Chapter 64: An Idiot
"Rondo!!" Cordak's eyes cracked, and he seemed to have regained some mobility, and the man gritted his teeth and stood up, and then saw Rondo once again be blasted out by Joffrey's fireball technique.
Joffrey knocks Cordak to the ground again with a magic missile, and then he runs to Rondo, kicking the man who tried to get up again.
"Want to run?!Want to stand up?!" Joffrey's eyes were cold, he gritted his teeth and chanted a spell, then slashed off Rondo's right leg with two ice throwing knives.
By now, the man, who had been as strong as an ox a few hours ago, had now lost his left hand and both legs, and had become a complete and veritable cripple.
"No one can resist me!" Joffrey seemed to be spurred on by more blood, and he excitedly licked the blood that splattered the corners of his mouth before chanting the incantation again.
When the turquoise light lit up in Joffrey's hand again, Kordaq felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He's going to kill Rondo! He's going to kill Rondo! He's going to kill his good brother! This time, Joffrey is definitely murderous!
"Wait!" Kordak struggled to his feet, then shouted.
Joffrey was stunned for a moment when he heard Kordak's shout, he kept his spell in a state of readiness, then turned his head and asked, "What?
"Let him go!" Cordak hurriedly said, "As long as you let him go, I will surrender, and I can do it at your disposal." ”
"Really?" said Joffrey, looking a little loose.
"I, Kordak, always walk the talk!" said Kordak.
"Then get down on your knees and beg me!" said Joffrey, in a playful and mocking tone.
"No, boss!" Rondo roared, "Just run! Leave me alone! Don't kneel to this shit! You said we're all old men, we're all men! If you're a man, you won't kneel down such a despicable guy!"
"......" Cordak did not speak, he did not think about dignity, men and the like, he now only wanted to save Rondo. He didn't want him to die, not at all.
The two years of war have tormented this affectionate man, and it feels like a dull serrated blade tearing his heart apart when he sees his good brothers fall on the battlefield one by one.
Some people may be able to get used to the death of the people around them in this endless battle, but Kordak can never get used to it, he can't forget the people he gets along with day and night, he can't forget their looks, he can't forget their looks, he can't forget what they said, he can't forget their laughter. Because Cordak can't forget, and he doesn't dare to forget, if he forgets again, then these people are really gone, there is not even a trace of existence, they obviously gave everything for this empire, for the homeland behind them, if in the end no one even remembers their names, are they dying meaninglessly?
Who is responsible for all this? the enemy, and the Kordak. Because they all acted according to Kordak's orders, if he could have commanded better, would there have been fewer people killed in battle?
So Kordaq desperately wants to do better, which is why he can shine so brightly on the battlefield. Not because he has a shrewdness far beyond ordinary people, nor because he has an extremely strong desire to get ahead. He did so much just to let his brothers die a few less, and to be able to laugh and scold with them for a few more days.
But damn it! What the fuck!! no matter what Kordak did, no matter how good he did, his brothers were still dying one after another. Even Kuroko, who had been by his side and saved his life twice!!, was dead!
But Kordak did not give up because of this, in order to continue to survive in this world, Kordak could only carry these lives - the lives of his own good brothers, and continue to fight. He didn't excuse himself, he didn't make any excuses for the death of those brothers, he just blamed everything on himself, he carried everything, he endured everything, and then he moved on. Yes, Kordak never runs away, he will only bear it, and then carry everything on his back and continue to struggle. This is a real man, and he does what a man should do.
But the more he carried, the deeper the pain, so that even such a true man was afraid to see the death of any of his good brothers. As a result, Kordaq finally found a reason to run away from the army after Vera disappeared. And he broke off the relationship with Regner because he didn't want Ragner to fight for his own affairs and make the two of them ruined together.
However, Kordak still forgot one person - Rondo. He had miscalculated Rondo's loyalty and identification with him, and he had never imagined that this reckless and silly-looking fellow would escape from the army of the Strict and then come running for him like a needle in a haystack. And he found it.
This guy is really so stupid? He would do such an unrealistic thing? He didn't expect it, he didn't think of it!
Rondo is important to him? Of course it matters! Rondo has fought alongside him many times, and in the past two years, they have carried the unconscious opponent out of the encirclement countless times! This is his brother in life and death, a good brother in life and death like Ragner! Therefore, Cordak could not watch Rondo be killed by Joffrey like this. He absolutely did not want such a thing to happen, and at the same time, he could not bear the great pain of losing his brother.
