Chapter 351: 349 Late Night Secret Talk
Translator: 549690339
A group of leaders from various forces failed to come up with a feasible resolution, and in the end, it was Mentor who decided on the method and date of the expedition.
They had wasted quite some time in the Dragon Bone Wasteland. Now, under the nominal guidance of Catalan, they would launch an all-out attack on the surrounding undead.
Since the request came from Mentor, the representatives of the surrounding forces, who had been arguing fiercely, remained silent and accepted everything.
After all, the main force of the attack consisted of the Elves and the Western Empire, with their best troops. The rest were merely there to join the fun.
The meeting ended in confusion. Angelina wanted to ask Lady Bauhinia something, but the latter simply ignored her.
However, Black Rose gave Angelina a thought-provoking look and discreetly made a gesture. But the slow-witted Rolf didn’t notice it.
Rolf stared angrily at the back of Lady Bauhinia and said resentfully, “That bitch must have forgotten who saved them from the dark dungeon!”
Angelina just laughed, then said indifferently, “It’s not worth arguing with a dead person!”
Rolf was not very clever. He frowned and thought for a long time, but still didn’t understand what Angelina meant.
Half a day later, he tried to ask, “You mean, their war against the undead will fail?”
Although it was a coalition of several forces, only the Western Empire and the Elves were formidable fighters, while the rest were only there for the spectacle.
On the other hand, the undead and the Purgatory Demon Dragon had recently absorbed many new members. Many evil beings admired the Purgatory Demon Dragon as an idol, joining from far and wide.
The reason was simple: the Purgatory Demon Dragon had killed the legendary Golden Dragon, Shimmering Goldfire, with its own hands.
This Golden Dragon was not only a partner of justice but also a mortal enemy of many evil creatures on the continent.
More importantly, Angelina had not yet found a stronger presence than Shimmering Goldfire within this coalition.
Could the coalition and the number of their forces alone really defeat the Purgatory Demon Dragon and the undead army?
Angelina had doubts about this and felt that the outcome of who would live and who would fall was uncertain.
More importantly, she was still here, and she was responsible for transporting the supplies the coalition needed. It took her and Vide’s constant help to keep these people alive in the Dragon Bone Wasteland.
If she did nothing, the outcome would be uncertain. But if she suddenly cut off logistics support during the fierce battle between the coalition and the undead army…
The result would be clear.
Moreover, there were other forces hidden within this coalition of multiple races, not just her side.
When the night faded and Otto and his companions flew away to Har City, Angelina did not rest in her tent. Instead, she and Rolf waited in a quiet, secluded corner.
After an unknown period, when Rolf was feeling a little impatient, the silent surroundings underwent some subtle changes.
Soon, a slender figure emerged from the shadows.
Angelina stared at her and then smiled. The familiar face in front of her was none other than Black Rose.
Only then did Rolf remember that Black Rose, usually very aloof, was actually on their side.
“It seems I didn’t misunderstand your meaning.”
Angelina looked at Black Rose with a smile, while the latter’s expression was quite complex.
Truth be told, what she was doing now was not in accordance with her true intentions but was constrained by Otto’s Blood Covenant.
It was precisely because of this that Otto had Angelina painstakingly rescue Black Rose and Lady Bauhinia from the dark dungeon.
“Since you won’t speak up, let me ask the questions first.”
Black Rose remained silent for the time being, and Angelina went ahead and asked, “First, I want to know the relationship between Lady Bauhinia and Mentor?”
“Lady Bauhinia is Mentor’s secret lover. The Bauhinia family’s rise from an obscure, declining family to its current status is almost entirely due to Mentor’s support.”
Although reluctant, Black Rose answered Angelina’s question honestly.
Angelina continued to ask, “What is Mentor’s position in the Western Empire?”
“Very high! Aside from the current emperor of the Western Empire and some long-lived elders who never leave their homes, Mentor’s authority is second only to the Duke of Silver Moon. No one else in the empire can compete with him!”
Hearing this, Angelina nodded with satisfaction.
Although she was now the revered queen of Vide, she still wasn’t very familiar with many aspects of the outside world.
As mentioned before, in the eyes of many traditional powers, she was merely an upstart.
In a short time, Angelina had gained much valuable information. She was confident that once it was passed to the great Silver Dragon Lord through the appropriate channels, she would receive immense rewards.
But the information she knew so far seemed insufficient. A bit greedy, Angelina continued to inquire, “How did Mentor persuade the Elves, who have not left Dawn Forest for thousands of years, to mobilize so many troops?”
Hearing this, Black Rose hesitated for a moment, but finally said, “For justice…”
“What did you say?”
Angelina frowned, as if she had heard something incredibly surprising and unbelievable.
Black Rose replied with a bitter smile, “You may find it hard to believe, but that’s the truth. The current Elf King is near the end of his life and is full of foolishness. Mentor just went to their door and told the story of the kind dragons and heroes’ encounters in the Dragon Bone Wasteland. The Elf King immediately dispatched his nephew Catalan to lead the Elf army out of Dawn Forest.”
“However, I have a piece of gossip with questionable credibility. Do you want to know?”
“Tell me!”
Angelina answered without hesitation.
Black Rose nodded and continued, “I heard that aside from the so-called justice, the reason the elves chose to leave Dawn Forest this time was to investigate something!”
