( ) The Dwarven knight Everritin, led by his Dwarven army, also appeared in the ranks of the Entagri Empire's army that had set out from Stone Castle to attack Hammondal.

As a mercenary army, this is the first time that Everyritin has gone on a mission, but by now, the dwarven knights themselves have been a little confused about whether they are leading a mercenary army that can only rely on selling force for a living, or a well-equipped regular army of the Ntagri Empire.

Because now, he and his soldiers are using the standard equipment provided by the Ntagrean Army, and it is also printed with the conspicuous green oak logo of the Ntagrui Empire, and they have even received some special training provided by the Ntagrui Army, and they have more and more contact with the Ntagri Army, and the soldiers are now open and closed, they have also been Entagre Empire, and they sincerely identify with this empire that shares their ideas.

"Our Empire," the soldiers called the Ntagri Empire.

The soldiers had long since considered themselves part of the Entagri Empire.

The war between the Entagri Empire and the Elven Kingdom, as well as the Erathian Empire, has also received great attention from the soldiers.

"We won"

When the news of the fall of the city of waterfalls came, the soldiers cheered.

When did this begin?

Everyfretin didn't remember, he only knew that it was not only the soldiers who were deeply affected by the peculiar atmosphere of the Ntagrean Army, but he himself was the same, and he himself was not averse to this influence.

He was even excited to be part of the group.

Although he didn't dare to show it in front of Alice and the others, he told Meng Gila in private that this was the happiest day he had ever had in a while.

The Entagri Empire, the Entagri Army, the feeling of giving the dwarven knights is really good.

But the Dwarven Knight had not forgotten who he really was, and he was well aware that he was not yet part of the Entagri Empire.

He was just a mercenary who had been hired by the Entagri Empire.

His allegiance is not to the Entagri Empire, not to Jian Chen, but to the half-elf Gru.

Whenever he saw Alice, who always had a sad face, the dwarven knight was particularly aware of this.

What puzzled the dwarven knights even more was that the current half-elf Gru was commanding the army of the elven kingdom and fighting against the Entagri army.

What's going on here?

What is Gru, the half-elf who convinced him and was willingly driven, thinking now? What to do?

Why is it that everyone is obviously aiming to oppose the violence of the elven kingdom, trying to overthrow the rule of the elven kingdom and establish a new kingdom of racial equality, but at this time, he wants to help the elven kingdom that has been greatly damaged by the blow of the Entagri army?

And from Alice's attitude, the dwarven knight can clearly feel that she is wary of the Entagri Empire, and this is obviously influenced by Gru.

But why should Gru be hostile to the Ntagrean Empire? He has always been just a great man who is indifferent to fame and fortune and only wants to realize the ideal country in his mind? There was no conflict between him and the Entagri Empire.

Everything is wrong, it makes so much sense.

The dwarven knight was confused.

He was a little confused about which side he should be on.

He didn't want to betray Gru, but he also liked the Ntagri Empire.

Some time ago, he had traveled around Negan with Meng Gila, and he couldn't forget what he saw and heard in Negan during that trip, although Genova firmly believed that it was just an illusion created by the Ntagri Empire, but the dwarven knights did not.

How can those smiles from the heart be fake?

He also witnessed first-hand how the hill dwarves lived happily in the empire, and with the help of Hesfar, he found many old friends from the dwarves before they split.

It's all happening.

The Dwarven Knight began to avoid meeting Alice and the others.

And although he was very reluctant, the current situation made him have to start thinking seriously about Meng Gilla's sad speculations.

Was Lloyd's disappearance really because he died of cannibalism? Is the disappearance of the Doomblade a grand conspiracy? What about Gru, and what is Gru's real purpose? Is his proposal for racial equality genuine, or is it just a means? Why did he refuse to leave the Elven Kingdom for a long time, and even helped the Elven Kingdom turn the tide? What does his current behavior represent? Are these people really just pawns that have been used?

At sunset, the day's marching army was stationed somewhere in the territory of Baildes, and in the midst of the tumult, the sporadic campfires began to burn, and Eufrittin settled his soldiers and walked towards Alice's place.

Alice called the crowd to a meeting again.

Don't know what to say? Ten is another reminder to everyone not to forget the old tune of the true allegiance, right?

Thinking like this, the dwarven knight reluctantly moved his steps, he really didn't want to face that situation.

He was the last to reach the campfire where Alice and the others were.

There was a shelf on the campfire, and in a pot hanging from it, the fragrant broth was boiling and fragrant, and the dwarven knight could tell at a glance that it was the work of the human magician Clonis, a master of physical magic, whose greatest hobby besides studying magic and tactics was to make some food by himself.

