She held on to the tree and slowly stood up.
Seeing her suddenly stand up, Shirin quickly put down her untied shirt and stood up too.
"I...I can't escape, I have to know what is going on..."
In the past, Eve felt that she knew enough. She even thought that as long as she kept forbearing and contributed to the country, she would deal with the dirty work.
One day my father will admit him.
My own wishful thinking may have started since I was a child.
Lake...Lake, did you always know...that's why you often sigh at me...
Eve's steps were a little pretentious. What happened in the past few days had really hit her too hard, and now, there was an idea that might subvert her three views.
Human beings may not be as beautiful as she imagined...
"I, I have to go back..."
She turned around and walked in the direction she came from.
Shireen also quickly followed behind her. She didn't understand what Eve meant by what she just said, but she could vaguely sense that this human being was of noble birth.
Now I am going through some kind of unbearable suffering.
But the two wandered in the forest for a long time, but they still couldn't find the way back.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Shireen started to get a little anxious. With a branch like mine in her hand, she looked around with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, Shireen, I will protect you."
Although Eve said so, if you really get lost in this forest, something will happen sooner or later.
Misfortunes never come singly. At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the bushes.
"Ugh!"
Shireen immediately fell to the ground in fright.
Eve faced the trees with the sword in one hand, and protected Shireen behind her with the other hand.
Originally, Eve was still looking forward to whether He Wen and the others would come to find her.
But after seeing a pair of blood-red eyes peeking out from behind the bushes, she gave up her fantasy.
But what made her even more desperate was that there were more than one pair of red eyes, and then more appeared.
There are ten in total.
And these are not wild wolves or wild beasts.
It's a monster with dark purple scales all over its body.
"Monster!?"
Eve was shocked, she didn't expect to see monsters here.
The so-called monsters are evil creatures created by the demon clan specifically for fighting.
They have no emotions, are cruel and tireless, and will not stop fighting once they have set their sights on prey.
After the demons were defeated and retreated to the desolate land, these war beasts were not taken away, but were released into this world.
Their ability to reproduce is extremely strong and they can be found all over the world within a few years.
The monster that appears now is called the Amethyst Wolf, and it is not a particularly advanced monster.
If it were normal Eve, with her skills as a fifth-level swordsman, it would not be a problem to deal with five of them.
But now her chest was injured and her strength was greatly reduced, and she had to step away to protect Shirin behind her.
She knew that what she was going to face next would be a tough battle.
"Ouch——"
The first amethyst wolf launched an attack, and Eve cut it into two pieces with a sharp sword force, followed by the second and third wolf.
Eve continued to use sword skills, and the first few amethyst wolves were successfully killed by her, but the monsters behind them knew that the humans in front of them were not weaklings.
So they began to make circuitous moves, attacking from various blind spots, and one even tried to attack the elf girl behind Eve.
Eve turned around suddenly, her long sword shining a little light, and the monster that tried to sneak attack Shirin was directly pierced through the throat by this sword.
But at this time, Eve also had many wounds on her body. She could already feel the pain in her wounds. If she continued to beat her, her wounds might burst.
But there are still four amethyst wolves.
These four amethyst wolves were extremely smart and would never attack rashly. Instead, they learned to feint attacks to consume Eve's physical strength.
"You, go away, no, don't care about me!"
Shireen cried and shouted to Eve.
Eve seemed not to hear it, and always protected Shirin behind her.
Those monsters seemed to have noticed that once they attacked the elves, the human knight would become even more desperate.
So they changed their tactics again and began to approach Shirin while launching a feint attack.
In this way, Eve had to expend more energy to protect the girl.
Finally, she knelt on one knee, relying on the sword inserted into the ground to prevent her from falling.
She clutched her chest, and there was a hint of blood seeping out from the breach in her breastplate.
These monsters also knew that it was time to enjoy the victory, and they pounced on Eve from three directions at the same time.
Eve gritted her teeth and held the hilt of the sword hard. Even if she died, she would definitely die with these beasts.
Just at this moment.
A javelin made of stone flew from a distance with unmistakable accuracy and hit one of the amethyst wolves in the head.
The pebble-sized gun head directly made a dent in the monster's head.
The other amethyst wolf was smashed in the head by a stone stick from Hal who jumped from the tree.
As for the last amethyst wolf that had rushed in front of Eve, Eve suddenly raised her hand and choked it.
Then Eve used all her strength to push him to the ground, holding the hilt of the sword in her hand, and pressed down the long sword that was still half-embedded in the ground.
Click——
The blade cut off the monster's head, and blood splashed all over her face.
Hal carried a stone spear and walked slowly to Eve, who was breathing heavily. He smiled and said.
"You're quite capable of fighting, human."
"..."
Eve slowly raised her head and stared at Hal.
"Hmph, it's okay. I only saved you because you are Lady Shalia's guest. You don't have to..."
"Thanks."
Hal was stunned, and she looked at Eve suspiciously.
At this time, the girl had slowly stood up with her sword in hand. She retracted her sword and looked at Hal seriously.
"Thank you."
"Thank...thank you."
Shireen also followed Eve's example and thanked Hal.
"Tch, I still like your unruly look just now."
Hal looked away.
"But that doesn't change my opinion of orcs."
Eve said again.
"After all...I still can't convince myself that in my heart, you are just a group of ungrateful beasts who killed the humans who liberated you."
"..."
This time it was Hal's turn to be silent.
Then her face slowly turned cold.
"Hey, human, come with me somewhere."
"What? Why should I go with you."
"Because I saved you, don't you humans say you repay your kindness? Now I don't need you to repay me, I just need you to go somewhere with me."
Eve looked at Hal suspiciously, but the other party didn't wait for her to answer. He directly put the spear on his shoulder and turned around to walk somewhere.
"Either you follow, or you continue to get lost here. I'm warning you, there are a lot of monsters in this forest."
"Woo!"
Shireen was obviously frightened, and she clutched Eve's hand tightly.
"Don't be afraid...let's follow her."
Eve comforted Shireen and then followed Hal, but she did not dare to let down her guard for a moment. She held Shireen with one hand and kept pressing the other hand on the hilt of the sword.
