The exhausted soldiers threw themselves to the ground, dropping their weapons along with them, a sigh of relief overwhelming them.
Captain Huo still stood admiring his camp, which was largely destroyed and full of corpses of soldiers.
Xue dropped to her knees, she could not believe that she killed someone for the first time, she looked at her hands full of blisters and blood, she turned to see the sky that was tinged with orange by the dawn of dawn and the tears began to flow without control.
Qing Yu on the other hand seemed to be analyzing what had happened, she looked at all the dreams above.
"Qing, are you okay?"
"Yes captain"
The captain turned her back to where Qing Yu was looking. "What are you looking at?"
"I think we have not had so many casualties for the short period of time that they have been part of the army"
"You're right, but these soldiers were about to give up"
"The battle seemed lost, but suddenly they were filled with energy and the battle changed its course"
Captain Huo unconsciously began searching for Xue in the middle of the crowd.
"What are you looking for captain?"
"That girl you brought here"
"Little Xue?"
"Yes, I lost sight of her during the battle"
"How did you lose sight of her? She wasn't hurt? Do you know that she could be dead?"
Captain Huo laughed "dead? I think you're very overprotective with her?"
"Over protective? She's only 8 years old!"
"You are very naive"
"Why does it say that captain?"
"she wouldn't die so easily"
"She alone is eight years old and she says that she would not die so easily on a battlefield?"
Xue was walking in the center of what was the battlefield still on her knees looking at the sky but the tears were no longer flowing, she simply saw the sky smiling "Mom, Dad, I'm fine, you can rest"
She got up and instinctively tried to wipe the dirt off her face.
"Little Xue!"
Xue turned to see who was calling her, to her surprise it was Qing Yu standing next to Captain Huo who smiled when he saw her get up "come"
Xue advanced in the middle of the soldiers and when she arrived she bowed "yes captain"
"are you OK?"
Qing Yu did not notice from a distance that Xue's clothes were soaked in blood and where she had received the arrow she had fresh blood.
Qing Yu couldn't help screaming "what happened to you? You don't know that the wound doesn't heal? Besides, where were you? We were looking for you"
Xue was confused "Captain didn't tell you?"
They both turned to see Captain Huo. "I told him that you wouldn't die so easily, wasn't it enough?"
Xue let out a laugh that would unknowingly make all the soldiers laugh "Captain I'm afraid that may not be clear"
The soldiers had stopped laughing and it seemed that they were more relaxed
Xue turned to see Qing Yu "an apology for worrying him, however, as the Captain told him I will not be easy to kill"
Qing Yu scanned little Xue from head to toe "Little Xue, then why are you covered in blood? Isn't it yours?"
Xue smiled and turned to see "Little Xue?"
"Aren't you?"
"It's not that, I just consider that he also looks very young, Sub-Captain Yu"
Captain Huo couldn't laugh but Qing Yu nudged him and stopped laughing "Thank you, but I'm 15 I'm already an adult, not like you"
Xue frowned "Forgive the offense, but I consider it inappropriate to think that for only being 7 years old I am unable to fight on my own."
The soldiers around, the captain and the sub-captain froze for a moment before shouting in unison "Are you only 7 years old? !!!"
The other soldiers turned around instantly upon hearing the news, a soldier was heard shouting "That girl has more b**** than several of our soldiers"
Another said "and to think that a girl would give us so much value yesterday"
Another soldier shout "who would believe that that girl yesterday was walking in the center of the field as if she were used to it"
The others were shouting things but Qing Yu had frozen before shouting "like in the middle of the battlefield?"
