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 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.
