"Raphael, it won't be easy to kill Dismark," Cain said. "Dismark is a Supreme Knight himself and is very powerful. After activating the Lion King's Shield, his combat ability became even more terrifying. He also found three Holy Knights to help him, and … I have a feeling that there's a strong person hiding by Dismark's side. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the elven camp suddenly …"
"Ahem …" Han Jin suddenly coughed dryly.
Cain immediately reacted and hurriedly shut his mouth.
"What happened to the elven camp?" Julia asked. She had already heard it.
"The mysterious strong person by Dismark's side used some unknown method to cause chaos in the elven camp. Then, Dismark led the army and killed his way out. Fortunately, the elven commander is very experienced. He adjusted the deployment in time and repelled Dismark's attack," Cain explained.
Cain didn't dare to tell the truth. If Julia knew that Dismark had captured tens of thousands of elves, who knew what she would do?! It was one thing to feel guilty about the sudden betrayal of the elves, but it was another thing to sit back and watch as countless elves suffered.
"Didn't you just say that the three Holy Knights didn't participate in the battle? Obviously, they won't obey Dismark's orders." Han Jin changed the topic. Then, he thought of something. "Cain, do you know the names of the three Holy Knights?"
"I do." Cain nodded. "The old man is called Adonis, the middle-aged Knight is called Odo, and the youngest Holy Knight is called Amijay."
"What?" Han Jin was stunned. "Are you sure?!"
"Of course I'm sure. I even chatted with them. Raphael, what's wrong?"
"I know them." Han Jin smiled. When Jeddes introduced the internal structure of the Vatican to him, the two of them had been talking alone, so only he knew.
"Really?"
"Yes." Han Jin nodded and said, "They are the commanders of the Radiant Knight Corps. The last time I accepted Jeddes' request to go to the southwest region of the continent, it was to find them. Although I don't know why they are here, things have become very simple. Let Jedis make contact with them. Do you think they will still help Dismark? "
"Great!" "But … Raphael, don't forget about that mysterious powerhouse and the Magic Legion!" said Kane, rubbing his hands excitedly.
"Did you find anything noteworthy?"
"No, I've only joined the Magic Legion for a short period of time. Dismark won't trust me at all. I'm just relying on my intuition to think that there should be such a powerhouse."
"This … won't change anything." Han Jin pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly. "I can deal with Dismark, Guevara, Jeddes, Majordomo Gail, and Dominique. The four of them should be more than enough to deal with that mysterious guy, right? The Magic Legion … Leave it to the three Paladin Knight Corps and the Priest Corps. You and Yalina can assist them. No matter what, Dismark is doomed this time. "
What Han Jin said made sense. Although this was Dismark's territory, Han Jin's high-end power was far above Dismark's. The three Paladin Knight Corps and the Priest Corps could also act as spies. After all, Dismark had no chance of winning.
"Let's talk about the Magic Legion." Han Jin said slowly, "Kane, if you and Gibran suddenly attack, can you take care of those two supreme sorcerers?"
"I can take care of Legion Commander Sandy, but … that guy called Woodrow is a tenth-grade supreme sorcerer. I'm worried that Gibran …" In fact, Kane's utilitarian heart was not as strong as it was now. After joining the Magic Legion, his ambition sprouted little by little because Legion Commander Sandy was also a fire supreme sorcerer. Although they were both at the ninth-grade, Kane's strength was slightly stronger than his. Therefore, Kane thought that the days in Isolated Cliff City where he had to rely on hunting magic beasts for a living were too unfair. No matter how famous he was in the mercenary world, it was far less than the power and benefits of a legion commander.
"Woodrow?"
"No way! Raphael? You know that old guy? "Kane asked in surprise.
"Haha … an old friend. Woodrow used to be the Chief Magistrate of Beit City. Later, he was driven out of the Beitman Kingdom and fled to the territory of Black Raven City. He gathered his defeated soldiers and wanted to fight against Lang Ning, but was defeated by Lang Ning in the end."
"So it's him?!" Kane suddenly understood. He knew that Han Jin's Black Raven City had been attacked by two forces, but he didn't know the details. After Han Jin's reminder, he suddenly understood.
"It seems that … after being defeated by Lang Ning, he ran to the Holy Crown City to seek refuge with Dismark." Han Jin smiled, "Very good, very good. I can take care of them all at once."
"He's much stronger than me." Kane pondered, "However, although he didn't gain Dismark's trust, Sandy has always been afraid of him. Maybe I can find a way here."
"Don't worry." Han Jin said, "I'll go back and find Guevara and ask them to come up with a suitable plan. I'm not good at this."
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." Kane nodded.
Han Jin's eyes fell on Julia, "Julia, don't think too much. You must take care of yourself these days. Leave the rest to us."
