After setting off a blazing fire that reached the sky, and saving those innocent women and girls who were captured and fucked by the beast ghosts until they were somewhat deformed, the omnipotent Queen Anne was immersed in the novelty. The green-haired witch Shirji, who was inextricable from her magic skills and spells, and Gus, who was almost burned to death, embarked on their journey to an old place again.
Halfway through, the three of them discovered many bodies lying on the roadside.
However, surprisingly, the three of them also found a pair of dying refugees lying on the roadside. They were an old woman who was on the verge of death and a swaddled baby girl who also had little life left in her arms. When the three of them passed by, they I almost didn't even have the breath to breathe.
Gus, who has experienced war since he was a child, is used to seeing life and death, and for some reasons, his heart has become as hard as stone. Although Gus also discovered it, he didn't intend to take care of it at all. He simply turned a blind eye and took a big stride. I walked over without even intending to take a second look.
"!!"
However, the witch Shirji, who went out for the first time and saw such a miserable scene, would certainly not do what he did. She was shocked when she noticed the abnormality, and then hurriedly stopped and came over to take a closer look. .
"please wait!"
"Gus!"
"Come and take a look!"
Then, when she discovered that the two people who fell on the ground were not completely dead, and found that there was still a chance to save them, she immediately shouted loudly to Gus, who had walked more than ten steps in front of her.
"Sister Shirji, did you find something good?"
-
==()
Without waiting for Gus to respond, Annie, who thought it was some fun or rare thing, just jumped off the shoulders of her little bear and jumped over quickly to join in the fun.
"Huh?"
(.)
"It turns out they are two dead people! It seems they are really alive!"
(^～^;)
"But it seems that death is not far away."
()
Seeing that it was not a fun thing, Anne curled her lips and climbed back onto the shoulders of the little bear who was walking over. Then she patted the little bear Tibbers on the head and asked him to take two steps back, and then moved towards the one in front of him. Uncle Gus shouted to stop and turned around, but looked at the idiot Uncle Gus who didn't intend to come over.

(●￣￣●)
"..."
Gus made no more moves, nor did he look at Anne. He just stared at Shirji, then looked at the old woman who was being helped by the other party to lie down and the child in her arms, and then slightly He frowned and said:
"Are you going to save them?"
"But you saw it along the way."
"In this world now, there are many people like this, and we can't save them!"
"besides!"
"Next we are going to cross the sphere of influence of those damn 'Eagles' and 'Kushyas'. Of course it's no problem that you and I have the ability to protect ourselves, but..."
"I'm afraid I don't have the energy to protect them. You may also know how powerful the apostle under the 'Eagle' is!"
"We have been rushing here in the past few days. You are not unaware of the conditions along the way. In addition to wild beasts, demons, undead and various monsters, there are only wild dogs and jackals that eat people and become red-eyed. And the crows, if they are rescued but ignored, they will not survive for three days!"
"It's useless to save them. Just don't care. It will only make them suffer more."
Maybe it was because he saw the persistence on Shirji's face, plus the fact that the other party helped him use magic to cover up the brand breath on the back of his neck almost every two days in the past few days so that he would not be exposed to the endless demons at night. And the intrusion of evil spirits, so Gus thought about it and had to patiently persuade him a few more words.
That was Shirji. If it had been anyone else, I'm afraid he would have ignored her and walked away without even looking back.
"wrong!"
"No one will suffer more after being saved!"
"That's just an excuse for your indifference!"
Unfortunately, Shirji didn't listen at all. Instead, he just shouted back with his lips pursed.
"If you are worried, I will protect them along the way and won't let them get hurt!"
"I'm sure I can do it!"
"I only need your holy light now, and then my magic will restore them as quickly as possible!"
"Ibarela's phosphorus powder is only useful for trauma, please!"
Then, Shirji quickly slowed down his tone and pleaded like this.
"But……"
"We have more important things to do."
Thinking of the fire a few days ago, Gus did not doubt Shirji's ability to protect people. However, he still hesitated and stood unmoved more than ten steps away, making no move to come over. the meaning of.
Of course he has no objection to rescuing people, but it would be a violation if after rescuing people it would drag down his schedule and cause trouble for the rest of the journey, and then he would be distracted from protecting people, and even some changes might occur. His original intention, especially now that he has a strong purpose and must achieve it.
"Nothing is more important than saving people!"
"Gus!"
"I know what you have experienced, and I know what you want to do most, but now, look at it, are the sufferings these people have experienced less than what you have experienced?"
"If you are not even willing to save them, why do you think that by going to the city you mentioned, you will be able to ask others to answer your call and save yourself?"
Seeing that Gus still looked so selfish and withdrawn, Shirji became angry on the spot, so he pointed directly at the corpse lying on the ground around him, which had been eaten by the crows, and questioned him angrily. road.
Now, although the crows were frightened by their arrival and flew to the dead tree nearby, they had no intention of leaving. They were still looking at them and her greedily with their red eyes on the branches. The pair of dying people below seemed to be waiting for the next big meal?
