�Where the hell is Duke Fredo?�

The Dark Elves might not be able to do anything if Duke Fredo was here.
But the Vampire who usually took a step back and didn�t do much was not visible once again.
The Marquis with the fan started to speak at that moment.

�Cale Henituse most likely split away from the Mercenary King�s group to use himself as bait and give them time to escape, right?�
�Yes, Marquis-nim.�

The old Dark Elf�s eyes were sparkling as he continued to speak.

�Based on the Elementals, they do not feel the Dragon nearby nor any other Elementals. I�m certain that he asked the Dragon to help the Elves and the mercenaries escape while Cale Henituse leads us away with just the swordsmen.�

The old man quickly continued.

�I also saw some faint traces of people moving in the opposite direction as Cale Henituse. I�m sure the mercenaries hid those tracks as they escaped.�

The black knight started to speak as if to argue against him.

�Isn�t it weird that such tracks were still visible in such a snowstorm?�

The snow should have covered the tracks, but for some odd reason, tracks were left everywhere they believed Bud escaped.

�I�m certain the enemies left the tracks to cause confusion within our ranks. I�m sure the Mercenary King didn�t escape in the direction of the tracks we found. I�m sure they went somewhere el-�
�Count. That�s not important.�

The knight stopped talking after hearing the Marquis�s response.

Smile.

The corners of the old man�s lips went up as he watched.

�That�s right. Marquis-nim. That is not important. The mercenaries are not our goal.�
�That�s right. Our goal is Cale Henituse. Isn�t that right, Count?�

The black knight sighed before nodding her head to agree with the Marquis.

�Yes, sir. Our goal is Cale Henituse.�
�Absolutely.�

Flap flap.

The Marquis flapped his fan even in the snow storm as he continued to speak.

�Cale Henituse is luring us without the Dragon nor Elementals by his side. He only has swordsmen with him.�
