Female Novel
Chapter 1696
"What is Mr. Lennon really like?" Shania asked curiously.
Zander glanced at Shania. He did not expect the heiress to think so much and turned the topic to Sean.
However, Zander did not think much about it.
He quickly replied, "Commander is a good leader that's hard to find. He's not only strong, but he's also
good at leading troops. I've never seen a commander comparable to him."
Shania glanced over her shoulder at Sean in the distance, her beautiful eyes glimmering.
"You seem to admire Mr. Lennon..."
Zander immediately said without hesitation, "He's my commander. I've followed him for years. I admire
him, of course."
"You're right..." Shania nodded.
Zander raised his wrist, looked at the waterproof watch on his left wrist, and said, "Ms. Lewis, Mr. Ur..."
"I'm Uriah. My name is Uriah," Uriah said as he interrupted Zander.
"Alright, Mr. Uriah, it's time we eat. Breaks usually don't last more than half an hour. We have to hurry,"
Zander said, trying to be polite.
Though Shania was an heiress, she did not willfully defy Zander's orders. She nodded and prepared to
return to the camp with Uriah's help to get some food.
Just then, Zander's expression changed suddenly.
"What's the matter, Commander Young?" Shania asked curiously.
Zander did not answer. He looked up at the mountains in the distance.
His face became increasingly pale as he watched the smoke rising from them. Then he quickly fell to
the ground, pressed his ears to the ground, and listened.
Uriah's expression turned pale at the sight.
"Is there an ambush?" Uriah asked hastily.
Zander got up from the ground and said quickly, "Someone's here. There are more than 100 peoplenovelbin
and horses..."
With that said, Zander looked over his shoulder toward the camp and shouted, "Enemy attack!"
The atmosphere in the camp changed instantly.
Ten city defense soldiers stopped eating immediately. They gathered their belongings and mounted
their horses at breakneck speed.
The whole thing took less than 30 seconds!
By comparison, the nine personal guards were nowhere near as fast.
City defense soldiers had mounted their horses and looked around in confusion!
"Mount the horses! Enemy attack!"
Zander rushed back to the camp and quickly reported to Sean, "Commander, more than 100 men are
approaching fast!"
"Could Crosac's men be ambushing us?" Uriah asked, running over and clutching Shania's hand.
"I don't know yet. Now isn't the time to dwell on that. Get in the car first!"
The diplomatic convoy started and sped off toward Crosac. This time, Sean did not deliberately control
the speed but kept accelerating.
At the same time, more than 100 enemy soldiers galloped on horses out of the woods and pursued the
convoy.
It was a mercenary regiment with no identifying flags. Besides that, the mercenaries wore various
clothes instead of standard uniforms, so it was impossible to distinguish which force it belonged to.
However, it was safe to say it should not be Crosac's soldiers. It was because it would not be so
chaotic if it were Crosac's soldiers.
Besides, Dorodo's diplomatic convoy was visiting Crosac. If they were killed on the way, Crosac was
the prime suspect.
