The atmosphere in the camp became increasingly tense.
On the one hand, life is really depressing. Since the military bazaar was forcibly closed, the only place for soldiers and knights to entertain themselves is gone. They can only stay in tents all day long, or be sent to the battlefield to fight with machines that have no idea of pain or life and death.
On the other hand, there was a rumor that a knight was killed and his mask taken by a synthetic assassin who infiltrated the city. The synthetic assassin then killed thirteen of his comrades in a row, posing as a knight, before being discovered.
This rumor soon caused panic among the soldiers. Although the knights above repeatedly stressed that it was just a rumor, the blade warriors who were guarding the gates of each checkpoint hinted that similar infiltration incidents had indeed occurred.
Who knows whether the companions who have been with you day and night have been replaced silently by the steel monster
Under such tense pressure, one day in a tent, a soldier had a heated argument with his companion, and ended up pulling out a gun and shooting his companion.
The soldier who killed his comrade without authorization was quickly subdued by the arriving knight and eventually became one of the hanged bodies hanging outside the camp. However, similar incidents continued to occur in other camps.
Most of them were violent expressions of tension and stress, while a few were secretly linked together, directing their grievances and spearheads at the upper-level knights, dukes, and even...
emperor.
However, these things have nothing to do with the Blue Sword Mercenary Group.
While others were sleeping in small, dark and damp tents, unable to fall asleep due to the snoring and grinding of their companions, the girls were sleeping comfortably in the large, comfortable bedrooms of the manor on Hearth Island.
While everyone else was staying in the camp, bored to death, sitting on wooden stakes with their weapons in their arms, staring at the senior knights walking around with gloomy eyes, the girls were planting flowers, practicing martial arts, reading books, or studying the weapons given by the two demigods on the sunny Hearthfire Island.
As a reward for helping to conquer Sarmatia, the Wilderness Bear Mason gave a shield, which was said to be mixed with a material called Chaos Rock. This material from the abyss is a kind of existence between living things and minerals, and can automatically rebound when damaged by external forces.
The reward from the God of War Leopold was a short sword made of green colored glass. This colored glass was not ordinary glass, but was made through special forging technology to form a stress distribution of external pressure and internal tension. Its dense structure was enough to block the frontal impact of bullets, and it was very light in the hand.
These rare weapons made of special materials are indeed a powerful enough help to the Blue Sword team - after all, ordinary steel weapons are too fragile on the battlefield of hot weapons.
The shield was given to Eleanor and the dagger was given to Mia.
"Something is wrong with Ellie recently." Nora said worriedly, "She has been training harder and harder, learning the sword technique almost all the time. Ask..."
"I know," Ask replied. "Have you ever read her mind?"
