Anchors sat by the small fire, wondering how long he would be able to sleep tonight. His head was like soaked dirt, and there was a strange ache in his stomach that only fatigue could have, and he could already hear nightmarish creatures wandering among the rocks and bushes, far from the fire, only shadows of shadows.

It's a terrible camping spot, let alone being chased; A flat, open, rocky meadow between the peaks, but that's exactly where they travel. There are no trees, no vine-filled bushes. There are no boulders to block the wind. There was only snow, rocks, and a cold wind that never ceased, and above them there was a half moon that made half the stars in the sky hang down. What's the use of hiding? The monster knows where he is. They always did so, and when he approached them, they crawled out of the shadows and hidden, and then followed him so far away that he could only catch a glimpse of them.

They don't come in droves. There are so many different kinds that they never work together. No, they would wait, as usual, coming a few at a time, pacing all night, not allowing anyone to get a real break. Gabi is worn like a rope; She stopped arranging her hair and her clothes, and she became so irritable that even Ash put her wolf head on Flower's lap.

But after four days like this, he couldn't blame her. Or flowers, with his calm words and empty, distant eyes. And Aguna, at the end of the day, she had an extra handful of sand with every step she took, and by dusk she was carrying an unbearable burden. If they reached Dikaya, if she had anything left, she would be as thin as Gabi.

Anchors sighed and looked away from the fire, as he was the only one watching the attack. Others huddled under the blankets, staring at the southern sky. They've been spending more time lately waiting for the wolf sca

The return on. He didn't know if they were really looking, or if it was just a habit to turn their heads in that direction.

When he heard the first attack of the night, he was not at all afraid. Just annoyance, if any. Most of it is exhausting emptiness. But they all heard the sound of something stepping on unstable ground somewhere behind them. The children froze, and Aguna kept her charm. "I'm ready, ogre." She said her voice was hoarse from thirst and she hadn't spoken all day. What else is there to say?

He stood there, cowering at the pain in his ribs, which still didn't get better. Maybe a little, but not enough. At least under the stitched carpet, the skin on his arm was finally starting to heal. Normally, they are still together now.

Using the hilt of his spear as a crutch, he stumbled in the direction of the sound, wondering what it would be this time. A child-sized half-goat again? Another hairless bear with two arms and four legs? He didn't see anything glowing, so it wasn't those leaves with ash eyes. Oh. He'll figure it out soon.

Behind him, Agna's soap bubble magic shield appeared, casting a faint shade of blue over the shadows. He still couldn't see the thing invading their camp, but about ten paces up the rocky slope, the snowy gravel creaked again. Close enough.

Okles gathered his killing intent and squeezed it out of itself, and thanks to the gods, it responded. One breath passed, and another breath passed, and then the thing suddenly ignited a flame, and the whole area lit up like a festival. He hadn't thought of it, but apparently it was covered in dry hair.

Its screams of pain were piercing and high-pitched. It was about the same height as Agnar and about the same as a human, except that it had no legs - two extra arms at the legs. It has a stout hand at the end of its limbs, fingers twice as long as a normal person, and a thumb. It has a small head, mostly a mouth, and a long tongue that spins when it slaps flames.

The horrible creature made a final effort and lunged at him, fingers sticking out. He let it reach him, let its fingers grab his throat, and then he pushed his killing intent a little further, burning its interior. Suppressors. Some kind of monster that strangles the night. That's it. Two more equally piercing screams came from either side behind him, and he turned to find that they had been trying to outflank him from the flank.

Too bad for them, A

d

Okles' murderous intent cannot be flanked. They're pretty close, though. Close enough to avoid most men falling. Close enough to be a torch against the restless darkness.

His murderous intent vanished before he was ready. He'd been doing this lately, as if his tired mind was losing control of the power in him. It hasn't let him down, though. It had gotten stronger and hotter since the wolf scar cleared the miasma that was blocking its flow, but he didn't dare to release too much right away lest he lose control when he was exhausted. God knows what will happen then.

But now, the matter has been settled. The murderous creatures did not flee to the campfire. Let them burn, and let all the creatures of this mountain meadow, abandoned by God, watch them die. Wait a while. Finally relieved.

