holy flame

The wave of refugees that made everyone worry was resolved by a third party in a swift and brutal manner overnight.

The refugees really didn't know where the valley was. They followed the mountain, devouring everything they could eat, while advancing.As a result, they disturbed some monsters that shouldn't be disturbed - wild griffins.The Griffin is one of several known social beasts that live on cliffs. It is even said that the human dynasties on some continents domesticated the Griffin as a common weapon.But on this big road, the Griffin is still just a monster that makes people discolored.

The scouts who followed the victims were afraid of being taken away as food, so they only dared to follow from a distance, so they didn't know what the victims did, so that they angered the griffins, but suddenly, they perched in the distance The group of griffins in the mountains flew over the victims, and then there was a bloody storm...

Although the scouts sent the news back to the valley as quickly as possible, the people in the valley couldn't do anything.Of course they know about the group of griffins, there are hundreds of adult griffins, even if there are paladins on their side,

That's not easy to deal with, and even though the people being attacked are humans, they are crazy humans who are not much better than undead and monsters. Even if they save them at a huge price, I'm afraid their kindness will not be rewarded.From the soldiers to the generals in the valley, they couldn't forget the horrible sight of blood everywhere but no dead bodies on the first day they came to Belaka.

With only a handful of people agreeing to the rescue, Commander Lance of course ignored it until the scouts reported that the battle was over, and he sent a team of 500 people to the scene to check.

Samuel, whose wounds had scabbed over, dragged Eric to join the team in order to move his body.

The scene was miserable, even people who were used to the bloody battlefield couldn't help frowning.The leaves that had turned golden were all dyed red by blood. In addition to the fruits of the trees hanging from the branches, there were also human stumps and internal organs. The smell of blood and corpses was so strong that it was suffocating. .

Herbivorous beasts have long avoided far away, but carnivorous beasts and monsters have already come to the feast in groups of three or five. For them, these human corpses are a rare feast before winter .

"Pile up the corpses and burn them." The leading officer seemed to be giving an order, but also seemed to be sighing with emotion.

The army temporarily became a corpse collection team, and the soldiers were divided into several teams to sort out the corpses in one place, while Samuel and several other paladins who followed were responsible for leading a few soldiers to drive away wild beasts and magical beasts.

Samuel chopped off the head of the last wolf, and some soldiers immediately went up and peeled off the wolf's skin. They didn't want the meat. After all, these monsters just ate human flesh. What's the point of eating their meat and indirectly eating human flesh? Different - of course, this is also related to the fact that the army is no longer short of food.

Looking around, the beasts have retreated into the forest wisely. Obviously, although the temptation of food is great, life is more important.Samuel, who had nothing to do for the time being, looked at Eric subconsciously.he dated julien

Sometimes, Julian will always come up, talk to him, or do some "little gestures".But Eric is completely different. When traveling in Crowleyn, he was very indifferent and lacked a sense of presence.Sometimes he can't even speak a word for a whole day, and his problem, even after interacting with Samuel, still hasn't changed in the slightest.

And Samuel himself is also a defensive and counter-attacking figure socially. He can answer only when someone initiates a topic.As a result, the result of him and Eric being together is that the two of them are often in a strange state of relative silence, and then they are doing what they should do.It seems that dating or not, it doesn't change much for them.

In this situation, even Samuel, whose understanding of feelings is still in the state of the top class in kindergarten, knows that something is wrong, but what should be done?

Just when Samuel was watching Eric in a daze and thinking hard, there was a sudden exclamation from behind them.

"Griffin! Griffin!" Griffin has a high IQ, and they will not leave their injured companions behind. All the soldiers who carried the corpses also thought that the griffins who stayed at the scene were dead, and no one Thinking, there was such a griffin, after being approached by humans, it suddenly screamed and stood up.

Samuel, who was closest, drew his sword and rushed over: "Everyone back off!"

Swinging back the soldiers around, Samuel raised his sword and approached cautiously step by step. The griffin straightened its neck and let out a sharp whistle, but Samuel gradually became less nervous.Even if this griffin is still alive, it won't live much longer.One of its wings and two left legs were broken, and its whole body was lying on the ground. The blood and water had messed up the fur on its left side.

"Do what you should do." Samuel said to the surrounding soldiers while staring at the griffin, and stood there holding a sword. Slowly dying, as long as Samuel is here to hold him back.

The other soldiers were only frightened at first, but soon calmed down, and did what they should do at a safe distance.

The griffin yelled twice more, obviously it also noticed the situation in front of it.Just when Samuel thought it would give it the final blow with all its strength, Shi suddenly burst into tears. It looked at Samuel's big dark brown eyes

What is carried in the eyes is no longer vigilance and vigilance, but infinite pleading and attachment, and then, Samuel clearly saw it crying...

The Griffin fell down, and Samuel used his fighting spirit to cut a bloody scar on the Griffin's neck from a distance, but the Griffin remained motionless, so he walked over slowly .

The dying eyes of the griffin made Samuel a little strange. He carefully inspected the griffin's body, and finally found an egg half as tall as a man in its lower abdomen.The white egg was still warm and filled with the mother's blood.

Back at the camp that day, Samuel's tent had an extra egg wrapped in griffin fur.

"We don't know how to hatch griffin eggs," Hadro said when he came to his tent.

"I'm just trying."

"The griffin has a big belly. If it hatches, how will you feed it?"

"I know how to hunt, even in winter there are still prey in the mountains."

"We are only here for a temporary rest. If you need to move, what are you going to do with it?"

"On my horse's back."

"Okay." Hadro sighed, "Remember, paladins are responsible for what they do."

"Yes, my captain."

After seeing Hadro off, Samuel returned to the tent and found Eric sitting on the ground, holding the egg in a funny pose.

"Eric?"

"Ugh! I

Just thought it might keep the eggs warmer. "Eric blushed and stood up. Samuel wasn't there when he came, so he didn't expect Samuel to come back so soon.

"It's a pretty pose, you continue." Samuel smiled and sat on the bed.
