章 451: Tricky

'Why is a human assisting the ogres?'

This was the thought that ran through my mind as I stared at the old mage on the ground.

Various thoughts flashed through my mind, yet due to a lack of information, I had no idea which was closer to the truth.

'Was he forced to do this?'

'Was it a sort of deal?'

'Or perhaps it's nothing even complicated, and the old mage assisted the ogres for an overly simplistic reason.'

Regardless of whatever reason was behind the old mage's decision to side with the ogres, it didn't change the fact that he was my enemy at the moment.

I was still very curious about his reason, though.

"We'll have to go on the offense too, Blue," I said to my companion, who let out a large screech in reply.

"Go!" I shouted as I held on to Blue, who sped toward the ogre army again.

The old mage was ready for us, and the moment we started moving again, several projectiles started hurling towards us.
