The Awakening of Cannon Fodder

The Blood Moon Forest is located on the east side of the entire continent, forming a natural barrier, isolating the easternmost part of the land that protrudes to the sea on three sides from the entire continent.

This is where the Principality of Maurice is located.

For most people on the main road, the Blood Moon Forest is a forbidden area, but for the Principality of Morris, it is actually a natural protection line.Even the best magic saints and war gods can't go deep into the Blood Moon Forest, so going from the mainland to the Principality of Morris often requires a long detour along the flat land near the coastline.

Therefore, although the people of the Principality of Morris are taboo towards the Blood Moon Forest, they have a good impression of it.According to local stories, there is an unknown deity living in the Blood Moon Forest. As long as they maintain enough awe and do not offend, the deity will bless them.

Especially the town of Pease, which is the closest to the Blood Moon Forest, has the most legends, and the common people believe in it. Some families even pay homage to this god every festival.

The old John's family living in the east of the town is such a family.

Every morning, after the hostesses finished preparing breakfast, Old John would pick out the best part of it, hold it in his hand, and walk out of the town to the border of the Bloodmoon Forest.There is a very flat white boulder, where Old John put his tribute, and then Shi Shiran went home for breakfast.When the meal is over, there are only empty plates left.

Although the people in the town, including the children of Old John's family, believed that it was only the animals in the forest that ate the food on the plate, Old John never stopped this behavior of "sacrificing".

This morning, as usual, Old John came to the edge of the forest with a plate of food.But as soon as the food was put down, a loud movement was heard in the forest ahead.

Although he has been offering sacrifices to this god, Old John never dared to spy on the Blood Moon Forest.Those young people in the small town who ventured into the forest out of curiosity and never came back have given enough lessons.

So upon hearing this movement, Old John turned around and ran away without even thinking about it.

Regardless of his age, his grandson is already ten years old. At critical moments, his legs and feet are still very agile, and he runs extremely vigorously, and his speed is not slow at all.

It wasn't until he ran back to his yard and felt safe that Old John looked back in the direction of the Blood Moon Forest with lingering fear.According to his decades of experience, although there are occasional changes in the forest, they never affect places outside the forest.Now this distance will definitely not be affected.

However, upon seeing this, Old John was taken aback.

Someone actually came out of the Blood Moon Forest!

Although the four people looked very embarrassed, their armor was damaged, and it was stained with blood and stains, but it could still be seen that it was the standard armor of the noble knights.And even though they were in poor condition, there was a hill-like corpse of a high-level monster behind them.Thinking about the big commotion before, it should be because of this.

Old John felt that he would never forget this scene for the rest of his life.

He was so shocked that he stood there, unable to speak or react, until the group of four dragged the monster out of the forest, walked towards the town, and reached the door of his house.

"Hello, is this the small town of Pease in the Principality of Morris?" The knight walking in front took off his helmet and asked, only then did Old John realize that this was a young and beautiful girl.But her aura made people dare not underestimate her. After being swept away by her gaze, Old John nodded quickly, "Yes, my lord. This is the small town of Pease."

The head guard standing behind Catherine took a step forward and introduced, "We are from the Kingdom of Felt. This is Princess Catherine of the Kingdom, the niece of Grand Duke Maurice."

Old John was dumbfounded.

The news of Grand Duke Maurice's death in battle has spread throughout the Principality. He left no heirs, and the news that his sister's child who married into the Kingdom of Felt will be the next Grand Duke has naturally spread.But for the people in the border town, these have nothing to do with them.But now, the legendary figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Annie, Annie!" Old John finally came to his senses, calling out to his wife as if someone had stepped on his tail, "Come out, the Grand Duke is here!"

"What are you shouting for?" The hostess with a straightforward and unrestrained personality came out of the house and asked loudly.

Old John quickly introduced Catherine's identity again.Annie was also stunned, but she quickly came back to her senses, walked quickly to the door, and greeted enthusiastically, "My God, Vera! It's amazing that you have passed through the Blood Moon Forest! Please come in for a while." Take a break, wash off the wind and dust, and then taste the delicious food in the town. Don't worry, it's safe here."

Catherine hesitated.Even with He Yu's escort, she would not help except to ensure that they would not encounter danger, so this journey was also very difficult.Both Catherine and the three guards are at the end of their strength and need to rest urgently.

Seeing her looking over, the reliable chief guard immediately nodded and said, "Your Highness, please rest here for a while. After dinner, I will send someone to notify the nobles in the castle to come and greet her."

As a princess and the future heir to the duke, after entering the Duchy of Morris, everything must go according to the procedure.

