"My boots," she said to Robert with a smile.

Robert swallowed and gave her a weak smile, and Robert grabbed her feet.

It's a little game between them, and he'll take off his boots for her. In the end, it always will be - Robert tried not to think about it!

"Give us a bottle of your best wine," Ella told the innkeeper, "and two glasses." ”

She lifted her other foot and looked at Robert. "Don't disturb us after that. ”

"But, my lord—" said the innkeeper hesitantly, "the dragoon has a message for you......

"If you show up again after you bring the drink, I'll cut off your ear,"

Ella said with a smile. While pulling out a dagger from his waist.

The innkeeper's face changed dramatically, he nodded, and left quickly.

Ella laughed. "Look!" she wiggled, her toes under the silk stockings.

"Here, let me take off your boots!"

"I-I really have to go," Robert's body beneath his armor began to sweat desperately.

"My commander will worry about my ......"

"Your troop commander is me!" said Ella pleasantly. "Tomorrow you will be the commander of the troops.

As long as you like, higher ranks are fine. Now sit down. ”

Robert could do nothing but obey, and he knew that his heart only wanted to obey.

"It's so nice to see you," Ella knelt in front of him and began tugging at his boots.

"I'm sorry to miss Willow's reunion. Is everyone okay and how is Stone?

I guess maybe he's fighting alongside the knights. I'm not surprised that the two of you are separated. After all, I can't understand the friendship between the two of you—"

Ella continued, but Robert didn't listen. He could only look at her face.

He had long forgotten how lovely and coveted she was. He tried his best to focus his willpower on the danger in front of him, but all he could think of was the many romantic nights he had spent with Ella.

At that moment, Ella looked him straight in the eye.

Caught by the enthusiasm in his eyes, she let go of her hand and let her boots fall to the ground. Robert involuntarily reached out to pull her closer.

Ella reached out and hugged him tightly, her soft lips pressed against his......

At the touch of lightning, the nothingness that had tormented Robert for five years exploded.

Her aroma, warm and tender, mixed with notes of steel and leather. Her kiss was like a raging flame, and the pain was unbearable.

Robert knew – there was only one way to get out.

The innkeeper knocked on the door, but no one answered.

He shook his head in admiration, the third man in three days. He put the wine on the floor and quietly left.

"Now," Ella said, sleepily lying in Robert's arms. "Tell me, how are my brothers? Are they with you?

The last time I saw you, you were escaping from Tassis with the elven woman. ”

"That's you!" Robert remembered the blue dragons.

"Of course!" said Odds, leaning in.

"I like your beard," she stroked his cheek. "This hides those weak elven traits. How did you end up in the army?"

How did you get in?, Robert began to think desperately.

"We were captured in Sivanasti. An officer convinced me that it was unwise to go against the Dark Aftermath. ”

"What about my little brothers?"

"We—we're scattered," Robert said weakly.

"It's a shame," Ella sighed. "I'd love to see them again.

Calamon must have looked like a giant by now. And Rodrith - I've heard he's a pretty good mage. Is he still wearing a red robe?"

"I—I suppose," Robert muttered. "I haven't seen him in a long time. It won't be long before he wears the red robe," Ella said smugly. "He'......s just like me!"

"How are you?" said Robert, who quickly interrupted her. "Why are you here, so far from the battlefield?

"Well, I'm here for the same reason as you," Odd Band's eyes widened, "of course we're here to find the emerald man." ”

"No wonder I remember seeing him!" Robert's memory came back to mind. The man on the Pyri!

The man who ran away with poor Iban in New Grande! The man with an emerald in his body!

"You've found him!" said Ella, sitting up excitedly. "Where, Robert?

Where?" her brown eyes were shining.

"I'm not sure," Robert said. "I'm not sure if it's him. I- we only have a very simple description......"

"He looks like a human in his fifties," said Ella excitedly, "but his eyes are very strange, and he looks very young.

He has an emerald encrust on his body. We have clues that he was reported to have appeared in Flora.

That's why darkness sent me here. He's the key, Robert, find him - there's no power left on the Starfall Continent to stop us!"

