I switched my attention to the sea far away.
"Yea, that's what I thought too! They had surrendered, yet, out of the blue, they attacked us."
"Out of revenge, perhaps?"

'That's not what I meant! You stupid bastard!'
I massage my nose bridge to relieve my anguish.
'Calm down. Calm down.'
And I explained in more detail.
"What I mean is, how did they get here? You know it's impossible to cross the Tèras forest and nearly impossible to cross the sea, right? Then why do they have such a large number of troops?"
Silent. Alexander didn't answer, but I decided to add a little gasoline to the fire.
"But there might be a chance if some group helped them."
Soon, my body felt like burning, it seemed Alexander eyed me intently. I ignored it and continued whilst gazing up ahead.