Catherine nodded, and then followed Mrs. Anne into the house.

After taking a shower and changing into the light clothes that Annie found, Catherine sat down and enjoyed a seafood-flavored breakfast, and then was arranged to rest in her room.

She fell asleep almost as soon as she touched the pillow.

During this period of time in the forest, she also rested every day, but she subconsciously knew that there would be dangers around her, and her spirit was tense. Naturally, she could not sleep well and often woke up.Now that they left the forest, although the beds in common people's houses were not luxurious, they were more comfortable than the forest floor. Catherine slept very deeply this time, and when she woke up, it was already dark.

She suddenly sat up from the bed, only to realize that every part of her body was extremely sore.That is the aftereffect of the body being used to the extreme and suddenly relaxed.

Hearing the movement, Mrs. Anne came in, "His Royal Highness is awake? Baron Yarrow is waiting outside to be summoned."

Catherine cheered up immediately when she heard the words, and asked while getting dressed, "How long has the baron been here, why hasn't anyone called me?"

"Your Excellency the Baron knows that Her Highness the Princess is resting, so don't let anyone disturb you." Madam Anne smiled, "The news that Her Royal Highness led the guards through the Blood Moon Forest and killed a high-level monster has spread throughout the town. Leave now After leaving the forest, of course we need to rest for a while.”

In fact, the whole town had been there while Catherine was asleep.It didn't matter if they couldn't see Catherine. They stood in the courtyard of Old John's house, admiring the three magical beasts that almost occupied the courtyard, and they were satisfied.Baron Yarrow stayed in order to take Catherine to settle in his castle.

When Catherine heard this, she immediately understood the reason why the chief guard didn't wake her up immediately.It was indeed a good night's sleep, but that's all.After going to Baron Yarrow's castle, it was tantamount to entering the sight of all the nobles in the Principality. She had to be Princess Catherine again, and she couldn't do whatever she wanted like now.

After fastening her belt, Catherine took a deep breath and walked out.

At the suggestion of Baron Yarrow, they moved into the castle in the center of Pease town that day.After Catherine moved in, Baron Yarrow's letters were sent out one after another.

The Principality of Morris is not very large. It only takes three or four days to travel from the small town of Pease to Morris City, where the Duke's residence is located.

In these three or four days, Princess Catherine led several guards across the Blood Moon Forest to the Principality of Morris, and the news that they brought three high-level monster corpses has spread throughout the Principality.

No matter how she did it, at least the strength she showed is enough to convince some people.So the nobles, who had been on the sidelines after the death of the previous Grand Duke, took action one after another.Some took the initiative to rush to the small town of Pease to meet her, while others were ready to meet her in Morris City.

Six days later, the people sent by the Duke's Mansion to welcome her arrived in the small town of Pease.

In order to maintain his relationship with her, Lord Yarrow added several servants and a bodyguard to Catherine, making her honor guard look less shabby.In addition, there were quite a few people sent by the Duke's Mansion, so no one noticed that there were two more people quietly added to Catherine's team.

Yes, two.

He Yu still couldn't recover until now.

She was going to go back to find Jiang Jiang after sending Catherine out of the forest, but she didn't expect that after returning, she found that the life door was closed and she could no longer enter that independent space.

Fortunately, the connection with Jiang Jiang is still there, and there is no problem with the other party's state. He Yu guessed that something happened suddenly, so she didn't even have time to notify herself, so she could only stay in the forest and wait for her. Finish.

This wait is five days.

The fifth night happened to be a full moon, and under the reflection of the moonlight, the red mist floating in the Blood Moon Forest became thicker.And the red mist has been fluctuating, as if something terrible is brewing in the depths.

The familiar aura was getting stronger and stronger, and He Yu almost thought that Jiang Jiang was about to break through the seal and appear.However, when it reached the strongest point, just before it exploded, the powerful fluctuation suddenly disappeared.

The original clear sensation suddenly disappeared, but before He Yu could react, the seed that Jiang Jiang gave her earlier flew out by itself, suspended in the air.The surrounding red mist rolled back, and the seed continued to swell, and finally broke open and sprouted.Then the buds grew up against the wind, growing to a height of several meters almost in an instant, and formed a huge flower bud.The calyx leaves split and the petals open to reveal the inside.

What is hidden in it is not a stamen, but a sleeping person.

The face is still the one He Yu is familiar with, but Jiang Jiang's temperament has changed drastically. It is no longer bewitching and mysterious, but full of freshness and vitality. Even the hair covering the whole body has become thick and thick. dark green.
