Everything around is in an endless haze, and the night is passing quietly.

The light of day pierced through the windows of the fortress's towers.

Wade rubbed his eyes and sat up, not knowing where he was for a while.

I was in a large room, he thought, with a tall ceiling above my head and holes in it for dragons to fly into the sky.

There are two other doors next to it, and I and Ewen came in from that side yesterday.

By the way, it's Aven! And the dragon!

Wade finally remembered. He had no intention of sleeping! The original plan was for him and Evan to wait for the dragon to fall asleep in order to rescue Seston.

But it was already dawn now, and it was already afternoon!, the Kander scrambled nervously, and peeked near the balcony.

He was relieved. The dragon fell asleep - and Sethon seemed to be crying tired and falling asleep too.

When the opportunity came, Telekov climbed to the mage's side.

"Old sir!" he whispered, "wake up!" and he kept shaking him.

"What, who? there's a fire?" the mage sat up, looking nervously around.

"Where, run to the exit!"

"No, no fire. Wade couldn't help but sigh. "It's already morning.

Your hat—" He handed his hat to the mage who was searching around. "What happened to last night's little ball of light?"

"Hmm!" Evan sniffed, "I'll send him back." I keep shining with light, and I can't sleep. ”

"We were going to hold on, remember?" Wade said anxiously.

"Can you save Sethon from the dragon?"

"How can I save it?" asked Aven expectantly.

"You're the one in charge of the plan!"

"Is it me?" said the old mage, blinking, "what do you think of that plan?"

"You haven't told me yet!" Wade almost roared, but he calmed down.

"You only said we were going to rescue Sethon before breakfast, because after twelve hours without eating, even the Dwarves of the Valley would look palatable to the dragons. ”

"Makes sense," Evan commented. "Are you sure I said that?"

"Listen!" Tysokov said patiently, "all we need is a long rope to pull him up."

Can't you conjure it up?"

"Rope?!" Evan glared at him. "Look at what you're saying like I can't even do this! It's an insult to me. Help me to my feet. ”

Wade helped the mage to his feet. "I didn't mean to insult you. The Kander said.

"I know it's nothing great, and you're pretty good...... Merely...... Oh, forget it!" Wade pointed to the balcony.

"Hurry up. I just hope we all survive. He said with bated breath.

"With that in mind, I'm not going to disappoint you or Seston. Evan earnestly agreed.

The two of them continued to spy on the balcony, and everything was the same as before, with Sethon lying in the corner and the dragon asleep.

Evan closed his eyes and concentrated on the strange incantation, and then, with his thin hand, he walked through the railing of the balcony and began to make an upward motion.

Wade glanced at it, almost frightened.

"Stop!" he reluctantly said, "You've got the wrong target!"

Evan opened his eyes, only to see that the Red Dragon Paith was slowly rising from the ground, his body still in a sleeping position.

"Oh my God!" the mage was taken aback, and quickly recited a reversal spell to put the red dragon back on the ground.

"Didn't aim. The mage said. "Now, I've corrected the error. Let's try again. ”

Wade heard the same spell again, this time as Seston slowly rose from the ground, slowly rising to the height of the balcony.

Evan's face flushed from overexertion.

"Come on, it's almost there!" Wade jumped up and down excitedly.

Evan gestured as Seston flew up to the balcony and stopped on the dusty ground, where Seiston was still asleep.

Seston Luved whispered, pressing his hand to the dwarf's mouth so that he wouldn't scream.

"It's me, Wade. Wake up!"

The dwarf of the valley opened his eyes, and the first thought that flashed through him when he woke up was that Fierce Minna had changed his mind and had instead fed him to a dragon, instead feeding him to a fierce Kander.

After a while, the dwarf of the valley recognized the man in front of him and froze with joy.

"You're safe, but don't speak," the Khandians warned, "and the dragons can hear us—"

His words were interrupted by a loud bang from below. The dwarf of the valley sat up alertly.

"Shhhh "Maybe it's just a door to the Dragon's Lair. ”

He walked briskly back to the balcony, where Evan was peeking curiously through the railing. "How?"

"Dragoon. Evan pointed to the fierce Minna, who was standing on the second floor looking at the dragon.

"Blaze, wake up!" Meng Mina shouted at the sleeping flower.

"I've been alerted about an intruder!

The priest is here, and he's about to stir up a revolt among the slaves!"

Paias rolled over, slowly opening his eyes, and woke up from an irritating dream filled with dwarves flying around the valley.

Shaking its head to try to sober itself, it heard Fierce Min complaining incessantly about the priest's affairs.

It yawned, and it seemed that the dragoon would find the priest in the fortress.

Patricks thought: In the end, it will have to solve this problem on its own.

"Don't worry too much, sir—" Paith had just spoken, but suddenly closed his mouth, looking at something very strange.

"I'm too worried!" said Fernana angrily. "Why am I—" He froze.

The two of them were staring at something that had floated down from mid-air, floating like feathers.

It turned out to be Aven's hat.

Robert wakes everyone up in the darkest hours before dawn.

"So," said Stone, "are we going to go as planned?"

"We don't have a choice. Robert looked at the group and said with a gloomy face.

"If one of you betrays you, he will live with the guilt of killing the innocent for the rest of his life.

Meng Min will not only kill us, but also the hostages. I prayed that there were no traitors, so everything went according to plan. ”

No one spoke, but they looked at each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere of suspicion grew stronger.

When the women woke up, Robert repeated the plan again.

"My friends and I dressed up as the women who usually deliver breakfast and went into the children's room with Militta. We'll take them to the square. Robert said quietly.

"You have to behave as normal as you normally would. When you're allowed to go out and get some air, pick up the baby and run to the mine.

