Kaihos's hand was on Garlan's back, and his fingers were full of wet touch.
The tip of the index finger touched the broken arrow, and the cold arrow was deeply immersed in the flesh.
He looked at Garland.
The face of the prince standing in front of him was abnormally pale at the moment.
Now, Kaihos finally knew that it was not because of excessive physical exertion, but because of the paleness caused by blood loss.
He didn't realize it until now—
"Hall..."
A hand grabbed his wrist firmly, and those burning golden eyes stared at him, forcibly forcing his words back.
Garlan panted slightly, staring at Kaihos.
"Don't say it, Cuajus."
He said, "Say it and it's over."
When the defense line of the city wall of Tozes was on the verge of collapse, it was because of the arrival of the prince that the soldiers guarding Tozes burst into frantic morale and drove the pirates down in one fell swoop.
Now, they are also relying on this momentum to stubbornly resist the attack of the pirates.
Because the prince is here, the soldiers are full of strength.
Garlan, at this moment, he is the irreplaceable belief of the Tozes on the battlefield.
At this moment he stands on the battlefield, like a banner that condenses all the strength of the Tozes.
If once word spreads that he was seriously injured...
Flags are broken, beliefs collapsed.
The morale that has just been raised will collapse immediately, even worse than before, and the defense line of the entire city wall will collapse along with it.
Tozes City really couldn't hold it any longer.
It is because of knowing this that Garlan clenched his teeth decisively and broke the exposed shaft the moment he hit the arrow.
The remaining small section was blocked by the cloak, and the blood that kept oozing out was also covered by the cloak that was stained with the blood of many enemies, making it impossible to see whose blood was on the cloak.
He tried his best to pretend that nothing had happened, and continued to stand on the fierce battlefield.
"…you need treatment."
Kaihos said in a low voice, word for word.
The knight's voice was hoarse at this moment, as if it was forced out from the depths of his throat.
"After the battle is over."
Garland replied.
His hand was still firmly around the knight's wrist.
The young prince raised his head, and at this moment, he and Kaihos looked at each other with toughness.
"Keep fighting, Cayhorth."
"This is my order," he said.
The corners of the one-eyed knight's eyes trembled uncontrollably.
After a while, he withdrew the hand that was on Garlan's back, extremely slowly, extremely difficultly.
His breathing was heavy.
Then, he turned around abruptly, let out a low roar, swung the great sword with both hands, and slashed down heavily.
The big sword slashed the pirate who was charging behind him in two at once.
Kaihos seemed to be venting something, and the handsome face was slightly twisted at the moment, revealing a bit of ruthlessness, and bursting with terrifying power, it was the bunch of pirates who would rush over in an instant. Kill it cleanly.
The knight of the sun stood on the wall, in front of his prince.
The originally bright blond hair had been dyed red with blood, and the blood sprayed on his face flowed down his side cheeks. His face was so gloomy at this moment, his eyes were full of terrifying evil spirits, and he could no longer see it. A little bit of sunshine on the knight called the sun.
On the city walls of Tozes, the tragic war continues.
It is like a greedy meat grinder, endlessly devouring everyone's lives and flesh.
Everyone involved in this war has gone completely crazy.
Either you die or I live.
This is the portrait of the battlefield.
Perhaps because he couldn't bear to witness this battlefield covered in flesh and blood, the sun did not know when to hide into the clouds, concealing his figure, and the sky darkened.
Not long after, the drizzle fell sparsely again.
The dry blood on the city wall was washed away, and the blood mixed with the rainwater and flowed to the ground, converging into puddles of black-red water, soaking the corpses.
Amid the rustling rain, night fell on the third day.
The pirates who had been unable to attack for a long time had no choice but to retreat slowly in the sound of the horn.
Killing the last pirate in front of him, Kaihos turned back.
Garlan was still standing there, standing on the city wall, standing in the sight of everyone.
Even in the dark of night, his wet blond hair reflected the lights, shining brightly.
He just stood there and let everyone's eyes fall on him.
As long as the prince is still standing on the city wall, they won't take a step back!
Everyone swore so in their hearts.
They could only see the prince's straight figure from a distance, and his bright blond hair.
Only the one-eyed knight standing beside Garlan could clearly see the pale face of the boy, and his lips that were almost invisible.
There are still bite wounds on that lip, which are the wounds bitten by the young man who tried his best to stand on this battlefield.
Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Kaihos took a deep breath. He didn't say anything, just made a polite gesture.
He bowed slightly and stretched out his hand in front of Garlan.
