Eileen in the back was completely dumbfounded.

How did this turn out so differently from the script she had in mind?

Watching Renji's skillful teasing actions and listening to the genuine evil laughter from the young man.

'Could it be...'

'He is really a villain!?'

Although there were indeed some people with peculiar fetishes for different races, humans should not... or at least, they shouldn't act so inappropriately!!

'No way!'

Eileen had to quickly stop Renji. At the very least, she should take the Catgirl back with her before causing trouble directly in someone else's camp!

[Baka. Don't disturb the master] 86, the more astute one, directly stopped Eileen from going over.

However, the next second, Eileen's attempt to scold the maid came to an abrupt halt because...

"Lord Renji!" A familiar voice came from outside the big tent.

Immediately after, another young man walked in quickly.

He was wearing the advanced military uniform of the Church's "Crusaders," the same person who had rushed over to greet them when Renji's group had just arrived at the Wall of Michelle. He had led them up the wall and provided them with information about the "Relic Wilder".

He was Clausius, the commander of the Third Vanguard of the Crusaders.

Renji : "This is really unexpected, I didn't think it would be you" As soon as Clausius appeared, Renji's previous villainous demeanor was put away. He looked at Clausius, shaking his head in a mix of surprise and understanding.

The young man didn't respond immediately to Renji. Instead, he quickly walked to the front of the Catgirl, who was bound to the wooden stake.

"Azhu... I'm sorry! I'm late! It's okay now, it's all right, Lord Renji was just joking with you, don't be afraid, everything's alright now."

The young man drew his sword and quickly cut the bound ropes. Then, he hugged the Catgirl slave tightly, comforting her and stroking her head continuously.

As for the Catgirl in Clausius arms, she was no longer trembling all over as before. Her tail was swaying at the back, and her two cat ears on her head were perked up, as if longing for Clausius to stroke her a few more times.

Clearly, these two should have known each other for a long time, and their relationship seemed very familiar and intimate, 'perhaps they were lovers?'

Renji remained silent throughout, not disturbing them.

After about five or six seconds, Clausius and the Catgirl named "Azhu" separated slightly.

It was evident that Azhu was still very afraid of Renji, so when Clausius returned to Renji's side, the Catgirl hid behind Clausius, clutching his clothes tightly. She only poked her head out, gazing fearfully at Renji.

"Lord Renji, may I ask when you discovered this?"

"Probably... it was when the alertness of this army here was so unreasonable? And when that 'Relic Wilder' was deliberately drawing so much hatred? Oh, yes, and when she was in the enemy's camp, screaming for help? It all felt a bit staged, as if she was afraid we wouldn't come"

Renji counted the things that didn't seem right, and finally, he focused his gaze on the Catgirl behind Clausius, making her shiver all over and quickly retract her head, hiding completely.

It could be seen that Renji's skills as a villain were quite good.

"It's okay, it's not your fault, Azhu. It's all my fault for coming up with such a stupid plan."

"Lord Renji, Azhu was a real slave for a long time, so even though she's just acting, it reminded her of some very unpleasant memories. That's why she shouted anxiously, wanting you to come quickly. She was genuinely afraid of becoming a slave again."

Clausius comforted the Catgirl while explaining to Renji. As Clausius spoke, the Catgirl cried even harder, no longer hiding behind Clausius but burying herself in his embrace, sobbing uncontrollably.

After explaining the most crucial point, Clausius refuted Renji's previous two suspicions.

"Lord Renji, regarding this batch of Dragons troops, I did use a small auxiliary method to intensify their inner desires a bit. But please believe me, when you arrive in the Dragon Nation, you will only see things that are more corrupt, more cruel, and dirtier than these Dragons troops!"

Clausius's eyes flashed with hatred as he spoke, his hand clenched tightly inside the cuff of his military uniform.

But Renji was more interested in another point.

"When I arrive in the Dragon Nation? It seems like you're quite confident in guessing my next course of action"

"No, I don't have that ability. It's that person" Clausius shook his head.

"That person?"

"I'm very sorry, but that person instructed me that I can only say this much to Lord Renji."

Clausius's serious demeanor actually amused Renji.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

This kind of behavior, where she had her subordinates pass on messages and still acted all secretive, even though everything is 'clear', yet still pretending to be secretive – it's quite the tsundere attitude.

'Hahaha~'

Renji couldn't help but laugh.

'Among 'them…'

'Only 'She' would do something like this…'

"So, the purpose of your cat girl... Azhu, previously trying to steal the 'Eye of the Hearthstone' – oh, this Relic Artifact in my hand – was to set a new coordinate for me?"

The stone pendant that had once belonged to Gumo was now rotating and emitting light in Renji's palm.

Now thinking back, indeed, since their arrival at Michelle's Wall, Clausius had been continuously hinting at and reminding him of the 'Relic Wielder' on the other side, even specifically hinting that the 'Relic Artifact' in their possession was of the teleportation type.

The reason Renji came to the border was actually to go to the Dragon Nation. After all, the only reason and conflict for Nova to declare war on the Holy Kingdom was him. So as long as he wasn't in the Holy Kingdom, they could easily avoid this war.

Of course, this also meant that he would completely lose Suthia's protection.

So, that's why Renji said that Nova's 'move' was ruthless.

It seemed reckless, but it actually forced him to "enter the tiger's den."

'But now, it seemed like there is someone even more ruthless than Nova…'

'Or perhaps… a bit "unethical" in her tactics?'

Renji looked at the stone pendant in his hand, examining its item panel.

[Hearthstone Tears]

[Quality: ★★★★ (Danger Rank)]

[Rarity: Rare]

[Effect 1: Teleport a certain range of allies to a specified coordinate (requires charging, must have reached the coordinate before)]

[Effect 2: Instantly move oneself to any location within ten meters]

[Miasma Deviation: A very small probability to replace "Effect One" with teleportation to a "random" coordinate]

[Legend has it that there was once a Hearthstone fortress in the Blizzard, where a princess and a prince lived. At first, they were deeply in love, but as time went on, the prince became more and more indulgent, and even banished the princess in the end. However, what the prince didn't know was that because of the princess's presence, his castle could stand tall in the Blizzard. When he lost the princess, the Blizzard engulfed the castle. The tears of the Hearthstone Prince's regret eventually crystallized into this stone, hoping that one day, he could get the princess back to her side]

[Note 1: The new coordinate has been set ten minutes ago to — Sin City, Demon Queen's Tower, City Lord's Bedroom]
