Chapter 714: I also want to become his student

Chapter 714: I also want to become his student

After a while, Madeline and her group returned to the city.

They had just rushed through the minefield with Swift Wind in just one or two minutes, running nearly a thousand yards to the outer perimeter of the minefield where they found a small group of enemy assassins spreading poisonous mist. Within a few seconds, they took them down and destroyed the enemy's magical device that emitted the poisonous mist.

This brief moment was a matter of life and death, making them more tired than fighting for an hour under normal circumstances. Dragging their weary bodies and the corpses of their enemies, they returned to the city. Upon arriving at the city gates, Madeline lifted her head and asked loudly, "How is the city doing?"

Robb's head popped up from the city wall, making an OK gesture towards her.

Madeline was overjoyed!

Half an hour later, in the conference room, Madeline, Barry, the Black Earth Knights, and Robb were all present. Only poor Kante was not qualified to participate in this level of the discussion and was blocked outside the meeting room. Everyone was gathered around a table, on which lay a communication crystal ball for exclusive use by Madeline and the Queen.

Beside the crystal ball was a strange large box.

The Queen's eyes were locked on the strange large box through the crystal ball, "Is this the magical device that the enemy uses to spread poisonous mist?"

Madeline nodded, "Yes! Mr. Robb had just studied this magical device carefully. It doesn't have any advanced technology. It is simply a large magical container containing the 'poisonous mist technique' charged by the Great Witch Doctor himself. It is almost impossible to use in normal times, and can only be used when the east wind blows."

The Queen's expression was not very good, "This small and low-tech magical device almost wiped out nearly ten thousand of our soldiers in the entire fortress."

The Black Earth Knights' faces were not looking good either. This was really embarrassing. A small group of enemy soldiers almost wiped out everyone in the city, which was really shameful.

After a few seconds of awkwardness, Madeline suddenly said, "Elizabeth, we did lose face this time, but Mr. Robb did not. It was he who made plans to get us through this crisis. The antidote he made also saved many soldiers. He has done such a great job, shouldn't we elevate him to Duke?"

The Queen said, "..."

Having such a friend, the Queen was also unlucky. She didn't even know where to start with her anger.

The Queen had no choice but to say, "Before the big battle starts, the enemy will definitely conduct many small-scale tests. We must be vigilant around the perimeter and not let the enemy easily sneak up to the city for small actions."

Madeline and the Black Earth Knights responded together, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Queen turned to Robb, "Robb Smith."

Robb pretended to be respectful, "What can I do for you, Your Majesty?"

Queen, "I have remembered your contributions in this battle, but I cannot promote you in the same reckless manner as Madeline suggested. I hope you continue to work hard and make more contributions to the kingdom. When it's time for you to be rewarded, I will not treat you unfairly."

Robb pretended to be grateful and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The queen said, "You are very good at using your imagination to create magical tools. I hope you can use your creativity to come up with a way to counter the enemy with magical tools. Like the kind of enemy that can make our army go crazy without even seeing a few of them. I want Mondra to experience it too."

Robb was speechless. Did she think that new inventions were so easy to make? Just because she wants it doesn't mean it's possible.

Of course, he thought this in his mind, but he had to say with a false sense of gratitude, "I will do my best."

The queen was tired and hung up the phone.

The room was filled with people staring at each other...

Madeline said, "Let's all go back to rest. We have strengthened the perimeter defense. The Leopard and Tiger troops are now scattered outside the city. The enemy cannot release poison mist again tonight."

The Black Earth Knights said goodbye and left.

Robb also stood up and said, "I'm going back to my room to make more detoxifying antidotes overnight."

Madeline said softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

They didn't say much, and Robb walked out of the conference hall. At this time, the entire fortress was still filled with a strange atmosphere. The soldiers couldn't sleep because of what had just happened. Many of them were leaning against the windows, looking at the eastern sky, worried that another poisonous mist would float over.

When these people saw Robb, they looked at him with admiration because everyone knew who was responsible for the perfect outcome of the battle just now.

Especially the members of the Wind Knights! Now, when they look at Robb, it's like they're looking at their most respected old captain.

Robb waved to them and walked to the corner of the street where he saw Kante standing there in a daze.

"What's wrong? Brother Kante, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Kante said, "I can't sleep!"

Robb asked, "What's wrong?"

Kante smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Robb, let's talk."

Seeing him like this, Robb followed him to the edge of the city wall, and the two of them leaned on the wall, looking at the night outside the city. Kante said in a low voice, "Before this expedition, I was actually very excited. It was not easy for me to become a knight. I hoped to rely on my own strength to make achievements and revitalize the Chengguang family. But... but as you saw, in two consecutive small battles, I didn't have any role to play, and even caused some ridicule..."

Robb said, "It's not like you can be useful as soon as you go on the battlefield. New recruits have to suffer a bit, don't they? Besides, everyone was laughing at you with good intentions, not malice. Because of your efforts, it also boosted the morale of the team."

"That's not morale, it's stupidity, right?" Kante said, "Besides, aren't you a rookie too? You've shown with your own experience that rookies don't have to be losers. The key is strength. I look like a fool because I'm too weak."

"..." Robb couldn't find words to comfort him. It was a cruel truth.

Suddenly, Kante grabbed Robb's shoulder and shook him. "Brother, how did you manage to become Godfather's student? I also want to learn from him. Can you help me plead with Godfather to take me on as a student? I know I'm stupid, so I don't expect to learn too much. Just a little bit to make me stronger. You know, I'm brave. Although I'm dumb, I'm not afraid to fight. I won't let Godfather down."

This was a difficult request to fulfill!

Robb didn't know how to answer for a moment. He looked at the night outside and pondered, [This is not easy! How can I handle this?]
