"Humph!" Yuri snorted coldly, and he put the blanket on the ground over his head.

"Yuri, according to the new orders of the Grand Crusaders and the Attorney General, your current mind is dangerous, very dangerous. So if you can't change your mind soon, leave the Crusaders. Or a few other adults, all of whom quit the Crusaders because of disagreements with the Grand Crusader and the Attorney General, whose minds suit you better. ”

"On the side of the undead barrier, the Grand Lord of Harvey is said to be setting up a new crusade to distinguish us, and in the Eastern Plaguelands, Baron Tyrosus has established an organization called Silver Dawn. Their ideas and actions are very suitable for you. ”

"So, let's go."

"......" Yuri remained silent.

"If you decide to go there, you can find a time to leave quietly, and I'll report you missing on patrol with the above. Also, take this. ”

Calane pulled a shriveled money bag out of his bosom and placed it on the ground, along with the picture of Leon's wife.

"When I came out on patrol, I didn't have much money with me. If you decide to go, grab it. Either way, hopefully you'll make a decision soon. ”

"If you decide to go to Eva, don't forget to help Leon find his family."

Then little Yuri heard Calane stand up, and he hurriedly got out of the blanket and asked, "Why don't you go and give it to Leon's wife yourself?" ”

Hearing this, Calane turned his head and said with a calm face, "Because I don't know if I'll live until then." ”

Yuri fell silent, and just as Karan was about to turn away, Yuri suddenly asked again. "What would you do if you were the one who decided whether or not Stratholme was slaughtering the city at that time?"

“...... I don't know, and I don't need to know. After a brief moment of thought, Calan said with a wry smile. I'm just a non-commissioned officer, I'm used to following orders. I guess if it were me, I'd probably just escalate it and let it be up to me. ”

"What if you're already the supreme commander of that army?" Little Yuri asked in hot pursuit.

Calanbi gestured upwards and said, "Then I'll report to the king." ”

"But Lordaeron is far away."

"Then I'll wait."

“......”

Yuri rubbed his temples.

"I think I really should leave the Crusaders." Taking a deep breath, Yuri said as he picked up Calan's purse and photo. "But I'm not going to go to other adults either."

"I want to walk around the continent alone and see if there are any other answers to the question of Stratholme."

"Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Stratholme was my home, maybe I wouldn't have wavered in the idea of the Crusaders for the rest of my life. But Thomas, you know, now I, whenever I see an innocent.... Or simply when innocent people may be sacrificed by us altogether. I would think that maybe one day we too will be like Alsace who will sacrifice the whole city to preserve the so-called 'big picture'. ”

Of course, we all think this is true now, but what if one day? What do we do when we have to sacrifice two, three, or even more cities to maintain the big picture? What if one day we need to sacrifice 49 percent of the world to protect the other 51 percent? ”

Faced with Yuri's questioning, Karan shook his head categorically!

"That can't be!"

"That's likely! When sacrifice turns from forced to habitual, sacrificing 49 percent of the world's people in exchange for the survival of the other 51 percent, this kind of thing must be done! ”

Karahn didn't speak, he turned his back to Yuri, and looked silently at the curtain of the tent.

"I have asked two people about Stratholme, one is my mentor Eric, who has chosen the same as Alsace; The other is you, and your choices are similar to those of Mr. Uther. But it was these two choices that made Stratholme what it once was, and the tragedy that our crusaders are about to fall into. ”

"So I'm hoping to find another answer, even if I'll probably never find it." Yuri let out a long sigh.

Karahn turned around, and he looked at Yuri calmly, "And what is your answer to this question?" ”

"If I knew, I wouldn't be looking for it anymore, would I?" Yuri got up from the bunk and began to pack up the tent.

Calan watched quietly for a moment, then whispered, "Goodbye friend, may the Light be with you. ”

Yuri's busy figure paused as he heard the curtain of the tent shut.

This was Yuri's last conversation with his best friend.

That night, Yuri quietly left the camp, along with the two recruits who were protecting him. None of the soldiers of Karahn's squad had said anything about their sudden disappearance when they woke up the next day.

When Calane returned to Hearthvale, he only reported to his superiors about the sacrifices they had lost in the battle with the undead.

