The "weapon" in front of him suddenly speaking also greatly surprised the King of the Carrion Eaters.
As a ghoul, he could vouch that this thing in front of him had no flesh, no heartbeat, nothing a normal life should possess!
But this thing, which didn't even have vocal organs, could speak and claimed to be Brozkarst, the last pure-blooded Wendigo.
Just as he was shocked by this, he suddenly felt a powerful creature appear behind him.
Turning his head, he saw a girl who looked young but exerted immense pressure on him.
While circling, Kanna had already recognized this Roadblocker, the "King of the Carrion Eaters" who had scared Warfarin into shouting about where MON3TR was.
Although he worked for Theresis, he didn't harbor much ill will towards Rhodes Island.
This was also why Kanna didn't attack him after circling behind him but instead appeared directly... After a moment of silence, the King of the Carrion Eaters asked, "Can you tell me, the last pure-blooded Wendigo, why you have become like this...?"
Patriot shook his weapon. "I have never been proud of my bloodline. As for the change in my appearance, I don't care about it. As long as I am alive and can contribute to the Infected of Ursus, I believe that is enough."
After hearing Patriot's words, the King of the Carrion Eaters fell silent again... He suddenly turned and walked away. "You may go... Kazdel will not hinder your steps, nor will anyone else obstruct your actions..."
After speaking, the King of the Carrion Eaters disappeared from everyone's sight at an extremely fast speed. "Captain... what do we do next?" Being stopped by a mysterious strong person right after entering Kazdel made everyone feel uneasy.
"Don't worry! That guy is one of the ten Court leaders of Kazdel, a top-tier figure in Kazdel. He said we would have unobstructed passage, so neither his people nor ordinary Sarkaz will come to intercept us. However, other Courts are unpredictable. So we just need to pass through Kazdel quickly."
Kanna raised her hand and patted Ivan's waist, speaking with a confident tone.
"You know a lot about the Sarkaz?" Patriot was curious about Kanna's confident words.
"Why not? Rhodes Island and Kazdel have deep roots. I've seen in the archives that Rhodes Island's predecessor came from Kazdel. Information about this country is arguably the most abundant at Rhodes Island."
Kanna wasn't lying about this point; Rhodes Island, inheriting the legacy of Babel, indeed had a wealth of intelligence on Kazdel, including personnel information from top to bottom, covering almost all notable figures of the past century.
Patriot was noncommittal about Kanna's statement, because even in the Ursus wilderness, he had heard of Lady Kal'tsit's immense prestige in Kazdel.
Therefore, when Kanna said she knew a lot about Kazdel, Patriot didn't have any doubts.
"Then we must quicken our pace. If one person from the Court can find us, then there will be a second and a third. No one can guarantee that the people we face next will be as reasonable as this one."
After returning to the team, accompanied by Patriot's words, the team continued to advance.
However, everyone's pace quickened considerably.
A week later, after an urgent march, the team arrived at the border not far from Siracusa.
"Then we are ready to return. The subsequent escort will be handled by Misery and your teams."
Rhodes Island arranged for Misery to bring two squads and three reserve teams to rotate with Sharp's and Saria's squads, as well as the A1A4 reserve team remaining there.
Kanna would also return with them.
At this time, Kanna was saying goodbye to many people she had met along the way. As she passed Big Bob, she slapped her forehead.
"Oh, no! I almost forgot!"
Kanna took out the little rabbit ornament Popukar had given her from her embrace and handed it to Big Bob.
"Popukar said she hopes to see you again at Rhodes Island next time."
Big Bob carefully took the adorable little ornament and tucked it into his embrace.
"Thank you. Once I'm successfully settled, I'll go to Rhodes Island as promised. Then, I'll treat you all to beer... or juice?" He had originally intended to say he'd treat them to his special craft beer next time they met, but suddenly remembering that Popukar and Kanna were underage, he rephrased.
The convoy slowly began to move towards Rhodes Island. Kanna, excited to finally be going home, jumped onto the roof of the vehicle.
After the vehicles had traveled some distance, Kanna saw a person several kilometers away moving in the direction she had come from.
Even from a great distance, she could smell a bloody scent on him. As she watched him, she noticed he was also looking in her direction.
"Blood Demon Lord."
In just an instant, Kanna recalled his title.
And the place he was heading to was naturally where Patriot and the Refugees were located.
If it were a one-on-one fight, the Blood Demon Lord wouldn't be able to gain any advantage against the current Patriot, as almost none of his abilities would be effective against Patriot.
But with so many Refugees, and so many people from Rhodes Island and Reunion Movement there, these individuals would be very difficult for a legendary vampire like him to deal with.
As soon as she thought of this, Kanna pushed off with her legs.
"You all go ahead, I'm going to find something to eat!"
Before Sharp in the vehicle could react, Kanna vanished from above.
However, Kanna had gone hunting alone before, so he wasn't worried. He simply contacted Saria via communicator and grumbled,
"It hasn't even been two hours since lunch, and Kanna has run off hunting again. I wonder what she'll bring back this time..."
Saria looked in the direction Kanna had left, her brow slightly furrowed.
Kanna's departure didn't look like she was going hunting; instead, she was heading in a very specific direction, and her movements were urgent, as if there was something she absolutely had to do.
"You all continue forward. I'll wait here for Kanna for a bit..." Saria patted the driver next to her, signaling him to slow down, then moved to the back of the convoy.
"Alright! Then we'll meet up in the town thirty kilometers ahead. Be careful with everything." Sharp looked at the stopped Saria through the rearview mirror, then gazed in the direction Kanna had disappeared. He also sensed that something was slightly off, but based on his confidence in Kanna's combat ability, he chose not to stop.
After all, if Kanna couldn't defeat someone, their presence would only be a liability. If she could, then their presence would be a waste of time.
