Chapter 217 The so-called trust

"The Winter Soldier! You see, our direction, is it south! ”

Arthur suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and immediately called the Winter Soldier back and asked quietly.

Although the Winter Soldier is a complete stranger to the continent, it seems to be his instinct to use things like sunlight, plants, and trees in the woods to determine his direction.

The Winter Soldier listened to Arthur's words, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he carefully observed the surroundings, and after a moment,

"Master, you're right!"

"It's true that we're not going south."

"To be exact, we should be heading west."

Arthur's face immediately sank.

This is different from what was agreed last night, when everyone agreed to retreat south.

"To the west, aren't we going back to Demacia?"

What was Galen thinking, and did he want to regret it? Where is he going to lead this team?

"No!"

After Arthur thought about it,

"It seems that overnight, our allies have changed again."

He remembered the fluctuation he had felt in the basement of the bunker last night.

He had to go to Galen for an explanation, and he rode along the marching line to find Galen, and the warriors he met along the way seemed to be in a stable mood and did not suffer too much morale from the retreat of the army.

It seems that the legend that the soldiers of the Kingdom of Demacia are the best soldiers on the continent is indeed true.

Each of these soldiers carried hundreds of kilograms of armor on their backs, held dozens of kilograms of weapons, led their horses, walked on the plains, and occasionally the soldiers who loved to show themselves sang songs, which immediately turned back to attract the laughter and scolding of the other soldiers, if it were not for the anxiety between the eyebrows, you would think that they were going on an outing.

Arthur looked straight and nodded, it is with such a terrible warrior that the kingdom of Demacia can always stand among the great powers of the continent.

Eventually, Arthur found Galen at the front third of the group, where Galen was trying to pull the cart pulled by a huge ironclad beast out of the mire on the side of the road, and he took off his exaggerated-looking armor that Arthur hadn't seen since he had met, revealing his exaggerated-looking pecs.

But such muscles are actually very common in the world of Loran, if possible, every warrior here can definitely easily crush those so-called strong men on the earth if they appear on the stage of any level of bodybuilding competition on the earth, and the thick muscles on their bodies look like a layer of armor, and it is absolutely no problem to impersonate the armor if they are painted with a layer of metallic color.

And when such guys fight, they have to put another layer of steel armor weighing more than 100 kilograms on average, as well as weapons weighing dozens of kilograms - you can imagine the terrifying impact of these guys when they charge up on the battlefield.

And their leader, Galen, is still so outstanding even in such a group of macho men, and in Arthur's opinion, this guy is more like the Hulk than human. He jumped out of the huge quagmire, and lifted up with all his might, and the poor beast, which looked like a rhinoceros with a large head, was now like a panicked she-beast, and Galen's great strength made it feel violated.

Galen finally used brute force to save the animal from the mire, and at that moment all the horsemen watched their leaders shout.

And Galen, who had done all this, stood on the side of the road as if he had done a trivial thing, and wiped the dirt off his body with snow water without care, and then put on his armor again to cover his beautiful muscles.

"I need an explanation."

Arthur stepped forward.

"Why change the retreat route without authorization, I think I should have the right to know."

Galen looked up at the marching group ahead.

"You've come just in time, Mr. Mage!"

"I was just about to look for you."

"I think we'll need your spells to provide a wider view at this point, and I'm afraid we'll be intercepted on the way back."

"Isn't that obvious?"

Arthur scoffed,

"Noxians aren't stupid, they'll let us go so easily. I'm sure they've gotten word as soon as we leave the castle, and now I can tell you with certainty that there are no less than three warbands behind us, stalking us, ready to attack us at any moment. ”

"So, voila! That's what I need you to do for us. ”

Galen said lightly.

"We know that the enemy will follow us, and they will try to delay our retreat until their army arrives and deal us a heavy blow."

"That's why I'm going to revise the route of retreat, the direction is to the west, not to the south, and the direction to the south is that all the way is plain, and it will be easy for the enemy's army to catch up with us."

"So, what about west?" Arthur didn't know what to say.

"To the west, with mountains on one side and plains on the other, we always walk at the foot of the mountains, so that at least it will be difficult for the enemy's army to catch up."

Galen explained.

"Huh?"

"Is that all?"

"For no other reason?"

Arthur looked at Galen hesitantly,

"No, of course not, how could you say that." Galen's eyes widened and he said, "You are our ally, how could I hide it from you?" We rely on you more than ever, Arthur! ”

"The vision created by your magical spell will be our greatest reliance on this march."

He said to the Infinite Eye in the sky, he already knew about the magical artifact that Arthur had.

No, he's lying, Arthur said in his heart.

There must have been another reason, and it must have something to do with the magic fluctuation last night, the frequency of which Arthur was familiar with, it was a communication device connected directly to the magic web, exactly the same one he had seen in Taythemere. That magical communication fluctuation last night seemed so strong to him that he could feel it from a great distance.

This is not something that ordinary people can have.

He didn't expect that there was also such a magical communication device hidden in the castle of Demacia, which was known as the forbidden magic, and with such a means, he was sure that that the communication device must be related to Galen's actions, and who did Galen connect with that device last night?

And what happened between them?

Arthur understood why Galen didn't want him to know, and he couldn't ask more. After all, he was not a Demacian, and their relationship was now limited to allies. Galen was under no obligation to tell him more.

However, after he had done so much for the Galen Legion, the two sides had reached an understanding that they would need to work together in the future. Galen is still doing this, which is a little annoying.

This is not what a qualified ally should do.

It seems that the so-called future cooperation between the two sides still has a long way to go.

They simply lack the most basic trust in each other.

What's the secret behind that? Arthur was even more curious.
