When Harper and Chodak began the second game of Go, Felix and Lucas came to their side to watch the game.

The two men saw Harper's seemingly feeble defense against Chodak's fierce attack. They thought her too soft to be a match for Chodak. To their surprise, however, she was always able to break through his defense and force him to retreat to his base camp.

It was said that a person's disposition could be revealed in the way they played the game of Go. It was very true of Harper. Her skills were a clear indication of her real disposition. While she might have looked feeble and weak, she could be very aggressive. It was only that she chose not to fiercely fight back unless she was attacked. If she had planned on surrounding her opponent from the start, it was possible that no one would be able to match her.

Felix fixed his eyes on Harper, who was concentrating intently on the game. A faint light of killing intent flashed across his

e climate and were suffering for it. If the situation continued to go on like this, they would fall before even fighting a battle.

Hoffman took a look at the scorching sun. He also felt it was too hot. While the weather in the imperial capital had begun to cool down, it was still so hot in this place, as if there was no winter here.

"Why is it so hot here?"

"The Moon Country is right in the middle of the desert. There aren't many inhabitants along the way. But our enemies have occupied three of our Bright Dynasty's cities near the Moon Country. It will be this hot all the way there. In order to cope with this weather, we need to prepare enough water," the deputy general explained. "We can reach the defense line in three days. Why don't we tidy ourselves up and rest here? We are all very tired after this long journey. If we arrive only to face immediate conflict within the Moon Country, our men may be too tired to defeat them."
