When Squad Leader arrived, the City Lord's reaction was entirely normal.
Upon hearing Squad Leader mention the abnormally huge Disease Beast beyond imagination, the City Lord nodded and said, "That thing appeared out of nowhere and headed straight south after appearing. I have no idea what's going on."
Upon hearing the City Lord's response, Squad Leader silently nodded in agreement.
The City Lord's reply raised no issues, which alleviated some of his suspicions. He then continued asking, "What about my other brothers? Has anyone returned?"
"No one," the City Lord said regretfully. "You're the first one to return in this period."
"I see... I understand."
After briefly updating the City Lord about his situation, Squad Leader returned to his room and lay on the bed in contemplation.
Among the captured Personal Soldiers, his speed was not the fastest; more than half of the people were quicker on their feet, and they should've returned earlier by logic.
