"What do you mean, there are armies on every road?" It is impossible to have an army on every road. It simply doesn't make sense. Andex complained, more complaining than incredulous.

However, the wolf sca

Unmoved. He stood on top of Gabi's head, arms crossed, and stared up at Anders. His dragonfly wings buzzed softly and said exasperatedly, "Well, then, if you don't believe me, you can go check it out!" You'd better wear more blankets because it's cold up there!"

"Where did they all come from?" How many troops can a king have?"

Wolf Scar just shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly and irritably, glaring angrily.

Around them, the shadows continued to whisper. Always keep a certain distance, just behind the nearest snowdrift or jagged tree. Never among them, but always somewhere nearby. Far enough away, this may be imaginary. It made them all nervous; Send Wolf SCA

Go to scout the road, mainly to prevent him and Ga

bi quarrel and get angry with each other. When they quarrel, it's very rare, and everyone else gets involved inexplicably, and the result is always not good.

Aguna stealthily grabbed the fairy from Gabi's head, causing him to let out a scream. She kissed him twice on the top of his head and put him back.

"Please don't do that!" Wolf sca

Say, although there is not much sincerity. He buzzed and flapped his wings again, straightening them.

Aguna tries to catch him again, but this time he's ready, flying out of her reach. Gabby laughed a little too loud and walked away from her mom before sticking her tongue out.

"Oh, you think so, don't you?" If you stick your tongue out at me again, I'll poke you with a stick so you can't spit out again!" The humor is unbelievable, Agnn said.

Still, Gabi hesitated, and then jumped back again, jumping far enough that the woman couldn't catch her without chasing.

In their disguise, Androk could feel their fear. Agunn wants to lighten Gabi's mental burden, and Gabi can see it and tries to cooperate. But the wildness of their eyes, the sound of their voices being a little loud, and their movements a little too much, told him that it was insincere. They tried to be brave, better than the quiet little flower over there.

He sighed and said, "Wolf sca."

Come back. We're not done yet. Tell me more about these armies. How big do you think they are?"

The fairy shrugged, but there was a hint of genuine frustration on his face. "I can't count that many."

"Do you remember the king's army when you spotted us on the road?" Is it bigger or smaller than that?"

Wolf Scar put his fingertips in his mouth and thought for a moment. He floated over Galby's head. "Well, which one?" He concluded.

"What is this? Which troops? How many?"

The fairy flew in a small circle, and then sat on Galby's head again. As he counted, he pointed to a few points in the air in front of him. "Count, two, three, four, five, um, six. But this one—" he said, pointing to a spot in the air, "could be two armies." They separated. ”

"Where did they all come from?" Andlos asked again meaninglessly. How is this possible? How many armed men will there be on these steep and useless mountains? These lands were the most pitiful and impoverished places he had ever seen, so where did they get their weapons and armor?" No, actually, tell me this. Are they on horseback, or on march?"

Wolf Scar pointed to different places in the air and said, "Oh, these people are marching, most of these people are horses, but not all, these people don't even move. They're making wood. And these, well, these are...... I don't remember. ”

"Is there one on every road?" Each?"

"Anyone who can go anywhere."

"Did anyone go to Pepper's side?"

"I didn't look that far. But for every road that leads to us, they have an army. There are one, two, two, or three, and this is the most recent one. It came from there, over that ridge, where we were going. ”

"Oh, to hell! Anjex hissed, pushing the sudden despair down. “Agu

E, we-"

But she had already begun to act, pulling the basket away from the horse and back on the road.

A

d

Okles reached out and patted Flower's back. "Help her."

The children moved almost as quickly as Arguern, putting away the blankets they had prepared for the night camp and putting away the cooking tools. Thanks to the road clearer, there have been no fires yet.

"Where can we go, Daddy?" Xiaohua said almost hysterically, this was the first thing he said in a few hours. He hugged a blanket, one of which fell to the ground. He tried to pick up the first one and dropped another.