Julia looked at Han Jin with grateful eyes and replied softly, "Okay."
Han Jin winked at Kane, "Then I'll go back first. You must be careful."
"Okay." Gibran forced a smile.
Kane understood and followed Han Jin to the courtyard. Han Jin looked at the closed door and whispered, "There are some things that you shouldn't let Julia know."
"I understand." Kane lowered his voice as much as he could.
"Gibran … Find a time to talk to him. He doesn't have to do anything, just look after Julia." Han Jin said slowly, "Tell him that this is my idea."
"Okay."
"You'd better set up a magic array above the basement to block the fluctuations outside. This way, Julia won't know what's going on outside."
"But … how long can we hide it?"
"Let's hide it for as long as we can." Han Jin reached out and patted Kane's shoulder, and his body sank down.
* * *
Unhindered Taoism provided Han Jin with a lot of convenience. It also allowed the entire group centered around Han Jin to gain a lot of visible and invisible advantages. If it were someone else, it might take a few months to pass the information to the High Command deep underground, and then the High Command would come up with a plan, and then bring the plan back. It was very likely that the opportunity would slip away with the passage of time. By then, it was unknown whether the plan would still be useful.
However, it only took Han Jin a few hours to find the Riptide Regiment. He summoned Guevara and the others, and told them all the information he had in his possession.
Jeddes was, of course, the most agitated. This archbishop, who had always been calm and indifferent, finally showed his fragile side. He even wanted to leave the camp immediately and look for the three Holy Knight.
Han Jin, on the other hand, was very lazy. After explaining the situation clearly, he let Guevara and the others leave his tent. As for what kind of plan Guevara and the others would come up with for the current situation, he didn't care at all, nor did he want to ask.
This kind of attitude was a matter of opinion. Perhaps some people secretly thought that Han Jin wasn't like a leader, but in a deeper sense, it might be a kind of wisdom! In terms of military strategy and so on, Han Jin definitely couldn't compare to Guevara, Jeddes, Majordomo Gail, and the others. He couldn't even compare to Lang Ning. Was there really a need to criticize him? Of course, Han Jin should study seriously and think of ways to improve himself, but after all, a person's energy was limited. He had tried his best to spend all the time he could on training. If he didn't train, why would he study strategy? Was that smart or stupid?
From another point of view, it was Han Jin's luck to be with such outstanding people as Guevara, Jeddes, Majordomo Gail, and so on. But if he didn't use it and forced himself to stand out, what was the point of being lucky? It was too wasteful!
Han Jin sat there without moving. He had said everything he needed to say, but he still kept the news that Sunier was married in his heart. First, he didn't want to be comforted, and second, he didn't want others to worry about him.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Jin took out the robe stained with dragon blood from the space ring and stroked it with his fingers. Although the magic robe was very free and easy to wear, it was too loose and not suitable for close combat. So, the robe that Han Jin wore was mostly changed by Sunier. Now, the robe was still there, but the person was no longer the same.
Han Jin held the robe and stared at it for a long time. Suddenly, his fingers loosened and the robe fell to the ground. Then, a ball of flame floated over and set the robe ablaze.
At this moment, Yalina suddenly walked in from outside and saw the fire on the ground. She asked in surprise, "Raphael, what are you doing?"
Han Jin didn't say anything. He stood up, took off his robe, and threw it into the fire.
"Raphael, what's wrong with you?!" Yalina's eyes widened.
"It's dirty," Han Jin said indifferently.
"Won't it be clean if you wash it?"
"Yalina, help me find a few female slaves who know how to sew." Han Jin didn't want to waste his breath on this issue. Burning the two robes looked like a child throwing a tantrum, but in fact, Han Jin needed to do something. Using this as a medium, he could be sad, he could be in pain, and he could vent. From now on, he would face the memories that made him feel warm or sad with a calm attitude.
"What happened?" Yalina still didn't give up.
"Forget it, I'll find them myself." Han Jin slowly walked out of the tent.
Yalina grabbed Han Jin's arm. "Tell me, what happened?"
"Nothing happened."
"I don't believe you!" Yalina said very seriously.
If it were Guevara and the others, they would never try to pry into Han Jin's privacy. If Han Jin was willing to talk, they would be a good listener. If Han Jin didn't want to talk, they wouldn't force him. If it were Morrisons and the others, perhaps they would obediently step aside if Han Jin gave them a look. Only Yalina could "force" and act shamelessly, which was a girl's capital.
Han Jin was amused. "What do you want to know? Give me a hint, and I'll satisfy you. "
"I …" Yalina's eyes fell on the ashes that were still flickering with sparks. "Is it Sunier …" It wasn't that Yalina had shocking intuition, but she had a guilty conscience. When she saw Han Jin's abnormal behavior, she naturally thought of Sunier.
