At nightfall, Howard took El Zakin and a dozen others. Chewing the Sichuan Liao, the valley. Rushed to the mountainous area where Chen Jian and the others were.

The Angel Clan has lived in this area for a long time, and Howard and the others are naturally familiar with it, and after a period of time, they successfully rendezvous with Chen Jian and the others.

Erzak didn't recognize Jian Chen, but he recognized the poisonous scorpion lion, and he also found the Minotaur of Batty, and his heart was immediately overjoyed.

The Negans have always been the opponents of the Empire, and the last major war was the capture of the imperial capital of Standwick by these Negan expeditionary forces, during which the raiding and destruction of the area and the rest of the empire are still fresh in the memory of the Empire.

Although many of Negan's powerful black dragons came to the land of the empire because of the appearance of the angel clan and became the raw materials for the empire to make various magic props, the angel clan also paid great sacrifices and lost a lot of manpower.

In other words, the Angels and the Negans are friends and foes.

But now, Howard seems to be meeting with the Negans and holding secret talks because of Acerena?

Elzak almost laughed out loud. He found out that Howard was really old and confused, even if he wanted to leave the empire and join other forces. And how can you choose Negan's lord? As long as tonight's incident sees the light, I am afraid that it will be easy for Howard to step down.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky, if there was no accident, Pierce should have taken the elders of the clan with him at this time. I followed myself and my party to the neighborhood.

Then he looked around again, although it was late at night, and he couldn't really see it, but Elzac knew that with Howard's attention to this matter, in addition to the more than ten angels he brought, there must be a lot of people on Esrena's side, and now none of these people can see it, obviously hiding around and secretly guarding.

What made him even more concerned was that among the Negans opposite, there were also many archangels who were obviously dressed differently from the warriors in the clan.

By the light of the moon, Elzak found that the twenty or so archangels were all wearing the same uniforms as the Negan soldiers who rode on the poisonous scorpion lions, and the styles of weapons and equipment were also very different from ordinary angel warriors, and after looking at them for a while. Elzak recognized some of them as the angels who had run away with Acerena.

This discovery made Elzac more certain of his judgment, he thought that after Acereina ran away, he actually took someone to join a certain Negan Lord, and now, Howard wants to get in touch with that Negan Lord through Esrena's relationship, but he doesn't know if Howard intends to raise the clan to join each other and let the Angel Clan break away from the empire.

Now, however, Elzak thinks it's okay if it's uncertain, and whatever the truth is, he'll charge Howard with trying to collude with Lord Negan to betray the whole family. The Council of Elders then stepped in to remove Howard from power and then elect him as the new patriarch.

At this time, Howard turned around and explained a few words to everyone, asking everyone to wait here and be on guard, and then he took Erzac to greet Chen Jian and the others.

And Jian Chen and Moriel also greeted them under the guidance of Esrena, but before the two sides could say a word, there was a sudden change in the field.

Some Archangel warriors who were hidden in the surrounding darkness suddenly let out a rapid warning sound. Some archangels suddenly jumped out of hiding places and rose into the air.

The sudden change caught everyone off guard, they looked up through the gap between the canopies, but saw that in the sky, I don't know when dozens of angel people had appeared, and they were falling rapidly towards the ground at this time, and the direction of their whereabouts was where everyone was, and they didn't know how they found everyone's tracks in the dark, and what was even more surprising was that these people obviously had bad intentions, and there was a cold glow in the air caused by the reflection of the moonlight from the metal weapons.

Looking at Howard again, he was also stunned. Monail couldn't help but be furious, and asked sharply, "Didn't you bring them here?" ”

Previously passed the air mage in the Guard. Chen Jian and Morriel had already noticed that another team of angels had followed Howard and his party to the vicinity, and they were a little puzzled, but Acerena thought that it must be the people brought by her grandfather to ensure the safety of the meeting, and confirmed the identity of the angel clan who came. Jian Chen and Moryl didn't think much about it. I didn't expect Howard to seem to know nothing about it. At the moment, both of them were shocked and angry.

Howard was also shocked and angry, he really couldn't figure out what was wrong, he was very careful along the way, and from time to time asked Elzac to confirm that there was no one following him, and he didn't find anything abnormal, but what is the situation now?

