After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

To be on the safe side, communication with the orcs relies entirely on Rufus's familiar.

Now that she is gone, the communication between him and the orcs has been cut off.

Not only will the plan fail to proceed, but the orc army, having lost contact with him, may also start acting recklessly without considering the consequences, which would then cause serious problems.

We must rescue her quickly.

Just as he was worrying about it, there was a knock on the study door. Brian frowned unhappily.

"who is it!?"

The door opened, and two guards escorted another dusty-looking man in.

Brian looked closely and found that it was one of the guards he sent out last night.

Unlike the few soldiers kneeling on the ground, he was also a subordinate that Brain trusted more, and he should have been by Rufus's side protecting her last night.

Definitely know what happened.

I was suddenly surprised and happy.

"Come here! Drag these bastards out and lock them up in the dungeon to await their fate."

"Yes!"

Inside the room, the guards in the corridor rushed forward and dragged out several fleeing soldiers.

Only the guard was left.

The guard was about to step forward in a panic when Brian called out to him:

"Don't move! Just stand there and answer!"

The failure of Rufus's operation means that Alicia will either die or betray him.

If it was the latter, then she was very likely to hide among the deserters and come to assassinate him.

We must not give her this opportunity to turn the tables.

The guard was stunned for a moment, then nodded obediently and stood by the door without taking another step forward.

Brian took a breath to calm himself down, then asked:

"What on earth happened last night? Why were you beaten like this?!"

The guard's face was full of helplessness:

"There's nothing we can do! We had already made our plans, but then a brave warrior showed up mid-air and beat us to a pulp!"

Brian frowned.

"Brave? Which brave?"

"The one with black hair, seems to be called...Uriel?"

"Tsk, it's her..."

Blaine dropped his eyes and began to bite his nails.

Uriel Rainford, recognized as the strongest hero, and has a special relationship with Aize.

She was not in the plan this time. Although she accidentally entered the scene when Heidi was framed, she seemed to have been deceived from the situation at the time, so Brian didn't care much.

Unexpectedly, this guy discovered the problem himself and even found Aize and reunited with him.

What a hassle.

Brian shook his head in disdain.

"Even so, can she kill all hundreds of you by herself?!"

Speaking of this, Jinwei looked aggrieved again:

"If it was just Uriel, we could still handle it. But who would have thought that they also had a very powerful magician who blew us apart in just a few moves!"

"Is there really a powerful magician?"

When the guard said that just now, Brian was skeptical. After all, these guys would say anything to survive, and they were not worthy of trust at all.

However, his guards would not lie to him.

"...The witch next to the brave Aize? Who is she?"

Rufus did say that there was a witch on Aize's side, and he took measures to deal with it.

I didn't expect that I could fight against an entire army alone?

The guard said cautiously:

"Master Brian, I've never seen such terrifying magical power. Could it be... could it be the legendary great witch Villian?"

"Did your fucking brain get blown out!?"

Brian, who was so angry that he laughed, slammed the table and stood up.

"Virlian, she's one of the thirteen leaders, and she was just beaten and killed by Aize in the Anlin Plains. How could she possibly help Aize!?"

After rejecting this theory, Brian considered a more dangerous possibility.

"A powerful magician, and with Uriel here... Tsk, could it be that not only her, but the entire Silver Star team is here!?"

The combat effectiveness of the brave teams is not weak, but they still have their own focus.

As the latest brave team to arrive, Silver Star focuses on the most extreme destruction and combat power.

It goes without saying that Uriel, the captain, is a very powerful magician in their team.

When you think about it this way, everything makes sense.

Aize is not alone, and the people around him are definitely not witches, but a whole team of brave men.

This is a big trouble.

If the entire Silver Star Team is here, it means that the church has most likely noticed their actions. If they don't get things done, there will be a big mess.

Brian shook his head and asked again:

"Besides that, where's Rufus!? Aren't you with her? Have you seen her?!"

