The war, which was not very large, ended with the victory of the human side, but in fact, there was only one real battle, but it caused a total of about 600 casualties on both sides.

If the Baron did not have the help of Russell and Sister Marlene, the army that had lost so many soldiers would have completely collapsed, resulting in a tragedy, and not only the surrounding villagers, but even the people of Serra Town would be in danger!

After the agreement between Baron Albert and Russell, the baron's army did not return immediately, but continued to cross the mountain stream to the camp of the thieves.

When the group arrived at the camp, as the baron had expected, they found in the camp a lot of the wealth that the thieves had looted over the years, and all but a small part of the treasure went to the baron's pocket.

Russell then understood why the baron had agreed so decisively to his request to share the royal reward equally, and it turned out that the baron could still make a fortune here!

However, for the victorious side, the seizure of the treasure of the losing side was a matter of human knowledge, and Baron Albert was able to give the treasure to the ecclesiastical forces in pain, and it was only for the sake of currying favor with them.

After receiving the share of the treasure, Sister Marlene instructed the mercenaries of the church to pack the treasure and carry it on the back of the war horse, and she decided to distribute the treasure according to merit when she returned to the church.

Russell could also search for any special treasures in the camp, but after looking around cursoly, he only saw some gold and silver cups, and nothing strange treasures.

Russell smiled self-deprecatingly and walked over to the pile of weapons the soldiers had collected, wanting to see if there were any weapons that were pleasing to the eye.

The man guarding the pile of weapons was none other than the baron's non-commissioned officer, and he had been with the baron the whole time, so he immediately recognized Russell,

"It turns out that Lord Russell has come here, and you are here to pick up weapons!

After saying that, in order not to disturb Russell's interest, he immediately turned around and left here, leaving Russell standing alone.

Russell stood beside the pile of weapons and began to find suitable weapons, perhaps Russell's taste has been greatly improved by the legacy of Dawn and Yingjie, this pile of weapons that looks pretty good is simply a pile of scrap metal in his eyes.

Russell shook his head, still giving up on the idea of finding a good weapon, and after saying a polite goodbye to the non-commissioned officer, he left immediately.

It seems that I should study the changes in the legacy of Yingjie, and according to the current situation, its changes can also be regarded as a good thing, probably so。。。。。。

Soon after, the sky had become drowsy, and the mountains at night were very dangerous, so the baron immediately gave the order, and the whole army was assembled and prepared to return to the town.

On the way back, Russell and Sister Marlene were at the forefront of the army with their mercenaries, and the enemy had been completely destroyed, and they did not have to continue to move forward with great care.

Sister Marlene turned her head to look at Russell on the side, and said with a smile: "I really admire your skills, such a huge monster, I feel that his legs are weak when I see him, but Russell, you are not afraid, you actually defeated him after I was unconscious, it really surprised me, how did you defeat him in the end?"

Russell hesitated for a moment, but decided not to tell Sister Marlene about the purple stone for the time being.

The purple stone wasn't a good thing, it could drive the lionman crazy, and its ability to suck the life force of nearby plants was something that sounded unsettling.

Russell decided to wait and see, if anything happened, Russell would tell Sister Marlene again, it should be too late.

Russell smiled and replied to Sister Marlene: "I'm just lucky, thanks to your divine assistance, nun, otherwise I would never have been able to kill the leader of the thieves!"

Seeing that Russell easily brought up the topic, Sister Marlene did not doubt Russell's words, but talked to him about how to deal with the arrangements after the reward of this war.

Perhaps because the soldiers were desperate to hurry home, the return of the entire army was much faster, compared to the snail-like speed of the army in the early morning, and now the whole army was back in Serra at midnight.

The church party had bid farewell to the baron shortly after entering the city, and had separated from the army at the city gate, and when they had reached the church square, Sister Marlene told the mercenaries to come and collect their bounty the morning, and then let them return to their lodgings.

Sister Marlene and Russell returned to the temple tired, and when they entered, they were surprised to find Betty sitting in the direction facing the temple gate, already asleep.

The servant who was guarding Betty's sleep said in a low voice: "Miss Betty has been waiting for you here for a day, we want her to go back to her room to rest, but she refuses, so we have to wait here with her, just now because the waiting time was too long before she fell asleep." ”

Russell walked to Betty's side, smiled and touched her forehead, the physical and mental exhaustion of the day and night disappeared at this time, and it was with someone like Betty who cared about him by his side that Russell could live with hope.

Sister Marlene walked up to Betty with a tired face, gently picked up Betty who was sleeping and said, "Lord Russell, you can go back to the room and rest for a while, Betty will let me send her back to bed, and the three of us will meet tomorrow!"

