A peerless killer possessing a cat girl assassin from another world

At the border between the Kingdom of Dorok and the Kingdom of Norton, at the foot of Lonely Mountain.

The former wooden fortress has long been demolished, and only thousands of tombs remain at the foot of the mountain.

Buried here are soldiers who fought for freedom and coalition soldiers who suppressed the uprising.

Too many people died in this war, too many to take away...

Even if it could be taken away, it would not be possible to send it back intact to its hometown thousands of miles away.

It would be better to bury them all on the battlefield where the two sides once fought... so they have a final resting place.

"So... there are so many..."

"More than 2,000 people died in the rebel army, and the number of the coalition forces was almost the same... This is how war works. In the past, this was considered a small number... I heard from the Batorians that most of these dead people didn't even know their names, and almost no relatives were alive... So they couldn't even carve their names..."

Wu Yue walked to a grave and propped up a fallen wooden board with the words "Respect, Free Man" engraved on it...

"We... and the Kingdom of Dorok... occasionally we send some people to take care of it... to prevent ghouls or other creatures from digging up the corpses..."

Stone continued.

"I hope their sacrifices were worth it..."

"Of course, of course it's worth it, girl, the living will prove it to them."

Shi Dong said, patting Wu Yue's shoulder gently.

"is it?"

An abrupt male voice interrupted the current atmosphere.

Wu Yue looked at the person who came.

"...Mr. Maglock?"

"Ah, it's you...Why are you here instead of staying in the city?"

Stone obviously knew Maglock, although they had only met a few times.

When Maglock saw Wu Yue, his eyes looked a little unnatural.

"Long time no see, I remember your name is, Wu Yue?"

Then Maglock looked at Stone:

"Will the living prove it to them? But some people don't even have a grave, how can they prove it?"

Wu Yue knew who Maglock was talking about.

"Master, what should I do?"

"How should I know? Hasn't this guy reacted yet?"

Without waiting for Stone to reply, Maglock looked at a cemetery in the distance, which belonged to the coalition forces.

"If they are still alive, the only thing you can prove to them is that what they participated in was a farce, and these... and those... were meaningless sacrifices..."

After not seeing him for a while, this innocent knight has become sentimental...

Speaking of which, among the entire coalition, the only ones who really gave their all were Maglock's Fajar Cavalry...

Saying that they died unjustly... seems to be true...

Maglock's words seemed to endorse the cause of the rebels, although the expression was a little... not so euphemistic...

"Oh my god... why is this guy acting like a woman..."

Shi Dong didn't know what to say next. He had already thought of how to ridicule this defeated opponent, but was abruptly interrupted by a certain sad atmosphere. He felt uncomfortable...

"Uncle Stone...Why is Mr. Maglock here?"

Wu Yue asked in a low voice.

"It's a long story. Anyway, the Kingdom of Faga seems to be the type that knows how to deal with the current situation... They don't want to fight with us, so they sent a defeated general as an envoy... to discuss cooperation."

"This is a good thing. We don't have to fight..."

"But this knight seems to be in a bad mood..."

Stone deliberately turned up the volume so that Maglock could hear it.

"Whatever you say, I'll leave after the mission is completed."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to leave for a while... If you can walk through the sandstorm, feel free to do so..."

There seems to be a lot of tension between the two...

"Let's go girl, it's time to continue on our journey."

"and many more."

Wu Yue was about to follow Shi Dong back to the main road when he was stopped by Maglock.

"I have something to tell you."

"Hurry up, girl. And you, boy, don't say anything weird to her, you hear me?"

Stone glanced at Maglock and left first.

......

"...Um...Mr. Maglock, do you have anything to say?"

Wu Yue asked tentatively.

"Who are you to her?"

"......who?"

"Miss Ruby."

"...friends...students...all of them."

"Both a teacher and a friend? I don't think you're sad about her leaving... I thought you didn't know her very well."

"Since you two are in such a relationship, then I have found the right person to talk to."

"You have a very good teacher. Miss Ruby has taught me a lot... If it weren't for the hope she gave me before she left, I might not have survived the charge..."

"I just hate that I couldn't catch up and fight alongside her in the end..."

"If she can still hear what I say... Although I participated in an unjust war... His Majesty still pardoned my sins... I am still his knight, and now I am fortunate to be an envoy to make friends with the dwarves... I have let go of the obsession that you didn't persuade me to let go of... But..."

"But now there is a new obsession..."

"Maybe I will never forget you in my life..."

At this moment, Maglock regarded Wu Yue as the most suitable listener and spoke out the pain that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"...Mr. Maglock...I understand how you feel...It's hard to get over a...'relationship'...I'm also sad about Miss Ruby's passing...She wasn't born in a good era...She had to hide some things because of her background...The final outcome was not what we wanted to see..."

When Wu Yue said this, he was actually talking about Ruby Moore a hundred years ago, because only in this way can some true feelings be revealed...

After all, Miss Ruby did have a tragic ending...it's a pity.

"But Miss Ruby often says the same thing to me."

"If we are destined to meet again, we will surely meet again someday..."

"Did she really say that?"

Upon hearing these words, Maglock's drooping eyebrows suddenly raised.

Isn't this exactly the half sentence that Miss Ruby didn't finish saying that day?

"Yes, yes..."

Wu Yue was startled by Maglock's rising emotions and confirmed.

"But what does this mean?"

Maglock chewed on this sentence which was inappropriate to the situation at that time.

"Mr. Maglock... I also told you that she doesn't want you to be like this... But seeing that you are in good spirits now... I believe you must have your own answer... I have also witnessed a lot of 'losses'... Including myself, I have also lost things... But the living should still focus on what we have... What do you think?"

After saying this, Wu Yue bowed deeply to the graves all over the mountains and walked away, leaving the knight alone, standing there in deep thought.

......

"That last remark is a good one."

Bai Ye said.

"It's my job to help Master deal with troubles... even though this trouble was caused by Master~"

"...Now you know the price of lying, right? How many lies do you need to cover up one lie?"

"Master's personal experience?"

"Yeah... Besides... acting is really tiring..."
