Chapter 98 Betrayal
In the evening of the next day, a dark elf scout hurried back to the Endless Tower and brought the latest news to Ganon and Anya who were waiting in the hall:
"The spies we have inserted into the army The latest news obtained is that the troops passed through the mountain pass three hours ago, and it is expected that the entire army will enter the Greystone Canyon in another two hours." "
Then it's almost time to make preparations." Ganouen pondered, then turned to look Another dark elf asked, "Where is Longkou Fortress?"
"There is no news from there yet." The other party saluted respectfully.
"Their meeting point is very close to the Longkou Fortress. I'm afraid the empire plans to wait until the troops of the Principality of Xihe are in place before sending out troops. As long as you, husband, take care of the troops of the Principality of Xihe in the canyon, the Longkou Fortress should remain stationary. Yeah." Anya analyzed beside Ganouen.
"After all, we still can't let down our guard. I'll be troublesome for you to look after the house." Ganon said, taking out the book of authority and handing it to Anya.
"Of course, I will do my best." Anya held the book of authority in her chest and stared at Ganon lovingly.
"There are a lot of traps I have set up in the treasure house. To prevent you from accidentally breaking in, I have temporarily blocked them. Those two annoying women, I am worried that they will be confused and provoke you when I leave. They are temporarily detained in the dungeon. Don't worry about them. They just need to wait here for me to come back." Ganon ordered.
"I understand, husband, please feel free to worry." Anya bowed her head respectfully.
Ganon swallowed a lot of iron before, then melted it in his belly and spit out the molten iron. In this way, he completely welded the entrance to the cellar and the third and fourth floors, trying to force it open. It takes a lot of work.
Considering the dragon's nature, this logic of action is reasonable. No matter how much he trusts Anya, temporarily handing the Book of Authority to her is just a measure to deal with intruders at the moment. He will still not let Anya get close to his treasure unless necessary.
Anya didn't care about this. Once she completely occupied the tower, it wouldn't be too late to count the treasures here.
"I'm looking forward to tonight's show." Ganouen showed an evil smile that suited his personality.
"Me too." Anya also showed a sincere smile.
She was really looking forward to the evening's "show."
Ganon turned around and climbed up the stairs, accompanied by Anya, all the way to the top of the tower, and then transformed into a dragon form.
He fluttered his wings and took off in the direction of the gray stone valley, soaring upwards, and soon disappeared into the sky.
After confirming the red dragon's departure, Anya let out a sigh of relief.
She picked up the Book of Authority and tried to mobilize the power within it, and soon felt a response.
There is no doubt that this is the real thing she used yesterday. The red dragon really handed this to her and left.
It would probably be an hour before the red dragon arrived at Graystone Canyon and realized that he had been deceived before rushing back.
"Congratulations, mistress." Zyra appeared behind Anya and bowed to her, "The task is completed. They will be here soon." They - referring to the messenger
and The army he brought.
According to the plan, within an hour after the red dragon is transferred out of the territory, the messenger will lead the troops to take the magic book from Anya and take over the tower.
When the Red Dragon comes back, he will face the Endless Tower, which has changed hands, and an entire army.
"Yes, the mission ends here." Anya showed a meaningful smile.
——At
the same time, Ganon landed outside the surveillance range of the Endless Tower and landed on a hillside on the edge of the territory.
Isabel and Zhenna, who he claimed were locked in the dungeon, were actually here. Ganon asked them to sneak out of the tower early in the morning and wait here. With [Watchers] monitoring them, it is easy for them to bypass the dark elves in their territory.
Zhenna and Isabel spread out a picnic cloth and set up a tent in an open space, and spent a leisurely day here.
"Ganoen!" Isabel saw him from a distance, got up and waved to him.
Ganon landed and turned into a human form, looked at them and said, "You guys are living quite leisurely." "It
should be easy for you, too. After all, that dark elf has been deceived by you a long time ago. You still have a good time." I tease her every day." Zhenna replied.
"This is to establish a good character, and it takes skill to play a fool in front of others. But fortunately, these dark elves seem to have a general stereotype of dragons, so it is relatively easy to deceive them," Ganon said.
"Should we continue to wait now?" Zhenna asked.
"We have to wait until the people behind them show up. I think they won't keep us waiting for too long." Ganouen sat down.
Anya once contacted the envoy to "send troops", and then used a trick to lure Ganon to temporarily leave the tower.
Normally, that troop would have arrived to occupy the Endless Tower while he was away, and the envoy might also appear.
