――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

A blazing golden sun slowly rose in the east, and the light once again sprinkled the land.

Alleyne sat firmly on his horse, looking back at the land that had just been baptized by war, and the ground was littered with the corpses of people, water thieves, mercenaries, and devastation.

Kradus steered his horse and galloped forward, the fierce horse raised its front hooves and quickly pulled the spear from the corpse, the blood slowly dripping, and the tip of the freshly bathed spear glittered in the early morning sun.

The body of the water thief was picked up and fell again, and fell into the dust of the dirt. No one cared, and no one cared, and a sudden surge of fear swelled up in Aren's heart, as if he had foreseen the story ahead.

There was a sudden slam on his shoulder. "What, are you scared?" Rogge was wiping the blade with a rag, the blood on the tip of the knife was slowly wiped away, and the shiny surface of the knife was revealed.

Alleyn didn't answer, for he didn't know how to answer the other party, and what he was afraid of was not the battlefield where the blade was swung and his head was dropped, but that one day he would become a stranger to himself.

"It's not your first time on the battlefield. The freelancer pointed sharply suddenly.

Alleyne nodded. He did take part in several skirmishes during the time he served as a caravan escort with the caravan. But this is the first time he has personally experienced such a battlefield of more than 100 people.

"That's what I did when I first went to war," Rogge laughed to himself. "It's strange, isn't it? The person who killed was obviously a water thief and a wicked person, but there was still a sense of guilt in his heart, as if he had done something that God would not allow. ”

Rogge's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if he was remembering something. "I was terrified and screamed like a woman in horror. Once upon a time, as a young man, I was full of hope and longed to go into battle to kill the enemy and protect everyone. ”

"But when I actually killed a man with my own hands, I honestly didn't dare look at him again. The feeling of a life ending in my hands was terrible, worse than killing me. Rogge let out a sigh of relief. "I don't know how I spent my first night, lying in bed with all the faces of the dead people coming to mind, as if to say, 'Look, it's all your fault.' We've all had parents, wives and daughters, but now that you've killed us, what are they going to do? ”

"At that time, I also showed a compassionate expression like you. Rogge's tone became witty and relaxed again, but there was a hint of loneliness.

"You're enough!" Ellen roared. "I don't need you to remind me, because I'm a mercenary, and mercenaries fight for profit, for money. But he didn't want others to think that mercenaries were ruthless and cold-blooded.

Rogge didn't seem to expect the other party's sudden anger, and was suddenly a little shocked, but soon his face softened again, and he laughed and said: "You kid is a little interesting, very much the style of Lao Tzu back then!"

"What's the matter!" Karadus, who was still in the distance, suddenly flew into his arms.

Rogge waved his hand: "It's okay, go ahead with you!"

However, the gray horse of Karadus was still wandering, refusing to leave. Rogge frowned again: "Karadus is also a good young man, but it's a pity that he is a grandmother." ”

"Alright, boy, if you go through it a few more times, you won't put on a girl's face now. You should get drunk in the tavern of Zenda so that your mind doesn't get cranky all day long. ”

Freerider Rogge patted Alleyne again, then tugged on the reins and drove away.

At this moment, the bounty hunter Wayne drove forward from not far behind, slowly parallel to him. "Aren't you, your name is Aren't you?"

Alleyne nodded. "Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"I heard that you defeated Instructor Kai's proud disciple Karadus, that kid is still a big boy, but there are few people in Chanda City who are his opponents except for the two famous gladiators Dronton and Serena. ”

Alleyne could hear the meaning of the other party's words, and he was praising himself around the corner. "It was just a fluke. Alleyne replied in a flat tone.

"It wasn't a fluke, but you defeated that kid with your martial arts and wit. Wayne suddenly invited. "Whether or not to join my team, there is always a limit to the power of one person. ”

The corners of Aren's mouth lifted slightly, "Follow you as a bounty hunter?" he smiled and shook his head, "I think I prefer a free-spirited, uninhibited profession. ”

"If you change your mind, feel free to come to me. Wayne Wayne paused deliberately and observed the other party's expression. "Tell me if you're in trouble!" said Wayne as he led six of his men off on horseback.

In the vast wilderness, there was really only one person left, and the golden sun in the northeast was already hanging high, and the golden glow was sprinkled on his childish face.

His horse kicked its front hooves restlessly, kicking up a cloud of dust, and he let it go, and in the distance Karadus and Rog's gang were counting the dead and the spoils.

Several mercenaries used shovels to dig a hole in an open dirt floor to bury the bodies of their comrades and enemies.

The only difference is that the bodies of their companions are buried in separate pits and piled with stones.

The corpses of the enemies would be buried en masse, which was a mercy compared to allowing the vultures and beasts to eat.

Alleyne and his horses were bathed in golden sunlight, their backs stretched long, and their long silhouettes were a painting cast on the wilderness.

Alleyne suddenly remembered the morning that woke up from the Zenda Tavern: I, with an iron sword and a cloth robe. I don't think I'll ever go back to that time, yes, never. Even if I was so within reach at the time.

After clearing the battlefield, they set off to rush back to Chanda.

The sacrifice this time is so heavy, but the harvest is just as rich, at least in the short term, Ellene's pockets will not be shy.

Before leaving, the freelancer Captain Rog suddenly grabbed him and said to him seriously: "You are very good, young man, I am optimistic about you." You definitely have the ability to organize a team on your own. ”

Alleyne didn't quite remember what he had said, but it should have been to the effect that he was drowsy from Chief Rogge's tirade, and all he could hear was these words in his drowsiness.

The main reason, of course, was that Alleyne was so heroic in this operation that he was exhausted for several days.

However, Karadus, who was as heroic as he was, was ten times more active. This guy must be the kind of stupid guy who is energetic as long as he strips off his shirt.

The chief said that he would never dare to go west to the east, and the chief said that Shangdao Mountain would never go to the sea of fire.

All in all, he was a good boy who worked hard and complained, and was busy moving here and there all day long, and because of the drastic decline in the number of combatants, Rogge used the remaining fighters almost like a keradus.

He used Kradus as an indefatigable animal, and he proclaimed that all the warriors should learn from the good boy of Karadus.

Because he had a hard-working spirit in him, as if the exploiting class should have said it, the only trace of respect that Ellen had for Rogge disappeared without a trace.

However, Karadus in the audience was moved to tears, and vowed to work harder to repay Chief Rogge's kindness.

It was on that day that Kratos finally had the honor and excitement to take over the work of ten people, and since that day on, Alleyne has not been able to talk to him again.

Looking at Rog's horsewhip, Kradus ran like a hound loyal to his commander, and Ellen, who was in the tent to catch up on sleep, could only pray and cheer for him with more than enough strength.

In any case, the rest of the days are as plain and simple as harvesting the heads of water thieves.

A few days have passed in the blink of an eye, and they have returned to Zenda.
