After Elaine's speech ended, he ignored the prisoners from various countries who were stunned and left their sight.

The dwarf king Aido walked up to Maglock:

"Boy, what's your name?"

"Maglok Tallin."

"Very well, Maglock of the Tyrin clan, I remember you and hope to see you again in the future."

It can be seen that Aido has a good impression of this tough guy.

After that, the camp gates were opened wide, allowing prisoners from all countries to move freely.

Almost all the captured coalition soldiers looked at Maglock, the only commander who could speak.

They are all waiting for him to make a decision.

"...Don't even look at me. This battle was a disastrous defeat. I am responsible for it. I have no shame in going back to see His Majesty... Gasol, take them back home."

Maglock entrusted everyone to his adjutant Gasol.

"This is not your fault, Lord Maglock. It was Saleh who was arrogant and did not listen to advice, which led to today's defeat. Go back, Your Majesty will not abandon us because of such a thing."

"...Stop talking, Gasol, even if His Majesty forgives me, I still can't go back...I still have unfinished business."

"Is it for...that Miss Ruby?" It seemed that Gasol had already seen that Maglock was interested in that girl.

"...So you know?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Maglock, I didn't mean it, I just heard it by chance..."

"It doesn't matter...it's just for Miss Ruby. We have an appointment. After this battle is over, I will help her get rid of Saleh and avenge her." At this point, Maglock has nothing to hide. of.

"..." Gasol saw that Maglock was determined to leave, and knew that he couldn't stop him on his own.

"Then... I wish you all the best and a safe return!"

Gasol finally paid a military salute to Maglock, and took the captives from various countries on his journey back home.

Maglock sent his men away and turned back to find Melissa.

Melissa happened to be explaining some matters to her subordinates at this time:

"...Anyway, that's it. After you go back, follow the leader of 'Netherworld Fire' first and tell him that I have something urgent and ask him to take care of me for a while. He owes me a favor and will agree."

"Yes, Commander." The mercenary replied.

"Captain Melissa, I have everything explained here." Maglock said.

"Okay, Lord Maglock...are you alone?" Melissa looked behind Maglock, but there was no one there.

"Well, that's enough."

Melissa brought a few good men from the mercenary group, and even if she failed for a while, she could still escape smoothly.

"Okay, we'll discuss the specific plan as we go."

In this way, the improvised assassination team of Saleh set off.

But without the horses, a few people could only enter the country on foot...

......

Bai Ye sat on the horse, listening to Wu Yue recount the adventures of the past few days.

Dream Eater...Moravia...Dwarves...Melissa...

"...I knew he must have had a plan in mind when he asked you to go east."

Most likely from the moment they first met, Elaine had already planned everything.

"By the way, Master, why was it that when I tried to contact you later, I couldn't get in touch at all?" Wu Yue asked.

"...I'm not too sure about this. I also tried to contact you, but I couldn't get in touch either. I'm afraid it has something to do with me being hit by Saleh's [Soul Contract]..."

"Soul contract?" Wuyue didn't know what it was, but she had heard Bai Ye mention it before.

"...It's a weird ability similar to that of Debit, Edmund, and Elsa. Once you fall into his contract, you will never be able to escape it unless he dies."

"Ah? Then Master, you have been tricked, isn't it..." Wuyue said worriedly.

"...My situation is a bit special. In short, it was the characteristics of this frame and Kage Tsu's precautions that saved me once."

I originally thought about asking the soulless Elaven to help...

Unexpectedly, the characteristics of the "Thousand Faces" module just restrained the [Soul Contract]...

Carandia didn't even tell her this?

...Forget it, she is the most unreliable one...

......

Going back in time a little bit...

"Damn it!" Saleh slammed his fist on the table, splitting the fragile table in half.

Why? Um?

In Saleh's view, this was just an ordinary slave rebellion. He had seen it many times since he came to this world. Why did he fail this time? Still being beaten and running away in embarrassment?

What is that army? Where did it come from? Why help a bunch of lowly slaves?

Grass!

And... what about the grandmaster guards that I worked so hard to collect? Why have everyone lost contact?

Although there is more than one contract lit up in his mind, there is only one remaining contractor who is still standing beside him.

This means that he only has one chance left, one chance to avoid death.

The damage transfer of [Soul Contract], or "death saving throw", is not without loopholes. The contractor must be by his side and within Saleh's sight in order to transfer the damage smoothly.

"Sir Saleh, this is just a small failure, why are you so angry?" Ryan said.

For Ryan, there is nothing to lose anyway.

...but drew a glare from Saleh.

At this time, Saleh could be said to have nothing. His property was either divided up when the city of Danjie was destroyed, or it was squandered when hiring mercenaries...

No, I still have the ability given by God, the ability that is enough to reverse the defeat!

Saleh thought so.

Maybe I should contact those people?

He unexpectedly came up with the idea of ​​contacting those guys from outside the world who had collaborated with him several times...

Why not just use your ability to recruit a few people?

They will definitely listen to me anyway, after all, it is a contract drawn up with their own abilities.

Even if the owner of the contract is not me, I can still force him to come over, but if I do this, I will completely break up with those people... The gain is not worth the loss...

After much thought, Saleh gave up the idea.

oh? By the way, there is also this...

So Saleh put on his signature smiling face again and asked Ryan:

"General Ryan, I have a deal, are you interested?"

......

Death Canyon, Sekiqian.

At first, it only took half a day to travel, but now it took less than two hours on horseback. Bai Ye and Wuyue arrived at the pass of Death Canyon.

This place is no different from when we left. The small settlement in front of the pass is still a mixed bag of people and lively.

"There are a lot fewer soldiers behind closed doors." Bai Ye looked into the distance and noticed something strange.

Didn't the Dorok Army escort Saleh into the country?

This is strange. If he flees north... Saleh's only hiding place is here. Where else can he go?

There was no point in guessing, so Bai Ye decided to find someone to ask.

The two entered the settlement on horseback and walked into the store where they had eaten.

"Miss, what would you like to order?" the boss asked, yawning.

Even at night, Sekizen is bustling with activity, and the shops here are basically open all day long.

"Are you hungry, Wuyue?" Bai Ye asked.

"Well, I'm a little hungry..."

The last time Wu Yue ate was probably this morning, the little dry food he got during the march...

"Then just do whatever you want, and be quick."

"Okay...just a moment." The boss prepared to enter the kitchen listlessly.

"Wait a minute, boss, I have a question for you." Bai Ye stopped him.

"What else?"

"Did anything special happen in front of the gate today?"

"...Yes, today the general took hundreds of people out of the city for who knows what, and didn't come back until nightfall."

"and then?"

"Then... not long ago, I took someone out of the pass and headed towards the canyon."

...Into Death Canyon?