It only takes Ganon an hour to go back and forth to Greystone Canyon, so the other party will also take action within this hour.
They are now lying in ambush near the territory, using [Watchers] to monitor the situation in the territory at all times. When the fish takes the bait, he will kill back and catch the envoy and the dark elves in one fell swoop.
"Let's take a good rest now, Ganon. How about you try the snacks I made by myself?" Isabel enthusiastically handed over a piece of cake.
"Are your pastries normal?" Ganon glanced at the pastries in Isbell's hand suspiciously.
As a druid, Isabel seems to like tinkering with some herbal medicines, and seems to have a soft spot for things with certain effects.
He asked because Isabel had a criminal record. Shitou once caught her trying to add strange things to Ganon's food.
"No matter what I say, I am still sensible. Why would I give you that kind of food at such a time?" Isabel muttered.
"It means it will be added at other times, right?"
Ganon took one bite of the cake made by Isbell, and then heard a dry cough from the other side.
Ganon glanced over and saw Zhenna taking out an irregularly shaped biscuit from the basket with a blushing face and handing it over without saying a word.
Ganon glanced at the various kitchen utensils piled beside the campfire not far away. The two princesses were actually free enough to try to practice their cooking skills in the wild.
Ganon took it into his mouth without saying a word.
"Okay, Ganon, next is the classic death question." Isabel smiled and put her hand on Ganon's shoulder, "Who tastes better?" "Can I tell the truth
? ?" Ganon said expressionlessly.
"I don't want to hear it anymore." Zhenna had already anticipated Ganouen's answer.
"Say what you say." Isabel still urged the other party to continue speaking.
"It's half a pound, and it's not very tasty." Ganouen gave his honest opinion without any hesitation.
Although the two princesses could not be said to be pampered, they were still insulated from the work in the kitchen. After all, the things they cooked for the first time on a whim were almost boring.
Zhenna didn't say anything, just sighed.
And Isabel grabbed Ganouen's arm and said reluctantly: "Is this the way you treat things made with love by girls?" " If you
really have love, practice with rocks more and then give it to me. Eat." After Ganon said, he summoned the projection of [Watcher], "Let's talk about the date later, we will get down to business soon."
Ganon began to use [Watcher] to continuously monitor the people in the territory. In this situation, shortly after he left the territory, the dark elf sent a bat familiar to the northwest.
The troops sent by the envoy should be in this direction.
According to his estimation, the fox tail of the force behind the dark elves will soon be revealed.
The facts were just as he expected. About ten minutes later, a group of cavalry appeared on the edge of [Watcher].
He expanded the screen to observe these people carefully and found that the cavalry was mainly composed of humans, followed by dark elves and orcs, then some dwarves, and finally a few individual elves.
The equipment worn by these people does not seem to be uniform, but the formation seems to be quite orderly, like a trained training group.
"Strange? Which force is this from?" Zhenna also noticed something strange and stood up.
There are some scattered city-states in the wilderness to the northwest, as well as some bandit groups, among which there are indeed racially mixed groups.
But generally speaking, the combination of elves and dark elves, or orcs and other civilized races, will basically never appear.
Ganon frowned. He suddenly noticed something and began to look for the leading commander in the cavalry array.
He discovered an unusual cavalryman, a knight completely wrapped in full-coverage armor. According to [Watcher]'s recognition, this knight had no aura of a living being. It would be better to say that the inside of this armor was simply empty.
It is an activated object, a stone-like golem. According to the confessions of the dark elf maids, the golem that the messenger remotely controls to communicate with people in Night Blade Castle is a pair of metal armor.
Ganon suddenly understood what force was behind the control of the Night Blade family.
It seemed that the envoy still hadn't shown up, and actually controlled the golem to lead the troops.
No matter how you say it, it’s too arrogant, right? Ganon couldn't help but be a little confused.
However, even if he couldn't catch the messenger, he already had the answer.
"They are approaching the Endless Tower." Isabel said.
"Then it's time for us to take action." Ganon stood up and prepared to lead the two of them back to the Endless Tower.
At this moment, a sunrise-like flash suddenly lit up in the direction of the tower in the distance.
"Ganoen!" Zhenna suddenly pointed at the projection of [Watcher] and reminded loudly.
Ganon took a closer look and was surprised to see a ring of judgment angels appearing on the side of the tower.
Then, the pillar of fire spurted out and blasted towards the group of cavalry approaching the Endless Tower!
Ganouen couldn't help but be surprised.
Anya Nightblade, who holds the Book of Authorization, actually summoned the interception spell to attack the troops sent by the envoy! ?
