"Ares, Crorey, Gianna?"

Twilight Harbor, when Ares and Gianna reappeared, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

There had been no news for a month, and even Jean thought that they had died in battle, and was worried about not knowing how to explain to Dalin, but now, suddenly three figures appeared, and they seemed unscathed.

Jean looked at the three of them in almost amazement. A hint of reason was written on his face, but the shame of defeat made him reluctant to get too close to Crolley and Ares, after all, his army was defeated, and Crolley and Ares, with a small number of soldiers, killed the Basilica of Light. This difference in results made Jean feel ashamed.

He walked over and hugged Crowley and Gianna with his thick arms, and finally, reluctantly punched Ares in the chest, admiring his courage and strength. But I never changed my words, and I saw the wrong person at that time......

"You've been missing for a month, and I thought you'd never come back."

Walking into the army camp in Twilight Harbor, everyone sat down. Greymane greeted first, holding up his glass and shouting happily, then drank the liquor from the glass to celebrate the return of his comrades and allies.

"We must come back, my king. Gilneth still needs us. You still need me. ”

Crowley replied, grabbing the glass in front of him and snorting it down. Jean was a little surprised by the action in front of him, in the past, Crollec was an elegant lord, he drank very little, this spirit, at most half a glass, began to get drunk, at the banquet, he rarely drank this spirit, but today, he drank a whole glass in one go......

Crowley finished drinking and spat out a cloud of white heating from his mouth. A comfortable look.

"Alas, yes, I still need you, old friend, more warriors, but we have no reinforcements, no way out. In the last battle, our troops suffered heavy casualties, and more than 3,000 of my men were killed in that battle, and they were bitten by those evil beasts, and those who were not bitten were probably the same kind of blood-toothed werewolves. Damn beasts! ”

At the wine table, Jean was resentful. His mood was more lost than before, but he was also more irritable and somewhat capricious than before. Ares guessed that something must have happened in Port Twilight, Jean's base camp in the month that he and Gianna had left.

"Beast...... Yes, they are a bunch of inhuman beasts. What about Liam? Why didn't I see him? ”

As he spoke, Crolley suddenly remembered Prince Gilneis, who looked around, but could not see the little prince. Historically, Liam has tended to be at his most enthusiastic. He is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere on the field and is a well-loved prince.

However, as soon as Crolley's words fell, Ares noticed that the expression on the old king's face immediately became bad. He sat on the throne as if he was paralyzed, his head propped up in one hand, and his expression of pain was as if something big was about to happen.

"Liam, he's dead."

Jean said calmly. He replied in such a positive that everyone immediately believed the old king's words...... He never lied, yes, he never lied. But Ares sensed something was wrong......

"Dead? Is this true? ”

Crowley asked, surprised.

"Yes, it's true."

"When?"

Crolley asked.

"Half a month ago."

Jean said, the expression on his face growing heavier, and it was clear that he didn't want to talk too much about it. His only son died, which is almost a white-haired man sending a black-haired man. One of the saddest things in the world.

"How did you die?"

Immediately after Crowley's questioning, Ares asked.

"Killed by a werewolf."

Jean said impatiently, and at the same time, he made a gesture to signal that the discussion was over.

"What unfortunate news. My king. ”

Crowley said, picking up his glass and taking another sip. At this time, Jean was almost dumbfounded, this great lord was raised by him, since he was a child, he had not drunk more than two glasses, and if the second glass went down, he would definitely vomit and sleep for a day. But now it seems that this is not the case, and his mental condition is still very good......

"Don't mention him, my son is a hero, he died for Gilneth, he died in battle, but it was glorious and did not dishonor my expectations of him. He is my pride. Tell me, Crorey, where have you and Ares, and Gianna, all this time gone? ”

Jean said, poking his head out, as if he were observing prey, observing Crowley, as if trying to find a clue in this strange former companion, a hint of difference, although Crowley still looked like Crowley, he was almost as good as when he first set out, in good health, with straight hair, and in good spirits.

"We're going to help you find reinforcements, Your Majesty."

Crowley said, slamming his glass down. Now, Ares and Gianna knew that their friend, the noble lord of Gilneis, wanted to tell Jean the secret of the werewolf. This was the most important moment, and as Crolley's words fell, Ares couldn't help but put his hand closer to the weapon.

"Reinforcements?"

"Oh, it can't be. There can be no other survivors in Gilneth, I have ruled this land for fifty years, I have been to every corner of it, the west coast is full of dense biting reefs, even the ghost fleet of the Scourge cannot sail into my harbor, this kingdom, there can be no other humans. Not to mention reinforcements. ”

Jean first looked skeptical, and then swore to refute Crowley's "nonsense".

"No, my king, I suppose you don't know your kingdom very well, we have reinforcements, moreover, a mighty one. This army is made up of our people, who have been through the baptism of war, the ordeal of countless swords and blood, and he is stronger than you can imagine, Your Majesty. ”

Crolley said, his tone rising in. He looked at Jean's surprised and disdainful expression, and the generosity and justice in his heart burned.

"If there really is such an army, then why didn't it appear when we attacked the royal city before? Hiding in the shadows and watching his compatriots die in the claws of the blood-toothed werewolves, is this their allegiance to the king? ”

Jean roared.

"Because you didn't let them appear, you abandoned them, and you don't think they deserve to be your people."

Crowley replied calmly. Ares was relieved that Crolley was finally able to control his emotions well. Now it seems that he is almost indistinguishable from a human. As long as he's willing to remain in human form.

"Hmph, I'm Jean. Greyman, never abandon my people, and if they exist, where are they? Can you prove it to me? Crowley. ”

Sitting on the throne, Jean said resentfully.

"I am the best proof of this, my king."

Crowley replied calmly. As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to swell, and with the sound of dislocation of bones and stretching of muscles, Crowley's shirt and vest soon cracked open, and thick hair gradually grew on his arms, thighs, and body, and his hands became as thick as beasts, and his delicate nails turned into sharp claws, and his head, mouth and nose stretched out, forming a large mouth of blood. Sharp teeth even show beyond the lips.

"Monster!"

The officers and soldiers at the table immediately erupted in a cry of terror. They drew their swords and stood up.

"My king, I am part of the support army, I am a Gilneth man, a true Gilneth man, I have become a werewolf, but I still have human consciousness and reason. Your Majesty, there are many people like me in this kingdom, they are all your reinforcements, and they are all eager to pay allegiance to you again. ”

Crowley said earnestly. The crowd around them almost opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't imagine that this standard lingua franca came from the mouth of this monster. Is he Lord Crowley? There was a big question mark in everyone's hearts. How did he become like this?!
