Alberta was afraid that the magician was not "completely" dead, so he pulled out the bayonet from the magician's chest and stabbed him in the stomach several times...... Every time the magician was stabbed, blood kept spitting out of his mouth...... When the magician's body stopped twitching, Alberta was sure that he couldn't die anymore...... Alberta sat down on the ground and began to take off his coat and slap the flames that had been burning on his left leg as hard as he could......

When the flames had died down, Alberta struggled to his feet, taking off his uniform and heavy uniform. He looked at his left leg, which was covered in blood and charred flesh. The whole leg was already a bloody blur......

Alberta pulled out his dagger and sliced the clothes that were stuck to the flesh and removed the shredds from the flesh, an act that nearly knocked Alberta out of pain......

After about seven or eight minutes, Alberta cleaned the wound, then took out a jug full of water and poured it on his charred left leg, although Alberta was shaking from the severe pain, he still persevered in the action.

Alberta then applied ointment and bandages to his wounds. It's autumn and it's very cold. Alberta's pants were burned to the ground, and the ointment was applied to his legs, and he felt a sharp pain that pierced his heart, as if someone was tearing at his flesh and skin little by little with a small saw...... Alberta looked at the wound in his abdomen again, and due to the concussive impact of the explosion from the fireball created by the magician, a large piece of rubble the size of a thumb had been struck into Alberta's left abdomen.

Alberta endured the pain as he thrust his dagger into the muscles of his abdomen, blood gushing out like a spring...... Alberta's screams of intense pain were almost a magnet for enemy soldiers within a kilometer radius. But luckily, Alberta is the only one within a kilometer radius.

Alberta plucked the stone out, he looked at a bloody hole the size of his thumb, his hands trembled, and with the cotton that had been added to the leather coat of his military uniform, he dipped the cotton in the ointment, although his vision was extremely unclear, and his hands were constantly shaking from the sharp pain and the lack of clarity of his eyes...... But he still dipped the ointment on the cotton, and then he breathed rapidly, and finally he made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and stiffened the wound in his abdomen with the cotton dipped in the ointment. He felt the sharp pain of someone cutting flesh with a knife—just as he had put the cotton pad into the wound......

Then the lower half of his body was infected with blood from his abdomen, and his face looked like a dead man. He kept the last of his senses and wrapped a bandage around his abdomen......

He then put on the khaki military shirt of the Epalai defenders, but his pants were already charred, and he put the magician's pants on his body. During this time, he found letters and medals in the pants of the enemy magician, along with a photograph on them. He took these, opened the letter, and saw that it was written: "My dear Esses Mer. My love, my wife...... When I thought that in three hours I would be able to send you this letter, my heart had flown from the battlefield to my home......"

Alberta turned the page and saw the back: "Dear Esses Mer, I love you, I can even think that after the victory in the war, I will become a captain!" At that time, I could go to the Imperial Academy of Magic, and I could continue to serve in the army...... The main thing is that I can receive a large sum of money, oh my wife, thought of it? At that point, you won't have to live with your kids in a leaky basement and endure the smell of the sewers...... My son can also attend the Imperial Military Academy because of his fatherhood, oh my wife, think of those golden coins...... I ......"

Alberta looked down, and the third page was too much to read because of the blood infestation, but he saw the end of the third page: "Kiss my daughter for me, Amel Setex, note: love his father and love your husband." ”

Alberta looked at the Wizard's Medal, an Imperial Order of Merit of the Third Class. He looked at the photo, which showed a beautiful woman holding a two-year-old girl crying.

Alberta choked up: he put the photo inside the jacket pocket of the dead magician lieutenant without pants. Then he used his right hand, the same hand that he had held on the left hand of the magician, and then he stabbed the magician in the stomach with the bayonet he held, stabbing the magician's hand to death, and closing the magician's eyes...... Alberta's right hand was covered in blood, thus leaving two blood stains on the magician's face......

Alberta turned his head to look, and by this time the sky was already gray and dawn had arrived...... There is no sunrise today because dark clouds have dispersed, obscuring and enveloping the sun......

……

Alberta sat down on the ground, and he found a ruin, and he sat in it, and he slowly took out a cigarette, which belonged to the magician, and he took a sharp puff of it, and then the strong, pungent smell made him choke and cough violently. He sat in the rubble, in a place that could be called a "bunker" for the time being, and tossed his cigarette aside...... He was in severe pain all over his body, so he curled up and hid in a corner beside him...... Fall asleep slowly......

