"Let me introduce you, this is the mid-level mage' Henry. Your Excellency Todd. Seeing White's implicit wary gaze, Clausewitz immediately explained: "For some special reason, from now on Monsieur Henry has 'volunteered' to join Olympus, and will eventually return north with us." ”

"Goblin mid-level mage? Join us? White looked at Henry, who was still quite sluggish, and was surprised.

"Mr. Henry, this is the deputy squadron leader of the Olympus squadron, and at the same time a follower of His Excellency Moriarty, the mid-rank warrior His Excellency 'White'." Ignoring White's doubts, the old werewolf then introduced himself to the goblin mage.

"Hats off, Lord White." Unlike White's "fuss", Henry has entered his role, saluting the other party with a natural expression, and there is no longer such reluctance in his expression.

Seeing the goblin mage's "acquaintance" demeanor, Clausewitz also smiled with satisfaction.

"Hats off, Lord Henry." Although he was still full of doubts, White did not want to be rude to a magic professional of the same rank, and immediately stroked his chest and returned the salute.

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back. White, is the workshop 'clean'? And just then, Moriarty's voice came from one side.

"Yes, Your Excellency, they are all ready, just waiting for your orders."

White immediately turned his head to look at the cabin, only to see Moriarty slowly walking out of it. However, behind him, there was also a bearded uncle with a "rough" appearance, and when he saw the eyes of others, the uncle also took the initiative to greet him kindly.

"What is that?!"

Different from White's hesitation. When the local spirit mage saw Gregory behind Moriarty, he jumped up in shock.

God knows, when he left the cabin just now, it was clear that Moriarty was the only one left in the dungeon. But now, two have come out!

Is this the rhythm of a great change?

Joke! Henry is also a fifth-level mage, so he can naturally tell what trick is and what magic is.

Well, there is only one answer left. Even if the goblin mage couldn't believe it anymore, reason still told him objectively: in just ten minutes, the human mage miraculously deciphered the magic lamp spell. And then the alchemy lifeform sealed in zài was successfully summoned.

Oh, my God! That's the legendary alchemy life!

According to a secret account. Some alchemy lifeforms were directly endowed by the Grand Arcanist with profound magical knowledge and strength that was not weaker than that of the top high-level mages. If the "bearded uncle" in front of him is also like this, then Moriarty, as its new owner, can be said to have reached the sky in one step.

And as soon as he thought of this, Henry, who was the "original owner" of the oil lamp, calmed down, and his tangled mood surged again.

"This Mr. Gregory will join Olympus as my personal 'special staff'." Come to the three of them. Moriarty declared straight to the point.

"You're welcome to join us. Mr. Gregory. "As a deputy squadron leader. White reacted immediately.

"Thank you very much." The alchemy lifeform smiled, and then said directly to the goblin mage next to him, "Your Excellency Henry, can I talk to you?" ”

"You know me!?" Gregory looked at him in amazement. After being stunned for a moment, the goblin mage couldn't help but look at Moriarty again.

"We are all 'old acquaintances', and Mr. Gregory must want to express his gratitude to Your Excellency Henry for your continued attention." Looking back at the goblin mage, Moriarty was serious.

It seems that not only Moriarty, but even the alchemical lifeforms themselves do not want Henry to divulge the secrets of the magic lamp. Otherwise, once known and snatched by other high-level mages or even Grand Arcanists, Gregory could not be sure that he would meet a new master who was as "enlightened" as Moriarty. That's why now he is in a hurry to communicate with Henry first.

As for how to completely put the goblin mage in order, Gregory certainly has his own way.

"So... Well..."

Under Gregory's "eagerly pull", Henry also had to be dragged to the side of the secluded place to communicate with the other party alone.

"White, gather everyone, light the fire. Five minutes later, we set off for Kentucky Bay. Seeing Gregory and the goblin mage walking away, Moriarty immediately ordered.

"Your Excellency, there is one more thing that needs to be informed to you."

However, before White could agree, Clausewitz suddenly interjected.

"Oh? What is it? ”

"It's a goblin fugitive." The old werewolf pointed to the "goblin prisoners" who were gathering in the distance, gobbling up dry food while looking at the "goblin prisoners" who were about to come here: "They have asked to follow us to evacuate Cloudy Town. It didn't matter if they fled to the north or somewhere else, they were all willing to follow and just want a chance to live. ”

"I see." Moriarty nodded.