"There." Anchors pointed to a long, narrow road on the other side of the road, covered with bare rocky dirt and no shade, allowing the sun to melt the snow earlier than elsewhere. It looks dry. "The carriage shouldn't leave a big enough mark, but we have to hurry."

"Will they see us?"

"As long as we go far enough before they arrive, it won't."

"What if they see us?"

"Then I'll take care of it!" Now hang up the blanket!"

However, the truth is, Andlox didn't know what he was supposed to do with the fight. If necessary, he can continue to fight despite the pain in his ribs and arms, but a reflexive tingling or twitch at the wrong time could kill him. His killing intent still burned deep inside him as usual, and a raging ocean of anger brewed and waited, but in Wolf Sca

After releasing all the miasma in his chest, the feeling was no longer the same. It pressed tighter at the border than before, causing a slight strain on his heart that he didn't remember before.

But despite this, it seems clearer? Is it much milder? How do people measure such things? But it felt different, and he no longer believed in what it would do to a fighter, until he had another chance to test it. It's better to have one, not hundreds.

He used his spear as a poor crutch to stand up and began to get into the car. Going out is a chore. It's just as difficult to get back into the car, because broken ribs can make people immobilized. When he weakly tried to climb out of the carriage, like an old man trying to climb down the steps to take a bath, if the army rushed over and pierced him, then he was lucky.

Soon the carriage was moving again, and their brief inspiring attempt was now forgotten by a quiet, deathly urgency. This time Gabi sat in the back, next to the flowers. Her wolves lay on their laps and almost swallowed the children into a large pile of fur. The little girl clutched the wolf's thick skin with one hand and the hand of the flower tightly with the other, her straw-blond hair crawling all over her cheeks. She didn't dare let go and mend it.

At first, the horses refused to follow the bare, rocky path, but looked around, rolling their eyes in fear. The whispers grew louder and louder, as they always did whenever the carriage moved. Their voices always grew louder and louder, drowning out the sounds of the road, and then they fell silent again, and when it was time to rest, the horses rested.

Argern pulled the reins tighter and tighter, but it wasn't until she grabbed the whip and pretended to go down and beat them that they understood, and began to march through the rocky dirt.

Flower and Gabby hid far below the wolf, and all he could see was their big eyes, his yellow eyes and her blue eyes, wide open and full of fear, glancing in all directions, but always looking at him over and over again. Probably because they can't see anything else there.

Luckily, the rocky trail is shaded by a layer of pine trees that separate them from the farther pass on the road. Even so, through the bushes, he saw that the first riders appeared much earlier than he expected. They stopped, four in all, looking at the end of the road, waiting for the arrival of the army. Strange - if they're scouts, they're supposed to keep going until they see something.

He wasn't worried about being discovered—they were only half a mile away, and Andax knew where to look for them. They could not have found him in all the trees, even if they thought that he might leave the road and go into the wilderness of the mountains. If God were merciful, they would pass by directly. He knew it was best not to expect it, though. Things didn't quite work out.

Androx's eyes had been on the scout, waiting for a scout to point them in their direction. It never came. They tied the horses tightly together. Too close. It's so close that they can't react if something jumps out. What are they doing?

He listened intently to any shouting or whistling, and it took him a moment to realize that the whispering had subsided. There were some unlucky stuff around, but they were farther away now, and not as much as they used to be.

The carriage approached a sparsely wooded place, and it might not be able to cover them, so he calmly said, "Aguna, stop!"

The horse immediately stopped and inserted its hooves so as not to be pulled back down the mountain. A

d

Okles pointed to the four scouts on the pass and said, "Ga."

Bi, look over there. Walk through the woods, at the top of the road. Do you see those people?"

She nodded, clutching Flower's hand and Ashe's fur tighter.

"Twenty or so paces, we won't be so hidden, and I don't want them to find us. Can you get Bobby to lure them away for a while?"