He limped back to the campfire and sat down again. He hates to sit and sleep; This made him feel pain and uneasiness. Just sleeping on and off for a few hours won't help, but there's nothing you can do about it. As soon as you stand up and slow for a few seconds, some monster will twist Ga

bi's neck, or drag Flowe away

, or stab Agunn in the back.

"I hate the smell." It's not so much a complaint as a blame for him for causing it.

"Me too," Hana said. "It's stupid. We shouldn't be here. ”

A

d

Okles kept his mouth shut, too tired to even think of an answer that wouldn't cause him trouble. He met Arguern's gaze, and Agn raised his eyebrows slightly, as if to say, "In the name of the adulterous gods, Androcles, I'm fed up with these nasty imps!"

A faint smile made the corners of his mouth go up. "Me too." He nodded silently. "Let's use them as bait."

"What are you laughing at?" Gabi said angrily.

"Nothing," said Andoks. Go to sleep. ”

"No, why are you laughing?" Gabi insisted angrily. She's angry about what's going on, but Andlox suspects she doesn't know what's going on.

"Daddy can laugh when he wants!" Xiaohua said sharply.

"Mind your own business! Gabi replied sharply.

Lucky for both of them, they didn't reach for it because he really wanted to kill them both.

"Quiet, my darlings." Agnn said, her voice gentle and motherly, even though she was clearly prepared to strangle them. "We don't need to fight each other, do we?" There are so many other things to fight for. ”

"I didn't fight," Gabi insisted.

"No, you are!" You speak so harshly to your dad and he doesn't do anything. You're so mean to everyone! Flowers said.

"I didn't!" Don't be stupid!"

"Kids." Aguna interjected. She spoke as quietly as a grave. "If you don't stop right away, I'll flip a coin to decide which of you we want to keep. I don't want to fight anymore. Do you understand?"

"No, you won't." The two children said almost at the same time.

Aguna almost strangled them. Andlox could tell the tension on her face as she suppressed the urge.

"Stop imitating me," said Galby.

"Stop talking. Go to sleep. Androl said.

"She imitates me," Hua muttered.

"No, I didn't," said Galby.

Thank you, gods, this is the last time. They fell into an uneasy, unsettling tranquility again, and both were too tired to sleep, frowning at the southern sky.

Gabby fidgets angrily, unable to make herself comfortable in a position she's always been comfortable with. Andlocks watched her temper grow like a pot of steaming about to boil. However, before she could get angry, Bobby, a stag cursed three times, came over and rubbed her nose in the face like a dog. The poor girl's mood quickly changed, and after a while, she picked up Bobby's huge head in her hand and rubbed his nose against him. Twice Agn had to sideways to dodge the antler spikes, but it was a small price.

Andlox found himself waking up violently after taking too much of a nap. He didn't even realize he was asleep. He decided to watch out for a little more danger. After a few heartbeats, he found himself awakened again and let out an exclamation.

Flower stared at him. What the boy was planning. His little mind worked, his shining yellow eyes glittering with new life in the dim light of the fire. The moonlight reflected in his snow-white hair, and his ears almost seemed to glow. Or, his posture is a little wrong. He..., it could be bad.

A

d

Okles began to speak, wanting to ask, but Flowe

opened his mouth.

The next thing Androx knew, the sun was shining on his eyelids. Waking up was an instantaneous event, not a process, because panic caused him to wake up and regain consciousness. He realized that he had been lying down. He sat up quickly and looked around.

The sky was bright. There was silence all around. Flower sat up, but only reluctantly. He wrapped himself in a blanket and leaned forward, ready to fall. Aguna and Gabi snuggled tightly together. Poppy and Ash are also asleep, right where they slept before.

The gods were above, and the boy sang. He didn't know where he found the energy, but he kept singing the song of sleep and somehow spent the whole night.

"Are you feeling better, Daddy?" Hua whispered, unable to speak anymore.

"Many".

"Good". With that, he collapsed.

Androcles cautiously walked up to him, but thankfully, his son was still alive. Just sleep. His thin, skinny body had exhausted the last of its strength, and he was finished.

