The captain followed the fourth child through the thick bushes to the grass not far away, and found a young man in ragged clothes lying in front of a wooden stake. The boy looked fourteen or fifteen years old, his clothes were muddy, and he was scratched by bushes, some of which were stained with blood, and the only shoes under his feet were not shoes, except the soles of his feet tied to his feet by tree vines, and there was only one. There is no blood on his face, his eye sockets are deep, his lips are dry and haggard, and he looks like he has walked a long way.

"Outcasts?" , the captain seems to have become numb to these, "Is there still gas?" ”

The fourth child tried to breathe, "Yes, I feel like I can't last a long time." Same as before? ”

The captain nodded, and just turned around to find the royal boy staring at him, "What do you mean to be the same as before?" “

"Leave him a jug of water and a piece of dry food." As he spoke, the captain walked in the direction of the carriage.

"Stop." The royal boy ordered, "Answer my question, can he live like this?" ”

The captain's tone was very calm, "I don't know, if you survive, these things can last for a few days, and if you can't survive, these things will be left to eat on the way to that side." ”

The young man was shocked when he heard this, and then roared, "You are knights, is this your chivalry?" To leave somebody in the lurch? As he spoke, he pulled out the knight's sword at his waist and pointed to the fourth child who was untying the kettle on his waist again. I command you, save him. ”

The fourth child looked at the captain's back helplessly, and after seeing the captain sigh, he shook his head helplessly, and picked up the young man and walked in the direction of the carriage. Seeing this, the royal boy put away his sword and was about to follow, but was stopped by the captain. "Your Excellency, please stay."

The boy did not look at the captain, but stood side by side with him, staring ahead.

"Looks like I'm going to have to talk to you about the rules of the battlefield." The captain stood in front of the young man, his eyes full of indifference, "You seem to understand that you are a knight, a glorious knight who stands high above, a great knight who whitewashes his words and deeds with his mouth full of loyalty and glory all day long. But you have to know where this is, this is the battlefield. This is not your imperial capital, not one of those prosperous and safe cities. Only by living carefully here do you have the right to say something else. Everyone knows that the child is a death to do so, but you have to figure out that there is a battlefield of confrontation ahead, and you have no way to determine the identity of this child, whether he is a spy or a homeless, and you can't be sure if he is poisoned or sick. It is not this one person who rashly takes it away and may die. ”

The young man of the royal family was a little stunned in his eyes, but he still pretended to be calm, "Not all of them are like what you said, as a knight, you still have to be kind and brave......"

Before the young man could finish speaking, the captain laughed insolently, and casually pointed to the soldier holding a bundle of firewood, "Hey, did you hear me, he said to be kind." The soldier laughed too, laughing so hard that he almost didn't hold the firewood on his chest. Do you know how ridiculous you just said? This word on the battlefield will kill you. After speaking, he left without looking back, leaving a puzzled royal boy.

……

"Have you checked it?" The captain emerged from the woods and looked at the boy lying in front of him.

"It shouldn't have been poisoned. It's hard to say if the spies are or something else, there's no way to know for sure. ”

"Okay, don't be careless. I'll feed him something later. Let's talk about it after the moat. As for the others, there's nothing to complain about. ”

"There must be dissatisfaction, but it should be fine, stuff this guy into the car behind and find someone to watch him. There shouldn't be any mess. ”

The captain nodded, "I'll look at him then." ”

"Done."

……

After about an hour of recuperation, the team set off again. However, this time it was not as lively as before, and everyone in the team had heard of this kind of thing, and more than once. Kindly saved people, the whole car was infected with strange diseases and died violently, some were killed by spies, and the most serious even caused chaos in the moat for half a day.

