Eventually, tents were erected and bonfires were lit just before sunset.

People chatted around four campfires, waiting for the sizzling roast on the shelves.

Rooney's nose twitched slightly, "Huh? He suddenly turned his head in the direction where the smell was coming from.

"Hal! You kid is smuggling alcohol again! "In most mercenary groups, there will be a rule that alcohol is not allowed during the mission, and the Eagle Mercenary Group is certainly no exception.

Hani, who had gently lifted the kettle hanging from his waist to take a sip, just pulled the stopper off the kettle, and before he could drink it, the sound of Captain Rooney was heard from the other campfire beside him.

Hani, who had his back to Captain Rooney, not only did not stop his movements because of Captain Rooney's drinking, but as if a switch had been turned on, the slow motion that was originally cautious in his hand suddenly fasted forward, and he suddenly raised the kettle and raised his head to the Adam's apple and shook it up and down.

"You kid!" When Captain Rooney took a few steps forward and snatched the kettle, he shook it and found that in just a few seconds, the wine in his hand was half empty.

"Uh......" Hani just hiccuped and looked at the other with a smirk......

"Captain! Spank him! The mercenaries around the campfire laughed and coaxed, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

It seems that none of them cared, they didn't care about today's bloody battle, the teammates who died in the bloody battle......

The mercenaries chatted easily, chatting about the fact that they must go to rest for a while after the mission, and chatting about the gossip about who happened to them......

just didn't talk about today's bloody battle, let alone those teammates who should have sat next to him and chatted easily.

It seems to be very ruthless, and it seems that it has forgotten about the teammates who used to fight side by side.

Perhaps, they are used to this feeling.

Or perhaps, I didn't mention it, but I didn't want to mention it, I didn't want to mention it, and I didn't dare to mention it.

Although many of the mercenaries can retire alive, although it is likely that they are missing arms and legs, the high income savings brought by the mercenaries' reckless and high-risk risks are enough for them to retire in their old age.

Although there are many people who can retire alive, there are also many mercenaries who die on the mission.

Perhaps, the joy and relaxed appearance at this time are the tacit understanding between them, right? Holding up a smile is not only for the other person, but also for yourself.

Tong Xi, who was quietly sitting in front of the bonfire and observing the people, sighed in his heart.

Unlike others who sit on the ground, Tong Xi has a stool to sit on.

Ellie had already stumbled out of the carriage to get the little stool out of the carriage.

"Come, Xiaoxi, this is for you." Hearing someone calling behind her, Tong Xi turned around and found that it was Prince Bowen holding a simple plate made of large leaves, and stood behind her at some point.

Inside the plate was a steaming rabbit leg, which was roasted to a golden brown brown and the grease was still sizzling.

"Thank you, Brother Berwen." Tong Xi was not polite, he still had a warm smile on his face that had not changed for thousands of years, and took it with both hands.

Berwen returned to one of the campfires in the distance and sat down, "If I didn't know you two were brother and sister, I thought you were interested in her." Brooke joked.

"Huh? What's wrong? Seeing that Berwen beside him didn't pay attention to himself, just frowning and not knowing what he was thinking, Brooke asked with his elbow against Berwen beside him.

"Huh?" Bowen was stunned for a moment, then looked up with his eyes as if he was recalling something, and his tone was full of questions,

"Delusion? I always feel that Xiaoxi doesn't seem to like me very much. As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head again,

"It's not right to say you don't like it...... But there's always a sense of rejection......" Berwen said to himself, confused.

"What? You're neurotic, aren't you? Does Xiaoxi reject you? Brooke looked confused.

"Although Xiaoxi's attitude has always been very good and she accepts my care, that feeling is ......"

"Well...... Maybe I'm nervous....... Berwen shook his head again.

Berwen can be said to be the most competitive of all the princes, and as a candidate for the heir to the empire, Berwen has known how to weigh the pros and cons since he was a child, and knows how to distinguish who is useful to him.

Starting from the identity of the heir of the empire, it is very important to have a good light system with Tong Xi, and Tong Xi's status in the Austin Empire is even higher than that of most of the official princes and princesses.

The reason is very simple, that is, because her father is powerful, in terms of personal force alone, I believe that Dean Owen of the Magic Branch of the Austin Magic Academy can compare with it, and not only personal force, but also Prince Riel's several layers of identity are very weighty.

First of all, Riel is the Prince, the younger brother of Austin VII, and having his support can influence at least some of Austin VII's decisions.

Second, Prince Riel has another identity, that is, the dean of the martial arts branch of the Austin Demon Martial Academy! What is the Martial Arts Branch of Austin Magic Academy? Sixty percent of the senior generals of the Austin Empire's army are students from the Austin Magic Academy! In other words, sixty percent of the senior generals are students of Prince Riel! What a terrible influence! This is one of the main reasons why Arrail can sit firmly in the first position in the military.

Third, Prince Riel holds the power of the Austin Imperial Capital City Guard! Perhaps the Austin Imperial Capital doesn't have the largest number of city guards stationed in any city, but it's definitely the most elite! The imperial capital is a crucial place, so the city guards stationed there must be elites.

From the last few points, Austin VII even handed over the military power under his nose and his own safety to Rare! It is enough to see the trust that Austin VII placed in him.

And Prince Riel especially dotes on Tong Xi, the only daughter, which is something that everyone in the imperial capital knows, so in the imperial capital, Tong Xi's status will be close to several princes who have hope of inheriting the throne.

Even these princes have to please her with a good voice. There's no way, who let the family have a powerful father!

I have known each other since I was a child, went to school together, and secretly observed since I was a child, and Bowen still knows Tong Xi very well.

Even though Tong Xi seemed to be smiling brightly at everyone and looking like he was easy to get along with, Bowen could still feel the gap from it.

Although he said that he could feel it, he couldn't tell what was wrong, after all, Tong Xi's smile looked exactly the same, but his feelings seemed unfounded.

It's her.

Bowen turned his head to look at Xi'er, who was sitting slightly against Tong Xi,

is obviously an inconspicuous princess, but she can be appreciated.

Princess? In the palace, there are many worthless princesses, like this princess whose mother has a low status, and her fate is almost determined at birth.

Bowen looked at Tong Xi from afar and turned his head and smiled at Xi'er beside him, as if he was saying something,

I can still feel it, that smile seems to be different for her......
