With sufficient supplies, the cavalry units in each lord's army eagerly left the coalition camp that night and headed towards their respective target towns.
Many lord armies came to the Ganbu plane this time, and they only brought cavalry regiments.
Without infantry, these lords' army was like a herd of wild horses, quickly disappearing into the dark prairie night.
Originally, there were commanders who wanted to lend the two-headed ogre to Surdak. They knew that this ogre usually had a lot of autonomy, and the reward he needed was just some delicacies, not magic crystals. They agreed with the commanders.
psychological expectations.
According to past experience, as long as Gulitem is persuaded, Surdak will usually not refuse. Unfortunately, the ogre actually went out to perform a mission for the first time...
Several commanders failed and had no choice but to give up.
…
Surdak's heavy armored infantry regiment is not so urgent. He plans to set off with the heavy armored infantry regiment tomorrow morning. The two accompanying military merchant groups will also march eastward with Surdak's large army.
Samira returned to the camp with Gulitem very late. What was unexpected was that the two of them brought back a group of survivors from the town of Lys.
Surdak heard the noise in the camp and quickly crawled out of his sleeping bag.
Siya was soaking in a large bathtub next to her. She was sleeping in a terrible state. Her body was almost completely inserted into the bathtub. Instead, she had a three-color fish tail hanging on the edge of the bathtub. Although she turned into a mermaid, she also
Very slender, but a three-color fish tail is over two meters long and cannot fit into a bathtub as big as it is without curling up.
Surdak patted her fish tail, which was cold and icy and had dry scales, and asked her to change her position and go back to sleep.
Thea emerged from the bathtub in a daze, thinking that Surdak was calling her in the middle of the night... Miss Mermaid raised her head, stretched out her hands sleepily and hung them on Suldak's neck, with a blushing face.
Just put your head on his chest.
"I mean your tail is exposed. If you don't want the scales to fall off, just change your position and sleep again. I'll go outside and take a look!"
Suldak patted Thea's pretty wet face and whispered.
Siya came to her senses at this time, holding the bathtub with both hands and biting her soft lips. Looking at the back of Suldak leaving in a hurry, she covered her face with her hands and sank into the bathtub. Then she retracted the three-color fishtail into the bathtub.
In the barrel...
Surdak was only wearing a linen shirt and bloomers, and the front of his shirt was soaked by Siya's hair.
When they walked out of the tent, they saw Samira and Gulitem standing in the camp, followed by a group of refugees in ragged clothes. The orderlies in the military camp were holding a large pile of baked wheat cakes and trotted over, and there were people behind them.
Carrying a soup bucket.
Gulitem stepped forward and grabbed a piece of toasted wheat cake, tore it into two pieces, and ate the two heads at the same time.
While eating, he complained to Surdak:
"Dak, Samira told me that there are grouse in the north of the mountain, and she wants to take me hunting! But when we rushed there, except for a two-headed evil power, we couldn't find even a mouse..."
Surdak stood next to Gulitem and quickly smoothed things over for Samira, saying: "All the livestock on the grassland have been killed by hell dogs. It is normal that there is no prey in the mountains. I originally let you two go there.
, just to kill that two-headed hell dog.”
"Where did you find these survivors?" Surdak turned to Samira and asked.
Samira handed the refugees to the nearby orderlies for resettlement, letting them rest where they were first, and giving each of them something to eat and drink.
Then he said to Suldak: "Over the mountains to the north, they are hiding in a cave."
Surdak took a closer look and found that the residents of these small towns looked good. Although they looked a little dirty, they did not seem to be hungry.
I thought there were outstanding hunters among them, but no one among them wore leather armor or carried a hunting bow...
Surdak felt a little strange.
"Boss, come here." Samira said to Suldak.
Surdak followed her to a wooden cage in an empty area of the camp. Surdak seemed to smell the smell of rotten apples. He followed Samira's fingers and looked at the wooden cage.
, there is actually a demon servant in the cage.
Although this demon servant was wrapped in a shabby and dirty blanket, Surdak could still clearly see his rotten face. The almost demonic face had black and red stripes, which may be the result of the demonized body.
Exclusive, his whole body was severely rotten, but relying on the resilience brought about by living in symbiosis with the hell dogs, the inside of his body was constantly healing these festering sores.
Even his breathing made a gurgling sound, as if his lungs were filled with water.
Surdak asked with confusion: "Why did you bring him to the camp?"
Usually when I encounter these demon servants, they are executed on the spot. They don't have anything valuable on them.
