In fact, Yohkel had just escaped from the battlefield when he learned from another subordinate that Conrad had already fled. Furious, Yohkel couldn't help but curse loudly, but deep inside, he was secretly rejoicing. If he had been the first to retreat and left Conrad behind, he would inevitably face reprimand and possibly punishment.
If it weren't for the secret of the Elf King's Tomb he held, he wouldn't have dared to flee so casually and might have gotten into serious trouble. However, since Conrad had left first, the situation was entirely different. Conrad became the scapegoat, and Yohkel appeared as the one who fought valiantly. If these Silver Elves hadn't been drawn here by him in the first place, this leverage alone could bring significant trouble to the person he had always disliked.
Even so, this was enough to make Yohkel immensely pleased. Besides, he still had other cards up his sleeve.
"Those damned elves."
