Chapter 472 The duke’s visit (13)

In the end, the ones that guided us were Moon's group.

The green haired elder had wanted to send a few of her trusted people to guide us out, but Moon stopped her from doing that.

Moon knew what was happening as well, but she didn't want to get them involved.

So she volunteered for this position...though she would have had to come with us in the first place since she was going back to the town.

But the ones that had come back didn't need to. They were free to choose if they wanted to come and go because that was just how our arrangement was.

They stayed with Moon in the end, showing how loyal they were to her.

As we left the village, the green haired elder looked at us with a worried look.

She went over to Moon and patted the back of her hand as she said, "Be careful."

Moon didn't say anything and just gave a simple nod before leading the way.

Once we were out of earshot, I got out of the carriage and went to her side. As I walked there beside her, I asked, "Do you feel any regret? If you do, you don't have to do this."

Moon looked at me and shook her head before saying, "It's our fault for getting you involved in this matter."

There was a tinge of bitterness that filled me when I heard this.

After all, the truth of the matter was that it was my fault in the first place.nOVE)lB/In

After all, I was the one that had gotten rid of Apollo and his men.

Shaka who was with Cecilia's people also knew this, but he had a poker face the entire time, so no one had been able to find out anything.

Seeing the way that I looked at her, Moon looked back at me and said, "I'm fine. They have chosen their path just as we have chosen ours. If that puts us on opposite sides, then there's nothing that we can do."

They bent closer together and started whispering, as if they were discussing something.

From time to time, they would raise their voice, but there wasn't much that we could pick up from this. At the same time, the elves that Moon was questioning shook their heads from time to time as if they were denying what she was asking them.

By the end, Moon suddenly said in a louder voice, "So you're telling me that it's all blocked off?"

The two elves looked at each other before slowly nodding.

At this, I came forward and asked, "What's wrong?"

Moon looked at me, but she didn't answer right away.

After taking a deep breath and giving a sigh, she said, "The place that we're currently in is surrounded by two cliffs on both sides. There's a small passage that we could have taken to get out of this place just ahead of us, but the goblins have already blocked that up. Even if we want to go there now, there are just too many goblins."

Cecilia knitted her brows as she said, "Then why don't we just go back the way that we came?"

Moon shook her head before gesturing to the carriage, "That's too slow, it'll never make it in time. We'll be surrounded by goblins before we can get out of the way."

All of us fell silent when we heard this.

Though we were silent, there were looks of deep thought that were on our faces.

Even though this seemed like a bad situation, that didn't mean that we had given up.

Cecilia took a deep breath and said, "What are the cliffs like? How tall are they? Can we climb them?"

Moon was surprised to hear this, but then she waved at the two elves that had gone out scouting.

They came over and answered all of the questions that Cecilia had.

After that, she fell into a period of deep thought as if she was processing all of this.

When she was done, Cecilia looked up at us and said, "We'll fight them off in this place. As long as we trap them in this valley, we should be able to take them down easily."
