Chapter Seventy-Four: Little Pebble's Courage

"!!" Alpacino was shocked, and he still wanted to chase after him, why can't this group of guys give up?

What now?What now?What now?The Stoke Empire soldiers who left in the wrong direction they pointed out can be left alone, but what about those who continue to follow the same path? At this rate, they will most likely catch up with Erin!

What should we do? Is it impossible to point in the wrong direction now? Then they will surely suspect themselves, and I am afraid that things will become more troublesome!

Seeing that the pursuers of the Stoke Empire were leaving, Alpacino, who had not yet made up his mind, panicked for a while. He opened his mouth and shouted, "My lord!"

"Huh?" Tyre, the Stoke Empire mage who was tracking in Erin's direction, turned his head, "Is there anything else you can do?"

"I'm ......" Alpache paused, he was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Maybe it's a good idea to let them go like that, at least there won't be any danger to yourself.

As for Erin...... She might know how to find some remote way to go? She should know that, right? Even if she didn't, maybe she'd encountered some Hawke army now? She wouldn't be in danger, would she?

Although the early autumn nights were extremely cool, Alpacino was drenched in a cold sweat from nervousness. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then finally made up his mind.

"Your Excellency. Once Alpacino made up his mind, his voice became steady. The soldier looked up and said, "I have something to tell you." ”

"Things?" Terrey's stunned, "What's the matter with you?"

"Yes......" said Alpacino mysteriously, "it's about the ugly thing you just talked about." ”

"Oh?" Tyret narrowed her small eyes, and the wrinkles on her face folded together. She smiled and said, "Come on, young man, tell me what's wrong with her?"

"This ......" Alpacino pretended to be embarrassed: "There are so many people, you see ......"

Terry turned her head to look, then smiled again. She waved her hand, and one of the Stoke Imperial cavalrymen jumped down and lay down beside Teré's horse. Tyré jumped down on the back of the cavalry, and then she trembled over to Alpacino and said kindly, "All right, young man, it's just the two of us now, can you tell me?"

"Okay, okay. Alpacchino nodded as if flattered, and then leaned over to Tyrée: "The secret is ......"

Alpacchino jerked out the dagger he was carrying, and then swiped it at Tyré's neck.

But Tyré is a veteran mid-level mage after all, and in terms of strength, he is not much worse than the Bribas that Alfred enshrines. As if she had anticipated Alpacino's actions, she raised her hand before he could storm and hurt someone.

One of Tyre's rings immediately glowed, and then a magic missile struck Alpacino's face.

"Ahh Blood splattered outward, staining Alpacino's face, which was not handsome, blood-red.

"I'm curious, lad. Terrey's face was still smiling, but there was a palpitating viciousness in those eyes: "What kind of stupidity can give you the courage to offend a mid-level mage?"

"Stupid?" Alpacino struggled to his feet, squeezing the pain from the broken bridge of his nose, and wiped his face away with his hand. Alpacino looked at his red palms, and then laughed, and he laughed at himself, "yes, maybe it's stupid! If she dies like this, I'm afraid she won't even know, right? In this way, I am really stupid today!"

"But ......," Alpacchino then thought, "I may be really stupid, but it's not your turn to say that." This stupidity...... It's the courage she gave me, it's the strength she gave me! If that's stupidity, then I'm willing to be this fool no matter how many times I do it again!"

"With me here, I won't let you go on. Alpacchino stood up, and said in a very soft, but equally resolute tone.

"Come on, old woman, if I kill him, I will inevitably insult my identity. Terley stepped back tremblingly, then commanded a few of the horsemen.

"Yes!" the Stoke knight immediately charged.

When Alpacino saw the Stoke cavalry rushing towards him, he also knew that he couldn't charge hard at this time. Since he chose to do this, then he didn't care about his life for a long time. The only regret he had was that he hadn't been able to kill the old woman who was in charge of tracking just now, but since the sneak attack didn't succeed, he naturally didn't expect to kill her again. The only thing Alpacchino wanted to do now was to delay Erin for a little longer, if it was just a second longer.

