The Little Devil of Sakaz

"W."

Worm did not deal with the corpses immediately. He had to rescue the wounded.When everyone regains their ability to move, everyone will work together to...send the souls of the dead to the earth.

"..."

The devil's blood fell into the basin and merged with the blood demon. His body began to boil and change. After about [-] cc, the blood demon barely recovered a little bit and could continue to move in the form of a bat.

"Your Highness...please put me to death...living on my last breath scares me."

The Scavenger's limbs were mangled and broken, and he wanted to kill himself.What were once tall trees are now only broken stumps.

"Stay alive, Norton."

Worm gave him the blessing spell, and the incomplete flesh and blood grew, turning into twisted limbs due to the lack of bone support.Perhaps his limbs can be replaced with other things in the future, allowing him to continue living like a normal person.

"...Yes, Your Majesty."

For scavengers, the orders of their superiors are above all else.Worm ordered him to live, and he had to live.

"..."

Everyone who was still alive gathered in the center of the rebuilt camp.

The bodies of the dead compatriots were placed on the firewood that was originally used to prepare food.

"We lost 57 of our compatriots..."

Worm called out the names of the dead one by one, and then lit the firewood.The bright fire brought the last warmth to the dead, and the living sang Sakaz's Requiem for the dead.

Some cry, some grieve.

But we still have to keep living, we still have to keep moving forward.

"Worm, aren't you still asleep?"

The little devil stared at the devil's back and called to him worriedly.

"I'm going out for a walk...You should rest first, W."

The moonlight is very bright today, and it should be a very peaceful night. Everyone can get together to sing, eat some simple but delicious food, and think about what to do tomorrow.

Fingertips stroked the intertwined white and red petals, and the hidden sadness emerged again.

"Can't you sleep, Brother Worm?"

A familiar figure sat down beside her. Her demeanor, her tone, and everything about her were exactly the same as that little life.

"Did death make you sad?"

"Does revenge satisfy you?"

She took the wreath, counted the petals, and asked Worm how he felt.

"The taste of death makes me feel sad and makes me cry... Revenge only gives me a moment of relaxation, and what is left is only emptiness."

He is not intoxicated by the pleasure brought by revenge. He hates and resists death taking away the lives around him.

This is good.

"But, what will happen to the relatives of those people you killed? Do they feel the same grief as you and shed tears for their dead relatives?"

Maybe so, maybe so.

"Are we going to do nothing?"

"No, of course not. Brother Worm, my respected Demon King."

She raised the garland high and placed the crown on Worm's head.

"We should resist those villains who bully the weak and are cruel and cruel. Even if killing them will make people related to them feel sad and shed tears, the exchange is that more innocent people will not have to worry about their loved ones. Crying in sorrow because of being persecuted, and not letting your loved ones cry helplessly because you are being persecuted.”

She raised her hand and gently touched the devil's cheek with her fingertips, wiping away his tears.

"Don't be blinded by hatred, and don't be afraid of violent villains."

"We must bravely protect our compatriots, and we must also pass on this bravery to let more people get this courage and practice this bravery."

"Brother Worm, my respected Majesty the Demon King, I look forward to the situation where, with the inheritance of this courage and the following of brave people, our home and our Kazdaele will stand firm again on this land. .”

That must be nice.

122. Regroup and start again

Due to the sudden attack by the Ursus army, a large number of vehicles in the team were destroyed. In order to repair the remaining movable vehicles and organize the remaining supplies, the team stayed here for two days and quickly rested and recuperated afterwards.

Worm took the initiative to take over the defense and patrol work. He controlled the creation to patrol around the new camp day and night with high intensity and sleeplessness.

"Worm, we can set off. Come and have a rest."

"it is good."

Dabuliu's body was still hurting, so he left the driving job to Ines.All the scouts in the team were killed in the war, and it is necessary to step up training or recruit new scouts.

Hedley's absence made Worm feel what kind of pressure the leaders of the team would face without a qualified logistics manager.

"..."

Arturo's departure left an empty seat in the car, and as the only outsider, Avdoga got this seat.

Pink Luper curled up his legs and leaned silently against the car window.

Her life was bought by a Sakaz aunt with her own life.

She hated her own weakness. She was so frightened by the sound of gunfire that her legs were so weak that she couldn't move. She could only lie on the ground and wait for death. If it weren't for her weakness, that aunt could have survived.

"..."

"Worm...I'm sorry."

She apologized to the Sakaz boy beside her.If it weren't for her, Worm would have sacrificed one less compatriot, and no more useless person like her would have survived.

"Why are you apologizing, Afdoga. We have taken over your mission and will send you to the place safe and sound. Alessa is willing to protect you. I feel sad for her sacrifice, but I also respect her choice. "

Worm looked at her, feeling the decadent emotion coming from her, and reached out his hand to touch her hair.

"If you are grateful to Alessa, then live a better life with this feeling."

"But……"

Luper hesitated in front of her, then gritted her teeth and told her situation.

