Chapter III
For Edmund, this was the first time he had seen what murder was up close, and it would be a deception to say that he was not afraid.
Fortunately, he didn't blurt out exclamation in that scene just now, otherwise it would really be a big disaster.
Although Edmund behaved normally, the people around him didn't think so, for fear that His Highness would suddenly scream.
"Your Highness, please forgive me for being rude, and do not speak loudly now. ”
Edmund nodded, lowered his voice and asked, "Why do you want to kill him, can't you just knock him out?"
"Your Highness, it is not child's work to march and fight, if we knock him out, if he wakes up, it will be the most fatal for us, so we must minimize the risk. ”
"Okay, okay. Edmund coped perfunctorily, and now he regretted it in his heart.
If it weren't for his own recklessness, he wouldn't have encountered such bad luck, but now he has actually killed a person, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not kill people after this, I just hope that they can successfully complete the task and go back to the errand.
It's a pity that it backfired, there were at least a dozen people who cut their throats and killed them along the way, and it seems that this errand of setting fire was not easy, and the only thing worth being happy about was that he didn't eat dinner today......
Edmund came to the designated position with the others in a depressed mood, and he feebly sprinkled kerosene on everything around him, except for him, the rest of the people had already finished scattering the kerosene, and now there was only one last step left.
"Don't you light a fire?" Edmund asked quietly, throwing away the oil drum in his hand and walking over to a soldier.
"Your Highness, you want to set fire?"
"Of course, I'm here to set the fire, and I'm going to do it. ”
Edmund, who was a little immature, was a little excited, because he had suppressed all the way and could now finally play with fire.
The soldier handed the flint to Edmund: "Your Highness, please light the fire, and then we will return the way we came." ”
"Okay, okay. Edmund took the flint and activated the flint in his hand without the slightest hesitation, and threw it directly onto the kerosene that had been sprinkled with clean movements.
In an instant, the fire burst into flames, along with other areas with kerosene.
"Who are you!!"
Edmund was startled again, only to see a group of soldiers with spears appear in front of him, and before Edmund could react, the people around him had already been killed, leaving only one person to protect him.
It can really be said that the white blade came out, and when it came back, it had become a red edge.
Edmund's lips were a little dry, this time the fight was clearer than any previous time, and his hard-working skills were forgotten for a while.
If it weren't for the fact that he was protected by someone at this moment, he might have been stabbed through the body by the enemy's spear.
"Retreat!"
"Oh, good, good. As soon as Edmund thought about turning and leaving, he saw his own man lying in a pool of blood.
"I'm going to save him!"
"Come back soon!"
Edmund ignored the persuasion of the people behind him, and went crazy to save people, and when he arrived, the people were already dead, and there was no place for him to save them.
"Let's go, our mission is complete, and this place is not suitable for long. ”
Edmund's companion's voice rang in his ears, and his eyes were a little helpless, because the people who were still standing alive just now had already fallen in a pool of blood, and his companion had also broken two.
Edmund bit his lower lip so hard that he shuddered and instantly became much clearer.
"These people..."
"Your Highness is really not suitable to stay here for a long time, this is the battlefield, except for fighting is death, let's go. ”
......
The fire spread quickly, and the rebel camp was instantly on fire, and the screams were mixed with the sound of firefighting, and there was nothing but chaos here.
Edmund just thought that he could come and set fire to play, and he also thought that he could fight a few fights in addition to setting fires, so that he could take credit in front of his father, who knew that this group of people were all doing real things.
Edmund gradually found that on the way to evacuate, there were many rebels, and although he didn't want to kill, he didn't want to be killed, so he still fought in desperation.
In the end, he was trained by Kuzhi and Tatar, and he entered a state of battle in a short time.
He doesn't kill people, he just stuns people with the back of a knife, but the people who protect him don't think so, they all uphold the principle of never letting go of the knife if they can make up for it.
However, the matter has come to this point, and Edmund is not allowed to go crazy, so it is the best policy to fight and retreat and get out as soon as possible.
As he kept fighting, he had already changed his weapon, he snatched a spear from his enemy, knocked people unconscious, and sent another mending knife to his companion.
"Hey, who is that, don't you think there are a lot of enemies!" Edmund gradually sensed that something was wrong, and after carefully discerning the direction, he realized that he had gone wrong.
"Don't panic, we swear to escort His Highness out of trouble!"
"Don't call me nonsense, you want me to die early!"
"Temple... I don't dare to do it, it's too difficult for us to break through head-on, so we can only retreat!"
"Retreat you big-headed ghost, how can you retreat from the sea of fire behind!"
"Don't worry, they are messier than us now, and they will definitely be able to get out. ”
"Then can you stop mending the knife, I knocked them out, can't you do this?"
"Can't!"
"I didn't say it, go in that direction?" Edmund seemed to have some black lines on his forehead, he didn't expect that since he came to the barracks, he would meet people who contradicted him everywhere.
"Head north. ”
"My good man, I'm really going to let me go to the sea of fire. Edmund was not pleased, but he followed his companion all the way to the north.
Sure enough, as they walked all the way north, there were indeed fewer enemies, but they were getting hotter and hotter, and at the moment the smoke was billowing and pungent and unbearable.
"The thief is gone!"
Edmund was stunned for a moment, glanced behind him, and saw that there was only one person.
He stopped his retreat and shouted, "I said boy, there are eight of us, you alone, don't be bored." ”
After listening to Edmund's words, the little soldier did not show the slightest fear, but raised the spear in his hand.
"I, Bet Punk, have not made an inch of merit since I joined the army, and you thieves are the proof of my merit!"
Although this young man is in the costume of an ordinary soldier, he has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is quite heroic.
He was the recruit who wanted to go to war, but he was assigned the position of a guard to stand guard, and the veteran who stood guard with him had long since disappeared.
Edmund couldn't be too wrong about Bate's age and him, and it would be a pity to die here.
"Boy, you have such a big mouth, no one is allowed to give me a shot, he is mine!" Edmund did not give his companion behind him time to speak, and at this moment he had already raised his gun and stepped out.
A cold light flashed in Bate's eyes, and he immediately raised his gun without saying a word, and instantly fought fiercely with Edmund's hand-to-hand soldiers.
Between the fights, Edmund lowered his voice and persuaded Bate: "Boy, those behind me are all murderous and don't blink, listen to people's advice to eat well, you hurry up and leave." ”
"Hmph, you dare to underestimate me, I'm the big demon king in our village, isn't it like playing with a few of you. ”
Edmund is in the stage of youth and vigor, his temper is like dry wood, if he dares to encounter a little spark, it can burn in an instant.
"I'm bah, I dare to brag in front of Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu beats you to death!"
The group of onlookers were also happy, and they didn't know who started first, so they all began to talk about it.
"Who do you think will win?"
"It must be Your Highness, I bet on Your Highness to win. ”
"With His Highness's soft hand, I will press that guard to win. ”
"What are you doing!"
"Captain Soldier..."
The people who retreated with Edmund wilted for a moment when they saw the soldiers' long words.
"Ahem, twenty gold coins, I support Your Highness. ”
