The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Chapter 1607 - 456: The Demon King's Most Human Episode_3

Under Luo Yan's watchful eye, she forced herself to suppress the myriad emotions in her heart, washed away the grime from her face, then realigned her emotions and steadfastly continued walking toward the direction of the camp.

She carried the hopes of her brothers and all her citizens on her shoulders. She must win this war and end the Chaos Corrosion ravaging the Twilight Province...

At any cost!

Looking at the disappearing figure on the forest path and the heavy footprints left behind, Luo Yan slightly breathed a sigh of relief and softly said to the Youyou beside him.

"We should reveal ourselves too."

He would go to console her.

But not using the name Luo Yan, instead using the alias "Colin."

A vividly colored butterfly fluttered away from the shadows of the trees, and at the same time, Luo Yan's figure disappeared into the shadows, replaced by an illusion a dozen kilometers away.

That place wasn't far from Campbell's camp.

The news of Erin's disappearance hadn't spread yet, and the majority of the soldiers were celebrating the victory of the day, with hearty laughter mixed with the faint sound of dwarves playing the bagpipes echoing from the campfire.

Thanos had long been waiting here, and he had prepared an exhausted horse for his respected Majesty.

Now, the role Luo Yan was to play was that of Colin, who had just disembarked at Thunder City's port and had ridden swiftly to the front line...

"Halt! Who goes there?"

The patrolling sentry swiftly noticed Colin, who was riding alone toward the camp, and immediately took down the firearm from his back, shouting sternly.

Here, in the pitch-dark, they naturally couldn't recognize Colin's identity, only feeling that he had an extraordinary aura, clearly someone of significance, and thus felt a bit uneasy, fearing he was a noble, so they didn't dare aim the gun muzzle at him either.

Luo Yan abruptly reined in the horse, the battle-worn horse beneath him let out a weary neigh, and he loudly shouted to the soldiers.

"Roxey Colin! I am the Prince of Colin Duchy! Please convey to your General Erin Campbell that I am here to find her!"

The soldiers present had of course heard of Colin's name, but none had thought that the noble Prince would actually appear here.

Wasn't he overseas?

That place, Kao Continent or something.

Of course, after the recent great storm incident, this name seemed to have become Gana Continent, as a Lizardman realm called the Gutaf United Kingdom preferred this new name.

Just as everyone was unsure of what to do, a powerful voice suddenly emanated from the camp entrance.

"Are you Colin?"

Following the voice, Luo Yan saw a heavily armored dwarf, with his beard woven into several braids, striding towards him.

Unlike the Hell Dwarves who shaved their heads, this guy was quite hairy, the eyes above his beard as large as bronze bells.

Luo Yan looked at him and said cautiously.

"I am Colin... May I ask who you are?"

"Quentin Copper Furnace!"

The dwarf walked up to him and heavily hammered his chest with his gauntlet, his voice booming, "I am the Lord of the High Mountain Kingdom! By the order of my king, I've come to support the Northern Relief Army in quelling the rebellion in Twilight Province, and to annihilate Chaos' Apostle!"

"Pleasure to meet you, Lord of the High Mountain Kingdom."

Luo Yan immediately executed a standard courtesy of the Imperial Nobles, and Quentin responded with the nobles' etiquette of the Dwarf Kingdom.

Although the two met for the first time, they both sensed the calm demeanor of the strong in each other, and the weighty lineage behind them.

Though he seldom interacted with human nobles, Quentin could see that this Mr. Colin was indeed a true Imperial Noble.

Anyway, he was quite confident in that.

"Erin is in the camp... Please, follow me, I'll take you to see her." Quentin shifted his barrel-like body, awkwardly making a gesture of invitation.

Even though Luo Yan knew Erin wasn't there, he pretended not to know and followed behind him into the nearby command tent.

The command tent was empty, with only a brazier and a table, and a military map spread out on the table.

As soon as they entered the tent, Quentin dismissed the others, and before Colin could inquire further, a hint of seriousness appeared on his frank face.

"Mr. Colin, forgive my bluntness, you've come at a bad time."

Luo Yan was taken aback.

"What do you mean..."

Quentin said in a deep voice.

"Princess Aileen...has disappeared."

"Disappeared?! How could that be!" Luo Yan's eyes widened, full of disbelief, like a bolt from the blue.

"During the day, in her decisive battle with the Chaos Chosen... To prevent affecting the morale of the army, we've locked down the information, hoping you can keep it secret." Quentin looked at him.

From the genuine anxiety, he could feel that this person was not lying. He indeed was a friend of Princess Aileen, and their relationship wasn't shallow.

Before this, he had heard Erin mention this Prince Colin more than once. It was said that he was a very noble and kind gentleman, a moral paragon.

Now meeting in person, this gentleman indeed appeared to be full of charisma.

However...

The shock brought by Erin's disappearance overwhelmed him, standing in place dazed for a long while, unable to snap out of it.

After a while, his tightly closed lips squeezed out a hoarse and trembling voice.

That was from anger, trembling!

"Are you... just going to leave her like that?"

"How could we."

Quentin sighed and spoke softly, "Lady Teresa has already taken loyal followers to find her, but they have yet to return—"

"No! I'm going to look for her too!"

With that, Luo Yan turned, ready to leave, his face filled with an urgent expression, as if unwilling to stay here another moment.
