Chapter 595: Trade (1/2)

The next day.

Theo continued commanding the Holy Knight Order to deal with all the settlements west to the main camp. This would be their place to start the attack, so they made sure not a single goblin would hit them from behind.

During the whole day, Theo never used his clone and no one knew the reason. Fortunately, the plan succeeded and the group took over the area in no time.

During the night, Theo sat down, away from everyone because he didn't like them anymore. Seeing him sitting alone, Agata approached him and asked, ”Theo, what are you doing here? I know that the previous conversation ruined it a bit, but you don't need to be this far you know.”

Theo glanced at her and said, ”Nah, it's fine. I am not planning to get along with them.”

”Is that so? Do you mind if I sit here then?”

”Actually, I have a favor.” Theo's face became serious as he looked at Agata.

Agata slightly squinted her eyes and nodded. ”Let me hear it.”

The night continued without a problem and they were preparing to hit the goblins in the main settlement. However, everything changed when the sun rose.

A female magician hurriedly rushed to the camp while saying, ”This is bad!”

Her voice took everyone's attention as Loris approached her and asked, ”What happened?”

”The dam… The dam is empty!”

”What?!” Loris took a step back in disbelief. He looked at her expression that seemed to tell no lie and said, ”Are you sure?”

”Yes. Please go to the hill right now.”

Loris brought everyone to climb the hill as they wanted to check whether what she said was true or not. And the moment they arrived, they couldn't believe the effort of the water magician filling the dam together with the water source had disappeared. The dam was empty as if all the water had just evaporated.

”What is happening here?” Loris screamed in despair. ”Where is the water? Who did this? If we don't have this dam, we can't attack them.”

While Loris was lamenting, the others seemed to have another idea about the culprit.

”You bastard!” The young man rushed toward him and grabbed his collar, glaring at him. ”Enough is enough! You're just toying with everyone's life here!”

Theo tilted his head in confusion as if he didn't do something. ”What do you mean? Why are you accusing me? Why don't you start asking your teammates questions too?”

”It's obvious you're the culprit.” The young man gritted his teeth.

”You should watch out for your words.” Theo squinted his eyes. ”There is also a possibility of someone trying to frame me because of that discussion. Seeing your reaction, their plan is certainly successful because it's easy to manipulate an idiot like you.”

They all looked at Theo with the same doubt but were stopped by Agata.

”You need proof before accusing someone. I don't understand and wonder whether I've truly grown up together with the Holy Knight Order or not. What I know about the Holy Knight Order is that all of you are elites who are not easily taunted by the enemies.” Agata sighed.

”It's obvious that he's the culprit!”

”Shut up!” Agata narrowed her eyes as she raised her voice. ”He is with me the entire night and you're expecting me to believe you? If you're accusing him, why don't you accuse me too? I am also the culprit this way.”
