บท 501: Courier

The Dragon King had disappeared. It was not until seven or eight days after he left the barracks that his people started to realize that he was missing when he needed to be there the most.

Most people believed that the Dragon King left to look for reinforcements to rescue the army, but there were different guesses as to where he had gone. The most likely place was Wushan since the tribes in the mountain had not yet gotten involved in the war officially and were most likely to provide a large number of troops. The most optimistic view was that the Dragon King was having a secret talk with the Central Plains. There was also a more exaggerated claim that the Dragon King was going to invite the magic warriors from the sea.

Even though Commander Dugu Xian looked calm, he was more anxious than anyone else. Whenever someone mentioned the Dragon King, he always nodded confidently, as if he had some secret plans with him.