As a fugitive, and was released by Moriarty and others, I am afraid that it is difficult to escape the label of "traitor". And once they are captured again by the officials and soldiers of the Yugoslav Alliance, the goblin prisoners will probably be executed immediately, and there will not even be a chance to defend themselves. Therefore, even if it is dangerous to escape with Moriarty and his party later, it is better than staying in Duoyun Town and waiting for death.

"Have you checked their details?" Moriati asked after a moment's thought.

"There are craftsmen and there are farmers. Most of them are young adults. Clausewitz seemed to understand what the other party meant, and explained.

"So, in terms of transportation?"

"Margaret has found a couple of large sleds and enough sled dogs in the storeroom of the workshop that shouldn't slow us down." The old werewolf said again.

"So it seems that your building yì is bringing a goblin with you?" Moriarty nodded, looking at the staff officer.

"Yes."

"Why? The inclusion of such a large number of civilians in the evacuation operation adds many unnecessary variables and potential dangers. Moriarty asked.

"Your Excellency, if you succeed in bringing these goblin fugitives back to the north, it will not only bring you a resounding name of mercy and considerable political capital, but also effectively expand the power of Olympus and EarthStudios." To Moriarty's question, the old werewolf replied unhurriedly.

"I'm not against rescuing goblin fugitives, but when it comes to expanding your strength, these goblins alone are—" White didn't seem to agree.

"We don't need these goblins to fight. However, more than 30 skilled goblin craftsmen are truly an asset to the alchemy studio. Clausewitz glanced at White, "As for the other goblins, they can also be reliable laborers or minions." Even, after we return to the north, we can use this group of goblins as a basis to recruit and guide similar 'dissidents' in the prisoner of war camp. ”

Obviously, the staff officer is looking at the question of the goblin fugitives from a higher perspective.

In this regard, White, who is only a field commander, does not have much to say.

"You should have other considerations besides that, right? Old Crow. After listening to the old werewolf's words, Moriarty nodded, but frowned again: "After all, the above reasons are still based on future strategic interests, and they are not directly related to the current reality of the battlefield. And this seems to be quite inconsistent with your usual staff style. ”

"Hehe, Your Excellency, it seems that you are really my 'bosom friend'." As if he didn't expect Moriarty to point out the incongruity in his statement so sharply, the old werewolf couldn't help but smile to himself: "There is indeed another reason. ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

"In the event of a discord during the retreat and being caught up by the reinforcements of the Yugoslav Alliance, then these goblins on the same road can become our zero-hour barrier and provide the necessary 'cover' for the rapid departure of our main force."

As he spoke, Clausewitz took off his little yarke hat and wiped it gently, his tone calm and soothing, as if he were just discussing what flavor of soup to cook tonight.

"You mean, at the expense of civilians!?"

For such a "cold" thought, White almost yelled, but finally held back.

"It's not about sacrifice." Looking at the red-faced White, the old werewolf said calmly: "If we are really pursued by the goblin army halfway, then no matter what, it will be impossible for these fugitives to escape." Isn't it? ”

"But they're being used by us after all!"

"No, they were saved by us. If you stay in town, these goblins will really be dead. And even if they scattered and fled to the wilderness, they would only be starving or being hunted and killed later. Speaking of this, Clausewitz shook his head slightly, "Or you can pray to any god that we won't be attacked by the enemy." That way, the goblins won't be killed. ”

"I will, pray!"

Unable to refute the old werewolf's "truth", White just clenched his fists and his face tightened.

"Alright, I agree to take all the goblin fugitives and return to the north with me." As if he didn't want the tension between White and Clausewitz to freeze for too long, Moriarty immediately ordered: "White, start the fire immediately." Old Crow, the task of organizing and governing the goblins is in your hands, and all the preparations for departure must be made in five minutes. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

Soon, the elaborate fires were lit one by one.

Except for the prisoners of the workshop and a reserved passage out of the town, the entire town of Cloudy was soon surrounded by raging flames.

"Morty, let me take care of those 'greens'. What do you think? When he had had enough of the "fire addiction" and rushed to the entrance of the town to meet Moriarty, and suddenly found that a large number of "newcomers" had joined the house, Guderian immediately said with great interest.

"Bastard, shut up!"

Unfortunately, Moriarty ignored the small movements of the silverbearded dwarf, and White on the side had already scolded the general.

At the moment, Guderian did not dare to say anything more. (To be continued......)
