Raas opened his eyes. Just like when he was living in Ancient Stone City, there were no dreams. It was already daytime when he woke up.
He stared blankly at the ceiling, his brain finally starting to work.
"Icky, Icky!"
"Hey, lower your voice, there are other injured people here."
At this time, a woman's voice sounded. Raas looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in white clothes with a white headscarf walking over. She was a doctor, or rather, a healer. There were beds around her with injured people lying on them.
What's going on?
Raas was puzzled.
"How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "
The woman sat beside Raas' bed and asked while holding his forehead.
"No, my stomach is just a little uncomfortable. Oh right! Where's my friend? Where is he? "
Raas asked hurriedly.
The woman revealed a troubled expression. "I don't know about your friend. It was the general who brought you back. You can ask him if you have any questions. If you don't feel uncomfortable, you can leave."
Raas froze for a moment, then hurriedly got off the bed and ran out in a pair of shoes that were a few sizes too big.
There were many injured people here. He glanced around and didn't see Icky. They were all imperial soldiers.
He opened the door and saw a large road with many houses around it. Soldiers were coming and going on the streets. Many people had been arrested. He could hear someone crying. However, Raas only felt that it was unfamiliar. Where was this place?
He didn't know what to do. He had never been here before. He looked around and didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, he bumped into someone.
"Hey! Don't look at the back of your head, kid. "
"I'm sorry."
Raas felt terrible. He felt helpless.
At this time, a voice reached Raas' ears amidst the chaos.
"Raas! Raas! "
He turned around but didn't see the person who called him. This made him feel a little silly.
Suddenly, someone grabbed his shoulder and gave him a fright.
"Raas, thank the heavens. Why did you run out? You're still a sick kid. Don't run around."
He turned around and found that it was the uncle from the logistics team. The calluses on his hands were still thick.
"Uncle!"
Raas' expression softened after seeing him. He let out a sigh of relief.
"Uncle, where is this place?"
"Barrow City, that's the city that General Bloan attacked. Hehe, those Eagle Bandit Army definitely didn't think that we would slip behind them and disguise ourselves as their volunteer army. You know, when they opened the door and let us in, they were cheering. Haha, even now, I still remember their shocked expressions when they saw us slaughtering them. Forget it, forget it. You'll catch a cold if you wear so little. Go back and get dressed. "
He nudged Raas, and Raas couldn't get a word in when he was talking. Then, he put his arm around Raas' shoulder, and the two of them walked down the street together, although they didn't know where they were going.
"Uncle, uncle! Where are my friends? Have you seen a man called Yi Qi? "
Hearing this, the uncle was stunned for a moment. He frowned and said, "Calm down. I don't know that much, but I heard that the garrison troops didn't retreat according to plan, causing the army to collapse and many people to die. I'm very happy to see that you were able to escape, kid, you know? More than ten thousand people died, but you survived. You are very lucky. "
Hearing this, Raas's face turned ashen.
"Who saved me, where is he?"
"It's the general. You seemed to have escaped halfway, and he found you. Hey! Where are you going? "
Halfway through the uncle's words, Raas suddenly ran out.
"I'm going to find the general."
"He's not over there. This way, that minaret!"
The uncle shouted at Raas, and the boy replied with a thank you, then walked towards the center of the city.
"Hey, this kid, he's alive and kicking. Looks like he's fine."
He shrugged, then continued walking down the street, and was soon drowned in the sea of people.
…
There were several people sitting in the room, and they were all high-ranking military officers. General Bloan was also there, and the Demon King was sitting in the main seat.
"Since General Bloan is so insistent, then we will continue to divide our troops into two groups. Reorganize for two days, and when the logistics team arrives, we will immediately march into the heart of the North."
"Yes, sir!"
"General, a young man called Raas wants to see you."
Just as the meeting was about to end, a soldier walked in.
"Everyone, today's meeting is over."
With that, everyone stood up and left the room. Only General Bloan sat at the end, and after everyone left, he sighed.
"Thank you."
After saying these two words in a low voice, he put on his hat, stood up, and left the room.
The Demon King looked at his back as he left, and smiled faintly. Then he looked at the soldier and said, "Let him in."
"Yes, sir!"
…
The young man came in with an excited expression, and it seemed that he had been waiting outside for quite some time.
"General! Have you, have you seen my friend? He's about the same height as me, but he's thinner than me, and his hair is a little curly. "
He asked excitedly, and there was a bit of fear and unease in his eyes.
The Demon King sighed softly, and he gave a look to the soldier guarding the door, and the latter immediately nodded and left the room, closing the door behind him.
"I'm sorry to tell you that when I arrived, you were the only one alive, and there were many corpses around you."
Raas was stunned, and he didn't know what to say, and his heart skipped a beat.
Then, sorrow surged like a tide, turning into tears, and he couldn't stop them from flowing down.
"Those corpses will turn into Evil Spirits the next day, so we can only burn them all."
The Demon King added.
The young man was crying silently, and he clenched his teeth, trying not to make a sound. He recalled what happened at that time, the tragic battle, the fleeing soldiers, the blood-stained snow, and that terrifying blonde girl.
It's her! She killed Yi Qi! She turned Yi Qi into a monster.
"A blonde woman …"
"Hmm?"
"Lord Demon King, there's a terrifying blonde woman, it's her, she turned people into monsters and controlled them, and she also wanted me to poison you."
"A blonde woman? I'll be careful, thank you for your advice, Raas. "
The Demon King said thoughtfully.
Raas wiped his tears, and he suddenly remembered what Yi Qi said to him, and that sentence was branded in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of it.
Why would Lord Demon King help him like this, what benefits would it bring? He was just an ordinary person with nothing, and the other party couldn't get any benefits from him.
His tears suddenly stopped, and his expression gradually turned into one of confusion. The Demon King noticed this change.
"Ask away."
"Huh?"
"I know you want to ask me some questions, go ahead."
Hearing this, Raas gulped, took a deep breath, and asked with a trembling voice: "Lord Demon King, why are you so good to me?"
