"My lord, I'm afraid Locat's won't work......"

After inspecting it, the accompanying priest reported the situation to Rhodes with a helpless expression.

One hammer, one hammer hangs up......

"Ah~~"

Rod sighed and shook his head. This is the power of the beastmen, and the gap between them and humans is not a little bit. After believing in the Chaos Gods, these mutated beasts became more and more powerful, and beneath their distorted exteriors was endless resentment. After being ostracized by the human world, these mutated beasts embark on a brutal path of revenge. They will take every opportunity to slaughter normal humans in order to complete their revenge.

Not every beastman is as tall as three meters, but this race is still a terrifying existence, at least their bodies are several times thicker than normal humans, and a single hammer is enough to shatter a human's skull. Carrot was lucky not to be smashed into a pulp. At the very least, they left him with a whole corpse.

"Brothers, let's give him a simple funeral. ”

Rod whispered. The firelight reflected his slightly vicissitudes of life, unlike other time-travelers, Rhodes was thirty-five years old when he arrived in the world, and the bitter cold of the Northland had trained him, making his skin dry and rough, and his knife-like face was engraved with the hardships and richness of the years.

Although cremation in place is desolate, it can only be so in this desolate and bitter cold place. There were only four of them, two of whom were still wounded, and it was absolutely impossible for them to take the bodies on the road. Moreover, the destination was Heidelberg, which had less than two days to go, and they had to hurry. Carrot was newly recruited into Blackhammer Castle a year ago, and Rhodes still doesn't know where his relatives are, perhaps another wanderer. But if it weren't for the vagabonds, the penniless, who would have come to this cold and dangerous north?

Sometimes, Rhodes feels like the night watchman in Game of Thrones, made up of a bunch of homeless people, thieves, and murderers...... They came to the northernmost part of the world and guarded the borders of the kingdom, however, as long as the enemy was slightly stronger, they could not do anything. Only the portion of the slaughtered.

"May Daha guide your soul. ”

Veteran Khufu read.

"My lord, let me see your injuries. ”

The pastor on the side, White Wren, asked nonchalantly. As a pastor, his job is to spread the gospel and save lives. Although he knew that he didn't know much medical skills and his ability was limited, as long as he could see it, he would try his best to treat it. And just now, he clearly saw his lord fighting with a group of beastmen, and he was knocked unconscious by the leader of the beastmen. Either way, he had to check and bandage Rhodes.

However, Rhodes also had his own struggles. He smiled and rejected the priest's kindness again.

You know, you are the son of the bear god, not to mention being hammered by the beastmen, even if you are pierced by the Chaos Warriors, you can heal quickly. This injury has already recovered almost in a short period of time. The blood was already circulating in his body, and a warm current filled every inch of his skin, so that he couldn't feel the wound at all. Except for the moment when he was hit, the pain came, and at other times, the injury was almost non-existent for Rod.

However, he could not let the pastor know. Can't let everyone know.

"No, it's just a small injury. You go and deal with Lawrence's wounds and help him recover as quickly as possible. ”

Again, Rod refused.

Although he didn't understand why the lord didn't let him heal his wounds, as a subordinate, White couldn't say anything more. He walked away in a state of trepidation, continuing to heal Lawrence lying under the tree.

......

Wish

In the land of the fallen stars,

The light flashed.

Wish

Oath Keeper,

Wandering warriors,

Endless journeys,

There will be a day of arrival;

Thousands of miles away from home,

There will be a day when it will return.

May the great sun shine upon you,

My brother......

May the glorious place of the Holy Church,

There is a resting place for you.

Under the moonlight, Pastor White presided over the cremation ceremony. Rode, Lawrence, and Khufu stood by the fire, looking serious. Even if he was an ordinary warrior, Rhodes would not take it lightly. On the contrary, as a lord, Rhodes valued these warriors who died in battle. Kislev is a fighting nation, and warriors must be held in the highest esteem. Rhodes followed this tradition.

"My lord, it's getting late, we must continue on our way, and we can't spend the night here tonight. ”

After the cremation ceremony, Lawrence began to talk worriedly. Endless darkness enveloped the woods, and as a patrolling ranger, Lawrence knew that the stench of the Beastmen's death would inevitably attract more Beastmen, Werewolves, and even Beasts. In this dark world of danger, no food is wasted. Those dead animals will soon be eaten by predators. Sometimes, they even cannibalize the corpses of their own kind, knowing that food is so scarce in the cold and freezing wild.

Lawrence's concern was justified, as he had seen three mutated wolves bite each other over a human corpse, and the three wolves dismembered the corpse, each sharing a portion of the carcass.

The blood-red wolf face still impresses Lawrence to this day.

"Well, I understand. Khufu, can you still go?"

Rhodes asked, turning his head. He saw Khufu with his sword on his face, looking pained. Apparently, he also took a terrible blow from the beastmen. But unlike Rod, he doesn't have super recovery ability, and can only rely on his body to recover slowly. The priest can heal, but White is obviously not a bishop-level person, and can only use the lowest level of divine magic.

"Yes, I'm okay. My lord. ”

Khufu replied. But because of the surprise attack of the beastmen, all the horses fled in fright, and now they could only walk to Heidelberg on their feet. Back at Blackhammer Castle, there would be no point in going out this time. It only increases people's fears.

"Hold on, and when you get to Heidelberg, you can eat warm food, soak in a hot bath, and even, enjoy the slender woman. ”

Rod joked. The latter barely raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, he knew that his lord was there to encourage them and channel positive and sunny emotions. Rather than just being sad.

Not getting enough sleep is a painful thing, and they have splitting headaches and can only nibble on hard rations to survive. When he was thirsty, he grabbed the dirty snow on the ground to quench his thirst, this place was purgatory compared to life on earth, but Rhodes knew that in order to get out of such a difficult life, he had to do it. All hardships are for the future.

Fortunately, the next morning, the frightened horse turned around again, making Rhodes look like a lord rather than a fleeing beggar......

Perhaps out of loyalty to his master, the foal consciously lay down, let the wounded climb on his back, and carried him all the way.
