I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 423

Nervous? In Fili's opinion, this word is the most inappropriate description for Elena. In this week, she has never seen Elena show any panic.

Whether facing powerful monsters or complicated neighborhood relationships, Elena always maintains a confident and mature temperament.

It is this temperament that silently attracts Fili. She has long regarded the other party as her role model.

Now that the existence she admires has said discouraging words, Fili doesn't know what to say for a while, and her mood becomes particularly complicated.

"It's really unlike you. You came here from a long way. I thought you, Elena, were very confident in defeating the ice dragon. At the very least, you are the kind of person who has long looked down on life and death. I didn't expect you to show such a cowardly look."

Using a joking tone to ease the atmosphere, Fili was still unwilling to admit that Elena was the kind of person who would be cowardly.

"You're overthinking. I'm a coward, more afraid of death than anyone else."

Irena said lightly. He wasn't lying. He was really afraid of death.

After all, compared to when he was a lonely war orphan, Irena is no longer alone, and even his life no longer belongs to him alone.

If he had any accident outside, his friends back home would definitely be very sad.

Since coming to this world, Irena has become more and more soft-hearted. He really can't bear to see them show sad expressions. When he thought that someone would cry when he was gone, Irena was afraid to take risks.

The reason why he is still fighting here is just because he has a reason to work hard. If he doesn't take risks, the only people around him will be in danger.

"Irena, you are really a joke. You don't look like that kind of person at all."

Fili, who has only known Irena for a week, doesn't actually know him very well. It can even be said that Irena, who has never revealed too much of his true thoughts, few people know his true thoughts.

Fili could only see Elena's strong surface, but she didn't know what was hidden behind the strongness.

"Fili, leave here tomorrow, don't participate in this battle to defeat the ice dragon."

Fili was still smiling bitterly, but Elena turned around and looked at her seriously, and asked her to stay away from the existence of the ice dragon.

"What do you mean? Do you want me to be a deserter? I am a soldier in the fortress, and I have the obligation to protect this land and the people who live on this land.

The dragon clan is quite vengeful. If we can't defeat it together tomorrow, when the ice dragon recovers one day, the first thing it will do is to raze this area to the ground.

I will stop this from happening no matter what, but now Elena, you want me to be a deserter, what a joke?!"

Fili was a little angry. She has always been a person with a strong sense of justice and responsibility. Elena's words now are like asking her to be a deserter in disguise, a coward who runs away in panic.

She definitely couldn't accept such a result. She would rather die tragically in the battle against the ice dragon than be a deserter despised by everyone.

"Don't get excited, young man. This battle is not a glorious one. There is no need to care so much about this kind of battle that is obviously sending you to death. Anyway, those bastards in the fortress never regarded you as their own. It's not clear whether your so-called military identity is real or not."

"You?!"

These words made her more and more angry. Even if it was a joke, it was too much.

Fili raised her right hand, but she couldn't put it down in the end. She was angry but she didn't want to use her temper to hit people.

"You are really too much, Elena. I will not be a deserter, no matter what you say!"

This was the first time that Fili got angry with Elena. After leaving such a sentence, she turned her face away and left, leaving Elena standing alone on the city wall in the cold wind.

"Hmph, this kid is really not cute at all. He will suffer if he ignores the advice of adults. I won't care what happens next."

Looking at the back of Fili who has already gone far away, Elena couldn't help but mutter to himself.

He said this, but in fact he didn't expect Fili to listen to his advice. Being a deserter is really not something that a responsible person would be willing to accept.

But some things still need to be said. Even if you know it won't work, you still have to go through the process. Doesn't it make you look worried about others?

"If something happens that can't be handled, I will be the first to escape.Just go."

Touching the ring on his index finger, Elena stood on the city wall and looked into the distance. He had no intention of fighting for glory, nor did he have any intention of fighting to the death.

Once the situation got out of control, he would leave the battlefield without hesitation. No matter who tried to stop him, it would be useless. After all, if he died, he would have nothing.

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. Whether he was nervous or excited about tomorrow's crusade, the emotions that surged in his heart made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

Especially for a young team like Noah's team, the thought of being able to crusade the legendary dragon tomorrow, After tomorrow, they will be crowned as dragon-slaying heroes. It is hard not to make these adventurers who are eager to stand out excited.

Even the usually lazy Winter Fortress has welcomed the long-awaited drill. Robert led his soldiers to practice the formation in an orderly manner in the open space of the fortress.

From their majestic appearance, it can be seen that they are determined to capture the ice dragon tomorrow. The logistics team is holding the four siege weapons and constantly maintaining and wiping them. After all, the biggest contributors to the fight against the ice dragon are these powerful weapons.

Elena huddled in a corner alone, and These excited adventurers or soldiers seemed out of place, and his serious expression showed that he was not relaxed at the moment.

He still felt that the people here took things for granted. Their opponents were dragons, the evil monsters that always destroyed nations mentioned in storybooks.

People in this world have been taught from childhood that dragons are scary, but why do these people still have such naive ideas when facing such a powerful monster?

Maybe the black dragon attracted too much attention, so that ordinary dragons seemed less dangerous, which made people mistakenly believe that dragons were not so dangerous. I have a wrong understanding that dragons of other species are much easier to deal with than black dragons.

Irina himself can't say anything. After all, although he is a half-dragon, he has never really confronted a real dragon. Most of the dragons he has defeated so far are sub-dragons.

The only dragon he has ever come into contact with is the White Dragon Queen, but she is already dying. However, even if she is dying, the breath she exudes is quite terrifying.

So much so that Irina now doesn't think he can fight against such an existence. It seems that the dying white dragon can easily crush him now.
