Chapter 13: Best Friends
The red sun on the horizon made a slight jump and floated to the horizon.
The plain was full of corpses, and the sun shone on this red-stained land.
Only a headless corpse stood in the center, obviously the blood had drained.
Winifred had been killed, but he didn't expect that the enemy would have waited for them to send him to the door.
The man with the alexandrite sword was very strong, and Winifred could not deal with it.
It seemed that the bauhinia knights could be wiped out with the power of one person.
However, although the opponent expected the queen to launch a surprise attack, they did not know that the assassination team was divided into two groups.
When Milius arrived here with another team, he saw a miserable scene of depression.
The bauhinia knights looked at the corpses in front of them, all stunned, they didn't know what happened?
Obviously this operation is classified, how could anyone know this meeting and location?The enemy must have calculated it.
"What happened..."
There was a drop of cold sweat on Milius' forehead, and he felt that this task had become extremely difficult.
He looked around, saw the headless corpse standing on the battlefield, his expression was abruptly startled.
Although he didn't have a head, Milius could still recognize who it was, and the broken bauhinia shirt had it all.
Milius looked a little moved, his eyebrows were tightly locked on his forehead, and there was sadness in his heart.
As a close friend coming out of the same orphanage, seeing this scene does make Milius uncomfortable.
He knew how strong Winifred was, and in this end, the enemy's strength can be imagined.
Milius came to Winifred's body, picked up the magic book on the ground, and wiped the dust off it.
"Winifred, what have you experienced..."
"Master Milius! Here... there is another survivor here!" a knight shouted.
Milius opened his eyes wide, put Winifred's magic book away, turned and walked behind him.
Chapman, the lucky bauhinia knight squad leader survived, is the only survivor.
However, he was seriously injured in the battle with the enemy, his face was pale, and he looked dying.
Chapman was helped by several knights to sit up, and it took a few sips of water to relieve himself.
"What happened here? Why are people dead?" Milius' tone was a little anxious.
"Master Milius, we...we have encountered a strong enemy..." Chapman said breathlessly.
"Who?! Who did these things?!" Milius asked, angrily hit his forehead.
"A...a mysterious man named Sword Saint of Wind..." Chapman paused, and continued, "Master Winifred tried his best but failed to defeat that guy. He was cut by a sword. I lost my head..."
Milius' eyes trembled, and his expression was in a trance, "Sword Saint of the Wind? Who is this? I have never heard of it!"
"No...I don’t know, but that mysterious man is very powerful. Not only did he wipe out our team with a single sword, but even Master Winifred’s magic was also broken with a single sword. It’s hard to imagine that the enemy will hide. There is such a frightening hole card..." Chapman said panicked.
Milius fell into silence. Knowing this news would interfere with the assassination plan. The opponent had a powerful person sitting in town. Whether he should continue to execute the Queen's order is still a question.
"Master Milius..." Chapman raised his head, resisting the severe pain and asked, "What should we do now? It is obvious that Grand Duke Ofre has a strong trump card. This assassination... Should we continue?"
Milius didn't speak, but looked at Winifred's headless body, plunged into a moment of memory...
Milius and Winifred were orphans since childhood and were adopted by a small town orphanage.
The two have completely opposite personalities, one is calm and the other is irritable.
When he was a child, Milius was the most punished child by nuns and was rejected by others.
But fortunately, there was a friend Winifred, who helped Milius to speak good things, and offset a lot of punishment.
So in the eyes of outsiders, it is really incomprehensible that they can become friends.
One night, in the dormitory of the orphanage.
Today's Milius was beaten by the nun for stealing beef.
He was lying on the bed covered with straw mats, drying his swollen butt.
The nun outside carrying the oil lamp was patrolling, making sure that the children were all there before leaving.
There was no risk, little Winifred immediately lighted the oil lamp secretly and flipped through the cheap basics of magic books.
Isn’t the opposite Milius a painful ***, he still doesn’t forget to curse, “Damn old nun, I’m afraid it’s not the menopause, so I will vent my anger.”
"You can't blame anyone else, it's you who stole the beef. That's the food for all the kids." Little Winifred responded lightly.