"Why?" said Robert, forced to his composure. "Why is he so important that you—what—we win?"

"Who knows?" said Kira, shrugging his skinny shoulders and lying back into Robert's arms.

"You're shaking. Come on, this can warm you up a little. She kissed him on the neck and stroked him with both hands.

"All we know is that the only way to end this war cleanly is to find this man. ‘”

Robert swallowed, feeling himself warm all over her as she stroked it.

"Think about it," Ella said in his ear, her breath hot and warm, "if we find him, you and I can trample the whole Candela under our feet!"

The reward that comes after the darkness will be far greater than we can imagine. You and I, just like before, Robert. Let's go now!"

Her voice echoed in his head. Two people together, forever. End the war and rule Candela.

No, he thought, feeling a tightness in his throat. This is crazy!

My friends, my fellow citizens, have I not done enough? I owe them something, both human and elf!

They are the ones who hurt me, and they are the ones who spit on me! I have lived a life of exile all these years.

Why think about them? Who thinks for me! It's time for me to think about myself.

This is the woman I've been thinking about for so long. She'll be mine in no time, Ella...... Beautiful, seductive......

"No," Robert said hoarsely, "no," he said softly.

Reaching out, he pulled her back. "It's not too late tomorrow. If it was him, he wouldn't have run away. I know ......"

Ella smiled, sighed, and lay down. Robert bent down and kissed her passionately.

In the distance, he heard the waves of Ishtar's sea of blood crashing against the shore.

By morning, the dark clouds over Sorenia had cleared.

The sun rises, and it's just a golden disc that doesn't bring any warmth.

The knights who guarded the fortifications of the Tower of the King were finally able to lie back to bed with a sigh of relief and fall asleep with the wonders they had seen at night.

Because last night's blizzard was on a scale that Solania hadn't seen since the Cataclysm.

The knights who had taken over the sentry were equally tired, and no one could sleep at night.

The plain in front of you is now covered with snow and broken ice. Everywhere there were flickering flames, shining on the dead trees that had been split in half by the lightning of the night, and they continued to burn in a gloomy manner.

However, the knights did not pay attention to these flames, they paid attention to the flames of the horizon before leaving the fortifications;

Hundreds of flames, thick black smoke filled the entire clear sky.

This is a campfire where the army is stationed. The campfire of the Dragon Legion.

There is only one thing that stands in the way of the Dragoon's complete victory in Sorenia.

That 'thing' (the way dragoons are used to usage) is the Tower of the Holocalypse. The Tower of the King of France was created a long time ago by Venus.

Built by the creators of the Order, Soranas stands at the only exit from the mist-shrouded, snow-capped Minga Mountains.

It guarded the capital of Sorenia, Palanzas, and the port known as the Palatine Gate.

In the event of the fall of this tower, the fall of Paranthas is not far off.

It was a city of defense, a city full of beauty and wealth, so complacent with people's admiration that it forgot to see the real world.

With control of Paranthas and its harbors, the Dragoons could easily plunge all of Sorenia into a famine, and then dispose of the annoying knights.

The Dragoon, known to her subordinates as the Daughter of Darkness, is not in the camp today.

She travels to the East on a secret mission. But she left behind some capable, courageous commanders who were willing to take any risk to win her favor.

Of all the dragoons, the Dark Maiden is the most favored after the darkness.

As a result, her dragonmen, goblins, goblins, and human mercenaries all looked hungrily at the tower, hoping to win her admiration in battle.

The defenders of this tower are the Sorenian knights who had only arrived here from the city of Paranzas a few weeks ago.

Legend has it that as long as people of faith were stationed here, the tower never fell, hence the name "Tower of the Holiness".

This is a position second only to the Heavenly Knight in the Order, and is the most revered in the Order.

Little did they know, however, that this world-famous fortress would be hit hard tonight.

The secret to fighting the conceited is to thwart his arrogance. As long as you take advantage of the current situation that the enemy is taking lightly, there is a high chance that the Tower of the Dharma King will be captured in one fell swoop.

War was about to start, and the smell of gunpowder seemed to be beginning to fill the air.