"How?"

"It looks delicious. If they find him on the road, they probably won't go after him. They should have gone to scouting. Just keep him far enough. ”

"No, I mean, how can I let him do that?"

Androx stared at her. "I thought you ...... I didn't see you...... Can you not tell him?"

Agunn interrupted, "Ogre, stop talking, come and see this." Are those footprints?"

"What?"

"A footprint. You heard me. I could even see the toes. Hurry up, get up!"

"It hurts to get up, you nasty woman!" Why should I care if there are footprints? We have troops—" He stopped. He knew she wouldn't budge. He sighed and gave up.

Curse the woman and her stupid thoughts. The footprints of everything, the dirt along a rock, could well have been part of a particularly bad road. Panting, he climbed to the wall of the carriage, lay down, and slid over. His painful gasps may have been a bit exaggerated, but only a little. The gods are above, and he is tired of breaking his ribs. Why does it have to be three or four, and not one? It wouldn't have been so bad if I had returned to Dikaya. There, if he wanted to, he could wander all day, eating figs and listening to the harp and flute.

When he saw the footprints, all thoughts of complaining stopped. Just a few feet away, just a few feet away, a huge right foot stared at him clearly, where the freshly melted snow had made the ground soft and black. A

d

Okles' own feet are sometimes considered monsters, and the footprints are half as long and twice as wide. It's bare, and the thing that makes it has only four toes.

He searched everywhere and soon found them - the giant's gait was half his length. They left the road and walked up the bare, rocky land, near where Androl wanted to go. The trail disappears around a large exposed boulder.

"What's the matter?" They asked at the same time as he turned to face Flower and Arguern.

"A footprint. Stay here," he said.

Androcles walked back to the carriage and picked up his spear.

Aguna was about to say something, but he chased her away. She glared at him and lowered the reins. She slid out of her seat and straightened the bag on her waist, ready to grab a handful of herbs if necessary. When she saw him open his mouth to let her stay where she was, she made a rude gesture to him - a gesture he had never seen before, but he could guess what it meant. He grinned and kissed her forehead, much to her surprise, and she blushed and repeated the gesture.

Together, they tracked the trail of the thing. Androcles could not bend and crawl forward, so they had to hurry up, hoping that the soldiers on the pass would not notice their movements.

If the army is farther away, they may turn around and continue on until they find a sparsely populated place to hide, but they no longer have that option. If they get close to the road, they will be spotted and they will be finished. So, if the gods were good, and everyone knew they weren't, then whatever left those footprints was moving on and long gone. More likely, it slept in a small crack on it, stuffed with fur to keep warm. Or more likely, it was waiting behind a rock with a huge, fanged stick, ready to beat him into a paste for its dinner.

If it's another Tatalor, everyone will die. God sent something else. How many such things are there in the world? Maybe it's just a very big guy who will happily share his home, fireplace, and food in exchange for dice games and songs.

Peek around the boulders, and there are no terrible ambushes waiting on the other side. Instead, they found a cave with a large entrance and complete darkness inside. Androcs didn't know if it was natural or if it was dug up from a hillside, but what left the footprints was definitely there. He could smell mostly human sourness from the warm air that was steadily blowing from the mouth of the cave.

The two of them stopped to listen. The shadows that had been following them seemed to gather inside, their whispers echoing there, mingling into a long hiss. Underneath it all was a low rumble, low enough to shake their chests, not their ears. Sounds annoying.

Androx and Agunn looked at each other as if to say, "Let's not go in." They nodded at the same time.

Looking around, the rocky path extends a little upwards, through the mouth of the cave, into a steeper, more muddy spot with some dense pine trees at the end. If they can get there, they'll be hidden. They just had to be quiet, hoping that the sound was the snoring of the thing, not the rumble of its belly.

