On the other hand, Wang clumsily hugged Cai, taking her "wherever she wanted to go."

The two of them didn't exchange any words or even mutter to themselves throughout the journey. Wang couldn't hear Cai's voice and couldn't capture any expression from her lowered face, leaving him feeling somewhat helpless. Even if Wang successfully brought the girl he cared about back, it wouldn't be enough if he didn't understand her feelings. However, the reality before him didn't allow Wang to leisurely guess the thoughts of the opposite sex.

When he snapped out of it, his legs had already brought him, out of habit, to the foot of the deep mountains, which served as their base camp. Just as he was about to step forward, the same canine monster that Cai had encountered a few days ago appeared running down from the mountain. No matter what Wang, a human, thought, creatures with four legs moved at an unbelievable speed.

After seeing his reliable subordinate, Wang was about to greet him when the loud barking of the large dog sounded from above, "Boss, something big's happened, our territory has been invaded. Woof!" Almost simultaneously with the barking of the large dog, the sounds of fighting and metal clashing echoed in the sky.

Wang put Cai down and looked up at the sky, where dozens of shadows were flashing and constantly conflicting with each other like flashing blades. Although many figures were engaged in the conflict, they represented only two different factions. There was no doubt that one faction was composed of humans, all of whom were humans fighting in the sky using Pegasus as their mount. The other faction only had one figure fighting alone, and that figure was Hawky, second in command in the team, next to Wang. She was currently engaged in multiple battles in the sky.

Combining the barking of the large dog just now, Wang could easily understand the situation: "Human soldiers dare to provoke me on my turf? They're quite bold!" "Woof, Boss, now is not the time to say such things. There are too many of those flying enemies. Eagle Sis has already taken down three groups of opponents one after another, but the situation of being surrounded has not improved!" Not only the large dog, but also Wang believed that the other subordinates responsible for defending the mountain were now worried about their struggling companions. Unfortunately, these subordinates were incapable. Only Hawky could fly, so only Hawky could bear the responsibility to fight against the enemies who attacked from the air.

"Let Big Sis come down, I'll treat her injuries!" Cai, who hadn't spoken for a long time, finally spoke up in this instant. Even someone who didn't understand combat like her, who only knew how to use healing magic, could see that Hawky needed treatment. It could be inferred from this that Hawky had been enduring a lot.

In fact, Cai didn't need to intervene. Wang had already planned to replace Hawky and take on the battle himself. However, at this moment, a well-meaning subordinate offered advice: "Boss, you can't fly either. You must have a weapon to handle the upcoming battles." "Yeah, you're right. But this time I didn't bring the usual sword with me, so I can only try once, using 'that sword'..." The image from several months ago flashed in Wang's mind. At that time, a suspicious woman with a veil suddenly appeared before him without clarifying whether she was an enemy or a friend. The only purpose of her appearance was to present him with an inverted cross as a gift.

According to the woman:

This inverted cross can not only be used as a small accessory, but it can also change its size and be used as a sharp long sword. She even demonstrated its uses on the spot.

Although Wang understood how to use it after just one look, he has been avoiding using the inverted cross out of precaution.

But now, the situation is urgent and Wang has no choice but to handle it cautiously;

He must take a chance and believe that the woman is not here to harm him.