He didn't know if the little time he had put off would be useful again, but he felt he had to. He'd hurt Erin just now, so it's time to atone for his sins.

Alpecino stood there steadily, his heart never calmer. His eyes caught every enemy movement, their swords, their horses, their hands and feet.

It's closer...... Alpacino's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he suddenly flashed sideways as the horse was a meter away from him. He ducked the cavalryman's slash and then reached out with lightning to grab the cavalryman's ankle.

"Ahh

Pulling the cavalryman down, Al Pacino did not hesitate to send the dagger into his heart. He drew his short sword, then drew the long sword that the corpse carried.

"......" All the knights were stunned for a moment, they could all see that this man was at the same level as their fighting spirit, but they didn't see how he killed a companion just now.

"Dismount and let them understand that Stoke also has warriors. One of the knights said, and he jumped off his horse. The other knights did as they were told, and in silence drew their swords, and then charged towards Alpacino.

There was no trace of fear in Alpacino's eyes, and for some reason, he looked at the enemies who were charging at him, and a sense of pride came naturally.

"At least in the end, have I become a man of courage?" Alpacino thought silently, and then he roared and charged at the soldiers of the Stoke Empire.

The battle was soon over. In fact, in the face of more than a dozen enemies of similar strength to himself, it is already very incredible that Alpacino can hold out for five minutes.

He was now being held to his neck by two Stoke Imperial soldiers, and then kicked before Tyre.

"I'm actually a little curious, why did you suddenly attack us, and what do you have to do with the girl I'm tracking?" Tyret asked.

"......" Alpacino closed his eyes and said nothing.

"Say it, and I can consider making your death a little more painful. ”

“......”

"In that case, then it's a pity. Tyré waved her hand, then fired an acid arrow at Alpacino.

"Ahhhhh!!!h

Alpacino knew he was going to die, but until now, he has not regretted it in the slightest.

"Although I escaped, I have killed three Stoke Empire soldiers so far. I've contributed to the Empire, and I'm at least a good soldier, right?" Alpacino screamed, but his heart was always calm, he calmly looked back on his life, and then thought silently.

"When I'm dead, the Empire will treat me as if I was a war dead, right? Father and Mother, they'll also get the Empire's handouts, right? They won't be fine. ”

"Regner, you said that as long as there is still a breath of air, you will definitely not let the beloved girl get hurt. I don't know how I'm doing, and I don't know if what I'm doing is working. But I think at least I did as hard as you said. I didn't fulfill my promise to take care of her for a year and I'm sorry. After that, Erin can only ask you......"

Erin...... I wonder if you will think of me in the future and forgive me......"

Alpacino's consciousness gradually blurred, at the end of the day. He seemed to see a girl's face, a face of stunning beauty, with long silver-gray hair and silver-gray eyes, just like Irene. She looked at herself with a smile as warm as the sun, and then nodded to herself, as if to affirm herself or something.

"Is this what you are? the one I love the most...... Is...... As I thought...... It's beautiful......."

That was Alpacino's last thought before he died.

"Chop off his head, maybe this thing will be of some use to Lord Saron. Tyré commanded lightly, she deliberately didn't aim at Alpacino's face when she used the acid just now, just because she didn't want to ruin his face.

"As you wish, Lady Terrey. A Stoke knight nodded, then walked over to Alpacino's body, where he nodded as if acknowledging his courage, and then swung his sword in silence......

At the same time, Erin's heart jumped for some reason, and she turned her head to look in the direction she had come, and then muttered, "Brother Alpacino......"

Little did Erin know at this time that there was a man who had given his life for his ridiculous and humble feelings for her. Despite his mistakes, despite his loss of mind, in the last moment, he stood up bravely and without hesitation. With his young life, he bought Erin a few minutes.

Alpacino didn't even think until he died, and it was because of his efforts that Erin finally narrowly escaped this fate. He couldn't have imagined that it was not only Erin who had escaped this catastrophe, but even the world. The wheel of history, because of the influence of the tiny pebble of Alpacino, did not slide into the darkest abyss.