However, the captain of the truck behind was even more speechless, it was enough to be arranged for such an errand to have a headache, and this time he picked up such a bomb, I don't know if it was timed or dumb. Just as he was in the head of the irritation, the captain accidentally caught a glimpse of a pocket compartment on the boy's clothes. It's very secretive, and there seems to be something in it. At this time, he didn't care about so much, and roughly ripped open the mouth of his clothes, and inside was a small metal brand, which was very light to the touch and did not have the cold feeling of metal. Mysterious magic patterns are depicted on it, and the intricate lines form a magic array. When you hold it in your hand, you can clearly feel the energy surging inside. "Dryad stuff?" The captain muttered, but immediately shook his head, "No, the distant magic of the dryad doesn't need this kind of auxiliary pattern, and the alchemy of the Imperial Holy See needs this kind of pattern assistance but it won't be able to lead the surge, what the hell is this." ”

"Quick, quick, stop...... They, the Akademiya...... Genesis. "This is the boy lying in the carriage who seems to have dreamed of something terrible, beads of sweat gradually oozing from his forehead, and his mouth is talking with difficulty, but he is too weak to hear clearly. The captain tried to put his ear close to his, "What do you say, make it clear, what Genesis?" ”

"Will die...... A lot of people. The boy still muttered one sentence at a time, and in the end he stopped moving, and passed out in a deep coma.

But the captain who heard this had an ominous premonition, as if something big was going to happen in Feixue Ridge. Thinking of these captains, he no longer hesitated, jumped out of the moving carriage, ran to the carriage in front, and pulled the fourth man down. "Go to the back of the van and look at the kid. I'll go to the trench first. Before the fourth child agreed, he ran to the carriage at the front, took the reins of the groom, and waved it vigorously, and ran towards the moat at full speed. But this was a pain for the royal boy who was in the carriage with him, and the bumps along the way almost turned out all the little things he had just eaten.

……

"I want to see the lord of the city." The captain pushed and waved the sign in his hand.

"I still want to see it, stay there and don't make trouble." The newly reappointed guard didn't seem to know the captain. "Didn't you change your guards, but what about the others?"

"In the back, we have a situation, it's urgent."

"It's not going to run." The guard asked

"What are you running, what are you going to do by yourself, hurry up, I have something urgent here."

"What's the matter, it's been attacked? It shouldn't be. ”

"No, there is an urgent situation report."

"No, unless there is a battle report or a handwritten letter, you can only go directly to the defense area. Can't go into town. ”

"There really is an emergency." The captain himself can't say why he thinks this kind of thing is urgent, and normally he should ignore this kind of thing, because as he himself said, these people may be spies or spies, and their information is very credible. But his instincts, as the captain of the reconnaissance team directly under the Red Lion Knights, told him that this matter was definitely not simple.

At this moment, the young man from the royal family, who was in the car, also eased up, jumped out of the car, and walked to the captain's side. Looking at him, then at the guard, he pulled out a golden token from his armor, with a carved lifelike three-headed dragon in the center. "Open the door and take him to the city lord."

Several guards naturally knew this token, and hurriedly saluted and led the captain to the city lord's residence.

……

At this time, the city lord was working, and the desk in front of him was full of papers, and he himself was drowning in the pile of papers.

"Knock knock" Two knocks interrupted his movements, "Come in." With permission, the captain pushed the door open and entered.

"You're still the same, you can always figure it out." The lord of the city behind the table stood up, with a burly figure and a resolute countenance, although his hair was a little gray, but he was meticulously groomed. Saying that, he hugged the captain in front of the captain of the detour, "Rabbit cub." How did you get here, I remember you didn't have a token. "This city lord is the captain's enlightenment mentor, the strongest shield of the red lion, the red lion Barn.

"Teacher, don't come unharmed." The captain patted the city lord on the back, then let go of his hand, took out the sign and told the city lord what had passed on the road.

After listening, Barn looked at the metal sign in his hand, and then at his most proud student in front of him, and frowned. "You know this is something you shouldn't believe." The captain nodded, "But students trust their instincts, and you also said that the most important thing for scouts to trust is their own intuition, including their own intuition. ”

"Knock knock knock......" At that moment, a sharp knock on the door interrupted the silence of the two.

"Enter." Barn tossed the sign onto the table.

The communications officer outside the door barged in, looking eager. "Report to the city lord, there is a situation in Feixue Ridge, and there are suspicious people gathered."

"Which side, Mudleg or Dryad?" Barn frowned

"I don't know, they call themselves the Akademiya, and our forward post will also report the people on both sides when they see them, it shouldn't be their people. And they have messengers under our gates. Barn looked at his students in astonishment when he heard the word Akademiya, and when he heard that a messenger was coming, he said, "Tell him that I am coming." ”
