Sir, let Orsi go over there and explain, shall we all go with you? "Ozgucci is taking the initiative to ask for help. Even though An Fei is a person who never expresses his emotions, everyone can see the weight of Susanna in An Fei's heart. If something like this happens, An Fei will definitely go to Susanna.

An Fei's expression changed. His face was full of anxiety just now, but now he became extremely quiet. The contrast between the anxiety and the silence was so great that it even made people feel nervous.

"There is a saying that a child is better than his father. In fact, the truth is the same. Susanna is my wife, and no one knows her better than me." An Fei said lightly.

"Sir, you..." Ozguch and others, including the second monk, were confused and looked at each other, and the druids didn't understand what An Fei meant.

An Fei slowly clenched his fists and then slowly unclenched them. This was his attempt to relieve the tension in his heart. Yes, no one knew Susanna better than him. Susanna was just a little woman. Her autonomy was very poor. In this way, Darius obviously didn't like having people around him who were good at independent thinking. He just wanted to blindly follow her, so he didn't do any relevant training for Susanna. In other words, Susanna cannot be a world-famous heroine. A hero must be generous, smart, perseverant, ambitious, and far-sighted. Alice is a qualified woman, and so is the Sejialan whom she has never met. Maybe, compared to them, Susanna is a completely different person. Susanna's energy is very limited, and being able to take good care of her relatives is all she wants.

It is possible that when the road is rough and someone pulls out a knife to help, it may happen, but no matter what kind of secrets there are, Susanna will not abandon those who need her protection. For the sake of the overall situation and going deep into dangerous situations, An Fei might be able to do it. But Susanna couldn't do it. Anfei knew very well what kind of choice Susanna would make when encountering such a thing. That was to rush back as quickly as possible and tell Anfei everything in detail, and wait for him to make a decision. Decide.

"Tell me. Where is Susanna now?" An Fei's tone became anxious again. Just now he was so agitated that he forgot how to hide himself and showed his true colors, but now he has calmed down. An Fei has reason to be sure that the so-called secret is a trap! Susanna's behavior was too weird, and the druid's death was too sudden. Something must have happened if something went wrong!

Even if that secret is enough to reverse the situation of the entire Undead War, Susanna will not fail to say hello. What to do alone. If Susanna was given a difficult problem, and Anfei and Sharil were on one side, and thousands of innocent people were on the other, and both sides were threatened with life, and she could only save one side, then Susanna would definitely choose the former. There will be no hesitation. Selflessness is a heroic quality and has nothing to do with Susanna.

As for the death of the druid, he might be worried that improper explanation would arouse his own suspicion. Simply cut off the clues, and unknowable secrets are more likely to arouse people's curiosity.

"In an unnamed valley near the Blackwater River, my lord, we remember the place." A druid replied.

"Without further delay, let's set off immediately." An Fei's urgency was in line with common sense. For those druids, they are obviously very satisfied with this attitude.

"Orsi, I'll leave this to you!" Özguch said anxiously.

"Okay." Orsi nodded.

"Sir. That place...that place is the territory of the Necromancer. If there are too many people...it will be easy for them to detect it." A druid said hesitantly.

"**, what do you mean?" Ozgucci couldn't help but cursed loudly.

"Ozguch, what they said makes sense." An Fei stopped Ozgqi: "Let's do this, Ye, you go pick a few people and follow me."

"Sir..." Ye's attitude was a little hesitant.

"Go." An Fei said in an unquestionable tone.

"Understood." Ye sighed. Under the current circumstances, it would be too risky to take only a few people deep into an area controlled by undead creatures, but Ye had no other choice.

"Do you still need a rest?" An Fei's eyes fell on the druids.

"No, sir, the situation is urgent, we'd better hurry up!"

"Okay, then you go ahead. I have something to explain here, and then I will catch up with you soon." An Fei nodded.

The druids looked at each other and said, "Okay, sir, we are waiting for you in front."

Seeing those druids walking away, Ozguki said bitterly: "Sir, let us go with you. I don't think those guys are good people!"

"You're right."