It was only then that Androxes began to notice the dark shadows around them. The nearest one was only five paces away, and it was a pile of hairy meat, the size of a horse. But there's more. Dozens of such people. Silent creatures of every imaginable color and shape lined up in a ten-man deep row in their small camp.

All asleep. The flowers made them all sleep. When Anchors heard the first of them grunt uneasily, his initial sense of wonder quickly faded. That's the end of the slow morning after a good night's sleep.

Ash and Bobby moved, silently standing up. Both the wolf and the stag watched the animals around them warily, without making a sound, and Poppy did not snort at it with a condescending look. All of its attention was on the monsters. At least the cursed beast, he thought, was smart enough to know when someone was hunting it.

Ash tiptoed over and sniffed Gabby to wake her up, so Anchors hurried in, dug her face out of the blanket and covered her mouth with his hand. She struggled for a moment with astonishing ferocity, but when she opened her eyes and saw that it was him, she fell silent.

He wanted to give Arguen the same treatment, but Gabi pushed his hand away and glared at him. Then she leaned down and whispered in Agura's ear. The woman woke up without even yawning, and she sat up cautiously, avoiding any sound.

She looked around, then pointed at Flor, an eyebrow arched.

He nodded.

Argne looked around again and whispered a word. He thought four times before he understood what she was saying, "Horse?"

He didn't notice it was gone. Where's that stupid thing? He couldn't see anywhere. Everything is asleep, how can it be taken away? To see better, he stood up again and even took a step or two in one direction or another to raise the angle.

When he finally found it, he really started to worry because it was about twenty paces away from the other ten silver-haired animals. He recognized it only because of its dark brown fur that stood out among other animals. The silver things were all huddled together like that, and as they dragged it along, the song of the flowers finally caught up with them. How they got to this point, he didn't want to know.

He pointed, and the women looked at it. Gabby seemed confused, but Agunn frowned. She must have thought the same as he thought - how could they take it out without waking the others?

The women stood up very, very quietly and began to roll up the blankets. Around them, there was nothing but the silence of the early morning and the cold air. There was no sound at all, not even the morning birds.

What now? Agunn can make a shield, but it can't withstand any actual attacks. She can protect the children and food from his wrath, but if he goes too far, the monsters will come in and they're finished. Twenty steps may be too far. They will be affected.

Androx looked at it again, considering the possibility of getting the horse back. They can be slim. He had to stab all the silver-fur things to death, kill them one by one silently, and then wake up the horse and bring it back without alarming anything. During this time, all it takes is one voice for things to get bad.

No, they must now put it behind them and slip away as fast as they can before everything starts to wake up. Of course, someone has to hold the flowers. He can't walk, he will fall off a stag, break his neck, or wake up from his sleep in agony. Androx wasn't sure which outcome was worse.

The exhaustion that had been building up over the months was now gone, and he felt better than ever. He felt like he was sleeping in a bed instead of on rocky dirt. He only had pain in the area where he was injured, and it was rare for someone his age to sleep so roughly. His mind, body, and spirit were rejuvenated.

However, here he was, having to leave more of the food they desperately needed – the horses still had most of the food in their bags. What else could he do? What he needs now is an army, a group of brave and resourceful young men who want to prove their mettle, and preferably drunk. Or a thousand fairies lifted him up with a huge basket.

He was ready for the end of everything. All of it. He was ready to go home to eat fish and take the children to the gym and bathroom. He was going to invite all the dignitaries of Digaya to a luncheon, and then he would ask Garbi to introduce himself and make them all jealous that he didn't have such a daughter. He wondered how long the other women in the town would bow when Aguna walked by.

But in this cold valley, none of these things exist. All he had now were a few hundred twisted monsters and more that he couldn't fit into his arm.

Acorios has always hated traveling. Once, this man offered a goat to all the gods and begged them to let the next war take place at the gates of the city of Dikaya, so that he would not have to march everywhere. If he were here now, he would have said......

