Grief washed over Si Kai as he watched his soldiers fall one by one. He glanced toward the Shadow Forest, but there was still no sign of movement.
He couldn't for the life of him figure out what Fujero was up to. Based on the route, and with the markers he'd left in the Shadow Forest, it was impossible for Fujero to get lost. He should have arrived in half a day at most, yet there was still no word.
Honestly, he'd never imagined he would die here. He didn't fear death in battle, but he absolutely refused to die in some nameless, insignificant place like this.
His dream was to die in a grand, epic battle, immortalized in the annals of history as a Knight who had slain countless foes with supreme valor.
'Speaking of which, what is Lord Li up to right now?'
For some reason, Si Kai found his thoughts drifting to Levi again. Perhaps he had grown numb from all the killing, letting his mind wander.