"Shut up! You nerd, I want to eat meat, is it everyone's? The courageous, starved to death!" Xiaomi Lius retorted angrily with his teeth.
"That's it." Little Winifred responded faintly, seemingly not wanting to say anything more?
"Tsk!" Xiaomi Lius was a little dissatisfied with this cold reaction, "What are you looking at? You will be beaten if caught by the old nun."
"A beginner's magic book." William Frederick replied.
"Oh~, so diligent? You can be a thorn knight or something. It’s not difficult at all." Mi Lius said lightly, "A few days ago, a knight commander of the Bauhinia Knights came and said that I am talented. Smart, after practicing swordsmanship, the Thorns Knight will definitely have a place for me, ha~"
"Don't say it is so light, you are a talented person, it naturally feels easy, but most of them are as mediocre as me. The Knight of Thorns is the most noble knight in the empire. There is definitely no shortage of talented people. If I don't If you work a little harder, there is really no chance at all." Little Winifred showed a little sadness.
"Well, why are you trying so hard to become a Thorns Rider?" Xiaomi Lius grinned and said jokingly, "I won't be like me, in order to escape this ghost place and become a being respected by everyone. , And no one dares to bully me casually."
"I'm not as superficial as you." Little Winifred looked at the opposite side and said seriously, "Even if you hate this orphanage, it is still our home. Without this place, we would have been cold outside. died."
"What then?" Xiaomi Lius seemed to not eat this set, showing an expression of impatientness.
"So I want to guard this place. After becoming the Thorns Rider, I want to change the harsh living conditions here, so that every child can eat and wear warmth, and become their role model, letting them know that even if they are from an orphanage, in the future, You can also get ahead." Little Winifred said with firm eyes.
Mi Lius looked at her companion speechless, so she looked away silently and muttered a low voice.
"You guy..."
"It's boring."
Chapter 14: Monthly Ticket Plus
"Master Milius..."
Chapman saw that Milius was in a trance and couldn't help but remind him.
The situation is critical now. If you want to make a decision, you have to do it now.
Milius put away his memories, not looking at Winifred's headless body.
He looked around and saw that all the knights were watching him, waiting for him to make a decision.
Milius took a deep breath, and it seemed that there was already a result.
"Everyone returns to the imperial capital, don't continue this assassination mission..."
Milius gave the order to give up this task, I have to say that this is a wise choice.
Now that Winifred is killed, it is indeed very difficult to rely solely on Milius to assassinate himself.
Moreover, the guy called the Juggernaut was very powerful, and Milius had no bottom in his heart and couldn't let other people continue to die.
When other people heard Milius' decision, many of them were relieved and felt that they didn't have to fight hard.
But Milius hadn't spoken yet, and there was a supplement.
"After you return to the imperial capital, tell Her Majesty that I may never come back."
"Eh?!"
As soon as these words came out, many knights were shocked, feeling a little bleak in the words.
"Master Milius! You...what do you mean?!" Chapman asked suspiciously.
"I want to act alone and continue this assassination mission." Milius said decisively, "It is done, I am successful, and I am defeated, just a handful of loess."
"Calm down a little bit!" Chapman was shocked, and quickly persuaded, "Master Winifred has been killed, and the strength of our assassination team is greatly reduced. The opponents have mysterious masters who are sitting in town. It is not suitable to continue this. It's a secret mission. Even Her Majesty, she must be able to fully understand this and won't agree with you going your own way!"
"This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with anyone." Milius didn't hesitate in his tone, and had made up his mind.
"Since..." Chapman lowered his head and clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and stood up slowly, "Since Lord Milius wants to continue the assassination mission, then I will follow you too!"
"I'll go as well!"
"I can too!"
"Me too..."
For a while, many knights stood up, wanting to accompany Milius on the way, faintly showing a passionate atmosphere.
Milius looked at the knights in front of him and felt that he was going to assassinate, and there was no need to drag these people to death.
And at first he planned to take these people in a feint, creating a convenient opportunity to assassinate Grand Duke Ofre.
