"Even if he's confused, do you think he'll say it out loud? Don't you know him well after spending so much time with him? "Han Jin chuckled." That guy will never allow anyone to insult his intelligence! Even if he doesn't understand, he'll pretend to understand. "
"That's right …" Sassoux also laughed. Then, his gaze fell on Léger. "Oh right, you're Léger, right?" There was one thing that everyone had repeatedly talked about. The lack of a qualified thief in the team had caused inconveniences in many aspects. Léger's appearance fulfilled their wishes. Sassoux was well aware of the reason why Han Jin used magic to 'seduce' Léger.
"Yes, hello." Léger smiled.
"My name is Sassoux. From now on, we're friends. Please take care of me."
Léger was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled. "If you don't mind that I'm a burden, I'll do my best."
Sassoux turned to Han Jin. He even glanced at Léger from the corner of his eyes. What he meant was, do you think this person is suitable? Sunier had previously been worried about not being able to rope in people casually. So far, this small team was still very united. Although everyone kept some secrets, they could still trust each other. If they attracted a stinky fish, then the result would be a fishy pot of soup!
Han Jin thought for a moment and slowly nodded. Léger's old servant was able to face death with such a resolute attitude. This proved that Léger and his father were both extraordinary. Loyalty was very flexible. There weren't many people who were foolishly loyal. Take himself and Stillberg as an example. If he beat and scolded Stillberg every day, he would do the things he enjoyed and let Stillberg suffer. It was fine for a short period of time, but in the long run, would Stillberg be able to endure such an inhumane life? Any relationship in this world is two-way!
Sassoux trusted Han Jin's judgment and changed the topic. "Raphael, what do you think we should do in the future? The Beitman is going to be in a mess soon. Sigh … what kind of world is this? I can't even find a quiet place to stay! "
"We don't have the ability to change anything. We can only take one step at a time and go with the flow," Han Jin said slowly.
"Beitman? What's wrong with the Beitman? "Léger was shocked.
"Zagunéd's Vampire Guard and Dark Elves have broken into the Beitman."
"How could this be …" Léger wanted to get up and ask, but he pulled at his wound and groaned in pain.
"Calm down. We're not the only ones who can't do anything about this. You're the same." Han Jin bitterly smiled. "Let's ask Sunier tomorrow morning."
"I can't do anything about it either." Sunier's voice sounded. "The Vampire Guard is similar to the Silver Pegasus Army. They're both known for their speed and flexibility. The Beitman's army has no way of dealing with the Vampire Guard who's avoiding a decisive battle."
"What if you were the commander of the Beitman? What would you do? "Han Jin asked.
"I …" Sunier paused. "Did you notice? The Vampire Guard uses tactics of breaking up the whole into small groups. That's why we met those ten or so vampires. If I were in command, I'd spend a lot of money to hire a large group of mercenaries. They'd split up and fight to the death. The regular army would be in charge of supporting them from the side. When the Vampire Guard feels that they've sacrificed too much, they'd withdraw themselves. But … with the Vampire Guard's style, the Beitman's losses won't be small. At least a few hundred small villages will be turned into ruins, or even more. "
"Is there no other way besides this?"
"You can ask the dragons for help." Sunier's expression was very complicated. There was mockery and hatred in her eyes. She was probably thinking about the battle that caused the Silver Pegasus Army to collapse. "But … the dragons are very interested in watching the races of the continent kill each other. I'm guessing that they won't care about the Beitman's life or death, even though they also hate those creatures of darkness."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Han Jin said softly. "Let's all go to bed early. We still have a long journey tomorrow." They couldn't talk about this topic anymore. Léger's emotions seemed to be getting more and more agitated. He was obviously very concerned about the Beitman's safety. If they continued to talk about this, the idea of recruiting Léger might fail.

The night passed silently. The next morning, Morrisons yawned and slowly opened his eyes. When he saw the scene around him, he couldn't help but jump in fright.
Everyone had already woken up. Everyone's eyes were focused on him. Their gazes were very strange.
Morrisons only just realized that half of Sylvia's body was on top of him. His hands were wrapped around Sylvia's waist. Morrisons was so embarrassed that he immediately pushed Sylvia away.
However, Morrisons's strength was a little too strong. Sylvia's body flew more than a meter into the air. With a thud, she fell to the ground in an extremely unsightly position.
Even the most sound asleep person would be startled awake by this kind of attack. Sylvia suddenly opened her eyes. However, she still didn't move. She probably still didn't understand the situation.
