The Little Devil of Sakaz

A very beautiful... child.

Yes, considering that he is nearly 60 years old, the boy in front of him is just a child, no older than the oldest child in their team.

Such a child has become the leader of a mercenary team... His emotions are quite complicated.

"Do we have any extra food?"

"There is some meat left over from the banquet. There is plenty of sugar. Canned food and compressed dry food are enough for us to eat for ten days, which can ensure that the team's combat effectiveness will not be reduced."

Ines is an old intelligence officer in the team and is used to sorting out this information. What she records may be more detailed and clear than a serious quartermaster.

"Give them some of the meat. Get some candy... and give it to those kids."

Worm remembered that every time he used to have a physical examination, Shining would always give him some candy.He asked why, and Shining's answer was: "Good children should eat more sweet candies."

These kids must be good kids if they can follow the team all the way here.

Worm didn't know, but he wanted to give these children some sweets to eat. For the Sakaz children in Kazdare, sugar was a coveted luxury item.

Worm did not return to the camp. He sat outside and watched the civilians from a distance.

They are very optimistic about life, and most of them don't have much sadness on their faces. The children are very lively, and it seems that there is indeed a sense of security in the camp. They play there after eating.

Such a life...

Worm wondered if this was the life Sakaz was seeking.

"Beautiful big brother, can you throw the ball over for us?!"

A ball made of vines rolled in front of Worm, and a brave little girl not far away called to him.

Worm picked up the ball and tossed it to her gently.

"Thank you, big brother!"

The little girl caught the ball, waved to him happily, and then returned to the team of her friends.

'What a lovely child. '

Theresia has been watching beside Worm, and even she couldn't help but feel happy when she met this group of optimistic Sakaz.

It is a good thing to have Sakaz alive like this.

"Your Highness."

Ines appeared behind Worm. She came out of the shadows, which made it very convenient to travel through the camp.

"Ines?"

"Their leader has something to tell you."

When Worm saw the leader of the Sakaz team again, his face showed an old look, and the high-spirited look outside the camp just now was much duller. It seemed that only here could he reveal the heavy pressure after the glory.

After meeting Worm, he began to introduce himself when Ines told him that he could start.

"He said his name was Hayden, and he was a resident of a small town on the border of Leitania. The town was unable to move due to engine problems and was destroyed by natural disasters. They Sakaz... left the townspeople because of the ore disease The fleeing team.”

Ines paused for a moment before continuing to translate the other person's words.

Yes, these Sakaz are all infected, including those children.

23.w: I have been harmed by the little devil in this life.

"As you can see, my lord. We can't go any further."

They had exhausted all their resources just by walking through this wilderness. They could not catch large animals to supplement their meat. There was no sugar and salt, and fresh water had to be distributed tightly.

They try their best to make the children believe they can find a new home, but the lie is soon exposed through the dwindling candy wrappers.

"I beg you, my lord. Can you take us with you... We can do anything. Even if you need us to fight and kill..."

They would rather forget their previous life, become mercenaries, and work hard.

"..."

Ines relayed his words to Worm, and she did not say much about whether this "coercion" was reasonable.

Replenishing the supply of soldiers is very common in the Sakaz mercenary team. Sometimes, it is not just ordinary young people who come in, but also children and old people who cannot survive.

"Okay. We don't have enough manpower. You need to help us set up a camp while we collect resources. After the battle, you have to clean up the battlefield."

With the participation of these civilians, other Sakaz mercenaries do not have to do everything by themselves, and can have more time to rest to ensure that they have sufficient physical strength to deal with crises that may arise at any time.

"Thank you, my lord!"

After hearing the other party's conditions, Hayden agreed without hesitation.He was originally prepared to send everyone except his children to the battlefield to kill and even serve as cannon fodder, but now he only had to do logistics. He was grateful and lucky to have met such a kind team.

"Do you have any extra tents, Ines?"

"There are also 23 five-person tents, Your Highness."

"Give them six, and after they are stationed tomorrow, we will send someone to teach them how to set up a camp."

"Yes."

While Hayden went to break the news that his group was about to join the camp, Ines asked Worm if she wanted to monitor their actions.

"I'll leave it to you, Ines."

Worm did not refuse Ines's proposal to ensure the safety of the camp. She wanted to ensure that these people would not embezzle the camp's supplies and would not affect other Sakaz or even the operation of the camp.

Although Worm allowed the other party to join because of those children, he would not show mercy if the other party did something that harmed the team.

Compassion does not control soldiers, and this principle is even more effective when applied to Sarkaz. Even Theresia will impose severe punishments to maintain order.In the scavenger army, the military discipline is so strict that it is terrifying.

"Worm...where did he go?"

By the time Worm returned to the camp, Dabuliu had already sobered up and was filling the bottle with water because he was thirsty.

When she was drunk before, she only vaguely felt Worm leaving, but at that time her head was dizzy and she didn't have any extra reason to think about it.

"A group of civilians joined the camp."

Worm briefly described to her what had just happened.

"Oh……"

After listening to Worm's arrangement, Dabuliu felt that these civilians were really lucky to meet her little devil.If you encounter her, just let them rush to the front line during the battle. Where is the chance to hide behind them and then come out and stroll around the battlefield after the battle.

"They're really lucky."