A

d

OKLES paused. It was hard for him to imagine what this man would look like unless he thought about it. He had never had a problem like this before; His heart ached intensely whenever he thought of a dead friend, and he could barely erase their voices from his ears and their faces from his mind. He always felt that in a way, they called him from the grave and would never let him go. But now, this man is as much a memory as everyone else. A lovely man with a long red beard and fierce eyebrows that hides his compassionate heart. A person who will never be forgotten. But now it's just a memory.

His hand stopped on his heart, and that dark miasma was in Wolf's sca

Been there for many years before opening it. All this time, Androcles was unconsciously collecting it, stuffing it into his mouth, collecting a hundred battlefield deaths and poisons, countless deaths...... Now, there is nothing there but light. The energy of his killing intent flowed gently through his entire body, no longer blocked.

Well, there's no time to dwell on it now. He still has many years to spare, and then he can think about it.

Agunn and Gabby watched him silently, their blankets rolled up and ready to leave. He pointed to the horse and shook his head. No, we've got to leave it here.

The strong little woman frowned, then looked away. She knew exactly what that meant and how bad things were going to go. Winter isn't a good time to choose between tools, bedding, and food, but that's exactly what the useless Twin Tooth Road cleaners think should be given to them.

He handed the spear to Galby, and with one peeling arm he gently lifted the sleeping flower, and with the other he picked up the heavy bag of money. His ribs squeaked in pain, and he felt a sharp pain from his eyebrows to his toes, but he didn't care. There is nothing to be done.

Agunn handed the largest blanket to Gabi and took the other one himself. She gathered some dough, a little barley flour and sparks and put them in a bag, then stuck the knife in her belt. She looked at him with red eyes and nodded. He never liked horses, because whenever he wanted to ride one, they died, but she died, poor woman.

Okles walked ahead and headed south. He walked slowly and carefully across the dangerous ground, trying not to make a sound in the snow so as not to slip on the wet rocks beneath the snow. His steps were pressed close together so that the women would not be bothered by his footprints, and their shoes were a little dryer.

He had to carefully walk slowly and quietly around the hordes of sleeping monsters and beasts. He didn't like the taste; Each group is different, and none of them are pleasant. A group of dogs with ears like rabbits smelled like feces, and a group of hairless humanoids smelled like my slaves. The particularly poor ones - they had no heads, sleeping on their stomachs in the snow, with red, teary sores under their armpits.

It occurred to him that in a few more nights like this, he would have to start picking out what he was going to eat.

The rest of the morning was cold and silent. The only sound was the sound of his creaking footsteps in the snow. The warm sun comes earlier here than the shade below, but the air is colder. A

d

Okles led them south through the high meadows, then down a bare rock avalanche towards a passage between the sloping peaks. All in all, it's only a few miles, but it's slow, and it's getting slower. It seemed like a good idea to hold Flower at the time, but the boy became too fat. He was almost motionless; He didn't move, and Angelus checked twice to make sure he was still breathing.

Be that as it may, A

d

Okles still walked with his head held high. Proud, brave, full of spirit, like a real soldier. What if death is close at hand? He's faced it hundreds of times. What if his family died? He's done his best. So what if every step creates a white ache from the ribs to the knees and eyebrows? Now there's nothing he can do. There is only pain. No, from now on he will move forward like a man, that's all. He didn't sing, though. There is no reason to take unnecessary risks.

The pass was long and narrow, probably a mile away, but it formed a long slope on the mountainside into a huge valley with a mix of woods and farmland below.

It was there that the king's army had been assembled, and they were scattered everywhere like grains that had fallen from the miller's yard. They were dressed up, their armor and weapons glistening in the evening sun. They were widely distributed, arranged in long, narrow strips over miles of land, and the clusters reminded him of the fruit on a long vine.

He tried to estimate, but the number soon exceeded 50,000. A huge army. As far as he knew, there were only a handful of countries that could form such a large army in such a short time. How long ago did he escape from the palace? Two weeks? Three?

Despite the distance between him and the nearest warriors, they both appeared to be carrying weapons. Most of them had horses, which meant that it was only the king's cavalry, and only those who were close enough to him to respond to his call in time and get here. How many valets can he summon if he wants to? How did he get the news out? That strange whistle was the only answer Androx could think of. Someday he'll understand.

