You and me under the world tree

Having said that, his eyes couldn't help but focus on the tall war horse.

"Even if you have Skemin, it will take less time than the average person, but you can't support running around day and night."

The fatigue that Wittig is displaying now can be seen as the result of not having slept for a long time.

He must have used the high-speed movement and strong endurance of the divine steed Skamming to come here directly from the Gothic territory without stopping.

"Don't underestimate me."

Facing Said, it should be expressing friendly words, but Wittig expressed his remaining dignity.

"Even now, traveling long distances is not difficult for me."

As if to prove something, Wittig even got off his horse right now.

But the moment his legs hit the ground, his body was clearly showing some signs of weakness.

Sead tried to support him, but the warrior ended up leaning to the right, leaning against his horse.

"I am fine."

he opened his mouth to speak.

Although it didn't look like this on the outside, Sead still didn't help him in the end.

It was Wittig's act of dignity, and he couldn't just destroy it.

"Ok."

After seeing his stubborn performance, Seiyad couldn't help but sighed.

"But looking at you like this, you should need a rest. I'll ask someone to arrange a room for you."

"okay."

For this request, he is not refusing anything.

Perhaps it was because the sword blade on his back was a bit heavy, his body was obviously no longer tall and straight, but hunched over, but he still stood in place relying on his own strength after all.

"So……"

"I can walk by myself."

"Ah."

After hearing what Wittig said, Sead no longer hesitated.

"You arrange someone to go down and take care of his steed."

He instructed the shield girl beside him.

"understood."

She bowed, then walked down the steps to Wittig.

"Help it arrange a larger place, and it doesn't eat ordinary feed."

"What to eat then?"

"Eat meat and drink."

After saying this, Wittig turned around and patted his beloved horse.

"Go."

"squeak"

After snorting lightly, the white Shenjun just took small steps, shaking his head.

"Don't hold the reins, she will follow you."

Afterwards, the shield girl took Skeming away just like that.

"How? Do you need me to help you?"

Seeing that he was the only one left, Sead asked.

To be honest, he was still worried that his cousin would suddenly collapse while walking.

Dignity belongs to dignity, and from Sead's own point of view, of course he still hopes that Wittig will be soft in this regard.

But it's a pity that the Silver Snake Warrior obviously didn't have this idea.

"I said, I can do it myself."

"Um……"

Since Wittig insisted so much, Sead, a "stranger" who theoretically met for the first time, would not emphasize anything more.

"Then come with me, I have quite a lot of empty rooms here..."

This is no joke.

Since retreating to defend the city that belonged to him, Sead has moved the residents of the city on a large scale, trying to build the entire Rose City into a huge fortress, and fully exert the potential of this 'fortress city'.

Of course, it wasn't just the ordinary residents who moved, even the maids and followers who were supposed to work in the palace were basically dismissed.

Because he didn't have the confidence to hold this place, of course it was impossible for these ordinary people to stay here.

As a result, the entire palace became empty under his operation, and a part of it was even closed and used for other purposes.

And when Wittig followed Sead into this 'lord's palace', he saw those closed doors.

Because some of the portals are almost completely closed, the entire corridor even looks cramped.

However, he will not ask about this at will.

Anyway, Sead, as a prince and leader, must have his own plans and plans.

Compared to these, he only needs to do his own thing.

"Speaking of which, I asked before, but you didn't answer the question."

Just as Wittig was thinking, Sead's voice came from his ear.

"what?"

"Why did you come here from the Gothic side? According to the time, when you received the news, Norway actually declared war on Gitland not long ago."

"Well, that's true."

Squinting his eyes, Wittig spoke.

"I heard that Norway declared war, and then I decided to come over and have a look, because I think there is a problem here... Gevarus doesn't seem to be planning for a long time, it seems to me that he has got something , and rely on it.”

This was his initial thought.

And because of this thought, he left the current Gothic Kingdom and entered Gitland.

"Then, I validated my idea."

"Verified?"

Hearing this, Sead's heart tightened subconsciously.

"What was verified?"

Before he knew it, he had stopped his steps.

Just standing at the corner of the corridor, he looked back at Wittig.

"You knew already?"

"Well, I went to Giant Bear City."

Facing Sead's gaze, Wittig nodded slowly.

And after hearing the name of the border city, Sead felt that his breathing had stagnated.

A little chest tightness, and a headache.

"At first I wanted to support you, so I went straight to the border, but when I arrived, I saw ruins, whether it was a fortress, a village or a town, they were all destroyed."

Chapter 13: The so-called rampage...

"Save us, Your Highness! Save us!"

"You promised to protect us!"

"These inhuman beasts!"

The voice just lingered in my ears.

Obviously this incident has passed, and now he is also retreating to Rose City, preparing for the second attack.

However, the voices of those people have taken root in Sead's memory.

Every time he recalled these things, he would feel unstoppable remorse and fear.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to close his eyes.

Sead was afraid that once he closed his eyes, he would see those chaotic scenes.

That sense of powerlessness surged in his heart, making His Royal Highness' breathing difficult and short.

"That's all my fault."

Facing Wittig's gaze, Sead whispered.

"It was I who misjudged Norway's strategic plan. I misjudged their war performance. I didn't let the people evacuate in time to cause this situation."

No matter how many times Sead mentioned this, the anger welling up in his heart seemed uncontrollable.

In this way, it rushed out from the depths of the soul, directly spread to the whole body, and impacted the defense line called reason in the brain.

And for a moment, it even completely tore the mind to shreds.

'boom'

Suddenly, Sead raised his hand and slammed it against the wall.

And with that dull sound, his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

It wasn't because of the unbearable pain, it was just that he couldn't control himself.

"I'm sorry for them, Wittig."

"Is that so..."

Staring at Sead's red eyes, Wittig couldn't help thinking.

He thought of many things.

For example, the situation encountered when guarding the eastern defense line a few years ago, or the dilapidated conditions he saw.

Abandoned legions, depressed towns.

It has to be said that Wittig understands that feeling very well.

If it wasn't for me, then certain things wouldn't happen.

If it is not for oneself, then it will not cause any pain and killing.

Once the idea of ​​this comes up, it feels like being completely on the wave of pain.

Can't escape, can't escape.

Every day and every night, I will be washed by the waves of pain and regret, making it difficult to breathe, and even wanting to end my life at one point.

However, Wittig would not say something like 'understanding' without authorization because of this.

Because he knew very well that his cousin was different from himself.

Even though the situation and mentality are similar, the fundamentals of the matter are different.

He deserves to be blamed on himself.

For Goth's divisive situation at that time was inseparably connected with his stupid behavior.

but……

"Your affairs cannot be generalized. Norway's abnormal behavior has nothing to do with you."

Facing Sead's gaze, Wittig spoke.

At this moment, the memory in his mind was fixed on the ruins he saw.