They slipped back quietly down the path, Anchors brandishing his spear like a cane, trying not to flinch each time they descended the mountain. Agunn grabbed his free hand to help him balance, and held it tightly, crossing their fingers together. She had never looked at him squarely.

"I really don't want the kids to come near that cave."

"Where else can we go?" Agnn replied. "We're running out of time, ogre."

He smiled and whispered, "When did you become that bold man?"

"I've always been that bold one."

Both of them held their breath and rushed through the open space in front of the carriage, and the soldiers did not seem to notice them, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"We watched them, Dad," said Galby. "They looked down, but they didn't see us."

"Dad, why can't they see us?" Flower asked, fiddling nervously with his cuffs. The poor kid is still at a loss.

Andlox decided to take the time to reply, in part because he was still considering his options. "You see, you have to walk through the woods from the right angle to see them. If you do this, you can see their entire body. It would be nice to see them on horseback. But they can only see your head, and only when they're looking in the right place. Don't move too hard so you don't get their attention. ”

Gabby said, "So are we hiding now?"

"We're hiding now, but when they go down, we're not going to hide." Andlos said, pointing to the rocky dirt road that led to the main road.

He whistled and called the wolf sca, who flew to the side of the road for some unknown reason

, the fairy obediently returned to the carriage, although the way he flew made him look pouting.

Wolf sca

The choice falls on Agu

E's head, where he sat cross-legged. "I just saw them, but nothing happened," he said.

A

d

Okles nodded. Then he frowned, stepped on the wheels, and gently rolled into the car. It turned out to be the easiest way to get in and out, and he wished he had thought of it sooner.

Agunn took the reins, sat down on the bench with a thud, and said, "Shall we, then, ride through the clearing, and hope that they will not see us?"

"Yes, but not now. Wait to hear me, and then pull us as fast as you can with those god-cursed horses. ”

"So, what are you waiting for?" She asked, sounding more nervous than angry.

"See what they're waiting for?" They will... Just wait and see. Just be prepared. ”

The wait was painful, although the children didn't seem too scared. Wolf sca

Began to straighten Ga strand by strand with his thorns

Bi's hair, she agreed, and the rest just shut up and watched through the woods.

Sure enough, just a few minutes later, a few more people climbed the pass to greet the first group.

"Now! He hissed. "While they're still talking!" Go for it!"

Arguna snapped and tugged at the reins, and it took a moment for the horses to understand what she meant. They turned to look back at her, but she began to curse loudly and slap the reins harder. If the horses could sigh and complain, they would have sighed and complained, but they pulled the carriage forward. The rope strained with a jerk that nearly threw Ankolos off the crumbling perch, but the car started and accelerated.

As the carriage passed the clearing, all five of them turned around and looked up at the long clearing, which stretched to most of the pass. Here they open wide and climb steep slopes at extremely slow speed, and only the gods know how they will escape if they are discovered.

On two occasions, one of the first group pointed to the end of the road and waved at everything, but what Andlox feared — they would turn their heads and point to the car at the same time — never happened. They seem to be discussing things about the countryside as a whole, if their gestures are anything suggestive.

Until the last moment. No sooner had the carriage disappeared behind the next dense bush than a newcomer pointed excitedly at them. He patted his companion on the shoulder and kept pointing it out to them. If the gods were merciful, they should have seen Gabi's red deer following the wagon, not the wagon itself.

Aguna also saw it. "Shall we stop?"

"No, keep walking. We don't want to be here when they come to check. ”

Agna drove the horses faster, but on such a steep slope they were so fast. Especially on such rocky and loose ground; As they try to find their prey, their hooves keep sliding backwards. The carriage almost stopped on a few occasions, but never backed.

Every time the carriage slipped, Flower clung to the side of the carriage like an old man clutching a baby goat, but to his credit, he never screamed. Gabby spends most of her time hiding in her wolf, which may not be her choice. Wolf sca

Not noticing this, he focused on combing her hair without pricking her every lump.

