Chapter II

In the Merwitz Army, Edmund was not the only hairy boy this time, but another beautiful boy accompanied Edmund with the army. He was taller than Edmund, with a hint of cleanliness between his eyebrows. If you just look at the faces, it is really difficult to distinguish between male and female.

After Edmund left Merwiitz, he hummed a little tune and jumped. The joy was undisguised, after all, this time it could be regarded as a real acceptance of the military order.

The beautiful boy who followed Edmund to the battlefield drove his horse to meet Edmund.

"Why is the prince so happy?"

Edmund was stunned when he heard this, and immediately became serious: "Where am I happy, I am worried now." ”

"yes, then why?"

The two rode to the foot of a large tree, and Edmund dismounted before he continued, "Father has a task for me, do you want to go with him?"

The beautiful boy tied the reins of the two horses to the branches, and without waiting to turn around, he spoke: "Of course I want to go, I want to protect you!"

"You're protecting me? Ha... Haha......"

Edmund clutched his stomach and shook his head, not agreeing with what he said.

"I see, let me protect you beautiful lady when the time comes. ”

The beautiful young man looked at Edmund who was smiling, and he was both angry and ashamed: "I'm your cousin, so good, I'm also a dignified prince, you... You..."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, my cousin Teda. ”

Edmund saw that Tedda was really angry, and he was so frightened that he quickly apologized to others, he didn't want to alarm his father because of this, after all, his father still loved his cousin very much.

Tedda saw that Edmund had already apologized, so there was no need to make him angry: "You are not allowed to tease me verbally in the future, tell me quickly, what task did the king of the town send you?" ”

Edmund breathed a sigh of relief: "Father let us go and set fires, it's fun, right?"

"When and where to set fire?"

"Well, I still have to wait for my father's notice, maybe it's a while, maybe it will be a long time. As he spoke, Edmund lay down leaning against the tree.

Tedda wasn't as laid-back as Edmund, and when he heard the word arson, he thought things were wrong.

"Then you always have to know where to set the fire, right?"

Edmund raised his hand and pointed to the enemy camp not far away: "I naturally know this, it's on the other side." ”

"This can't be done, you are a prince, how can you risk your life!" Teda felt that his blood was cold after hearing this, and he stomped his foot to find Melwiez: "No, no, no, I will go to the king of the town and say that you can't go!"

Edmund saw that Tedda was leaving, so he quickly got up from the ground and grabbed Tedda's wrist: "Can't go, can't go, Daddy finally sent me something to do, don't go and stir up yellow for me." ”

Edmund didn't wait for Tedda to speak, and hurriedly said: "My good cousin, you don't want to think about who taught our kung fu, others don't understand my skills, you still don't understand." ”

"But..."

"It's nothing, my father said that there is no joke in the army, and it is not good to change the order at night. ”

"But..."

"But what, didn't you say you could protect me, could it be that you were just joking with me?"

"Of course not, I'm just worried, after all, you're..."

"I know, I know, cousin, think about it, my father has been fighting for decades, and since he dares me to go, it proves that he has a spectrum in his heart, what else do you have to worry about. ”

After hearing this, Teda did stop his steps, and pondered carefully in his heart before speaking: "What you said is reasonable, so let's wait?"

Edmund finally relented, nodded heavily and said, "Wait!"

......

It was the beginning of spring, and the night was as cold as ice, Edmund wanted to take a nap, and Tedda also found two or three felts and his cloak to cover Edmund's body, but he couldn't make a fire at the moment, even if he wanted to, he couldn't sleep.

Edmund glared at a soldier walking towards him, and his original leisurely complacency vanished without a trace in an instant.

"See His Royal Highness the Prince, see Prince Taida. ”

Edmund nodded: "Get up and speak, my father has made me ready to act." ”

"Back to His Highness, the King of the Town ordered His Highness to personally lead fifty people to carry out the arson mission. ”

"That's... Does my father have anything else to say?...... Forget it, I'll go see my father in person. Edmund got up as he spoke, intending to pull his horse and go to Melwiz.

"Your Highness stays, the king of the town has ordered, Your Highness doesn't need to go over, just carry out the task. ”

Edmund thought to himself that Daddy was so relieved that the sun was really coming out in the west.

TEDA also felt strange: "Do you want to leave now?"

"Back to the prince's words, the humble post has been arranged according to the order of the king of the town, and now I am waiting for His Royal Highness and the prince. ”

"Lead the way. ”

Edmund was about to tear off the reins of his horse tied to the tree, when he heard another voice in his ears.

"Your Highness, we are not allowed to ride horses here, because the target of the operation is too big, so we have to go on foot. ”

"Oh my God... Okay, okay, that's you. ”

The soldier who had come to hear Edmund relieved his heart.

"Please come with your humble post. ”

In a few moments, Edmund was already in the group that had gone to set fire, he and Tedda took off their usual armor, changed into ordinary military uniforms, and each carried a bucket of kerosene on their backs and headed towards the enemy camp.

......

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was the time to kill, and their group had already arrived outside the enemy camp without spending too much time.

Neither Edmund nor Tedda had spoken along the way, for they really didn't know what to say, and now that they were already in the boat, it was impossible to regret it.

Edmund's mood now can be described as mixed, a little inexplicably excited, a little apprehensive, excited and a little scared.

"Stop!"

The leader suddenly raised his arm and shouted in a low voice, which really startled Edmund, whose brain was blank, but fortunately it was night, and it would be a shame if it was in broad daylight.

The leader began to deploy the formation team, and he did not send more people because Edmund and Tedda were royal nobles, and he did not even organize the two into a team.

He divided the fifty men into five groups, one group of exactly ten, assigned the location of the fire, and arranged the gathering place after the retreat.

Edmund and Teddar didn't say anything, and when the leader was deployed, they followed their own team and began to move.

......

Edmund followed his party to a place, and before they could climb over the fence, they saw an enemy soldier who was relieving himself.

He was a little panicked, but found that the enemy army was only concerned with a small solution, proving that he had not been discovered, and after a little relief, he saw that the person next to him had quietly touched out.

Edmund saw that the man had already taken out the dagger, and saw that the moment the moonlight shone on the dagger, it suddenly glowed reddish.

"Damn, it's really killing!"
