The bonfire shines with the last ray of residual light in the cave.

Carey fell asleep by the bonfire wrapped in a blanket. But Ashu Rufate didn't need sleep. He was sitting on a stone outside the cave and looked at the vast and deserted land with his dark vision.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Carrie asked in her mind

"I was thinking about what kind of trap the dark elves set up." Ash Rufate sighed. "But there is no clue at all."

"You shouldn't consider this. Please remember that you have been exiled and the military affairs have nothing to do with you anymore. These are the elves who suffer from it themselves, so don't worry about this anymore. Speaking of which, we are quite lucky because the portal we are going to is not the one used by the dark elves. If it were that, I'm afraid it would be a headache now." Carrie said in her mind. "I suggest you consider Kay's problem."

Ashu Rufate did not answer.

"Master, what do you think Kay wants?"

"What do you want?"

"Well, although it is about 'fighting against the unfair world', it is a very long-term goal. Even Kay himself doesn't think he has the ability to accomplish it. Not everyone has the ability to accomplish such a vast and profound goal. Big goals are also composed of small goals."

"oh."

"If you want to say goals, you should also formulate a more reasonable basis based on your actual ability, right? With strong strength and will, then choose the most difficult path. On the contrary, if you lack your own strength and go to the most dangerous path, isn't that pitiful?"

"I don't understand what you said."

"I mean Kay. Master, you have a great position in her heart now, and you are the only one who can enlighten her now. With her current ability, it is really a goal that can be too illusory to change the conservatism, prejudice and so on of the elves."

"Carley, why do I think you're hinting at something?"

"You misunderstood me, master." Carrie said in a grievance. "No matter what, there are two choices now. The first is that you stay here for a long time. If you use magic treatment, Kay's injury will be completely recovered in the afternoon. The second choice is to set off immediately after dawn. Although Kay's injury has not healed at that time, he should be able to recover his strength and will not affect our itinerary. The difference between the two is only half a day, just choose one."

"The first type is better." Ashu Rufate thought for a while and replied.

"Actually, I have another suggestion about Kay."

“What suggestions?”

"Master, after we arrive at our destination, we should not just take things and leave. Give me some time to connect the portal with the portal on the elves' land...it's similar to what the dark elves do. But with my strength, I believe that we can find the right target in just one or two hours. Then we can send Kai over..."

"Kay sent it over?"

"Well, before that, you have to convince Kay that things should be done within your ability. To go thousands of miles, you must start with taking the first step. To change the conservatism and discrimination of the elf, you should start with the people around you. Let her give up the goal that is too big and extremely difficult to achieve, and start with some small things within her ability. I believe you can use this method to convince Kay."

"Carrie...you seem to treat girls very carefully."

"This is my nature." Carrie replied immediately. "After all, Lord Qinxin created me. To serve girls, you must be gentle and delicate. Master, my suggestion should be fine, right? It only takes one or two hours. It is not impossible to bring Kai back to Sivania, but how to send it back will become a big problem... Master? Master? What's wrong with you?"

"Carrie, you just said... it takes you an hour or two to open the portal?"

"Of course, the space link is not that simple. One or two hours is not an exaggeration. If it weren't for me, but those dark elves who were going to start the portal, with their level of spiritual energy civilization, it would probably take countless trials, and it would be normal even if it took decades. Why? Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Carrie...I understand."

"Get it?"

"I finally understand what the trap set by the dark elves are!"

...

Yilan walked out of the room and she saw no surprise that the gray-white cloak was waiting for her outside.

Yilan was wearing a very simple loose robe. Through the collar of the clothes, she could see her delicate and fair skin, which was as warm as jade, and had a nearly translucent texture. If she was an ordinary woman, she might give anything to get such skin.

"How is the situation?" asked Gray White Cloak anxiously.

"It's exactly the same as expected." Yilan replied in a cold tone without emotion. "The equipment life has come to an end, and this is the last time. The load has reached its limit and is on the verge of scrapping. It's impossible for another one to go. But even if it's last, what's the difference for me?"

