Sasha was about to go crazy.
On one hand, she couldn't contact her two sisters. If Aurelia and Cirvanas received the message, they would definitely rush over as soon as possible. However, the message she and her Rangers sent to Tirisfal Forest was like a stone sinking into the ocean.
She wasn't worried about her two sisters' safety. In her heart, as long as they entered the forest, they would be the strongest. It was obvious that they were being held back by a target. If she guessed correctly, it had to be Grom Hellscream. Her two sisters were still brooding over the fact that they couldn't take down that fierce orc even after working together in the first battle of Southshore.
Their stubbornness caused Duque to lack powerful supporters.
On the other hand …
If Duque and the other three guards remained silent from start to finish, Sasha wouldn't feel troubled. If they focused their thoughts on the dangerous mission that they were about to face, Sasha wouldn't feel troubled.
The problem was that Duque's journey was too leisurely. If one ignored the fact that this was enemy territory, there would be at least seven or eight waves of flying dragons flying overhead every day. This was like an outing. Ever since they'd come ashore, they'd only traveled a little more than 120 kilometers in four days.
This was even slower than the normal marching speed of a human army.
The swamp terrain was a little difficult to walk on. At least there were many paths that were obviously made by orcs. These paths led in all directions. As long as they headed east, they definitely wouldn't lose their way. However, Duque just rode on his horse, joking with Marian and Gavin Rad. He occasionally gave Rhonin some pointers, but he refused to speed up.
Everyone could see that Duque's hair was getting whiter by the day. The small tuft on his forehead turned white at the temples. Sasha also accidentally saw that the skin on the inside of Duque's left arm was starting to wrinkle like an old man's.
Sasha finally couldn't take it anymore. She pulled Duque behind a small hill and said, "Duque, did you notice? Your hair is rapidly turning silver! "
"Isn't silver good? Silver is quite pretty. Look, don't you have silver hair too? "Duque seemed to be joking as he played with a strand of Sasha's silver hair.
This was supposed to be a very intimate act. Normally, Sasha would have minded it, but she couldn't care less now.
"Are you still joking? Duque, why aren't you nervous at all? Your life is counting down!? "
On Duque's face, there was an enigmatic calmness and calmness that Sasha could not imagine.
"I don't know what you think of this war. I think that since I joined the Alliance's army, the moment I joined, every Alliance soldier should be mentally prepared to sacrifice themselves. Yes, I was afraid of it too, and I didn't want to die in agony after being tortured. But since I'm shouldering the future and fate of the three races with Noxus, I can't show timidity in front of my subordinates. "
"But, shouldn't we hurry to Grim Batol Fortress?" The beautiful silver-haired elf waved her tender arms agitatedly, using her body language to express her unease and dissatisfaction. "Or, do you know some important information that you don't think I have the right to know?"
Sasha's subtext was: Duque, do you think I'm not as good as my sisters?
Duque sighed. To be honest, Sasha was indeed not as good as her two sisters now. Aurelia and Cirvanas, who had become Ranger Generals a long time ago, had rich battle experience. They were great talents who could take charge on their own. Because the Silver Moon Council did not want the Windrunner family to have too many Ranger Generals, Sasha had always been a small Ranger Captain.
Now, Sasha had the best talent, but she lacked experience. Right now, Sasha's abilities were far from what she had been when she had become the boss of the Silver Alliance.
Sasha, who was taking charge of a mission for the first time, was a little impatient and had the patience to observe problems.
Duque could not bear to disappoint her. "It's not about whether I have the right or not. It's just that I don't know how to break out of this situation."
"Break out?"
Duque seemed to sense something. He waved at Sasha and asked her to move her ear closer.
Sasha hesitated for a moment, but she immediately did as he said. Even though she believed that even if Duque spoke softly, her sharp hearing would be able to catch Duque's words, Sasha had seen Duque whisper to her elder sister before. She was very curious and felt that it was a form of intimacy and acknowledgment.
Yes, acknowledgment from a very great human commander.
However, after moving closer and sticking her ear closer, Sasha regretted it a little. Duque's soft breath tickled her pointy ear. It was a strange and numb feeling that she had never felt before. The breath of an adult man caused her slender and beautiful neck to be dyed a crimson red.
She tried hard to hold it in, and secretly activated her wind power to interfere with any possible eavesdroppers. Then, Duque's words were indeed very important.
"Yes! The Red Dragon Queen's capture is part of a continuous plot related to the internal strife of the dragons. If I'm not wrong, the Red Dragon Queen was controlled by the artifact that was attached to her power and soul — the [Demon's Soul] that was transformed from the [Dragon's Soul]. This matter was most likely the doing of the legendary Black Dragon King, Deathwing. I'll think of a way to attract Nesario's attention and make our team part of his plot. "
Sasha had always been curious and intelligent. She had read about the ancient war in ancient books.
However, Duque actually wanted to dance on the claws of the scheming Black Dragon King, and then use the sinister and cunning Deathwing? That's too daring, isn't it?
According to Sasha's calculations, unless Deathwing rushed to the Well of the Sun and courted death, even with all the power of Cuel Salas, they might not be able to kill this Ancient Dragon King!
Sasha's sexy red lips opened wide in surprise!
She suddenly understood why Duque moved as if he was on a field trip. However, isn't this too obvious? Or is it not obvious enough to attract Deathwing's attention?
What if Deathwing isn't monitoring this area?
Sasha's mind was in a mess. "How can I achieve the effect you want without leaving any traces?"
Just as Duque was about to say something, a loud noise came from the team. Under Duke and Sasha's astonished gazes, one or more Beastmen's broken limbs flew into the air, and the cause of this effect was an incomparably huge ball of arcane energy.
Sasha couldn't help but shout, "Rhonin, you idiot!"
