From the moment she kidnapped Erii, she became a roadblock.

The night sky over the Gobi Desert is a deep black, free from light pollution and clouds.

Compared to the rolling yellow sand blown up by the wind during the day, the night was much calmer.

The moon hung alone, casting a silvery-gray outline on the Gobi Desert.

Compared to other places, the nights here are brighter, and you can see quite clearly even without a flashlight.

Of course, this may be because Guan Luo is of mixed race and has better eyesight than the average person.

After a quick wash, Guan Luo and Erii lay down on the bed next to each other and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the large tent in the middle of the camp, the lights were still on all night long.

Minister Schneider led the final arrangements.

With Norma's help, they have caught a glimpse of the group.

Although ground targets can be locked onto via satellite, the other side seems to have corresponding counter-reconnaissance capabilities, appearing and disappearing like ghosts across the Gobi Desert.

In the following days, specialists were continuously dispatched to the Gobi Desert to conduct reconnaissance.

The team from China did not leave; their armored vehicles remained surrounding the camp.

It's unclear whether they're assisting in defense, being on guard against them, or both.

When they first entered the Gobi Desert.

Guan Luo and Erii found the place quite novel and wandered around the camp, picking up various strange stones from the ground from time to time.

But the stone was very fragile in front of them; they crushed it into pieces with just a little force.

In the following days, in order not to waste time, Guan Luo and Erii took out the weapons that the Executive Department had previously provided them with and began training.

Dusk always comes quickly to the Gobi Desert, and the blood-red setting sun paints the sky with a desolate atmosphere.

A circular area behind the camp.

The ground, which was originally covered with rough stones, is now perfectly flat, with the pebbles turned into powder and spread evenly on the ground.

This was clearly not built by human intervention.

"clang--"

A dull metallic clang rang out, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, echoing across the Gobi Desert.

Guan Luo gripped the gray spear tightly with one hand, his feet firmly planted on the solid ground. With a flick of his wrist, he deflected the moon-shaped blade.

It stirred up gusts of air, shaking away all the surrounding sand and gravel.

Erii across from me was wearing a sharp black combat outfit today, with her hair standing up high, except for a few wisps of hair framing her forehead.

Due to the intense fighting, stray hairs were stuck to his fair cheeks with sweat.

The long sword in her hand was shaken high into the air, but Erii did not advance but retreated. She immediately withdrew the shaken blade and slashed at Guan Luo from bottom to top.

A terrifying force swept outwards, with clanging sounds echoing continuously, and sand and stones flying all around.

The circles that formed were created by them stomping on the ground.

The comrades stationed at the camp had long since calmed down from their initial shock.

"Captain Cheng, are the little tyrants of Kyoto as good as them?"

Atop an armored vehicle sat the mixed-race squad from China, watching the two fighting in the distance. One of the team members said this.

The leader was the young man they had seen protecting the middle-aged man at the airport.

"No," said Team Leader Cheng, as the team member had mentioned, with certainty.

That little tyrant with S-class bloodline possesses the Bronze Throne as his Word of Power, and his physical attributes are indeed terrifying. Perhaps he can reach this level after activating his Word of Power.

However, they did not sense any fluctuations of the power of the words from the two people in front of them.

In other words, this terrifying effect was achieved solely through physical means.

"As expected of Kassel College, it produces so many talented people."

Another team member said this.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something immediately.

"Wait a minute? Don't these two look like Chinese people? They're both Chinese, so how did they end up at Kassel College?"

The team member asked a series of questions, which were also the doubts in the minds of some of them.

"Although several families here have descendants studying there, these two seem to have never heard of it."

But no one could answer his question because they knew nothing about Guan Luo and Erii.

After practice, during today's battle, Guan Luo already felt that his control over the spear had slightly improved.

[Basic Gunplay] Skill Level: LV.2

Skill effect: Increases damage by 4% and hit rate by 2% when using spears.

The marksmanship skill level has reached level two. This improvement seems slight, but it only took a few days. However, such an improvement is already quite terrifying.

Guan Luo and Erii walked back, intending to take a shower first to wash away the dust and sweat.

Ignoring the sweat on Guan Luo's body, Erii wrapped her arms around Guan Luo's neck from behind.

Guan Luo understood, and with both hands he supported Erii's thighs and carried her on his back, Erii's head resting against Guan Luo's firm back.

After all, his bloodline is what it is. He didn't train before, but after just a few days of training, the muscles on Guan Luo's back have already started to show.

It wasn't the kind of muscular build, but rather iron chains as tough as steel, intertwined and coiled together.

Guan Luo's temperament now possesses a sharper, more piercing quality.

Spearmen aren't particularly lucky, since it's said that spearmen have always been unlucky.

Rumors are just rumors; Guan Luo uses whatever he finds convenient.

However, before they even stepped into the camp area today, they were stopped by a group of uninvited guests.

"Hey, are you Chinese?"

"The task force leader, Cheng Yan, spoke up."

Cheng Yan didn't try to hide it; instead, she asked them directly.

Based on their observations over the past few days, although Guan Luo and Erii hold a special position in the camp and are often watched by others, they don't seem to be protected like secret weapons as they had imagined.

Guan Luo looked in the direction of the voice and recognized the person.

But because he couldn't speak, he pointed to his mouth and waved his hand to indicate that he couldn't speak.

A small team of six people, a combination of four men and two women, had already arrived in front of them while they were talking.

Cheng Yan understood Guan Luo's meaning and felt somewhat helpless.

Although they had personal translation equipment, they were powerless to help someone who was mute.

But he persisted and asked:

"Are you Chinese?"

Guan Luo thought for a moment, then nodded. He then pointed to Erii on his back to indicate that she was not Erii.

After all, the China in the novel is still China, just in a different time and space, and it has extraordinary elements.

From a distance, the staff from Kassel College noticed that someone had made contact with Guan Luo and Erii, and that they were already moving in this direction.

Cheng Yan pursed his lips. It seemed that Kassel College was providing quite a high level of protection for these two.

Although we didn't get any information out of them, at least we learned that the other person was Chinese, so maybe we can follow the clues to find out their background.
