Chapter 261 - A High Authority Newcomer
After Desmond absorbed the corpse's energy and gained bonus stats, the next day there was nothing special happened to him. He kept practicing and reading many books as soon as he can without leaving the carriage.
Day by day had passed, yet Desmond was still inside his carriage while Diana was upset by his promise. She kept waiting from her carriage and looking at his carriage yet, there was no sign of leaving except his maids got a bowl of water from the nearby waterfall.
On the other hand, the soldiers and the mercenaries began showing a tired sign. They were exhausted from mining nonstop; in addition, they also noticed their food reserve became shortened.
Although the numbers of the boulder of rocks were significantly increased because of their overworking, one could still see it was impossible to clear the remaining rocks in just a couple days.
However, they did not dare to mention these matters without any commands from their leaders or superiors. Therefore, they just greeted their teeth in annoyance and suppress the sound of their belly groaning.
When the bright blue sky was swallowed by the dark cloud night, all miners rested and stopped their jobs.
Meanwhile, inside one of the largest tents, there were three shadows of people who were seen sitting with their figures enveloped in the darkness.
However, the flickering light from the candles revealing the shadow of each of them. The sight of Vesta, Veronica, and Ray with their expression darkened was seen sitting on the chair with a round table in the middle.
In addition, on the table, there was spotted a drawing parchment that shown the image of the blocked path. Their arms folded, and they stared at each other for a moment.
"What should we do right now?" Veronica spoke with her clothes already tainted by black dust and her beautiful face showing the black eyes bags.
It's been five days passed after they started clearing the path of the main road. Nevertheless, no one of them was happy or excited seeing the number of the rocks in the drawing parchment.
Other than Veronica, the rest of them did not look better than her.
As the leader from them, Vesta was seen sitting with his hands tremble because of too much work, whereas Ray's handsome face was already sucked up in dry with his cheekbone also bulged.
"Why you all in silence! Don't you know?! a woman has more fragile body than a man! " Veronica shouted, her fierce glare stare at them with her fist punched the table.
Of course, her word means she was also tired. After all, the man's physique was better than the woman's even though she had been reached 3rd class swordsman.
Eventually, after inhaled a fresh breath for a moment, the anger inside her calmed down, and she continued," All of my members already begging me to stop this." She looked at two of them, hoping they do have a solution for this.
Vesta glanced at her and let out a long sigh before reply," As you can see, we don't have any other option. If we turn around, it will worsen the situation." He spoke and stretched in arms in helpless.
Although he was Guardian and a 3rd class Swordsman, right now, they were standing on the same stage and in the same situation. There was no need for courtesy when the life-death matter was included.
Looking at him, the two of them were also sighed simultaneously. There is no point in a quarrel with each other as they had been dragged into this situation. When they remembered choosing to help Vesta, a hint of regret arose inside their heart.
While the current situation was already bad, the sound of horse steps was sounded loudly from afar. The soldier that was guarding outside Vesta's tent immediately entered.
"S-Sir, we may have a ne-w com-mer!" the soldier shouted in excitement. After a few days in desperation, he could not think clearly and hoped it was reinforcement.
He just joined Vesta's private army, yet he already suffered in this way.
"What are you waiting for?! Gather all of the soldiers and prepared for a battle!" Vesta shouted in anger, looking at his dumfounded subordinate, making his anger reached in peak." GO OUT! CALL THE OTHERS!"
His face was reddened in rage, thus making him could not control his emotions after a few days locked in the helpless situation.
"Y-yes, sir!" The soldier immediately turned around after looking at his eyes with fear.

"I'll take my leave." Ray, the one who remained silent, suddenly spoke and also left the tent in a hurry. Hence, as soon she heard this, Veronica also took her to leave for the same reason.
Looking at the shadow of the two of them, Vesta shook his head," A mercenary, still a mercenary." He then took his armor and sword on his waist before leaving the tent and heading toward his carriage.
...
At the same time, when Desmond, who was reading the book in his hand, heard this commotion, he sat upright and approached the small window.
"Good, with this, we can speed up the process more." He spoke to himself. When the others were occupied by fear and nervousness toward the newcomer, on the other hand, Desmond was excited.
After all, looking at the many gray dots approaching from afar, Desmond knew this was not an enemy. When his eyes spotted the formation on the back of the camps, he smiled broadly.
However, after looking at the numbers of gray dots that were approaching them, Desmond spoke suddenly, "Mm, we should go out." Which made Laura and Annie that prepared to sleep was staring at him thunderstruck.
"A person with high authority come here, sure I should greet him to paying a respect," He continued with his fingers pointed to the small window as if he was too lazy explained the details.
Desmond then stood in front of the mirror while his maids were dressing, tidying up his clothes and hair. He then took his sword on the waist before gripping the door handle.
Laura and Annie already prepared beforehand, unlike the usual clothes they wore; now, they were wearing high-class style noble-like clothes.
Desmond's clothes had the same appearance as a butler, long black shirt reaching the butt and long pants, but, on his shoulder, a wolf fur was hanging around his neck.
As for Laura and Annie, they were dressing in a clean white gown wrapped with a skin of black animal wrapped from their breast to the waist.
"Let's go." Looking at them, Desmond was proud of his choices. All of his maids were beautiful, and their beauty was no less inferior than Diana's.
