By the time the points of light came into view, they were clinging to the edge of the forest. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Damn, why are so many people here? Didn't you say this was your most secret sacrifice?" Kenny asked Kane, who was crouching aside. He had just made a rough calculation, and in the place illuminated by the firelight, there were about a hundred people, of which the knights were the majority, and most of the rest were priests in white robes, and there were some carriages mixed in, and the number of people on the carriages was unknown.

"When I catch that old fellow Aemon, I'll help you ask him. Kane spoke with his gaze locked to someone in the distance, and his voice had never been so deep.

Camille hid behind a stout, dead tree, his hand reaching into his robes and scratching at it. There seemed to be many fleas in the grass where he had just slept, but he had long since disagreed, and nothing was worse for him than the water dungeon in Karta. "Lord, what does Linde look like? ”

"Don't probe, Linde must be in their hands. That's what Allen said.

"Kenny, let's go, the first one is approaching us. Kane felt from behind the tree into the grass where Kenny was crouching, "I'm not the only one who knows about this path, and if they walk through the orchard, they'll find us." ”

"No, wait," Kenny said softly, "we'll have to figure out how many men there are, how many knights there are, how many archers, and best of all if Imon plans to deploy them." He glanced around, his gaze finally returning to the team in the distance, "Listen, there are only four of us now, and Sersi doesn't know when he will be back, but even if he comes back, there will only be five of us, but we are about to face a hundred or more." ”

"Scared?" Alan scoffed softly.

"Man, now is not the time to gas. ”

"No one is angry with you here. ”

"There's one in front of me, and I hope it's an illusion. Kennemer counted the group that had turned east, and said, "Besides, don't expect Camille to be of any help, this place can only attract a flock of crows, or turtledoves, not even vultures, let alone lions and tigers." ”

"I never put my hopes in other people. Alan put away his smile, "I only believed in myself when I was younger, Kenny Dalton. ”

Listening to the two Daltons' arguing, Kane's eyebrows furrowed. "All right, both," said him, "the enemy is ahead, but you are quarreling here, and we will have to come up with a feasible plan later, and if nothing else, to-morrow will be the night of the full moon." ”

In an instant, it seemed that the entire dry forest held its breath, and Kane's words were like a sharp sword, cutting through the murmuring strife. Then, the endless silence lasted for a long time, until the group disappeared from view, and the four people hiding in the shadows did not leave.

When they return to the site, which is so rudimentary that there are no tents, Kenny and Kane begin an hour-long argument. “..... If you want me to say, we shouldn't have six people coming, one of them has to save people, and the remaining five face dozens of knights. Man, if Eren doesn't tell me, you'll tell me if we're an ancient giant or a dragon sorcerer?, what's the joke?" The latter wanted to put an end to the argument.

"Kane, did you say before that the Flame Sacrifice is the most sacred and secret thing in your, and very few people can participate, but now?" Kenny paced back and forth in the mud, "I even saw a few dogs in the team just now, even your dog can participate, what kind of secret is this?"

"That's what you said, my lord. Camille apparently had to stand on his lord's side, "In the wooden house of that deserted town, I was brushing my horses, and your own soldiers were oiling their armor, and we were outside the door, and we heard it." ”

"That's a hound. Kane retorted.

"Whatever the dog, all I know is that there are fifty knights in that team, plus fifty archers. Kenny scratched his beard in annoyance, "If you give me these hundred people, let alone that little manor, even if you add this forest, I can't even fly in if I keep it!"

"I didn't make the plan. Kane's face was full of grievances.

"But you're behind the plan," Kenny sighed, "and how would I have allowed this ridiculous plan if you hadn't told me that the Flame Sacrifice was so mysterious that even your mother hadn't participated in it?"

Kane doesn't argue, but turns to look at the perpetrator, Kenny follows, and so does Camille. For a while, the eyes of the three of them focused on Allen. The person being targeted leaned back against the trunk of the tree, without saying a word, and looked around at everyone with an expressionless face.

"Man, we mean, you need to say something. Kane reminded him.

Alan responded with a yawn.

"What do you think, Lord Allen?" asked Camille, with a strong spirit, "Tomorrow night is the night of the full moon, but now there are only four of us. You see, I don't have any fighting power other than to talk to animals, but in this hellish forest, except for fleas and lice, it's hard to see even ants, let alone wolves or tigers, and you're so sure that Linde is in their hands. Still is..... You didn't plan to save him?"

"We'll have to wait. Alan opened his mouth impatiently.

"Who are you waiting for?" asked Kenny.

"Your wife, and Sercy. ”

"And after that?"

Alan let out a heartfelt sigh. "If they keep their word, it will be good, and the six of us may be able to save Linde. But if Sersi comes back with Mio, we'll collect the body of the poor little one whose birthmark is wrong in shape and place. ”

"What, perhaps, what about your plan?" Kenny exclaimed, "When you abandoned the old seminary, you said that the six of us would be able to rescue Linde." ”

"That's just to comfort you, I don't have a plan at all. Allen's words left the three stunned. "Honestly, little Linde is indeed very likable, but she is more important than Nina, isn't she?" Kenny was silent. In other words, if your weren't as trustworthy as Kane said, Sersi and Mio hadn't intercepted Nina..... Kenny, have you thought about that?"

"Of course I did. Kenny replied without thinking.

"So, I had to keep Nina safe before Linde, but then it turned out that it was almost impossible, because the damn priest was pinching on time. Alan poured out the troubles of the previous days.

"Actually, we shouldn't have six people coming here at all. Kane couldn't help but pick up the conversation, "If you take Maurice and his knights of the living dead, or Kenny's coalition army, or even Camille's wolves." We shouldn't put ourselves in this situation. ”

"No way, there are eyes in the station. Alan shrugged, "If we take any of them away, we will attract the suspicion of the enemy, including Camille's wolf pack, and in this case, not only will Nina, but even Linde not be seen." Besides, if there is a pack of living dead in this forest, or a coalition army, or a howling wolf, do you think we can stay until now and remain undetected?"

"Eyes?" Kenny frowned.

"Harwin, that damn old servant. Alan said helplessly, "Who can guarantee that he won't be able to get in touch with the Flame Sacrifice?"
