On the deserted path, the red sun radiates light and heat under the sky, illuminating the surrounding world.
In a place with lush vegetation, a subtle sound gradually came from the front.
Click!
The long team advanced forward, and the wheels of the carriage collided with the stones on the roadside from time to time, making a collision sound and causing the carriage to vibrate from time to time.
The groom driving in front was a middle-aged man with calloused hands. After discovering that the carriage was shaken by stones, he carefully looked behind the carriage, as if he was afraid of waking up the people behind him.
Behind the carriage, a boy was lying quietly on the golden hay. There were several open wounds on his body. Although they had been simply treated, there was still blood flowing out from them, staining the soft hay under him.
red.
It seemed that the cracked wound on the boy's body was affected by the vibration of the carriage, causing the boy's originally calm face to suddenly become ferocious, as if he was in extremely intense pain.
"What's wrong?"
From behind came the low roar of horses and the deep voice of a big man.
A knight escorting the team saw the carriage stop and rode up to question the coachman.
"Sir, the axle of the carriage seems to be broken and it will take some time to repair."
The groom looked embarrassed, looked at the knight in front of him, and said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the knight frowned: "It's really troublesome."
It was just noon at this time. The knight looked up at the sky, feeling the scorching temperature and the faint sounds of tired breathing coming from the surroundings. Finally, he ordered the team to stop temporarily and rest in a cool area.
, dine at the same time.
After the order was issued, the surrounding soldiers showed excited expressions, and some couldn't wait to find a place to rest for a while.
However, even though they were impatient, their vigilance never dropped. After stopping, they specially sent a few knights to explore the surroundings to eliminate some dangers and traps around them.
But after the previous collision of the carriage, the people on the carriage had begun to wake up.
Stimulated by the pain in his body, Chen Ming gradually opened his eyes.
Tired! Painful! Uncomfortable!
After his will regained consciousness, the physical pain and fatigue were clearly conveyed to Chen Ming's mind, causing him to suddenly regain his consciousness and take a breath of cold air.
"Where am I?"
Feeling the fatigue and pain on his body, as well as the burning sensation conveyed from various wounds, Chen Ming had this doubt in his heart, and then a large number of memories began to pour into his mind, completely covering his thoughts at this time.
This is the life memory of a thirteen-year-old boy named Adil.
In memory, Adil was born in an ordinary baron family, and was the only heir to a territorial baron. Because he had shown good knight talent since he was a child, he was sent to Adil two or three years ago.
He was trained in the castle of Count Boria, a member of Diir's father's clan.
In this area, Count Boria is the absolute ruler. As a member of Count Boria's family, Adier's father will naturally move closer to the count, so he sent Adir to him very early.
Dier, the successor, was sent to the other party's castle, not only to receive better training and education, but also to show his loyalty.
Some time ago, the scattered orc tribes in the north suddenly went south to invade the territory of the Kingdom of Ariea. As the leader of the northern lords, Lord Boria sent an army to resist the orc invasion together with the surrounding lords. Thirteen-year-old Adil followed the army
We went on an expedition together, but ended up rushing too far forward in the battle and were attacked and wounded by several orc warriors. At the end of the battle, Chen Ming took over his body.
When the memory reached this point, the fatigue that came from time to time in his mind gradually subsided, and was replaced by a sense of coolness that emerged after the heat, which made the tortured Chen Ming wake up.
"Sure enough, I traveled through time again."
Feeling the memories emerging in his mind, as well as the severe pain constantly coming from the wounds on his body, Chen Ming reluctantly raised his arm and touched his face.
There was something condensed on his face. Adil wiped it hard and found that it was all dried and coagulated blood, going down from his right ear to his chin, making him very uncomfortable.
Not only on his face, but also on his chest, left arm, and right thigh, there were several large wounds, exuding severe pain. The blood was almost all over the body, and it was not cleaned in any way.
This discovery shocked him. He instinctively wanted to stand up, but found that he had no strength at all. He could only use his still intact right hand to hold the edge of the carriage and reluctantly sit up on the carriage.
"Damn it...what's wrong with this world? Even thirteen-year-old children have to go to the battlefield to fight against orcs who don't look like they can be fought by ordinary people."
