"I say, Erigor, are you really going to kill the Scourge non-commissioned officer of the Swallower for them?" When they entered the lounge assigned to them, Thea closed the door, and Bruce yelled impatiently. "Look at the look on the eyes and foreheads of those blood-colored rabbit cubs, don't you think you're amazing? Then why call us to go!! ”

Erigor rubbed his brows, the conversation with Dasohan made him feel tired, and listening to Bruce's loud voice made him feel even more irritated. The irritability in his heart made his words feel a little strange even to himself. "Now it's up to us to repair relations, and even if the general doesn't ask us to make this sharp knife, we have to. It's dangerous to face a war machine like the Swallower, but we don't have a choice. Bruce, are you scared? Then you'll have to stay here! ”

"You know Bruce, he didn't mean that!" Seeing that Bruce's eyes were wide open, and he rolled up his sleeves and carried a hammer to prepare for a fight, Xia hurriedly played the round. "Errigor, are you tired, can you rest?"

"Oh, sorry...... I'm probably a little tired. Erigor also seemed to realize that he had lost his words, but he couldn't pull his face down. He took advantage of Bruce's inattention to stuff a small bag into Xia's hand, and then glanced at the back of Bruce, who was still puffing up, and said loudly to Xia. "Thea, I'll take a break and call me in twenty minutes."

Thea pinched the pouch in her hand and smiled. "Okay."

After Erigor went upstairs to rest, Thea walked over to Bruce, who was still sulking. "Bruce, Erigor didn't mean to accuse you, he just stressed too much."

"Hmph...... I know, or I would have punched him in the face, the dwarf's best friend, Hammer, is not for jokes! Bruce said angrily.

"Hmm...... But I remember the dwarves have a good friend," Shia pulled out a small bag in her hand and winked at him, "maybe it will put you in a good mood." ”

Bruce took the bag suspiciously, and with a slight pinch of his thick fingers, his eyes lit up in an instant, and his depression swept away. "Oh oh, tobacco!! That's right! Bruce's best friend! Shia, you too!! ”

He spun around happily, and then ran back to Thea with bright eyes. "Well, okay Thea, it's ...... Is there any? ”

Thea looked at Bruce with a sneer, the dwarf's temper really came and went quickly. She spread her hands. "No, I don't like this, how can there be more?"

"I'm sorry," Bruce said, taking out his large pipe, filling the bag with some tobacco, sniffing deeply and intoxicatedly, then lit the fire and took a beautiful puff. "This tobacco is really exciting......"

"Actually, this is Erigore's apology, he just stuffed me to convey the ......" Seeing that Bruce was already smacking his lips in beauty, Xia said with a smile.

Bruce choked heavily when he heard Thea's words. "Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Struggling to look at the pipe in his hand, Bruce's hesitation disappeared like a flash of red light in the cigarette. "Dwarves have big bellies! As for what you say? I didn't hear it! Bruce said as he ran to the second-floor balcony to smoke.

Thea looked at the two of them and seemed to have no problems, smiled, and looked up at the time, there were still twenty minutes left before the meeting. Time is a little awkward, I'm afraid I don't have enough time to go to Marlan, and I don't know how she is. Let's wait until the battle meeting is over. Now sitting here, worried about Marland's Xia, she can't calm down at all, so she has to try to think of something else to ease the anxiety in her heart.

After thinking about it, she began to recall the details of the meeting she had just met with General Dasohan.

General Da Sohan was unsurprisingly a bold leader, but his sense of oppression was also a little too strong. In front of him, Xia felt particularly nervous and scared...... Fear, and Erigor seemed a little more agitated than usual.

It's weird. Although Xia didn't want to think about it, in fact she felt like her emotions were affected.

Since the battle in the Chapel of Light's Wishes, she could clearly feel that her magic level had risen to a new level, and her sense of magic had become clearer.

However, this kind of magic can only affect people's minds, and Dasohan is obviously just a warrior. Shia didn't feel the fluctuations of magic in him.

But the feeling of being stared at by a snake was too real, cold and solemn, and Xia didn't think it was just an illusion.

She stood up and paced around the room a few times with some irritation.

Maxwell's words crossed her mind.

"The reason why Silver Dawn became independent from the Scarlet Crusaders was because the Scarlet Crusaders became more and more fanatical, fanatical. They have become a gang of extremists...... I'm so scared, scared that if we don't leave, we'll become crazy like this...... Or be killed by such a madman......"

What made the Scarlet Crusaders what they are today? Thea frowned secretly, she felt that Bruce was not right, and that Da Sohan's fanaticism was probably much more than that of ordinary Scarlet Crusaders. What kind of general will have what kind of soldiers.

But what exactly is the source of the madness of this force? Does it have anything to do with the inspiring aura of Da Sohan?

Thea was puzzled, frowning and thinking intently, not noticing that diagonally across from the room where they were resting was Da Sohan's office.

Da Sohan was standing on the windowsill watching the every move of Xia and the others.

Suddenly, he laughed, walked back to his desk, and took a step with the black chess piece.

"Hey~ The queen has been eaten by me, and she still doesn't admit defeat?" He sat down lazily, glanced at the chessboard, and quickly lifted the white chess piece and took a step, directly erasing a black chess piece.

"But I think it's a lot of surprises for me." Dasohan raised the black chess piece in his hand and squinted at the sunlight shining in. "Hopefully I won't be too disappointed. You know, there's not much fun left in the Scarlet Crusade......"

In the empty room, Da Sohan was talking to himself, and what he said did not match his righteous and awe-inspiring face, and it was indescribably strange. He looked up at the clock, "Ten minutes left, let's end this game quickly......"

He tucked his chess pieces softly on the board.

On the chessboard, across the few remaining chess pieces, the black and white kings are far away.
