Heroes Who Can't Fit into the Team and New Encounters

In his eyes, it was Kerr who showed mercy and spared his life.

Kerr had been watching the man's back.

"..."

When the figure of the man disappeared into the smoky farm, Kerr's knees softened and he knelt down.

Then, the entire upper body fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Falian and Carol came to him later, otherwise Kerr would have died in that farm.

This is how Kerr and Cyrus met.

At the same time, it is also the closest step for the demons to kill the brave and destroy the kingdom of Ayers.

As for Kerr's narration of this memory, Chloe buried her whole body in the soft leather seat and listened.

The demon girl raised her legs and expressed the following opinion:

Chloe: Falcon-like eyes?Who are you talking about?

Kerr: Me, of course it's me.Hey, didn't I say that?I'm the only one left alive there.

Chloe: Mmmmmm... But the look in your eyes doesn't have the feeling you said at all... Ah, I remembered, it's the kind of old scalper who plows the fields!

Kerr: Although you said half of what you said, I can understand it!I am not a cow!There is no one in this world who is afraid of being stared at by a cow!

Chloe: But you're not a falcon either?

Kerr: At least I can fly.

Chloe: So, why did Kerr, who was like a falcon at the beginning, become what he is now?When I met you in the tavern, I was like a sad man whose wife ran away.

Kerr: Listen quietly...or I'll say it...

Chloe: Okay, okay, say it, say it.

No.70 Chapter Seven: A Brief Peace at Dawn

Then another time, Kerr and Cyrus meet again on the battlefield.

It was dawn.

Transitioning from darkness to light, the vitality of the sun floods the earth from beyond the eastern horizon.

Kerr woke up on the battlefield, he should have fallen asleep in a nap last night.

There was a dead body lying behind, and the surroundings were very silent.

The sun is a little harsh.

Kerr lay on the corpse and twisted his torso, relaxing his tired body a little.Muscles and bones went from tense to relaxed, and that comfortable feeling turned into a moan that jumped out of his mouth.

At this time, a figure bent and knelt and stretched out his hand to Kerr.Because the person's back was facing the sun, Kerr couldn't see the person's face clearly.

"Thank you."

Kerr held that hand and sat up from a lying position. There was a corpse under his buttocks, and he was sitting on the back of the corpse.

"..."

The man didn't speak, and silently sat beside Kerr.

"This is war. The dead are lying on the ground. This is war."

The man opened the conversation.

Kerr stared blankly at the sunlight in the distance, completely relaxed by himself, thinking about nothing.

It's dull and soft, and won't move even if you poke it with a needle.

Kerr's answer to the man was this.

"Well. But if you don't do it yourself, you will die. You will die, and your companions will die too."

"Isn't there any way?"

"Just kill all the enemies."

The man looked at Kerr's profile, his face was filled with disbelief.Kerr turned to look at that person, with the indifference in his eyes like looking at a fool.

"Demon Race, it's best not to reach out to humans next time."

"...Who told you to let me go last time..."

Here is another battlefield.

There were broken weapons everywhere, and corpses lying on the ground.Many polearms were stuck on the corpses on the ground, which were the marks and tombstones of the dead.

The people Kerr brought were all dead, but so were the enemies.

The reason is simple, the root cause of this result is insufficient number of people.

This is an ambush site of the magic army.

The Demon Army and the Ayres Kingdom Army are about to clash on a large-scale battlefield not far from here, and the Magic Army ambushed a troop to prepare for a sneak attack.

Therefore, after discovering Kerr here, he decided to lead a small army to wipe out this demon army.

But now Kerr has no troops to use at all, because most of the soldiers in the Kingdom Army are private soldiers of the local and royal nobles, and they do not obey Kerr's mobilization and command.

But it would be too shameful for a brave man to go out to fight and not even be able to lead a soldier.Therefore, the nobles prepared an old, weak, sick and disabled army for Kerr to take out.

Therefore, Kerr's ability to annihilate the enemy basically depends on his personal strength, and other people can only be used as bait.