Seeing his shocked face, Moriel didn't care to confirm the truth with him, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "What's going on." Pitfall! Protect the President! ”

At this time, the soldiers of the presidential guard had already taken action one after another, surrounding Chen Jian in the center. The manticore cavalry unsheathed their swords and wound their arrows, and Bhatty and other magicians also took out the magic skills that were specially distributed to them for the purpose of the concave horn operation, and the blessing buff magic was also added to Chen Jian and his own hands respectively, and the twenty angel warriors belonging to the alliance side with complicated expressions also drew out their steel swords and steel shields carefully made by the hill dwarves, and guarded them on the periphery and above everyone's heads.

Moryl also drew her magic sword. Esrena, who was standing in front of Jian Chen, was originally rushing towards Howard, but at this time she was completely stunned, she looked up at the dozens of menacing angels that were falling sharply in the sky, and then looked at her grandfather who was in doubt not far away, her heart was confused and at a loss.

She didn't believe that her grandfather would use herself to calculate Jian Chen, because her grandfather had no reason to do this, there must be something inside here, but now this situation is really unreasonable, and grandpa, as the initiator of this incident, should not let such an unexpected situation happen at all.

It took a while for her to come back to her senses and see that the angels of unknown origin had fallen into the field. She hurriedly retreated to the direction where Jian Chen and the others were, took out her long sword and guarded the periphery with the twenty angels, and then angrily asked in the direction of Howard, "Grandpa, what is going on?" Didn't you bring them? ”

At this time, Howard was already surrounded by more than a dozen angels he brought this time, and his face was blue and white at this time, and the anger in his heart was even worse, because he had already seen the person clearly

。

So he didn't answer Esrena's question, but said in a loud voice in the direction where Jian Chen was: "Guest, I'm really sorry, I was too careless!" But please don't get bored and leave the matter to me! After that, I will apologize to you! ”

Jian Chen didn't make a sound, just watched the changes in the field, and his face was also cloudy.

Elzac pretended to be dignified behind Howard and protected Howard with the other angels. While secretly observing everyone's reactions.

The people who came were naturally the elders of the angel clan led by Pierce and the people they brought.

Hearing Howard's words, Pierce, who had already discovered the existence of the scorpion lion and the minotaur Barty like Elzac, sneered: "Guest? When will the Angels welcome guests from Negan? If I'm not mistaken, the angels have only enemies and no friends in Negan! Or are these guests not guests of the Angel Clan, but you, Howard's own guests? The rest of the elders were also unkind at this time, including those who were originally close to Howard, and their faces were even more ugly when they saw that Acerena and the other twenty angels who had left at the beginning were now mixed with the Negans.

"Howard, you have to explain this! What exactly are you and these Negans doing here? An elder who had always been on Howard's side said in a deep voice.

"Didn't Esrena say she ran away? Why is it here again? Still with those Negans? It seems like you're not unaware, Howard! Could it be that she didn't run away from the bow? The other elder who was with Pierce was yin and yang, and directly exposed Howard's previous lies.

This sentence made the gloating expressions on the faces of the elders of Pierce's gang even thicker, and on the other hand, the faces of the elders who stood on Howard's side were even more ugly.

Howard's face was also ugly, the situation at this time was extremely unfavorable to him, and it was obvious that there must be a mole in the hands of the people on his side, otherwise it would be impossible for the other party to detect such a secret action, thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Elzac, it was Elzac who was responsible for monitoring the actions of Pierce and others, but the other party made such a big move, but he didn't know anything, and Elzac was really guilty.

But Howard didn't suspect Elzac for a while, he had a very good impression of this very intelligent clansman who was the same generation as his son, so he didn't realize that everything was secretly planned by Elzac.

Elzac's acting skills are also superb, seeing Howard looking at him, he just pretended to be confused and shook his head, and at the same time regretted that Pierce and the others moved a little too fast, so that he had no way to know the true identity of those Negans on the other side, and the real purpose of Howard and these Negans here.

But thinking that he was about to replace Howard as the patriarch, his regret quickly disappeared, as long as his plan could go smoothly, what Howard and these Negans wanted to do. It doesn't make any sense to him anymore.

Moreover, he didn't want to make a big deal about it, if it involved the Negans, it would be good for the Angel Clan to deal with it themselves, and if the empire knew about it, it would be very troublesome.

At this time, the angels who were originally sent to act with Acereina also gathered around Che Huade, and the three groups of people had completely different positions, but the number of people was about the same, so the situation on the field was temporarily deadlocked.