Some bread and fruit were placed in wooden pots around the campfire, and it seemed that Alice meant that everyone was talking while eating.

The dwarven knight was hungry for a long time, but the oppressive atmosphere around the campfire had drained his appetite, and a huge figure that wasn't supposed to be here attracted the dwarven knight's attention more than the food.

It was a golden dragon.

Beccaria The dwarven knight greeted the Golden Dragon Hero with some surprise, and then looked at Alice with some confusion.

Although Beccaria the Golden Dragon was an important leader of this army and was responsible for commanding the dragon forces, he was not a member of the Gru group himself, and it stands to reason that he had no reason to be in this gathering.

Spotting the questioning eyes of the dwarven knight, Alice gave him an angry look, and then glared at Meng Gila again.

This situation made the dwarven knight understand that tonight's party may not be as monotonous as he imagined, and that something is about to happen.

He subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave, he really didn't want to face that situation, but he also knew that the time to come would always come, and it was useless to escape.

With a sly sigh and a look left and right, the dwarven knight sat down in a position far away from the group, then grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth.

No one spoke first.

Cronis stirred around the pot of broth with a spoon, but visibly absent-minded, his eyes wandering; Jenova was playing with an apple in her hand, but there was anger in her eyes that could not be concealed; Alice and Montella glared at each other without saying a word; After saying hello to the dwarven knight, the golden dragon Beccaria lay on the ground and closed his eyes to recuperate.

After noticing this, the dwarven knight sighed secretly.

"The people have arrived, Alice"

In the end, Meng Terra was the first to speak.

Alice snorted, but didn't say anything, just glanced at Beccaria, but Jenova finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed sarcastically: "Yes, everyone is here, and there is one more."

Beccaria, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard this, and then the golden dragon with an upright personality spoke: "Maybe I shouldn't be at your meeting, Jenova, but if this meeting is about the future of this army, I think as the representative of all the dragons in this army, I have a reason and need to participate in this meeting, right?" It was I who brought my people into this army, they believed in me, and I, too, must be responsible for them."

As he spoke, the golden dragon looked at Alice with an annoyed face: "Alice, it was you who invited me to join this army, I believe in you, for the sake of the righteousness in your mouth, I took those clansmen who share the same ideals as me, betrayed Dragon Cliff, joined you, and fought on the battlefield so far, I regard you as companions, but now, you, and you people, plan to decide the fate of this army behind my back, as well as the fate of me and my people, isn't it fair?" You owe me an explanation, Alice, why the hell did things come to this? What exactly is your idea? What exactly is the purpose of this army? Tell me, Alice, can I still trust you as much as I used to? ”

The golden dragon's voice was not loud, he controlled his voice well, but his anger and resentment were heard by anyone present.

Alice's face flushed from these words: "I never lied to you, Beccaria, you can believe it as you did in the past......"

"No, Alice, I can't trust you," Jin Long interrupted his elf friend, this time, his voice was a little louder, "Even if you didn't lie to me, but you are hiding something from me I have noticed a long time ago, you, and everyone here, this is not the first time you have been together like this, you have excluded me, at first, I thought it was because of my lack of ability, so I didn't care, I knew that as a general, I was not qualified, but this is not the case." , can you deny it? Alice"

Alice was silent.

But she felt very aggrieved.

She had never meant to deceive or hide anything, but Gru had asked for his identity to be kept secret and asked not to recruit new members to join the group for the time being, so what could she do?

She's just doing what she's told.

What's wrong with that?

She glared at Meng Gila again in annoyance, because it was Meng Nara who had brought Beccaria over, and if it weren't for that, she wouldn't have to be so embarrassed in front of the golden dragon.

"You don't have to look at me like that, Alice," Meng Gila spoke again, "I just think that Beccaria has the right and the need to be present when you make up your mind to make some big decisions, because your decisions will have a great impact on him and the dragon warriors he represents, and you must stand in his shoes and think about him."

"And I've always believed in one thing," said the human warrior dressed as a Guardian of the Jungle, accentuating her tone, "our group, this army, was formed to achieve our common ideals, not to be loyal to someone who has been hidden behind the scenes and to be used by him, and it is on this premise that I have been fighting to this day, but, as if you, and some people, don't think so much that you are leading this army away from your original goal. Our army, with great convictions, has become the private army of a certain person? What are you fighting for? ”

Because of Meng Gila's words, Klonis's movements stopped, Jenova got up suddenly, Alice's face also changed greatly, and Eufritin's heart was also shocked.

