At the end of the meeting, only Ash Rufate was left sitting alone in the tent. He felt very uncomfortable. This was a very strong sense of frustration, just like losing in a single fight or losing in gambling. He knew that the enemy had a conspiracy, but he could not clarify his thoughts rationally and see through the enemy's actions. He could only decide on his actions based on intuition (whether human or elves' views, intuition is unreliable).

If Thomas knew, he would be disappointed.

"Carrie, show me the map." Ashu Rufate asked in his mind. Soon, the incredibly detailed map immediately appeared in front of his eyes. He was thinking about the map, but to be honest, he could not imagine how the Dark Elves would design him. The only possibility was the royal city itself - maybe they prepared an army that had an overwhelming advantage in terms of quantity in the city. But to be honest, if the Dark Elves really had two main legions, they would have already begun to try to surround the expeditionary army, and they did not need to play such unwise wrists at all.

In addition, the news that the royal city's garrison troops were transferred to the front line has been confirmed by the Phoenix King. At this time, both sides invested a lot of military forces on the front line, which was a tactless battle of strength and could not play any means.

No matter how I thought about it, I felt that only the main force of the dark elves (just set out from the mining area) could pose a fatal threat to the expeditionary force, but the problem was that due to the differences in the journey, they didn't have time to arrive at the battlefield.

Could it be that they have many dragons? He thought in his heart... Don't be stupid. If there are many dragons, they would have used the flying dragon to restrain harassment and even attack the expeditionary army. Give up such obvious and reliable advantages and design a stupid trap... The dark elves will not do such stupid things.

The sound of footsteps came from outside, awakening Ashrufate from his contemplation. He looked at the door of the tent and returned to Kay.

There were only two people in the tent. Kaiyi was not wearing armor or wearing a white lion leather cloak representing his identity. Looking at this picture, she probably didn't want people to see her coming here alone.

Ashu Rufate looked at her calmly, with an unspeakable depression in the air, neither of them spoke.

"Prince, are you serious?" After a long time, Kay finally spoke. "If you retreat without doing anything, it will cause a big blow to morale."

"Kay, have you ever participated in gambling?" Ashu Rufate asked suddenly.

"gamble?"

"In the human world, some people live by gambling, and they are so-called gamblers. These people do not regard gambling as a game or entertainment, but as a means of making a living. Among gamblers, there are some experience sayings. There is a saying that: If you can't see the other party's means of winning money, don't do it."

“…”

"This is the situation in front of us. In fact, we all admit that Truzi has a high possibility of setting a trap... The only problem is that we can't see clearly what methods they use. Since we can't see clearly, why force it? As long as we give up and as long as we don't participate, no matter what kind of trap they set, it's meaningless."

"What if this isn't a trap?"

"It may be greater if it is a trap than if it is not a trap... We should avoid this kind of risk. Kay," Ashu Rufate asked suddenly. "You are obviously not so confident, why did you support me just now?"

"Nothing, I just want to believe you," said Kay. "When we got on the boat, I never thought that there would be the current record... and it seems that the difference between you and the Emerald Queen is not that simple."

"Ah, why isn't it simple?"

"If it is still within the normal range to borrow soldiers from the Emerald King Court, then it is almost impossible to borrow all the Phoenix Guards who are responsible for defending the Queen as personal soldiers. That army cannot be borrowed from outside. This is already a miracle."

Ashu Rufate didn't say anything for a while. Kay shouldn't have seen anything, right?

"Don't worry, master, even if she sees anything, it's okay." Carrie said softly in her mind.

"If you talk about a miracle, you can also use 'accident' or 'lucky' to explain it, but Your Highness, you have created more than one miracle. I just knew who the assassin who failed to assassin you before. That was Garard, the strongest assassin among our evil cousins, also known as Shadow Blade. The Phoenix King hates this person to the core. As long as you obtain his head, this expedition will not be in vain. And you can kill Hurd, which is also a miracle. No, it should be said that there are too many miracles that are no longer surprising. Like defeating the great mentor in the Sword Saint in a one-on-one battle, it seems much weaker in the face of other even more incredible things."

