The male protagonist is blackening: Raiders, please be careful

Chapter 110 The Empire and the Rose (26)
Subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but the unknown man led Bai Feifei out of the darkness──
There is only Xiutis alone, he is fully armed, holding a spear majesticly──
sky!Why is it that he--
Bai Feifei felt that his calf was twitching uncontrollably──
Everyone knows that Shutis is Shar's confidant!

It seems that this time it is really doomed──
but……

"You go."

Xiutis glanced at the two of them, but unexpectedly said this sentence.

——————————————————————————————————

At dawn, there was no cock crowing in Taidemuer.

The Assyrians built a hill of captive heads and burned them.

Shar stared at the raging flames with a gloomy expression.

He stayed up all night...but he didn't find Bai Feifei after searching the whole city.

Even the body... was never found.

He even regretted shooting that arrow a bit──
Bai Feifei... where did he go──
"Your Highness..."

Shutis was calling to his master.

Shar came back to his senses, and suddenly found that his loyal servant was staring at him with a strange look.

Frowning in displeasure, Shutis has never been so disrespectful as now──
But not the time to think about it.

The army has been stuck in Tadmur for a whole day and night, and now the soldiers are in the front line, and Damascus is close at hand-it is time to start.

"Burn—"

With a deep voice, the man gave a cruel order.Shutis, who was waiting for him to give orders, immediately waved his arms, signaling to the subordinate officers to light the fire──
Dry firewood, cloth, and felled trees... There are also human corpses piled up together, they are the best "fuel"──
I believe that it won't be long before the whole city will be full of smog -- then it will be submerged in gravel... forgotten by history...

This is all in the thought of Tiglath Palashar──
But-
"Wait a moment!"

The Assyrian soldiers who were about to light the fire stopped their movements when they heard the voice, and looked at their prince suspiciously──
"never mind."

The man spat out two words that should not belong to him at all──
Even he himself didn't know why he said such a thing.

Xiutis opened his mouth wide in astonishment, his always wise and decisive prince who was regarded as a god is actually hesitating? !

Shar ignored the strange eyes, waved his long arm, and pointed to the west──
"To Damascus—"

Immediately, cheers flooded the entire Taidmuer.

Of course, before they left, they would not forget to sprinkle salt and thorn seeds on the fertile soil—that was the imprint of Assyria on this place.

The Assyrians set off with heavy carts and looted booty.

The man was still riding a horse, walking at the forefront of the team.

He pulled the horse's head and gave a salute to the city he had conquered──
"Free?"

He murmured something that no one seemed to understand.

But Shutis knew what his master was thinking.

——————————————————————————————————

"Who are you? Why did you save me?"

Bai Feifei turned his head and asked.

He is being hugged from behind, sitting on the back of a camel, and following a caravan across the Syrian desert.

The frightening scene from last night is still vivid in front of my eyes, and I can't help but feel terrified when I think about it, but at this moment, I am bathed in the sunlight that can almost burn the skin, but I am moved for no reason──
It feels so nostalgic... like being redeemed...

There was a low laugh above his head, and the one who made the sound was the man who led Bai Feifei away from the tiger's den.

Blinking his eyes, Bai Feifei found it really unimaginable...

There are such people in this era──
After being accidentally released by Xiutes, the man has been leading Bai Feifei into the barren desert. Without knowing where his strength and courage came from, Bai Feifei has been running with this stranger... lest the Assyrians chase him , so even the sand and stones stuck in the flesh did not stop for a moment──When he could no longer lift his feet, the man actually carried himself on his back for a while...until the passing caravan passed by──
saved.

Celebrating his successful escape in his heart, he became curious about this strange man──
He has a face that doesn't belong to the Arabs, but looks a bit like a Cretan—deep outline, gray eyes, thin lips... Elegant and dignified, he should be quite a handsome man...

But his stubble... makes him look a little scruffy.

"What do you say?"

The man smiled brilliantly, as if there was nothing worth worrying about in the world, a completely different smile from Tiglath Palashar's... that kind of smile is gentle and sunny...

Why am I comparing him to that guy?
Bai Feifei frowned.

　When I was writing, I suddenly thought of a poem: Life is precious, but love is more expensive.For the sake of freedom, both can be thrown away.
