My Waste Husband novel Chapter 1807

It was a real city of snow, chilly and cold. People here had the habit of drinking strong liquor, which could warm their bodies.

After Henry and Sylvia arrived, they unexpectedly bumped into someone.

"Lord Zhao?"

Sylvia saw Gardiner's figure in a pub, but he was not drunk and his face was not flushed, which proved that he was not there to drink.

"Senior, Miss Lin?"

Gardiner looked at Sylvia in surprise. "Why are you..." "I'm going to the Core."

Sylvia replied truthfully, "Lord Zhao, is something wrong at the ancient battlefield?"

Sylvia guessed that Gardiner would only restrain his desire for alcohol only when it came to serious business.

Gardiner nodded and said, "Let's find somewhere to sit down and talk."

Gardiner brought Sylvia to the City Lord's Mansion of the stronghold. Gardiner had a very high status in the stronghold. A statue of him was placed within it, and every new recruit would have to first be told of the tales of Gardiner, the commander-in-chief that led the humans in the battle against the orcs, the flag- bearer of the humans in the war against invading races.

The only person who had a higher status than Gardiner in the stronghold was Henry.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Gardiner told Sylvia about everything that had happened in the ancient battlefield, while Henry just listened by the side.

Ranulfo had been guarding the ancient battlefield all the while. After Gervais had returned, he joined Ranulfo in guarding the ancient battlefield.

After Adonias had stepped down, rebellion broke out within the orc tribe and they fought among each other in the ancient battlefield more than once. In the past two years, there had been three great wars between the humans and the orcs. Tens of thousands of people had lost their lives in each war. However, the orcs could not take a single step across the landmine field. One reason was due to the rules of the ancient battlefield, the other was due to the fact that the humans had entered the age of Qi- cultivation, and their capabilities had increased significantly.

Gardiner wanted to pay the orcs a visit this time because Ranulfo and Gervais, who had been guarding the ancient battlefield, had disappeared! Gardiner checked out many spots in the fortress, only to obtain information about the whereabouts of Ranulfo, but he did not find anything useful.

After Ranulfo and Gervais disappeared, the orcs launched another small-scale attack. It might have seemed like an attack, but in truth they were just checking things out. They seemed to have known that Ranulfo had disappeared, and also that some humans had been deployed to the ancient battlefield. The small-scale attack caused quite a lot of casualties for the humans. The fortress had entered the state of alert level one, everyone was already prepared for battle.

After Ranulfo had disappeared, the orcs launched an attack and even knew of the human's strategic deployment. Those points had revealed very important information to Gardiner. However, he still found it unbelievable. It was true that Ranulfo and Gardiner opposed each other in the beginning, but after the Surface and the Core had connected, up to the time when they dealt with the Alvin League, they were both fighting as an alliance. Gardiner would have found it understandable if Ranulfo had betrayed them for other reasons, but he could believe that he would cooperate with the Orcs.

However, now, the fact was right before Gardiner's eyes, he felt great discomfort at keeping this matter in his heart.

Gardiner waved his hand, signalling to take a break from this topic. "What about you, President Lin, why are you here this time?"

Sylvia replied, "I'm making a trip to the Core."

Upon hearing that, Gardiner did not say anything more. The Core might be very dangerous to the ordinary, but to Sylvia, there was nothing dangerous about it all, not to mention that Sylvia had such a being like the peerless Immortal King with her, even Cesia in the Core was enough to provide Sylvia with complete protection.

"If that's the case, let's go together."

Gardiner lit a cigarette, a troubled expression was written all over his face. "I also have some answers to seek."
