"Sorry!" the Captain was an honest person, he didn't realize that Tang Zheng's comment was meant to shame them and keep them from asking for further details.
"We're heading to the fortress in the northeast, can you provide protection?" Tang Zheng dug another trap, confusing the Captain.
"We still have a mission." The Captain's suspicion had lessened quite a bit; if these people were telling lies, they surely wouldn't dare go to the fortress, because the truth would come out during a conflict.
"Heh, so you're just going to abandon us and let us die?" Tang Zheng mocked, provoking the Captain. Having someone to guide them was naturally much quicker, and according to Xu Biyun, these Imperial Defense Army soldiers were very impressive—ideal bodyguards.
The newbies were worried about traveling with these 'Iron Canned Heads,' after all, they were outsiders. They didn't know that the Conquerors had already assessed the soldiers' strength, which should be easy to overpower.