The boy with pale lips raised his eyes and glanced at him, then raised his hand and placed it on the palm of Kaihos.
The one-eyed knight maintained this 'virtual support' of his prince's etiquette, accompanied the prince and walked forward together, slowly walking down the city wall.
The right hand he was holding was stably in mid-air, motionless, as if the hand had not been subjected to the slightest force.
… 'virtual support'.
Yes, it seems so.
But only the two parties knew that Garland's hand was on Kaihos's hand, and he almost supported most of his body's strength on that hand, so that he could walk calmly and calmly under everyone's attention. Down the city wall.
…
As soon as he returned to the executive government's room, as soon as the door was closed, Kaihos immediately stretched out his hand and hugged Garlan.
The bloodstained cloak was torn off and thrown to the ground.
Garlan, who was carried into the bed in three steps by Kaihos, was lying on the bed, and his clothes were soaked into blood red on his back.
scoff.
The blood-red clothes were torn open, and a broken arrow was stuck in the boy's pale back.
The tip of the arrow sank close to the scapula.
Kaijos looked at the broken arrow solemnly, and pressed his finger lightly near the tip of the arrow. The pale back under his fingertips immediately followed and trembled.
The tip of the arrow has a tearing effect. Once it is forcibly pulled out, a large blood hole will be torn open on the back, and the blood will immediately spurt out like a spring, causing people to temporarily lose their mobility. If the bleeding is not stopped in time, it will cause people to die due to excessive blood loss.
That's why Garlan just broke the shaft of the arrow and didn't pull it out.
Kaihos pulled out the personal dagger from his waist that he had not used today, and baked the blade on the candle fire for a while.
Then, he leaned over, put one hand on Garlan's back, held the dagger in the other, and used the tip of the sword to cut away the flesh at the point of the arrow.
The arrows had been pierced into the flesh for too long, and some flesh had crusted over there, melting the arrows into it.
The scabbed skin must be reopened.
As the sharp point of the sword cut through the skin and flesh a little bit, Gallan's pale back, which was being held down by Kaihos, kept shaking.
His fingers clenched tightly against the quilt, his knuckles turning white.
Cayhorth put down the dagger, and he said, "Prince, find something to bite into."
Garlan took a deep breath and bit the pillow hard with his mouth open.
Caijos still had one hand on his back, the other holding the Broken Arrow.
Then, with a hard pull—
"!!!"
The golden pupils contracted violently.
The broken arrow was forcibly pulled out of the flesh and blood, and the diamond-shaped arrow tip suddenly tore the skin, and the blood spurted from the wound splashed onto Kaihos's side cheeks, and even more sprinkled on the back of the boy's tensed to the extreme. on the back.
The taut shoulders made the butterfly bones on his back stand out deeply, like the broken wings of a butterfly.
The bright red splash of blood on the back made the skin on the boy's back pale and almost translucent, which made people feel shocking at a glance.
Cayhors kept his hands, and quickly applied a hemostatic drug to the wound, then wrapped it tightly with a bandage.
After he had done all this, he looked up and found that Garlan had been completely silent. It turned out that he had passed out when he was drawing the arrow.
In the silent night, the room was silent, only the sound of light breathing could be heard.
The teenager leaned over on the bed, his long blond hair spread out on the snow-white bed.
A thin layer of fine sweat oozes from the back of his slender neck.
The half of his face sank deep into the soft pillow, and the half of his pale face that was exposed was barely bloody.
He closed his eyes, his slender eyelashes drooped down, and there was still a little drop of water left at the end, which trembled lightly, as if it was too fragile to bear any more weight.
Kaihos stood by the bed and looked at Garlan, who had fallen into a coma.
The blond hair stained with blood was scattered messily in front of his eyes, making it impossible to see the look on his face at the moment.
But he could see his hands hanging by his side, clenched into fists.
On the clenched fist, the veins on the back of the hand burst out.
Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door from outside, and the sound woke the knight in silence. He turned his head and glanced, and after putting a thin blanket over Garlan's body, he turned around and tried his best to do as much as possible. He walked out of the room gently and quickly.
Outside the door is his personal guard, telling him that Seth and other generals have come to the hall downstairs and are counting today's battle losses, and invite him and His Royal Highness to go there.
"The prince is too tired and is resting. I'll just go."
Several personal guards were ordered to stand at the door and in the hallway, and no one was allowed into the room, Kejos said.
After instructing him, he turned around and walked quickly towards the hall.
In the quiet room, there was only a slight sound of breathing.
I don't know how long it took, the sky outside was completely dark, gloomy, the lights in the room were still on, the windows were closed, and the rain hit the windows. ,getting bigger.