As they approached the cave, Agunn looked back at Androx, his eyes as if asking: Shall we tell them?

He shook his head slightly, then nodded towards the woods, where he thought it was best to hide them.

However, when everyone hears whispers and low, quiet rumbles coming from the cave, it is impossible to hide the fact that something terrible is happening in the cave. The flower shrunk down, mostly hiding in the back of the car. Gabby whispered, "What's that?" Are they back?"

Wolf sca

Jumped about a foot high and then grabbed his thorn with one hand like a sword. Without waiting for anyone else to stop, he rushed into the cave and disappeared. Arguna looked back at Androx, her eyes widening with a new fear. He himself felt the fear wriggle in his chest, gently squeezing his heart. The shit-licking fairy, under the droopy tits

The fairy flew out again, shouting, "We have to go!"

"What's going on! Galby shouted from under her wolf.

Agnn frantically flapped the reins and stood on the footrest instead of sitting on the bench.

The whispers in the cave grew louder and louder, and after a while, the low rumble suddenly turned into a roar, echoing through the cave like a cape. Then there was the sound of crashing, then the sound of heavy footsteps.

A large, non-human, humanoid object appears at the entrance to the cave. Its face resembles the face of a beaten person, bulbous, deformed. For its size, its shoulders were awkwardly narrow, only slightly wider than its pimpled head, and its arms and legs were long, bony, spider-like, and disgustingly long. Its chest and belly are long, thin, and unnatural, with patches of fine jagged hairs. It crawled out of the hole and stood there, naked, male. It was at least as tall as the Cyclops, but the beast was bulky, and this one was slender. It crawls like a bug instead of stomping its feet like a bull. It held a stone larger than Andlos's head in one hand and waved it in the air as if swatting a fly.

Agunn whispered, "Ogre!" Her arms hung down on her knees, and her chin was wide open.

"What!"

"Monster! She pointed and shouted. This time Anders understood what she meant—the thing was really an ogre.

He stood up and picked up his spear, hoping that the ogre wouldn't come near him again, but he didn't know what to do if it came any closer to him.

But when its swollen, bloodshot eyes realized they were only a few steps away, it lifted the stone and threw it.

Frightened, Flower stood up, grabbed the side of the carriage and opened his mouth.

Pain erased the world. It tormented Andlox from head to toe, cauterizing his nerves and shattering his bones. It was sudden, crazy, and unforgiving. He couldn't see. He couldn't think. All he could do was struggle with endless pain.

After a while, the world returned to its original position, like a crackle. Flower was still standing in place, his chest heaving and panting. Arguna lost her balance and collapsed on the bench. At the moment when time froze, it was as if the gods of Tulos had stopped the sun from moving, and there was silence all around.

The ogre took a step back and threw the stone on the ground in surprise. He grabbed his ear, then looked at his finger and saw blood on it. He opened a mouth full of rotting and jagged teeth, as if to scream, but made no sound.

There was no sound at all. Not a single one. Andlos said a word, but heard nothing. He realized he was deaf.

The ogre's face contorted into a look of extreme frustration, and he picked up the stone.

Hana opened his mouth again, as if screaming, his whole body tensed, and his tail stretched straight behind him. This time, Andrx doesn't feel anything, and he realizes what's happening: Flower knows a painful song, and Andrx can't hear it anymore.

However, ogres can. It turned around and fled along the rocky path towards the main road. The horses jumped up, hurried and violent. The carriage staggered, and Agn shook her head a few times as if to clean it up, and then did her best to lead them where she wanted to go.

Anchors watched with relief as the terrible thing slid smoothly down the hill, clutching the tree with her slender fingers. He couldn't help but notice how its grip split the wood, how precise and symmetrical all its movements were.

By the time they reached the denser woods on the hillside and stopped the carriage, Androx's deafness had been replaced by a shrill ringing of bells. He still couldn't hear anything else, but he hoped it was a good sign.

