Bab 71: Chapter 071 Whispering Night and Departure

No matter what, the battle was over, and Richard prepared to leave.

"Lord Richard, are you leaving now?" Gro spoke, his voice tinged with concern, "If you leave now, what if those people come back... what then?"

"You'll have to figure it out yourself," Richard replied indifferently. "After all, I can't protect you forever.

Once it's daylight, leave the forest and head back to the Royal Capital as fast as you can. Then you'll be safe."

"But I'm afraid something might happen on the way," Gro said, his eyes flickering, "With the matter of Count Vick before, I'm worried there might be people in the group who are against me."