"This has nothing to do with her," Han Jin said softly. "It really has nothing to do with her."
"Actually … actually, you don't have to think too much." Yalina was flustered and avoided Han Jin's gaze. "Really, Sunier will definitely come back." Yalina didn't mean what she said. She hoped that Han Jin and Sunier's relationship would break up, but she didn't want to hurt Han Jin or Sunier. After all, she and Sunier were very good friends during that time of adventure. This was also the fault of Grand Duke Solomon's teaching methods. He only let Yalina focus on magic. In other aspects, Yalina was almost a blank sheet of paper. She even absurdly thought that friendship was as important as national affairs.
Otherwise, Yalina's attitude would be much more natural than it was now, or she would have already started to sow discord. As for whether her little tricks could be hidden from Han Jin and the others, that was another matter.
"Come back?" Han Jin paused and said indifferently, "It doesn't mean anything to me. Sunier is not the Sunier of the past, and I am not the same person as before."
"How can you …" Yalina said in surprise. "No way! Your relationship is so good, it can't be! "
"You say that because you don't know what I've done." Han Jin smiled. "She won't forgive me, and I won't forgive anyone either." Han Jin couldn't help but think of the countless elves who died tragically under his sword that night, but he didn't regret it. If there was a button in his hand that could blow up all the elves by pressing it, he wouldn't hesitate to press it! It was the elves who launched the attack first and occupied his territory. His relationship with the elves had become irreconcilable enemies. It didn't seem difficult to choose whether to compromise and save a relationship that was flawed and regretful, or to be more decisive and do his best to protect all those who were willing to stand by his side.
If he let a few elves go, they might bring harm to his subordinates. He had no obligation to the former, but he had an unshirkable responsibility for the latter!
Did he have to wait until Riptide was surrounded by the elves and watch his loyal soldiers fall into a pool of blood one after another? Did he have enough reason to be ruthless? Wasn't it too late?! If he did this, he would be able to face Sunier, but how could he face the thousands of followers outside?!
He was facing a war, not a game. If he was soft-hearted and hesitant, he might be able to turn thousands of soldiers who shouldn't have died into white bones. Moreover, he was in a disadvantageous position, so what right did he have to forgive the enemy?!
"You … what did you do?" Yalina asked anxiously.
Han Jin didn't want to talk anymore. He reached out to push Yalina's hand away, but Yalina's attitude was unusually firm. She held onto Han Jin's arm with both hands and refused to let go. Han Jin couldn't force Yalina's fingers away. The two of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
"You really can't tell me? We're … we're friends. "After looking at each other for a moment, Yalina hurriedly avoided Han Jin's gaze.
Han Jin suddenly felt irritated. He had noticed some time ago that Yalina's attitude towards him was a little ambiguous. He didn't want to accept anything and was disgusted by her taking advantage of his weakness. However, as Yalina said, they were friends who had gone through thick and thin together. He could refuse, but he couldn't hurt Yalina.
Just as Han Jin was thinking about whether he should say it out loud, the curtain was lifted and Jeddes walked in. When he saw Han Jin and Yalina, he couldn't help but laugh. "You two are …"
Yalina's face suddenly turned red. She let go of her hand and ran out in a panic.
Han Jin secretly sighed. "Jeddes, what's the matter?"
"This is a good way to divert attention and make it easier for you to forget the past." Jeddes smiled.
"Don't talk nonsense. It's not what you think." Han Jin shook his head.
"Haha … I didn't want to get involved, but since things have come to this point, I think it's time for me to say it out loud," Jeddes said softly.
"What do you want to say?" Han Jin frowned slightly.
"Do you know who the elves hate the most?"
"Me?"
"No, it's Knight Guevara." Jeddes pondered for a moment. "In Isolated Cliff City, the Great Elf Lydia once attacked Knight Guevara."
It was always convenient for smart people to talk. Jeddes didn't need to explain the cause and effect. Han Jin had already guessed a lot from this introduction.
After a long silence, Han Jin slowly said, "When did this happen?"
"Guevara just arrived in Isolated Cliff City not long ago."
"You both know?"
"Yes." Jeddes nodded. "Knight Guevara didn't tell you because he didn't want to cause trouble for you. Majordomo Gail didn't tell you because he didn't want you to misunderstand him. Since they can't tell you, I'm the only one who can."
"I understand." Han Jin said word by word. He really did understand. What Jeddes expressed was not only information, but also his position! Han Jin's think tank headed by Guevara had a transcendent position. They were now formulating a plan to attack the Holy Crown City. After occupying the Holy Crown City, their next opponent would be the elves. Jeddes' choice to reveal the past at this time was enough to prove that the think tank had reached an agreement on how to fight back against the elves.
