Chapter 212: Gerald’s Determination.
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.
In fact, he did not guess wrong. Mike was indeed mocking him.
Timus could not help but curl his lips and ask, “Is it really not the best time to attack? Or is there something strange in this stone giant tribe?”
“There’s nothing strange. Now is indeed the best time to attack.” Mike still had his eyes closed. Not only that, he even changed his position comfortably and placed his left leg on his right leg.
“AH? ! It’s not weird? Then why did you stop me?” Timus felt a little dissatisfied and could not help but ask.
However, he noticed that the smile on Mike’s face mocked him even more. This made Timus feel uncomfortable all over.
“What are you laughing at?” He could not help but ask.
Mike raised his eyelids slightly and looked around. After making sure that there were no centaurs around, Mike asked in return, “Do you really think that Gerald can’t see that this is a good time to attack?”
When Timus heard this question, he was slightly stunned.
Indeed, now was the best time to attack. Not only Timus could see it, but almost all the centaurs could also see it.
In that case, how could Gerald not see It?
“You mean, Gerald knew that this was a good opportunity to attack, but he deliberately chose to give up this opportunity to attack?!” Timus was completely dumbfounded.
Wasn’t this self-contradictory?
This time, Mike finally stopped laughing.
He looked at Timus with a look of disdain.
“You, oh you, I don’t even know what to say to you. If you can’t even understand such a small thing, how can you learn from me in the future?” Mike took the opportunity to take advantage of his seniority.
This time, Timus had completely learned his lesson.
On one hand, it was so that he could learn Mike’s skills in the future.
On the other hand, it was because he really could not understand for the life of him why Gerald would do this.
At the same time, he was also very curious about what Mike had seen.
“Teacher, why don’t you just tell me the answer? I really can’t understand it.” Timus was as obedient as an eight-year-old child, completely out of tune with his usually eccentric personality.
Mike smiled slightly, raised his hand, and shook it, “Gerald, come here.”
Not far away, Gerald heard Mike’s words, and his shoulder trembled slightly.
He turned around and glanced over. After he confirmed that Mike called him, he could only brace himself and walk over.
“Lord F * ck, you’re looking for me?”
After coming to Mike’s side, Gerald respectfully lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
Mike looked at Gerald and asked with a smile,
“Gerald, tell me the truth. When can you make up your mind?”
Timus was beyond confused. As for Gerald, his face turned a little ugly.
That is right. The reason why he did not give the order to attack was because he was not mentally prepared.
Being a bad person was not something that could be done, especially for a good person.
For him, it took a lot of courage for him to take the initiative to do bad things.
Mike looked at Gerald’s expression and sneered, “How embarrassing. You keep saying that you’re going to plunder and bully others, but in the end, you don’t even have the courage to give the order to attack?
“Do you think you can be a bad person with that?”
Hearing Mike’s mockery, Gerald’s face turned red and his shoulders trembled slightly.
A moment later, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he turned around and shouted, “All centaurs, assemble and prepare to attack!”
