Wow!

The pheasant was pierced by a short sword and fell straight to the snow.

Weken nodded slightly, and began to live with this pheasant.

Killing Chickens...... Well, the chickens are dead, let's start plucking and cleaning up the entrails.

Snow can be used directly as water, which is very convenient. But the only thing that made me feel helpless was that the firewood stained with snow burned very badly, and the smoke was almost hopeless.

"I don't want to turn a roast chicken into a smoked chicken...... Weken looked at the fat pheasant he had worn with a slashed stick, and for a moment wondered if he should put it on a makeshift shelf and roast it.

The smoke billowed from the flames, almost stunning people on the spot.

"Forget it, let's find a place to rest first, and prepare to spend the night in the forest. Weken sighed, picked up some snow and doused the unlit fire.

I don't know why, but I feel like I have a wonderful feeling in my heart that it's time for me to leave this place.

The sooner the better.

Sticking the pheasant in the throwing gun, Weken intended to carry the princess on one shoulder......

"Heavy ......"

I'm not the kind of tall macho man, and I can't carry it on one shoulder.

After a moment's thought, Weken untied the princess's shackles and some of the chains on her body, and simply tied her hands behind her back.

As he took a step, Weken tried to tread on hard ground with no snow. Leave quickly, no longer stop.

About half an hour later, a group of gray-clothed men arrived, and they all fell silent as they watched the fire being extinguished on the snow.

Once again, they lost track of the subject they were tracking.

As time passed, Weken found a cave down the hillside and made sure there were no hibernating bears or other strange things in it before dropping the girl he was carrying.

It's going to be night, and the forest is going to be dark again.

Taking advantage of this time, Weken quickly found a pile of snow-stained firewood nearby and dried it in a ventilated place, hoping to blow away some of the moisture in it one night.

This cave is very hidden, and there are even weeds around it as cover, if you don't see it by accident and feel that there seems to be a safe hiding place here, maybe no one will be able to find it, right?

The sky gradually darkened. It looks like it's going to be snowing again tonight.

With a slight frown, Wei Ken took out the bag of dry food in the inner pocket in his arms, took out a mixed grain bran cake, and gnawed on the water.

It's hard to eat, but it's great when you're hungry. I don't know which guy invented this kind of military ration, it should have been dragged out and shot a thousand times. Without water, there's almost no way to swallow these tough things.

"Hu ......" replenished his nutrition a little, and Wei Ken put away the rest of the dry food, leaned against the rock wall, and curled up.

It's been cold tonight, and it looks like the temperature has dropped a bit again.

I don't know if the battlefield outside the wind and rain forest has been cleaned now...... How will the remains of the war dead be treated?

Whew——!!!

Outside the cave, the melodious roar of wild wolves makes people's scalps tingle. In this forest, there is indeed everything.

Squinting slightly, Weken planned to take a nap.

"Uh-huh...... cough ......" The girl lying directly across from her was a big blush, her brow furrowed, as if she was experiencing some kind of pain. Her body trembled slightly, as if she was afraid of the cold of the night, but she was bound and unable to break free from the chains that trapped her.

Her beautiful silver hair seemed to be stained with a little mud and water, and it looked a little dirty. She no longer has the beauty of a shadow in the snow when she first saw her, and she is full of embarrassment and powerlessness at this time.

"Looks like you have a fever, right?" Wei Ken nodded, ignoring the other party.

Since she is from the Vichy Empire, her body's ability to resist cold should be much better, so leave her alone there.

In addition, I am very tired now. Last night's fierce battle, nine deaths, physical and mental exhaustion. And today I dragged this princess away for a day, and I have to resist later...... Plus there is no food supplement.

Wei Ken glanced at the pheasant he had collected inside the cave to prevent the smell from leaking out to attract wild wolves: "After the firewood is dried a little, let's quickly replenish some meat to restore our strength." ”

The light outside the cave has completely disappeared, and the five fingers inside the cave are missing, which makes people feel very lonely and frightened.

It's definitely a place of welfare for claustrophobic and darkphobic people. But it's a pity that I'm not one of those people.

Although there was an enemy lying opposite, a prisoner she had captured from the battlefield, a battle exploit to be brought back in exchange for benefits, she was heavy, sometimes hurried, and occasionally accompanied by a small sound of dry coughing, which still dispelled the dark fear a little.