"You are too exaggerating... these are not miracles. And, after all, we may have to withdraw." Ashu Rufate smiled. "Speaking of this, you can't see through the last plan of the Trujis... I'm not as powerful as you said."

"I will always follow you anyway..." Kay suddenly lowered his head and bowed deeply to him in the humblest posture. "Prince, can I make a final request."

“What are the requirements?”

"I want to leave..." Before Kaiyi finished speaking, a voice sounded outside. "Sure enough... I knew you two were together."

Kay was startled. Then, she saw Gales walking in from outside, following several phoenix guards. Outside the tent, the slight sound of metal could be clearly heard. It was the sound of walking wearing metal armor.

"Your two-faced swords did not surprise me, Kay!" Gars said. He then faced Ashu Rufate. This behavior made Kay feel deeply puzzled. What happened? Gars was surrounded by Phoenix Guards, and they were all the personal guards responsible for defending the prince... But...

Although the Phoenix Guards are all warriors serving God, they cannot speak under any circumstances. However, from the details of their eyes, movements, postures, expressions, etc., it can be seen that this time the Phoenix Guards are always standing on the side of Garce and clearly showing hostility towards the prince.

"What do you mean!" Kaiy asked loudly. What happened? Judging from the slight sound of metal collisions around him, the big tent was surrounded. All the phoenix guards?

A rebellion happened?!Kay subconsciously understood what happened. No, it was impossible. So it was a military remonstrance? But why was the Phoenix Guard? They dedicated themselves to God's warriors, silent, calm, proud and unshakable. They would never have done such reckless behavior...

Gars came to Ash Rufate, surrounded by several phoenix guards. He noticed that the "prince" was very calm and did not show any panic or wavering expression.

"What does this mean?" Ashu Rufate asked.

"In the name of the queen," Gars said coldly. "I demand to end the agreement between us!"

He moved a little too close, which gave Kay a chance. Kay suddenly pulled out the dagger from her body and rushed towards Gales. She reached out to grab the other party's neck and then put the dagger on Gales' neck. But a phoenix guard suddenly rushed over from the slant, his movements were almost incredible, and he blocked Gales's face when he was about to be released.

Kaiyi's short sword rubbed against the other party's shoulders. Under the protection of the sacred energy and metal armor, the sword's edge made a terrifying friction sound. Just as Kaiyi noticed something was trying to stop and retreat, she felt something hit her forehead hard.

The next moment, the world turned upside down and began to shatter.

"Prince... Go quickly..." This was her last sentence before she lost consciousness.

I don't know how long she slowly woke up. The unique atmosphere of the soil filled her nostrils. She heard someone talking, quickly and loudly. Then, someone helped her up from the ground.

The dizziness in her mind slowly faded away. Kaiyi barely opened her eyes and saw that it was Prince Ash Rufat who was holding her. A warm and wet feeling hung above her hair. She knew that she was injured on her head, but it was not that serious injury. Because she could at least control her body.

There was also a clear pain on the ribs. Which Phoenix Guard should have been scratched with a weapon just now... It would be great if he was wearing armor...

Kay saw that Gars was still there, his face was cold, and the Phoenix Guards all stared at them with vigilant eyes. Without more, she knew that Gars had won this time. Although Prince Ash Rufate had excellent combat skills and had a magic sword that could be summoned at any time, he undoubtedly refused to use force to resolve this betrayal. This practice is noble and stupid.

"Garce, do you think you'll be safe after doing this?" Kay said with gritting teeth.

"I admit that this is dangerous, but it's better than... to deliver it to an alien like you."

"Alien..." Kai felt an indescribable pain in his heart, which was far worse than the injuries she suffered. "His Highness Ashurufat is a prince... and you just...even if no one punishes you legally, everything you do..."

"He is nothing!" Gars replied coldly. "Do you really think he is a prince? He is not even a Yasuul!"

Kay turned his head in surprise and looked at Prince Asu Rufat. The latter remained silent like a phoenix guard and did not try to refute Gars.
