Release that Witch Chapter 238: How could I regret it?
A week later, the First Army expedition and witches finally arrived in Border Town. From the date of set off, this mission took almost half a month, which was five days later than expected.
The main reason is that when the fleet set off on their way home, Petrov Hull, the agent of stronghold, sent a messenger to report the occurrence of unknown disease of Longsong Stronghold.
Because Roland has already given a reminder to Petrov, when the disease was discovered, he took the best possible measures to isolate it, closed the entire urban area, and sent a message to Border Town as soon as possible.
After receiving the epidemic report, Roland asked Macy to speed set off and follow Scarlet Water River to the east, search for the fleet carrying First Army soldiers, and let them divert to Longsong Stronghold at the Scarlet Water River fork, extinguish the evil and return to small town.
Roland led the remaining First Army members and the members of the expedition to welcome their smooth return in dock. With the familiar military march, the soldiers excitedly saluted the prince. Many people imitated Knight ceremony kneeling on one knee and shouted long live. After leaving dock, they hugged tightly with their loved ones, and Echo sounded the salute at the right time. The scene was lively and unusual, attracting many serfs and refugees onlookers.
Back at the castle, Iron Axe gave a complete report on the mission.
"You mean, there is witch among the enemies attacking First Army this time?" Roland thought for a moment, "This is unlikely to be Mouse people."
"Tasa also thinks that, he even thinks that Mouse is also assigned by other forces, otherwise this group of dregs rarely leave the nest. They can drive Mouse to have witch. In addition to Timothy in Kingdom Capital, only Church is left. "Iron Axe said," Even those big noble can't take out all the chips in one go to make the largest black street organization in the country. "
"However, Timothy is in eastern region. In addition, I dare to send witch to fight alone. I think Church's is a bit bigger." Roland thinks of the encounters of Wendy and Ash, and thinks that Church has a group of witch secretly cultivated strange. "Are you sure she is dead?"
"I was hit by the chest with Nightingale, and my chest was broken." Iron Axe nodded. "We buried her in the wheat field, where we found the body of the sentry soldier."
A team of three hundred people encountered a large number of Mouse night raids on the last day. In the end, they were killed and wounded. The only victim was the hand of the enemy witch. All four wounded were wounded by hand with a crossbow. The revolving rifle burst fire caused the battle to end without entering the melee phase. The wounded were also properly bandaged. After returning to Border Town, they were immediately treated with Nana. Due to the presence of Lily, the wound would hardly be infected. As long as the crossbow missed a vital organ, the wounded soldiers had a high chance of surviving after stopping the blood.
In general, the First Army's first expeditionary operation achieved such results and has made Roland very satisfied. As for sneaking into the whistle, he didn't know much about it. He only knew that he had to set up a light and dark whistle to monitor each other, but how to get it, let him leave it to Iron Axe to figure it out.
"It's hard. I will have a ceremony of honor tomorrow. It will be in the central square of small town. Please inform all members of First Army."
After Iron Axe retired, Roland was released a long breath.
"Good job," he took out a bag of charcoal-grilled dried fish from the drawer and placed it on the table. "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid they would be in danger."
Nightingale appeared in shape, and accepted dried fish with a smile. "Well said before set off, everything has me."
"How good is the opponent?"
"The dexterity and decisiveness should be after years of training. If it wasn't for her turning around and trying to resist, I would have fallen into the mist, maybe it would be stained by the sultry powder she threw out." Nightingale He shrugged and talked about the fighting process lightly, but he knew it was all between the light and flint, "I didn't want to kill her ... but when I saw her piercing Wendy's eyes, I knew that except death Besides, nothing can stop her. "
"..." Roland was silent for a moment, "Remember what you said to me when you returned from stronghold after defeating the militia team of Timothy?"
Nightingale thought about it, "It's not your fault?"
"That's right," he nodded. "If she is an witch raised by Church from a young age, she will only treat you as a traitor, fallen person. Without years of acquaintance, it will be difficult to get her mind back On track ... At least, you saved Wendy their lives. "
Nightingale laughed, "Are you comforting me?"
"Uh ..." Roland coughed twice, "I really think so."
"Don't worry, I won't feel sad for the enemy, although she is witch, but the path she chooses is completely different from the future I want to see. I will communicate on the returning boat." Nightingale touched Put a piece of dried fish into your mouth, "Knock down the enemy and protect the sisters, I'm just doing my duty."
"You can think so," Roland said with relief. It seems that I still underestimated her. I thought she would feel lost and confused for killing witch with her own hands. I did not expect to be able to adjust it in a short time. It seems that Nightingale has reached maturity in terms of mind and belief.
"But I want to ask you one thing," she hesitated for a moment before swallowing the fillet before she said.
"What?"
"for several days, do you and Anna do anything?" Although Nightingale's voice is getting lower and lower, eyes are still staring at the prince, "... you know what I mean."
Roland almost knocked over the cup in his hand, "cough cough, what do you ask ... I'm all busy setting up refugees with for several days, and I have few opportunities to be alone with her."
Her eyes suddenly lit up, "You didn't lie."
"Of course not, but I do"
Roland did not say the second half of the sentence, Nightingale suddenly disappeared in front of him, and then he felt a soft lip stuck to his mouth, the touch was fleeting, leaving only a touch of the salty taste of dried fish. It took him a long time to realize what the other party had done.
"Wait"
As a result, he couldn't say this. Two slender fingers sealed his mouth. Although he couldn't see each other, he knew that Nightingale was on his side.
"I know what you want to say ..." Her whisper came from her ear. "I didn't want to change anything, and I didn't plan to insert it in front of Anna. I just want to stay by your side, that's all. . Please forgive me for not appearing, because now I do n’t know what kind of expression I should face you. Your Highness, do n’t you hate me? ”
"..." Roland opened his mouth. If he said that hating Nightingale is a matter of impossible, the obstacle in his heart comes from his cognition over the past two decades, not just his preference. At this point, he did not Law deceives itself.
"That being the case," she whispered, "then don't say anything. It's not your fault, I just did what I want to do." (To be continued., your support is my greatest Power.)