He had been a slave to the king and had never made such an impression on him that this man was so powerful. Most of his time in the barracks was busy with chores, tending to the king's horses, preparing the feasts that were often held, and so on. But how much did Andlos know about the court of the barbarians? Maybe they are all like that. As far as he knew, the king's numerous guests each led an army of five hundred men.

One thing is for sure, though. If the great king Lugubele

Us decided to gather all his armies, as they had to gather from so many defeated weak kings, which could be a force that could defeat even the invincible army of glory. Maybe she'll be able to beat them by numbers alone. Worse, no one would have expected it. Few Affinians believe that in the north there is much noteworthiness, although there are barbarians of one kind or another who appear and show feats of strength or fight a good battle. Occasionally, there are border clashes where one side or the other tries to steal a little more farmland, but it's no big deal. There are some deals; Mainly gold and textiles. And the Demon Berserkers. A precious commodity that only a great king can control. No wonder he is rich and powerful.

"Mary's nipples, Andlox, that's a lot of soldiers." Aguna panted and caught up with him.

"Well, I'm going to try to avoid fighting them at the same time. Do you think we can get them to line up for me?"

"Dad? The flower muttered, finally moving. Hardly.

"Go back to sleep, kid."

"Okay." He stopped.

Androx grinned at Argern, but she was restless, frowning, and didn't look back at him.

"What should we do?" She asked bluntly.

"I'd like to have breakfast late."

"No, what are we going to do with the army, you half-haired donkey?" She shouted.

"Guess which half are donkeys?" He asked her in a low, sultry voice.

“A

d

okles。 Agunn wasn't funny. At least, she didn't show it.

"Daddy." Gabi said, echoing Agun's tone. She frowned at his big bag of money, which she held in her lap and held it in both hands. Her mount—may the gods do the tick-ridden beast—glanced at him in the same way, but with a more condescending side-eye.

He sighed and looked back at the long valley. The foothills on his side are pleasant terrain, with only gentle hills, few jagged rocks and narrow passages. But on the other side, about 10 miles of flat farmland, another group of smaller mountains rises from the ground, rocky and angular. A path appeared to have been dug out of the canyon, the narrowest passage he could possibly find.

Beyond that smaller mountain range, the land stretches for miles and is mostly hilly. In the midst of this vast expanse of wilderness lived Pepper and the demons who had imprisoned him, and in the distance, out of sight in the low purple mist, stood the mountains of glory.

"Oh, Dad, what's those footprints?" Galbi asked, pointing to a series of small holes at the bottom of the valley that formed the illusion of a path that crossed from one end to the other.

"They're not footprints. Nothing leaves such a footprint. Maybe a sink or something. They look like footprints. ”

"What if it is?" What if it comes back? Look, Dad, they even climbed the mountains there. ”

"They're not footprints."

"What if it is?"

He sighed. Poor thing. There's a whole army waiting to kill them, and she's worried about a bunch of holes in the ground. "Gabi, dear girl, those can't be footprints. If it were, what made them would have to be as big as the image that the wolf scar gave me that day. Remember? What would something that big eat? Where will it sleep? Why don't we see them all over the place? It can't hide at all, can it? There are no giants that big, otherwise we would have known about them a long time ago. ”

Aguna fidgeted impatiently, but she said, "That's too bad because I bet Gabi can convince it to take us away."

Andrew looked at her. Even with her short temper, she is still charming. "I don't doubt it," he said. He thought for a moment, and then said, "If only it could hear her on the ground from above."

"She would bend her fingers, and her fingers would fall to their knees and listen."

He snorted with laughter. But Arguna seemed to be no longer accommodating him, so he said, "Well, that's how I see it." Wolf sca

The monsters are chasing us because the king has enchanted them, so they must be reporting our whereabouts. He scattered his troops all there, knowing we were going to try to get through here.

"Now, do you see that little pass on the other side of the road? If we can get there, it doesn't matter how many people the king has brought, because they can only catch up with a few of us at a time. He would stop us before we arrived. They may leave the entire production line on overnight, with more people awake than asleep.

