The forest of silence at night is mysterious, there are many unknown things hidden in the dark forest, wild beasts that have not yet rested wander in the woods, unknown flowers exude a faint fragrance, birdsong becomes clearer in the quiet shijie, and when the breeze slides through the leaves, there will be a sound of "whooshing~~", urging people to sleep.

The same is true of the barracks outside the Anda settlement, where the fires are extinguished early, with only a few tents and bonfires illuminating the place, and the clear moonlight in the sky spreads over the earth.

"Good evening, Adjutant Will. A soldier greeted the passing knight, "Are you on patrol?"

"Ah...... , just walk around. Will, dressed in a thick coat, strolled and said softly, "I don't feel comfortable with the environment here, and I can't sleep." ”

"These elves are funny...... I mean their house. The guard laughed and shook his head: "They actually live in the woods, like a group of wild men...... Of course, I'm just saying that they are really rich, and the fruit is good!"

"It's just that the customs are different, and it's better to say less about this kind of destruction of friendship. Will smiled and threw an apple over to the guard, causing the guard to catch it in a hurry: "Go back to sleep, there is still a long way to go tomorrow!"

"Lord Xiexie!" the guard nodded, then looked at him with a mysterious smile, "Are you going to have a wilderness love affair with some elven beauty?"

"Let me hear you again, and I'll go and tell your chief to keep you up for the rest of the night." Remember this sentence, little guard, silence is golden~. Will didn't look at the soldier again, but turned and walked to the tent in the distance.

Unfazed by the surrounding scenery, Will walked towards the central tent, the spacious tent was brightly lit, and it was clear that the people here were not going to enjoy a little sleep yet, they had more important things to do.

"Tell me who you are, sir!" shouted the knight of the guard at the tent gate, spotting the approacher.

"Member of the Knights of the Dawn, Deputy Flag Officer of the Knights of the Dawn, Will. With a hint of a smile, Will replied easily, "I'm sorry, but I don't have a title and I'm not a nobleman." ”

However, the two Imperial Guard knights didn't seem to intend to joke with him, and when they heard their identities, they took the initiative to get out of the way. This disappointed Will and casually said, "I wish you all a nice night~." So he walked into the tent.

Inside the tent was a room, a large map of the Forest of Silence hanging on the wall, and several thick tomes alongside it, and the three of Terenus, Lorenus, and Theodore were sitting in a circle around the map, scrutinizing anything that might happen on the map.

"The Noldor army in the south is fighting hard against the orc army, of course, they can't hold out for long, and the Iron Wall Legion of the New Gar Dwarves knows Noldor's tactics very well, which helps the orcs a lot. Lawrence looked at the three people sitting on the side and said: "The army in the north is gathering, but it can't wait, and now the only thing that can be mobilized is the army from the east that has been assembled." ”

"How many people can be scraped together?" asked Salald, "or how many can fight the orcs?"

"There are only eight thousand people, and it is unlikely that they will increase in a short time. Lawrence sighed lightly: "We don't have enough time to train the army, all the soldiers are the most seasoned hunters. ”

"In Anduria, there are still three thousand rangers, and two hundred sword masters who have gone south. ”

"How many enemies are there, counting the dwarves?"

"It's almost fifteen thousand orcs, and half of the Iron Wall Army, almost ten thousand. ”

"Can you find a way to rebel against the dwarven armies?" asked Theodore, "Let them join us and do it for us?"

"I'm afraid it's hard. Lawrence shook his head: "The orcs have a large number of hostages in their hands, and as long as those people are around, these dwarven soldiers must listen to them!"

"In that case, there is no good way. Theodore held his chin a little helplessly: "In short, we must rush to Anduria at once, and then join the Noldor army there." Only when the fist is clenched can there be liliang, and if you let go, it will only be broken one by one. ”

"If that's the case, then we'll need a commander-in-chief, even if it's in name. Aaron proposed, "Only then can the fist be clenched." ”

"............" Salad raised his head, looked directly at Aaron, and after seeing the other party's unflustered expression, he relaxed a little and nodded gently: "That's right, we need one." ”

"So, who has the qualifications? Who has the ability to rule all of us?"

