Bennett woke up the next day, and was greeted by a dizzying feeling of weightlessness and nausea. Looking at his familiar little tent, there was no one next to him. He tried to sit up, but a tearing headache made him fall asleep again.

When I woke up again, Sera was already there.

"water……"

Sera helped Bennett up and put the spout of the kettle to his cracked lips. Unfortunately, his spirit had not recovered yet. As soon as the water reached his mouth, he began to retch violently. Sera had no choice but to put him down, and Bennett fell asleep again.

It was not until the afternoon that Bennett almost fully recovered. When he woke up, he no longer felt like he was on a bungee jumping machine, but his tongue was a little numb and he was hungry.

Bennett looked to the side and saw that the person guarding him was not Sera, but a mother who was breastfeeding her child. He remembered her. Her water broke on the battlefield yesterday and she gave birth on the spot. It seemed that the subsequent disaster did not affect her.

The woman also noticed Bennett turning his head.

"you're awake."

"Well, where's Sierra?"

"Is it the red-haired female knight? She was called away by the soldiers."

The sound of talking might have disturbed the child. After crying loudly for twice, milk overflowed from the little mouth. The woman looked young and it was probably the first time for her to take care of a child. She was shaking the baby helplessly and was so anxious that tears were about to come out.

"Pick him up and tilt his head to one side,"

The woman quickly picked up the child and held him slightly at an angle. The milk flowed out smoothly and the child cried loudly. Bennett breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the child was still crying, the woman took the child into her arms again and planned to continue breastfeeding.

"Don't continue feeding your child after he spits up."

"Ah, really?"

The woman pulled up her clothes. She did not question Bennett's words. After all, Bennett looked very knowledgeable.

"What should I do if the child is still crying?"

"Just shake him gently."

"Oh."

The child was probably tired from crying and fell asleep soon. Bennett and the woman both breathed a sigh of relief.

Bennett was already in a bad mental state, and now he felt even more tired. The woman also noticed Bennett's fatigue, and she felt a little guilty. She originally came to take care of the wizard, but ended up being the one who was causing trouble for him.

"Are you thirsty now?"

Bennett glanced at the sleeping child. He was afraid of disturbing the child again, so he spoke in a low voice: "A little. It would be better if there was some more food."

The woman was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking of. Her face slowly turned red, she lowered her head and hummed a few times, then pulled down her clothes, bent down, and handed the child's canteen to Bennett.

Bennett was stunned. The scene in front of him was so white that it was dazzling. He finally understood why the child vomited milk. His bowl was too big. The feeling of dizziness came over him again. He quickly covered his eyes with his hands.

"That's not what I meant. I'm just a little hungry. Ask the cook to bring some porridge over."

"Oh." The woman sat back with some regret. Without hearing the sound of the woman leaving, Bennett took his hands away from his eyes. The woman did not pull up her clothes. She picked up a bowl from the side and said with a smile, "No need to ask the cook. I have a better one."

Then he squeezed out a bowl of milk and handed it to Bennett: "You and the knights saved our lives yesterday. I don't know how to repay you, but you can come to me if you need to replenish your body in the future."

Bennett looked at the bowl of milk in a trance. He had helped the people in the territory more than once, but no one had ever shown him kindness. He knew that this was a suspicion caused by ignorance and it could not be changed by his helping people a few times.

He doesn't like the people in this world, nor does he ask people to like him. He feels from the bottom of his heart that the people here are hopeless. No matter how much Sera does, he just admires her and has no intention of supporting her.

This bowl of milk sauce today means a lot to him. This is the first time that Bennett feels the warmth from the bottom of this world. They are not numb and they will return the kindness.

Bennett solemnly took the bowl of milk and drank it all. Breast milk is good for babies, but it is definitely not friendly to adults. The fishy smell of milk in his mouth almost made Bennett vomit again. He resisted the feeling of nausea and handed the bowl to the woman, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you, I feel much better."

The woman was very satisfied with Bennett's words. She smiled shyly, took the bowl and was about to squeeze another bowl for Bennett.

Bennett couldn't stand the smell of breast milk, so he quickly stopped the woman's action: "No, I'm much better now, and you don't have much milk, so save it for the child first."

"I have enough milk. You can come to me next time if you want to drink. I won't tell anyone."

The woman seemed to have misunderstood something, but Bennett was relieved to see her put down the bowl.

"Can you pass me the book?"

"Oh well."

The woman handed the dragon leather book to Bennett and rolled up a sleeping bag and placed it behind Bennett.

Bennett leaned back, getting comfortable.

"Thank you."

The woman smiled, picked up the child, and said, "Call me if you need anything."

"It's nothing, just do your thing."

The room fell silent again as the woman rocked the sleeping child and Bennett studied the spell he had cast yesterday.

On the other side, the lord's tent.

"We don't have enough food for everyone to return to the territory. I decided to continue attacking Cook Territory and look for food in Cook Territory." The lord's words made everyone present fall into deep thought.

"But what about those pregnant women and mothers? We can't take them to the battlefield." Sera's concern for the lower classes is always on point.

"Kenny will take 100 knights to escort them, and the remaining people will be enough to capture the Cook Territory." The lord announced Kenny's mission. The lord always puts the people's hearts first.

"Father, I want to go to the battlefield, not to escort refugees." Young Kenny still didn't understand his father's painstaking efforts.

"It's an escort, not an escort, and they are our people, Kenny, watch your words, sometimes it's more terrible than war."

Kenny bowed his head again.

Sera didn't care what the lord thought. She thought of Bennett who was lying in bed: "What about Bennett? What about him?"

"We'll rest here for two days. If Bennett gets better, he'll go with us. If he doesn't, he'll evacuate with the women."

The lord had made up his mind, and Sera said no more: "Then I will go first, lord."

The lord waved his hand.

It was sunset when they returned to the tent. Sera was not wearing armor at this time. There were bonfires everywhere in the camp that was built on short notice. The tents were given to mothers and pregnant women to live in. These bonfires were where the soldiers and knights slept at night. This was the lord's order, but the soldiers and knights had no complaints.

These women came to the camp and were responsible for the meals of the soldiers and knights. Although the ingredients were limited, it was better than the big pot meals prepared by the chef. Of course, some women also provided special services, which almost every soldier had enjoyed. The lord also turned a blind eye to these things. It was not a bad thing for women to find someone to rely on.

Lifting the tent curtain, the woman was feeding her child and Bennett was reading a book.

"came back."

The blue light in Bennett's eyes shone on Sera's face. Those eyes were clear, bright and very gentle. Sera was slightly stunned.

"Well, I'm back."
