When everyone had boarded the deck, the War Steed slowly ascended and then flew toward the Lake East Shore of Red Water Lake.
He Nan was right about one thing, due to Rocky's bombardment for an entire day, the West Bank of Red Water Lake was infested with demons, and since Rocky had ordered the cessation of further attacks, the demons, having lost their target, began to roam constantly along the shore.
In such circumstances, indeed, only an airship could reach the East Shore; otherwise, it would be courting death.
However, due to the vast size of Red Water Lake, being twice as large as Kasin City, and given that the journey from the West Bank to the East Shore was the longest straight-line distance, even the War Steed took a long time to fly. During this time, Rocky chatted with He Nan for a bit.
"How long have you been living here?"
Standing at the bow with He Nan, Rocky asked while they both looked at the bloodstained lake surface.
