Mount and Blade

.........

It was still dark, but Green had already woken up. It was better to say that the trial had just ended, and Guts was still sleeping. He quietly got up, dressed, and packed his bag.

Although he had suppressed the rustling sound to a minimum, Guts still woke up. After all, he had been in the army in the chaotic era since he was born, so he was still very alert. Under normal circumstances, he slept very lightly and did not sleep very deeply.

"...Are you leaving?"

Guts' eyes flashed a moment of haziness, and then he remembered what happened last night, and got up to put on his clothes to see Green off.

Green listened to the sound of him getting up, pretending to rummage through his luggage, and with a thought, two large pieces of dried meat appeared in his hand, ready to throw them on Guts' bed.

"Catch it!" Green threw the dried meat into Guts' arms.

"?!" Guts caught it subconsciously as soon as he put on his shirt.

"Where did you get it?" The dried meat was of good quality and large in quantity. If he ate it sparingly, it should be enough for a long time.

"Of course it's spoils of war!"

"Then why haven't I seen it?"

"Of course I hid it secretly. Keep it well. When I'm not here, in case the army's food is not enough."

"Hmm?" Gus was a little confused. He seemed to have never seen his brother hide anything, but he could always get two pieces of food when he encountered difficulties.

"You should take it with you. We still have a long way to go."

"No need. I still have a lot here. I can't take those." Green had just packed the package. The two of them didn't have too many personal items, only some food. The package of food looked heavy. He smiled and took it up to show Gus.

"Well...your sword." Gus put on his clothes and handed Green the sword with a heavy heart.

Green had packed everything. Looking at the depressed Gus, he took the sword he handed to him.

"Okay, after you finish eating your dried meat, I should be back." Green opened his arms and smiled, as if this was just an ordinary thing.

Gus walked over and hugged him. Green was now half a head taller than Gus. Gus buried his head in Green's shoulder and gave him a deep hug. Although there was still some smell of sweat on his clothes, it was also the smell of family.

"Be careful on the road. If possible, remember to send me a letter! If the situation is not right, you must run back quickly!! I will ask about your whereabouts."

Green also hugged back.

"Of course, it will be fine. Don't worry. Even if I'm not here, you must take care of yourself, Gus."

"Really, what do you mean you're not here? You must come back! I will wait for you!!" Gus frowned a little unhappy.

Tap tap tap, footsteps came from outside the tent, and there seemed to be the sound of horses in the distance.

"Hey! Green, get ready to go." Gambino pulled up the curtain of the tent.

"Hurry up and say goodbye, don't let them wait too long." Seeing that the two brothers were still saying goodbye, Gambino just urged them and left.

"Hmm..." The two brothers glanced at Gambino. Green watched Gambino's back go away, and suddenly remembered the conversation between Guts and Casca, and suddenly wanted to say something to Guts.

"Guts, when you were nine years old..."

Bang! ! It seemed that something in my head was about to break, and the string was tightened tightly, as if pulling my soul. My mouth was open as if I couldn't speak. An indescribable fear filled my heart. It seemed that in the near future, a bull-headed monster would grab my head and explode it, and it would say "Found it, a person from another world."

Those seemed to be what would happen when I said it out loud! !

[Warning! Warning! Dangerous remarks of the host are detected. If you change the original plot directly, you will be directly wiped out by this world! ! ! ]

[Please stop immediately! ! 】

It was as if he was instantly placed back in the endless dark void. Endless loneliness and fear eroded Green. In an instant, he seemed to fall into the realm of trial, and in an instant, he seemed to return to his body that was struck by lightning, but it seemed that he was pushed into the operating room by a group of medical staff? In an instant, he seemed to still exist in this world. The heat of the sun could not warm Green, whose body was cold.

"Huh? Green?" Gus didn't notice what Green said at all. He thought Green was about to leave. He looked up at him slightly and pulled his hand to prepare to leave the tent.

"! Why are your hands so cold? Green." The temperature of his hand scared Gus.

Consciousness returned, as if the wandering soul had returned to the body again, and the temperature instantly returned to normal. The temperature of the sun shining on his body was still warm. Green, who reacted, broke out in a cold sweat. It was so dangerous!

"Nothing..." Green could only try to calm himself down. Gus thought Green was just a little nervous because he was going out for the first time, and shook Green's hand.

"Relax, be careful on the road."

The two left the tent together.

Several tall horses, armored cavalrymen, and several black-robed men of different shapes in the middle, who should be the main spies of this mission.

Looking at the crowd in the distance, although Green was still a little scared, he had to remind Gus.

"Gus, don't trust Gambino too much." Green said, and the two had already walked to the team. Gambino just came out of his tent to get something for Green.

"Hmph, little lazy kid, there's nothing to get you, keep this dagger for self-defense."

Gambino handed Green a sharp dagger, which looked about 20 cm long and was very handy in the child's hand.

"... and this." Gambino hesitated for a moment and threw a small bag to Green.

"It's money for the journey. If you encounter any difficulties, you can use it to find us. Don't die in a muddle, kid!"

Green took it and weighed it. The weight was really rare. Gambino was generous.

"Thanks, Gambino."

"Humph."

"Okay, it's almost time to set off. Come on, kid, my horse will take you." A man in a black robe spoke. There were two children of different ages in the team. The youngest still had some confusion in his eyes, and the older one seemed to know what was waiting for him. He looked a little mentally ill.

Gus heard Green's words, but before he could think too much, Green got on the horse and was about to set off.

"Green! Be careful on the road, I'll wait for you to come back!!"

Green on the horse looked back, and the little Gus was almost shouting and waving to him.

"Okay! You should take good care of yourself, Gus!!" Green also responded and waved.

Such a scene made Green determined that if he was still alive, he would definitely come back, even though everything would have changed.

"Hmph! Don't die, kid."

Gambino left the last words for Green, and turned away on his own. Maybe he didn't want to see such a scene, or maybe he was just used to avoiding some things.

"Goodbye! Gambino! My father..." Although the last sentence was not said loudly, it was enough. I hope that if one day the father and son really turned against each other, Gambino would not do such an outrageous thing because of this father.

Gambino's figure was obviously shaken, but he just turned back and watched Green for a while, without waving. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment, maybe he would really change.

.........

The sky gradually turned white, and the sun had already risen more than half of its head. The boy from another world carried his bag and set foot on the distance for the first time. The golden-red Overlord Egg on his chest flashed a dazzling light in the sun.
