Rex sat at the back, and looked at that orc whose expression had changed a few times as he tried to regain control of the pilot's seat. He didn't stop Connie.
It was no secret that there was a traitor in the Falk Tribe. Apart from himself and Rex, he wasn't even sure who was Auster's man.
Connie's itinerary was exposed in advance when she went to Rodu by herself previously. It was just that her route was too strange, and she managed to avoid all of the other party's attacks. She arrived at Chaos City safely, and the other party missed.
And this time, the orcs were divided into two factions when they went to Chaos City for the peace conference. Auster wanted to have the final say in the orcs, and killing them halfway was the last chance.
He had made some arrangements, but because there was no one in the Falk Tribe that he could trust, he was still the only one accompanying Connie on the trip to Chaos City.
As for this orc who was flying the steed, he was also randomly selected. Anyway, no matter how meticulous the selection was, he couldn't guarantee the other party's loyalty. He might as well just choose one randomly and deny him directly.
Judging from his unusual anxiousness, he must have been bribed by Auster, or perhaps threatened by him.
"Chief, why don't I drive? You can just have a good rest at the back," the orc said carefully with an anxious look on his face.
"You think you're more capable than me?" Connie glanced at him from the side.
"No, no. I'm just worried that it will be too tiring for you, Chief." The orc quickly shook his head.
"It's alright. I think it's fun. You can have a rest at the back." Connie pulled the rope around the big white bird's neck, and flew towards the south.
When the orc saw that, he quickly said, "Hey, hey, hey. You're flying in the wrong direction. Chaos City should be flying towards the front. Do you see that tall mountain in the distance? You should be flying in that direction."
Connie blushed slightly, and seriously said, "Who said so? Flying like this is the right way. I have a very good sense of direction!"
"I've flown over Chaos City hundreds of times, and I've always flown in this direction. After passing through that mountain, there will be plains all the way, and we'll be close to Chaos City." The orc was so anxious that his forehead was covered in cold sweat. "Listen to me. You can't go wrong."
"I'm not listening, I'm not listening!" Connie shook his head repeatedly, his gaze resolute. "The direction I choose is definitely right! There is absolutely no mistake! "
"But …" The beast tamer still wanted to say something.
"What's on that mountain?" Lex suddenly asked.
The muffled sound made the beast tamer's heart jolt, and a chill ran down his spine. His body stiffened slightly as he turned around with a smile, and said, "There's... there's snow."
When he met Lex's gaze, he felt as though all his secrets had been seen through.
"I'm afraid of the cold. I'm not going!" Connie refused even more decisively this time. She patted the big white bird's back, and rode the big white bird towards the south like riding a horse. Soon, the tall mountain became an invisible black dot.
"It's over …"
The beast tamer's heart turned cold, and he sat down on the bird's back.
"Are you going to jump down yourself, or do you want me to kick you down?" Lex asked the beast tamer coldly.
"I just want my family to live. Why won't you give me a chance …" The beast tamer shouted hysterically at Lex and Connie.
"Hmm???" Connie looked at the beast tamer in confusion.
"I'm going to kill you!" That beast tamer wanted to kill him. A short knife suddenly appeared from his wide sleeves, and stabbed towards Connie's back.
However, just as the tip of his knife appeared, Lex had already kicked him in the back.
That beast tamer could only let out a scream before he was sent flying. After a long while, a muffled sound of something falling to the ground could be heard.
"Was he bribed by Auster too?" Connie finally came back to his senses, and blinked as he asked Lex.
"What do you think?" Lex rolled her eyes. She didn't know how to praise her precious disciple anymore.
"That seems to be the case." Connie nodded seriously.
"When we come back from this meeting, it seems like I'll have to teach you more about how to read people," Lex said with a sigh. She felt that there was still a long way to go.
"Master, actually, even if you didn't do anything, he wouldn't have been able to stab me," Connie said seriously. "I'm confident."
"I'm really not confident about that." Lex shook her head.
"Then which direction should we fly in now?" Connie looked around, and asked.
"Didn't you say that you have a strong sense of direction?"
"I lose my sense of direction when I get nervous …" Connie blushed. He looked around, and randomly pointed in a direction. "Let's go. It's here!"
…
"Why aren't they here yet?" Auster asked with a frown half an hour later as he looked at the sky where only a bird was flying slowly.
"They … they should be here soon …" The orc who had made a solemn vow earlier wiped the cold sweat off his forehead as he panicked.
All the orcs had different expressions as they looked at the empty sky. No matter how slow Connie and the rest were flying, they should be here by now.
Everyone couldn't help but recall the previous ambush. They had also waited here for a long time, but Connie had already arrived at Chaos City, and they didn't even see a bird feather.
"The person you're looking for better not be a problem." Auster looked at him with a deep gaze.
"His whole family is in my hands. There definitely won't be a problem." The orc wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and nodded.
They waited for another half an hour.
They didn't see Connie, but a purple-striped griffin came from behind them.
"Alex!"
Everyone looked at the majestic purple-striped griffin and the person on its back, and they couldn't help but exclaim.
Meg frowned as he looked at the mountain peak below. Auster was the leader of the orcs, and there were six 10th-tier powerhouses, and dozens of 8th-tier and 9th-tier orcs. They had obviously emptied the resources of the warring orcs to form such an ambush.
However, judging from their condition, they shouldn't have encountered Connie and the rest yet.
While he heaved a sigh of relief, he was also a little puzzled. This place wasn't far from the Falk Tribe, and it was the only way to get to Chaos City. Could it be that Connie and the rest hadn't set off yet? He didn't see Connie on his way here, either.
"Alex, what are you doing here among the orcs?!" Auster shouted as he looked at Meg warily. A few 10th-tier orcs were also approaching him.
The news of Alex killing Bruno had already spread to the orcs. He was also one of the masterminds behind the assassination of Alex back then. Now that Alex had suddenly appeared here, could it be that he was here to find trouble with him?
After losing an arm, Auster's power dropped drastically. He couldn't summon up any fighting spirit in front of Alex after witnessing the battle between Alex and that devil.
"Are you afraid if I say I'm going to kill you?" Meg asked Auster with a half-smile.
