Chapter 59: Reunion
"Who the hell are you?" Alan muttered subconsciously, but immediately turned his head in annoyance.
"What's wrong?" His hair was a little messy by the sea breeze, and Carl's expression seemed to be blurred as a result.
"Nothing." Eren walked up to him and looked him straight in the eye, "Let's go back to land tomorrow." â
The blood-red pupils contracted slightly, and Carl asked seemingly naturally, "What about Vincent?" â
"I can't do anything if I stay here." Alan smiled wryly, "Or I can't change anything anywhere, but at least give it a try." â
"The main battlefield is now on the elves and orcs, and the impact on the merfolk is very small."
"If Fury doesn't save zĂ i, how can it not have an impact on the mermaid."
"No, it won't." Karl smiled inexplicably, "Elves won't be so easily attacked." â
"But the Em barrier has collapsed."
The conversation between the two fell silent, and Karl was a little irritated and ruffled his flying hair, with a resolute look in his eyes that made Alan extremely familiar, "Run after the battlefield, you will die." â
Under such a gaze, a ridiculous conjecture surfaced in Alan's mind, his lips moved slightly, and the words he spat out were spiked, "It has nothing to do with you." â
Karl looked at him expressionlessly, his red eyes seemed to have a fire burning in them, and he said with difficulty for a long time, "No one who is related to you will want to see you like this." â
"Huh?" Alan scoffed, "Then let him stop me." "A wall of ice seemed to be built in his sea-blue eyes.
Carl knew he couldn't talk to Eren anymore.
Returning to land again has become a foregone conclusion, and Carl has no way to change Allen's decision, and ...... Not qualified to interfere.
When stepping on the hard ground for the first time for a long time, Alan actually felt a little uncomfortable, and sure enough, the mermaid's body was used to the ocean.
The front line is tight, except for the elves and orcs who stick to the northern battlefield, several other races are also sending reinforcements there non-stop, and Alan will lead the land mermaid army under the command of the Blue family as the deputy commander this time.
With a feeling that even he didn't quite understand, Alan got closer and closer to the elven garrison in the north, during which Carl had been following the troops, but the two had no other conversations, and the current situation left them with little chance to talk.
It didn't take long for the orc detachment to arrive.
The war was more brutal than Allen had imagined, and most of the cities along the way were left with the old, weak, sick and children, and in this multi-racial country, women were allowed to go to war.
Each race has its own strengths, but the integration is not necessarily one plus one is greater than two, it has been a long time since such a large-scale struggle has been experienced, the small-scale war on the bottom of the sea is just a prelude, this time, the subman is completely trying to unify the Pigg continent, if the war fails, what awaits them may be death or expulsion.
When he saw Zhou Zhou again, Alan had just broken through from a small-area ambush by Subman.
After being incorporated into the Northern Counterattack Army, the various races were partially dispersed, and in order to better take advantage of the advantages of different races, many squads were reasonably distributed according to the composition of the mercenaries. Allen's squad had always been at the front, and this time their mission was to attract most of the enemy forces stationed on the other side of the river.
Not long after the war began, Subman's humanoid weapons were exposed, and those captured mermaids, orcs, elves, etc., were all cultivated by them like Gu, cultivating thoughtless humanoid weapons in various places, and the largest cultivation base in the northwest was on the other side of the river.
After a number of skirmishes, the Northern Counterattack finally found its exact location, and while Allen and a few other squads had led away most of the enemy forces, the main force would go to destroy the cultivation base.
Although the original idea was to lure the enemy team to lead Subman's army in front, now it is more like the other party is driving Alan and them somewhere.
Like suddenly popping a hornet's nest, waiting for the buzz to die down is hard, but their task is to poke the hornet again when it is ready to return to the nest, so as not to let the other person return to the nest.
As soon as they broke through the encirclement of the other party, Allen and they continued to provoke the enemy, but this time the other party was not ready to let them go like this, no matter which direction of escape they could find the enemy.
Speaking of fear, there must have been, but in the months spent on the battlefield, Alan felt that his nerves were becoming more and more numb.
This time I may not be able to see the sun tomorrow again...... As soon as such a thought emerged, Alan found that the green eyes with a sly smile in the depths of his mind became clearer and clearer, and he couldn't help laughing, until now his psychology towards Xia Zuo is still complicated, and during this time in the north, he also indirectly inquired about his news, but no, Xia Zuo, the elf, seems to have never appeared, there is no trace here, and even Carl, who was suspected by him before, left not long after.
If it weren't for the strange dream that occasionally harassed Allen, he really thought that his previous experience with Xia Zuo was a hallucination.
The voice of the beast, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly sounded in his head, and Allen's hand holding the heavy sword tightened.
"No." He burst out laughing, waiting until the moment he was dying to use this opportunity.