"As soon as someone finds out about us, they will carry a message and the line will collapse. They don't have to worry about formations or strategies and things like that, because I'm not an army. As long as they surround me, they may end up taking me down. At this point, the king doesn't seem to care how many people are needed. He wants my money and my blood, and that's the way it is. ”

"So how do we get there?" Agnn asked.

"I don't know," he said honestly.

"Well, you'd better hurry up and figure it out, Androx."

"My thoughts. First, we may have to separate. Maybe I'll get their attention, and you can slip through somewhere else. But I'm not sure if it works, because they're all coming towards me, riding through wherever you want to cross. But if we go to fight a battle together, we can't escape. You can't hold a shield while you run away, and I don't want to poke them one by one with my spear. If we cross the river at night, they may still see us. You can see that they are all in the open area. Everything will be lit up tonight, and by that time the king's little pets may have returned. I'm surprised they haven't come yet. ”

"Even if that nasty stuff comes back up, you'll be able to handle it as well as before."

Until one of them shouted loudly, enough for a soldier to hear, anywhere on this line. Like I said, I'm thinking. ”

"Dad, we can wait until the flowers wake up and he can sing to put them to sleep," said Galby.

"I thought about this. But do you know what the problem is? Flower had already done this once. That's how we got out of the Great Hall, and all the parts were still on it. If I were King Lugubelenus, I would have everyone there put on earplugs and javelins and be ready for any gray-haired thunderbolt. ”

"Can you do it?" Can you plug your ears? Gabi asked.

"I don't know, but this is not the place to test it."

Gabby thought for a moment, her little heart trying to unravel the family's predicament. Her eyes were looking around, but her face suddenly lit up when she stared at something behind him. "Oh! She whispered.

"What?"

"Oh me, I just think I saw something. If the wolf sca

Wouldn't it help here?" She tried to restrain herself, but her mood was much better, and her wheat-blond hair was about to start glistening.

"What, did you see him?"

"No, I just think I saw it...... Something reminds me of him. "But it's far away, behind those mountains." The little girl pointed south, and Agunn and Anchors turned to see if they could catch a glimpse of something.

Nothing out of the ordinary, at least not yet. No naughty stars galloping through the treetops. A

d

"My other thought is, maybe I should leave you here and go there myself," Okles said. See if I can kill enough people to end this. The problem with this is that the king will take all his demons with him. About 20 pcs. I don't want to go up against them in public. He didn't mess with them - his witchcraft dispelled my anger, and he wasn't a poor warrior. We're going to- oh my God, he's coming! Look, it's right there!"

Anders pointed to the flickering light, barely visible in the bright morning sunlight, drifting from the distant mountains into the long valley. The wolf scar flew low and fast so that he was unlikely to be spotted by the whole army at once. Whether this is intentional or not, only the gods know.

The fairy crossed the line at such a fast speed that the soldiers did not react at all, except to be startled and scratched their heads, wondering what had just happened. But after that, wolf sca

Not knowing where to go, he scurried between a bush and a pile of boulders before running back.

Aguna ran to an open area, where it was easier to find her. Gabby's stag dragged her tightly behind, and Anloclus followed. However, for various reasons, he was unable to move quickly, and when he got there, he found that Wolf Scar had turned around and was walking towards where he had come from.

"Where is he going?" Gabbie asked, her excitement slowly fading away like wine from a jar that had fallen to the ground.

"He must have seen us," said Agner. He was there when he turned around. ”

"Well, did he even see you?" Androx said.

Agunn thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, he did. I'm pretty sure. Now that he knows where to take Pepper, he'll probably go to him. ”

"Well, I suppose, the first step in our bold plan to escape from the army is to sit here and wait for him to come back. I'll tell you when I think of what to do next. ”

"Well," said Agner, "then stop being a little pimple and move to a less conspicuous place."

The place she showed them was just as good as the rest of the place, with a view of the valley below as they waited. The wait is welcome, as the flower is getting heavier and the Andox is ready to put it down.

