"Listen to you, you want to investigate that mysterious man too?" Rogge immediately realized the meaning of Larkin's words, and asked with an inquiring gaze as he gazed inquiringly at the flat face on the round head of the lizard-man matriarch.

"That's right," said Larkin with a "please" gesture, sat down with the four of them, and his gaze swept over the three adults in the tent, "as a father, I need to know who is secretly in contact with my daughter, and as a patriarch, I need to know who is mobilizing my people to fight in the bloody field." ”

"Is there anything you can tell us about Sasha and the man behind her?" Rog picked up the wooden wine glass in front of him and saluted the patriarch, and after Larkin clinked glasses with the three of them, he said, "All I know is that since Sasha brought his news back, her temperament has become completely different from before. ”

Larkin sighed, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said, "Before that, Sasha was strong and strong, but she was friendly to her relatives and friends, and although she was brave but not belligerent, she did not have a deep hatred for the crocodile, in fact, we lizardmen and crocodile people are not feuding. ”

"Do you suspect that the mysterious man deceived Sasha into turning her into his pawn?" Rogge reached out and picked up a quail egg from the plate containing the quail egg in front of him, and suddenly flicked it towards Lilith on the other side.

"Why is the bad wolf beating me!" Little Lori was startled by the quail eggs, and while reaching out to grab the quail eggs that had been peeled and sending them to her mouth, she shouted, "Believe it or not, I threw you with ribs!"

"I'm just giving you a quail egg to eat!" Rogge said with an innocent shrug.

"I don't believe you, bad wolf!" Lori pouted and shoved the round quail egg into her mouth.

Rogge smiled, looked back at the frowning patriarch Larkin and said, "Patriarch, please don't get me wrong, this is not child's play, I just want you to understand that even a child like Lilith will not be easily deceived, Sasha, as a mature and brave female warrior, she will not be easily deceived and deceived by a stranger." ”

"Don't compare me, I'm the smartest bird in the world!" Lilith shouted to Rog with her little head raised.

"I agree, but little fool, you forgot you're not a bird now!" Rogge turned around and picked up a quail egg and threw it to her, telling her to gagged her little mouth, then turned back to Larkin and said, "I guess it's not that simple, I think I'd better meet Sasha." ”

"No problem, you can stay here tonight, and have Miss Tully accompany you to Sasha tomorrow. Larkin nodded approvingly, looked back at Antonio, and said with a little mutter: "About your competition today, it really opened my eyes and gave me an idea. ”

He pressed his thick claws on Rogge's shoulder, looked down at him and said, "I want you to help me bring a letter to Gustav, and if he has the guts, fight me personally, and if he can win me, I will end the war and withdraw from this place, and vice versa." ”

"That's a good idea. Rogge and Antonio exchanged glances and nodded approvingly, and Rogge got up and said, "In that case, Lilith and I will return to Gustav tonight first, give him your challenge book, and tomorrow we will come to you with his reply, and by the way, investigate the matter of the mysterious man." ”

Larkin agrees to Rogge's suggestion and gets up with Antonio and Tali to see them off.

Roguela walked out of the tent with Lilith, who was reluctant to leave, squatted down in front of her, wiped her greasy little face clean, conjured a quail egg from her hand and stuffed it into her mouth, and then made her turn into a little owl and fly away from the place.

When Rogge and Lilith flew back to the crocodile front camp, Gustav had not yet slept, and when he heard that they were back, he immediately summoned them to his tent, and as soon as he saw Gustav, he exclaimed, "There is good news, I have found the two people you are looking for!"

"Really, where?" Rogge asked with concern as he approached Gustav in surprise.

"My soldiers found them on the east side of the territory, a man in a shabby silver robe, a man in a white cloak with a red pattern, they have been taken to our border villages, and my soldiers will escort them to the base camp to meet us. Gustav said gleefully.

"Great, so I'm relieved. Rogge breathed a sigh of relief and handed Larkin the challenge to Gustav.

"Ha, Larkin this old fellow!" After reading Larkin's challenge, Gustav laughed, turned back and said to Rogge with high spirits: "To tell you the truth, I have long wanted to compete with him myself!"

"In that case, it's best that the Great Patriarch can write me a reply, and I'll bring it back to Larkin tomorrow, and by the way I have some things to do over there. Rogge smiled at Gustav with relief.

Gustav immediately wrote a reply letter to Rogge, and asked him about the things he had just mentioned, and Rogge told Gustav about Sasha.

