"Look at how deep the water really is. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]"

Ma Long replied as he drew his sword out of the river and tested the wet part of the blade with his fingers.

"Shall we cross the Elvin River here and go to the other side? But it's so dark in the woods on the other side, it's terrible! ”

Althea said reluctantly.

"No matter where you cross the river, isn't it the twilight forest on the other side...... The river here is not knee-high, and if Paul and they don't find a more suitable position, we'll cross the river here. ”

Malone reluctantly explained to Althea.

"Alright then, Marlon, we'll all listen to you!"

Althea smiled like a flower and gave a thumbs up to Marlon.

"Okay, I got ......"

Marlon shook his head with a wry smile, then sat down on the grass by the river.

"Marlon, I just saw you in the Gnoll's camp! Did you learn all your fighting skills from Marshal Anduin? ”

Althea also ran to Marlon like a piece of kraft candy and sat down, then asked with a winkling eye.

"Yes, my father and mother left very early, and I can say that I didn't see them at all...... Uncle Anduin raised me, and I learned all these things from him about military affairs and martial arts. ”

Malone replied.

"Yes...... Is that so? Sorry ......"

Althea bowed her head sadly—she didn't expect Marlon to have such a bleak background.

"It's okay, Althea, you don't have to blame yourself, those things have been in the past for a long time."

Malone smiled and comforted Althea.

"Marlon...... You're such a ......."

Althea looked at Marlon and wanted to say something, but suddenly her face turned red and she pursed her lips tightly.

"What is it?"

Now it's Marlon's turn to be curious.

"I ...... I would like to say...... You're such a ...... Gentle, kind people ......"

Althea whispered, her head down so that Malone could not see her flushed cheeks.

Marlon looked at the girl in front of him with a smile, he was not a fool, on the contrary, he knew very well what Althea was thinking.

From any point of view, Althea is a very attractive girl, she is beautiful and generous, pure and innocent, and her delicate face and bumpy body make even Ma Long, who is used to seeing beautiful women in modern times, often feel excited.

Malone knows what Althea's shyness means now, and he also has a good impression of this girl, and on any occasion, he may develop further with Althea, but now......

Now Ma Long's most important task is to take this team of refugees to Nighttown as much as possible to settle down and escape the search of the orcs.

Further into the future, Malone also plans to save more Stormwind refugees, and rush to Blackstone Mountain to save his uncle Anduin Lothar before the final battle between the Alliance and the Horde.

There are so many things that need to be done, and Malone doesn't have the energy and time to deal with Althea's feelings for him now.

"Marlon, you...... What are you thinking? ”

Althea quietly raised her head and saw Marlon looking at her smiling, so she asked suspiciously.

Of course, there was a little worry mixed in with this doubt - Althea was a little worried that something strange had become in her.

"Me? I was thinking about Althea's words before you...... Are you really going to become the commander of a newly formed militia regiment? ”

Malone asked with a smile.

"Of course! Isn't it possible? ”

Althea's eyes widened and she asked.

"But...... In that case, you're going to go to war! If you encounter an orc...... Can you muster up the courage to fight them? ”

Marlon had a smile on his face and a relaxed tone, but in Althea's ears, it was a little unpleasant.

"Why not? I...... I'm just a woman, but ...... I can go to war too! ”

Althea said angrily, trying to pull out the dagger from her waist and swing it again to prove that she could use weapons as well.

"Okay, okay...... But Althea, you must know that those orcs are very strong, even men, it is difficult to defeat them one-on-one, and if you go to the battlefield, you will definitely not be their opponents. ”

Malone admonished Althea as he waved his hand to stop Althea from wielding a dagger.

"I'm not afraid!"

Althea said firmly.

"It's not a question of fear or not, but it will cause unnecessary casualties...... If you get hurt or something else happens, how sad Daddy Erro will be! ”

After all, Marlon is a human being in two lives, and although his age is not much different from Althea, there is always a sense of comfort in his tone.

"This ...... This one...... That's because I wasn't trained in this area since I was a kid! If...... If I had a marshal uncle as a teacher like you, Malone, I wouldn't be much worse than those orcs! ”

Althea listened to Ma Long's words, thought of her father, and her mood to go to the battlefield was obviously much more restrained, but she still muttered a little unconvinced.

"Well...... Uncle Anduin won't be back anytime soon, but if you're interested, Althea, I can teach you some martial arts techniques when we're settled. ”

Malone said with a smile.

"Really?"

Althea's eyes shone with a strange look - although she had a lively personality, she had not learned professional fighting skills after all, and she was always unconfident that she would be able to fight the enemy like a man on the battlefield.

And now, Ma Long, who was originally her sweetheart, promised to teach her martial arts skills, how could this news not make Althea excited?

"Really, I promise."

Malone blinked and said lightly - in such a war, whether it is a man or a woman, it is always right to learn a little means of self-defense.

"Marlon, you're so nice!"

Althea looked at Malone affectionately and said.

"This, ahem......"

Malone felt a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that this was such a simple sentence that would make Althea what she is now-the undisguised emotion in her eyes really made Malone a little overwhelmed.

"By the way, Marlon, you just said that if I get hurt, my father will be sad...... What about you? ”

Althea seemed to have thought of something, she sat up straight and asked seriously.

"Huh? What the? ”

Marlon didn't understand Althea's words.

"That is...... If I'm hurt, Marlon, you...... Will it be sad too? Only...... Just like my father! ”

Althea's cheeks twitched and asked in a whisper. xh118