So, when Cordak understood what Joffrey meant, he knelt down without hesitation, and then said sincerely: "I beg you, Your Royal Highness, noble prince, to show your tolerance and generosity, and let this ignorant, reckless, and humble fellow go!"
"Hahahahahahaha!!" Joffrey laughed arrogantly and triumphantly: "Ever since I met you, I've seen your contempt for me, you're like that, that damn Regner is like that, and so is that mean woman from Annelot!!!All of you are like that!But now!You've got down on your knees and pleaded with me in the meanest language!hahahaha!
"Grass and mud horse! Shut up Lao Tzu! Believe it or not, Uncle Rondo cut you down!" Rondo scolded, his struggle like the wriggling of maggots in Joffrey's eyes.
"Please let him go......" Kordak was not angry, and he lowered his head that had always been held high.
"Since you have pleaded with me so much, it is only natural that the Imperial Prince will show his tolerance. Joffrey smiled as he withdrew the foot he had stepped on Rondo.
But just as Kordak breathed a sigh of relief, the next scene pushed him into hell once again.
The turquoise ball of magic light burst in an instant, and the light of the dissociation technique hit Rondo's abdomen directly, and then Joffrey swept up like a stumbling one, and the turquoise light shone on Rondo's chest......
......
To be honest, Rondo didn't have a very good impression of Cordak at first. Although this guy may be a strong man in the eyes of others, he is still a little worse than Rondo. Therefore, Rondo, who has not tried to compare with Kordak, subconsciously feels that he is a weakling, and he does not like weakling. The reason why he went to see Kordaq, and even behaved so enthusiastically and obediently, was simply to obey the orders of Regner, who convinced him.
Even if Kordak later arranged for him the position of squadron leader, it did not make Rondo change his opinion of Kordak. Because Rondo felt that it was Cordak who was deliberately trying to make a fool of him. Because he was the least social member of the team when he first started.
Because of his character, many people call him "a stupid big man with no brains" behind his back. The title stung Rondo, who had been called it when he was an orphan that no one wanted. This title, with a bit of contempt and teasing, made Rondo angry at the time, so he often got into fights with people. Because of this, Rondo has laid a very solid foundation.
He later worked as a coolie, as a bodyguard, as a thug, as a mercenary, and finally as a mercenary. But no matter where he is, others will always talk about his IQ. Feel like he's an idiot who can't think. In fact, Rondo just doesn't like to think, he doesn't think very well, but he is not stupid, and he doesn't like the title of fool even more.
And Kordaq made him a squadron leader?
But what happened next changed Rondo's perspective - he commanded his squadron like a broken can, but Kordaq had been patiently and meticulously teaching him how to lead the team and how to command his men. Despite Rondo's crudeness, Kordak's patience remained the same.
In this way, Rondo gradually realized that this man was different from the others. Others will call him "Squadron Leader" or "Big Brother" on the surface, but behind the scenes they will treat him as an idiot. But Kordak has always put him in only one position, and that is "brother".
This simplicity and sincerity eventually put Rondo to shame, and from that time on, Rondo began to change his name to "Chief" of Kordak. Although his "head" is much smaller than himself, Rondo is very smooth and comfortable.
Later, Cordak defeated Rondo in a hard-fought contest and helped Rondo take a knife on the battlefield. The accumulation of this bit by bit finally made Rondo, a man with a straightforward personality and a short temper, follow Kordak with all his heart.
And Rondo is really not very smart, normal people will know how to be flexible and change. But Rondo doesn't understand, he's the kind of idiot who sees one thing and never looks back. So even if Kordak is ruined, even if Kordak is hunted down by the entire empire. Rondo ran over anyway, not thinking that doing so would end him up in the same fate, nor did he think about how much he could do on his own. He didn't think about it that much, he didn't even think about anything because he was an idiot, and idiots don't think about it that much.
He only knows one thing: if the boss is in trouble, then Rondo should go over and help him!
So he rushed over and was then killed by Joffrey. There was no point in dying except to make Kordak miserable and sad.
What an idiot to do such a senseless thing and then die a senseless death. But there are always such idiots in the world, for a little ridiculous impulse, for those feelings that are not worth mentioning, who waste their lives in vain, and then get nothing.
What a big idiot.
