Mount and Blade

Hickel looked at the two of them blankly, thinking they were playing a game. After a warning look from Edward, Green nodded and was let go.

"Wow, hoo... hoo..."

Green, who was so suffocated that he was short of oxygen, immediately opened his mouth and panted like an ox. He felt that if he really told the truth, this man would really strangle him to death.

"What happened? Edward, please stop bullying the children and let's have something to eat together." Hickel was so amused by Green's expression that he covered his mouth and snickered.

"...Okay." When Edward saw Hickel's happy look, he no longer cared about what happened just now. Hickel probably didn't hear the conversation just now, right? Edward felt a little relieved. He had always wanted to find a chance to confess to Hickel, but... alas.

While eating, Green looked at Edward and then at Hickel from time to time, muttering to himself: Edward actually likes Hickel so much. Although they are childhood sweethearts, such possessiveness... It seems that there will be more in the future. Keep an eye on this guy.

Hickel noticed Green's little move and thought he was still angry with Edward, so he patted his head gently and said, "Don't be angry, Hanks. Edward was just joking with you."

When Edward heard what Hickel said, he quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, I was just joking with him, I won't really bully him."

But I was thinking in my heart, brat, if you dare to tell Hickel what happened just now, expect to be beaten.

Sure enough...men's gentleness is just for the people they like.

"Hmm... um." Green didn't take it to heart and continued to chew food in his mouth as he replied vaguely, but his eyes still rolled around from time to time, observing the changes in the expressions of the two people, and he was still gossiping in his heart. I'm wondering if the relationship between Edward and Hickel has gone further.

Edward peeked at Sickle from time to time, with an imperceptible blush on his face. Unfortunately, Sickle didn't seem to notice their little thoughts, and just looked at them with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.

"By the way, Hanks, what are your plans in the future?" Hickel suddenly asked.

Green swallowed the food in his mouth and thought seriously, "I want to become stronger, like General Gulenberudo, to protect Grant and everyone."

As the saying goes, talk to people and talk to ghosts. It can be said that Green has learned from Cady's words and deeds. On the surface, he is flawless, but he wants to become stronger and protect the important people.

"Edward should have told you that he wants you to follow General Kirsten tomorrow, right?"

"Huh? He didn't tell me."

"Didn't you say it?" Hickel looked at Edward in confusion, while the latter looked around guiltily.

"It doesn't matter, I'm telling you the same now." Hickel said to Green with a smile, "The Judah people seem to be very restless recently, and they may be going to war again soon. After our unanimous discussion, we decided to train you as Grant The next general.”

"General Kirsten is our oldest and outstanding general in Grant. We also grew up under his command. You will definitely learn a lot from following him."

When Green heard this, he was silent for a long time. They really regarded themselves as family...

"I will definitely work hard!" Green said firmly.

After playing and having fun, Hickel and Edward looked at each other and saw the appreciation in each other's eyes.

Hickel patted Green's shoulder lightly, "I believe you can do it."

At this time, a breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness. Edward took off his coat and put it on Sickle's body.

Seeing this, Green couldn't help but chuckle.

Edward glared at him, "Why are you laughing? Hurry up and eat your food."

Green made a face and continued to eat. Due to more than three months of torture, Green, who was not fat at all, was as thin as a bamboo pole. Tonight, for example, it was typical to come to give him a small stove.

Although it won't recover all at once, fortunately it's almost the same as before.

The bonfire gradually extinguished, and the three figures looked particularly peaceful in the moonlight. There was still a long way to go, but at this moment, their bond gradually sprouted.

After a midnight snack, Green yawned, "I'm sleepy."

"Then go back and rest." Hickel said.

The three of them got up and walked towards their residence. The moonlight shone on them, casting long shadows.

Back in the room, Green lay on the bed and soon fell asleep.

There seemed to be distant murmurs in my sleep, like falling deep into the mountains and sinking into the hot ocean currents.

"Dragon..." "Dragon..." "The King of Dragons..."

"Dragon's... co-owner."

"...I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Green frowned in his sleep, as if he had fallen into the hot lava of a volcano. The totem on his chest became restless, and his body temperature became abnormal.

In the dream, he transformed into a four-legged, double-winged dragon, drinking hot and thick magma, roaring and roaring heartily at the top of the volcano.

The totem on his chest rolled like fire on charcoal, rolling strangely in the darkness, and the demonized sandworm was also burned by the sudden high temperature, trying to bite through the blood vessels, but in exchange it was burned away by the blood. The mouthpart was cut off, and a small stream of blood stained the flesh of the neck and burned part of the demon eye. Unfortunately, the wound on the blood vessel healed quickly.

The high temperature on Green's body quickly ignited the coarse woolen blanket, burning it black until the smell of burning reached Baziso's nose.

Baziso opened his eyes alertly, and the scene in front of him shocked him - Green's bed was on fire, and the whole room was filled with thick smoke.

"Fuck, boss, don't sleep! It's on fire!!"

Baziso immediately jumped up from the bed, quickly picked up the two buckets of water he had just filled tonight, and poured them on Green.

Green seemed to be in a nightmare, and only woke up faintly when Baziso said it was on fire, but his body was so heavy that he seemed to fall asleep in the next second.

He didn't wake up until Baziso poured water on himself, and he shouted "Fuck! It's so cold!"

The fire was put out in time, but the room was filled with thick smoke. Baziso was worried about Green's safety and checked if he was injured.

Green coughed, his eyes were confused, and his mind was still in a daze.

"Green, are you okay?" Bazso asked.

Green shook his head and tried to wake up. He looked at the bed that was just charred to the same size as him and felt confused.

"I...seemed to have had a strange dream." Green murmured.

Bazso stared at Green and couldn't help wondering in his heart. There was no open fire burning in the room.

......

Inside Chester City, Judah.

Kadi was angry at the decision of Tokar, the leader of the Knights of the Sea Beast Yanglu. Stupid, stupid, when the garrison of the "Fire Dragon's Nest" was not loose at all, he chose to lead a large number of civil engineers and artillery troops to attack.

"This is simply courting death!" Kadi cursed indignantly. Even if it is feasible, it will cause super-large-scale casualties.

He turned to look at the map and thought about the response strategy.

Taking the previous battle as a reference, it was a battle that was bound to be lost. Why did Tokar think that he could attack with an army of 20,000 people?

The one who shared Kadi's idea was naturally the "Giant" Abecasis, but unfortunately he was not the current commander. Even though Tokar's plan of attack was extremely stupid in the eyes of the two, they could only persuade him kindly.

However, Tokar's muscular brain didn't care about their opinions at all. He just said "I have made up my mind." and hurriedly prepared for the war.

Kadi sat on a chair in the room, lit only a candle to think about the possible losses and plans in the next battle. He had sorted out the known information through the monitoring and vision of the magic eye.

Gurenberudo probably liked the witch of the "Fire Palace", while Shikel liked Gurenberudo. Edward, as the staff officer of the legion and the chief of all logistics, liked Shikel.

He also knew that Gurenberudo was regarded as an adopted son by General Kirstin. A strategy of attacking the enemy's plan had already taken shape in Kadi's mind. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his messy wool curly long hair was pinned to his ears, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Who cares? Anyway, the countless casualties among Jodah's men suited his purpose.

Suddenly, Kadi felt a dull pain in his chest, and a stream of thick black blood spurted out, staining the table and white paper.
