142. Who doesn't want to live
“…… After all, I was a knight at Baron Sidney's side, and I am only doing my duty as a reserve knight, and I don't expect anything from you, only that you can help me keep this secret......"
Surdak said as he found a door in the overturned magic caravan, he and Miss Hathaway moved Beatrice to the door panel, and the two walked in through the roof of the magic caravan that had been lifted, Surdak asked Miss Hathaway to stay outside, and set up a temporary altar for the sacrifice ceremony in the collapsed carriage, and sacrificed a demon head to the gods and demons, blessed Beatrice with the 'Blessed Body', and then blessed himself with the 'Blessed Shield'.
Not long after, Surdak stepped out of the caravan.
Miss Hathaway stood outside nervously, and was slightly relieved to see Surdak come out and not be unusual.
Surdak helped carry Beatrice out, Hathaway couldn't wait to walk into the collapsed carriage, and saw that the unconscious Beatrice's face was much more rosy, and the wound on his chest was obviously half-healed, and he looked at Surdak in surprise.
The two of them carried Beatrice, who looked a little better, out of the magic caravan.
At this time, Surdak realized that the red-haired female swordsman and several companions had already left the magic caravan and were about to climb over the hill and become part of the army fleeing to Handanar.
Only the noble knight with his broken leg and the craftsman bent on fighting the demon were left on the side of the magic caravan.
Miss Hathaway lowered the door panel, looked at the group of female swordsmen who had gone away, her delicate eyebrows were twisted together, and she said angrily, "Darcy. Christie, how could they leave us like this......"
The noble knight sitting on the grass seemed to know Miss Hathaway, and knew the red-haired girl named Christie, and he said to Hathaway with a calm face:
"I told them to leave, the demons will be back soon, there is no need for them to stay and accompany us on the adventure."
He looked at Beatrice, who had stabilized his wounds, and said to Hathaway:
"It's not safe here, you'd better get out of here quickly, but this knight has a horse, and if you two change cars all the way, you should be able to get back to Handanar without any problems, but are you two sure you want to take Beatrice with you?" She's so badly injured that she's probably not going to be able to ride a horse, and if you take her with you, you're not going to be able to go too fast......"
He hesitated for a moment, and whispered to Hathaway:
"She might drag you down......"
Hearing the noble knight say this, Hathaway's face suddenly turned pale, and she shook her head again and again and said:
"But she's my friend, and I can't leave her here, so I promised to take her to see the Warsaw plane, and said that we would return to Bena Province together."
In fact, Surdak knew very well in his heart that if he took Miss Hathaway to continue the escape, there was a chance that he would be on the run. Nine was able to avoid this group of evil spirits, as the noble knight said, two people and one horse, which was much better than most of the fleeing warriors in the wilderness, after all, there was a horse.
But if you take this unconscious Beatrice, not to mention whether she can survive the bumps on horseback, I am afraid that the two of them will be put in danger.
It was only when she saw that Miss Hathaway was so determined to flee with her friend, and in front of those clear eyes, Surdak felt that she could not say such a thing as abandoning her companion on the way.
The noble knight also understood the expressions of the two, sat on the grass and waved his hand to Surdak and said, "You have to leave as soon as possible, I and this craftsman are here, and we can help you delay for a while." ”
As he spoke, he clenched the delicate knight's sword beside him.
When the noble knight said this, his face was very calm, and it seemed that he was ready to die.
At this time, the craftsman who was crouching beside him and rubbing Paglio's spear with a whetstone suddenly spoke: "I have a way to get everyone out of here together, but I have a small request......
Everyone except Beatrice, who fell into a coma, stared at him.
His face flushed, his hands clenched the Pagorio spear tightly, he hesitated, his eyes were full of longing, and he said to Surdak:
"I want to kill a demon with my own hands, even if it's a final stab, I need a little merit to convince the officers of the Judge Advocate General's Office, I didn't survive alone and didn't escape, I happened to go to the toilet at that time, and I also want to give an explanation to those old guys who died in battle......"
The more he talked, the less confident he became, and the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
Surdak didn't expect that the reason why this craftsman wanted to fight to the death was that he would be court-martialed if he returned to Handanar County, fearing that he would be held accountable and executed, and that it would be better to die on the battlefield than to get some pension.
However, if he can have such a feat as a demon head, he can at least wash away the guilt of escaping, and who wants to die if he can live?
Surdak touched a demon's head from the belt behind him, threw it to the craftsman like a watermelon, and said unusually cheerfully:
"Whoa! Take it, in fact, it should belong to you, I hope this can help you somewhat. ”
The craftsman didn't think that Surdak would give him a demon head so easily, and the value of a demon head would be at least a low-cost townhouse with a yard in the civilian area, even in Bena City, the capital of Bena Province.
He held the demon's head in his arms, not disliking the purple viscous blood stain on it, and used a cloth bag to put the demon's head in it, and carried it firmly behind him, and then he quickly stood up, and when he dropped the Paglio spear in his hand and pulled out a large wrench from the shelf of the magic caravan, the whole person was refreshed.
He quickly removed the undamaged axles and wheels from the overturned chassis of the magic caravan, and he even casually tested whether the two metal magic rune plates inlaid with some axles could be used normally, and when he found that these magic rune plates were not damaged, he couldn't help but say to everyone with a happy face:
"I'm a catapult mechanic, and I can convert a flatbed in no time, for me...... It's easy, in fact, our luck is not bad, at least we still have a horse, this magic caravan still has a lot of parts left to use, I see that these magic rune plates on the axle are also intact, thank you Goddess ......"
He chattered as he worked, but he was not slow at all, constantly removing everything that could be used on the magic caravan.
Surdak also silently helped on the side, and it was dismantled and repaired like this...... Quickly put together a flatbed truck.
The craftsman pulled out a cashmere-looking carpet from the carriage of the magic caravan, cut off a whole piece with a knife and laid it on the cart, and then unloaded a saddle from a dead horse, ready to put it on the maroon Guborai horse, but the horse was very vigilant and hid behind Surdak and did not let him come closer.
In the end, it was Surdak who stepped forward, calmed the horse, put it in the saddle, and pulled up the flatbed cart, which was only very quiet in front of Surdak.
Surdak and the craftsmen lifted the unconscious Beatrice onto the flatbed and lifted the noble knight onto the flatbed.
With Surdak pulling the reins of the Guborai horse in front, a group of five people hurried in the direction of Handanar County.
Perhaps due to the intact 'Weight Reduction' and 'Acceleration' magic rune plates on the axles, the flatbed truck was very light to drive, and soon everyone was mixed in with the army of fugitives.
