The deer demon Lao Xiao came with a mission—he was representing the old general to find Durin. He said that they finally remembered in Shangjing that they hadn't assigned a military supervisor to Durin, so they hurriedly found one for him.
Durin thought this was a dream come true, but also felt it was a jinx.
But there was nothing he could do, so Durin had to return to the garrison city because, according to Lao Xiao, the old general and the others were waiting for him by the teleportation array.
Durin didn't forget about Anta either. As for Melinda, his rabbit spirit was currently out with another rabbit spirit, trying to find some poor souls to catch their 10mm armor-piercing bullets.
He opened a short-range portal and brought Anta back to the place where the dream began—in other words, the teleportation center where Durin had initially arrived.
The gates here had already been dismantled—to reinforce the trenches outside the position.
