Chapter 1261 - 568: I Will Liberate the Mist Mountain Range!

Chapter 1261: Chapter 568: I Will Liberate the Mist Mountain Range!

Sofia stepped away from the Heroic Spirit Warriors and secretly took out a Mirror Fragment, immersing her consciousness into it, sending out a delighted thought.

"My Lord~"

The thought was exceedingly sweet, starkly contrasting her previous decisive demeanor.

"Are you calling your most loyal servant?"

["Haha, Sofia, you’re being coy again."]

Herbert chuckled twice, unsurprised by Miss Centaur’s tremendous contrast before and behind others.

Although Sofia was a stern and cold commander in battle before the crowd, and also the cold-faced Guard Captain responsible for the daily patrols in the territory, Herbert knew her true character behind the scenes.

Sofia, despite appearing difficult to get along with, was actually very fond of being coy.

In front of the people of Elda, she needed to maintain her cold and heroic persona, thus keeping a certain distance from the Heroic Spirits, making it convenient for her to manage subordinates for Herbert.

But in private, she was quite open.

Though her race was Centaur, Herbert sometimes saw her behavior was no different from a Loyal Dog, enjoying being petted, praised, and patted on the butt...

"My Lord, I’m truly not being coy~"

Sure enough, when teased, Sofia merely smiled shyly, not finding Herbert’s teasing words inappropriate.

This was their communication style in private.

Initially, Sofia was overly tense, appearing frightened to face the Divine, making Herbert a bit uncomfortable.

But after a few deep and thorough mutual understandings, Miss Centaur finally adapted to the true mode of interaction and began being herself.

Not restraining her emotions, not suppressing her thoughts, showing her true self, revealing her soft side.

This was once a secret between Sofia and Herbert.

Strictly speaking, now it’s a secret among three people.

At this moment, Sofia was unaware of what price was paid for the ease of transmitting thoughts through the Mirror Fragment.

Destiny’s gifts had already marked a price.

Lukalia, who acted as a transfer server in the whole communication process, enjoyed the gossip thoroughly.

Miss Mirror Demon felt that through this method, she would eventually understand more about other Monster Girls and see their true faces.

As a recorder of history, Lukalia loved these "unknown truths."

Thus, she indulged in it, even at the cost of power, without complaint.

Facing any challenge, she’ll never back down!

Herbert was, of course, aware of this, but had no special solutions, choosing to temporarily disregard it.

Fortunately, Lukalia wasn’t someone who liked to gossip or ridicule others, holding a certain professional ethic, ensuring short-term secrecy of the "truth."

No, she wouldn’t even encounter others.

So, if Lukalia loved eavesdropping, let her do so... it’s not a big problem.

["Alright alright, you’re not being coy, it’s me who’s being coy."]

Herbert chuckled, chatting casually with Sofia, not exposing her little thoughts known to everyone, instead saying: ["Since you have the mood to chat with me now, it seems the crisis has been resolved?"]

"Yes, with Miser’s help, the crisis has been perfectly resolved."

Sofia reverted to her serious demeanor upon discussing business, saying earnestly: "The enemy was captured, and our side suffered no casualties, everyone is safe and sound."

"The intruder, as you foresaw, was indeed the infatuated member from the Heroic Spirit Legion, who couldn’t resist."

Speaking of this, Sofia felt more admiration for Herbert.

Lord Herbert had long foreseen those people couldn’t endure sending someone to test, thanks to his warning, Elda had ample time to prepare.

["Hmm, it really was them, ha, they can’t hold back at all."] Herbert chuckled, his laughter filled with pleasant mockery.

The conclusion was drawn not by intuition or prophecy ability, but purely by logical deduction.

After Nenasha regained the authority of dreams and eliminated "Silence," a subtle change had occurred in the Mist Mountain Range, the Divine Forbidden Area formed from the broken Divine Kingdom.

Certain previously dormant special places began to awaken, and the Heroic Spirit Legion must have been able to detect subtle changes too.

With such deductions, the Heroic Spirit Legion, able to perceive anomalies, would definitely probe surrounding enemies and gather intelligence.

Around the Mist Mountain Range, only two places warranted their vigilance.

One was the newly rising town, and the other was an ancient city lost in the past.

If they didn’t want to provoke the blood-flesh tainted Mechanical Body, they’d have to bully the newcomer without deep foundations.

Herbert, aware of the Heroic Spirit Legion’s situation, halted the advance toward the center of the mountain range, not rushing forward.

And after Valentina made some moves, the Heroic Spirit Legion also had long noticed Elda’s presence.

Similarly, wary of Elda’s power, the Heroic Spirit Legion likewise didn’t act rashly.

In their eyes, though Elda was a newcomer, it wasn’t a weakling without strength, possessing an unfathomable foundation from outsiders.

Suspected to harbor an Epic Strongman!

As long as the Legion Commander wasn’t foolish, he’d certainly test the waters first, and the method of testing... presumably sending his deputy to act.
