messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 8 Learning to care about others is very important

"In the 3rd year of the previous era, the Queen of the Empire declared war with the Kingdom of Plainn, and the trumpet sounded, announcing the beginning of a new world.

The queen herself led legions across plains and towns, and no one could stand against her.

The imperial banner flew, and shaded the skies of Prann.The sun no longer favors the people of the plains, and fate chooses to stand on the right side.

At the end of the same year, the legions of the empire had come under the royal city of Praen.

Outside the royal city of Plainn.

In the legion camp of Reinhardt Kingdom.

The Chocobo of the Bird Dragon Knight was tied to a stake beside the bonfire, chewing grass in its mouth, and rubbing its sharp nails on the ground from time to time.

The knights sat around the campfire, chatting and laughing while eating dinner.

The rock rhinoceros transporting the supplies flicked its tail to drive away the flying insects around it, and there were still several huge boxes on its body that had not been dismantled.

The transport soldier, who had been tired all day, sat in the supply box beside him, not wanting to move, with a piece of bread in his mouth.

The night crows used for scouting stopped on the branches of the trees, erecting the feathers on their wings with their beaks.

And the archers on the sentry tower finally had time to sit in the corner, taking a nap with their bows and arrows in their arms.

Evening dinner time.

The atmosphere in the barracks was rare to relax, both humans and animals were resting on their own.

In three months, only three months have passed since the queen declared the war began, the Reinhard Kingdom's legion has completely defeated the Plainn Kingdom's army, all the way from the border to the royal city.

I still remember that when the queen first proposed to go to war, many ministers dissuaded her.

But now, such a result has completely exceeded everyone's imagination.

Neither the main fighters nor the conservatives in the kingdom thought that their Lionheart Queen, in addition to her powerful political means, was also far superior to ordinary people in terms of sergeants.

Now, everyone is just predicting how long Plann's royal city can last.

In the center of the legion camp is an independent camp built on a hill.

On the hill, Hillman was wearing a long skirt and cape, standing under the evening sky.

She wore the golden-red royal sword on her waist and a crown on her head, looking at the plain in the distance and the city in the plain, King Plainn.

She was immersed in it, as if she was looking at the most beautiful scenery.Of course, capturing Plann is only her first step, what she wants to do is unify the whole continent.

The wind rolled up the cloak behind her, and in the evening sky, the sun that was about to set and the moon that had just risen hung high at the same time.The brilliance of both dyed the sky with a complex color, and it was impossible to distinguish the boundary between day and night.

While Hillman was in a daze, a person came up from the bottom of the hill, it was a black knight like a shadow.

"Your Majesty." When Chu walked to Hillman, he said in a low voice.

"It's very windy here, please take care of yourself."

Chu's words made Hillman turn her head, and she looked Chu up and down with a strange look.

This made Chu have some doubts and asked.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Oh." Hillman smiled relievedly, curling the corners of his mouth, "I just didn't think that a person like you would say something about caring for others."

Chu's body stood there stiffly, not knowing what to say.

"Hehe." Seeing Chu Moran's appearance, Hillman covered his mouth lightly and laughed.

After laughing, she turned her head again, looking at the royal city in the distance, with a glint in her eyes.

"Tomorrow, we will officially besiege the royal city of Plann, and there may be a time when you need to take action."

In the battle of the royal city, the saint of Prann will definitely make a move. Although he doesn't want to admit it, that saint is an extremely troublesome existence.

Under the helmet, Chu's gaze was fixed, his hand clenched the knight sword at his waist, and he replied in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Since the three months since Hillman dispatched troops, Chu has never entered the battlefield, and has always only stayed by Hillman's side.

Although Hillman said that he wanted to keep her as his trump card, it still inevitably made him feel a bit useless at first.

As an apostle, she can't be used by the summoner, and just enjoys comfort blindly, which is an extremely shameful thing for her.

In tomorrow's war, she will prove her ability to Hillman.

······
The sky is endless, there are no clouds in the sky today, only a round of dazzling sun stays high in the sky, the sun in winter is sometimes more dazzling than that in midsummer.

"Ugh——"

A dull horn sounded on one side of the sky, accompanied by a cloud of smoke rising.

On the walls of King Plainn, soldiers with spears, bows and arrows stood in formation, watching the smoke and dust coming from a distance, their hands tightly holding their weapons, this might be the last battle for them to defend their homeland .

The smoke and dust are getting closer, mixed with deafening sounds.

Until the dust was run over by the wheels of the chariot, the bird dragon came out of the dust with the knights in armor on their backs. An army formation composed of shields and sharp swords was lined up, and the banner painted with a roaring lion rolled up against the sun.

The powerful legion of the Kingdom of Reinhardt appeared in the eyes of the Plainn people.

Hillman was sitting on the king's carriage in the middle of the marching army. The golden-red carriage pulled by snow-white horses was very conspicuous. This was a very dangerous behavior on the battlefield, but Hillman didn't care.

This is her arrogance and her confidence in her legion. No one can break through the legion and come to her.

What's more, Chu was also sitting in the carriage, beside her.

Outside the king's carriage, Roland, the head of the Imperial Swordsmen, was riding on the back of a war horse. Looking across his eyes, through the small window of the carriage, he saw the knight in black armor sitting in the carriage, wrinkled. frown.

The two are both kingdom knights, but she has never seen this knight make a move in the past three months. So far, no one knows the real strength of this knight.

Since he is protecting the Queen's safety by her side, I hope he is not a useless guy.

Roland thought, looked back at the legion in front of her, and put aside other thoughts, she now had to concentrate on facing this war.

Reinhardt's legion marched mightily towards the royal city of Plainn.

At this time, on the royal city of Plainn, an old man stood on the highest point of the city wall.

His hair was pale, and his face was old and out of shape, but his body stood up straight, wearing a silver-gray mage robe, and holding a dark brown staff in his hand.

The wind on the city wall was strong, blowing the clothes and beard of the old man. The old man squinted his eyes and looked deeply at the army formation of the Reinhardt Kingdom.

Lionheart Queen, you will pay a terrible price for what you have done.
