connecting the ring and the gemstone.

" lieutenant Chris gave it to me a while ago, in case you will comeback and he was not around at that moment, sir. "

Then brald just replied with a grateful nod.

" sir all the supplies for your team were already prepared "

A woman part of the logistics team came near Brald respectfully with sparkling eyes of amazement towards the handsome young lieutenant.

" Ohh, can you lead us there? "

Brald nonchalantly asks without minding the gaze of a blushing youthful woman in front of him.

" ..... "

The youthful woman was so enchanted by the brown hair and eyebrows of Brald that it looks like a lion's mane, and it gives him wild airs surrounding his body that contrast to his angelic face and masculine jawline with a pointy nose.

Every woman who can see Brald can't hold back their urge to take him so that they could offer him with all the things they have in possession without any exception, even their body.

" woman my lieutenant is talking to you "

The strict voice of Aeron that has an aggressive tone snap back the youthful women to reality.

" ahh... yess..., follow me husband "

the youthful woman can't turn back her sparkling eyes to brald she was still looking at him so intently without blinking with a face that looked like she had just recently drunk a whole bottle of wine.

" miss? "

This time Brald also noticed that the woman in front of them was not into her proper self, so he decided to look at her.

" I..... I'm sorry lieutenant..... please follow me "

The woman became flustered to the intense look of brald at her, and she was so shy to meet his eyes because her heart was pounding crazily at this moment she's afraid that brald might hear her heartbeat even though they were in a noisy place.

" ohh it's okay "

Even though brald follows her without caring what she's thinking. This simple kind of act and short words of Brald put a lot of warmness to her heart that makes her more indulge in a fantasy that Brald was spending almost all of his time with her romantically.

In that instant, the woman already imagined her whole life as a wife of Brald and watching their kids grow with a satisfied look.

" Is this our supplies? "

The calm voice of Brald wakes her up in reality.

" ahh... uhmm... yeah mr. lieutenant these were all the supplies intended for you whole group "

" ohh... "

Then Brald touched a substantial wooden box comparable to an eight carriage, and it was two times taller than him.

- zzzzt -

When he touches the huge box containing all their supplies, the mysterious engraving on the ring of Brald gives a mystical blue glow, and the colossal box shrink like it was engulfed by. a black hole until it disappears entirely.

" are all the soldiers were ready?"

" yes sir i already ordered them to get in the carriage and ready to depart at any moment "

Aeron replied to Brald.

In Trulace Empire culture, especially in the military. They were using a dimensional ring to take advantage of the battlefield. Usually, the one carrying this kind of ring is entitled to be the strongest among their whole squad so that the food of the soldiers on the battlefield is secured to the enemy's hands.

" we needed to go right now its was quite embarrassing for lieutenant Chris weve already leave them waiting for us "

When brald put down his hand, the dimensional ring that holds all their supplies turned transparent to make it hidden.

Then Aeron and Brald strode fastly towards their carriage and left the youthful women still fascinated by the charm of Brald.

" Good morning, lieutenant Brald and hundred men team Aeron."

A soldier with a stoic stance greeted Brald and Aeron with a salute.

" Good morning lack "

Greeted back by Brald before stepping inside the carriage.

" good morning "

Aeron also greeted him with a respectful nod before following brald on the inside of the carriage.

Then lack closes its door before climbing to the compartment where the coachman guides the horses and maneuver the carriage.

" hyaaa "

Lack hit the horses with his whip and flapped the rope that controls the horse. Still, before the horses took steps, a black-eyed bunny jumped on the shadow drawn by the carriage. Surprisingly, the bunny's eye turned back to its original brown color; however, the shadow of the carriage became significantly darker than usual. When it happens, Brald suddenly flinches while sitting on the inside.

' oh he can still sense me? what a troublesome lad, i need to be more lay low '

Then the shadow became slightly lighter than almost like a typical shadow, but it was still evident it was darker than usual.

" what happen sir?"

Aeron asks Brald because of his sudden reaction.

" ... its nothing.... "

Brald was still quite reluctant, but he let it pass when his senses wholly relaxed.

" lets go "

Aeron knocks on the window where lack is driving.

" lack lets go. "

" yesss... hyaaa "

Then the carriage slowly took its pace and departed outside the camp without anyone noticing what had happened.