"Ah..." Ozguch looked at An Fei dumbfounded. He was just talking angrily, and he didn't expect to be recognized by An Fei.

"Where's Long Heling?" An Fei was in the crowd.

"They hid in the village." Ozguch turned around and shouted a few times. Long, who heard the shouts, ran out of the village in a hurry, looked at a few black spots in the distance for a moment, and then He breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, did you call me?"

"What kind of person is Manchusli?"

"Ah...Sir, how did you think of asking him?"

"We have limited time. Stop talking nonsense. Just answer whatever I ask."

"He...how should I put it? He is a very cruel person, otherwise we wouldn't call him 'The Reaper'. What he harvests is not crops, but human lives." Long could see that An Fei looked very anxious. , keep your words as brief as possible.

"I mean mentally."

"He is very cunning. Compared with him, Guardian Buzuliano is too honest and has suffered several losses at the hands of Manzhusli."

"Huh? Are there any conflicts... among you druids?" Ozguch asked in surprise.

"Why not?" Long showed a wry smile: "The three major human empires have been attacking each other all year round. Although we druids are not like this, we still have many conflicts. I know that once, Buzuliano was completely angered and led It led all the tribesmen to find trouble with Manchusili, and if it hadn't been for the intercession of the seer Mangshu, the druids would have been torn apart in the end."

"Because?" An Fei asked softly. He was very familiar with Buzureano. Although he didn't dare to say that he completely understood him, he at least understood Buzureano's temper. He was a loyal elder. If he didn't For intolerable reasons, Buzuliano would never lead his men to attack the druids of another line.

"I'm not sure." Long thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "It seems... Manzhusli sent people to secretly attack the central temple in charge of Buzuliano, but unfortunately they happened to run into Buzuliano. The secret attack failed, and Buzuliano captured several of them alive.”

An Fei pondered. Since it was Manzhusli's men who set up the trap, he must have something to do with Manzhusli. But he didn't understand that there was no irreconcilable conflict between him and Manzhusli. Why? Are you deliberately trying to deal with yourself? This has nothing to do with Manzhisli's character. First, there must be a purpose, and then there will be action. No one will do useless work, except for perverts.

"Then let's do it. Ye and I will take a few people to follow them. Long, you two follow us. Don't let them find out. Ozguch and Simpera, what's the problem with you following Long?" "?" An Fei issued his order. He had no time to think about it: "Orsi, send someone back to Moramachi Town and tell Alice that Susanna is in danger now. Just say it was me. Let her find Susanna for me no matter what, and bring Susanna back safe and sound!" He could sense the evil deeds of those druids, but if they used the same method to deceive Susanna, Susanna would be in danger! What made him nervous was not Druid's trap. Now that he had noticed it, the odds of winning were on his side. An Fei had this confidence. What made him nervous was Susanna's safety.

"Understood." Ozguch and others nodded in unison.

At this moment, Black Eleven, who was checking zombies in the distance, suddenly jumped up. He didn't know what was happening here. Every time after killing the undead creatures, he would check it carefully, trying to find out valuable information. , this was his only job, and after one disappointment after another, he finally saw something surprising.

"Ye, take the people to follow you first." An Fei said softly, and then turned his gaze in the direction of Black Eleven. This is also the difference between him and Susanna. If Susanna knew that he was in danger, she would come regardless Support, but he has to consider all aspects. He cannot ignore what can shock Black Eleven so much: "Black Eleven, what did you find?"

"He's one of ours!" Black Eleven looked up at An Fei, then drew out his long sword and flicked it a few times. An iron plate half the size of a palm flew several meters away and rolled to the ground.

"What is this?" An Fei also saw the iron sign.

"It's our token, but... shouldn't he wear it?" Black Eleven walked over with hesitation on his face, and happened to see the flipped-up back of the iron plate. There were a few words engraved crookedly on the iron plate. .

"Shadow Empire?" A sharp-eyed mercenary also saw those words and shouted.

Black Eleven frowned and thought hard. He judged that the spy wore the token on his body and engraved a few words on the back because he knew he could not escape and hoped to convey a message. The words "Shadow Empire" exuded an eerie aura, but he had no way of guessing what they meant.