Then there was a sudden commotion ahead, "There seems to be something in the sky." "Elven scouts were the first to notice the anomaly.
What will it be? New humanoid weapons? In that case, Alan felt that he might soon have to use that opportunity.
But then a familiar dragon roar resounded through the canyon, and Allen's eyes widened as he watched the red figure in the sky getting closer and closer, and the emotions that had been suppressed by the war worked again.
"Alan!" A figure in battle armor waved a signal flag on the dragon's back.
It was Zhou Zhou, and Alan immediately stopped the other people's vigilant movements, "It's a friendly army." â
Then dozens of dragons landed on the cliffs of the canyon at once, and the red dragon led by him happily waved his head to Allen and said hello, it was also Wren who had not been seen for a long time.
Zhou Zhou slowly descended from the cliff, put away his staff, he walked in front of Allen, took off his helmet, he looked a lot thinner.
"It's good that it's not too late." Even Zhou Zhou, who was a little paralyzed, couldn't help but smile at this time.
"The dragon has always been on the front line of the Em Barrier, why did he come here this time?" Although there is a lot to say, the changes in the battlefield are more important.
Zhou Zhou didn't speak, but asked with a smile: "Guess." â
Compared to before, he has really become more cheerful, and he should have experienced a lot of things.
"It must be good news."
"The second form of the Elven Mother Tree has been activated, and the subman has been driven out of the Em Barrier." Zhou Zhou used magic to transmit this sentence, not only all the counterattack squads could hear it, but the enemy in the distance could probably hear it, "This is the last large-scale cultivation base left by Subman, so leave it to us next." â
Months of tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and Eren felt that his hand holding the heavy sword was already sore.
Zhou Zhou stepped forward and hugged Allen.
He relied on this once emaciated little mage like this, pinched his sour nose, and Alan lightly hammered the other party, "What do you mean by leaving it to you, do you know the terrain here and the distribution of the base." â
Zhou Zhou smiled and grabbed his hand, "Isn't there still you." â
The next tension was unbelievable, the cultivation base that had plagued them for months was vulnerable to the attack of the dragon, those monsters who were not afraid of death and pain, because they were once everyone's partners, brought a lot of trouble to the counterattack army on the initial battlefield, and now, because of the subman's will to flee, these monsters have also been greatly weakened.
It's not just the good news brought by Zhou Zhou, but the arrival of the giant dragon alone has already hit the other party's will.
Cleaning up the battlefield and burying former friends, this leafy canyon was dilapidated and barren after the war.
Alan saw some elves caressing the burned roots, and when the war was over, it would be completely restored.
At night, everyone was temporarily stationed on the plain not far from the valley, and the former Fast team had time to sit down at this time.
Around the bonfire, the three of them were covered with a layer of warm color, although Wren still looked unruly, but his eyes were obviously much calmer, "It's just Xia Zuo." â
This sentence silenced the atmosphere all at once.
"Have you heard from him?" Alan asked seemingly casually.
Wren shook his head, "I received the news that he was going to fight a few months ago, and then there was no contact. He paused, as if observing Allen's expression, "I thought I'd see him here too." â
"Maybe there's news back to the elven station." Zhou Zhou immediately eased the atmosphere.
"Maybe." Alan looked down and smiled, looking at the campfire with a slight distraction.
"Don't think about that guy ruining his fun at this time, he will definitely be fine." Wren put his arm around Allen's shoulder, "It's time to have some drinks and have fun." â
"You dare to drink ......"
"Okay!" Eren untied his heavy sword and took out the leather pouch from his waist, "What reason do you need to drink?" Her sea-blue eyes were tinged with a warm smile.
Wren and Zhou Zhou seemed to be stunned for a moment, this fish rarely drank alcohol before.
"What? Even the mermaid is afraid of the amount of alcohol. "I've been in the army for a while, and Allen seems to have a hint of ruffian when he laughs.
The most irritating person present was probably the little red dragon, who patted Allen on the shoulder with a deep face, then turned his head and left, and it didn't take long to move a box over.
"So you're trying to bring this thing?" Zhou Zhou was speechless.
These Alan also shook a little, I didn't expect someone to be crazier than him.
"Few people dare to provoke in front of me." Wren curled the corners of his mouth slightly, looking very confident in his drinking.
"Well, the people who have provoked you don't want to provoke again." Zhou Zhou complained expressionlessly.
"Hmph, of course." Wren seemed to simply understand his words as agreement, and grinned happily, "Come on, toast to meet again." â
Alan didn't speak, but used action to show that the wine that slipped into his throat seemed to be able to dissipate the exhaustion of his body, and he showed his first smile without haze in half a year.
It would be nice if he was there too, Alan hoped from the bottom of his heart.
