Clarke's expression was a little gloomy as he rode on a war horse, following behind "Lao Shan", who was also riding on a war horse, and although he knew that "Lao Shan" might be keenly aware of his small movements, Clark couldn't help but look at him with resentful eyes, and "Lao Shan" insisted on taking himself to find the remains of the elves, which made Clark feel a trace of danger.

Clark turned his head from time to time and saw that the demon disguised as a human was whispering to the leader of the mercenaries in the team, knowing that the demon had other plans in his heart, but Clarke still had a trace of anger in his heart, and the demon handed Clark a reassuring look while **.

Clarke, who was a little depressed, turned his head and regretted cooperating with Lust for the first time, although he knew that he would be an indispensable existence for them to control the Edric family, but he would face a very dangerous situation, since Lust Demon was sure to besiege and kill a suspected legendary level spellcaster, then the next battle must be very fierce, he was just a mage apprentice who came into contact with the second layer of the magic net, and he could lose his life if he was not careful.

Looking at the thin back of "Lao Shan", Clarke's heart is very heavy, no matter what the result is, the Edric family will also be greatly damaged, he didn't think about recruiting "Lao Shan", but his relationship with his father is too weird, he doesn't understand what the bond between the two sides is, rash temptation will only alarm his father, so he can only risk trying to get rid of "Lao Shan", the biggest supporter of his father and brother.

After getting rid of the "Old Mountain", he will find a way to make his brother lose this war, and with the assistance of the Grazt Church, he will reorganize the Sambian army in Bow Valley, bring the army back safely, and then find a way to deal with his cousin after returning home, so that his father can see who is the real suitable heir of the Edric family!

Thinking of this, Clarke's heart was a little excited, and a trace of blush appeared on his face, at this time, Clark didn't want to kill his relatives, and he didn't want to weaken the Edric family too much to let other families take advantage of it was one thing, and the family affection that couldn't be parted with was another, but Clarke's heart was filled with a trace of worry in addition to excitement.

The realization of his plan is completely dependent on the Grazt Church and the Desire Demon, and after he succeeds in taking power, he is likely to become their puppet completely, which makes Clark a little unwilling, Clark began to seriously consider the possibility of subduing the "Old Mountain", but only gave up this plan after a little thought, the variables are too big, and the powerful "Old Mountain" is safer to die.

Thinking about the other forces in the family, the family's private soldiers, the guards of the Chamber of Commerce, the mages cultivated by the family, and the assassin organization and the thieves' guild that he secretly supported, Clarke's eyes flashed with ambition, and he planned to let the power of these families and the Grazt church contain each other, and obtain the greatest benefits behind the scenes.

The delusion in his heart was not over, "Lao Shan" dismounted under the support of his own guard, in front of him was a deep forest, even in the cold winter, the original dense green leaves have turned into dead leaves, this forest also covered the sky above the forest with lush branches, so that the not very strong sunlight can only be scattered through the gaps between the branches, forming mottled shadows.

Looking at the somewhat silent forest in front of him, thinking of those unknown killing moves, Clark secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and looked at the solemn expression "Old Mountain".

"Lao Shan" looked at a stream that flowed from the depths of the forest, nodded, obviously through the prophecy spell, combined with the flow of the river, judged the origin of the bracers that Clark picked up, and the solemn expression of "Lao Shan" commanded, and all the personnel began to dismount and prepare the materials they carried.

There are more than 30 Sambian mercenaries in this team who have been requisitioned by "Lao Shan", not the kind of rookie mercenary team composed of country boys and tenants of farms, but a team with some elite demeanor.

This mercenary team made Clark a little worried, but seeing that the Lust Demon was just busy with the mercenary captain**, and there was no worry at all, Clark was a little more annoyed while being relieved, and couldn't help but stare at the Desire Demon and the mercenary captain, his eyes were even more resentful, and he made up his mind to make the two of them look good after he became the commander.

The trees in the forest are very dense, and the feet are full of thick roots and humus full of fallen leaves, making it difficult to ride a horse, and the mercenaries brought the hastily prepared supplies with them under the order of "Lao Shan", and had the intention of forcibly recruiting a few bow valley people, but they really couldn't find a target, so they could only sigh secretly and carry the provisions on their backs.

"My lord, I'd better stay here and take care of the horses, I haven't been inside, and I can't help the adults, if there is any danger, you have to bother to protect me, don't let me miss the adult's affairs." Clark said a little scoundrelly, trying to remind "Old Mountain" of his identity and get him to agree to stay here.

After hearing this, "Lao Shan" just glanced at Clark with an expressionless face, did not answer, and lived by himself to prepare his own equipment, while the mercenaries and guards around him were preparing their own weapon supplies, while paying attention to the conversation here, seeing that "Lao Shan" did not care about Clark at all, they all laughed in a low voice.

Clark didn't expect the other party to even bother to talk to him, listening to the low laughter of the mercenaries around him, Clark blushed and felt a little dizzy, just when Clark planned to stay regardless of it, "Old Mountain" finally opened his mouth.

"Let's go. ”

Hearing the emotionless words of "Lao Shan", Clark had the heart to refute, but seeing the other party's lifeless and emotionless eyes, Clark felt a chill in his heart and reluctantly agreed.

The group struggled to follow the stream into the forest, the ground was full of thick humus, and they had to use a wooden stick to find out if there were any roots of trees below to travel, and in some places, there was even a swamp hidden under the thick fallen leaves, so that the mercenaries who explored the path were more cautious, "Old Mountain" and Clark were in the center of the team, but they didn't need to explore the way, but it was necessary to walk with their own feet deep and shallow, Clark had never suffered this kind of crime since he was a child, and he couldn't help but feel more resentful in his heart.

The group took a short break from time to time, took out water to replenish their strength, and after walking for most of the day, they finally followed the stream and came to an elven building hidden in the woodland.
