Chapter 1052: Acting out a play
Once the giants that were around us ran, the other group of giants that were fighting Alidus’ group didn’t stay.
They knew that they wouldn’t be able to face all of us attacking them at the same time, so they didn’t dare stay here to be surrounded by all of us at once. They immediately pushed back Alidus’ group all at once before turning to run away.
Though before they ran, the leader of the group turned to look at Alidus with a strange look.
It was a complicated kind of look and at the same time, it was a look that seemed like he was unwilling to leave this matter be like this.
Still, there was nothing that could be done and they had no choice but to run.
Alidus raised his hand to stop the Harakka Tribe giants from chasing after their attackers.
After stopping them, he came over to me and asked, “Is this the right thing to do?”
There was doubt in his voice as if he didn’t know what was right or wrong. It seemed like he wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to let them go like that.
Though it seemed that his doubt was coming from something different.
It wasn’t his logic that his doubt came from, but rather his emotions.
It seemed that he still saw Dorian as his childhood friend, rather than as an enemy. That was why there was a part of him that was relieved to see him pull back like this.
It wasn’t hard for me to see this from his eyes, but there was another reason why I said my next words.
“It was the right thing.”
Alidus still looked at me with a doubtful gaze as if he didn’t believe me when I said this.
However, it wasn’t as if I didn’t have anything to back these words.
“It would have been impossible for us to capture them, they would have fought to the end and might have even fought to their deaths. You should know best since you know what kind of people they were.”
Alidus seemed to waver a bit when he heard this, but it still seemed like he didn’t fully believe
me.
Instead of continuing to try to convince him, I instead said, “How about you help me put on a play instead?”
“Huh?” Alidus asked in a confused voice when he heard this.
I didn’t say anything as I just nodded with a smile.
He kept looking at me with that same confused look for a bit before he finally asked, “What kind of play?”
“Well, you should know that this won’t be the end of this. At this rate, it will only be a matter of time before they do something drastic, which wouldn’t be good for us. So before that, don’t you think that we should do something to take care of them?” A sly smile appeared on my face as I said this.
Alidus just looked at me in silence for a bit before suddenly saying, “You know that you look like a villain right now, right?”
There was a surprised look that appeared on my face when I heard this, but then I said, “Sometimes we have to act like a villain, don’t we?”
Alidus just silently looked at me for a bit before slowly nodding in agreement.
Although there were still some misgivings in his expression.
It was as if he didn’t fully agree with this.
I wasn’t surprised to see him look like this since I would be feeling the same way if I didn’t have any information as well.
The one thing that I knew that he cared about was…
“We won’t do anything to harm him, the only thing that we will do is make sure that they won’t be able to do anything against us.” There was a serious look on my face as I said this.
Alidus just silently stared at me for a bit longer as if he was trying to make sure that I was serious.
Seeing the way that I looked right into his eyes, he slowly gave a nod and asked, “What is the plan?”
“Before I tell you, let’s go take a look at the surrounding area. There are some things that I want to see before I tell you the plan.” I turned to head to the surrounding area without even waiting for a response from him.
Alidus looked at me with a strange look, but he still followed me to look at the surrounding
area.
While we were looking around, I slowly explained the plan to him.
When he heard the plan, his expression slowly changed.
It was a surprised look at first, but then it turned into a look of shock.
Then it turned into a frown.
Finally, it turned into a look of acceptance.
“Perhaps this really is the best way…” Alidus said in a wistful voice.
However, he then turned back to me and said in a serious voice, “But this is only a temporary solution. It won’t be able to stop them forever, you should know that.”
I gave a simple nod before saying, “That is all that we need right now. Once we reach a certain point, there won’t be anything that they can do to change things.”
Then in a more serious voice, I said, “Once it reaches that point, there will be other things that we have to look out for.”
Alidus raised a brow when he heard this, but then he looked back at me with a serious look as
well.
The two of us looked at each other like this for a bit before we suddenly both gave sighs. After fighting together like this, it could be said that the relationship was better than before.
One did say that fighting did make people grow closer.
It certainly did make us closer to the point where we were able to share thoughts.
Thoughts about how what we were trying to accomplish was an uphill battle.
