Worm's figure appeared above the leader who was chanting Rusty Hammer's slogan, and then Rusty Hammer's howl suddenly stopped. Without the encouragement of that slogan, the remaining Rusty Hammers seemed to be at a loss, their offensive had slowed down, and their formations became even more chaotic. Eventually, some of them began to escape, like a school of fish that had opened the floodgates. If one jumped out, more would follow, until all the fish in the cabin had jumped out. "ended." The battle was extremely difficult, and many Sarkarz were injured. Even though there was a link that allowed everyone to advance and retreat as one, under the siege of hundreds or even thousands of Rusthammers, casualties were inevitable. The bodies of the fallen Sakaz were gathered together, and in Worm's hand was a box containing their mercenary nameplates. "Your Highness..." Hedley came behind him, but he just called and didn't know what to say. Is death common?So there is no need to regret the death of these people?Precisely because he often talked about it, Sakaz became even more silent and emotional when facing death. "I know, Hedley. Bury the bodies of our compatriots. We will move on... take their names with us, and wait until the Black Celebration to send their souls to the bloodline of Sarkaz."
Sakaz has its own festival to commemorate the souls of the dead. People will wear strange black costumes and play rhymeless songs with primitive musical instruments. People in the procession mutter unintelligible languages and shout slogans. They believe that all the ghosts of Sarkaz will be appeased on this day. "Yes, Your Highness." 26. Bloody battle "Worm... hiss, it hurts so much! Ines, please be gentle!" As the assaulter who followed Worm into battle, W was naturally the most vulnerable group of was also thanks to her own strength that she didn't get lost in that charge. "Stop talking nonsense, hurt more now, and live longer in the future." Ines did not tolerate her, and still cleaned her wounds with heavy hands. "I'll do it, Ines." It's just that a simple bandage will take a lot of time to allow the wound to recover, and Worm's blood magic can speed up the process. "Worm, please be gentle, squeak——!" The blood magic used to heal the wound felt painful and itchy. Even though he had experienced it once before, Dabuliu still couldn't stand it. "Ines is right, if you hurt more now, you can live longer in the future." "Yes, yes, Ines is right, Ines is right~" The little devil endured the itching pain from the wound, stared at the big white-legged potato beside him, and said angrily. She had not forgotten the mark on Worm's face two days had put the matter aside temporarily because she was in a hurry and couldn't find the other party, but now she thought about it again as soon as she took a break after the battle. "W, if you can't speak, you can keep your mouth shut." Ines didn't know why she was so crazy, but Worm was here, and no matter what Dabuliu did, there was someone who could cure her. "W, you did a great job this time."
Worm suddenly praised her loudly, and then before the little devil could react from the sudden compliment, he put his hand on the top of her head and rubbed it twice. "I-do you think of me as a child, Worm... If you want to rub your head, it's me who should rub your head." He also rubbed his head and praised... The little devil pretended to be disgusted and responded to Worm, but the raised tail behind her and the more genuine smile on her face showed that her words were not credible. "can." Worm's words made Dabuliu stunned again. What can be done?Rub your head? Looking into Worm's eyes, Dabuliu was sure that he heard correctly. "Well, then I really rubbed it." "can." Dabuliu's position on the car seat was slightly different from Worm's standing position, and he needed to bend down to reach his hair. Worm's hair is the same light white and pinkish color as Theresia's, and is very beautiful. During the battle, because Sarkota's clothes did not have a hat, some grains of sand got into his 's fingertips gently stroked the hair of the young man in front of him, helping him clean away the debris. Worm closed his eyes. He felt that if he kept staring at Dabuliu, the little devil would be extremely uncomfortable. "Gulu~." The boy in front of him closed his eyes and let her touch him in a very obedient manner, which made the little devil's weird thoughts start to trouble him again. She glanced at Ines on the other side, who seemed to be recording something, and let out a breath. "W?" A gentle touch made Worm open his eyes, and the little devil's smile was still in front of him. "I've touched enough, Worm." She took back her hand and said she was satisfied, but she always felt that she was still dazzling sight coming from the other side made the little devil's bad character suppress his obedient character again. "What are you looking at, Ines? Do you also want to rub the devil's hair? It's not a good habit to do this." "No one is as bold and bold as you." Looking at the little devil who was so proud that no one noticed, Ines was indifferent to her ridicule. "Do you want to touch, Ines? Thanks to the information you provided, the battle can be ended quickly." However, Worm seemed to take their bickering as a request and asked her seriously. "Hmm~?" Looking at the little devil's mocking expression and gestures, and looking at Worm's serious expression, Ines felt that she shouldn't let Dabuliu's arrogance become so arrogant that no one could suppress it.
