Esty didn't think that Cross had already captured the Borean Fortress, which had just been breached by Sheehan, and that Cross had no time or route to capture the Borean Fortress.

Esty believed that Cross's statement that he had captured the fortress was to demoralize Sheehan's troops.

Of course, if Reinhardt's old men knew that both Wolfheart and Borean Fortress had been captured by Cross, then they would likely have defected to the battlefield as Kersmans.

Estie couldn't help but sigh at Cross's understanding of the battlefield.

However, he still wanted to know the true military situation of Cross's troops, "Your Excellency Cross, since I have surrendered and am already your subordinate, then we should be our own people, right?"

"What do you want to say?" Cross didn't want to waste time, he let Esty have something to say.

"Your Excellency, I think I should have the right to know the truth about our army now, right?"

"I've already told you the truth. Cross's face didn't change when he spoke, and he didn't look like he was lying at all.

Of course, Esti would not be deceived by such a master of acting, "Lord Cross, I mean, have we really captured the Borean Fortress?"

Cross chuckled, "It's a pity that the few defenders of the Borean Fortress that I let go probably won't be able to catch up with Sheen's troops, otherwise, they would have told Sheen this fact in person, and I wouldn't need you to inform him." ”

Esty shrugged, he would never believe that the Borean Fortress had been captured.

Cross continued, adding, "Also, do you think it's a coincidence that we ambushed you in this place?"

Esty turned her head in surprise to look at Cross, whose silver eyes were full of pride and teasing.

Esty stared blankly at Cross, and he realized that the man in front of him had a bottomless idea. He also began to believe Cross's words.

Cross noticed that Esty was still standing stupidly and said, "You still want me to tell you more information, when you return from your mission." ”

It was only then that Esty came to his senses, "Yes, my Excellency." ”

"Wait! Kill Sheen by the way. ”

Estileen paused for a moment, "Yes!" before turning away, his back quickly disappearing from Cross's sight.

"Lord Cross, can the dark elf really be trusted?" asked Nia.

"Whether he can complete the task or not has no impact on my plans.

Let's go, let's go find Britney. Cross said.

"Good. ”

The two of them approached Britney's side and found the red dragon asleep, snoring quietly.

"Britney. Nia woke up the red dragon.

Britney lifted her neck, shook her head, and let out a long breath, have you killed that scout yet?"

"No, he surrendered. Nia replied.

Britney glanced around, "Where is he?"

"I put him back. Cross said.

"Put it back?"

"Well, I have my own arrangement for this matter.

Britney, now that you have an important mission, set off for Wolfheart, and let Cressia and her troops come to Sunset Valley Pass.

You stay in Wolfheart for the time being. Cross ordered.

"Yes, my Excellency. ”

Britney let out a low dragon groan and flew away.

Only Cross and Nia were left in the bushes.

Cross let out a long sigh of relief and sat down on the ground.

Cross was tired now, he closed his eyes, propped his hands back on the ground, and dragged his backward body, now he just wanted to enjoy this temporary peace.

Seeing this, Nia put down the Flame Dance Wheel that was slung across her shoulder, and sat down next to Cross, she didn't say anything, didn't ask anything, just sat quietly next to Cross, quietly accompanying him.

......

Esty clutched his wounded chest and ran towards Sheehan's troops, who were in Estie's field of vision before long.

Sheehan also sees Esty, and to his surprise, Esty is not only without a horse, but also injured.

Sheehan ordered the whole army to halt its advance, and he galloped to Estie's side on his fast horse.

"Esty, what's going on, have you met Cross's troops?"

Esty gritted her teeth and nodded, "Lord Sheehan, the situation is much worse than we thought. ”

"You get on the horse first. ”

Sheen pulled Estie onto his horse and returned to the group.

Sheehan laid Esty down and fed her some water, "Esty, what's wrong?"

After taking a few sips of water, Esti said helplessly, "We have failed. ”

"What do you mean, we haven't fought with Cross's forces yet. ”

"Cross has captured Wolfheart City and the Fortress of the North Wind, and we have no way back!"

Esty said this in a roaring voice, apparently trying to disrupt the morale of Sheehan's troops, and soon the soldiers in the ranks began to stir.

Sheehan, of course, didn't want his troops to panic, so he drew his sword and stabbed Esty in the head.

The sword slashed against Esty's long, pointed ear, and plunged into the dirt behind him.

"Esty!" Sheehan was instantly filled with majesty, "You can't talk nonsense, besides, the Borean Fortress was only occupied by us, how could it be captured by Cross so quickly!"

Este's face was expressionless, and the majesty of Sheehan in front of him was just a pretense, compared to Cross, Sheen's sense of oppression was far worse.

However, Esty can't openly oppose Sheehan, he still wants to live.

His eyes were glued to Sheen, "Your Excellency, the information I just said is true, and we should now consider how we can escape from Cross's encirclement. ”

Sheehan and Estey haven't known each other for long, but Sephiroth has a lot of approval of Esty, and Esty's recent performances have shown his ability and loyalty.

At the very least, Esty had no half-heartedness for Sephiroth.

Moreover, Sheehan was just trying to stabilize the morale of the army, and he didn't really want to kill Estie.

Sheehan leaned into Esther's ear and whispered, "I can trust your information, but then, I want you to shut up." ”

With that, Sheen dragged Estie onto his horse, and then jumped onto the horse as well.

Esty is in the back, Sheehan is in the front.

Immediately after, Sheehan, who was on his horse, raised his sword.

"Warriors of the Kingdom of Seatta!

Our scouts were attacked by small groups of enemy troops.

Now, we want revenge.

The enemy is ahead, show your courage and tear the enemy to shreds!"

Sheehan's impassioned shouts instantly boosted the morale of the entire team, and almost all the Seatta soldiers began to shout.