Your men will dispose of the guards over there, and you can safely escape into the mountains of the south.

Got it?"

The women nodded silently as the footsteps of the guards began to approach.

"That's all. Robert said softly. "Go back to your post. ”

The women quickly dispersed.

Robert said to Lena and Lorana, "If anyone betrays us, you will both be in danger, because you have to watch these women—" he began.

"We're all going to be dangerous," Rolana repeated coldly.

She stayed up all night, knowing that if she let go of the tight rope on her soul, she would be in a panic.

Robert didn't notice her inner struggle, he only noticed that she looked particularly pale this morning, and that she was exceptionally beautiful.

Experienced in a hundred battles, he forgot the anxiety of the first battle.

He cleared his throat and said hoarsely, "Lena, listen to me, put the sword in the scabbard, you are safer in this way." Lena chuckled and nodded nervously.

"Go and say goodbye to Calamon," Robert told her.

Lena's face was as red as a ripe apple, and she glanced meaningfully at Robert and Lolana, and ran away quickly.

Robert stared at Lolana, and then, for the first time, he noticed that she was clenching her teeth, and even the green tendons on her neck were exposed.

He stepped forward to hug her, but her whole body was as stiff as a dragonman's corpse.

"You don't need to be like that. Robert let go of her and said. "This is not your war.

Let's go to the pit with the other women. Lorana shook her head, trying to control her voice before speaking.

"Lena is not trained in wrestling, I have. It doesn't matter if it's a 'fictional story'. She laughed self-deprecatingly, and Robert had an uneasy look on his face.

"I'll do my part, Robert. The human name was very awkward to her.

"Otherwise, you might think I'm a traitor. ”

"Lolana, please trust me!" Robert sighed. "Just as I defended Gilsenas, I would never believe that you would betray us!

If it weren't for the fact that we're holding so many lives, Lorana, don't you understand?"

Lolana looked up and felt his hand tremble slightly, and on his face she saw fear and struggle, just as she felt in her heart at the moment.

The difference is that she is afraid of herself, but he is worried about others.

She took a deep breath, "I'm sorry, Robert. She said. "You're right, look, the guards are coming, we have to go!"

She turned away without looking back. Then it occurred to me that maybe Robert was just looking for some comfort from her.

Militta and Scarlet Moon lead the group up a series of stairs to the first floor.

The Dragonman Guards did not follow them anymore, indicating that they had another 'special mission'.

Robert asks Maritta if this is normal, and Maritta shakes her head with a worried look on her face, but they can only move on.

Six valley dwarves followed them, carrying a pot that smelled like oatmeal.

They didn't pay attention to the aunts. It wasn't until Calamon stepped on his skirt, stumbled, and cursed rather unladylike words that the dwarves of the valley opened their eyes wide.

"Don't scream!" Hubble turned to them and pulled out his knife.

The dwarves of the valley weaved into the corner, shaking their heads incessantly, and the pot rattling.

The group walked to the end of the stairs and stopped.

"We walked through this hall to that door—" Militta said, gesturing.

"Oh, no!" she grabbed Robert's arm. "There are guards at the door. It's never been like this before!"

"Shhhhhh Robert comforted her, though he knew in his heart that it wasn't that simple.

"Just go as planned. Militta nodded fearfully and walked down the hall.

"Guard!" Robert said, turning to Stone. "Ready! Remember—get clean. Don't make a sound!"

According to the map of Girsenas, the children's playroom and bedroom are separated.

The former is a storage room with clothes and toys on shelves, and a walkway leads to the place where the dragon named Flame Strike lives.

"Poor fellow!" said Militta to Robert as the plan was discussed, "she is as much a prisoner as we are.

The dragoon will never let her out, and I guess they're afraid she'll get lost and won't be able to come back.

They built a tunnel to the storage room, and she couldn't get through such a small hole.

The reason why it was inconvenient for her was not because she wanted to go out, but because she occasionally wanted to see how these children frolicked. ”

Robert looked at Maritta suspiciously, wondering if the monster he would encounter would be very different from the dragon she described as 'weak and delirious'.

Behind the Dragon's Lair is a place for the children to rest. They must enter this room, wake the children up, and take them out.

The playroom leads directly to the plaza outside, separated only by an oak door.

"This is a security measure to prevent the dragon from running out. Militta said.

It must be almost dawn, Robert thought as they walked to the playroom. The torches cast their shadows forward.

The town of Park is so quiet, almost dead silent.

It's too quiet, especially for a fortress that's preparing for battle.

The four dragonman soldiers hid in a corner outside the game room and chatted, and when they saw the woman approaching, they all shut up.

Scarlet Moon and Militta walk in the front, Scarlet Moon taking off her hood and her hair glistening in the firelight.

Followed by the river breeze, with a cane, the tall plainman almost touched the ground with his knees in order to make his figure look reasonable.

Karamon and Rodrith followed, the mage close to his brother, followed by Iban and Girsenas.

Rodrith ironically discovers that every would-be traitor has arrived. Hubble walked in the last row, occasionally glaring back at the half-dead dwarves of the valley.

"You're here early today," said one of the dragon men.

The women crowded around the guards like frightened chickens, patiently waiting for them to let them go.

"It looks like a thunderstorm is coming," Militta said alertly. "I want the kids to be able to get out and have some activity before it rains. What are you doing here?

Isn't there never a guard here? You're going to freak out kids. ”

One of the dragonmen spoke in their rude language, and the other two smiled knowingly, revealing their neat fangs. The dragon man who spoke only frowned.

"This is the order of the great king of Mömminna. He and Blaze set out this morning to destroy the elves.

We have been commanded to search you. The dragonman's eyes stared hungrily at the scarlet moon.

"I'd love to do it. The dragonman licked his lips and said greedily.
