Walibel valley.

At the entrance of the valley, Mike and Timus laid on a big rock as they enjoyed the sunshine.

Gerald was pacing back and forth uneasily.

A slight sound of horse hooves was heard, and all the Centaurs’ eyes were focused on him.

“Gerald, I’m back!” The Centaur leaned out of the canyon entrance and said in a low voice.

From his sneaky look, one could tell how nervous he was.

“Great, you’re finally back… how’s the situation?” Gerald was obviously a little nervous.. He paused abruptly as he spoke, and then only asked about the serious matter.

“The situation is very good. The adult stone giants seem to have gone to work, and only some children are left there.”

After saying that, the centaur stared at Gerald and said nothing. Not only him, but all the centaurs waited for Gerald’s order.

However, Gerald hesitated for a moment and then said with a frown, “Just… Just wait a little longer. I don’t think the time is right yet.”

“Still waiting?” Timus, who lay on the stone, could not help but sit up and ask in surprise.

It was already the fourth day since they arrived here.

On the first day they arrived, Gerald had said that he wanted to plunder the stone giants’ tribe hidden in the valley of Walibel.

But in the past three days, he had always said that the time was not ripe and that they still had to wait.

Forget the previous few times, there were indeed adult stone giants who guarded the tribe.

But today was obviously a great opportunity. Why did Gerald still have to wait? Timus could not understand.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gerald choked and did not speak.

Mike, who lay next to Timus, did not even open his eyes. He reprimanded, “What does it have to do with you on how the Centaurs make their decisions? Shut up.”

As expected, Timus immediately shut his mouth when he heard this, but his face was full of grievance.

Gerald’s decision was already wrong, Timus felt that he was not wrong.

But what Mike said also had some truth.

What the Centaurs decided was their business, and it had nothing to do with Timus, an outsider.

Timus knew that Mike’s words were reasonable, and Mike was his teacher, so Timus could only choose to shut his mouth.

However, although Mike looked like he had been sunbathing with his eyes closed, he had actually been quietly observing Gerald.

At this time, all the centaurs had received Gerald’s orders and had given up on today’s plunder, and were busy with other things.

After all, it might be a long time before they could find an opportunity to attack.

They would have to eat and sleep during this time, so they had to be prepared.

When the Centaurs were almost gone, Mike said to the unhappy Timus in a very low voice, “Do you feel wronged?”

Timus heard Mike’s words, turned his head, and whispered, “Of course I feel wronged, Gerald doesn’t know how to command at all.

“I thought we could attack a few days ago, but he insisted on waiting.

“Forget it. I’ll just treat it as him being more cautious.

“But what’s going on today? He…”

Although Timus had lowered his voice, it was obvious that he was a little excited.

But he could not continue talking, because he saw the smile on Mike’s face.

Timus felt that the smile mocked him.