In his dreams, he almost dreamed of a world free of wars and wars, where there were flowers, endless gardens, and kingdoms full of flowers......

Alberta woke up suddenly, he gasped hard, and then struggled to move, he felt a sharp pain in his legs, and he even felt a sharp pain in his whole body, like steel nails hitting his muscles...... So he stood up slowly, and he looked into the distance, and the sky was cloudy and dimly colored, and today there was no sun in the sky, and dark clouds were obscuring the sky, so that the sun was obscured and the sun could not be seen.

It seemed that everything was struggling in the dimness, Alberta looked around, where ash and dust were composed, and he remembered his mission to send a letter to the second battalion. He had to do it...... Hell, he didn't know why he took on this task, was he forced to be helpless? Or does he have some kind of sense of purpose?

He didn't think he had some sense of mission, on the contrary he had been fighting for almost two and a half days, he didn't know what he was fighting for, he just knew that if he didn't kill his enemy, his enemy would kill him......

In the distance, the gray smoke and dust slowly rose, the enemy artillery fire rang all night, and now that the sound of the artillery slowly stopped, Alberta could think that the colonel's position had been destroyed, his position had been lost, maybe there was nothing left but killing......

Alberta stood, but didn't get up, and he tried to stand up again, but he failed again...... But the third time, he finally struggled to his feet. He walked slowly towards the front, he didn't want to die, but he didn't know how far he could go with his near-dying body in tow.

As Alberta walked into the distance, he faintly saw three figures in the ruined city. He listened closely, and heard the sound of a woman crying again! He brace himself and watch carefully...... Ahead of them, two enemy soldiers in dark blue uniforms were spotted violently against a woman. Alberta held up his gun and quietly walked away...... But he seemed to have overheard the woman's near-death screams......

Alberta knew the scream, he knew it...... Because he has been on the verge of death countless times......

He looked at the gun in his hand, and tears welled up in his eyes...... He considered himself a coward at this time, like a lost dog...... He's furious, he wants to roar! At this moment, he vaguely seemed to see his girlfriend, his dead girlfriend, Alintha beside him, her body slowly and distantly turning into an illusory figure, and getting farther and farther away from him...... He knew he was hallucinating, perhaps because he was extremely tired, or maybe because he was on the verge of death himself......

But it was such a small thing, he raised his gun and immediately shot at the two violent soldiers!

One of the bullets almost hit a soldier in the neck! But the bullet grazed the soldier's ear...... The violent soldier was shot in the ear and his lobe was knocked off, and he covered his bloody ear and raised his gun to look around for the enemy......

At that moment, the attention of the two Imperial soldiers turned away from the woman, and they searched for Alberta with guns in hand. Suddenly, Alberta ran out of a corner, and Alberta, armed with a bayonet, stabbed one of the Imperial soldiers who had been wounded in the ear.

The Imperial soldier dodged as fast as he could, and Alberta stabbed into the air, and the Imperial soldier behind him fired a shot at Alberta, and Alberta was shot in the abdomen! Alberta was knocked to the ground, and just as the Imperial soldier with a rifle was about to pull the bolt to fire a second shot, Alberta took out a dagger and threw it at the Imperial soldier!

This stab stabbed the Imperial soldier in the head, and the Imperial soldier fell straight to the ground. Another Imperial soldier behind Alberta suddenly took out his bayonet and stabbed Alberta desperately, Alberta was hit in the abdomen, trying to stand up, but he didn't have enough strength, he saw that the Imperial soldier's bayonet was about to pierce his chest, he grabbed the Imperial soldier's hand with all his might, so as not to stab the Imperial soldier's bayonet into his chest...... Just as Alberta felt that his life was about to run out, his strength had run out, and he watched as the bayonets of the Imperial soldiers were about to plunge into his chest......

Blood suddenly flowed from the corners of the Imperial soldier's mouth...... Alberta was shocked to see his bayonet stabbing in from behind the Imperial soldiers...... Alberta came back to his senses and took a closer look, and it turned out that the woman had picked up Alberta's rifle with a bayonet that had fallen to the ground and stabbed him in the back of the Imperial soldier...... Due to the woman's exertion of force, Alberta could even see from the abdomen of an Imperial soldier, the muzzle of the rifle that had protruded into the soldier's body from the back, and the blood on the bayonet and the muzzle of the rifle......
