Lars opened his eyes, just like when he lived in Stone Ancient City, he had no dreams and it was daytime when he woke up.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, his brain finally starting to work.
"Iggy, Iggy!"
"Hey, keep your voice down, there are other wounded here."
At this moment, a woman's voice came. Lars looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman wearing a white headscarf and white clothes walking over. She was a doctor, or a health care provider.
They were all beds, with the wounded lying on them.
what happened?
Lars was a little confused.
"How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere in your body?"
The woman sat beside Lars' bed, she held Lars' forehead and asked.
"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, by the way! Where is my friend? Where is he?"
Lars asked quickly.
The other party showed a troubled expression and said: "I don't know your friend. It was the General who brought you back. If you have any questions, you can ask him. If you don't feel any discomfort, you can leave."
Hearing this, Lars was stunned for a moment, then quickly got out of bed, ran out wearing a pair of shoes a few sizes too big.
There were many wounded here. He took a glance and saw that there was no sign of Iqi, they were all Imperial soldiers.
Opening the door, there was a road outside, with many houses around. Soldiers were walking on the street. Many people were arrested. Some people were crying. He heard crying. However, at this time, Lars only felt strange. What was this?
place?
He was a little at a loss. He had never been to this place before. He looked around and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, he bumped into someone.
"Hey! Don't look at Lu Boy with the back of your head."
"sorry."
Lars felt a little bad, he felt helpless.
At this moment, a voice reached Lars's ears from the chaotic human voices.
"Lars! Lars!"
He turned his head, but he didn't see the person calling him, which made him feel a little stupid.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his shoulder, which startled him.
"Lars, thank God, why did you escape? You are still a sick boy, so don't run around."
Looking back, I found that it was the uncle from the logistics team. The calluses on his hands were still thick.
"Uncle!"
After seeing the other party, Lars's expression became calmer and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, where is this place?"
"Barrow City is the city that General Bronn attacked. Hehe, those Eagle Regiment bandits never thought that we would sneak behind and disguise ourselves as their volunteer army. You know, when they opened the door to let us in,
Still cheering. Haha, I still remember their shocked eyes and expressions when they saw us going on a killing spree. Forget it, you'll catch a cold if you wear so little, so go back and put on your clothes."
He pushed Lars, who couldn't get a word in when he was talking, then put his arm on Lars' shoulders and the two of them walked along the street together, although they didn't know where they were going.
"Uncle, uncle! Where is my friend? Have you seen a man named Iqi?"
Hearing this, the uncle was stunned for a moment, he frowned and said: "Calm down, I don't know that much, but I heard that the garrison did not retreat as planned, which led to the army's rout and many people died. I am very happy
Did you know that you were able to escape, kid? More than 10,000 people died, but you survived, you are very lucky."
Hearing this, Lars's face turned livid.
"Who saved me and where is it?"
"It's the General. You seem to have found you halfway when you escaped. Hey! Where are you going?"
While the uncle was speaking, Lars suddenly ran out.
"I'm going to find the General."
"He's not over there, over here, in that steeple!"
The uncle shouted to Lars, and the young man replied with a thank you, and then walked towards the center of the city.
"Hey, this kid is bouncing around and seems to be fine."
He shrugged and continued walking along the street, lost in the sea of people.
…
There were several people sitting in the room, all of whom were high-ranking officials in the army. General Bronn was also there, and the Demon King was sitting in the main position.
"Since General Bronn is so insistent, we will continue to divide our troops into two groups and reorganize for two days. Once the logistics troops arrive, we will immediately march into the heart of the north."
"yes!"
"General, a young man named Russ wants to see you."
Just as the meeting was about to end, a soldier walked in.
"Everyone, today's meeting ends here."
After saying that, everyone stood up and left the room. Only General Bronn sat at the end. After everyone left, he sighed.
"Thanks."
After whispering two words, he put on his hat, stood up, and left the room.
The Demon King looked at his leaving figure and smiled faintly. Then he looked at the soldier and said, "Let him come in."
"yes!"
…
The young man came in with excitement. It seemed that he had been waiting outside for a long time.
"General! Have you seen my friend? He is about the same height as me, but thinner than me. His hair is a little curly."
He asked excitedly, with a little fear and uneasiness in his eyes.
The Demon King sighed softly and glanced at the soldier guarding the door. The latter immediately nodded and left the room, closing the door.
"I'm sorry to tell you that when I arrived, you were the only one alive, and there were many corpses around you."
Hearing this, Lars was stunned. He didn't know what to say, and his heart skipped a beat.
Then, sadness came over him like a tide and turned into tears, which he couldn't stop flowing down.
"Those corpses will turn into evil spirits the next day, so we can only burn them all."
The devil added.
The boy was crying silently. He gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound. He recalled what happened at that time, the tragic battle, the fleeing soldiers, the blood-stained snow, and the terrifying blond girl.
It was her! It was she who killed Ichi! It was she who turned Ichi into a monster.
"The blonde woman..."
"Um?"
"Lord Demon King, there is a scary blond woman. She turns people into monsters and controls them. She wants me to poison you."
"Blonde woman? I'll be wary of that, thanks for the advice Lars."
The Demon King said thoughtfully.
Lars wiped his tears. He suddenly remembered what Iqi said to him. Those words were imprinted in his mind and he could not get rid of them.
Why would the Demon King help him like this? Is there any benefit to it? He is just an ordinary person who has nothing, and the other party will not get any benefit from him.
His tears stopped for a moment, and his expression gradually turned into confusion. The devil noticed this change.
"Just ask."
"ah?"
"I know you want to ask me some questions, just ask them."
Hearing this, Lars swallowed, took a deep breath, and asked with a trembling cry: "Master Demon King, why are you so nice to me?"