Bean-sized raindrops fell, making a loud knocking sound.
The drowsy boy was awakened by the sound of violent rain. He still kept his posture on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.
A blush appeared on his pale face, but his lips were still bloodless and a little chapped.
water…
He thought unconsciously.
Looking around slowly, his eyes fell on the glass kettle on the table on the side of the room. The clear water inside made his throat squirmed slightly.
His throat was so dry it looked like it was about to split.
Garlan got up, endured the severe pain that was almost spasmodic on his back, got out of bed, and walked towards the desk.
I don't know if it was because of excessive blood loss, his hands and feet were a little weak.
Moreover, when he stood up, his mind was also very dizzy, and the kettle not far away was double-imaged in his sight for a few seconds.
…
The body is very hot, as if there is a feeling that the whole person is being burned in the fire.
His breathing was so rapid, but even the breath he exhaled was hot, making him dizzy.
He took a few steps forward again, and suddenly his eyes went black, his feet went soft, and he fell on the wooden floor with a loud bang.
"prince?!"
The door was slammed open, and just after the conversation with Seth and other generals was over, Kaihos rushed in anxiously, thinking about Garlan's rush back.
He raised his foot and wanted to run towards the fallen boy, but just after taking a step, he suddenly remembered something, turned around and closed the door, and then hurried to pick up Garlan.
As soon as his hand touched Garlan, the expression on Kaihos' face changed.
So hot!
Garlan closed his eyes, lying weakly in his arms, his clearly pale face showed an abnormal blush at the moment, fine sweat kept seeping from his hot forehead, and the wet blonde hair was sticking to him. 's cheek.
The bloodless lips were slightly open, the breath was short, and the lips seemed to be very dry.
Kaihos's heart froze.
He was injured by an arrow but was not treated in time.
The wounded body continued to forcibly fight.
Afterwards, it was raining and soaking wet.
It is very likely that the wound is also soaked, causing the invasion of evil energy and inflammation.
The resulting chain reaction finally made this overwhelmed body burn.
... And it's not just an ordinary fever. The degree of the skin's scalding heat, this kind of heat, is already very serious.
no!
Even at the risk that the prince's injury might be leaked, he had to bring the doctor over immediately.
The knight thought so and put Garlan back on the bed. He had just let go, and before he had time to straighten up, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and someone hurried over and knocked heavily on the door.
"His Royal Highness Garland! Lord Kaihos!"
The people outside the door shouted anxiously.
"The pirates launched a night attack—"
Kaihos took a breath, and the next second, a monstrous anger swept from the depths of his body.
The suffocation all over his body radiated out.
At this moment, the anger raged like a storm, and the knight was extremely angry.
Those pirates are so deceiving!
In the only remaining eye of the knight, the killing intent was overwhelming.
And the next second, the thought of 'I can't let the prince know' immediately popped into his mind, and he shouted to the people outside the door to shut up.
Then, get up and plan to leave.
However, just as he was about to get up, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm.
Reflecting the light, the back of the hand was pale and almost transparent, but the fingers clasped his arm tightly.
As soon as his heart tightened, Kaihos lowered his head and saw that Garlan's eyes that were closed just now slowly opened.
Under the slender eyelashes, a golden light shines through.
The teenager grabbed his arm, lowered his eyes, panted sharply, and made a weak but firm voice.
"Kaijos, help me change."
Kaihos paused for a breath, then gritted his teeth.
"No, Your Highness, your current physical condition makes it impossible to do anything."
He said, "Please rest here and leave the rest to us."
"Cajus..."
Garland's voice was weak.
"Prince, you can't stand up at all now! How can you still stand on the battlefield?"
The feeling that was burning to death in his heart made the knight uncontrollably forget his respectability at this moment, and roared at Gallan in a disrespectful tone that almost reprimanded him.
"When did you suffer like this since you were a child? Even if you were on the battlefield, you wouldn't be able to last!"
Eyelashes lifted, golden eyes glanced at Kaihos.
"…I can hold on."
The boy said so.
The abnormal crimson on his face seemed to be burning a little bit of crimson flame that devoured his vitality.
His lips were shockingly pale.
But the eyes he looked at Kaihos were more calm and calm than anything else.
Is there anything in this world that can be more painful than death
Resisting the feeling that his body was scorching hot, and the pain of tearing on his back, Gallan gritted his teeth and propped up his weak body.
He knew he could hold on.
It's not that he hasn't suffered.
He died four times.
So, at this moment, this little pain is nothing to him.
