Chapter 187: Pain

On the other side, not far from within the forest, on the outer tree, a shadow of a middle-aged man was sitting on a tree branch; it seems he was observing the situations of the battlefield from a distance.

"Heh, in the end, they still have hearts." The middle-aged man muttered, watching and felt amused.

Since there was additional help from mercenaries, be it the Steel Legion or the Corps of Teleknights, their success rate in eradicating the Dire Wolves controlled by the goblins increased.

Even with the sacrifice of several soldiers who received severe injuries, this could be considered successful, especially for the captain of the royal troops.

But then the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes at the goblins, and he was shocked. "This is weird." He frowned as he glanced at the rest of the Dire Wolves.

Like most beasts, their eyes should contain greed and hunger, but this time not only their eyes looked dull and desperate, their eyes also tell another thing...

"Fear, all of these beasts have the same gaze, included that goblins." The middle-aged man pondered.

At the same time, he also noticed the goblins were trembling; it seems they try to act strong by staying still at the back. It was as if they weren't really controlling over the Dire Wolves, only act as a source of fear towards humans.

"Hmm ..." Looking around, the middle-aged man did not find any beasts left who were hiding or act as reinforcements.

He muttered, "Maybe this could be useful information for Sanders." This man was Vesta, as he immediately went straight to the battlefield after his subordinates left; he did this because he doesn't want his subordinates to always count on him.

And this was proved right when he just sit around on the carriage in battle before. By acting like this, he wants his subordinates to train without counting on him.

After seeing the last of the beasts being eradicated, Vesta breathed a sigh of relief and shifted his focus."The village is safe, now what's about that boy? "Turning his head, Vesta looked back, were not far from his place, was Desmond's location, and his servant.

If it weren't for him seeing Veronica moving immediately at the news of the attack, maybe he would have been there now, protecting Desmond.

After all, Vesta wasn't stupid when she saw the expression of his daughter, who clearly liked this brat, "Hmp! if he dies here, it means he's not strong enough and fit to be my son-in-law!" he snorted.

Even he said this, his heart still couldn't calm down, and he subconsciously continued to look back.

....

Meanwhile, in the depths of the forest, a woman with armor and sword in her hand was running at an abnormal speed.

"Hold on, Selena, Desmond ..." The woman muttered, her face sweating profusely, while her gaze looked unfocused.

Even though her feet were stepping through the thorn bushes, the woman seemed indifferent and continued to move forward while swinging several cuts her sword.

This woman was Veronica. When she received a help message from Selena, without waiting, she immediately rushed.

"That's them!" Veronica exclaimed, seeing a gap between this deep forest and many broken trees.But her heart was beating violently; her steps gradually slowed down as the view slowly became apparent.

"No ... no ..." Her lip quivers when she saw a blurry image of a lot of blood covered in the green forest grass.

....

Getting near the location, she slowly advances as she swept a glance. Her eyes wandered, searching for a human body.

"Help me ..." Her steps stopped when she heard this voice, Veronica who had just arrived at the location, did not immediately answer.

She was freezing, staring blankly at a bright blue hair, with no head or face exposed, lying on the ground with a lot of blood around it.

"Veronica…" the voice came again, weak and helpless through her eardrums until she finally back to sense. With slight trembling and fear, she turned around and glanced at the source of the voice.

"Master Desmond ..." Veronica muttered. Ignoring the pain that ripped her heart, she ran as she sees Desmond's state,

A Dire Wolf corpse bit Desmond's right hand as he leaned on the Dire Wolf's body, while his left hand held the hilt of the sword that managed to pierce the corpse's eye.

Veronica did not suspect anything related to her companion instead she was shocked by Desmond's strength. Sheathed her sword, she helped him to his feet by gently pulled out the Dire Wolf's head corpse.

* sprout *

Blood came out, revealing the severe condition of Desmond's hand, where there were many bite marks, and also parts of the outer skin were torn.

"Don't think about me, please help ... my maid." With a pale white face that looked like a corpse, Desmond said using a weak breath and pointed in another direction with trembling hands.

Veronica slowly turns around to follow Desmond's direction.

Unlike Desmond, Laura's condition looked very bad. A large, sharp wooden branch rose high, piercing her stomach until it reached the corpse of a Dire Wolf in front of her, who was seen biting her shoulder.

Even so, Laura was still strong to stand up with her head down, but it looks like this condition will not last long as a lot of blood continues to come out of her stomach.

"Cough." Laura, who looked unconscious, suddenly woke up and at the same time coughed blood.

Veronica's pupils shrank; she approached Laura quickly. "Please hold on, miss," Unsheathed her sword and raised it as high as the sky, she swung it at an arched angle, making the wooden branch and the wolf crushed and impacted.

* thump *

Veronica swiftly caught her before Laura's body fell, which made her hands and clothes covered with blood.

Veronica then laid Laura's body on the ground and saw a large, deep hole in her stomach. Looking at Laura, who was unconscious again, she bit her lower lip and turn around to help Desmond.

"Than ... k you * cough *." Desmond thanked her while letting out a bloody cough. Because the difference in height between them was not big, this time, he was leaning one of his hands on Veronica's shoulder while being helped to walk towards Laura.

"Laura ..." Desmond muttered, his expression looking devastated. He then glanced at Veronia with a look full of hope.

"She still alive. I'll bring you guys at once to the village." Perhaps because of this dire situation and condition of the two of them, Veronica didn't notice the change in Desmond's usual cold and uncaring attitude.
