Chapter 408

Donald dug a hole in the ground with only half of his knife left in his hand.

Although the soil of this grassland is still soft, digging a pit is not easy. After only digging half a person, he is already very tired and sweating.

After the war a few decades ago, the only strength left was almost drained.

But he stubbornly bit his teeth and continued to repeat his actions again and again.

Beside him, there was a bloody, even broken body, which could only be discerned from the conspicuous scar on his incomplete face. This was the veteran who had saved Donald before.

"I'll help."

After a short rest, the spirit of the recovery of some of the magician girl hilwen can not look down, leaning on a stick from nowhere to stand up.

"No, my lord magician, you'd better continue to rest."

Donald forced a smile on his face and turned back to work in silence.

"Don't look down on me just because I'm a girl. What I choose in college is intensive study of earth elements."

The girl drew out her tiny wand, spat out a string of incantations, and waved it gently. The hole in front of Donald gradually expanded in the form of visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you." Seeing that the pit gradually took on the appearance of a tomb, Donald hesitated for a moment, and finally said thanks to the girl.

"You're welcome. Didn't you say you would always protect me?"

The girl covered her mouth with a smile. Her eyes narrowed like a crescent moon. She looked very cute: "my master's retinue."

"Dharma, Dharma Master and so on..."

Probably thinking of what he had said before, Donald scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

He has been a strict tutor since he was a child. In addition, he has been dragged by his grandfather to practice sword and fighting skills for a long time. He has little experience with girls, so that he blushes when he talks to hillwin.

"Um, since I don't like to be a wizard's retinue," the girl looked more happy. "What about the knight? You can always protect me

"Please, please don't make fun of me..."

The boy protested weakly.

Then he turned his head as if he wanted to escape from the girl's topic. Despite being covered with blood (although it was not clean before), he put the old soldier's body in the tomb, covered it with earth, took off his helmet, and stood in front of the tomb for several minutes.

At first, he wanted to pick some flowers, but it was a pity that the grassland had turned yellow and could not find any flowers to use.

For a moment, both of them were silent. In their ears, in addition to the conversation of the surviving soldiers not far away, only the wind whistling on the prairie.

"My grandfather said that the best Medal of a soldier is the scar, and the best Tomb of a soldier is the battlefield."

After a long silence, Donald broke the silence: "although this elder has both, but Is he really satisfied with it? Is he really happy? "

"Of course not."

Without hesitation, the girl replied firmly: "although war will bring honor to some people, it will cause hundreds of times more pain and death than those honors. No one will be happy because of the war Although this era is unlikely, I hope that one day, war can be completely eradicated! "

"Your..."

Did not expect the girl will have such a big response, Donald was stunned, some hesitant to explore the inquiry.

"My parents died in the war, the border friction between cedria and Jonathan. When I was nine years old. " Hillwin didn't have any taboo about this. She told the young man casually: "after that, I stayed at my aunt's house until the admission notice of the college was sent to However, my aunt has no money to pay the tuition fee. The Dean specially allows me to make up for it after I become an official magician. "

“…… Sorry. "

For a moment, Donald didn't know what to say, and finally he apologized.

"Nothing."

Hillwin shrugged - a move that still follows Sylvie and is very popular at Aldrich college. Then she pointed to the leader not far away: "that is your officer, he seems to be calling you."

"Oh, oh."

Donald quickly put on his helmet, nodded to the girl and ran to the captain.

"We have some scouts back But they were all hurt badly. "

The captain turned his face. Not far behind him were the wounded scouts. Half of them were so seriously injured that they could not live for long.

Their mounts were loyal to their owners.

"Judging from the direction of the orcs' March, I'm afraid their next destination is the city of lovinia, which our army finally seized I asked, but I'm afraid you're the only one who can rideHe glared at Donald: "so I want you to get on the barking pony and go to lovinia before the orcs, and tell the legions there to guard against the orcs!"

Seeing Donald's hesitation, he sighed and added, "this task, to be honest, is very dangerous But if it works, lovinia's legions will be able to reduce casualties by at least 30%! Do you want them to do the same as us... "

Donald looked around. Countless people who had been his comrades in arms and existed alive not long ago had lost their signs of life. They lay quietly on the grass. Except for a few buried by their close friends, the others could only wait for decay - they could not stay in this dangerous area for too long to bury these bodies.

"I see." The young man's eyes became firm: "please let me go! Even if I give up my life, I will bring the information to you

Without waiting for the captain with a look of appreciation on his face to say something, a crisp and awe inspiring voice suddenly rang up.

"I'll go too."

Hillwin came to them on a stick: "I'm very light. The barking horse can carry two people as fast as one. And if I was there, the success rate of this mission would be higher? "

"Master magician?"

The captain looked at the girl in dismay: "are you really OK like this?"

After the three magicians were safe, he still remembered the painful look on their faces because of excessive casting.

"It doesn't matter. I've almost recovered."

The girl opened her hands and turned around in the same place to show that she had recovered, but the stick in her hand lowered the credibility of her words to below average.

"Besides, even if there is danger, my mage's retinue will protect me, right?"

"Master's servant?"

The captain's suspicious eyes turned around a few times between hillwin and Donald, and finally gave Donald a "good job!" The eyes.

So, finally, hillwin said goodbye to her two mage companions and set out with Donald to lovinia.

Occasionally, the two of them communicate along the way.

But the more we move forward, the less communication they have.

Because the air has begun to have a faint smell of blood. After the baptism of war, they all have a different sensitivity to the taste.

Two people looked at the same, from each other's eyes to see a meaning.

I'm afraid there's a fight ahead.

They decided to bypass the main battlefields in order not to create extra troubles.

But the more we move forward, the more bloody it will be.

As the foal passed by a stream, hillwin suddenly exclaimed, but covered her mouth again.

"What's the matter?"

Asked Donald, agonized by the lingering smell of blood.

Hillwin, pale, leaned up to Donald's ear and bit it, which made the teenager feel itchy.

Unfortunately, the content of the whisper is not good.

"It's not water in the stream on the ground It's blood

Donald's face changed.

It's not an adjective like a stream dyed red, but a stream directly made up of blood

How many people must die!

"Let's go and see what's going on?" As soon as the boy bit his teeth, he drove his restless barking foal to the place where the smell of blood was most intense.

"But shouldn't we avoid accidents at this time?"

Although the girl is equally curious, she is surprisingly rational.

"The situation should change now. The new information should be more valuable than the old one."

Said Donald, with a good voice.

Hillwin, who had not learned the relevant knowledge, was also convinced. She drew out her magic wand to be on guard, and her breath was a little short.

Then they saw a mountain.

What should have been the center of the forest seemed to have been bombed by some destructive force. All the trees in the center disappeared, while the trees in the surrounding area showed a radial lodging towards the periphery.

The ground is also covered with all kinds of holes, some are still smoking, some are neatly cut, some are left with ice, some have green liquid inside, some even grow weeds

In this open space, there is a hill.

It's a hill of innumerable Orc corpses!

On this order of magnitude, it's not just the orcs who attacked Donald and them, but at least five times as many orcs gathered here and died here.

Many streams of blood, which have begun to turn dark red, originate from this hill and wind in all directions.

In the sky above the corpse hill, a figure was floating over there, as if he had not seen the dead and miserable corpses under his feet, and was thinking about something.Just as Donald is considering whether to run away quickly, the girl behind him screams again.
