"Orcs are a contradictory race, on the one hand, they hate fire as much as humans hate them, and on the other hand, they worship fire, believing that flame can bring them new sublimation, and in orc society, cremation is a very high-end burial method. It's really incomprehensible, just like humans usually hate their excrement, but before they die, they really want to die in a dung pit, I don't know what they think. ”

The class housekeeper once said the above sentence to Allen, and Allen's concept of this was a little vague at the time, but now, it is very clear and impressive, and it is estimated that he will never forget it for the rest of his life.

Molotov cocktails loaded with black liquid were ignited by Andrew and then ejected, and a sea of fire descended, causing a huge momentum.

The orcs were very hesitant to face the block of the Molotov cocktail, as if they were facing something difficult, and they were very hesitant after being cut off by the sea of fire, and they generally chose to take a detour, and few orcs chose to go straight through.

As for the detour, it was more delayed, and after coming and going, Alan and the others gradually broke away from the pursuit of the orcs

"That's going to get rid of them?"

Arriving at a glade, looking at the flickering fires in the woods behind him, Hanaris was a little incredulous.

"So that's the benefit of going into the woods. ”

The mercenary, Dario, the merchant, calmly analyzed.

"The road is narrow, and there are many obstacles, and a little fire can cause many obstacles, and behold, the woods are now burning, and they will not be extinguished for a while, and Kleist must have been prepared for this. ”

The merchant shrugged his shoulders a little casually when he was mentioned by the mercenary: "No, in fact I didn't bring Molotov cocktails, this thing is very expensive, and a few bottles are enough for me to spend a month." ”

Hanaris looked at him in wonder and said, "Then why are you still running into the woods?"

The merchant Kleist opened his mouth and was about to answer, but Alan snorted coldly on the side, "Because he knows we have." ”

A little starlight emerges, but it's fleeting.

The long adaptation to the Tooth of the Stars has allowed Alan to consciously speed up his intonation when speaking at night, and usually short sentences do not cause much reaction at all.

However, perhaps because of the speed of his tone, his tone was very cold, and he did not have the politeness and politeness that he had faced the merchant before, which caught the others off guard, and they all looked at Alan blankly, and then found that he suddenly didn't know where to take out a long sword emitting blue smoke, and his wrist was fast, and it was across the merchant's neck in the blink of an eye!

"What are you doing?"

On the side, Dario suddenly found that his employer was in danger of his life, and he didn't care about the strangeness, and immediately pulled out his long sword at his waist and walked towards the two, but he was stopped by Hanaris before he took two steps.

"Man, stay here, man. ”

An unruly husky stopped him.

Hanaris drew his weapon at this point, but with his shoulders folded, his figure-eight steps, and a stick of grass in his mouth, his posture looked unintimidating.

However, although he is very inexplicable about the current situation, this does not affect his ability to protect the interests of his employer.

The fighting posture is like this, not because he is perfunctory, but because he is like this.

In this regard,

Dario didn't take it seriously, and he didn't hesitate to rush at Hanaris with his sword, but was forced back by Hanaris with a few stabs.

Hanaris's weapon is a bit like a needle, and a bit like the Western fencing in Allen's memory in his previous life, back and forth only stabbing this kind of attack, which seems a bit monotonous, but now that he is using it, he has a feeling of seeing a needle in a trance, and he can always rely on his flexible steps to dodge the enemy's attack, and then use the weapon in his hand to stab straight out of the enemy's defensive gap!

Dario is a mercenary with a good character, so he is a little anxious about the safety of his employer at this time, but at the moment, he can't break through Hanaris's block, and he can't help but be helpless.

"It's not like your style at all. ”

"No, that's my style. ”

The two hired mercenaries seemed to be in a similar state at this time, running out of men, following their employers alone, and then blocking each other at this time, but not attracting the attention of the others at all.

The Andrew brothers had already come to Allen at this time, and although they were puzzled by Allen's behavior at this time, they also did not hesitate and faced the businessman in a closed posture.

But it didn't seem that they needed to do anything more, and the merchant did not dare to move anything at this time, and his neck was horizontally placed by the strange long sword in Alan's hand, and the cold mist swirled around his chin, causing goosebumps.

He spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"Don't get excited, I don't know why you're doing this, but I think there must be some misunderstanding. ”

"Definitely. ”

The coldness on Allen's face subsided.

"The biggest misunderstanding is that the orcs can't be so aggressive to encircle and suppress a few of us!"

Facing the merchant, the young nobleman's tone and demeanor were clearly visible at this time, and the light spots around his face also made him look mysterious and abnormal at this time.

Scanning the merchant's body, Alan seemed to be looking for something, so although he heard the movements of his subordinates around him, he didn't look at it more, and only listened to him: "We just killed an insignificant orc, it is impossible to attract such a risky attack from them, you know, it is not far outside Samuel City!"

The merchant was amazed by Allen's appearance at this time, but he cared more about what Allen said, and retorted: "Is it possible that they are still for me? This is a bit unreasonable, I am just an ordinary human merchant, what is there to make the orcs care." ”

He looked very innocent at this moment, with a bitter look mixed with indignation, as if he was angry at Allen's rudeness.

"Listen, I think you're a bit of a river crossing and tearing down bridges now, I remember I waited for you for a while when I first entered this forest, although this doesn't mean anything, but I don't have any ill will towards you, why did you treat you like this? Or are you a little depressed by the orcs, so you want to hurt the innocent and vent?"

The merchant's soft and hard words seemed to have a little truth, but Alan didn't eat him at all, the long sword in his hand was still motionless across his neck, and his mouth motioned for Andrew to search the merchant's body.

Then in the face of the businessman's increasingly indignant look, he chuckled: "I almost forgot about it if you didn't mention it, I think you have done a lot of homework after discovering my identity, and you can even grasp some of my personality traits, so do you think you would face this situation?"

"Are you crazy? What are you talking about?" the merchant wondered at what Eren was looking like at this point.

Not only him, but everyone else around was very puzzled and inexplicable about Allen's appearance at this time, he was originally a difficult brother who was in sympathy with the same disease, but in the blink of an eye, such a turn against each other came, what was the young man in front of him thinking?

Is it really what the merchant said, being chased by the orcs is too aggrieved, and then involving the innocent to vent?

This doesn't seem to make sense, the previous contact proves that Eren is not like this kind of person, and the current occasion is not right, although the fire spreads through the woods and hinders the orcs from hunting, but it does not mean that they are safe!

The orcs were only temporarily blocked, and if they continued to delay like this, they would be caught up by the orcs again sooner or later.

In this regard, Alan did not mean to explain, he just signaled Andrew to search the things on the merchant's body, but Andrew did not even let go of the merchant's next three ways, but still found nothing.

"You're enough, kill if you want to, what kind of ability is it to insult me, a businessman who has no ability to fight back?"

The merchant glared at the group angrily, and the words in his mouth made Brother Andrew a little ashamed, and Alan was also a little puzzled about his judgment, but in the blink of an eye, he was firm again.

"Since you're still stubborn, I'm going to tie you up and stay here, I think you should know if those orcs are targeting us or you. ”

He said so, and was about to signal Andrew to find the rope, but the businessman, who had been sad and angry before, suddenly changed his face, and his anger disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving a wry smile.

"Okay, I say, but can we say on the way, the orcs won't be held back for long, and we can't delay any longer!"

Alan smiled noncommittally, then lowered the long sword around his neck with the merchant breathing a sigh of relief.

"It would have been nice to say no earlier. ”