During the whole process, only the prosecutor Eric Rolsson, who knew the news of Yuri's death in battle, let out a sigh for this.

"Jingle Bell~!"

A crisp bell rang out outside the cabin, followed by the loud voice of Goblin Captain Biwen from outside the cabin.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard the Transporter, we have reached the end of our journey......."

Ignoring the goblin's noise, Norris straightened out the robe on her chest, sweeping out the folds that shouldn't be there. Then, while all the elves around her were not noticing, she secretly took out a small gem-encrusted mirror from her pocket.

A brief look at his image shows that there is nothing wrong with anything other than the fatigue of a long journey. Before the other elves come over. Norris quietly slipped the mirror into her pocket.

"General Morningstar, are we here?"

Norris turned her head to see that Phillale Swift Arrow, who had been temporarily appointed as her lieutenant, was looking curiously at the exit of the cabin not far away.

"Here we are," Nollis nodded, "and there's the harbor of the Silver Pines Forest out there. ”

As if to echo Noris's words, the noise of the whole port suddenly became much louder, and the people outside were buzzing.

Norris didn't speak, she looked at the elves in the cabin, most of them were young elves than herself.

In fact, even with the orders of the Regent of Quel'Thalas, the armies of the Elven Kingdom were reluctant to hand over their elite soldiers to the humans of Lordaeron.

Even the regent said in his order that it was all for the sake of an alliance. Armies everywhere still sent their own thorns in the army, or those who were not strong enough, to Noris.

Looking at these elven people who had arrived with him earlier, Norris had to say something to them. Because most of them have never left their home countries, they have never traveled on the mainland, and this lack of experience will make them suffer a lot.

"Smack! Syllable! ”

Norris clapped her hands, attracting the attention of all the elves present. After keeping their blue eyes focused on herself, Nollis spoke.

"I know that many of you have a mastery of archery, and I know that you are confident in your magic. I also know that you are not interested in anything in the human kingdom in the slightest. You're here more to fulfill your own family, or to fulfill the orders of the army commander. But! ”

Norris paused, "Now that you're here, don't disgrace the kingdom behind us, you're representing Quel'Thalas now!" You ....."

Haider secretly pulled Anna Silvermoon beside her, and as his fiancée turned her head, he motioned to Anna to look at a ranger standing close to Noris.

"Seriously, Heidel. Listen attentively to the general! Anna glared at Heidel and tried to turn her head away.

"I'm here to show you the elves," Anna looked in the direction Haydell pointed, and saw that the uniforms of several rangers were completely different from the green leather armor of their local rangers, they were completely red, representing the red phoenix pattern of the Sunseeker family.

"The Lord Regent has even sent out members of the Sunstrider family," Hayder said with a smile, "It seems that our Lord Lotherma cares a lot about the human lord we are about to serve!" ”

"How is that possible," Anna glanced up and down at the female elves, and she said directly, "The regent doesn't have the right to mobilize the servants of the Sunstrider family, at most they are just the Lord Regent asking someone else to wear the clothes of the Sunstrider family." ”

"The Lord Regent is trying to tell us about the human lord who is about to serve in this form, and that he values the alliance."

"Perhaps," said Haidel disapprovingly, "I am glad to be away from my mother!" ”

Anna frowned instantly, and she turned to look at Hyder and said, "Aunt asked me to come mainly to watch you, and she wants you to become more mature in Lordaeron. If possible....."

"Maybe, who knows. Oh, listen to the general! Heider didn't seem to want to say the next thing to his fiancée, so he changed the subject.

"This is the human kingdom, and their habits and actions may surprise you." Norris calmly looked at the elves under her and said, "So, ignore it, don't say anything about it." And don't show your arrogant side to the humans here, trust me. They are not as stupid as you think. ”

"On the contrary, they are smart. If you're not careful, you won't even know if you've been scammed by them. ”

At this point, Norris paused, hesitated for a moment, and said as the elves watched, "Well, you should know. What does the appearance of our elves mean to humans, they will be extremely obsessed with our appearance. Therefore, do not accept any invitation from humans who have not fully understood the human beings you have deliberately approached. Otherwise, you may end up being cheated out and sold. ”

"Humans aren't all good, just like us elves. There are always traitors in every race. ”
