"Alan, isn't Sersi back yet?" Kane reined in his mount and greeted with a cold salute. www.biquge.info He turned over and dismounted, and untied four newly hunted wild pigeons from the saddle with an unimaginable disappointment and tiredness in his eyes.

"yes, it's almost noon. Alan looked up at the sun in response.

Due to the unexpected situation last night, in order not to be discovered, the four had to evacuate to the west of the dry forest. The good thing is that they can make a fire to roast meat, eat cooked food, or ride horses farther away to hunt for prey and wild fruits, but they prefer to keep an eye on the ancient temple.

Kenny took the pigeon from Kane, pulled out the dagger, absentmindedly bleed it and roasted it over the fire. He wanted to get news of Nina more than lunch, and although he was accustomed to waiting, on the night of the ruined temple, Alan brought the news of Nina's pregnancy, and he was so eager for the little life given by the gods that he even dreamed of his birth and smiled at himself. Of course, he also misses Nina and worries about her comfort all the time.

"Lord," said Camille, returning from the east as the wild pigeons roasted over the fire, "the birds told me that all the mobile posts in the woods had been withdrawn to the temple, and that the fellows had been assigned to carry down piles of incendiary weapons from their wagons. Now, dozens of blacksmiths, wearing gloves, threw those weapons into the furnace, and the fire was already burning, and almost everyone was watching in front of the furnace!"

"It looks like they've already started preparing for the Flame Sacrifice. Kane, who was on the side, leaned against the dead wood and muttered as he chewed mint leaves.

"How long do we have left, yours?" Alan turned to look at him.

"My father said that when the sword pierced his chest, the moon in the sky had never been so round. Kane spat out the mint leaf from his mouth, walked over to the campfire, picked up a roast pigeon and sniffed, "If nothing else, at midnight, tragedy will play out again in front of that damned temple." He took a bite of the half-baked pigeon and turned to look at Kenny, "Man, what are we going to do if Sersi doesn't come back?"

"He'll be back by midnight. Kenny continued to roast the remaining wild pigeons, "But the temple, how are we going to get in?

"The secret passage," Alan whispered, "the one that Sersi found." ”

"My lord, now that the temple is full of people, what's the use of having a secret passage? Camille roasted his hands and added a few new sticks of firewood.

"I went to see the day before yesterday, and the moss and cobwebs were intact in the secret passages, except for the traces of Sersi's crawling. Alan calmly analyzed, "If they knew about that secret passage, the previous guards would have sealed it up long ago, let alone let us find out, so the people who knew about it would have died long ago." ”

"The four of us go in and face hundreds of people?" Kane spat out the half-cooked wild pigeon meat and put it back on the shelf to roast, "Man, I don't think we'll come out alive, let alone add Linde's whole body to retreat, the soldiers of the Flame Legion are all carefully selected, and these hundred people are the elite of the elite, don't be delusional." ”

"If you have to have a plan, it is to capture the thief and capture the king first. Eren said, "When Selsey returns, we will enter through the secret passage, and when the sacrifice begins, we will act at the opportunity." Remember, we have only two targets, Linde and Eamon, if we can get Linde back, each of them will want to get out, and if we catch Iamon, then exchange him for Linde, preferably with a few good horses. ”

"It's as simple as that?"

"Or else?"

"Crazy!" Kane snorted, and sat down by the dead tree, ignoring Alan.

Lunch was spent in silence. Each of them was given a roasted pigeon, and Kenny roasted the pigeon's skin to a crispy crisp, even without any spices.

After dinner, Camille went to the east side of the woods to try to dig up some new news, and the rest of the three put out the campfire, and each sat down by the dead wood, and kept silent.

For Kenny, every second is a lot of suffering. He sat alone under the dead wood, away from his companions, looking out in the direction in which Sersi and Mio had left, hoping that the white wolf would appear in his sight, and that it would be better to sit on it, and he hoped that Sersi would bring back any news about Nina, even if it was bad..... No, it can't be bad, it has to be good news. He interrupted his thoughts.

So, until the sun went down, Sersi still did not return. The smell of roast meat crept into his nose, and Kenny stood up from the dead wood, stamped the numb soles of his feet, and turned to look into the distance. The extinguished bonfire was rekindled, and Kane was skinning the last hare, and the remaining three had been skewered by Alan with thicker twigs and roasted by the fire.

"Man, what are we going to do if Sersi doesn't come back?" Kane's hands were covered in blood, and he was now wiping them into a pile of dead leaves that had been used to start a fire, and Kenny looked up as he came into sight.

"Whether he comes back or not, we have to go in. Kenny sat down by the campfire and looked east of the woods.

Camille returned without good news. "The Flame Legion is done, Lord Kane. "All the weapons were thrown into the furnace, and ten blacksmiths frantically pulled the bellows to make a furnace of molten iron, and some white-robed fellows circled the stove while chanting incantations they did not understand, and the people stood bored all afternoon, as if they were not interested in the sacrifices." ”

"If Linde wasn't a descendant, the sword would have been re-refined into molten iron and turned into the edge of countless swords. Kane shrugged, "I don't know who made up that damn story, there is no such thing as a flaming sword in this world!"

"Alright, guys. Kenny unplugged the water bag and stabbed it, and the campfire was extinguished, and the surroundings became much darker.

"Why, man, don't wait for Sercy?" Kane asked, looking at the south that was already in the dark.

"You can actually not go, Kane. Kenny stood up and tethered the Eurety Steel Sword back to his waist as he said, "Either way, Lind is one of us, but you're different, you're Lord of your, and you're tasked with recovering your territory. Really, you should stay here and wait for Maurice's army, and then—"

"You're trying to turn me into a ruthless bastard?" Kane stood up, and Camille followed, but Alan sat still, not in the slightest sense of getting up.

"Alan. Kenny called softly.

"We should wait a little longer, for Sersi to come back. Alan looked at the black smoke rising from the embers, "If they don't save Nina, we just rush in, and if we are discovered, we will not be the only four of us....."

"But if we don't go, Linde will surely die. ”

"That's what you decided?"

Kenny scratched his beard irritably, his honey-colored eyes fixed on Allen. "Lead the way. He finally said.