"My money and things were all destroyed by a shell... Now I have no money to pay the remaining remuneration."

She felt ashamed. That Aunt Sakaz sacrificed herself to protect her, but she was of no use and could not help her.

Saying this...will she be left behind if she has no use anymore?Or will he be killed, one life is worth another?

"It doesn't matter, Afdoga. I have taken over your mission and will send you to where you want to go."

"But Worm...I, I didn't..."

"If you are unwilling to accept help without asking for anything in return, help us do something there. Organize food, collect fresh water, maintain the camp... whatever you do, until you think you can accept help."

Worm closed his eyes. His rest time in the past two days was very short. Now that the team's operation is back on track, he also needs to take a rest to ensure that his combat power remains within the normal range.

"...Thank you, Worm. I will try my best."

Afdojia looked at the receding scenery outside the window without any nostalgia.

This country always refreshes the lower limit of her knowledge.

But now that I can finally leave, the future...if I follow Worm, it will be better.

"..."

"Sonia, do you want to eat honey cake? There is one hidden in the small moment."

The furry dog's head is very comfortable to touch. If it were normal, Sonia would be happy to talk, play and eat some snacks with her.

But she has no interest these days.

"Xiao Mo, have you... ever encountered such a situation?"

Her friend was seriously injured and died due to her own fault, and she did not have any resentment. Instead, she encouraged her to live well.

Every time Sonia thought about this, she couldn't help but want to cry.But how could she keep crying? If she kept crying and continued to be weak, could she still be called Ranger Winter?

"Well... Xiaoke has always been alone. I met Brother Worm and left with Sonia and you guys. Sonia... Fuqiu and the others... will they never come back?"

Kiobe had no recognition of companions before, and he did not have much reaction to the death of life.

But after seeing her "friend" sleeping peacefully and never waking up again, she felt depressed and unhappy. She couldn't even eat her favorite honey cake.

"...will come back. When Worm builds Kazdaele, and when their relics and ashes are buried in Kazdaele land... they will come back."

Sonia followed her Sakaz friends and listened to the legends of Sakaz and the origins of various festivals told by several of the Demon King's guards.

She found Sakaz's Black Celebration, Sakaz's Requiem, and the various ways in which Sakaz commemorated the dead, commemorated death, and welcomed new life, all of which she found novel and interesting, and recorded them all in her notes.

She believed, and now believes, that the souls of her friends will return to their homes to reunite with their loved ones during the Black Celebration of Sakaz.

"really?"

"Really. It must be true."

Believe...believe in Worm.

'...'

Theresia gently stroked the child's hair and watched him fall asleep, then she showed a relaxed expression.

But the brief tranquility did not last long, and the convoy was attacked again.

This time it is not the army of Ursus, because they have left the territory that Ursus nominally owns and entered the wilderness of the empty area where there is no specific division between countries. Only those exiles will appear here. Or a group of mercenaries.

'Worm...'

What Theresa was worried about happened.

Worm only slept for 10 minutes?

If you go to fight now, the fatigue will accumulate even more. There are other soldiers who also have injuries of various sizes. They have to go through the battle again, and the unhealed wounds will probably burst again.

"Wait for me, Worm..."

The little devil wanted to go out and fight with her devil, but her body was still recovering and her mobility was greatly reduced, so she was directly held down by Ines.

"You stay, W. I'll go."

"Hey, go ahead, Ines. Don't let Worm get too tired."

Dabuliu gritted his teeth and responded reluctantly.

"It's Rusty Hammer..."

Mud Rock is also a wounded person, but now except for the Demon King's guards, only her team still retains some combat effectiveness, so she has to come out to fight.

"You stay."

Worm pulled out his knife and stepped forward.

"Worm, we are also your warriors."

Mu Yan did not listen to his order. This introverted Sakaz girl, who usually blushed if she hugged him for a little longer, followed him forcefully. Her companions had the same attitude. .

"Even if you are the Demon King, our Demon King, don't ever think of abandoning us, and don't fight alone again."

"Okay. Then let's fight side by side, Mudrock."

This rusty hammer has a small number of people, but it is still several times more than the team with only 40 people left.

"His Majesty!"

The Demon King's Guards divided half of their number, 41, to fight with their king, while the rest stayed in the convoy to protect the Demon King's people.

"Quell."

The commander of the Demon King's Guards fought bravely in the last battle and killed 240 nine enemies. However, he also lost 26 of his comrades because of his misunderstanding of the times.

This was a shame that could not be washed away. It was precisely because the Demon King was kind and did not punish his command that he felt even more ashamed. He vowed to use battle to prove again that they deserved this honor, this honor of defending the Demon King, and protecting the Demon King. The honor of the Demon Prince's people.

When fighting Ursus's organized army, they are at a disadvantage due to the heavy fire suppression and the madness of the self-destructing infantry. However, in hand-to-hand combat with these enemies, the Demon King's guards are invincible.

'...'

Theresia was always watching the changes on the battlefield. She was very worried, worried about these soldiers, worried about her children...
