In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

She doesn't know how to comfort people, but she knows that just squatting in the corner and crying will push people to extremes step by step... Even if it is something irrational like revenge, it is still a thing, at least it can make the girl forget the pain temporarily and have her own goals.

She quietly looked at the confused girl and slowly stroked her back.

After being stiff for a while, the girl silently relaxed her inner discomfort and lowered her head.

Beside, a bonfire crackled.

"Are you...trying to comfort me?"

"I'm not a comforter, girl."

"...Do you think I should take revenge?"

"It's not for me to tell you that."

"When will this war end?"

"The winner decides when it's over."

"Are the Sarkaz really evil?"

"I don't think so..."

In the dark night, by the campfire.

The girl asked Maria various questions one after another as if she was escaping from reality.

Maria also showed her rare tenderness to this girl who had nothing.

She was not annoyed by the girl's questions, she just used her own thinking to answer her questions one by one.

The two voices, one big and one small, lingered quietly in the night sky until the girl could no longer hold on and fell asleep on Maria's lap, exhausted.

She looked very mature and didn't move around in her sleep, but occasionally a trace of sadness would appear on her face that didn't belong to her age.

Maria stroked the girl's hair, looked at her dirty little face, lowered her eyes a few times, and then raised her head silently.

“Heh~heh~”

The ancient nursery rhyme is slowly swaying beside the bonfire...

Chapter 257: Those who refuse to obey can come forward!

The next day, early in the morning.

Odena slowly climbed up from the warm embrace.

She hadn't had such a good sleep in a long time.

In that gentle embrace, she didn't have to worry about the howling at night, nor did she have to worry about when the enemy would attack without her knowing. She only needed to relax herself to gain that unimaginable sense of security.

Someone is holding me and comforting me...

"you're awake?"

Maria was still sitting by the bonfire... The bonfire was still bright at this time, and she sat by the edge, holding the girl with one hand, her face calm.

Sitting in meditation for a whole night was no big deal for her, and she did not move from her position from beginning to end.

"Yes…thank you, ma'am."

After Odena woke up, her face was slightly red, but she still expressed her gratitude to Maria politely, and then raised her head with some worry.

"Do you need to go and rest for a while?"

"No, girl."

Maria shook her head, rejected the girl's kindness, and looked around again.

At this time, many people around them also woke up.

They walked quietly among the tents, each with a worried look on their face.

This war is too cruel for ordinary people like them who just want to survive.

"What are your plans next?"

Maria asked.

After hearing Maria's words, the girl pondered for a moment and then shook her head helplessly.

"I do not know."

"Ok?"

"The royal court urged us before that war was about to come and we needed to migrate, but other than that, we didn't know anything else." Odena said, her eyes slightly lowered.

It is called migration, but in fact everyone understands that this is only a temporary solution.

No one knows how long this war will last... just like no one knows why this war broke out again.

There are all kinds of possibilities...but these are too far away for them.

They don’t know what they will do in the future. Now they can only walk slowly step by step and seek their own peace in this world.

Just like this migration...

"is that so."

Maria was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

The girl noticed that Maria was a little unhappy about this matter, and she also pulled a face and smiled gently.

"But even so, everyone is still working hard..."

"And I heard that this time, the Demon King will also go to the battle himself. Perhaps... this war will end soon."

The girl smiled, a very innocent smile.

For a child of her age, there are too many things in this world that she cannot understand... The ever-present danger makes her use all her strength just to take care of what she already has.

She couldn't even understand what it meant for a country's leader to personally lead the troops into battle.

Maria also lowered her eyes and didn't say much.

After resting for a while, the two people, one big and one small, slowly got up and prepared to go to the tent to wake up Huafalin, pack up, and continue to move forward with the main group.

"Ms. Warfarin, it's time to get up."

The little girl carefully lifted the tent curtain and called out to the woman, and Maria followed her inside.

But when she entered the tent, the girl was stunned.

There was no one in this quiet tent.

And right behind the tent, there was a huge gap!

"This……"

Odena stared blankly with her eyes wide open.

Maria just whispered.

"She was taken away."

"Eh?"

Maria walked forward slowly, reached out and touched the slightly messy soil on the ground, then narrowed her eyes slightly.

It's not over yet...

……

"You bastards, is this all you can do? If you have the guts, put me down. I'll... wuwuwu..."

The angry blood demon was tied to a pillar, roaring wildly.

Although she was surrounded by Sarkaz warriors who were far more powerful than her, she did not show any fear at all, but instead cursed arrogantly.

The blood-red eyes make people feel creepy.

Perhaps because they couldn't bear to hear the other party continue shouting and yelling, this group of people didn't bother to talk to Huafalin anymore and just stuffed a rag into her mouth to make her shut up.

When the surroundings really quieted down, they shook their heads helplessly and looked at each other.

Soon, they called over a companion with a bandage on his head.

"Is it her?"

The leading man pointed at Huafalin beside him and asked her.

"Yes, she was the woman's companion. I saw them appear together."

The injured man had a sinister look on his face and spoke with a hint of trepidation.

And that's why Huafalin noticed the other person... The iconic crack on the side of his face reminded her who this guy was.

This made her look even more contemptuous.

Yesterday, Maria chased him away like a beaten dog, and he didn't dare to say a word. Now he is calling people to come and take revenge, and he is doing it secretly.

Shame!

But obviously, the other party didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions.

He just gave Huafalin a vicious look and then turned to look at his boss.

"That guy is very powerful, but he's probably not from the Royal Guard... And she's also helping that clan. She's probably some wandering ranger..."

"Ranger?" The leading man couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

"There are no rangers in this era..."

"Since she's not from the Royal Court Guard, that's easy. Go gather the other teams and have them send some people over with weapons."

"Yes!"

The men quickly dispersed.

Soon, a large group of young people who looked like they still had some strength were brought over.

Everyone held a simple spear in their hands as a weapon, and they were trembling with fear in front of each other.

Behind them, more team members who were worried about them were hiding carefully.

They didn't know why these soldiers were warning their companions, but out of concern, they still plucked up the courage and sneaked over to take a look.

The leading man did not stop these people.

He glanced at the young people present, then reached out and patted one of them on the shoulder.

"Looks pretty good."

"Forehead……"

The young man didn't know what to say in response, but the man simply turned away and continued talking.

"I think you must be wondering why you were summoned here... Are you being sent to the battlefield to die..."

"I want to tell you, no, I asked you to come here as an invitation... an invitation for you to join us in dealing with the traitor!"

At the end of the man's words, he deliberately emphasized the word "traitor" and his eyes were full of ferocity.

The people around just looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

They were suddenly called up without being told what they were doing, which in itself made them a little confused.

And now they heard that it was about dealing with a traitor... This made them even more overwhelmed.

Now, there are more than a dozen royal vassals or other village groups, large and small, evacuating together with this group of Sarkaz soldiers.

Many of the villages and vassals have inseparable connections... In this critical moment, everyone is united in escaping. Although they are not dependent on each other for life and death, everyone understands that they cannot lose each other.

Only by uniting together, the coalition soldiers would consider the difference in numbers and not dare to attack rashly.

How could a traitor appear in this situation?

The man also expected this to happen.

He didn't explain anything, just patted their shoulders.

"The traitors will be here soon... You just need to do what you are supposed to do, and leave the rest to us."

His words were calm, but everyone present had a sense of foreboding.

Even faster, Odena led a large group of people towards this side.
