Chapter Thirty-One: The Stunning Beauty

  Lei En carefully studied the rearranged terrain map of Luo Feng Mountain, while Lades occasionally explained and Xiao Pang demonstrated with gestures.

  Not far away, a fierce fight was going on between Russ and Dakota, with the soldiers watching occasionally cheering.

  Suddenly, a patrol soldier came rushing from afar towards Lain, looking flustered and panting heavily.

  "Captain Laine, someone is looking for you!" The soldier stuttered a bit as he spoke, his eyes shining with excitement, as if...

  Rainer slowly stood up, twisting his head to stare at the soldier who came to report the message, tightly staring at him with great suspicion.

  "Captain, it's a beautiful woman, an absolute beauty. She specifically asked for you by name. Ah, yes, they came from the mountain and are just nearby by the small stream up ahead. There's also a little girl with her named Sally, yeah, that's right, Sally. She says she knows you too." The soldier finally finished his report and let out a long sigh of relief.

  "Absolute beauty? And Sally too? Oh, come on, take me over there. Rades, little fatty, you two reminisce about the good old days, I'll listen to your report later." Rayn instructed, following the soldier towards the stream.

  The blonde girl Sally was still in her hunting attire, carrying a bow and arrow on her back, with a short knife in her hand, fully alert and vigilantly gazing at the several patrolling soldiers in front of her.

  At this time, the beautiful woman beside Sally was like a fairy descending from heaven. She wore an ordinary blue long dress, but it couldn't hide her perfect and unparalleled figure. Her black shiny long hair cascaded down to her waist, her clear and transparent black eyes sparkled, her curved eyebrows arched upwards, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. Her white skin glowed with a faint pink hue, and her thin lips were as delicate as rose petals. She was gazing at Rain with an enigmatic smile, leaving him stunned and speechless like a foolish pig, his mouth agape for half a day, unable to utter a word due to excitement.

  "It's too beautiful, it's absolutely stunning, just like a fairy descending to the mortal world...” Reyn's emotions were surging, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. Another thing was that the stunning beauty in front of him was actually an Eastern beauty with black hair and yellow skin, which was also one of the main reasons why he was especially surprised. In this unfamiliar imperial era, how could he not be excited to see someone from his own hometown?

  "Are you Captain Laine?" She slightly moved her cherry lips, and her voice was as beautiful as the music of the heavens.

  "Ah? Oh, yes, I'm Rain. What can I do for you?" Rain regained his composure and resumed a calm demeanor, gazing straight at the stunning beauty in front of him with an air of military bearing.

  "Captain Laine, didn't you promise me? If we're in trouble, to come to you anytime, have you forgotten?" Sally said with a somewhat unhappy expression, pouting her mouth angrily.

  "Of course, of course, at your service anytime, Sally sister!" Rayn said with a bit of embarrassment. By this time, the patrolling soldiers had already left, and only the three of them were left by the stream, but his face was like it was on fire, feeling slightly hot and embarrassed.

  "Aunt Emily, I didn't say wrong, did I? They will keep their promise." The blonde girl Sally jumped up excitedly, put the short knife into her blue boots, and quickly came to her aunt's side, hugging her arm and smiling at her.

  "Little Sally, of course Auntie believes you, you're an honest kid." Emily said warmly, gently stroking Sally's brown short hair, her eyes darting towards Renn, the somewhat absent-minded Renn, and her last words seemed to be directed at him.

  As an imperial soldier, he was unexpectedly defeated by a little kid, and Rain's heart was painfully bleeding. In fact, he had been blaming himself for this period of time, feeling extremely depressed. What he didn't expect was that Sally came so quickly, the imperial soldier lost all face, and when facing the beauty's strange gaze again, he felt ashamed.

  After a conversation, Lain understood that their purpose of coming down the mountain this time was to ask for their help in getting through a difficult period in their village.

  "Uh-huh!" Ray nodded in agreement, effectively consenting to their request.

  "Thank you, thank you!" Emily and Sally looked at each other with a smile, gazing gratefully at Rain, with Emily's eyes shining with approval.

  "Emily, we have 300 soldiers, all of them are big and tall, if we enter your village, isn't it a bit inconvenient? You are all..." Rayn said with some difficulty.

  "Captain Renn, don't worry, we'll take care of it." Emily said with a faint smile.

  "Alright, let's get going soon!" Reyn said with conviction.