"Don't say that, it's so sad." The gray-white cape said after being silent for a few seconds.

"How is the situation over Ash Rufat?" Yilan asked.

"Same as you expected," replied the Gray-White Cloak. "If we were not wrong, he had left the elves' army and was now heading to his destination. He had plenty of time, so I believe he would move forward cautiously, and it would take about ten days to reach the destination."

"About ten days." Yilan repeated once and nodded. "Very good."

"Yilan, you shouldn't choose this time for maintenance."

"I'm going to do the last thing in my life, so I hope to do it in the most perfect posture." Yilan smiled sweetly, but there was endless loneliness in her smile. "It seems like I told you a long time ago."

"I'm talking about this, I don't want to stop you, Yilan. But remember... I will always remember you as a friend. As long as I'm alive."

"Thank you." Yilan left this sentence, left gracefully, and disappeared at the corner of the aisle in a blink of an eye, and could no longer be seen.

...

When Kai woke up, it was already quite late. She lifted the blanket and found that her wound had almost completely recovered. This is because under the washing of the wind energy of life, the recovery ability of any creature will be greatly improved. As long as the organs are not damaged, or the wound has deteriorated such as inflammation and suppuration, even the more serious wounds can be recovered in a short period of time.

"Prince..." Kay saw Ashu Rufat sitting outside the cave, as if he was meditating alone.

"No need to call me a prince now." Ashu Rufate turned his head. "It's too late." He said to himself.

"What's too late?" Kay was confused for a moment.

"Kay, I finally understand the Truzis' plan." He said softly. "It's a pity that it's too late."

"Their plan?" Kay asked in confusion.

"Well, do you remember what we analyzed before? Their main force stayed in the mining area, because the distance was too far, so he could not come back... It could not pose any threat to the operations of our Expeditionary Force. Unless they found a way to gather a fast force and force it to force it regardless of everything... Of course, they did not do this. However, even if they did this quietly, the soldiers would lose their combat power due to excessive fatigue, and it would be difficult to change the overall situation. It is based on this judgment that we cannot see through what Truqi wants to do."

"It's true." Kay said.

"But in fact, the premise of this judgment - that is, the enemy's main force did not have time to arrive - is not true. Because the Truzis have portals." Ashurufate said calmly.

"Portway? Portal!" Kaiy screamed. The next moment, all the enemy's plans and plans became clear. The Truzi and others did draw away the garrison troops in the royal city. This is a true fact... But for the Expeditionary Force, there was no chance at all.

"Druzzi opened an ancient portal and realized the invasion of our homeland." Ashrufat said. Before he knew it, he became the Elf Prince again. "But it was not that the ancient portal suddenly opened spontaneously, but that the Truzzi and others activated it in some way."

Kai nodded. This is actually easy to understand. If the portal was opened spontaneously, Truqi would not have mobilized a large army to invade immediately. Moreover, the portal that was spontaneously activated was too dangerous. Since it could be spontaneously activated, of course it could be closed spontaneously. Without 100% certainty, no one would use this portal to launch such a large-scale war.

"Invasion through the portal means that the Trujis have undergone many trials and attempts to confirm their reliability, so that they can invade boldly. Whether it is Nagaros or our homeland, there are many ancient portal sites. If Trujis have completely mastered several portals in the experiment, it is not surprising. Just so happens," Ashurufate pointed at a certain location in the distance. "There is a portal that is right there, just on the way our army must pass to the royal city. And there are also several portal sites next to the mining area."

Kay's face turned very pale.

"At this moment, I believe that the main forces of Truqi and others are lined up on the road they must pass, waiting for the expeditionary forces to fall into the trap. If Garce marching at a faster speed, then the vanguard troops have probably begun to fight with the enemy. If he marching at a slower speed... they will inevitably encounter the enemy before noon."

Both of them knew the size of the main force of Truqi. Although it was actually just a left-behind force, it was more than three times that of the expeditionary force in terms of quantity and quality, and they were waiting for work.