"I propose that Lord Terenus assume this responsibility. Theodore glanced at the two of them, and then said loudly, "Lord Terenus, as the commander of the coalition forces!"

"I advise you to think a little before making your own decisions, young man. Terenus glanced at Theodore, and then said quietly, "This old man in front of you, since the day he became a soldier, has been constantly suffering defeats, one after another. Do you really think it's appropriate to have such an unlucky guy as your commander?"

"If it's Lord Terenus, then I agree. Salald nodded, smiled and said, "Of all the people present, I am afraid that there is no one more experienced than you, and you will be our most haode guide! ”

"We need you, Your Excellency. Theodore's sincere eyes looked at the old man's face: "You have been able to lead the Knights of the Dawn in Tulgar for such a long time, I am afraid that none of us can achieve such a level in such a situation." ”

"If it's just a matter of making suggestions, then I'm willing to accept the responsibility. Terenus nodded, his voice indifferent, "Of course, it's up to you how to fight—I don't think those lads would be willing to follow an old man's orders." ”

"If we command them, they will. Theodore chuckled, "If this bothers you, don't worry, they'll do your bidding." ”

"It's better to be cautious about such an important matter. The old man said, "I think Miss Helena ought to know about it." ”

Of course, she deserves to know. Salald nodded, "Do you want to tell her now?"

"Now. The old man turned around, and Will, who had been standing behind the chair very casually, quickly straightened up.

"Your lieutenant Will, be at your disposal for orders!

......................................................

"Weishenme, do you still want to tell that Miss Helena about this?" After seeing Will leave, Aaron looked at the three of them suspiciously, and couldn't wait to ask, "Since the time of Fort Kenne, I always feel that you two are hiding something from me. ”

"I'm telling you about it. Theodore waved his hand a little embarrassedly: "In short, now is not the time, it will not be effective until the time comes!"

"For now, let's think about how to meet the enemy. Theodore turned his gaze to the map and whispered, "It's not easy to defeat so many enemies!"

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Zhanzhu!" Will had barely reached Helena's tent when he was stopped by a clear voice.

"Who are you?" the young adjutant looked at the "knight" in front of him with extremely confused eyes, and the corners of his eyes twitched: "I think, the Knights of Dawn should not have such a ............ as you?"

"I'm Miss Helena's personal bodyguard, I'm a personal bodyguard!" the female knight tilted her head proudly, pointed her pointed chin at Will in front of her, and accentuated the word "close-knit": "Remember my name, my name is Al Ain Talboa, and I am a knight!"

"You say you're a knight?" Will's eyes were even more surprised: "My dear miss, doesn't it mean that a sword is considered a knight, do you know what a knight is?!"

"I'm going to see Miss Helena now, and I don't have time to discuss this with you. Will made a gesture of please: "Please get out of the way!"

"Miss Helena doesn't want to see anyone now!" Aine twisted his neck, "I won't let you go unless you defeat me!"

"Beat me?are you going to beat me with that embroidery needle of yours?!" Will asked with a smirk, "Tell me about that?!" he said, gesturing to Ain's chest.

Aine looked at Will with a flushed face, taking a deep breath, trembling uncontrollably, and grasping the hilt of the sword with his right hand, never letting go of it.

"You............ You...... You...... I'm going to duel you!" Before Will could react, Ain drew his sword first, shouting a slogan and waving it at Will's head as if he was going to split it in half.

"Oh my God, that's funny!" Will was careful to bend down, ready to sideways away with a reckless sword, though he muttered. But he didn't expect Ain to use too much force, and actually knocked on the ground, and then the whole person flew towards Will in horror!

"Poof!!!" a muffled sound.

"What's wrong—?!"

Helena, who rushed out of the tent with an exclamation, immediately froze in place before she could get out of the tent, looking at the scene in front of her with an embarrassed expression.

"Uh............" Will, who was also embarrassed, didn't have time to push away Ain, who had passed out on his body, and reluctantly struggled to sit up from the ground, looking at Helena with his head down: "Lord Terenus, please come over, Miss Helena!"
