Chapter 204 - Let’s Go (1/2)

”Partridge?”

Heath was stunned at first, then he thought of something.

He asked in confusion, ”Winston?”

During this period of time, it could be said that he had a conflict with him, and he had the right to transfer him to the front line. After thinking about it, the only one who could do that was the huge Partridge family.

Cullen didn't continue to talk about it, but said apologetically, ”I don't mean to make things difficult for you, but... Ah, I hope you can understand.”

Heath nodded. ”I understand.”

After all, this was a world dominated by Wizards. Without any endorsement, a human general like Cullen had very little authority.

Cullen probably felt a little apologetic, so he thought for a while. He then helped to guess. ”Among all the outposts, the Valley of the Dead is relatively safe. I think that since they chose to let you go here, they should only mean to give you a beating. Maybe there is still room for change. You might as well try to communicate with them?”

Just as Cullen had guessed, Winston sent people to visit Heath's residence that evening. He directly said that if Heath did not want to go to the Valley of the Dead, they could change the mission at any time.

Of course, Heath insisted on the previous choice and refused again.

Surrender?

This was impossible. Not to mention the previous problem had not been solved. Moreover, if he did not promise that he would simply surrender after being beaten up by others, wouldn't that only make people look down on him?

However, he still had to give some response to this matter. Otherwise, people would think that he was easy to bully, and afterward, they would cause a lot of trouble.

But what should he do...

After thinking for a while, Heath finally came up with a solution, which was --

Treat others to a meal.

After sending away the people sent by Winston, he immediately asked Martha and the others to prepare a dinner party. He invited almost all the generals in the fortress who could speak, but only Winston was missed.

Everyone was also very respectful. Most of the people who received Heath's invitation came.

The dinner party was themed with a farewell act. Naturally, there were guests at the party who asked where Heath was going. At that time, he conveniently said that he was being transferred himself to the Valley of the Dead.

A military staff officer being sent to the frontline was strange no matter how one looked at it. As long as one paid attention to it, one could basically know the cause and effect of the matter.

Robert's management of the army enforced that the most taboo thing for one to do was to use their power for personal gain, especially this kind of insidious and backhanded thing.

This was also a method that could not be helped. One had to be hard in order to forge iron. If others really did not dare to provoke him, they still needed to have enough strength to hold the initiative in their own hands.

This matter also gave Heath a reminder.

During this period of time, he had really been a little high-profile. With only the strength of a Wizard, he was not worthy of his current reputation. It was best to keep a low profile.

The day after the banquet ended, Heath did not delay. He immediately boarded the carriage and headed to the Valley of the Dead...

...

Before Heath left, at Winston's mansion.

Winston's servant had just reported to Winston about Heath's banquet.

After listening to the servant's description, Winston's expression was very surprised.

He said in disbelief, ”You're saying... that this young Wizard rejected me once again and even held a banquet to publicize the matter of me roping him in?”

The servant said, ”Although he didn't say it explicitly, he did imply it.”

Winston's expression darkened.

He cursed in a low voice, ”Self-righteous thing!”

The servant asked, ”Then why don't we...”

Winston shook his head. ”There's no need to provoke Robert. Let's end this matter here.”

After a pause, he snorted lightly. He said disdainfully, ”He's just a muggle. He thinks so highly of himself just because he has a bit of talent and luck. Let him be this kind of shameless and self-righteous thing. He won't become a great man.”

”Partridge's flag doesn't contain trash!”

...

A few days later, in a forest in the northwest of the Bloody Wilderness.

Da da da...

The sound of horse hooves echoed in the dense forest, and a convoy slowly passed through it.

It was a convoy with a strange composition. There were more than twenty members, including humans, Elves, and Dwarves. They formed a convoy, escorting two carriages in the middle of the convoy.

On this trip to the Valley of the Dead, besides Heath, there was also the Elf Princess Irina whom they had met at the banquet that day.

This Elven Princess played the role of the spiritual leader of the Elves in the Bloody Battlefield. Whenever she had nothing to do, she would go around to comfort the warriors and cheer them on.

Recently, the Valley of the Dead was in a tight situation and the fortress could not provide much support, so they asked the Elven Princess to go there to calm the warriors down.

Since Heath was also going there, he naturally went along with them. At the same time, he wanted to reduce the security pressure on the Elven Princess. Recently, the fortress could not spare too many people to organize guards for the Elven Princess.

In the carriage, Heath was quietly reading a book.

Along with him were Martha and the other two. As Heath's Apprentices, they naturally followed him wherever he went.

At this time, Martha was building an ice summoning spell [Ice Elemental Guard] from a magic book, but it was obviously not the main point. She chanted the spell several times but could not release it.
