Scorched earth, sludge, blood, corpses, it seemed like everything in the forest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 InfoBecause of the fear of unknown beasts and traitors, Rachel's soldiers suffered heavy casualties in the darkness, and more than half of them were dead and wounded. Most of the rest have fled in all directions, and there are very few who still hold the belief of "protecting the general".

Of course, they all ended up being stabbed in the back by someone who didn't know if they were friend or foe.

"Hmm...... You have worked hard, but it is a pity that although the battle was successful, more than 70 people still died in the chaos. When you go back, report the situation here to the guy with the iron mask, without you and the more than seventy martyrs who died, Reliaga is probably going to come to an end. ”

Chang put the sword in his hand into the scabbard and looked at Rahil lying on the ground with a slight smile.

“...... What about you, General, and how shall we explain your merits?"

A soldier seemed to be very touched by this battle, and he who had been suspicious of Changbao before was now very respectful, and when asked for his opinion, he was extremely cautious.

"Huh, you say me?"

Chang looked at the soldier with some surprise, and the latter, who was flattered, was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

"I'm already the one who is leaving, is there any use for you to report my merits?"

There was silence.

As soldiers, they were always curious about the person in front of them. It stands to reason that His Majesty the King will not be able to treat him badly no matter what, and in this way, the future will definitely be bright, and it will be easy to get promoted and rich.

And this person is going to leave in the middle of this?

"Ah...... You all don't care, I'm not interested in the so-called honor, rather than looking at that mask made of iron all my life, I'd rather walk around this world and feel something I haven't experienced before. ”

Chang said, stepped forward, and picked up the jade pendant that had lost its strength.

"Actually...... I just paid attention, you don't need to think of me as great, after today, you and I will only be ordinary people...... Oh no, you're probably all going to be officers, and I'm still just a merchant...... We'll probably never see each other again. ”

After saying that, Chang turned around and walked in the opposite direction of Guiyue City.

"General!"

"General!"

The remaining twenty or so people suddenly exclaimed, not that they wanted to keep because they were reluctant, as subordinates, they were actually not qualified to make irresponsible remarks about their general's decision, but they all saw that behind the blue back, a woman rushed over with a dagger in her hand.

The dark purple pupils, emitting a faint light, like a beast, stared at Chang's back.

"Be respectful, angels of disaster. ”

In the blink of an eye, no, or in less than the blink of an eye, another figure had already appeared in front of Nozomi.

Black hair, bloody eyes, wearing a maid outfit. This costume originally looked like an inexplicable healing power, but there was an inexplicable sense of oppression on this woman. Her face is like frost, but her beautiful face has an expression that is unapproachable to outsiders, which makes people feel a chill when they see it.

Isn't a maid?

Yes, but not all maids only do housework.

"Poof—"

The dark blue blade pierced Nozomi's body. The next moment, the light attached to it began to "flow" onto Nozomi's body like a stream of water.

"Uhhhhhhh

"I really don't understand why that person created a divine pillar like you. Weak, incompetent, destined to suffer all kinds of pain since birth, it's really ...... It's sad!"

The black-haired maid casually pulled the sword out of Nozomi's body, and after it fell to the ground weakly, it sent out a terrifying black light with the sword, but flew back into Chang's scabbard.

And the man who was attacked was from beginning to end...... Didn't even look back.

...............................................................................................................

The night has gone deep, and only the residual lights remain.

In the king's bedchamber, a girl who looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old was sitting at her desk reading a book. Probably because she was too sleep-deficient, her dark circles were very heavy, and she was just a queen who should sit in the back and watch the play, but she seemed to be more tired than anyone else.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

Because she stayed up too often, Ovilea's brain, which was relatively weak in her body, couldn't turn a little, and it wasn't until the third time that someone outside called her that she raised her head a little confused.

“...... Come in. ”

Patting her face, Ovilia, who was already refreshed, began to straighten her messy hair.

Outside the door, as expected, it was the great general Zajira. This middle-aged man, who was already a little old, dragged his injured body to visit late at night, and every time he saw this scene, Ovilia felt a little heartache.

“...... General Zajira, you are still wounded, so in the middle of the night, let the soldiers come if you have any news. ”

Ovilia got up and helped Zajira, who was still a little difficult to walk.

"Her Highness Overlordia...... There is no time to rest! There is a big battle in the Forest of No Return on the front line, with the help of the forest beasts and the undercover forces of the army, Balowa's troops are broken! The enemy general Rachel is killed! Our army has only more than 70 casualties, and Balowa is overwhelmed, and is intercepted by Lord Aryo in Crescent City, and countless people are killed. Where is Your Majesty? I'm going to see him!"

Zajira looked excited, and asked anxiously when she looked around and saw no one.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty's words...... I think I've gone to the library......"

Ovilea, who was frightened by the other party, nodded out the window a little hesitantly, signaling that Iron Mask was no longer here.

"Yes, Your Majesty is still tired so late, Your Highness Ovilia, you rest first, and I will go to Your Majesty first. ”

As soon as he had said that, the wounded man ran out at a speed that even a healthy person like Ovilia marveled at, and even knocked down a guard around the bend......

“...... Really. ”

Ovilia sighed helplessly, closed the door and slowly walked to the bed, taking the pillow away......

“...... Before, I was disgusted by the will you imposed on others because you, as an outsider, wanted Lilia to marry someone she didn't even know. ”

Next to the bed, a petite golden figure was sitting there.

"But now, after learning the truth of the matter, I really ...... A little sympathetic to you......"

In the moonlight, the metal mask in Ovilea's hand became particularly conspicuous......
