She sized Zeke up for quite a long while before asking, “Mister, are you Great Marshal Zee?”
Zeke nodded. “Yes, I am.”
The little girl suddenly got very excited and walked up to him. “Great Marshal Zee, I knew I wasn't just dreaming last
night. I really did see you!”
The night before, Zeke was giving food to the kids in the village. That was when the little girl saw Zeke.
After mustering up her courage, the little girl asked, “Great Marshal Zee, can I hug you?”
Zeke smiled and picked her up. “Why not?”
The little girl was of a similar age as Missy, so Zeke was drawn to the little girl.
The little girl almost cried tears of joy when she uttered, “This is awesome! Great Marshal Zee is holding me in his
arms! I need to show my mommy so that she'd stop saying that I was lying. Great Marshal Zee, will you follow me
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthome and see my mommy? She doesn't believe you're here.”
Zeke mulled over it and replied, “But I'm too busy to go to your house now.”
“Oh,” the little girl answered in disappointment.
Seeing that, Zeke quickly said, “However, I promise you I'll go over to your house once I'm free, okay?”
“Really?” The little girl was over the moon. “Great Marshal Zee, are you serious? Will you come to my house once
you're free?”
“Of course.” Zeke nodded.
The little girl was thrilled. “Okay! Pinky swear, no changes for a hundred years!”
“Okay. Go home now. Study hard, okay? Once you're done with your studies, you can serve the country. By then,
you'll get to see me every day!”
The little girl nodded firmly. “Great Marshal Zee, I'll join the military when I grow up! I want to contribute to the
country as well!”
“Good. By the way, what's your name?”
“I'm Nelly.”
Zeke smiled upon hearing that. Well, it seems like my fate with Durbaine is quite extraordinary. I've even found a
girl with a similar age as Missy.
Zeke then patted her head and said, “Go on. Once I'm free, I'll go find you.”
“Sure!” The little girl left.
In the meantime, the Dulliouds were looking at each other in disbelief. We didn't hear wrongly, did we? This man
before us is the legendary Great Marshal? What the f*ck! What's with our luck? We're just a bunch of small fry! Why
did God send Great Marshal to deal with us? That's like killing an ant with a cannon!
Rick couldn't believe his ears, so he asked cautiously, “May I know your name, Sir?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSole Wolf smiled wryly at Rick. “Didn't you hear? Everything you heard is true!”
“H-He's Great Marshal?” Rick stammered.
“He is,” Sole Wolf answered.
Rick felt so hopeless that he was on the verge of crying. There's no way we're getting out of this!
That day, the village was very lively.
The villagers were so surprised when they saw how fast the vegetables had grown within a day. What a harvest
season we're having this year!
The villagers then started harvesting the vegetables joyfully.
Little did they know, they'd been unconscious for a few days prior.
Zeke and the rest spent two days in the village. On the third night, they'd finally gotten a reply.
The sound of wings flapping broke the silence in the village. Indeed, the pigeon had returned.
Zeke released a wave of energy and sucked the pigeon into his palm.
He took the note tied to the pigeon, and the note read: Three thousand miles off of Yellow Sand River.
“What does that mean?” Zeke gave the note to Rick.