Flower fell to his knees and rested his chin on the railing. His cheeks glowed with fresh tears, and he looked pained. Gabi didn't move, and neither did the wolf, though Anchors could tell it was still breathing. Arguna leaned forward, her shoulders shaking. A

d

Okles realizes that she is crying, which makes him even more miserable. A faint pain soaked through his skin, even the healthy parts, and it felt like nausea or an old bruise.

On a whim, he grabbed a large handful of wolf fur and lifted it up, only to find that Gabi was unresponsive. He quickly pulled her out to make sure she was still breathing, and she was still breathing. He took her in his arms, forgot about the stitches, and gently shook her to see if she would wake up. Small drops of blood came out of both of her ears, and he pulled her eyelids open with his thumb and found that her eyes were bloodshot and looked red. However, at this moment, she moved, looking around in confusion.

A

d

Okles sensed that she was starting to panic, so he kissed her head, stroked her hair, and hugged her to his chest. His ears were ringing, and he still couldn't hear what she was saying, but he saw tears running down her cheeks, and he was sure she was crying.

By this time, Aguna had already turned around to check on everyone, and immediately stretched out her arms to Gabi. A

d

Okles handed the girl to her mother, and then reached out to comfort the flower, who sat stiffly as if carved out of wood.

Flowers probably saved them all. Of course, it came at a price, but it saved them anyway. He barely smiled proudly, then lifted Flor's chin for the boy to see. Then he kissed him, picked him up, and the flower slowly relaxed.

The bucks are gone, and hope is gone forever. The wolf is most likely fine. Wolf SCA

Where is it? A

d

Okles put the flowers down and looked around the carriage. Not in it, unless he's hiding behind a sack. Not Agn. Where was Flower when he started singing that evil song? Is it still in the air?

A

d

Okles shuffled to the edge and rolled out of the car, but couldn't get to his feet. He couldn't get up and fell into the loam again. The pain of his injury chose this moment to strike again, causing him to curl up and clench his teeth.

He quickly broke free and tried to get up. This time, he finally stood up, lest the ground shake under his feet, and he fell backwards and slammed into the ground.

Flower jumped out of the car and tried to lift Anders' head with his small arms, but to no avail. He spoke, his mouth fluttering eagerly, as if to remove the mist that still hung over Androx's mind, but Androx could not hear a word.

"I'm fine," he said. Not being able to hear his own voice when he speaks is not as disturbing as he thinks. "I just can't hear what you're saying. I was deaf. ”

He couldn't tell if he was speaking too loud or too soft, but Flower heard it and understood. The boy's face was full of remorse and guilt, and he drooped his ears like a scolded dog.

"I'm sure I'll be fine, kid. You saved us all. Invigorate. Wolfsca

Where?"

Flower said something, but Andlos didn't hear it.

"I can't hear what you're saying. Nodding knowing where he was. ”

Hua shook her head.

"Go find him. Hurry up, before the ogre returns. I can't seem to walk now. ”

The flower spoke, and no one heard.

"I said I'd be fine. Go find the wolf sca

。 Stop arguing and let's go. ”

The pale-faced boy nodded, turned and ran towards the entrance of the cave.

Anchors lay for a moment, his head spinning. It felt like his body was in a boat, swaying back and forth in the waves, while his skin remained still.

After a while, the tinnitus in his ears suddenly stopped, as suddenly as it had begun, and the world returned to his head. "It's annoying that the crow has taken the gods." He complained, mostly to see if he could hear it. He could. "Aguna, are you still alive?"

"If you think I'm dead, why give Gabi to me, fool?"

"I guess it's a habit. Can you move?"

There was silence.

"No, no. My head felt like I had drunk too much wine and my guts felt like dishwater. I didn't dare to get off the bench. ”

"I was hoping you would come and pull me up," he said with a laugh.

"You ridiculous giant, the three of us can't do it when the weather is nice."

