The Witcher: Son of the Planes

Barrick had not expected Colin's departure. At this time, he was not aware that Brother Colin had left. He only knew that the recruit camp was very chaotic. It was not until the early morning that order was restored.

After counting, 22 captains died, 35 squadrons died, plus the previous death toll reached 40, and more than 100 squadrons died. It can be said that the loss was heavy, and the organizational system of the recruit camp was seriously damaged.

This month's vacation has been cancelled. Due to the lack of leadership, some squadrons were temporarily appointed as deputy captains, and squad leaders were appointed as deputy squadron leaders to lead more orc recruits to maintain daily training, waiting for the next step to supplement and improve before restoring the original system.

Although Barrick had been in the recruit camp for a short time, he was temporarily appointed as the deputy squadron leader because of his outstanding strength. He was able to manage two squads. It was originally a happy thing, but after returning home in the second month, he found that Brother Colin was missing. He asked his sister Jenny, but it turned out that his sister didn't know about this person at all, and had no memory of Brother Colin.

Barrick also deliberately asked the neighbors around him in a roundabout way, but to no avail. It seemed that there had never been such a person as Brother Colin. Barrick couldn't figure out what was wrong with everyone? Could it be that his memory was wrong, and there had never been any Brother Colin, was it just a dream?

Gradually, Barrick also accepted the reality of this dream, as if he had indeed had a dream, and this dream was so real that he also became the deputy squadron leader, but he had to believe that it was a dream, because only Brother Colin was in his memory, and no one else had it.

If it went on like this, Barrick would slowly forget Brother Colin from his mind and throw him into the corner where he least thought of him, but the sudden review awakened his memory again.

Barrick was taken to the City Lord's Mansion and met the only two second-level officers of Steel Mane City. At first, he didn't know what was going on until Commander Wolf also mentioned Colin.

As a half-orc, his childhood education experience made him understand that orcs, half-orcs and humans and elves in the south are different and hostile. Brother Colin, who has lived in his house for eight or nine months, is most likely a human wizard, and all the previous things are to destroy Steel Mane City and kill orc officers and generals.

Barrick didn't believe it, but the words of the two officers made him believe it. He also doubted that his sister didn't have the memory of Brother Colin. The officer told him responsibly that there is also the spell of forgetfulness that can do this.

Barrick was a little collapsed, feeling that Brother Colin was really scheming. Was everything in the past eight or nine months fake?

Since Barrick was not subjectively collaborating with the enemy, and there was a shortage of people at the moment, the two officers did not kill Barrick, but gave him a month of confinement as a punishment, so that he could figure out for himself what is a tribe member and what is the truth that those who are not of my tribe must have different hearts.

...

Colin had expected Barrick's follow-up screening, but he did not give the other siblings a chance. When Jenny did not agree, the matter had already come to an end, and he would not take Barrick away alone. As for meeting on the battlefield in the future, if conditions permit, he would spare their lives. If there is no chance, he can do nothing.

On the way back, all places were on alert, and I believe that the companions had completed their tasks well.

Colin has always been cautious. Every time he rests at night, Colin has to set up a warning array in advance at a far distance to leave a way out for himself.

It should be said that Colin's caution is still very useful. When the warning array was touched, Colin woke up instantly, cast a spell to hide himself freely, and erased the traces at the scene. Only then did the other party come to the vicinity where Colin had just stayed, and left after the investigation failed.

After understanding that the other party's investigation was further strengthened, Colin was no longer careless. He traveled day and night and returned to Ethel Forest one-third faster than when he came.

After returning to the base, Colin immediately found Commander Stanley and reported his achievements in the past year. Stanley recorded Colin's achievements and waited for the unified reward after returning to the wizard world.

As for the performance issue, no wizards or knights have concealed the report. The will of the wizard world plane is above, and no one will or dares to conceal it.

Colin got a week's vacation. According to Commander Stanley, new reinforcements will arrive at the Agri plane, and the full-scale counterattack will start soon.

Colin, who returned to his residence, also met Wizard Toby. The two chatted casually for a few words. Both of them had tasks on their shoulders. No one asked about the completion of their respective tasks. It was enough to know that the other party could return safely and that there was no problem in strength.

Charlotte was well-informed. After all, in the Ethel Forest, many trees and small animals were friends of the elves. When Colin reported to Stanley, she learned about Colin's return.

Not long after Colin returned to his residence, Charlotte came to him.

"Brother Colin, you're back." Although Charlotte is older than Colin, according to the age conversion between humans and elves, Charlotte is still an underage girl, while Colin is already an old man in his twilight years, so it's not too much to call him brother.

"Well, I just came back. How about you, have you been doing well in the past year or so?" Colin responded for no apparent reason.

"That's it, I've been like this for decades. By the way, tell me about your mission."

"As for the mission, I can't go into detail, anyway, it's about going deep into the orc city and killing a lot of orcs."

"Humph, it's so boring. I asked you to take me out, but you didn't. I didn't even have the chance to do such an interesting thing."

"Well, there will be a chance in the future. We will launch a full-scale counterattack soon. Are you still worried about not having a chance?"

"Even if we launch a full-scale counterattack, I may not have the chance to go to the battlefield by then. My mother is watching over me very closely."

Thinking of Charlotte's identity, the next generation of elf queen, a winner in life, how can she be like myself, who has to work hard to earn merit and exchange for some so-called resources for the future life.

"Don't you feel happy? You can practice with peace of mind, away from the hustle and bustle, away from the war. Unlike me, I was just a slave at first, and it took decades of struggle to get to where I am now."

"Happiness? It's considered happiness, but it's not what I want. Hey, the last time I went on a mission to the human kingdom was a rare opportunity for me to go out. I was like a prison bird, tightly trapped in this forest. You can't go anywhere in the city," Charlotte said lonely.

Seeing Charlotte's unhappy look, Colin also felt that the little girl was indeed a little sad. Although there was no shortage of resources in all aspects, this freedom was restricted. In the previous life, there was a famous saying "Give me freedom or give me death." Colin can also understand her feelings, but as a friend, Colin's right to speak is limited and he really can't help her much.

"If there is a chance, I will take you out for a walk." In the end, Colin did not calm down and said these words that would change the relationship between the two in the future.