  "Thank you, Captain Raine! Sally, stay here for now, I'll head back to the village and get ready. Remember, don't cause any trouble while you're here." After Emily gave Sally some instructions, she bid farewell to Raine and headed up the mountain. Watching Emily's elegant figure disappear into the distance, Raine's heart swelled with emotion once again, and he couldn't help but praise her in his mind.

  "Captain Laine! Captain Laine!" Sally called out softly, her hands still waving in front of her eyes.

  "Oh, Sally, what's wrong?" Rayn asked, coming to his senses.

  "Hehe, are you thinking of making a move on my aunt?" Sally was small but had a big personality and seemed to understand this aspect very well, as if she saw right through his thoughts.

  "Where...where...where is it?" Lain's face turned slightly red, looking a bit embarrassed, and he hastily explained.

  "Heh heh, I've got some good news for you. My aunt is still single, and she's 20 years old this year. She's also the temporary village chief of our village, Luoxia Village. Heh heh, but there's also some bad news... my aunt has really high standards when it comes to choosing a partner, and..." The blonde girl Sally didn't pay any attention to Rain's excuses, and started talking non-stop, as if she was encouraging Rain to pursue her aunt Emily.

  "Ah!" Reyn nodded mechanically, but in his heart he began to think of ways to win Emily's favor. He liked Julia only because the residual memories of his original body's owner were haunting him, and now his subconscious still had a preference for having an Eastern woman like Emily.

  "Captain Renn, are you listening?" Sally said for half a day, realizing that Renn's heart was not on it, and finally stopped.

  "Listen, listen. Now the situation is urgent, let's gather our troops and go up the mountain first!" Lain explained, facing this 14 or 15-year-old little girl, he really didn't dare to offend her.

  "Oh dear, I almost forgot what's important!" Sally patted her little head, complaining in an adorable manner.

  At this time, Lain hurriedly rushed to the temporary military camp, Sally followed closely behind. The patrolling soldiers received the captain's order and sounded an emergency assembly horn.

  "Come on, Russia..."

  "Fill 'er up in Dakota..."

  ??“……”

  Rousse and Dakota were still fiercely fighting, covered in sweat and panting heavily, but they continued on. The shouts of the soldiers around them grew louder, even drowning out the sound of the bugle.

  "Captain Renn, is this what your soldiers are like?" Sally said in great disappointment.

  "Ah!" Rain said somewhat awkwardly, then quickly pushed through the crowded people and came to the center of the scene. Sally followed closely behind him.

  "Rus, Dakota, you two stop it!" Rayn shouted loudly, his appearance causing the soldiers to scatter and quickly gather their troops, but Rus and Dakota were still entangled with each other.

  "What are you doing? Are you wrestling?" Sally raised her head, looking at the two men who were still tangled together, their arms crossed and unable to exert any strength, with a curious expression on her face, her eyes blinking from time to time.

  "What? Sally?" The two of them were stunned for a few seconds when they saw Sally, quickly parted ways and ran towards the emergency assembly point as if they had seen a ghost.

  At this time, Lain sighed in frustration. As the captain, he was not as good as a 14 or 15-year-old girl. He let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

  "Brothers, for the safety of our border city, we have come to Luo Feng Mountain to suppress bandits. The robbers are elusive and their lair is as secure as a fortress, making it easy to defend but hard to attack. Now there's an opportunity to suppress them, that is to protect..." Rayn briefly explained his plan to station troops in Luoxia Village, unexpectedly the soldiers were all very supportive, with surprisingly good results.

  Facing these charging soldiers who were born to die, Lain felt a thousand emotions and after just a few seconds, Lain was left speechless.

  "For the sisters of Luoxia Village, we cannot shirk our responsibility!"

  "Captain, give the order quickly, we can't wait any longer, wait..."

  ??“……”

  The soldiers' morale was high, with cheers and shouts filling the air. Even Lades and Xiao Pangzi, who had just joined the army, were excitedly waving their rusty short knives. Everyone couldn't wait to enter Luoxia Village.

  "You, you, you..." Reynn pointed at the soldiers in front of him, so angry that he couldn't speak. Reynn had thought that the soldiers were excited about the bandit-hunting operation, but it turned out that they were all rushing to the women on the mountain.

  "Hahaha......" The soldiers burst into laughter again, and the team still maintained its neat formation.

  "Depart!" Rayn gave the order.

  Under Sally's leadership, the soldiers wore iron helmets, carried shields, held crossbows, and formed a long line of over 300 people, rushing up the mountain in a mighty manner.