"I see, speaking of which, I also seem to remember that a mysterious man came to my camp and offered to help me train soldiers to attack the lizardmen, and at that time we were not at war with the lizardmen, and my sons thought that his origin was unknown and his purpose was impure, so I finally drove him away. ”

Hearing Gustav's words, Rogge nodded meaningfully and said: "Sure enough, it is similar to what I thought, this person must have some kind of ulterior purpose, he wants to provoke turmoil in the swamp, I think his purpose is not as simple as defeating one of the crocodile tribes and the lizardmen." ”

"Find him and see what he wants, my sons have died in this war, and I will never allow him to leave the swamp alive!" said Gustav, gritting his teeth and clenching his huge claws.

Rogge nodded silently, he already had a doubt in his heart about this matter, he felt that he should not guess the identity of the mysterious person, but if things really went as he thought, then the current situation in the swamp was likely to have exceeded his expectations.

At dawn the next day, Rogge got up early and traveled through yesterday's battlefield with Gustav's reply to the gate of the Lizardmen's forward base, where he revealed his identity to the garrison and entered the camp with the permission of the Grand Patriarch.

When he followed the soldiers to Larkin's tent, he found Larkin having breakfast, accompanied by Antonio and Tali, along with a lizardman in leather armor sitting to Larkin's left, looking at Rog with a hostile gaze.

Rogge stepped forward and handed Gustav's reply to Larkin, who agreed to Gustav's suggestion to fight in three days, and then asked Rogge to sit down next to Tali and introduce him to his daughter, Sasha.

"Hello, Miss Sasha, my name is Rogge, and it's a pleasure to meet you. Rogge said to Sasha with a polite smile.

The lizardman woman glanced at him coldly, sneered and said, "I don't know how you persuaded my father, but as Gustav's lobbyist, you better understand one thing, my father's fight with Gustav will only be the death of that stupid crocodile!"

"I don't doubt Patriarch Larkin's ability," Rogge replied with an unhurried smile, "but if you can win the final victory without killing the killer, it should be the best outcome." ”

"Hmph, even if my father could not kill Gustav, I would kill him with my own hands, and I would never allow him to return alive!" Sasha sneered grimly.

"Shut up, Sasha, don't talk nonsense, this is a fair and fair contest, we lizardfolk value the reputation of warriors, I won't let you mess around!" Larkin reprimanded in a deep voice.

"To the enemy, why talk about what is upright, the winner is the king!" Sasha gave her father a look in return without timidity, and Huo Ran got up and walked out of the tent.

Rog glanced at the sad Lakin, motioned for the three of them to sit down, got up and followed out of the tent, and saw Sasha walking in front with several majestic lizardmen assault soldiers from a distance, and Rog quietly followed behind to an open field surrounded by military camps.

He hid behind a tent and looked into the grounds, where he saw a large number of tall and sturdy lizardman soldiers training, different from the ordinary lizardmen soldiers Roger had seen before, they were wearing light leather armor, carrying a variety of weapons, and their training subjects were quite varied.

Rogge crouched down by the tent and saw that on the high platform on the side of the field, Sasha was standing with her head held high and scanning the lizardman soldiers in training below, Rogge stared at her for a moment, then turned his gaze to the other lizardman soldiers, and after observing for a while, he couldn't help but frown.

"Why does every soldier carry a voodoo doll?" Rogge looked at the soldiers in the arena in confusion, each of them had a voodoo doll hanging from their waists, and they were all upright lizards like themselves, including Sasha's waist.

"I don't remember that the lizardmen had a tradition of carrying voodoo dolls with them, and when they entered the camp before, the guards didn't carry them, so there must be something strange about it. Rogge said to himself secretly in his heart.

Just then, he suddenly heard faint footsteps behind him, and Rog looked back sharply to see a lizardman assault soldier slowly approaching him with a javelin.

Seeing that he had spotted himself, the lizardman waved his javelin and threw it, and Rog dodged back, the javelin stabbing into the ground beneath his feet with a "whoosh".

Without waiting for Rogge to explain, the lizardman took out a handaxe from the leather armor on his body, approached Rogge with unexpected speed, and slashed at Rogge's head with an axe.

"This guy is so agile!" Rogge swung the oncoming axe with the gauntlet of the fallen angel, but the lizardman had already pounced on him, claws clawing straight at Rog's throat.

With a "bang", the fallen angel's gauntlet punched the lizardman's palm, Rogge's eyes flashed, and a force of fear was injected into the lizardman's body, the lizardman's eyes were stunned for a moment, and before he could come to his senses, Rogge had already knocked him to the ground with a punch.

He stepped forward and ripped off the voodoo doll on the lizardman's waist, and found some kind of spell written on it in dark red handwriting, and before Rog could understand the meaning of the spell, he suddenly found himself surrounded by a large number of lizardman assault regiments.
