When Neia felt someone beside her and opened her hazy sleepy eyes, she saw the face of Captain Remedios standing in front of her with a very annoyed expression.
Deputy Captain Gustavo stood next to him with a disappointed look.
"Follow Neia Bahara! Do you know what you are doing now!" Captain Remedios shouted in a very stern voice immediately after seeing Neia wake up.
"I'm so sorry!" Neia quickly lifted up the blanket, jumped up and stood at attention.
However, only then did Neia notice that there was not just one blanket covering her body, but two. The other one did not belong to Neia, but now Neia was not in the mood to care about these details! It could only be
Bow your head and apologize.
"I don't need your apology! You just need to answer me! What on earth are you doing? What is your original duty?" Captain Remedios's voice became louder, calling out the other paladins who were packing their luggage at the campsite.
All the attention was drawn to Neia.
"I'm very sorry! I...my duty is..." Neia knew that this was entirely her fault. She abandoned her security duties and slept until dawn. This was a serious dereliction of duty.
If the mission was attacked without any warning, the consequences would be disastrous. It is no wonder that Captain Remedios would be furious, but even so... Neia still felt very wronged.
"Huh? Why are you so angry so early in the morning?" At this time, Yili's voice came from the treetops nearby, Captain Remedios, Deputy Captain Gustavo, and Neia's
Their eyes turned away.
"Hey! Lord Remedios, did Neia make any mistake?" Yili jumped down from the treetop and asked.
"It's just a trivial matter for our knights to make Your Excellency Yili laugh." Deputy Captain Gustavo was probably afraid that the angry Captain Remedios would offend Yili as soon as he opened his mouth, so he hurriedly said it first
After taking it, Remedios also consciously closed his mouth and did not have an attack.
"Is it a small matter? Since I said it is a small matter, then don't waste your precious time to forgive Neia. Besides, don't we have more important tasks?" Yili said.
"What Your Excellency Yili said is, then let's first..." Deputy Captain Gustavo has not finished speaking. Maybe he really can't stand Yili's attitude of intervening in the affairs of their Holy Knights without permission. Captain Remedios
I couldn't bear it anymore.
"Being absent without permission is not a trivial matter! Deputy Commander Gustavo! This matter can be reported to the Holy Kingdom Council for execution based on the seriousness of the situation!" Although Remedios was speaking to Gustavo on the surface,
But the meaning is for Neia and Yili.
"Oh? Being absent without permission is really not a trivial matter. Then it is necessary to waste some time and investigate whether Ningya has left the post without authorization? Otherwise, if Ningya is executed, I will definitely have uneasy conscience." Yi Li said slightly.
He said with a smile.
"Is there still a need to investigate? Following Neia, her mission is to guard the surroundings and ensure the safety of the envoy. However, she abandoned her mission last night and hid in a place like this to sleep! Doesn't this count as leaving her post without permission?
!" Remedios shook off Gustavo's hand and took two steps forward to stand in front of Yi Li, glaring at her fiercely.
"Indeed, if Neia really abandoned her mission and went to sleep, it would indeed be considered AWOL." Yi Li said.
"Then!" Captain Remedios was about to continue his attack, but Iri raised her finger, interrupting Remedios.
"However, Sir Remedios, you may not know that before Neia took a rest last night, she had given me her mission. I was doing a good job in guarding the area around your mission, so Sir, you
The accusation is not valid!" Yi Li said, waving her fingers.
"Follow Neia! Bahara! Have you asked your Majesty Iri?" After hearing this, Remedios became even more angry and stared at Neia.
"..." A very frightened Neia thought of the conversation between herself and Yili last night, and could only nod her head silently. After all, she couldn't explain the current situation. When she wanted to catch up on some sleep, Yili
He did say that he would stand guard for her, and he did say please, so he could only nod.
"So... I have fulfilled Neia's duties well." After Yili said that, she raised her hand and clapped it twice.
Then there was an unknown commotion in the nearby woods. In the originally quiet woods, various birds were frightened and flew out of the woods.
And the footsteps of a large group of people that sounded like four-legged creatures came from far to near, which made everyone present nervous. The paladins who were cleaning up the camp not far away also became alert.
"Don't worry, those children are all my pets." Yi Li said with a smile.
At this time, the source of the commotion revealed its true form, a group of "creatures" made of shadows, such as bats, wolves, snakes, etc. When these large numbers of shadow creatures approached, the paladins who did not know the truth even
He drew his sword and wanted to attack those creatures, but Gustavo stopped him.
This is not over yet, those shadow creatures gradually gathered in front of Yi Li, and then merged together. After a while, the fused shadows gradually deformed and turned into a body that exuded a frightening and unknown aura.
Shadow Wolf.
"Thank you for your hard work on the alert." Yili stretched out her hand and scratched the chin of the giant shadow wolf, and then touched the wolf's head. The giant wolf also lowered its head obediently, wagging its tail and letting Yili do it.
"..." Captain Remedios and Deputy Captain Gustavo looked nervous. Looking at the giant shadow wolf in front of them, the angry expression of Captain Remedios just now disappeared.
.
"So, can it now be proven that Neia did not leave her post without permission?" Yili asked while touching the head of the giant shadow wolf.
"It has been proven." Gustavo quickly added.
"That's good, it's taken a lot of time, so hurry up and pack up and set off!" Yi Li said.
"Yes, that's what your Excellency said." Deputy Captain Gustavo replied very respectfully, and then gave Remedios a tug to signal her to leave first.
Remedios glared at Yili and Neia in displeasure, turned around angrily, and was about to leave.
Looking at Remedios's back, Yili smiled and then said something of unknown meaning.
