"Erz, you didn't get any food?"
"Gondor!
The Urjin tribe isn't willing to give us their food!
Their leader refuses to follow orders! "
They were at a place near a river in the Azura Forest. The terrain was mostly made up of rocks, and there were manmade caves on the sides of the hills.
Speaking of which, this was the base camp of the Gondor tribe.
The leader, Doc Gondor, was wearing a coat sewn together from different kinds of animal skins. He also had a slanted steel helmet on his head. The helmet was obviously the standard helmet of Oditore's city guards. Aside from being short, the Cave Troll's head was two or three times bigger than the average human. The helmet couldn't fit into his head at all. It was stuck crookedly to the top of his head. It looked indescribably ridiculous.
The leader was half a head taller than Erz, but his body was a third wider!
Both of his arms were full of scars, and his bulging muscles were exposed to the air as if they were about to explode. He carried a two-handed hammer on his back. The head of the hammer had a terrifying spike, and the blood on it had dried up, giving off a strong fishy smell.
"It doesn't matter if the Azura Forest loses or gains a tribe. Erz, do you understand?"
Doc's voice was thick and powerful, but it sounded muffled. His slightly hoarse voice had a lingering sense of cold-bloodedness and cruelty.
"Yes!
Gondor! "
Erz received the order and left.

Many of them hurried back to their own hotels and went straight to Flora's room. They carefully checked the air inside the room to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary. Then, they knocked on the door and pushed it open.
He had something he needed to tell Flora immediately.
Inside the room, Flora was looking out the window curiously. Her Royal Highness was leaning against the windowsill, and her legs were kneeling on the bed. She was looking outside with her butt in the air, and her head was sticking out the window.
Hearing the sound of many doors opening, Flora suddenly turned around like a thief who was caught. She slammed her head into the window frame with a "Clang" sound!
"Ouch!"
Flora covered her forehead with her hand. It was an old wound left behind when Yuna knocked her to the ground. Although it wasn't a heavy hit, the pain was still enough to make Flora cry out in pain. It was as if the wound was being torn apart.
"It hurts!
It hurts! "
Her Royal Highness, who was dressed in gray clothes, twisted back and forth on the bed in pain. Her slender body seemed to have a different kind of allure.
"Pervert!
Don't you know how to knock before entering?!
It hurts so much!
Ouch … "Flora was in so much pain that she was about to cry. She couldn't bear the pain of such an unhealed wound. Her little feet were in the air, and she was moaning in pain. She didn't forget to scold him.
"Er … I did knock on the door, Your Highness. You just didn't hear me …"
There were many things he didn't want to explain, but when he saw Flora's pained expression, he had to.
"I'm so angry!
Are you a noble or not?
Ouch … "
Before she could finish, the hand that was covering her forehead was pulled away by Many. Many didn't have time to waste with Her Royal Highness. He forcefully pulled the princess' hand away and looked at the wound on her forehead.
Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal. It was just a sharp pain from hitting her old wound. The scar that was almost healed thanks to Athena's healing spell didn't split open.
Many let out a sigh of relief. Looking at the princess who was just inches away from him, he suddenly felt like she was a little kid. He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he suddenly blew on the wound and said, "It's okay. It won't hurt anymore if you blow on it."
After saying that, Many was shocked himself.
His gaze hesitated for a moment before moving from Flora's forehead to her pale face.
Flora was also shocked. Other than her father, no one had ever dared to stand so close to her … and even act so intimately!
The two were facing each other, less than ten centimeters away from each other. They could clearly feel each other's presence. Many was fine, but the princess was a little dizzy from Many's masculine presence!
Her face twisted unnaturally, but it made Many come back to his senses.
"Ahem …" Many coughed to cover his embarrassment and took two steps back. "Um, let's pack up. We should go."
"Okay …"
Flora lowered her head and answered. She was as obedient as a maid. She was a little lost from the sudden flirtatious scene.
However, the 'once' unruly princess quickly came back to her senses. When she followed Many to the door, she suddenly looked up and said, "Go …?
Where are we going? "
"Pajal Palace."
Many answered calmly.
After this battle, Many changed his mind. He needed to go to Sibor as soon as possible. There was no time to delay.
The undead's attack seemed to have been repelled, but who knew how many waves it was?
How many times would they attack again?
How many soldiers would they have in total?
Flora didn't like her brother, but Many didn't have the obligation to be a nanny for the princess.
The undead's terrifying attack made Many feel that he should immediately throw this' burden 'to the royal family to deal with.
"Pajal Palace … Pajal Palace?
I'm not going!
I'm not going! "
Flora stopped in her tracks and yelled at the back of the crowd.
Many turned around expressionlessly and looked at the princess. "It doesn't matter if you're willing or not. This is a war. You need to find a safe place to seek protection."
"No!
I feel very safe right now! "
Flora's eyes widened. She couldn't believe that she was being 'abandoned' just like that.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I have something to do. I can't protect you anymore."
Many said politely, but his next words were very different. "Not everyone is like your parents. They won't spoil you no matter where you go."
After saying that, he continued walking without looking back.
Flora heard a lot of things, but she froze on the spot as if she had been hit in the head.
"Don't put your hope in others!
Flora!
You have to rely on yourself! "
Her father's words suddenly echoed clearly in her mind. Flora stared blankly at the backs of the people who were moving forward. She suddenly understood something.
She clenched her teeth and looked back at the bedroom she slept in. She suddenly started jogging and kept up with Many's footsteps.
The clothes made of rough cloth were not comfortable to wear, but the princess no longer cared about these feelings that used to bother her.
Some pain had to be endured. No matter how much you tried to escape, it was useless.
Perhaps there were people who shielded you from the wind and rain, but one day, you would have to face this cruel world alone.
Flora raised her head. She no longer had that arrogant and superior look on her face. Her eyes looked forward as a strong sense of confidence rose in her heart. It was a kind of confidence that was filled with the desire to challenge everything and the confidence that she could succeed.
Although she had just stepped into this dangerous whirlpool, this confidence was the strongest support for her to walk towards glory and glory.