Holding on to the edge of the carriage, Chen Ming barely raised half of his body, feeling the crazy pain and fatigue coming from his body, and thought feebly.
In the memory in my mind, there is still a scene of the original owner of this body fighting those orcs, which seems very profound because it happened not long ago.
In my memory, although those orcs did not have intact steel armor and their faces were as ferocious as beasts, they were all muscular and generally two meters tall. They looked like a terrifying deterrent.
In fact, the fighting prowess of these orcs is indeed worthy of their stature and appearance. Even without training, their far superior strength and physique, wearing only rough leather armor, can rival fully armored warriors, unless they are so few in number.
, simply cannot be matched by ordinary armies.
However, even such a terrifying orc is not invincible in Adir's memory.
Adil's horrific wound was caused by the siege of several orcs, but before that, he had killed at least several orcs, and finally he was surrounded by a bunch of orc warriors because he rushed too far forward.
.
The root of all this is that this world has the top power of knights.
"Knight Breathing Technique..."
After carefully recalling the memories in his mind, a unique training method emerged in Chen Ming's mind, making him whisper.
"Lord Adier, are you awake?" A voice suddenly came from the front, with a sense of surprise, breaking Chen Ming's thoughts.
It was a middle-aged man wearing shining armor, with a long beard and long hair tied up directly. He looked greasy and hadn't taken care of it for a long time. At this time, he looked at Chen Ming's body sitting up, a little...
shouted in surprise.
He seemed to be the leader of the team. Looking at Chen Ming's pale face and slightly cracked wound, he quickly directed several other people to go over, carefully lifted Chen Ming up, and then helped him walk down.
The people here are either warriors or horsemen, and naturally they are not delicate and gentle people. They are all rough and rough, causing the wounds on Chen Ming's body to suddenly be affected.
"hiss···"
Feeling the sharp throbbing pain in his body, Chen Ming took a sharp breath, and his consciousness, which had been sluggish due to exhaustion and excessive blood loss, suddenly woke up again.
He reluctantly raised his head, stood up with the help of others, and looked around.
There were several carriages around, and they were all parked quietly under the shade of a tree to avoid direct sunlight.
Behind these carriages, corpse-like figures were lying quietly on them, each with a large amount of blood on them, motionless at all, and looked very scary.
Among these figures, Chen Ming also recognized a few people from Adier's memory. They were either noble children like him or some young trainee knights. Although they were not important, they were important.
He is not an ordinary person.
Seeing this situation, Chen Ming had a vague realization in his heart.
The mission of this team is probably to transport people like him, who are not too low-status and were seriously injured on the battlefield, back.
Chen Ming also observed that except for his own carriage, most of the carriages around him contained several wounded people.
This is also good news, at least it shows from the side that his status among this group of people should be considered one of the top ones.
"Adier, from now on, I will be called by this name."
As the Romans do, Chen Ming read the name twice in his mind and then made his decision.
In front, several soldiers took some dry food from the carriage and handed it directly to Adil after simply cutting it.
The dry food was hard and unpalatable, and tasted like rotten meat. Because it had been placed on the carriage transporting the wounded, it was still stained with the blood of the seriously injured, which made Adil's face look a little ugly.
Opposite Adil, he seemed to see Adil's troubled expression. The previous team leader explained to Artis: "It's still a war, so it's not suitable to light a fire. It will be better after this journey."
Adil grabbed the dry food in his hand with his uninjured right hand and didn't say anything more, just nodded in understanding.
The wild environment in this world is too dangerous. Not only are there all kinds of dangerous beasts, but there are also all kinds of thieves and robbers wreaking havoc in the wild. Not to mention that it is still during a war, and there may be scattered orc troops wandering around in the wild. They may rashly light fires.
, the thick smoke formed is likely to attract these dangers, causing unnecessary danger to the team.
After thinking about this, in order to recover from his injuries and physical strength quickly, Adil suppressed the nausea in his heart and ate the piece of dry food stained with dried blood in his hand.
On the spot, the team rested quietly for a while under the shade of the trees. After the sun outside seemed a little smaller, following the order from the leader with bunded hair, Adil once again sat down with difficulty.
The carriage, which was full of peculiar smell, watched the scenery on the road continue to spread backwards along with the bumps along the way.
