Two bright moons hung high in the sky, and the two kinds of light of silver and purple sprinkled on his body, but they could not dispel the haze that lingered in front of him. If the gods really love the world, why do they just watch quietly like this?

The young knight couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it anymore.

"May the merciful river gods send them into the most peaceful embrace of the goddess of the sea. ”

Amid the prayers of the crowd, improvised rafts containing the remains of the war dead were pushed into the Ningsoul River, which was running day and night—on this continent far from the peninsula, they could not bury the dead directly into the sea, but all rivers would eventually merge into the sea.

That, the hometown of the legendary Dragonclaw Man.

"Goodbye, guys. ”

Muttering, the young knight extinguished his torches with his companions and left the river......

Bang –

Towards midnight, they set up camp behind a leeward dunch.

The heavy armor stacked on top of each other made a sound that was not pleasant, but there was no more pleasant sound for the foot knights who had marched and fought all day with their loads.

"Your shoulders ......, sir"

"The pastor has treated me and it's fine. You go and help Uruk. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Watching Hale go to the fire to help the old knight Uruk unarm, Han raised his left arm and unfastened the belt that held his shoulder armor in place despite the stinging pain of the wound. Half of the head of the old man's squire had his head cut off by the ogre's axe during the battle, and now there was no one to help him carry the bottles and cans.

After Han's squire Haul helped the old knight remove his armor, he took two small bottles out of his bag and handed them to the young knight by the squire.

"My lord, Lord Uruk said it was a painkiller, one to drink, one to smear. ”

"It's weird herbal alchemy again? Forget it, you shouldn't be able to eat the dead. ”

Taking the drinkable bottle from the attendant's hand, Han Yi tilted his head and sent the potion into his stomach. Thinking back to the girl who cast healing magic on herself in the wounded camp, the young knight's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

It was the cutest girl he had ever seen.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

Looking at the knight who looked up at the night sky and didn't move for a long time, Hall asked with some concern.

"Nothing...... Help me apply the potion. ”

Taking off his sweat-soaked armor and tearing off his tattered underwear, Han walked naked to a newly raised bonfire and sat down cross-legged. In late spring and early summer, in May, the wilderness at night is still relatively cool.

"Your Excellency, you seem to be very sad. ”

When the squire half-knelt on the side and dipped the potion into the cloth towel, and wiped the wound on the knight's shoulder with just the right weight, he didn't try to hide it too much, but just evaded it by diverting the topic, "Did you get anything today?"

The death of Knight Captain Oren was not only a big blow to himself, but also to the rest of his companions.

"Stabbed an ogre to death with another mercenary, and the rest was a kill. ”

"That's not bad. ”

"My lord, how can I be like you, and have the strength to fight bravely in that situation. ”

"Well...... I'll tell you the next time you kill an enemy on your own. ”

In the small talk of the foot knights and their attendants, the men of the baggage team finally brought hot bread, stew, and soup to the warriors of Zenda after solving the problem of food for the main force of the front army.

The mercenaries and squires began to feast on the food when they got it, but the knights on foot sat around the fire in a hurry, and after a short prayer, they grabbed the food from their plates and ate it.

This meal was much more hearty than the last, but it wasn't because of anything else - the man still cooked the same amount, but there were not so many people who ate.

"Han, you shed a lot of blood today, if you can't hold on, go to the wounded barracks to recuperate for two days. ”

When the old knight Uruk gave him kind advice, Han smiled and shook his head, reaching out and patting his arm twice, "I have been treated by a beautiful young priest, both physically and mentally, and I have been healed. ”

"Just blow it. Seeing that Han's face was not red and his heart was not beating to tell about the "good luck" brought by the injury, Tafu, the walking knight who was also sharpened by the ogre's flying axe, couldn't help but tear down the stage and said: "I think you must have lost too much blood and hallucinated at that time, not to mention the girl in the baggage team we escorted, there is not even an aunt." ”

"Hey, don't be unconvinced, Catbeard, everyone saw it at the time, how beautiful that young priest is. Anyway, why are you also injured, and the priest who treated you is an old man?"

"I'll go, Han, you stinky boy is really underwhelmed. ”

The air around the campfire became filled with the smell of gunpowder in an instant.

"Then you're here to beat me. ”

"Don't run if you have the ability. ”

Amid the laughter of their companions, the two knights, who were usually unsmiling, chased and fought around the bonfire. It looks like two children who haven't grown up.

.........

"Goo-goo-woo-"

The cry of the owl came from the woodland not far away, and he threw a piece of firewood into the fire, and Han craned his neck and looked for a while towards the heart of the Chinese army's tent. Over there, the glow of the magic lamp illuminated the tent all around.

Most of his companions were wrapped in blankets and slept, except for Uruk and him by the campfire, waiting for two hours before Tafo and Glimbo would change shifts with them.

"This is a good sword, when you get to the capital of the Principality of Fengze, you can find a craftsman to reattach it for you. ”

The old knight's voice came from the side, and Han picked up his halberd and waved it lightly in mid-air, "If you are in the field, this long weapon is enough." If I could, I would still like to wait until I go back to Zenda to find Master Pamo, whose craftsmanship I can trust. ”

In this battle, the hand and half of the sword of the secondary weapon were broken, and the halberd of the main weapon was not unscathed.

The hardness of the ogre's skull is very amazing, and when it slashes at it, it uses all its strength, so that the halberd blade of the war halberd has a small opening, but it does not affect its use for the time being. While cleaning up the battlefield, Uruk and several of them worked together to pull the halberd out of the ogre's head.

The red and white splashed all over the ground, and now I feel disgusting when I think about it.

"Then put your sword there first, there is still a vacant seat in his baggage cart. ”

"Well, just leave it there. ”

Returning the broken sword to its sheath and placing it away, Uruk picked up his helmet from the fire and slowly stood up with his spear in hand, "Let's go, go around the area." "Everyone called him the old knight, but he was only in his forties—but among the walking knights of Zenda, he was really old enough.

Just as they were about to get up to make a round around the area, a small sound of footsteps and a sentry's greeting stopped them. By the light of the campfire, the two knights on foot stared at the approaching figure.

"Who?"

"It's me, Garneau. ”

When the appearance of the visitor was clearly visible in the light of the fire, the two knights bowed their heads together.

"Lord Viscount. ”

"Lord Viscount. ”

Looking at the two knights with blood stains on their armor, Garno nodded approvingly, "The two of you haven't rested so late, and what Knight Captain Oren said is indeed true - well, I didn't come to you to see you salute, take it easy." ”

As the second son of the earl, he has little hope of directly inheriting his father's title, so if he wants to have a future that is not inferior to his brother, he can only redouble his efforts all the time - not only to train himself, but also to win people's hearts.

Glancing at Han beside him, and seeing that he didn't move, Uruk had to bite the bullet and take over, "So, what are you looking for us?"

"My words, just looking for Uruk, looking for you, looking for Han...... There are others. ”

Looking at the person who walked out from behind Viscount Garneau, the knight who was still looking at the ground with a cold face, his eyes suddenly glowed. But after a brief surprise, the young knight's heart was filled with more worry.
