Chapter 476: Reunion with Gruul
Because of Gruul's relationship, Terdar and Belen are also slightly connected, and the Asian League is not a military secret, so Terdar took Belen and Lumia to walk around the Asian League, and talked about many things along the way.
From Terdar's mouth, it turns out that the total number of soldiers in the Asian League is not large, only tens of thousands, which is much less than the imperial army.
And this time the Demon King Army attacked again, and the Asian League also sent out four-fifths of the fighters, and half of the remaining one-fifth were new fighters who had been in the team for less than three years, after all, the base camp could not be without warriors.
Besides, there was an incident that happened, that is, there were demons lurking in the city of Futandis to kill wantonly, and a lot of people died at that time, because there were few soldiers left at that time, almost all of them went to the front line, so they couldn't stop those demons, if it weren't for the arrival of reinforcements, probably the entire city would have been in ruins.
Therefore, leaving a fifth of the fighters is also to avoid such a thing happening again.
Futantis is the closest non-border city to the border, and the demons may have raided here to attack from both sides and encircle and break the northwest theater.
However, Belen didn't care much about this, although the Northwest Theater suffered heavy losses that time, but the demon side did not succeed in breaking it, so it was a blessing in misfortune if you thought about it.
As for now, since there are so many warriors left here, it is obviously impossible for them to rely on the original forces to succeed in the surprise attack, so they don't have to worry too much about this incident.
On this day, outside Futantis, Belen was moving alone, and there was no Lumia by his side, because Lumia was taking the wolf cub to the forest to forage for food, and occasionally needed to move her muscles.
"Is this it?"
Belen muttered and walked to the outside of a town, he found that the town seemed to be under renovation, and there were few people around, probably at this time the workers were resting, right?
So, is Grull here?
Belen only knew the approximate location of Gruul from the information he received yesterday in the Asian League, but he was not sure if it was in this town, as there were other towns not far away.
There was a wooden fence on all sides, presumably to keep out wild beasts, and Belen went around the fence and into the town, with people carrying things around.
Belen swept over the people who came and went, and if it was Gruul, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize it at a glance, because there are too many subhuman races here, and there are no shortage of wolf subhumans.
Walking to a construction site that was still under construction, Belen looked around, he was about to ask someone, but at this moment, an anxious voice suddenly came from his ears.
"Be careful!"
And Belen also felt the movement, he looked up, and found that a huge piece of wood was falling towards him, and just as he was about to move, suddenly a figure flew by, and kicked the wood out with great precision.
"Are you alright?"
"Thanks, I didn't..."
Hearing the greeting, Belen also turned his head to look at the person who helped him, but when he didn't finish speaking, his eyes slowly widened to reveal a look of surprise. And the person who helped Belen also opened his gray eyes at this moment, and the two of them called each other's names in unison at this moment.
"Grull!"
"Bey, Belen!?"
At this moment, Gruul is already much taller than he was back then, probably because of training, he is about to catch up with Belen at the moment, and his appearance has not changed much, but his immature face has become more handsome.
"Are you alright?"
Suddenly, a worker came running over, and he said with some concern: "Sorry, the construction here is not strong, and it is easy for wood to fall." ”
"It's okay." Belen looked at the worker, then smiled and shook his head.
Immediately afterward, Belen and Gruul left the place and went to an open area where there were several stakes to sit and talk.
Belen smiled and said, "It's a shame that you recognized me at once." ”
Although his appearance has not changed, because of his gray hair, his whole temperament has become a little different, and he and Gruul have not seen each other for two years, and the latter can recognize him at once, which is also a little surprising to him.
"I just blurted it out subconsciously, haha!" The wolf boy, who had grown up a lot, responded with a grin, then his eyes fell on Belen's hair, and asked curiously, "Why is your hair all white?" ”
Hearing this, Belen smiled and said, "I just want to change the color, don't you think my temperament is different?" "Although it's a terrible reason.
"Well, it's a little different." Grull blinked, then grinned, "You've changed a lot more than I have, haven't you noticed that you've become more prone to smiling?" ”
In Gruul's impression, Belen is a person who is not good at expressing emotions, but now he feels different, and if he wants to say it, it should be more vivid.
"I think so too." For this, Belen has long known from several people, and he does not hate his changes, on the contrary, he is somewhat gratified.
Immediately afterward, Belen asked, "Are you here to help build the house?" ”
"yes." Grull nodded, but seemed to think of something again, and grinned: "It's not all, there are occasional beast attacks here, so I will help repel those beasts until the protective measures are completed in the next few days, I am very powerful now!" ”
After listening to Gruul's words, Belen also felt a little funny, because the wolf boy was looking at him with a "praise me" expression, so he praised: "It seems that Grull has also become stronger." ”
"Of course! I've been trained very brutally in the past two years, and now I'm not the same as I was at the beginning! Grull stood up, looking up proudly.
Belen's blue pupils looked at the wolf boy, his eyes glowed with a faint blue light, and after a moment, he nodded and said, "It has indeed grown a lot." ”
"Huh?"
Grull also looked at Belen, and then let out a startled sigh, staring curiously at the pair of blue pupils and asking, "Why did you even change the color of your eyes?" ”
"Well... Changing the color once in a while, maybe you can see something different? "Belen has come up with a very bad reason again, otherwise what should I say?
"Even if you forget about your hair, how can you change the color of your eyes casually?" Grull blinked in confusion, he had never heard of anything like this.
Belen said with a smile: "The world is so big, there are always some things you don't know." ”
Hearing this, Grull also suddenly realized, he said: "It makes sense! ”