Gabby told her deer to sit down, and she sat down against its belly, while it watched its surroundings alertly, especially Angelo. He hated it more and more every day. Every time he glanced at it, it stared at him, as if to watch out for him. Stupid beast. Gabi stroked it, scratching its chin like a cat. At this moment the wolf crawled in and sat on her lap, wanting to get its own love, which kept the poor girl's hands busy for a while. She sat between two large animals, which looked small in comparison. Maybe he's finally looking at her from the right angle, she's a cute little thing. She was lost in almost all her fur, with only her small head and shoulders exposed.

Aguna gently pulled the flower off Androcleus's back and held him to her chest, her chin resting on her shoulder. She sat in a crook where she could lean against an old knotted tree. The boy barely responded. Androcles had seen more life on the dead.

He wanted to sit down, but he had to stand up again, his ribs still hurting. He stabbed it again, stabbing his eyes with tears. The cold air didn't do much either. But as far as he knew, they were intact. but cracked, not broken. He needed to stop worrying. There was nothing he could do about it, and maybe he could only go down and kill a few aliens and ask for their cloth so that he could tie his chest properly.

"I hope Wolf Scar didn't come to us with Pepper through fifty miles of rugged forests and snow."

"Now I have an idea, Andrax. Thank you for sharing your humor with us. I didn't have much to worry about before," Agunn said. She lashed out at herself and glared at the ground, but in a way, he knew she wasn't as upset as she appeared. Probably just worried. It must have been a good night's sleep - she must have been too tired to worry too much.

"I believe in Wolf SCA

Know where to find enough dead bugs to keep him alive. ”A

Okles said he couldn't control his soldier humor.

Agunn chooses to go with the flow rather than complain and encourage him to keep going. The silence continued as they relaxed, but it wasn't long before Anchors began pacing and Gabby began to look impatient. It's too bad because she can't go anywhere unless the animals choose to let her go. Even Aguna has been changing her weight and changing her job. She straightened the bag on her belt, then gently stroked Flower's back with her fingers, then tried to press her unkempt hair back into place.

Rest is not good for them because no one gets tired. They all had the best sleep of their lives, and it was early. Sitting idly is unbearable, and all three of them feel that way. A

d

Okles kind of wanted to wake Flowe up

, just to be a nuisance.

In less than ten minutes, the army was on the move. The nearest place to him was also two or three miles away, and he could not hear any of their sounds, but he could see the soldiers gathering from their ranks in a mile-long army, forming clumps and clumps. He quickly understood the reason - the king had found him. In a way.

"Get up," he said. "Get up!"

Fear stole his breath, his skin chilled, and his fingers trembled despite his determination. He tried to swallow it, but he found it wouldn't leave. It was like the moment he fell in a dream - his fingers slipped and the branches were out of reach. At that moment, he was destined to fall, inevitable, and there was nothing he could do. Or the dream of falling from a three-lined warship in armor, and at that moment he realized that the heavy bronze armor was dragging him to the bottom of the sea, no matter how much he struggled.

The king's army gathered around him to surround him at all costs. Those who were due south of him were content to gather and wait. They were slowly reinforced into two columns, then three, then four. Thousands of people stood in his way. He watched in the distance as the two centaurs lined up and rode north, toward the hill he had just come. It will take them a long time to find him, an hour or more.

Garbi was the first to stand up, and she jumped back on top of her stag, which stood there, tapping with her hooves, ready to go. Anchors took the heavy bag of money back into her lap and chose not to say anything more than too much. It was difficult for Aguna to free herself from her comfortable lying position without tossing the flowers aside, so Androcles took her hand and lifted them both up.

Aguna acts as if she wants to keep holding him, but even though he's half her weight, he's as tall as her, which is ridiculous.

"Gabi, untie a few bandages. Hurry up. Two. No, don't argue. He said with his left arm outstretched. Growing frightened, her fingers trembling, she reached out and untied the two farthest bandages on his arm, revealing pale, cold skin and nests of stitches.

Androcles took the bandage and handed her the spear. He walked around Agun, tied Flower's hand, and then knelt down to tie his feet.

"You're not serious, ogre. You're going to tie him up? Agnn said. There was pain in her voice. He broke her heart. Oh my God, she must have thought he was doing something......

