Chapter 107 Behind the transaction

Howard lay in the bath, and the victory a few days ago still excited him: this action not only greatly increased his prestige in the army, but also sent a special envoy to congratulate him, all of which made him temporarily surpass the eldest prince Cassis and become the first person of the royal son.

"For the time being?" He gritted his teeth and said, "I want to surpass him forever - the throne must be mine!" He said to himself, "Maybe just a few more..."

"It's okay to come a few more times," suddenly a dull voice came from the bathroom window: "As long as you can find something!"

"Come in!" He suddenly sat up from the bathroom and reached out to take down a bath towel: "Don't be seen!"

The curtain moved slightly, as if the wind had blown, and there was one more person in the room.

"It seems that His Royal Highness enjoys it very much!" The dark elf smiled, but it did not ease Howard's anger at all. "You shouldn't have come," he roared, "It's dangerous if someone finds out!"

"I don't want to come," the dark elf was not scared: "I'm just here to get the reward I deserve!"

"I will find it for you!" He was unmoved: "I will give it to you then!" He stared into the eyes of the dark elf: "Don't take the initiative to come to me. Naturally, I will contact you with information - don't make trouble for me!" He said with a threatening meaning.

"Your Highness is so majestic!" The cold star flashed in the dark elf's eyes, but the tone, attitude, and even facial muscles did not change at all. Just listening, I thought you wanted to tear down the bridge and kill me!"

Kill him? This sentence reminded Howard that he involuntarily began to figure out how to get himself out of the transaction. Just a knife! He couldn't help touching the hilt of the sword next to the bath.

"Sum"

Just as he touched the hilt of the sword, a small sword as exquisite as a toy had resisted his chest. "Do you want to try it?" The dark elf exerted a little force, and blood stains began to appear under the tip of the sword.

"No," he felt fear: not only did he not see clearly how the dark elf stabbed his sword at him, but he couldn't even see it when he rushed over - this was a terrible enemy!

"I just want to call a servant in!" His hand continued forward, holding a ringing bell, and then slowly raised it to show the dark elf. I'm writing to urge them to deal with this now!" He asked attentively, "I think you can have a look!"

"No need!" The dark elf slowly withdrew his sword. "Whether I see it or not, things are there, not much, not much," he glanced at Howard and said in a sarcastic tone, "You'd better start this thing and take some results!"

"Definite! Definitely!" He promised repeatedly and saw the dark elf fly out of the window again.

At this time, he found that his forehead was full of cold sweat, but the water in the bath was still hot.

Five towering stone pillars from the top of the cave to the ground have been hollowed out into many rooms, which are connected by low walls and bridges of metal or rock. The red shield pattern shows that this is the defense command center of the Archangel Fortress. All the senior officers live here, and each stone pillar has a chain bridge leading directly to The city wall allows officers and senior warriors to rush there as soon as possible without obstacles to defend against the attack.

Tar mushroom surrounds the whole area, and one in five is a screaming mushroom. They are a kind of intelligent mushroom - as its name suggests, they will make a harsh scream when any creature approaches. But now there is a figure leaning on one of the screams.

The dark elf flew down from the window, like a ghost at the tip of several stalagmites, and disappeared into a pile of stone houses. The shadow stared at the departure of the dark elf, but there was no movement. After the other party disappeared, he also gently stood up straight. He stretched out his hand and touched the mushroom behind him, "Thank you, friends!" He said softly.

Turn around and look at the place where the dark elf disappeared, "So that's it!" The dark shadow muttered to himself, and his eyes lit up in the dark.

The shadow dodged through the forest until behind the stone pillar on the right, he coughed gently.

With the coughing sound, a window above made a soft click. Black Shadow's feet rose gently, and then with a few ups and downs, he quickly got into the window.

"Duke!" The shadow knelt in front of the desk.

The chair behind the desk turned around, and the Duke looked grim: "Have you found it out?"

"It's found out," the shadow replied, "A dark elf came out of the second Highness's room. I suspect they have collusion - but in order to avoid frightening snakes, I didn't follow!"

"You did the right thing!" The Duke slowly stood up, "As long as he knows who he colludes with," he said word by word, "The dark elves and the elf kingdom are a world feud, just inform them - Aslan, you can send someone to do this matter!"