Gru's existence has never been mentioned in this small group in front of uninformed people, and although Meng Gila did not name names, she pointed out that this army is being secretly manipulated behind the scenes, and she has violated the taboo of this small group.

"Pay attention to your words, Menghuila" Jenova is the most loyal to Gru, so she can't hold back the most.

"I'm just stating a fact" Meng Gila was not angry because of the other party's attitude, she sat motionless, quietly watching everyone's reaction, "Don't worry, I won't tell the identity of that big man, although I no longer agree with his approach, but I don't mean to betray him, you don't need such a big reaction Of course, if any of you want me to disappear like Lloyd because of this, I won't be obedient"

Alice frowned when she heard this, and said angrily: "Meng Gila, what nonsense are you talking about, do you think Lloyd's disappearance has anything to do with us?" ”

"Who knows?" Meng Gila replied coldly, "There are so many things that I can't explain that I really feel sorry for Lloyd, because now, among those of us, there are people who no longer care about his whereabouts and what may happen to him."

"Enough, don't say it anymore"

At this time, Clonis, who had not spoken, finally spoke, and he threw the spoon in annoyance, interrupting the argument of several women: "What you said is not what we are going to discuss today, right?" If we can, I hope we can get to the point sooner Alice, what is the matter with you summoning us? If it's really about the future of this army, it doesn't matter if Beccaria hears about it, right? ”

Because of his words, the field fell silent again.

After a while, reorganizing her emotions, Alice finally began to explain, her expression was obviously a little stiff: "We will join the Entagri Empire, this is what that person meant, he said in the letter, the current situation, he has confirmed that the Entagri Empire should be credible, so he thinks that there is no need for our army to fight alone, we can completely join the Entagri Empire, He continues to fight for our ideals as an Entagrean army, but he wants us not to reveal his existence to the Entagri Empire, he says that he is working on a new plan, and before the plan can be successful, he needs to use the Elven Kingdom, and he hopes that we can do him one last favor."

After listening to Alice's words, everyone reacted differently.

Meng Yi was puzzled, because things were completely different from what she thought, she originally thought that Alice was planning to leave the Entagre army with the army; Cronis, on the other hand, had a complicated expression, and seemed a little unacceptable to such a statement; Eufrittin was stunned and surprised; Beccaria is a bit unclear so; Jenova looked incredulous.

"How so?" Jenova said this distractedly, as if asking Alice, and as if talking to herself.

"I don't know," Alice sighed, equally confused.

At this time, Meng Gila raised her head and glanced at everyone with burning eyes: "I will join the Ntagri Army, but it needs to be explained that I made such a decision, not because it was that person's decision, but based on my own judgment, I will not reveal that person's identity, but in the same way, I will no longer obey him, from now on, I am no longer a member of this group, I will decide how to act according to my own will Alice, please convey my meaning to that person"

After speaking, she fixed her eyes on Eufritin's body: "Eufritin, what do you mean?" ”

The dwarven knight took off his helmet, scratched his head, and hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Everyone, I have never been a smart person, but I have my principles and insistence, that is, I can only be loyal to one object at the same time, I don't understand the intention of that person, but I need to explain that if I join the Entagre Empire, then the object of my allegiance is the Entagre Empire, and it is no longer that person, if I want to continue to be loyal to that person, Then I won't be able to join the Ntagrean Empire, I can't be loyal to the Entagri Empire and serve that person at the same time, that's not my style, Alice, please convey my meaning to that person, if he still wants me to join the Entagri Empire after knowing what I mean, I think I will be very happy."

Then the dwarf looked at Meng Gila with a little guilt: "I'm sorry, Meng Gila, but that's how I decided"

"There's no need to apologize, stupid dwarf," Meng Gila smiled bitterly, "But this time you finally look like a man, although I don't like your decision, but I appreciate your principles, such a decision is indeed your style"

Cronis interjected at this time: "I mean the same as Eufritin, Alice, you can also help me convey it"

Beccaria snorted coldly and said, "I'm so lucky that I don't have to make decisions like you don No matter what you do, I will bring my people to join the Entagri Empire That Chen Jian is not liked, but what he is doing now is very good for my appetite Alice, tell me that your decision is correct Eufritin's words, and the object of allegiance can only be one as a friend, I don't want to see you make decisions that you shouldn't have."

Alice sighed, and there was a gloom in her eyes: "I won't join the Ntagri Empire, I'm going to go to Erie, I'm going to find that person, and then ask him to verify everything Genova in person, will you go with me?" ”

"Of course I will go, I will not join the Entagri Empire" Hearing Alice's words, Jenova's eyes began to light up, "I'll go with you"
