Which is more important, defense or offense - author

Richard smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect Robert to run away directly. "It seems that Robert is indeed a traitor. You fought well as an assassin. It seems that God is on your side today."

Altaïr directly shook his head and denied that he was not a believer in that god, "This has nothing to do with God, it's just that I'm a better fighter."

"Aha, maybe you don't believe in him, but it looks like he believes in you. Before you leave, I have a question." Richard didn't pay much attention to Altaïr's statement, but now he has a question.

"Just ask."

"Why? Why travel such a long distance and risk thousands of lives just to kill this one person?" Richard was referring to Altaïr's desire to solve Robert's matter.

"He threatened my brothers and everything we stood for," Altaïr said, and Gao Long, who was on the side, added, "And the peace of the Holy Land."

Altaïr nodded, agreeing with Gao Long's statement.

"Ah, it's for revenge." Richard seemed to know that Robert had led a team to Masyaf.

"No, not for vengeance, but for justice, and the possibility of peace," Altaïr denied.

"Is this where you are fighting? Peace? Don't you see the contradiction between this?" Richard asked rhetorically.

"It doesn't make sense to some people." Altaïr was talking about people like Robert.

"Like that lunatic, Saladin." Richard didn't forget to blackmail Saladin.

"I think he, like you, hopes that this war will end as soon as possible." Altaïr knew that Saladin just wanted to drive Richard out of his land.

Richard admitted undeniably, "I've heard about it too, but I've never seen his expression." However, what Richard did did not show anything at all, and he still occupied the territory that originally belonged to Saladin.

"Even if he didn't say so, this is the expectation of the people, both for the Saracens and the Crusaders." What Altaïr said is not wrong at all. What people hope for is peace, no matter where they are. The camps are all the same.

"People don't know what they want, so they come to people like us." Richard still feels very peaceful about his town.

"It's because we only rely on people like you that this happened." Altaïr was referring to the fact that Richard actually snatched this land from the rebels and refused to resolve this series of problems with Saladin. Intensified.

"Ha, bullshit. We came into this world kicking and screaming, violent and restless. It's our nature, we can't help it." Richard has ambition in his blood, just like his title Same, Lionheart.

Altaïr disagreed with his statement "No, we can choose who we are."

"Aha, someone like you? Always playing with words." Richard sneered.

"What I said is true, there is no trick." Altaïr directly denied it.

Richard no longer wants to continue discussing this topic with Altaïr "We will know soon, but today your wish is probably out of sight. Even now, that fanatic Saladin is killing my people , I have to meet them, but maybe, after he sees how vulnerable he is, he will reconsider his behavior. Yes, maybe your pursuit is possible."

"Don't forget that your situation is not more stable than his. Those who support you behind you may not serve you wholeheartedly." Altaïr reminded Richard again.

Richard nodded, but his tone was very perfunctory, "Yes, yes, I understand."

"Then it's time for us to leave. My master and I still have a lot to talk about. It seems that even he is not without fault." There was a hint of sadness in Altaïr's words.

"He's just a mortal, we are all. You, too." Richard felt that Altaïr was a nice person, but a little too paranoid.

"May your heart be at peace." After saying that, Altaïr took Gao Long down the mountain and left.

On the top of the mountain, Richard looked at their leaving figures, thought for a moment, and then gathered his troops and rushed to the battlefield to take command.

At this time, Saladin has sent a large number of troops to carry out harassment operations. It seems that the conversation yesterday made Saladin very angry.

Now Richard's army needed his command to confront Saladin, or even defeat him.

"Now we have to return to Masyaf as soon as possible. Although Robert failed to kill him, he no longer has Richard to rely on, and he can't complete his plan." While running towards the place where the horse was hitched, he Altaïr said to Gao Long.

"We still have 10 days to go back to Masyaf, and there is no way for us to hurry now." Gao Long was thinking of a way to save time.

"We can't go back slowly, can we?" Altaïr asked.

Gao Long suddenly remembered the two shortcuts he took across when he was going to Jerusalem alone. If he went there, he would definitely save a lot of time.

And the second shortcut was to meet Robert that day and die once, but now that Robert is near Arsuf, there must be no one there.

"Let's go straight through the forest." Gao Long pointed in the direction of Jerusalem.

"We are not familiar with the forest. It will be a fool if we get lost in it." Altaïr rejected the proposal.

"Remember what I told you before, I saw Robert somewhere, and he was doing some things inside." Gao Long just changed the result, making Altaïr think he saw Robert, It's just that Robert didn't notice him.

"Could it be that you are talking about the forest between Acre City and Jerusalem?" Altaïr suddenly realized.

"That's right, it's there, let's go straight through the forest." Gao Long nodded.

"Okay, then do it according to your idea." Altaïr agreed with Gao Long's idea.

The two finally ran down the mountain, and then came to the place where the horse was tied, and found that the horse was still in place without any accident.

After the two got on their horses, they first detoured from the other side. They had no choice but to bypass the battlefield, and then returned directly to the vicinity of Jerusalem.

They couldn't just run for such a long distance. They had to ensure sufficient drinking water and food, including the two horses. If any accident happened to any of them, they might not be able to return to Masyaf in time.

Altaïr bought some supplies directly at a large price, and the merchants were very happy to collect all the things they needed within 5 minutes.

The two continued to set off on the road, following Gao Long's guidance, in fact, they came to the shortcut entrance following the guidance of the system map.

"Is it really possible to pass through here?" Altaïr actually still had some elements of disbelief.

After all, he has never been here, and the first time was so urgent, of course he had some doubts.

"No problem, the first section is like this." Gao Long knew the structure here. Walking a little further forward, there is a small trail, where the horse can run directly instead of slowly walking around the trees. .

"Understood, let's move on." Now that Gao Long promised so sternly, Altaïr let go of the doubts in his heart, and followed Gao Long into this shortcut.