"Yes," Shadow Aslan answered, "Do you need to continue to check next?"

"Continue to check," the Duke said, "You continue to observe the dynamics of the second prince, and I will send others to investigate the dark elves."

"Yes!" Aslan stood up, but quickly said, "Duke, but I think it's strange that the dark elf has anything to do with this second prince's victory?"

"This is also what I doubt," the Duke said, "Now the biggest possibility is that the second prince traded privately with the dark elves to help him win this victory - there are a group of such powerful assassins and assassins to help him, and victory is also possible!"

"Is there any other possibility?" Aslan continued to ask, but the old Duke did not answer.

Half a sound, the Duke took a long breath, "I hope it won't be the second possibility!" He walked over and patted Aslan on the shoulder: "Aslan, how long have you led the 'dark part'?"

"It's been ten years, my lord!" Aslan replied.

Duke Miweig nodded, "Ten years, it's really not short!" He said, "Ten years ago, you were very successful, and I believe you are also very confident in yourself - but this time the task is extraordinary, and you have to be very careful!"

Yes! I know!" Aslan said, "I must tell them to be more careful!"

"And!" He urged, "As for your side, you must find out how to contact the Dark Elf and His Royal Highness and ask the prince to do something for him, or what to do!" He expressed his meaning clearly: "This is very important!"

"Yes!" Aslan quickly replied, "I will do my best!"

"Father, do you mean the dark elf?" Lairis was shocked: "Your Highness the second prince colluded with them, and I'm afraid there will be a big problem!"

"But," Enrique continued, "even if there is a little trouble, it will be a future - at least the dark elves are now on our side to deal with the ghost emperor!" He said to Leiris, "Although I don't know how it will develop in the future, at least it will help us now!" He glanced at the Duke: "Teacher, I think the whole situation is like this now - we need to get through the current situation first, as long as it is not the enemy, we can take advantage of it!"

The old Duke nodded slowly and motioned him to continue.

Enrique continued: "As long as we can control them, there will be no chaos - now we must use all possible forces!"

"But I always feel that the dark elves are unreliable!" Lerris roared, "They are despicable, cunning and treacherous - the second prince will definitely cause us to lose the victory of this war in the future!"

"That's not the point," Enrique retorted, "If we lose this victory, then all friends or enemies, alliances and even human beings will not exist, and everything will be meaningless!" He raised his voice: "Our first priority is to win, no matter what we do!"

"Is it okay to unite one evil to defeat another evil?" Riley said angrily.

"That's what we need to care about in the future - if we fail and we all die at the hands of the dead, it doesn't matter who unites!" Enrique sticks to his own point of view.

"We don't need to use this evil power!" He opened his eyes and clenched his fist to approach Enrique. The undead are not so powerful, and we can defeat our opponents ourselves!"

"That's terrible that you didn't see the enemy!" He sneered, "You will know when the enemy's main force arrives!"

"That's an excuse!"

"That's the truth! You can't..."

"Enough!" The old prince roared. " shut up!"

Both of them closed their mouths, but glared at each other like angry cockfights without any concession.

"I know what you mean, but now--" The old Duke said, "The point is not whether Your Highness is allied with the dark elves, or whether you can be allied with them!" He slowly said, "What's important now, what's their deal?"

The two still didn't say anything.

The old Duke said word by word: "If the undead really destroys the whole continent, then the dark elves can't escape - so it's normal for them to choose to help us, not to say that it can't be used," he looked at Lerith, "but we can't believe that they are really here to help us! " He took another look at Enrique: "This time, there have been a lot of monsters or aliens in the army of the ghost emperor, and even the gray dwarfs are on that side - what else can we believe?"

He looked out of the window and listened to the sporadic shouts, "This matter still needs to be investigated in detail!"

"Yes!" The two replied. They were not stupid. They quickly guessed what the old Duke meant and began to think about it. Is there any news from the blue mermaid? The old duke continued to ask questions.

"dongdong!" Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"What's the matter?" Riley asked.

"Report Lord, the Zac Swordsman of the Blue Mermaid Mercenary Regiment has arrived and asks to see the Duke!"

Leris glanced at her father and smiled: "They're coming!" He replied:

"Please come in!"