Dabuliu doesn't want to care about so much now. Just like Ines said before, she is now Worm's coachman, and all she wants to care about is matters related to Worm.

For example, it's almost midnight, and it will be bad if Worm doesn't sleep.

'Wah W...'

You little devil, what do you want me to do?

Theresa thought to herself, and once again she curled her fingers and flicked the little devil's forehead.

She said she was good, she blamed Worm for drinking, she said she was bad, she was also very concerned about Worm's rest condition and urged him to sleep.

No one knew what Theresa did but herself. When Darbuli came back from the night, he was thinking about how to stay close to Worm like before.

But it might be a bit abrupt to suddenly lean in, so she found a topic.

"Worm, are you asleep? I can't sleep."

"No. Is there something wrong?"

Worm opened his eyes and looked at the little devil approaching, waiting for her to continue speaking.

"I never thought of asking before, what's going on with that halo guy named Gunqi?"

Just standing up and scaring Hedley and the Blood Demon like that?

"The Rutland Gun Cavalry, also called the Pope Knight. It is an important armed force of Sakota."

But seeing the confused look on the little devil's face, Worm thought about it and changed it into an explanation that she could understand.

"A Gunslinger, an M3. Rutland has a lot of them."

Mon3th is Kelsey's pet. W has seen that dark and shiny monster, and it left such a deep impression on her when they first met that she avoided Kelsey for a while.

"Now I understand."

That little monster was able to single-play Hedley's original team, and now that the new Halo guy has come out, he can still single-play them.

"Then if the fight continues, will Worm be sure to kill him?"

Dabuliu lay on his side, holding up his face and looking into Worm's eyes, showing curiosity like a fighting animal.

"It's not difficult to kill him. But I can't guarantee your safety. He carries a powerful gun. If he decides to fight to the death, he will shoot those ammunition at you first. I want to make sure you survive first."

"Oh, so it is."

W's fingertips rubbed Worm's clothes and moved slowly, then gently stroked his ear.

"?"

"My hair is messed up."

Dabuliu talked nonsense without changing his expression.

If your hair is messy, you only need to fiddle with it a few times, but the little devil can't stop his hands.The soft, slightly cool fingertips rubbed around the ears, then wiped the boy's cheek and slid down. Finally, the entire palm covered his face and rubbed it gently.

"W?"

Worm raised his hand in confusion to stop W's movement, but the raised hand was grasped by the little devil's other hand, blocking his movement instead.

"Let me touch you a little longer, Worm. Please~."

W always thinks that she has been harmed by the little devil her whole life and cannot deal with the serious Sakaz.

When I was eating potatoes with Ines, I always thought about it, if only she were Worm, and could eat all the stewed potatoes she made in one go; when I was collecting guns and bombs, I always thought about it, what if she were Wumu? It would be great if you knew how to use Worm's knife, and you could form a partner with Worm to kill indiscriminately; when he sat next to Worm and tricked him into drinking, he said that the beer was delicious and wanted a few more bottles, and Dabuliu's heart was beating fast. , always thinking, what if Worm suddenly got drunk and fell into her arms while drinking?What if half-drunk and half-awake people sleep next to each other in a tent?Then Worm was still very energetic after drinking, but she was so drunk that Worm still wanted to watch. Now that she touched his face, Worm didn't even care. Can she go further?

"W, it's time to go to bed."

"Okay!"

After throwing away her coat, the little devil came back from her thoughts. Looking at Worm's gentle pink eyes, she was silent for a while and said, "I'm a little hot."

24. Dabuliu’s little trick

At dawn, the Sakaz in Worm's team gradually woke up from the afterglow of last night's banquet, and received notifications that a group of Sakaz civilians had joined the camp.

"Since it is His Highness's arrangement, I have no objection."

Hedley handed over the new route plan to Worm, and they would follow the new route to leave the wilderness of the Kongshang District and reach the border of Ursus.

"This route is easier, but we may encounter wilderness wandering groups like Rusty Hammer. There are many of them, and it will be a tough fight if we run into them."

But Sakaz is not afraid of fighting. Their team cannot deal with the gun cavalry, but it is enough to deal with a group of wilderness savages.And with Worm here, beating those guys is like playing Fruit Ninja.

"Then follow this route."

After Worm finished speaking, he looked at Hedley doubtfully, who was about to speak.

He had encountered such looks more than once today. They seemed to have something to say but didn't know why they didn't say it.

This reminded Worm of how when talking to Kelsey, the other party would always say some strange lynx words, which were far less concise and clear than the doctor's requirements.

"Hedley, what did you want to say just now?"

Worm stopped Hedley who was about to leave. He wanted to ask what happened to them.

"Uh, Your Highness...your place..."

Hedley hesitated for a moment, then pointed to his right cheek to prompt Worm.

"my face?"

Worm tilted his head. He didn't have a mirror, so even if he knew there was something on his face, he couldn't see it.

'Huh, bad W, trick Worm. '

Worm didn't know, but Theresia could clearly see the slightest red mark on her child's face.She wiped it there for a while.

Do not you know?

Hedley's face remained calm, but he was already complaining in his heart.

That guy W is so courageous. He dares to smack his lips just because he has a good relationship with His Highness Worm.Just smacking your lips, even if there are traces left behind, Worm won’t be reminded to wipe them off.