"I'm taking the liberty, Your Highness." "Isn't someone not touching? Huh?" Dabuliu crossed his arms and hummed, but received no response. "..." Ines's fingers brushed the boy's throat, brushed his cheeks, the corners of his eyes, and finally landed on the top of his head. Dare to put his important head in front of her and let her touch it... so what if he is the devil?As long as you exert a little force, life will disappear in a fragile this feeling of being trusted is real. Ines can't get the link with Worm like other Sakaz, but she has her own way to feel Worm's reality. Ines quickly retracted her hand. Unlike Dabuli who had nothing to do after the fight, she still had many things to deal with as an intelligence officer. "How about it, Worm. Who feels more comfortable touching me or her?" After Ines left, Dabuliu asked the question she wanted to know might elevate someone for various reasons, but for Worm, he speaks out directly about such issues. "very similar." "Ha, almost?" Dabuliu rubbed his chin and thought about it. Her movements were so light that she couldn't even hold the handle of the knife with that much strength, but Worm said that Ines's strength was very similar to hers... Hmm~, I didn’t expect it. I didn’t expect it. "Hahaha, Ines is actually quite a motherly person. But does she really have such feelings?" Dabuliu didn't know, and Worm certainly didn't know either. 'Mother's love, I have it too. ' Theresia watched them rubbing Worm's head back and forth, which made her feel itchy. They had been rubbing Worm's head since Ines first-person view of the battle just now made her worried, but her child's performance made her happy and sad at the same time. - After counting the casualties, cleaning the battlefield, and burying the bodies of their dead companions, the convoy quickly left the area to prevent those rusty hammers like Originium Insects from emerging from any nook and cranny. "We still don't have enough people." Hedley was worried. Including civilians, there were less than 100 of them in this battle. With this small number of people, they had to fight nearly ten times as many people as them. Every battle would break the upper limit of difficulty. "We are already exhausted if we can maintain our formation in this battle without collapsing. If it weren't for His Highness and the Blood Demon who is good at fighting in groups, our casualties would have doubled again." The number of kills in the whole battle was firmly in the first place than that of the Blood Demon. His spells could easily cut off those rusty hammers into pieces like wheat. Next is he had a banshee to assist him in the past, Worm prefers close combat, so his kill count is still slightly lower than that of Bloodfiend, who only deals AOE damage. "What did Garson say?"
Ines was referring to the accomplice Therese arranged for them, the leader of another Sakaz mercenary group. The other party carried more mercenaries and supplies than they did, but they took a different route due to preparations. "They will arrive at the scheduled location earlier than us. It is expected to be three days away." "trouble." "Yes, trouble." On one side was Therese's order, and on the other was the team of the little , who had experienced the link, felt uncomfortable asking him to do something that violated his "loyalty". "Fortunately, His Highness does not conflict with our purpose." This is one of the few good news. shadow "Why is there such a shadow?" Ines has seen countless people and shadows since she became a mercenary. The shadow is the profile of a person, from which the essence of the person can be can lie, but shadows cannot. No matter what kind of person he is, there will always be weaknesses and secrets in his shadow that he himself doesn't know about, even babies are no exception. But this time, Ines hit a wall. She met that...child again in Rhode , she was carried back by the other party and saved her life by relying on him. She and Dabuliu were lucky enough to be saved by that highness before they other party entrusted the child who came from behind to take her and W back to the ship. The succubus accompanying the child wanted to help, but was asked to do other things. But at that time, she was frightened by spying on the shadow of the commander of the Tower of Babel, and did not observe the shadows of other people. This incident also taught her a lesson: don't try to spy on the shadows of those you can't afford to offend, because they can really kill you. Of course, she knew this lesson a long time ago, but this time because the status of the people she met increased, the upper limit of people she could not afford to offend also increased. Ines saw the child again at dusk after they woke didn't know what to do after the meeting with those "monsters". Dabuliu ran away and went crazy. The other people in the team were placed in different places on the ship. Ines also took the opportunity to walk around the ship in order to observe and record the internal structure of the ship. After walking through several corridors and turning several corners, she met him in the corridor with the window. The child was standing at the window looking didn't wear the white mask, and he didn't have any weapons on him. His small stature didn't look threatening. The dusk light shone through the window into the corridor, and his shadow extended, finally stopping at Ines' feet. Ines was able to catch a glimpse of him. But she didn't see anything... No, no, she clearly remembered that she "saw" an extremely strong but extraordinarily pure emotion at that time, but compared with the clearer body, that emotion brought about The feeling is not surprising. It is convenient to peek into other people's shadows to obtain information, but it is also vulnerable to counterattacks from the other party.
Ines's behavior attracted the other person's attention, and she was able to see his face clearly. A very childish face, lined with a layer of sunset hair that swayed slightly with his movements, and the light pink eyes reflected the ignorance of a child. Ines couldn't remember how long it had been since she had seen such a look that truly belonged to a long career as a mercenary made her wary of any creature that approached rashly around her, and Kazdel had no children to speak if the other party is only six or seven years old, he may have one or two lives in his hands. but…… Why does he have such a look in his eyes?
