Chapter 25: The Road to Heaven

On the side of the Second Swordsman, no one was killed on the spot, and only a few dozen mercenaries were wounded in the battle. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Kevin's injuries are the most serious. As soon as the first captain returned to the barracks, he completely fainted and began to have a high fever.

Inside the tent, Bran carefully took out the arrow stuck in Kevin's shoulder with a knife and other tools by the light of the oil lamp, and described the jet-black sharp arrow: "This must be a poisoned arrow." But I'm just going to bandage it simply. The work of detoxification still needs to be done by professional forensic doctors. "In this world, forensic medicine refers to doctors who are good at using magic to remove all kinds of pain and treat all kinds of diseases. All mages know a little bit of medicine. Forensic doctors are all proficient in magic.

Seeing Kevin lying on the ground with a sweaty head, pale face, and purple lips, Leonard looked around anxiously and asked, "Do we have a forensic doctor in the Second Swordsman Order?" Bran heard this, but just looked at the Great Swordsman's eyes helplessly and shook his head.

At this moment, Mel, Kevin's best brother, was already kneeling beside his brother, unable to suppress the emotions in his heart, and cried out loudly: "Kevin... My good brother... You can't die... Didn't the two of us already say that we would make a contribution with the regimental commander and shock the entire Farusion continent?

Hearing Mel's excited call, Kevin couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, holding his brother's right hand with all his might, and responding in a very weak voice: "Mel... My good brother. And the head of the regiment ... To be able to meet you and stay with you is the greatest joy and happiness in my life. It was Mel, and you made me understand what brotherhood is. It was the regiment commander who taught me how to be a real soldier. But I..."

Seeing this, Mel couldn't help but interrupt Kevin's words loudly: "Don't say it!-" Then, exhausted his thinking ability, he suddenly thought that Alonso should be carrying the antidote with him.

So Mel raised his head, looked around the tent, and asked loudly: "Doesn't that Marquis Alonso like alchemy? Doesn't he always want to live forever? He has taken so many kinds of poisonous pills, he must carry the antidote medicine with him!?"

Hearing the name Alonso, Leonard didn't have any hope in his heart for this guy at all. So, he looked at Bran's face again and asked, "There should be someone who can detoxify in the Lars Empire, right?"

When Bran heard this, he stood up and was about to step out of the tent as he spoke: "But we are now enemies of the Lars Empire. Everyone in this country wants us to die. Will they help us? Besides, far water can't save near fire. Drag on like this. Kevin I'm afraid... Let me beg Alonso. ”

The scene in front of him couldn't help but remind Leonard of that extremely tragic scene many years ago. So he responded loudly: "Kevin is my best brother." I don't want to lose anyone around me again. So no matter what you want to do now, you have to let the commander of the Second Swordsman Regiment handle it personally. Immediately afterward, the Great Swordsman stretched out his arms with a gloomy expression, stopped Bran, and stepped out of the tent quickly.

Soon, Leonard came to the old carriage where Alonso was sleeping, stood with his hands in fists, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency the Marquis, the commander of the First Army and the Second Swordsman Regiment, Leonard has come to visit. "There were several large burning pyres illuminating the surroundings, and a large group of marquis' guards were on strict guard.

When Alonso heard this, he first stretched his arms very lazily and yawned: "Ahhh Seeing this, the marquis couldn't help but be shocked, and then thought again: "Coming to visit late at night, this person's appearance must be asking for himself." So, while calculating in his heart, the guy slowly put on his clothes in the carriage.

As soon as Alonso stepped out of the carriage by the servants, he smiled and teased the visitor in an almost playful tone: "Oh - it turned out to be Leonard, the commander of the Second Swordsmen." You came to Ben Hou late at night, why did you do it?-"

Leonard resisted the disgust in his heart, and continued to ask with due courtesy: "I have come to visit Your Excellency this time. The first thing is to confirm one thing. ”

Hearing this, Alonso continued to speak in an arrogant tone: "Just ask if you have anything." As long as Ben Hou knows, he will tell you. ”

So Leonard asked bluntly: "May I ask Your Excellency if there is an antidote here?"

When Alonso heard this, he felt that he had won the scroll, and with both hands he leisurely took out a large number of small vials of potions from his coat pockets, and replied: "Yes." There are not only all kinds of detoxification drugs. There are also all sorts of pills and poisons. However, these medicines were only recognized by Benhou and the alchemists who made the medicine for Benhou. It's a pity that he's not here now. "The Marquis deserves to be a medicine jar.