"Then it's good that you don't have to bury me."

"Who said I'd bother to bury you?"

Anchors smiled, his relief at surviving made him a little dizzy.

He saw a shadow on the right, turned his head, and saw Bobby the stag hovering near his head. It looked down on him with obvious disgust. When their eyes met, it let out a roar and dug into the ground with one hoof. When A

d

When Okles didn't react, it bent down and nudged him on the shoulder with its nose, as if to say, "Get up, weak."

Their eyes met again, and Anchors was sure he could see the stupid beast laughing at him. He sneered back, and the good mood was now completely gone. Then he rolled over and staggered to his feet, bracing himself with a spear like a cane. The broken rib filled his body with a hot sting, but he found himself annoyed enough to ignore it.

As soon as he stood up, the damn animal poked him forward with its horns, one of which went into his lower back. Androx turned around and tried to punch it, but he was still too unbalanced to hit anything. The buck just took a step back and looked at him with the most condescending look he'd ever seen.

The two of them looked at each other, angry and challenged, but the Bucks didn't respect the competition at all and quickly looked away with contempt.

Feeling that this was the best outcome he could get, Anchors turned around and limped deliberately slowly towards Aguun. Properly angry had the fortunate effect of burning the waves in his internal organs and stabilizing his feet, but he wasn't happy about it.

Gabby lay in Aguna's arms, held like a baby. Her eyes were wide open and her expression was hollow, and her face was so smooth and dazed, that he immediately realized that she was groggy again. Flower's magic was too great for her and locked her up completely. He'd seen it twice before, and it could take days or weeks for her to come back.

"Did she react in any way?" He asked, even though he knew the answer.

"No, not even writhing." Agnn said, a sad and tired look in his eyes.

"Do you think you can help her?"

"I can try," she replied. "It breaks my heart that I can see so many jagged places in her little heart. I thought she would be much better off than she is now, but she's still so vulnerable. Just a fragile little thing......"

Androk bent down to kiss Arguern's forehead, and she sat on the bench in the carriage, and he didn't have to bend too much to reach her.

As soon as his lips touched her hair, the buck reached between them and poked Gabi gently. It glanced at Androx, squinting at it, flicking its horns close to his face.

"What, are you worried about her?" He said angrily.

The buck walked in, pushed Angel back with his shoulder, and then stabbed the little girl in the nose.

"I think the answer is yes." Agnn said with a slight smile.

"I really hate this stupid deer."

"Why, Daddy? Wolf Scar said about four inches from his ear. Androx jumped in fright, then hissed, his ribs burning from being squeezed around. Flower stood a few paces behind him. He must not have looked too far.

"Are you okay?" A

d

Okles asked. "How are you okay?"

"Oh, I already know the song, so it doesn't bother me that much. But guess what, Dad. Do you know what those sunglasses do with these things? Malaria? Oh, oh, is the princess okay? Is she asleep again? Mom, is she asleep again?" Wolf sca

Buzzed to stop at Ga

Bi waved his hand in front of her eyes. She didn't react.

A look of despair gripped him, and he floated down, curled up on her stomach, wrapped his arms around his knees, and hugged himself there. "Why would she do that?" He said. "I don't like it!"

“Wolfsca

,——“

"I'll tell you later!" I don't want to say anything right now! I'm already starting to miss the princess. I want her to be well!"

With the stupid deer in the way, Androx had nothing more to do, so he took a step back, looked around, and let out an exasperated sigh. "Just in case, I thought I'd go kick something over the wheel trail."

"Don't wait too long." Agunn said. Their eyes met for a moment, and he nodded.

He used his spear as a crutch and walked down the slope towards the softer cavern in the ground.

However, he had just taken a few steps and the wolf sca

And they cried out: "They woke everything up!" That's what they're doing. There's something in them, something that makes them do it. It's about letting them do it. A lot of people have it, but I didn't know what it was until I saw it. ”

"They woke things up?" Who are they? The shadow of the dead?"

