Chapter 25 - 025 Sleep 1

Chapter 25 025 Sleep 1

As night fell, the riverbanks lit up with bonfires.

After a fierce battle, the humans finally obtained the final victory.

This was a bitter victory.

More than half of the 1,000-strong army had died in battle, and all the survivors were injured.

However, after this battle.

This group of soldiers had a qualitative change in their aura. It was as if after the baptism of blood and fire, they were showing signs of turning into a legitimate army.

The camp was filled with the strong smell of blood, and the mutilated bodies had not been cleaned up in time.

However, the survivors did not care. They enjoyed the rare hot food while bragging about their heroic performance during the day.

Sal did not participate in the enthusiastic conversation of his companions. Instead, he picked up a bunch of roasted herring and walked toward the tent in the center of the camp. It seemed like his left foot was injured and he was limping

However, the injury was nothing in the camp.

There was a knight with bandages on his upper body standing guard outside the tent.

Sal knew that this was a knight from the Angele family. His name was Raymond.

The knight was holding a long sword. He had his head lowered and his eyes were closed. It seemed like he was praying.

Sal passed by him, but he did not respond, as if he was a statue.

“Miss Vera, do you want to eat something?”

“No.”

Vera did not turn around and softly refused.

Sal quietly looked up, only to see Vera’s graceful back and her snow-white long hair.

“You have to take care of your body, you have to eat something…”

Sal was still trying to persuade her, but Vera still did not respond. She just stared blankly at the man in front of her who seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

That man was, of course, Colin.

However, at this moment, Colin was not playing dead to gain sympathy.

Instead, he had fallen asleep.

After all, the injuries he had suffered before were too severe, and he had lost too much blood. Of course, perhaps he was also stimulated by the last scene that was not suitable for children.

In short, Colin fell into a deep sleep.

If he was not still breathing, everyone would have thought that he was dead.

With such terrible injuries, no one thought that Colin could survive.

In fact, in the eyes of everyone, it was already a miracle that he could hold on until now.

Only Vera was unwilling to give up. She continued to bandage Colin’s wounds and took care of him meticulously.

As if noticing that Colin’s lips were a little dry and cracked, Vera quickly dabbed some water on the gauze and gently wiped Colin’s mouth.

Seeing this scene, Sal was filled with jealousy. He wished that he was the one being taken care of by Vera while he was lying on the bed.

“Miss Vera, let me take care of Knight Colin. You should go and rest.”

“No need.” Vera rejected Sal’s good intentions once again. At the same time, she waved her hand, indicating for the mercenary to leave.

Sal could only bury his disappointment deep in his heart and leave the tent.

“Meow.”

Whitey came out of nowhere again and came to Colin’s side. It gently licked his cheek as if it wanted to wake up its “human slave.”.

Vera put down the veil and stared at Colin’s pale face for a long time.

Then, she crossed her hands and clasped them in front of her chest, making a praying gesture.

“Almighty God of Light, please have mercy on this brave and fearless knight!”

This was the first time Vera prayed in her life.

Perhaps, this was also the first mage who prayed to the God of Light.

“If I can have the honor to witness your grace and mercy, then, in this lifetime, I will always serve you!”

This female mage who had always pursued the arcane truth was willing to offer her faith to a god for a man!

Did the God of Light listen to this mage’s prayer?

Was he willing to accept the conversion of such a heretic?

There was no light beam that fell from the sky.

No angel appeared. Colin did not wake up miraculously.

It was as if nothing had happened.

Only Knight Bliss who had just walked out of the tent suddenly stopped. He seemed to realize that he might have heard something that he should not have.

After a long while, when there was no more sound coming from the tent, Bliss walked in again.

This knight was also a seriously injured person.

His entire right arm had been cut off, and his body was covered with bandages, which were still bleeding

However, he still had that calm and indifferent expression, as if he did not care about his injuries at all.

“Miss, the casualty statistics have been preliminarily completed. In this battle, we lost 428 soldiers, and more than 350 people are seriously injured. The rest are minor injuries…”

Vera did not have any concept of such casualty statistics and just listened quietly.

However, for an old general like Knight Bliss, this battle was definitely a miracle.

One had to know that such a loss ratio, even in the most elite regular army, was enough to cause the entire army to collapse. However, these miscellaneous soldiers of the River Bay camp stubbornly fought to the end and even won.

Perhaps Vera had contributed to this, after all, her identity had enough appeal.

However, Bliss was very clear that more of it was Colin’s plan of going all out.

Thinking of this, he looked at Colin on the bed with admiration and pity and continued to ask,

“Miss, what should we do next?”

Hearing this question, Vera was a little confused. “What do you think?”

“There were two wolf cavalry units that followed us to the river. Although we just defeated one of them, we are still not completely out of danger.

“Although the other wolf cavalry unit was confused by our arrangement and has already crossed the river, they will soon realize that something is wrong and turn back.

“However, the great victory we just obtained will make the other party hesitate. They won’t be able to figure out our actual strength and won’t be too quick to decide on chasing us.

“Therefore, my opinion is to continue to guard the river bend and send messengers to nearby cities to request reinforcements.

“As long as our reinforcements arrive before the trolls gather more pursuers, we will be safe.”

Vera was a little silent.

She could hear the uncertainty in Knight Bliss’ words, but she could not come up with a better idea.

At this time, she naturally turned her gaze to the sleeping Colin.

If he could wake up, there must be a better way.

“Alright, we’ll do as you say.”

“Yes!”

After leaving the tent, Bliss walked with his head lowered.

He was considering which direction to send the messengers for help, and how he could avoid being intercepted by the trolls on the way…

“Clatter clatter clatter…”

The sound of horse hooves interrupted Bliss’s thoughts. He looked up and saw two cavalrymen running toward the camp.

He quickly recognized one of them as the cavalryman he had sent out to guard the surroundings, but he did not recognize the other person.

However, he recognized the armor on the other person’s body!

This pure black standard armor was only equipped by one army in the Glorious Empire.

The Black Knights!

Bliss was ecstatic. He could not help but turn his head to look in the direction of Vera’s tent. A thought flashed through his mind…

Did the God of Light answer her prayers?