Hearing Alonso's words and seeing the large number of potions in the palm of the other party's palm, Leonard's heart couldn't help but ignite infinite hope, and his words became more and more respectful and pleaded: "The First Army, the Second Swordsman Regiment, and the First Brigade Captain are now suffering from arrow poison, and their lives are in danger. Please be sure to come up with antidote medicine to save someone's life. ”

Seeing this, Alonso couldn't help but raise his toes and point at Leonard's eyebrows with a whisk, and reprimanded him on the spot: "Hmph!--remember that you used to say that Ben Hou was stiff or something? Now that his subordinates are in trouble, they have come to ask Ben Hou." Ahh

At this time, at Kevin's strong request. Mel and Bran had already helped him to a short distance behind Leonard. Seeing this situation, Mel couldn't help but shout loudly: "Regiment leader, blame me for talking too much! Don't ask him! This kind of person, no matter how much you ask him, it's useless!"

When Leonard heard this, he first turned his head suddenly, glared at Mel with extremely stern eyes, and yelled: "Mel, shut up for me!-"

Then Leonard turned his head again, bent deeply, bowed respectfully to Alonso, and apologized: "It was all a small mistake before, offending the majesty of His Excellency the Marquis. The small one will be paid to you now. Please have a lot of past suspicions, and be sure to save someone's life. ”

Alonso saw that the people around him were gathering more and more, and his guards and the mercenaries of the Second Sword Regiment had almost all arrived, so he let out more and more words: "This is almost the same. But this is only because you have offended Benhou, and it is natural to apologize. If you want an antidote, take a hundred gold coins first. "Even if the marquis was given a hundred gold coins. He'll have other problems. Because Alonso clearly wants to make things difficult and take revenge on Leonard who offended him.

Seeing Alonso turn around and almost get back on the old carriage, Leonard hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "A hundred gold coins, I really can't get it now." However, I am willing to agree to any of your requests. ”

When Alonso heard this, he replied with interest: "That's what you said, so what if I want your life?"

Leonard agreed without hesitation: "Offer it as it is." "The Great Swordsman saw that Alonso had no reason to take his own life and that he had no ability to kill him. If the Marquis had really offered Leonard's life, he would have repented.

When Mel heard this, he couldn't contain his excitement at all, and cried out desperately: "Commander, don't!β€”this kind of person can do anything! How can you put your life in the hands of such a person?"

Seeing this, Alonso's face couldn't help but show a sinister smile and smiled at Mel: "Don't be nervous. Ben Hou would never have wanted the leader of the Second Swordsman Regiment to be so talented, and so young and precious. ”

Then, Alonso turned his head to look at Leonard's face again, and said sinisterly: "However, since you Leonard used to be able to insult Benhou recklessly, now kneeling on the ground and licking Benhou's shoes, shouldn't it be a big deal?"

When Mel heard this, he rushed towards Leonard, shouting as loudly as he could: "Commander!--this guy is a bastard!--you can't be killed!--you must not listen to him..."

Seeing this, Bran grabbed Mel's arm vigorously and advised the other party: "You should trust your regiment commander to make his own choices. ”

Alonso found Leonard scanning his body from head to toe with a fierce, murderous, vicious look, and finally his gaze fell straight on his feet, still staring at them. Although there was a large group of highly skilled guards protecting him, the marquis's back couldn't help but feel a chill. At the same time, this guy also sensed that Kevin was a very important role for the Great Swordsman.

So Alonso pretended to be calm, and pretended to be fearless and provoked and threatened Leonard in a loud voice: "Do you want to kill Benhou? Kill, kill! As long as you dare to kill, you want to know which bottle of Benhou is the antidote." ”

Leonard wanted to hold Alonso hostage with his sword and force the guy to hand over the antidote, but he saw that the Marquis's most loyal and skilled guards had been closely guarding his master's side, and he was extremely vigilant in monitoring his every move. If it really starts, it will be difficult to take advantage for a while, not to mention, and it is possible to accidentally kill Alonso by mistake. Thinking about this, the great swordsman could only grit his teeth, be ruthless, and resolutely agree to the other party's unreasonable request: "I'll lick!"

At this moment, Kevin, who was covered with arrow poison, forcibly broke free from Bran's arm holding him regardless of this, and crawled to the ground with all his might, while trying his best to dissuade the regimental commander as loudly as possible, not to become the laughing stock of others for his own sake: "Captain, don't do it for me... Don't do that!--" He knew very well in his heart what self-esteem and pride meant to a soldier.