He hurriedly replied, "No, no, I did this so that he would not fall off the wolf." There is no other reason. I never will. He gently pried the flower away from her, placed him on top of the wolf with his stomach facing forward, and then bent the boy's knees so that his feet could reach in. They just stopped above the wolf's tail, and the flowers seemed to be somewhat stable. He took a step back. "Gabby, tell Ash to watch out for him. Do you understand? He's not going to fall. ”

"I think she understands, Daddy," said Galby. She showed no signs of particular concern.

Ash looked up at him for a moment, those bold yellow eyes staring at him. There is no tacit understanding between them. All he saw was an animal. Then she looked away, squirmed, and then swayed, and the flowers rested more easily on her back.

Bi kissed him on the forehead, then kissed him again. Then he walked over, put his arms around Agn, and hugged her tenderly. For a moment, she thought he was going to get rid of Flore, and it saddened her. He could feel it in her limp arm. He was disgusted by it.

The moment passed, and she walked away. "Now that they're starting to huddle together like that, there's a small chance that we'll slip out before the net closes," Androxes said. Scar and Pepper had to think of something else, but I suspect they haven't made it far. Everyone is together, keep a low profile. Hide out of sight. Do you understand? We headed southeast. Let those bastards chase us. Let's go. ”

Okles walked ahead and asked the others to follow. Of course, Gabby didn't have any trouble with her buck, while Ashe behaved well despite being burdened with a heavy load. Flower may have helped him by being so sluggish. Aguna walked behind, moving around as fast as Angeles thought her short legs could handle. He kept looking back at her. Each time, their eyes met awkwardly, and after walking about half a mile, she said, "Can you stop?" You're not an owl. You're going to hurt your neck, you idiot. ”

She was fine then. He put all his attention on the road ahead. Only two miles to the southwest, they left the mountainside and entered the woods that stretched along the valley. The area was mostly pine, unkempt and transparent, with long and soft needles, but there were still a lot of pines, and he could only guess where the soldiers might be.

They came to a small open field, which was a black piece of land, on which nothing wanted to grow. He motioned for everyone to stop, and then listened intently, looking around for signs of the King's marching band. He didn't hear anything, but that didn't mean anything. On this terrain, shouting doesn't travel far.

If the wolf sca

Here, things are much simpler. The little flying squirrel, tormented by God, chose the most inopportune time to escape. Unable to fly there on his own, Anchors could only guess on his own where the enemy was.

They rode on horses. All on horseback. So it's important. When they approach, they naturally avoid places where it is difficult for the horses to go, or wherever they get stuck and disrupt the formation. They would have to send one or two people to check on him in the dense woods, but the warbands would ride where it was easy.

If he's a warband, he just needs to keep an eye on where he wants to go, not there. Simple.

"Be quiet." Anchors said, making a gesture and moving again. He walked almost as fast as a jog, fast enough to walk well, slow enough to walk quietly, listening as he went. This time, the animals are shockingly silent, and both prey and predators are perfect for this hunting game. He had to check a few times to make sure they were still there. He didn't have to go to see Agern. She walks quietly, but her breathing is as heavy as the fattest athlete at the Olympics.

They walked a quarter of a mile, and another quarter of a mile; A

The okles watched very carefully the topography of the land, where it sank, where it rose, where the plants grew thicker or thinner. Snow or bare ground. Any indication that there may be a warband appearing. However, the land here is terrible. Sandy dirt, rough trees, clumps of dirt stuck to his shoes.

Once detached from the clay mud, the ground turns into soft loam and taller pine trees, with only rare snow and deep mud. In front, he felt like he saw a trail.

After walking another thirty paces or so, he could just see the path, and he and one of the king's men spotted each other at the same time.

Behind him was a whole detachment of men and horses, more than a hundred people on horseback, riding to kill. There was a shout among them, and they rushed forward kicking their horses.

Andlocks only had a few seconds to warn his family, but Agunn was ready. She rushed forward, grabbed Gabi's antlers, and pulled it back in the other direction. Gabi never lost her balance; She might as well sit on a chair in a stone palace. The wolf, as cautious as ever, turned and followed, holding the sleeping little flower behind Agun.
