TOV25
As night fell, bonfires lit up in the bend of the rushing river.
After a fierce battle, humans finally won the final victory.
This was a tragic victory.
Most of the soldiers of the original team of more than 1,000 people were injured.
However, after this battle.
The momentum of this group of miscellaneous soldiers has undergone a qualitative change, as if after the blood baptism, there are signs of a transition to a regular army.
There is a strong smell of blood in the camp because there was no time to clean up the various mutilated corpses.
However, the rest of the living people didn't care, they were enjoying the rare hot food while bragging about their heroic performance during the day.
Thrall did not participate in the enthusiastic conversation of his companions, but picked up a bunch of grilled herrings and walked towards the tent in the middle of the camp.
His left foot seemed to be injured, and he was limping during the walk.
However, in this camp, such a small injury is no longer a problem.
Outside the tent, a knight was guarding with a bandage on his upper body.
Thrall knew that this was a knight of the Angele family, who seemed to be called Raymond.
The knight leaned on his sword, half-downed his head, and closed his eyes as if repenting and praying.
Thrall passed by him, and he didn't react in any way, like a sculpture.
"Ms. Vera, would you like something to eat?"
"No need."
Vera didn't turn her head back, but she softly refused.
Thrall quietly raised his head, but only saw Vera's back and her long white hair.
"You have to take care of your body, you have to eat something..."
Thrall was still persuading, but Vera was still unresponsive, just blankly staring at the man in front of her who seemed to be asleep.
That man is naturally Colin.
However, right now Colin wasn't pretending to be dead to win sympathy.
But he really fell asleep.
After all, the previous injury was too serious and the blood loss was too much. Of course, maybe he was stimulated by the last scene that was inappropriate for children...
In short, Colin fell completely into a deep sleep.
If it weren't for him to breathe, I'm afraid everyone would think he was dead.
With such a terrible injury, no one thought that Colin could survive.
In fact, in the eyes of everyone, it is a miracle that he can persist until now.
Only Vera was unwilling to give up, she still helped Colin bandage his wounds and took care of him every step of the way.
It seemed that Colin's lips were a little chapped, Vera quickly dipped some water with a scarf and gently wiped it on Colin's mouth.
Seeing this scene, Thrall was full of jealousy, and he even wished that Vera was taking care of him in bed now.
"Miss Vera, let me take care of knight Colin. Go and rest."
"No." Vera once again rejected Thrall's kindness and waved at the same time to signal the mercenary to leave.
Thrall had to bury his disappointment deep in his heart and withdrew from the tent.
"Meow~"
Xiao Bai didn't know where he got out, and moved to Colin's side, gently licking his cheek, as if he wanted to wake up his "human slave".
Vera put down her scarf and stared at Colin's bloodless face for a long time.
Afterwards, she clasped her hands together in front of her chest, actually making a prayer posture.
"Omnipotent Lord of Radiance, please have mercy on this brave and fearless knight!"
This is Vera's first prayer in her life.
Perhaps this is also the first mage to pray to the Lord of Radiance.
"If I can be fortunate enough to witness your grace and kindness, then, throughout my life, I will always serve you!"
The female mage who is pursuing arcane truth, at this moment is willing to offer her faith to the gods for a man!
I don’t know if the Lord of Radiance has heard the prayer of this mage?
Would he like to accept such a heresy conversion?
There is no beam of light falling from the sky.
There are no angels that suddenly appear.
Colin didn't miraculously wake up.
As if nothing happened...
Only the knight Bliss, who had just walked outside the tent, stopped suddenly, and he seemed to realize that he might have heard something that shouldn't be heard.
After a long time, when there was no more sound from the tent, Bliss took another step and walked in.
The knight is now also severely wounded.
His entire right arm was severed, and his body was covered with bandages, with blood still oozing on it.
However, he still had that calm and indifferent expression, as if he didn't care about his injury.
"Miss, the casualty statistics have been initially completed. In this battle, we lost 428 soldiers and more than 350 people were seriously injured. The rest are basically minor injuries..."
Vera had no idea about such casualty statistics, and just quietly listened.
However, for a veteran of the battlefield like knight Bliss, this battle is definitely a miracle.
You must know that such a ratio of battle damage, even in the most elite regular army, is enough to cause the army to collapse.
However, these miscellaneous soldiers from Mirror Lake Camp tenaciously fought to the end and won.
Maybe there is Vera's credit here, after all, her identity has enough appealing power.
But Bliss was very clear that there was more to it, and Colin's last stand strategy was at work.
Thinking of this, he glanced at Colin on the bed with admiration and regret, and continued to ask:
"Miss, what shall we do next?"
Upon hearing this question, Vera was a little at a loss: "What about your opinion?"
"There were two wolf cavalry units that chased us to the running river. Although we have just defeated one unit, we are not completely out of danger.
Because although the other wolf cavalry was confused by our arrangement, they had already crossed the river north, and they would soon find out that something is wrong and turn back.
However, the big victory we just won will definitely make the other party hesitate, can't figure out our specific strength, and dare not chase us easily anymore.
Therefore, my opinion is to continue to guard at the river bend, and then send a messenger to the nearby city to request reinforcements.
As long as our reinforcements arrive before the trolls gather more chasers, we will be safe. "
Vera was silent.
She heard the uncertainty in the words of knight Bliss, but could not come up with a better idea.
At this time, she naturally turned her gaze to the sleeping Colin.
If he can wake up, there must be a better way...
"Okay, just do as you said."
"Yes!"
Out of the tent, Bliss walked with his head down.
He was considering which directions to send envoys for help, and how could they not be intercepted by the chasing troops of trolls halfway...
"DaDaDa..."
A sound of horse hooves interrupted Bliss's thoughts. He raised his head and saw two cavalrymen riding towards the camp.
He quickly recognized that one of them was the cavalryman he had sent out to guard the surrounding area, but he did not know the other.
However, he recognized the armor on the opponent!
This kind of pure black standard armor, in the entire Glorious Empire only one cavalry has this army equipment--
Black Cavalry!
Bliss was ecstatic in his heart, and couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction of Vera's tent, and a thought flashed in his mind:
Did the Lord of Radiance really answer the lady's prayer?