After saying that, Sister Marlene slowly walked into the room with Betty in her arms, and the tiredness that appeared in Russell's mind also came like a tide wave after wave, Russell could no longer hold back the strong sleepiness, and immediately returned to his room, and soon fell asleep.

The exhausting sleep was always very deep, and Russell felt as if he was being pressed by a boulder in his arm, and he couldn't break free no matter how hard he struggled.

Anxious, Russell suddenly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, it seemed as if a person was writhing around him.

Russell was completely sleepy at this time, he looked at it and found that it was a false alarm, it was Betty who was holding his arm just now, she was looking at Russell with big clear eyes and puzzled, and it was not clear why Russell suddenly woke up from his dream.

Russell patted his cheek with his free left hand, after all, he had only experienced a life-and-death struggle yesterday, his spirit was still too nervous, and he did not completely relax, Russell decided to calm his mind quickly in the days to come.

Betty hugged Russell's arm and asked, "Brother Russell, why did you wake up suddenly? Did I wake you up?"

Russell smiled and said, "It's not your fault, haven't you noticed that the sun is already so bright?

Betty nodded obediently, thought for a moment and said, "Brother Russell, was your battle yesterday very dangerous?" I asked Sister Marlene when I woke up, but Sister Marlene didn't want to tell me the details. ”

Russell rolled out of bed and replied, "There isn't much danger, Sister Marlene and I are just following Baron Albert's army, shouting and cheering, the thieves in the mountains are very weak, and the two of us are like watching a play, and the thieves are wiped out by the baron's army." ”

Betty looked up into Russell's eyes and said suspiciously, "Brother, are you telling the truth? Didn't you lie to Betty about me?"

Russell was forced to feel a little uncomfortable by Betty's puzzled eyes, but he still forced his composure and replied, "Of course! If you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Marlene?"

Betty saw Russell so calm, and no longer doubted Russell in her heart, she just hoped that Russell and Sister Marlene would not be hurt, Russell and Sister Marlene treated her very closely, Betty had long regarded the two of them as her trusted family members, and the safe return of the two of them was the happiest thing of her day.

Russell saw that Betty's mood was a little better, and suddenly remembered something.

Russell looked at Betty and said with a mysterious expression, "Betty, do you know what I encountered yesterday?"

Betty was really attracted by Russell's inquiry, "Brother Russell, what's the matter?"

Russell smiled, "I went back to Seth Village and met the village chief, Uncle Buddy, and your parents!"

Betty immediately became excited, and asked eagerly, "Did they tell me anything, are they worried about me here?"

Russell originally wanted to tease Betty, but when he saw Betty's hopeful expression, he couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.

"Grandpa and Uncle Buddy, the village chief, were very relieved to hear that you were doing well here.

Your parents were honored to hear that you were able to learn to write and be a member of the church, and they told you to rest and take care of your health. ”

Betty's eyes suddenly moistened when she heard this, and Russell stopped narrating when she saw this, Betty was still a child after all, she had grown up in the village since she was a child, and was lovingly loved by her parents and villagers.

Now that she is in the church, she doesn't know when she will be able to return to her hometown and see the people she knows, and the thought of this makes Betty cry.

Russell sighed slightly, and he took out the handkerchief on the table to wipe Betty's tears, when the door to his room was suddenly opened from the outside.

It was Sister Marlene who came in, and she was a little surprised to see Betty's tearful eyes, "Betty, who made you cry?"

Seeing Russell's guilty eyes, Sister Marlene immediately reacted, she smiled, and then said: "Now is not the time to vent my emotions, I need to do something big with Betty now, Russell, you can also come with us to have a look!"

Sister Marlene took Betty and Russell around all kinds of rooms, and finally came to the interior of the temple, Russell still admired Sister Marlene's ability to find her way, she could know everything about such a complex temple.

Russell still has some impression here, that is, near the room where Betty tested for specific qualifications last time.

Sister Marlene took them to a deeper room, which was much more beautifully furnished.

The room is decorated with beautiful satins and accentuates one of the most important things in the room.

It was a white gemstone that had been polished into a spherical shape, and it looked somewhat similar to the one Betty had previously tested.

However, this gem is much purer, and Russell was able to see the scene on the other side of the gem through the inside of the gem.

Sister Marlene introduced them: "This white gem is the most precious thing in our temple, it is worth enough to buy a town, and its function is to send news to the temple in the same place, this is a secret treasure that the royal family cannot obtain!"

Sister Marlene smiled and said, "I brought Betty here to receive news from the church headquarters and to let the bishops of the temple know Betty. ”
