At lunchtime, the later troops brought the prepared meals one by one to the disabled soldiers lying under the grass hut in the city in a simple rice basin, and fed them one by one. Among the feeding team was Sophia, who had not slept all night.

Dark circles were deeply engraved on Sophia's face, her brown-red hair was messy and dull from unwashed, and her pretty eyes were heavily drooping. Jack followed, took the wooden rice bowl that she was about to hand out, and said, "I'll come, you go sleep for a while, don't be too tired." ”

Speaking of love, maybe Sophia is the most sympathetic girl Jack has ever seen, when she was on Chau Island, she was the one who secretly brought food from home every time to run to the slums and feed the children, the seagulls that wet their wings in the rain and fell on the board, and she was the one who could fly back into the sky after being carefully cared for. Sometimes, Jack really doesn't know why he brought her to make her suffer this grievance.

Sophia took a long breath with her hands on her waist, then sat down on the steps by the side of the road, leaned against the stone pillar, and closed her eyes.

"Sophia, are you alright?" asked Jack with concern.

Sophia didn't speak, just shook her head and waved her hand for Jack to go about herself.

It seems that she is tired and needs a good night's sleep.

Jack quietly wrapped her in a blanket and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek.

Sophia slept until the night, and when she woke up, she found herself lying in her room, and Jack was sleeping quietly on the side of her bed, cherishing the only time she had to sleep. She turned the blanket on her body to cover Jack, but Jack woke up, sleepy-eyed, and smiled at her.

"Wake up. Jack said softly.

Sophia slowly moved off the bed, picked up the comb in front of the vanity mirror and combed her hair well, then opened the curtains. Outside the window, it was already dark, and this room was located on the fifth floor of the palace, where you could see the countless grass huts built underneath, as well as the burning fires, and you could hear optimistic soldiers singing folk songs around the fires.

"Unyielding one, brave one, take up your sword and swing it at the mighty enemy. Kind people, persistent people, even if they shed their last drop of blood, they must protect their lovers......"

When he was in school, Gumero was a compulsory subject, and Jack didn't study it seriously, but fortunately he later met Tex and taught him, and Sophia has always been a good student, so she can hear the strength and perseverance in the songs sung by the soldiers below.

"Jack, you're going back to Chau Island, aren't you?" Sophia suddenly turned around, looking at Jack with hazy eyes.

Jack walked over, stretched out his arms, hugged her tightly, kissed her on the forehead, and replied, "I promise that I will return to Chau Island with you with victory and change all this." Jack himself didn't have a definite number of these things, and he just said this in the hope that he would ease Sophia's worries. And the final outcome is unpredictable.

"I'm scared one day, I suddenly hear the news that you can't come back. ”

Jack smiled and pinched Sophia's nose: "How is it possible, there are so many of us, besides, I am the son of the earth, how can I die." ”

Sophia hugged Jack tightly, then suddenly half-pushed away and said, "I'm going with you." ”

Jack was taken aback: "Isn't it good for you to take care of them here? How dangerous it is to be with me! There are so many men lying underneath, they are still injured and retired, and some of them even have no bones, after all, you are a girl, there is no need to go to war." ”

"Nope. Jack, I thought about it when I came, I'm going to go with you. I know swordsmanship, and I can protect myself. I just hope ...... I just want to be able to watch you all the time. ”

Jack was speechless, he knew that the girl in front of him was like a thin sword, seemingly powerless but capable of killing, and under the gentle appearance there was a strong heart, which he could not intervene with.

"Knock knock", there were three knocks on the door.

"Who?"

"Jack, Prince Turks has sent a message to you to go to the council chamber on the second floor after dinner, and you have something important to discuss. Meals are given to you and placed on the carriage at the door. ”

"Okay, thank you!"

Jack turned to look at Sophia and said, "Eat first, you must be hungry." ”

Sophia smiled and nodded, she hadn't eaten all day and really wouldn't notice that she was hungry without being reminded, so she couldn't help rubbing her stomach and carrying Jack to the door to get food.

After the meal, Jack walked up the marble staircase alone, holding on to the delicate mahogany handrail, to the place where the council hall was located on the second floor.

Turks waited early, and a dozen guards stood guard at the door of the closed gilded gate, preventing people from entering or leaving. Pushing open the door, the high ceiling is covered with lotus-like chandeliers, and ten special human-shaped oil lamps are lit like guards around a long white stone table with maps and models on the table, and the stone walls are carved with the beauty of the Tana continent. Facing the door sat Cologne, Al on the left, and Gage, Luther, and Daniel on the right.

Jack said sorry and sat across from the three of them.

"The news says that Gabo's army will arrive tomorrow at noon, and I called everyone here today because there is something to talk about that must be discussed immediately, and that is the mysterious squad. Coren said.

"Hasn't the mystery team already been defeated?" asked Turk.

Coren shook his head: "You only wiped out the Gemmers, and according to the soldiers who returned, the mysterious man in white did not go far, but disappeared into the Lost Forest. If he hadn't left, the soldiers stationed around us would still be in danger. ”

Sure enough, as Jack had predicted, the danger was not eliminated.

Daniel slapped the table, stood up and shouted, "Don't worry, give me 3,000 people, and I will definitely be able to catch the man in white!"

Coren motioned for Daniel to sit down, adding, "The orange light of the man in white can't be explained in the field we know, but during the day, Gage and Luthor thought about it carefully, and felt that it might have something to do with it. ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"What?"

Coren stared at the map on the table and said, "Spirit of Tana." ”

"So, Jack, Turks, this time I may need you to go out and find out the origin of the man in white before Gabo arrives. The reason why I let you go is because you have come into contact with the man in white, and there is no danger, and perhaps it would be best for you to continue your investigation. In addition, Luthor will assist you. We only have one night plus tomorrow morning, and once the Gabo army arrives, and the danger of the Mystic is not removed, it is impossible for us to devise any tactics to deal with the Montaro base camp on the other side of the Shenri River. ”

How to find out? Into the Lost Forest? In a sense, it is tantamount to sending people to death.

Jack hesitated, but Turks made the decision for him.

"No problem! This time, I'm going to take the man in white to the city gate and behead him!"
