Who told him to rush up there?.

Chapter 22 Encountering a Dwarf
Later on the way, Wendy came to chat with Eli whenever she had time, which made Cecilia grit her teeth.

But this was during the march, and Wendy always brought up serious topics. Plus, she didn't seem very close to Eli, so Cecilia gritted her teeth and didn't get angry.

Time passed slowly during the conversation, and when the sun was high in the sky, the troops stopped to prepare for eating and rest.

While the soldiers were resting, Eli was still keeping an eye on the army's surroundings. As the demons temporarily retreated, no demon shadows were found nearby. However, in the distance, his soul sensed that a troop of a single race was heading towards them. If they rested for a while longer, they might encounter them.

Dwarves? I actually encountered them...

In his previous life, Eli seldom dealt with dwarves. Firstly, his war zone was far away from the dwarf kingdom, and there was not much communication between the two sides. Secondly, the dwarves' bad tempers were not well received by Eli, and he did not want to have much contact with them.

Now on the march, they were "followed" by an army composed entirely of dwarves, and Eli didn't know whether he should wait for them.

Although Eli in his previous life did not like dwarves, Eli in this life is different from his previous life. In his heart now, anyone who is willing to kill demons is a good comrade.

However, this dwarf army only has about three thousand people. Even if they are absorbed into the team, it won't be much of a reinforcement... Forget it, let's wait and see. The better the reinforcement, the better. Three thousand dwarves can always fight against one thousand eight hundred demons.

So, under Eli's order, the troops extended their rest time and waited for the dwarf troops to arrive and meet them.

After a long time, the dwarf scouts discovered the army resting in front. After sending someone to report to the headquarters, the dwarf army accelerated its advance.

Not long after, Eli's army and the dwarf troops officially met.

"Everyone from the elves, are you going to attack the demon city?"

As soon as they met, the leader of the dwarf army saluted Wendy and asked impatiently.

Because she wanted to talk to Eli, Wendy stood at the front of the team side by side with Eli during the breaks. In addition, the elves were now very powerful in the coalition, and the dwarf leader recognized at a glance that Wendy was the commander of this powerful army.

As for the human standing shoulder to shoulder with her... he was too young. He was probably some nobleman who wanted to get close to the beautiful elven commander.

"We are indeed preparing to attack the demons, but I am only the deputy general in the army. The main general is the city lord Eli. Dwarf brothers, it is better to communicate with the main general." Silently stepping back and leaving the front position to Eli alone, Wendy replied to the dwarf leader.

After Wendy finished speaking, the dwarf leader looked at Eli carefully. He did not feel sorry for recognizing the wrong commander. Instead, he became suspicious of Eli and his army.

Of course, with the strong elves by his side, Eli and his army could never be rebels against all races. But with such a young human as the main commander and two human beauties who were not even wearing military uniforms behind him, the dwarf Boru could not help but doubt the strength of Eli and his army.

Is the Lord of Eli really going to fight the demons, or is he using this opportunity to seduce the beautiful elven lady? Based on Boru's understanding of the human nobles, he thinks the latter is more likely. "Attacking the demons... We are also going to support the frontline battlefield, but probably by a different route. I won't bother you anymore, we'll go first."

After thinking carefully for a while, Bolu decided to lead his army away. His troops were not large, and he could not join a team of unknown strength to fight an uncertain battle. Anyway, reinforcements were needed everywhere on the front battlefield, so they were not afraid of not having demons to fight.

Hearing the dwarf leader say this, and then leading his troops forward through the crowd, Eli was stunned for half a second, then glared at the dwarf's back with some frustration.

Originally, he didn't particularly want bad-tempered dwarves. These guys had hot tempers and were often easily irritated. Even when they were fighting, one would not listen and the other would not submit. It could be said that when they were together, they were a pile of shit, and when they were apart, they were a sea of ​​​​shit.

But such a scumbag army actually looked down on him? What a waste! Go away, stay away, out of sight, out of mind.

As the dwarf troops walked away, Eli tried his best to remain calm and led the army back on the road. In order to avoid walking too fast and catching up with the short-legged troops in front, he deliberately slowed down the march.

Just as luck would have it, in the wilderness with many forks in the road, the dwarf troops ahead were actually heading straight towards Lieyang City, which made Eli, who was constantly scanning the surroundings with his soul, feel frustrated again.

I really don't want to fight alongside them, but the combat deployment has already been arranged. Should we temporarily change the target of attack because of them?
Forget it, when a real fight breaks out, we'll just mind our own business and not cooperate with them. Anyway, the high-level strongmen under his command and the army under his command are enough to wipe out the demon defenders of Lieyang City.

Facing a powerful enemy, no matter how evil the dwarf troops are, they can't possibly hinder him. They can always help clean up a few demons that have escaped.

Thinking of this, Eli ordered to speed up the march. There was no need to catch up with the dwarves. They just needed to arrive at the battlefield at about the same time as them. With the strength of the dwarf army of 3,000 people, it was impossible for them to go straight up and start attacking the city.

Later on the march, Wendy seemed to know that Eli was not in a good mood, so she did not come over to talk to him. She just followed Eli silently, almost in the same row as Jessica and Cecilia.

Jessica had no idea about this beautiful elf girl who was trying to get acquainted with her master. As for Cecilia, although she had a lot of ideas, this was not the time to care about them. She would wait until she was done defeating the demons before stopping her from having further contact with her master.

Humph, damned elf, after failing to get close to the master, he retreated to my side and even stood in the same position with me. He must be trying to get close to the master like me. In order to prevent the blood of the Bruno family from being tainted by foreigners, Cecilia will do her best! Half-elf? Don't even think about it!

After another half day of marching, when night fell, the soldiers needed to set up camp to spend the night.

Fortunately, there were elves in the team. They were extremely sensitive to the natural environment and quickly found a suitable location.

Just like in previous marches, Eli lived in an ordinary tent. Jessica and Cecilia stood guard outside his tent. As for Wendy, she and her companions found a tree hole and planned to spend the night there.

Late at night, when the exhausted soldiers were resting, the elf in the tree hole suddenly opened her eyes. She sensed that one of the personal guards who had been guarding outside the tent of Lord Ilai had disappeared...