Samira felt helpless and whispered: "I don't want to either...but those people said that it is this demon servant and a two-headed hell dog that have been feeding them these days..."
Before Samira finished speaking, she saw an eight or nine-year-old boy among the refugees running to the wooden cage holding a piece of scone, trying hard to reach inside with his little hand, and stuffed the scone into the demon servant.
into his hand, and said in a childish voice: "Dad, you eat!"
Gu Wen
"..."
Surdak finally understood Samira's dilemma.
"The hell dog escaped, but we caught this demon servant." Samira lowered her head, not daring to look at Surdak, but said in a hoarse voice: "I heard from the refugees that it was this man
The demon servant rescued them from the small town of Rees and kept them hiding in the cave in North Ridge. The hell dog usually hunts prey in the mountains for them..."
Surdak looked at the boy sleeping next to the wooden cage and knew in his heart that this child must have softened Samira's heart.
The child seemed very tired, holding a small piece of wheat cake in his hand, and fell asleep leaning against the wooden cage.
The demon servant was in a good mood and even tasted the wheat cake. He just carefully broke off the dirty part and put the clean part back into the boy's arms.
Surdak opened the wooden cage and asked the demon servant to come out.
The demon servant bent down and got out of it. He staggered a little and dragged one leg as he walked, but he said nothing.
The refugees in the small town not far away thought that the devil's servants were going to the execution ground, so they all wanted to squeeze over.
In fact, the soldiers in the military camp usually execute demon servants on the spot when they see them, and they are not even qualified to go to the execution ground.
A group of refugees was stopped by several soldiers. A woman tried to push away the soldier with a spear, but was pushed back by the soldier and sat down on the ground.
The demon servant glanced at it with some reluctance.
Only then did Surdak see his eyes clearly. One eye was blood red, but the other eye was clear blue.
"When will I die?" His voice was a little vague.
Surdak sat on the wooden box and asked him: "Do you have any other requests before you die?"
The demon servant raised his head, as if listening, and then said: "I know it is nearby. If you kill me, it will not survive. Can you bury me with it? I will use these to buy its body."
"
As he spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, carefully placed it in front of Suldak's feet, and opened the mouth of the bag, revealing the yellow gold coins inside.
Seeing Surdak frowning, the demon servant immediately said: "I guarantee that it has never killed anyone, and the money is all clean..."
Suldak said calmly: "Compared with these, I want to know what happened!"
The demon servant sat on the ground, pointed at the small town of Reese that was shrouded in darkness not far away, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I live in Rees, and I often go to Aker Town to buy horses. Two months ago, I went to Aker Town to buy horses, and countless hell demons attacked the town. Many people were arrested by them like me.
But they didn't kill us directly. They fed us a kind of purple magic grass, and when our bodies changed, they made us sign a magic contract with those hell dogs, and then I turned into this."
"After I signed a symbiosis contract with it, it happened to activate its primary intelligence and could communicate with me. We didn't want to kill, so we escaped from the army."
"Before the demon army comes, let's escape back to Reese Town."
"I warned the people in the town that the demon army was about to attack, and wanted them to escape quickly, but they didn't believe it. They arrested me and nailed me to a cross, preparing to burn me to death the next day. It was my family and some neighbors who took care of me.
I secretly rescued them, and then I took them and fled to the mountains to the north."
"When the demon army came, they hid in the cave. Every day they went out hunting with me, and they live like this until now."
Surdak didn't expect that he was actually a hell dog and demon servant who defected from the demon clan. However, he may be an outlier among the demon servants because he was not completely demonized and lost. Although his body was demonized, his mind was still normal.
.
From the expressions of the refugees trying to rush over, it can be seen that what he said must be true.
However, thinking that he had signed a symbiosis contract with a hell dog as the main body, Surdak couldn't help but ask:
"What do you understand by the symbiosis contract?"
The demon servant didn't expect that Surdak would ask these questions, and he didn't even know how to answer.
"No matter what, whether it was forced or experienced so much humiliation and suffering, when I sign a symbiosis contract with it, we are one, and it is my closest partner. I can understand
What it is saying can also be felt by its emotions, even if it is a hell dog." The demon servant said calmly.
He paused and continued:
"I originally thought that hell dogs are cruel by nature. In fact, they are not all like that. It's just that in their eyes, humans are no different from prey."
Surdak couldn't help his curiosity and continued to ask: "So, it is a unique hell dog?"
The demon servant shook his head silently and said: "It just opened the primary wisdom and recognized me."