Weken felt as if his eyelids were getting heavier.

If you dream tonight, I hope it's a dream that tells you what to do in the future......

......

............

Weken woke up from his daze, the sun shining through the leaves into the cavern. The snow seemed to have stopped, and a fresh breath came from outside.

"Huh?" Wei Ken was stunned, stood up, and walked to the girl opposite.

“......”

After a moment of silence, Weken tentatively placed his hand on his neck......

"Is it ......?"

Cold.

Placing his hand on his chest again, Weken tried to feel the other's heartbeat.

"Dead ......"

With a slight frown, Wei Ken shook his head helplessly.

It seems that even the people of the Vichy Empire could not withstand the cold and sickness of the night. Even the kind of mage who can use magic to kill enemies in a wide area is still fragile.

The loss of life is regrettable and helpless.

"I don't think I know your name yet, but it doesn't matter. Weken spread his hands and reached for the sword at his waist.

Since there is no way to bring back the captives alive, then—bring back their noble heads.

Swish!

There is no blood as imagined, everything is cold. But outside the cave, it seemed to be warm, and the sunlight shining through the leaves was very bright.

"Let's hit the road. Tearing off a piece of cloth from the corpse, Weken wrapped up the "Battle Exploits" and set out on the road to Stormy City.

The forest outside the cave, unusually warm, looks like a symbol of a bright future.

After two days on the road......

Weken found Marshal Dikosr's corps. By this time, the army of the Kingdom of Rairdo had already defeated the army of the Vichy Empire, driving it out of the border.

It was a coincidence that he came to meet Field Marshal Dikosr, who was leading the army and preparing to leave.

"Hmm......" Wei Ken couldn't see the face of the marshal on the tall horse, and at this time he tried to recall the etiquette that Freud had said, and greeted him directly.

"Marshal, I have brought back the head of the princess of the Vichy Empire!" Picking up the orbular object, Victor stood respectfully in front of the steed that had stopped in front of him.

"Huh?" a calm voice came from the horse, "Let me see?"

One of the marshal's own soldiers took the head and presented it, which caused a crowd of exclamations.

"Sure enough, it's the princess!"

"She's a magician, and this soldier actually killed a magician!"

"It should be rewarded!"

The marshal nodded, motioned for his soldiers to take the head down, and then looked at Wei Ken: "Soldier, you have done a good job, reward." ”

"Marshal Xie!" Wei Ken's heart relaxed slightly.

And at this time......

"Marshal, I remember this soldier. A voice that chilled Wei Ken's heart sounded.

That's Pree...... He rode his tall horse and laughed as he approached Dicosr's side.

"This is the general who betrayed the kingdom of Rieldo, a soldier under Freud. And he is still a deserter. "He must have been hiding somewhere, waiting until the war was over to go up and cut off the heads of the dead." ”

"I-" Weken just tried to plead.

"I see. ”

Weken couldn't make out the expression on Dicosr's face, but he could hear his cold, emotionless words.

"Treason, desertion, deception. Come on, cut him down!"

"Yes!" a large group of pro-soldiers rushed up, and Wicken didn't even survive their siege for a single round before slashing his legs and grabbing them.

The last sight in front of me was the sarcastic smile of Pres on his horse.

Swish!

The long knife fell, and the neck was cold—and the scene changed again.

Lizlit, who is in Forest Town, is kissed unbridled by the evil smile Presie in her arms, and she is about to be ......

Everything, the end.

......

............

"Whoa!!!" Wake sat up in shock, reaching out to touch his neck.

He was still alive, and he was still in the cave. Outside, there was the howling of wind and snow, and inside the cavern was pitch black.

"Hey, are you still alive!?" Weken hurriedly stood up, but was a little flustered that he couldn't see the princess.

Everything in the dream may become real. Even if she escapes and doesn't exchange for the merits, Lizlit may suffer that fate......

"Ahem...... Whew......"

At this time, the girl's painful, gradually weakening breathing seemed to make people feel a little calm.

Weken calmed down a bit.

I absolutely can't accept that ending.

"I'm going to bring this guy back alive. Wicken looked grim and felt in the direction of the mouth of the cave.

I just hope that the firewood has been almost dried at the tuyere.