"..."
"you're right!"
"I can save them, but you'd better have that determination!"
After staring into Shirji's eyes for a while, Gus seemed to be convinced in the end, so he strode back again, walked to the old woman and the baby girl, knelt down and took a look, and then He held out his hand and began to summon the Light.
Soon, the faces of the two refugees who were on the verge of death gradually turned rosy under the treatment of Gus's holy light. Although they still did not wake up and were still very weak, at least they were not as pitiful as they seemed at first. And he looked like he was going to die at any time.
"Alas!"
!(;o)o
"I thought she was an old woman just now!"
(^▽^)
"It turns out to be an aunt!"
く(^_)ゝ
Seeing the face of the 'old woman' holding the child turning rosy, Anne was startled for a moment, and then she laughed sheepishly.
"She's hungry, and she's not too old."
"Stop talking!"
"They need to eat first!"
With that said, Shirji stopped delaying.
She first took out a kettle from her waist, filled it with the nutritional supplement that was filled in the morning, which was said to be the milk spring that Anne brought from the gourmet world, and gave it to the baby carefully first. After feeding him several mouthfuls, he reached out and carefully took him out of the arms of the poor mother who was still unconscious.
"Tibbers!"
"You are warmer, please give me a hug first."
Then, without Anne's consent, she stuffed the baby girl into a certain bear's arms without any explanation.
(????)
(**;)
(Master, can the little one eat her?)
(°°〃)
(Unexpectedly, someone would take the initiative to put food into his paws, so Tibbers turned his head decisively and asked his troubled little master in his heart.)
"Wow!"
(ω)
"It looks pretty cute like this!"
(゜▽＾*)
Unfortunately, Annie didn't pay attention to a certain bear. She just sat on its shoulder, lowered her head and teased the little one whose face turned better after taking a few mouthfuls of milk.
(…)
(￢￢.)
"Gus!"
"Let's find a place to rest for the night!"
"I'll use a transfiguration magic to get a carriage out tomorrow, and then continue on my way?"
Soon, after pouring the remaining half of the jug of milk into the woman's mouth and seeing that the other woman's breathing was gradually becoming more even, but she still had no intention of waking up, Shirji could only stand up again and suggested this.
"rest?"
“But it’s only noon!!”
Under normal circumstances, Gus does not rest at noon. He always travels from early morning to early evening, and then he will find a place to eat, rest and be mentally prepared for the night.
But it was good now. He had just been minding his own business when trouble came. He didn't know how much time he would be delayed in traveling.
"you……"
"Can't you just conjure up the carriage now?"
Then, seeing Shirji's still stubborn expression, Gus had no choice but to persuade him in a retreating manner.
"That's definitely not possible!"
(ψ｀▽′)o
At this time, before Miss Shirji could speak, Annie answered first.
"??"
"why?"
Gus was confused and didn't know what the two witches were doing.
"because……"
(ω)
"She hasn't learned it yet!"
Hahaha(*)
First she glanced at Shirji, who had a slightly rosy face, and then Annie laughed heartlessly.
"..."
Shirji didn't refute, but just stared at Gus stubbornly, obviously acquiescing.
"That……"
"Do you know that kind of magic?"
"Since you can, why don't you just change into a car first?"
After a pause and asking Annie again, Gus suddenly suggested this again.
"don't want!"
o(^｀)o
"They don't want to help, so you have to solve it yourself!"
(′～`●)
Anne didn't want to take action easily. After all, she was just following him out of boredom so that she could check the progress of certain things at any time.
And then...
The other party's attitude was so bad, why should she help?
"you……"
"All right!"
"Let's go to the small river in front. I saw it. There seems to be a broken mill?"
"Do you need me to help you take her with you?"
Gus, who knew he had nothing to do with a bad little girl, was a little angry, but he didn't bother her too much. He just quickly looked at Shirji and asked if he wanted his help to thin the little girl down to just skin and bones. The woman was carried away.
"Need not!"
"Wingardim Leviosa!!"
This kind of trivial matter didn't bother Shirji. She was seen waving the small wand that Anne gave her, and then she learned how to use it. She only made a small gesture, and the woman was really swaying. levitated.
"!?"
"this……"
"Then let's go!"
He looked at Shirji with some surprise, and then at the woman who could 'fly' while suspended in mid-air. Gus opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just waved his hand, beckoning the other party to follow him towards the direction. He walked towards the place he had just identified that seemed suitable for camping and resting.
In this way, the three people, one bear, and the two mother and daughter who were rescued halfway settled down in the dilapidated mill by the river not far away.
Then……
It was not until dark at night, when the woman finally woke up, that Annie, Gus and Shirji finally learned some important news from each other.
It turns out that the other party is not from nearby, but escaped from Wyndham, the capital of the Kingdom of Mitland?
There were originally more than a dozen people who successfully escaped with their mother and daughter, but some of them got separated halfway. They met another group of guys who were not sure whether they were mercenaries or robbers. Her companions and husband were all killed. They were the eaten corpses in the place where she was unconscious, and she also passed out directly after being hit with a stick.
