Chapter 196 - 196: Hunter

"Well, we tried going for their help last time out of concern... but it was unneeded. Though this time I'm sure that they are really in trouble. Let's go help them... It's a good chance to impress Princess Maia. Also, That group of beasts will definitely attack us after they are finished with Huanji. We should join up with them." Prince Lan said with a slight smile on his face.

"Good thinking..." Royal Tutor chuckled as he glanced towards Huanji Camp.

"So what's the situation?... What are we facing?" Prince Lan inquired as he saw General Yao not responding.

"We don't know..." General Yao said as he shook his head. He was about to continue when he was interrupted.