"Well, that's because of the bad stuff, the stuff that comes out of the dead stuff. Malaria. You've unleashed so much that they can use it to make a difference, and they can use it to make a difference. It's awake. Waking different. ”

Wolf sca

Sit up and say, "It's like an ogre." They woke him up. He likes to sleep in the rocks most of the time. But they woke him up and made him angry, and they were able to do it because they had too much miasma. It's everywhere. It won't go away as usual. It's like if water was everywhere and not just in the river. ”

"What do you say is it that makes the souls of the dead wander around and wake up all the monsters?" What made them do that?" Andlos asked, growing more and more scared.

"Is it a spell?" A ruse? Agnn asked.

"It looks like this. Wait a minute......" Wolf Scar flew a few feet, dragging an unseen object out of the air with one hand. He ran a few quick steps to a bare ground and made a gesture as if he was manipulating something, which might be the case.

In an instant, a vision appeared to them: the figure of King Lugubelenus above the waist. His apparition was full of fire from the waist down, and the flames spread out, clutching tightly. The king's face contorted into a furious one, and he pointed with his ridiculous long sword, and gave a silent order. His eyes burned and roared as they walked through the scenery along the way. The feeling of command and control was undeniable, and it made Andlox's throat dry.

"Something like this makes them do it. There are such people everywhere telling us what to do. "Wolf sca

Explained calmly. "Well, sort of. It's a big problem in a lot of places. It has more miasma to make it stronger, which is why it can. Who are you? You know what?"

"That's the king."

"Oh." Wolf sca

Say. "You never let me look at him before."

"He looks crazy," Hana said.

"Then on the bread and eat it for breakfast." Aguna said angrily. "We gave him the greatest gift of all. No, not us. You did it, you monster. He is waking up the land on a massive scale. ”

"What are you talking about?" Androx said.

"Wake up the earth. It's the most evil trick I've ever heard. Once upon a time there was a woman who sacrificed all eight of her children on the tombstone in order to summon a Mairu down the mountain. He killed the people she hated, and then killed her and half the people of the village. Magic like this requires death, the death of a lot of people, but once started, it is unstoppable. ”

"What is Mai

u?” Flower asked.

"A giant in the mountains. They liked to pile stones into houses and altars. But think about it. How many people do you think Andrakles killed in his stupid army, in his exaggerated twenty-five years? Hundreds? Thousands? He kept some of it in his heart all along. How many battlefields have you traveled? The power of their death is stored in you like an evil pregnancy. Until now. It's an unbelievable timing, Androx. You're really good at planning!"

"The only thing you have stored in your body is—" Andlocks was about to speak, but the roar of the cape came from down the hill, interrupting his answer. Everyone turned around at the same moment and looked at the pass. From here, they could not see the rendezvous point itself, as it was obscured by its own trees.

But they did see a man being thrown fifty feet into the air, so high that he screamed several times before hitting the ground. Then, another plane flew by at an angle, making a long arc over the trees. The air was filled with the loud roar of metal clashing, centaurs screaming, and wood cracking, punctuated by the roar of the ogre's cape.

Androx and his family huddled together in horror, watching the fight scenes above the mountain pass or in the woods. The next few things that flew into view were just a part of the person, spurting blood as it spun in mid-air. The whole tree shook and fell.

The battle seemed to be coming to an end every moment. There's too much screaming, too much howling. Too many deaths. But it goes on. It drags and drags. That's enough time for Androx to change his standing stance twice and take the weight off his ribs.

Until the ogre let out a whimpering howl, the sound was abruptly interrupted and replaced by the cheers of the people. It is impossible to guess how many, but it is enough to form a group. Enough for half of their numbers to lose to the mythical beast, but still win.

Aguna looked at Androx, with fake humor in her voice, and said, "Well, I guess that means the road is not safe. What's your next thought?"
