Vanessa stood on the edge of the pit and looked down, her legs aching from standing for so long. At this moment, the sun is high in the sky, and the pit dug for the headless dead is about to be completed. Next to this pit was an even larger pit, in which the mercenaries piled up the corpses of their own men and set fire to the enemy's. Vanessa, of course, allowed them to loot the deceased's belongings, which sparked another round of discontent from Prince Brandt.

"You can go and rest," Reina handed the princess a wet towel, "I'll make sure nothing happens here." ”

Vanessa glanced at the archer quickly, "The Queen's eyes and ears are everywhere, I don't dare to take risks, once the plan is exposed, Brandt and I will be in danger." ”

Reina didn't say anything, but gestured to a big tree not far away, "At least go over there and lean in, you haven't closed your eyes all night." ”

Vanessa looked back at Brant in the distance, he had already packed his equipment and horses, and was ready to head for Sleeping Dragon City. Hopefully, the commander who has just been released will bring the news to Queen Deanna, who has helped him deal with the Other mercenaries and the big man Andy.

"How's that kid?" Vanessa asked in a low voice.

"He was teleported to Trent by me, and the old man was in need of a handyman."

The princess nodded, she didn't plan to let Reyner kill a child, Trent confessed, Reyner stole a lot of magic potions and scroll charms from him, among them there must be good magic that can help, Lother also used the right magic in the matter, he used the shape-shifting powder on the head of a dead corpse, now Osser looks not only a lot younger, but also stronger, but he walks a little shaky, obviously he is not very used to this new body, looks like a drunken drunkard. "How long will that head keep me looking?" Other had asked Reina. The archer, adjusting the bowstring, replied nonchalantly, "Enough for the queen to remember and throw into the sewers." ”

The body of the substitute was swept up by the mercenaries with bamboo mats and thrown into the red clay pit, and some people began to fill the pit, Vanessa felt that she should say something, but what to say? Other's life? How did he get mesmerized by Deanna, how did he break his oath, and finally die pathetically for love? Forget it, even if it is said to the mole, these words are difficult to say. However, the princess was grateful for Other's sacrifice, and if it wasn't for his wise choice, the remaining mercenaries would not have followed her with all their hearts.

"Come with her," Vanessa remembered the gray-haired man's mournful eyes and words, "and the more practical and fulfillable she promised you is than mine." I have been using you all along, I have lived for that woman, but she has repeatedly betrayed me, and even killed me, I have no love for myself, since she wants my head, then fulfill her. And you must remember that your regimental commander died at his own hands, and no one else. ”

In this way, a hundred battle-hardened mercenaries remained, most of them had no relatives and nowhere to go, or had a family to support like Ethan the musician, and it was easier to follow the princess than to go around begging for a living alone, and in case she succeeded, the bet was right.

"How many people are gone?" Vanessa looked around, there were originally more than two hundred people left in the mercenary group, and some of them were stubborn patriarchs who instigated their companions to leave, and Vanessa was sure that Reina was paying attention to the direction of their departure.

"Ten." Reina and the princess looked at each other, and it was a very meaningful look.

"I'll go with Brant to meet his aunt in Dragon City," Vanessa leaned against the trunk of a tree and closed her eyes, "I'll leave the matter to you." ”

Reina looked at the princess with nostalgia, and suddenly stretched out his arm and hugged her, this posture looked to outsiders like an old friend who had been separated for many years, Vanessa did not refuse, she buried her head in Reina's chest, smelled the sunshine on him, and whispered: "Come back safely." The archer nodded, and disappeared in front of the princess in the blink of an eye.

"Where did he go?" Brandt noticed that Reina was missing and walked over and asked.

"Finally ignored me?" Vanessa smiled wearily, not allowing him to reply, "He made a pact with a magician that he would have to go back after helping me." Why do you suddenly care so much about an archer? ”

"I'm just afraid that you will have some evil thoughts again, such as murdering unarmed children and the like." The prince threw off these words and turned on his horse.

Vanessa ignored him, and when the mercenaries finished their work, she found the new Osser, "The mercenary group is in charge of you for the time being, and you can go to Cammysta to station." "Right now, the queen must be wary of the mercenary group, it's best to find a small place to settle down and preserve her strength, and then enter Sleeping Dragon City after the princess's plan is on the right track.

The princess and the prince, riding on tall horses, with horses' hooves and birds singing on the country road, should have been a beautiful picture, but unfortunately no one knows what feelings these two men have for each other, and no one knows what their plans are
