Master Overlord - Chapter 397

What am I doing? Looking at the desperate bazaar, pace couldn’t help feeling remorse.

In the final analysis, she is just a girl, not a few years older than her sister Eugenie. Why should he tell her such a cruel truth at such a difficult time? What’s the difference between this and sprinkling salt on the wound.

“Look, you don’t believe it yourself…” bazaar dropped her head, slowly fell down on the bed, turned her back to them, rolled into a ball, repressing her sobbing and shaking body.

At this moment, she was nothing at last.

“Miss bazaar, I, I’m sorry -”

Just as pace made a guilty voice to comfort, a cold light of metal flashed in front of him. He rushed forward, grabbed each other’s delicate arm and stopped the dagger that had been against the girl’s chest.

“Miss bazaar, what are you doing? There is hope only when people are alive. You still have relatives and your brother dimad is still there! You still have a day to get together. You’ll have nothing if you die!”

Bazaar frantically struggled, desperate for survival, and broke out at this moment, without turning back to death. Pace took the dagger and looked at the sobbing girl with guilt.

Elif was shocked and speechless by the thrilling moment just now. He never thought that a Basha who was afraid of death would dare to stab herself with a dagger.

“I have nothing, nothing…” bazaar sobbed sadly. Losing the family fief became the last straw to overwhelm her. At this moment, she really became, as elif said, a poor homeless man.

“As long as you live, you still have hope…” pace is never good at comforting people, especially women. Looking at the situation he caused, he racked his brains to put forward a suggestion. “Miss bazaar, if you promise, I can protect you from here, go to Fengxi City, and then send someone to escort you to the trik family when the war is over. Your brother and aunt are there, and they can protect you.”

After that, without waiting for the sobbing bazaar to reply, he turned to look at elif with a complex expression and said seriously, “elif, I have something to ask you!”

“Ask, Lord pace.”

“Gulbin told me that the king of the wild people had reached a cooperation agreement with green and the Davidson family. Do you know that?”

“Cooperation agreement?” elif said with a blank look and a positive tone, “Lord pace, although I don’t know what kind of agreement it is, people like gulbin are not trustworthy. As far as I know, when passing through ligppus County, the other party didn’t communicate about the cooperation agreement except sending food and praying for freedom from aggression. At least I’ve never heard of any agreement.”

In the dark tent, pace stared into elif’s eyes. He didn’t know what he was looking forward to. The other party’s eyes didn’t dodge or panic, but elif’s negative answer didn’t bring him any comfort.

In the afternoon, gulbin found him and said he would save his life. He told him that Davidson, the Green family and the king of the wild people had known their battle plan and reached a cooperation agreement. He advised him to flee at night and go back to prepare for the war instead of losing his life in vain.

“Gulbin, is this the plot of Gong Xiangxin? He really took great pains to make a battle plan for our northern territory early. But you probably don’t know that the southern territory has declared war on him.”

Of course, he would not easily believe such scum as gulbin, but in the face of his doubt, the other party smiled contemptuously. His eyes seemed to see what he thought. He not only directly said their battle plan, but also told him the plans of Davidson, the Green family and the king of the wild people.

Taking him hostage is just a strategy to paralyze them.

Once the food is available, the northern people and horses will leave the city as planned, and the wild people will immediately turn their hair and attack, while the green and Davidson families will launch a surprise attack from the East.

Gulbin’s words have obvious loopholes. He knows very well that when he leaves the castle, the West still can’t give an accurate reply. That is to say, the battle plan spoken by the other party has not been recognized by the west at all. They are just forcing the West and the north to send troops together, forcing the west to ask for help from the north.

In addition, according to the other party’s position, such information should never be disclosed to him.

But even knowing this, pace was still shocked by the news revealed by the other party.

Gulbin may not know about them and the west, but the news about the green and Davidson families is undoubtedly true.

Before leaving Fengxi castle, Eugenie knew where to get the news and asked him to write to Lingfeng castle for help. Lord Arthur’s reply also confirmed the authenticity of the news and promised that the two families would not have the opportunity to send troops.

It can be inferred that although gulbin’s words are hidden traps, they are not completely groundless and fabricated.

In addition, gulbin told him, “it doesn’t matter what your battle plan is. The wild people don’t believe you at all. Once you get the food, you will immediately be attacked by the wild people’s army and Davidson’s family. And you will either become the first person to sacrifice or be treated as a prisoner threatening your father.”

At that time, he tried his best to keep his face calm and did not ridicule threaten the other party. If the king of the wild people knew what he was saying now, whether it was true or not, he would be executed immediately.

But gulbin only smiled, determined that he would never do so, and reminded him that he should immediately flee back to his family, bring back this important information and be ready for the battle of life and death. At least, the only food the wild people have is not enough to support a long war.

At that moment, pace was silent.

Before he could react, gulbin had kicked his horse to catch up with the westward wild people again.

At this point, the other party may have seen a flaw in his reaction. But he dared not gamble. If the situation was as the other party said, although the disclosure could kill gulbin, he would also be strictly guarded, and the North would be completely caught in the conspiracy of wild people and traitors.

At that time, even if the green and Davidson families are unable to send troops because of the river leader, the sudden attack of the wild people will be a disaster they can’t bear. He has seen the giants with his own eyes. If the wild people recklessly attack Fengxi City, they can open a city gate by sacrificing a few giants.

As gulbin said, the only chance for them to win is probably that he immediately brought back the news. Taking advantage of the lack of food for the wild people and the delay of the green and Davidson families by the river leader, he began to formulate new combat strategies: delaying the pace of the wild people, consuming the enemy’s food, building fortifications, etc.

But what if there is no such cooperation at all?

After a heavy sigh, pace slowly sat down and fell into a dilemma of depression, so that the crying bazaar on the other side stopped making a sound, looked at him and asked questions uneasily.

Elif also sat down, looked at the serious pace, thought, and said: “Lord pace, although you don’t know what gulbin said to you, you actually believe him. You want to get a reassuring answer from me, but my answer is not consistent with what you believe, or you don’t trust me, otherwise you won’t ask who I am. In that case, why do you take the risk to come to me?”

Pace turned to look at elif with a look. As he said, he did believe gulbin’s words, or he chose to believe gulbin’s words.

If the situation is exactly what the other party said, but he remains unmoved, the Northern Territory acting according to the plan will be defeated miserably. If he chooses to escape, whether the cooperation between the wild people and the two families is true or not, as long as he deals with it properly, the northern territory may still have a glimmer of vitality.

Therefore, the answer he really expected in his heart was not elif’s negative answer, but the other party’s positive answer to cooperation. In this way, he could escape at night without hesitation.

“Lord pace,” elif continued, “I can probably guess what gulbin said to you from what you said you would protect Miss Basha from leaving and your cooperation. Of course you can not trust me, but you shouldn’t trust people like gulbin.”

“He works for prime minister Flavi, and as you said, the South has declared war on the court and the East. Although I don’t know how to fight, I’m just a businessman, but I know something about the situation in the kingdom. At such a moment, Prime Minister Flavi certainly won’t want anyone to make trouble for him. Why did gulbin tell you such news?”

“Elif,” pace asked again, “are you sure you don’t know about the cooperation? Or don’t find anything unusual?”

Elif shook his head. “My Lord, I don’t always follow TUTA. Maybe there’s really any cooperation, but I really don’t know.”
