In the quiet mountain forest on the outskirts of Viva Castle, the warm breeze of early spring blows away the winter snowflakes, the air is filled with the smell of earth and the fragrance of new grass, and green shoots begin to emerge on the bare branches.

Stepping on the moist earth covered with fallen leaves, facing the sunset that was about to end, Enoch looked into the distance with an indifferent expression, his eyes revealed an unfathomable depth, his indifferent face exuded a thin coldness, as time passed, the sky became darker and darker, but he still stood motionless, as if something in the distance was attracting his mind.

For a long time, for a long time.

Until a dark shadow loomed, and there was a rustling sound in the shuttle, he knew that the time to wait was over.

"Your Excellency, Eckhart and the Guards are on their way."

Enoch tilted his head slightly, and saw a dark figure half-kneeling in front of him, respectfully.

"Where are they now?" Enoch mused.

"They are on a rapid march to Quirofi, and based on the time of departure, they are probably halfway there." The dark shadow said truthfully.

"Joshuel, Castile, the time for leisure is over."

Enoch pondered for a moment with a solemn expression before he suddenly spoke, and as soon as the words fell, a lazy voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Is it finally over?"

Joshuel stretched his arms lazily and yawned out of the darkness, he glanced at the half-kneeling black shadow beside Enoch and smiled, "It seems that the plan is on track." ”

"Don't you need to wait? With Moron's cunning, it was impossible to let Eckhart and the Guards go lightly, and it would be very bad if they turned around halfway. ”

A mature and charming voice sounded. Enoch tilted his head to the side, and saw a graceful woman in sight. Her face was shrouded in a black veil that made it impossible to see her true face, and her whole body exuded a mysterious and strange smell.

She was Castile. Known as the "Wicked Woman of Twilight" in the Querofi Intelligence Circle, Charan once accidentally knew about this woman when he tried to find out the information of Viscount Moron, but unfortunately fate made people, and in the end he did not meet the other party.

Otherwise, who would have thought that she would be the shadow of the "Ancestral Meeting" that had been arranged in Quirofi a long time ago.

Joshuel pursed his lips, as if he didn't like the woman very much, and said, "Enoch, do you want to listen to this woman and continue to stay here and wait?" ”

"The original plan remains the same! I'll be the first to know if there's any movement on Eckhart's side, so we don't have to worry about the danger of them turning around against us. Enoch muttered.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to secretly plant a lot of chess pieces in the Guards Legion, it seems that I was too worried. Castilee smiled slightly.

"But I'm wondering about something." Enoch didn't show any sense of accomplishment on his face. Instead, his brows furrowed, "Since Viscount Moron is willing to let Eckhart and the Guards leave, what confidence does he have to face us?" I don't think he will fail to see what we have planned for him. ”

"The matter has come to this, it is impossible for us to give up the plan we have planned so far, no matter what Viscount Moron has hidden behind us, we can only rise to the challenge!" Castilee sighed.

"Hehe, I'd like to see what a little viscount can do against us." Joshuel sneered on the sidelines.

"Will it be the Radiant Temple?" Enoch muttered alone.

"Impossible! In the information I have obtained, the "Radiant Sanctuary" has clearly rejected Viscount Moron's request for rescue! Castile, who had sharp ears, apparently heard Enoch's words and said categorically.

"What if your information is wrong? It's all of us who will be buried with us! Joshuel snorted coldly.

"Don't worry, my life is much more precious than yours, and I won't joke with my life." Castilee gave Jo Huel a cold look.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two was getting stronger, Enoch waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to quarrel. Lead our men to Castle Viva, and the outcome will be decided. ”

……

In the end, Alvat didn't turn the desires in his heart into reality, and the only remaining reason in his brain told him that he must not act rashly until he really knew about Xia Lan's life and death. Being able to resist stubbornly under Alonsos's "sacrifice of faith" is not at all a survival point that he can handle, in case Xia Lan successfully escapes and comes back alive, once he discovers that Pandelia is different. The other party will never let go of himself.

However, when Pandelia noticed the greedy possessive desire exposed in that gaze, Alvat clearly felt her alienation from her on the way back to the march. Even when you get close to each other, you can feel a strong hostility and rejection!

After all, I was careless.

He began to stop approaching Pandelia, trying to use time to slowly erase the gap between the two sides. Even if he knew that the desired outcome was minimal.

On the surface, it seems that Charan wants him to lead the army to escort Pandelia from Alonsos's pursuit, and even get rid of Alonsos's influence on this army, Alvat knows very well that even if this remnant army has a large number of officers loyal to him, once Alonsos returns, with his prestige in the army for many years, it is easy to cause the division and confrontation of this remnant army, and then a civil war will be inevitable!

At the same time, he can understand Xialan's intention to set up Pandelia to become the lord of Querofi, if he really has such a plan, in fact, he can have another choice, that is, to unite with Koloin's Banroft to stand on his own, with the armies of the two and the rich grain production of Koloin's vast plains, coupled with Pandelia's status, he can definitely become a rising force that cannot be ignored in Sisina!

However, Xia Lan didn't choose to do so, maybe he was worried about something, or maybe he had bigger ambitions! Otherwise, he wouldn't have ordered them to lead their army back to Querofe and take advantage of the fire!

The situation of Querofi is unknown, but there must have been a sea change in it that he didn't know about!

The appearance of the "ancestors' public opinion" alone can illustrate a qiē.

What awaits them is an unknown fate, the song of blood and fire lingers faintly in their ears, the long sword cuts through the thorns, through the layers of fog, what is it in that invisible world that attracts them forward.

Is it time to turn back, is it time to stop, is it time to continue to move forward? (To be continued......)
