Chapter 90: Alice's Uneasiness
A golden dragon and an elf met, you look at me, I look at you, they are all embarrassed.
It's only been a few years since the end of the last war, and I thought I could live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect that the two old comrades-in-arms had already gone into battle again and were still reunited on the battlefield.
"Beccaria, I haven't seen you for a few years, why do you seem to have gained a lot more weight? If you continue like this, I'm afraid you'll soon become the fattest golden dragon on the Elryon Cliff! Elven heroine Alice teased her dragon friend, her beautiful face smiling like a flower, "After leaving the battlefield, should you eat and sleep on the dragon cliff every day, sleep and eat?" ”
The elves are quite polite to the powerful allies of the forest dragons, not as dismissive as other races, and some elves will befriend these dragons for some reason, like Alice and Beccaria.
For the ridicule of old friends and old comrades-in-arms, the golden dragon Beccaria was a little annoyed: "Alice little girl, I told you, don't just make such a joke with a golden dragon!" The Golden Dragons are not the same as the Elves, they are a race that doesn't like to joke! Why can't you remember? I'll be angry if you do this again! ”
The golden dragon's huge and deep voice rumbled in the sky like rolling thunder, and he pretended to stare at the elven heroine with his huge eyes, and opened his mouth to reveal a mouthful of sharp teeth: "I'm worried that I'll swallow you in one bite!" ”
Alice was indifferent to the dragon's intimidation, and instead covered her pointed ears with her hands long before Beccaria could speak.
"You are still so stern, not gentle at all, is this your attitude towards juniors as an elder?" She laughed and winked at the other party, not caring at all about the other party's fierce appearance.
Beccaria shook her huge head helplessly, and no longer continued to raise the bar with the other party, but asked about this mission: "The Golden Dragon Queen asked me to come over and obey your command for the time being, I was still a little unhappy, but I didn't expect it to be your team leader, I knew this, I don't have to sulk along the way!" How did you elves do it, why are you suddenly going to war when you are allies with the Human Empire of Erathia? ”
Jin Long's words made Alice obviously a little embarrassed: "Beccaria, what are you talking about?" I'm just a soldier, it's my duty to obey the Elven King's command, and besides, the Elven King is doing this to restore the glory of our forest race, otherwise how could the Golden Dragon Queen send you to help? We elves are not a warlike race! ”
"But if I go to war with Erathia, I'm worried that I'll run into some old friends, and I don't want to fight them on the battlefield!" Jin Long sighed, his eyes became a little melancholy, "Some of them even saved my life!" ”
The elven heroine was also silent.
As Beccaria said, in the last war, due to the fact that the two countries fought together many times, some human heroes did have close relationships with elven heroes, and some even had friends of life and death, and even Alice himself had a close relationship with Adra, the heroine of the Erathian Empire.
They had fought together against Kerrigan's army, and they both felt sorry for each other for each other's strength and commanding skills.
Alice was even more puzzled by the elves' consistent xenophobia, in her eyes, those human heroes and soldiers, whether in courage or dedication, were no worse than the elves.
She found that the truth seemed to be somewhat different from what had been passed down from generation to generation among the elves.
The number of elves like her is gradually increasing, and the last war has made the elves who were once closed off have left the forest and re-understood the outside world, and a new trend of thought is emerging among the young elves, but this trend of thought is still in a state of secrecy, because in the elven race, tradition cannot be questioned, otherwise it will be regarded as heresy.
"I'm a soldier, do you have a choice? And the Erathian Empire is now in a period of weakness, I don't think there will be a large-scale war between the two countries before, I hope the situation you said will not happen! ”
Dispelling these chaotic thoughts, Alice turned her energy to the battle she was about to face: "Beccaria, what do you think is the situation in Hammondale now, I really can't believe that Ivo will lose with several times more troops than the other party, could it be that the elven king guessed wrong?" ”
At this time, light snow began to fall in the sky again, and the cold weather made the golden dragon Beccaria, who was accustomed to the four seasons of Eri's spring-like climate, a little uncomfortable, and he snorted fiercely before replying: "If the other party really has any powerful treasures, it is not impossible for Ivo to fail, that kid I know, his courage makes him too light!" ”
"And if he fails? What do you think Hammondale will be like now? Could they already know what we're doing? And then already prepared? ”
"Elf girl, it seems like you're the commander of this operation, right? Don't ask me this and that! Think about it with your brain! I'm just a golden dragon, not a military strategist! I'm good at fighting, it's up to you to decide the strategy and tactics! ”
The grumpy Golden Dragon grew impatient, and he snarled to interrupt Alice's questioning, his mind full of frustration that the enemy he might meet was an old friend.
Seeing that the golden dragon was in a bad mood, Alice had no choice but to stop the discussion, due to the serious lack of intelligence, she really couldn't make a proper tactical arrangement now, but just flew directly to Hammondale, she was worried about whether she would fall into the enemy's trap.
In her guess, nine times out of ten, the humans of Hammondale knew what was going on on her side, but she had no way of knowing what the enemy would do.
The previous situation was completely unreliable, and although Ivo was impulsive and sometimes underestimated, he was still an excellent commander, and even if he couldn't beat the other side, he could escape, and there was no reason why he couldn't even send a battle report back.
Unless he and all the armies he leads have been wiped out by the other side.
This thought made Alice even more uneasy, was it because the intelligence was inaccurate and the enemy's strength far exceeded the Elven King's imagination, or did the enemy really have some magical treasure, and this treasure was powerful enough to annihilate an army of nearly a thousand people in one fell swoop?
Either way, Alice didn't want to face it, and if she had to choose, she would rather face the first situation, so that at least she could retreat if she was defeated, as in the latter case, the variables would be too great.
"Beccaria, your golden dragon is faster than the green dragon and my Pegasus knight, why don't you and your companions go ahead and go to Hammondale to see how things go?"
Alice decided that she couldn't fight blindly like this, at least she had to find out the general situation of her opponent first, and she looked at her dragon friend with a helping look.
Beccaria, who deliberately lowered his flight speed and maintained the formation of the group, hesitated for a moment and agreed.
"That's fine, go over and see now, and you'll know sooner if you're going to run into those damn guys! Then I'll go first, you guys catch up as soon as possible! ”
"Be careful yourself, if the situation is not good, don't hold on like that time, come back early! I'm waiting for your news! Alice confessed uneasily.
Beccaria glanced at the female elf with some dissatisfaction, and then took the other two golden dragons in the middle to speed up, and in a moment their backs disappeared into the snowy sky.