The next moment, Sylvia felt a sweet taste in her mouth. Waves of pain came from her lips. She had bitten her own lip during the collision. Sylvia jumped up and roared, "Who? Who the f * ck dares to throw me?! "
About half of the people reached out their hands and pointed at Morrisons. Sylvia took a step forward and grabbed Morrisons's ear. She roared, "Do you want to die?!"
Morrisons pulled a long face. He was a reasonable person. If Sylvia had grabbed his ear for no reason, he definitely wouldn't have tolerated Sylvia's temper. However, he was in the wrong. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to. He wanted to admit defeat and say a few nice words. However, how could a man admit defeat to a woman in front of so many people?
"Ahem …" Han Jin coughed dryly. "I think we should buy some tents. Otherwise, it'll be too inconvenient at night."
"Yeah, yeah." Sassoux nodded in agreement.
"Sylvia, don't blame Morrisons. I think he just had a nightmare. He was kicking and hitting like a madman. You just happened to be lying on top of him, so he threw you out," Sunier said gently. However, her voice was filled with laughter.
"Yeah … Sis, I didn't do it on purpose." Morrisons smiled apologetically.
"You're useless! How old are you? You're still afraid of nightmares?! "Sylvia's face was filled with resentment.
Han Jin and Sassoux were speechless. Actually, Sunier's main point wasn't the nightmare, but that she was lying on top of Morrisons. However, Sylvia didn't realize it at all. Perhaps … she thought it was normal? Gossips! It was said that Sylvia's father had passed away a long time ago. After that, the two of them relied on each other. There must have been a lot of stories that happened.
Sylvia let go of Morrisons's ear. Then, she realized something was wrong. The leather armor in front of her chest was wet. When she fell on the ground, it was covered in mud. "Damn it. Why is it so wet here? The dew from yesterday was so heavy! "
This time, everyone couldn't hold it in anymore. Everyone burst into laughter. Actually, camping in the wild wasn't a good thing at all. Because of the improper posture, it was understandable that one would drool while sleeping. The problem was that it shouldn't be displayed so openly.
Morrisons sighed and turned over to sleep on the ground again. He could only use the ostrich tactic. Could he not get up?
"What are you guys laughing at?" Sylvia stomped her foot and said angrily.
"Alright, alright." Han Jin quickly came out to smooth things over. "Michel, it should be enough, right?"
"Yes, it's done. I also brought some bread. Let's make do with it," Michel replied with a smile.
Hearing that it was time to eat, Morrisons got up reluctantly. As a melee professional, he couldn't go against his own stomach. Otherwise, his combat ability would be greatly reduced.
Michel didn't prepare a lot of food. However, in this winter, Han Jin's power had greatly increased. His total energy was close to 100 units. He no longer relied on food to replenish his energy. Without such an unfathomable consumer, the food was enough to fill everyone's stomachs. Michel's workload also became lighter.
"Reg, you are from Beitman, so you should be very familiar with this place. Where do you think we should go at this time?" Han Jin asked suddenly while eating the bread. "Reg, you are from Beitman and should be familiar with this place.
Little Joseph was feeding Léger. Hearing Han Jin's question, he withdrew his hand and stepped aside. Léger hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth. Then, he pondered for a moment. "Let's go to Ninth Town."
"Is it safe there?"
"Ninth Town is in the rear of the capital. It should be safe there. I have a friend there who will take care of us."
"With your identity … aren't you afraid of getting him into trouble?" Han Jin asked in a low voice.
Léger's expression changed. Then, he sighed. "Then we'd better go to the capital. Although Beit City is called the City of Treachery and has been laughed at by people for a long time, its defense is still very strong. The Vampire Guard can't take it down."
"In fact, what we need is a quiet place. Beit City is too big. It's inconvenient." Han Jin smiled. "As long as we don't contact your friend in public, it should be fine."
"You mean … to go to Ninth Town?" Lei Zhe asked.
"Yes."
Léger was a bit confused. Since they had decided to go to Ninth Town, why did they say so much?
"Pack up. We'll set off right away." Han Jin said in a low voice. He always believed that if you wanted to see through a person, you couldn't wait until the moment of life and death. That would be too late! In fact, it was possible to understand a person's integrity from a small point of view. If Léger had explained how capable and loyal his friend was, he would have thought that Léger was untrustworthy. However, Léger immediately changed his mind and didn't want to get his friend into trouble. This was enough to prove Léger's character.
