Chapter 1161: Guidelines For Encircling Cities With Villages!
Firis stopped in front of Irina and gazed at her with reddened eyes. The princess had lost weight in the months that they were apart, and she also looked weary, so this period had to have been tough on her. She couldn’t have eaten very well during these times.
Firis felt worse and started to tear up as she continued to look at her.
“Bean Sprout.” Irina, too, looked at Firis with elation in her eyes. However, she soon felt annoyed. Why did that chap send Firis here? The situation of the Night Elves wasn’t good. Firis didn’t know any magic, and wouldn’t be able to protect herself in battle.
“They still haven’t grown much.” Irina’s gaze landed on Firis’ bosom, hovering for a brief moment before she sighed.
The same familiar tone of voice and the attack on her soul, but Firis smiled happily. As long as she could stay with the princess, she would be happy to listen to all her insults every day.
Sargeras also stepped out from the teleportation portal. He looked at the arrow nailed onto the wagon, and asked Kiel and the gang, “Are you guys alright?”
“Boss, we are okay. We just got almost hit.” Kiel shook his head and then touched his scalp.
The tunnel was lit, and dozens of elves with bows and arrows walked out. When the elf who was leading them saw Sargeras and the gang, she exclaimed, “It’s you guys!”
“Huh? Isn’t this Miss Shirley? What are you doing here?” Sargeras and the gang stared at Shirley in a shock. Shirley had tied her hair up into a ponytail. The clothes on her had a few holes, but they still looked very clean.
“We have heard that Miss Shirley left the restaurant, but we didn’t expect you to be here. Boss Mag got us to send foodstuffs for the Night Elves,” Sargeras said with an embarrassed smile.
“Boss…” Shirley was a little taken aback. She looked at the wagons filled with gurney sacks, and felt a warmth in her heart. She hadn’t expected that he would send her so much food.
“Shirley.” Firis greeted Shirley, feeling rather excited too. After all, they had worked together for some time, and now they had reunited here again.
“Firis.” Shirley nodded slightly too. It was difficult to see an old friend here.
“Food!” The elves’ eyes lit up, and they were ecstatic when they saw the fully loaded wagons.
They had already been drinking porridge for a period of time, and food had run out completely yesterday. They could only drink water to suppress their hunger.
Now, they didn’t have to go hungry anymore, since they had received so much food, and they could continue to defend the underground cavern.
“So, you all knew one another.” Irina looked at them in surprise, and her gaze paused when it landed on Shirley.
This beautiful elf who hailed from Chaos City had a 7th-tier power. The Night Elves’ potential was rather strong now, so she was only assigned to be the leader of a garrison. She didn’t expect that she had been a service staff member at Mag’s restaurant.
She is a very beautiful elf, only second to me. Irina’s eyes narrowed. Mag had concealed his identity, so how did he manage to get such a powerful and beautiful elf to work at the restaurant as a service staff member willingly?
“Yes. Shirley and I have worked together in a restaurant in Chaos City.” Firis nodded and looked at Sargeras and the gang before continuing, “Mr Sargeras and his people were entrusted by Mr. Mag to send me and food here. He is the restaurant’s regular customer.”
After getting Firis’ verification, Irina said to Sargeras, “Thank you very much. We are short on food right now.”
“Don’t stand on ceremony, Your Highness. Boss Mag has already paid us, so this is our duty.” Sargeras smiled shyly. He looked at that wide passageway, and said, “We can help you move the food in.”
“It’s alright. We can move it by ourselves. You guys can detach the unicorns and leave before they come back. If the advanced elves are alarmed, you will have a hard time leaving,” Irina said as she looked at the fire torches that were slowly surrounding the mountain again.
“That’s fine with us too.” Sargeras nodded. Then, he said to Firis, “Take care, Miss Firis.”
“Thank you all very much.” Firis bowed to them, full of gratitude. The way they took care of her along their journey had subverted her impression of demons.
The Burning Legion detached the unicorns, and the elves took over wagons. They dashed down the slopes in the dark, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Irina retrieved her gaze, and calmly ordered, “Take all these wagons back. Don’t leave a trace.”
Wagons and wagons were soon dragged into the caverns.
“Princess, we have taken stock of all the food. If we ration it properly, it will last us for two months,” the chief of guard reported, barely able to hide his smile.
“Alright, we have solved the problem of supplies. Guard this information, and continue to fortify the defense underground cavern.” Irina nodded, her expression was more relaxed too.
How did he know what I am lacking now? That fellow. Even though he didn’t say it, he does a great job. Irina’s lips curled as she looked at those supplies. Her smile got increasingly brighter.
“Princess, our boss asked me to pass this to you.” Firis took a booklet wrapped with kraft paper and passed it to Irina.
“Passed to me?” Irina’s eyes lit up as a hint of confusion appeared on her face. Had Mag told Firis about their relationship?
“Yes. He said this is a war manual and let me pass it to you. It might be helpful.” Firis nodded with a smile, adding, “Boss is really a nice person.”
“War manual?” Irina took over that booklet and flipped it open. She read out the first page. “The First Half: Guidelines For Encircling Cities With Villages!
“What strange thing is this?” Irina frowned and flipped to the middle again. Her brows furrowed even tighter. “36 Stratagems of Sun Tzu’s Art of War.”
“Boss is just being kind. Maybe it is not really useful…” Firis murmured. Although she didn’t know much about war manuals, it didn’t sound very reliable.
“Mm-hm, I will go and study it.” Irina nodded and left with the booklet.
Firis looked around her before her gaze landed Shirley, who was about to lead a group of elves to continue on their patrol. She quickly said, “Wait a min, Shirley.”
Shirley halted and looked at Firis who ran to her.
Firis took out a rabbit that was weaved with yarn and passed to her. Smiling, she said, “Anna wanted me to pass this to you. She said she would be waiting for you to return.”
