Of course, it was impossible to eat a cow, but half a bag of beef jerky was obviously not a problem.
But it was also shocking enough.
Because the taste of this beef jerky was very bad, there was nothing but a faint salty taste.
Even the three men and Rayen could only 'endure' two pieces of beef jerky after a meal.
However, this weak woman actually ate so much in one go. This was enough to prove how long she had been hungry.
"Eat slowly. Are you in a hurry to die and meet the ancient gods?" Rayen said as he handed over a water bottle.
The woman immediately used her restricted hands to catch it and then guzzled it down.
Looking at the other party's disheveled appearance, Rayen laughed and said, "Hehe, princess? Really? I heard that princesses eat very elegantly. You're not lying to us, right?" In his impression...the so-called princess should be as delicate and pretentious as the one on TV. She even needed four or five servants to serve her for dessert.
However, the person in front of him was quite beautiful, but she looked too embarrassed when she ate.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..." Because the river was too fast, she coughed a few times and said, "Don't compare me to those b*tches in Indigo! I'm an Atlantean! Atlanteans are born warriors!"
Her words made Davis, who was packing his backpack, laugh. "Hahaha...is that so? Then you're too unlike an Atlantean. How can a person who can't even solve the food problem be called a warrior?"
His words seemed to hit the woman's sore spot. She threw the kettle away and immediately argued, "That's because I got lost with the army and lost my supplies! If you have the guts, let me go! We'll fight one-on-one! Taste my fist!"
The three of them burst into laughter at her gentle and feigned fierceness.
Rayen wiped his tears and said, "I think you can't even defeat a monkey. Alright, you'd better behave yourself and tell us your name!"
The woman was so angry that she pouted her lips and looked at Rayen with fire in her eyes. She said in an angry voice, "Do you think you're worthy to know my noble name?"
Rayen could not be bothered to ask anymore since she looked so fierce. Anyway, in the current situation, he did not need to know her name.
As long as he could guarantee that she was not dead when he met their superior, it would be fine.
After that, Rayen ignored the woman and went to pack up the equipment with the other two.
Powell, who was packing up the food, asked, "Brother Rayen, how much can this female captive exchange for us? Do you have 10,000 Empire Dollars?"
Davis almost fell to the ground. He patted the back of Powell's head and scolded jokingly, "Brat! Have you been kicked in the head by a horse? 10,000 Empire Dollars? Even a sergeant has more than that!"
"If this woman is not lying and is really a princess, then we'll just wait to become officials!"
Hearing this, Powell's mouth and eyes widened, and then he continued to ask, "Brother Rayen! Is this true? I can also become an official?"
Rayen tied the bullet bag filled with rifle ammunition to his waist and nodded. "That's just the most basic thing. If this woman is really the princess, the war might stop immediately! Because the Atlantean Kingdom had no choice but to send an envoy to negotiate with our corps leader. This is related to the country, and its influence has far exceeded that of the war." Then...he revealed a smile. "Who knows, even our regiment commander might be promoted by the royal family. As meritorious ministers who captured the princess, we will definitely receive unexpected rewards!"
Thinking of this, the smile on Rayen's face grew even wider. He felt that he was really too lucky!
At the crucial moment of life and death, he had actually received a gift from the God of fate!
Once he handed over this princess, he would definitely become a popular person in the corps, and he would definitely be promoted!
The opportunity to stand out had really come!
However, there was still a limit to his daydreaming. After all, the current situation was not that safe for them.
In order to complete these contributions, they had to find their commanding officer's team.
But now, they did not even have a single clue. It was still uncertain what kind of situation they would encounter next.
Thinking of this, he said to Powell, "Next, you keep an eye on this woman. This is your only mission! Also, we have to save food and bring enough water. Who knows how long we will have to linger in the red sand plains."
Powell nodded. His eyes were as innocent as a child's.
After packing everything, Rayen took the other end of the rope tied to the woman's hands and led the way.
Powell walked beside the female prisoner, keeping an eye on her and providing food and water.
Rayen was responsible for reading the map and leading the way.
Just like that, three recruits and a person suspected of being the Princess of Atlantean continued to walk toward the south under the sun that had just come down.