Of course, the above is not important to Gus. He has seen it a lot. After all, he knows better than anyone what kind of guys the mercenaries during the Hundred Years War were. Most of the time, they even fought with Robbers and robbers all belong to the same family, and bullying the weak is commonplace, and even the early Eagle Group is said to be no exception.
Therefore, what he paid more attention to was what the woman said next...
That is to say, the fact that Wyndham City, the royal capital of Mitlan, has now turned into a dead city, a terrifying demonic city inhabited by monsters and littered with corpses, like a ghost world!
In the city that was originally the largest, most prosperous and most populous city in Mitlan, after it was captured by the Kusha people, all the prosperity of the past disappeared. Instead, it became a place outside the city, up and down, except for corpses and corpses. Or is it just corpses and ghosts?
According to the woman, in the originally magnificent and beautiful royal city, all the towers, all the squares, all the churches, roads and the spiers of various buildings, everywhere that could be seen were Tens of thousands of corpses and heads were hung or hanged!
Those Kusha people did not allow people to bury them, and just allowed them to rot and emit a horrible stench, turning the originally good city into a paradise for crows, rats and carrion vultures, but those evil ones The pagans are also indifferent?
What's even more frightening is that all the men in the royal capital who dare to resist will be killed and become part of the "spectacle" in the city; while those who dare not resist will be directly killed. He was reduced to a war slave, and then armed by the Kusha people and escorted to the next territory and served as cannon fodder for storming fortresses and various lords' military formations.
As for young women, it's even worse...
All the women who were captured were taken somewhere in the city. Except for some who served as slaves and military prostitutes, most of them were said to have been taken captive by the Kusha people to perform some kind of ritual.
Those women have never been seen again, and their ultimate fate is unknown.
But anyway, since then, the capital of Mitlan has been gradually covered by heavy fog, and then a large number of monsters and ghosts have been summoned. The remaining old, weak, sick and disabled citizens are forced to hide in their homes to survive, or They were hiding in Tibet with the small number of underground rebels.
But it was useless. No matter whether they were hiding at home or in hiding, in that city, under the double intrusion of the Kusha people and those terrifying monsters, people could not see any hope at all except waiting to die. .
So, one day about half a month ago, the woman who was rescued, her husband and a group of people who were not willing to wait for death decisively escaped with the help of a small group of rebels and suffered heavy casualties. More than a dozen people.
Undoubtedly, those dozen of them were very lucky at that time.
But no idea...
At this time, the people outside were no better than the devils in the capital. The last remaining few of them were still attacked, and if her mother and her husband hadn't met Gus and Shirji, they would have been alone. Are you afraid that it has become a delicious meal for crows or wild dogs now?
"!!"
"I didn't expect that the situation in the capital of Mitlan would be so tragic!"
"I always thought..."
"The Kuxia people just occupied the city of Hununu, but they didn't expect..."
After listening to the story of the woman wrapped in a blanket and sitting by the bonfire with her child in her arms, Gus couldn't help but be surprised to hear that the royal city had become like that. After sighing, Gus lowered his head and looked at the bonfire in silence. I don't know what I'm thinking about.
"No……"
"Something isn't quite right."
However, the green-haired witch Shirji heard some different information.
"With so many women to sacrifice, and so many corpses to decorate the whole city, I think those Kusha people must be trying to summon some terrible existence!"
"Those monsters and monsters are just summoned minions at best."
"As for the heavy fog covering the royal city..."
"It's probably not the fog, but that the royal city has really been dragged into the Netherworld, or has a certain area of the Netherworld been summoned to reality?"
At this point, Shirji suddenly stopped talking and looked at Gus.
"Gus..."
"If those things are really done by the person you want to deal with, I'm afraid your situation will be really difficult in the future."
"And if it's just the Kusha people, then you may have one more enemy to deal with."
"That's not a good thing."
Shirji was worthy of being the protégé of the witch Flora, so from a few words of that woman, she analyzed a lot of things and even hinted at some situations to Gus.
However, because the woman's words seemed to reveal that the people in the city were worshiping and waiting for the 'Eagle' to be redeemed, she always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Very likely……
Those Kusha people are really just as Gus guessed, they are all planned and promoted by the 'Eagle' of 'light' and 'dark' who plays dual roles. In that case, things will The truth is terrible.
Of course, given that the ignorant woman holding the child had just mentioned the name of 'Eagle' several times at this moment and her words were full of admiration and expectation, she did not dare to say too much here.
"..."
Gus first looked up at Shirji, then looked at the woman coaxing the child. In the end, he didn't say anything more, but slowly lowered his head and continued to stare at the bonfire with his one eye.
"..."
(￣～￣)Chew!
Anne, who was eating and had also heard everything, had no intention of talking or commenting.
Because she doesn't mind how complicated things are at all!
She only needs to see the results she wants to see. As for the eagle, the Kusha people, or the hands of gods and feet of demons, they have nothing to do with her!