When asked this question, Konoe showed fear on his face, then nodded:

"Look...I saw it."

"How is she now? Is she still alive?!"

"Still alive, but...captured by the Brave Aize!"

"what happened!?"

"Master Brian, actually...actually, I didn't escape directly. I was captured by the Eternal Hero Aize... and imprisoned in that half-blood village."

"While I was imprisoned, I heard Rufus's voice from the next room. It seemed... uh, like he was being tortured?"

Brian quickly asked:

"Torture!? Did she confess?!"

Konoe thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"I'm not sure... but, probably not yet. If she confessed, why did you keep beating her?"

Hearing this, the Duke breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that my butler is quite loyal.

But he was being tortured after all. As long as the time was long enough, even the hardest mouth would be pried open sooner or later.

There is also a whole team of brave men who must be eliminated quickly, otherwise it will cause a disaster.

Thinking of this, Brian made up his mind and stood up from his seat:

"Pass on my orders! All troops stationed outside the city immediately begin to move. Completely surround the village from all sides and rescue our people! Anyone who resists, whether brave or otherwise, will be killed!"

"Yes!"

The guards in the room echoed without question.

Brian sneered and sat back in his seat.

Brave man? Just a stinky outsider.

Dare to go against me? Then wait to be trampled into pieces by the iron hooves of my own army!

Chapter 133 Disaster

"Well... it's done."

Aize opened his eyes, and his consciousness and five senses instantly flew back to the nameless mountain village from the distant Tafia.

At this moment, he was lying on Villian's thighs, just like when he controlled the puppet remotely before.

That’s right, the guard just now was not a real person at all, but a puppet made by Villian.

The guard himself had been lured into the dark forest during the previous battle, where he was suddenly attacked by Uriel and had his head chopped off with a single blow.

With the remaining head, Villian successfully created a puppet that was exactly the same as the original.

Since I have died, my personality issues cannot be restored.

He could only directly access Aize's consciousness and pretend to be frightened and distracted.

Fortunately, the anxious Brian did not notice the flaw.

Anyway, after finishing fishing, Aize sat up.

He yawned loudly after not sleeping all night.

Villian asked:

"Tired?"

"No, that's just the beginning... Anyway, Brian has taken the bait, and they'll be coming soon. Ha, this clever yet not entirely clever fellow is the easiest to fool."

Everything is calculated.

He used a puppet disguised as a fleeing guard to approach Brain, and even deliberately told him almost exactly what happened last night, just to use Uriel's presence to make him mistakenly believe that the entire Silver Star team had arrived.

The original plan would have required a few more words of explanation, but he figured it out himself, which really saved him a lot of trouble.

In short, Brian, who believed this statement, felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, just as Aize had expected.

He even sent out all his troops stationed in Tafia at once.

Nearly 20,000 regular elite troops are going to be a bit of an overreaction against a few brave warriors and a village.

But the terrain of the village is such that if there are not enough people, it is easy to scare the target and cause it to disappear into the long central mountain range and never be found again.

This was absolutely intolerable for Brian, who was eager to grab a position.

Therefore, he will definitely go all in.

Villian is not as relaxed as Aize:

"Even if we were tricked, that's an elite army of nearly 2 people. If we're not careful..."

"Don't worry, it's all planned out."

Aize rubbed his eyes:

"Speaking of which, where is Alicia? She needs to know what's going on with Brian, and the people in the village need to know too."

"I haven't seen her since daybreak. She should still be at home."

Just as Villian said, the pink-haired girl was now in front of her house.

Almost all the children in the village gathered there, even Sean's younger brothers and sisters were among them. It was packed and very lively.

"Sister, last night, your hands turned into blades, didn't they? So cool! What was that? Can you show me again?"

"Also, those bat-like wings, I've seen them in picture books. They belong to dragons, right? Can you completely transform into a dragon? Can you take us flying with you?"

"After seeing all these, is there anything else good? Sister's ability should be more than just this——"

There are endless requests like this.