As for the rest of the Brave Squad, Falian is a noble maiden and is not suitable to be a combat member in such a small-scale battle.

Carroll, on the other hand, took another well-equipped troop to other ambush points of the demons. This was because of the concern that Carroll was a heroine.

Kerr rushed into the ambush at night and started a fierce battle.

At the beginning, you could still hear the screams of killing and the explosion of magic release, but as the battle progressed, there were fewer and fewer people alive, and the battlefield became more and more lonely.

Some people ran away because of fear, some screamed as their physical strength declined, some swung their swords all night and fell to the ground exhausted, and finally others crushed their heads.

Not everyone has excellent physical strength and a strong physique. Many soldiers are used to make up the number, especially the Ayers Kingdom.

This is how the dark night battle ended, and Kerr was the only one who won.Other demons died, injured, and all other humans died.

However, the number was not large, because the nobles who commanded the battle did not want to hand over the soldiers to Kerr to lead them.

According to the nobles, it is: I trust your ability.

This led to the present result.

Kerr and a surviving demon stared blankly at the rising sun.

The powerlessness and emptiness after the battle embraced the two of them, preventing them from being hostile to each other.

"Mozu, I still remember you, you were the one who shot me with a fireball last time."

Of course, Kerr would not show weakness in front of the enemy, he would not tell the other party that he almost died.

"So I am very grateful that you let me go at that time. If it weren't for this war, I should still be guarding the door of the Duke's house."

Kerr glanced at the demon. He looked older than Kerr, just like the 30-year-old soldiers Kerr knew.Kerr sometimes finds it very strange why the demons are called "demons". The only difference between them and humans in appearance is the black nails.

"Are you drafted?"

"It's not so much conscription as it is that I was captured by the Demon King. It was because he wanted to invade Ayers that we had to join the war."

"Is that so..."

same as me.

Carroll and I were also captured as heroes when we were teenagers.

Although according to the people of the Kingdom, they came to us as heroes by "please".But in fact, who among the peasants would dare to disobey the order of the kingdom?

How can there be a child in this world who is willing to fight?Even though I was given the title of brave, it doesn't seem to work on the battlefield.

Only you and the Holy Sword are worthy of trust.

and partners.

"Are you a brave man? What's your name? My name is Cyrus."

This strange demon man spoke to Kerr and revealed his name.Little did Cyrus know that if he hadn't escaped last time, the war might have been over.

"I'm Kerr."

"how old are you?"

"Almost 17 years old."

"Still a young child."

Cyrus lowered his head so weakly that his forehead almost touched his chest.

"Demon Race, retreat your troops. Under the leadership of the Saintess, we will never lose this war."

Kerr squinted his eyes, and the newborn sun shone into his eyes. He was a handsome young man.

"It's useless for you to tell me, I'm just an ordinary person who was pulled in."

"Before I became a brave man, I was a farmer. If it weren't for you, I should still be farming. Sometimes I can't eat, but I live a plain and simple life."

"Me too. If the Demon King hadn't declared war on humans, I should still be the gatekeeper at the gate of the Cliff family."

"You demons are the ones who started the war." Kerr stood up, unsheathed the bloody holy sword from his waist, and patted Cyrus' face with the sword: "Are you sure I won't kill you?"

"Then you kill me. I'm tired. I've been casting magic all night, swinging swords all night, and now you can give me a sip of water, I'm willing to die."

"..."

"And you, Ayers, are too unkind, aren't you? Almost all the people you brought with you last night were old and weak soldiers who couldn't resist. You yourself are a teenager, and Ayers has collapsed to the brink of destroying the country. Do you want to rely on you to fight?"

"..."

The sting spread in my heart.

In fact, Kerr also noticed the fact that he was not welcomed by the kingdom.Although many civilians and soldiers respect Kerr as a brave man, that's all.

But to really obey orders, will the soldiers obey the words of the brave, or the nobles?

It is true that Kerr himself is very strong, but with only such a small force in hand, no matter how strong he is, there is a limit.

The journey of regaining the territory is like walking in water. When going downstream, the water flow is the assistance, and when going upstream, the water flow is the resistance.