I saw that Leonard couldn't manage so much anymore. Porphyrium thump. The Great Swordsman knelt down in front of Alonso in front of the entire regiment, bowed his head and licked the shoes on his feet. The Marquis knelt down and licked his shoes when he saw Leonard so simply, and suddenly felt as if he was too cheap for the other party, and his heart was very unhappy. So this guy actually raised his foot and kicked the head of the great swordsman.

Seeing Leonard's reaction was extremely fast, he raised his right hand and pinched the ankle of the foot kicked by Alonso tightly, forcibly stopped the other party's movements, and warned in an extremely cold tone: "Your Excellency, I only promised to kneel and lick your shoes." ”

Alonso couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Ouch!-" In this guy's heart, there is a sense of unwillingness to steal chickens, but to eat rice.

Immediately after, Leonard stood up, stretched out his right hand in front of Alonso, and asked in a calm tone: "Marquis, don't forget your promise. Please give me the antidote. The Great Swordsman thought that he had already knelt for Alonso and added his shoes. The Marquis should keep his promise. Leonard, of course, is not willing to continue to grab Alonso's ankle and threaten the other party on the premise that he has already relented, complicating the current situation and delaying the time to save Kevin.

After Alonso's ankle was pinched, he wanted to have an immediate attack and directly refused Leonard's request. But this guy's two little eyeballs suddenly turned again, and he immediately agreed to the request of the great swordsman with a pleasant face: "The antidote on Ben Hou's body is at least divided into several kinds, and I can't give you all of them." Ben Hou had to be asked to personally determine which kind of poison was among the wounded. Ben Hou can give you a few corresponding antidotes. When Leonard heard this, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately led Alonso and his escort to Kevin's side.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Alonso walked to Kevin's side, he scolded and raised his foot to kick the wounded man's head continuously: "Tag, you damn bastard! Your regiment commander even wants to let Ben Hou save your cheap life without spending a penny! Give Ben Hou a direct death! This guy took out all the resentment that Leonard had accumulated by pinching his ankle on Kevin. This scene stunned Mel and Bran, who were standing nearby, and they were completely stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Leonard's suppressed flames finally burst out irrepressibly, and his face was flushed and he roared: "Dog thief!--take your life!-" I saw that the great swordsman drew the sword from his sheath, and was about to rush forward and kill Alonso, who was not human. At the same time, his heart was full of remorse, complaining that he should not trust a guy like Alonso to keep his promise.

Mel also exploded, and drew his sword regardless of it, and rushed forward to slash Alonso, yelling: "I'm going to slaughter you old beast too!"

Alonso had long expected such a violent reaction from Leonard. I saw that the marquis was fleeing for his life with his head in his hands, and at the same time, he threatened everyone at the scene loudly: "Stop them!--Ben Hou has a heavy reward!--Whoever dares to kill Ben Hou is a mutiny and rebellion, and he has committed a heinous crime, that is, he is an enemy of the Five Elements Chamber of Commerce, and he is an act of declaring war on the Republic of Vosfitta!--His Majesty Clios and the eldest brother of Ben Hou, Duke White, will never let him go..."

When Alonso's guards heard of the reward, they gathered and stopped in front of Leonard and Mel and shouted: "Hurry up and protect Your Excellency the Marquis!"

"The traitor should be punished!" The mercenaries of the Second Swordsman Regiment were almost all frightened by the Marquis's cruel words, and they were all at a loss, and they were stunned in place, and none of them dared to rush forward to support their commander.

Syllable!.... Syllable!... Syllable!... Leonard swung his sword in succession, knocking out several blades in the hands of Alonso's guards in front of him, but watched as the dog thief scurried into the carriage and hid.

Just when Leonard was furious and wanted to chase after the carriage and continue to kill Alonso. Bran hugged the great swordsman tightly from behind and exhorted him loudly: "Ray, calm down! It's just going to give the Lars Empire a chance!, and Kevin, he's fast..."

Leonard yelled in exasperation when he felt himself suddenly grabbed from behind, and slammed into Bran's embrace: "Let go of me!"

Immediately after, as soon as Leonard heard Kevin's name, his overheated mind immediately cooled down, and he turned around and told Bran: "Kevin... Hurry up and bring me there. I saw Kevin leaning on a large blue rock and sitting on the ground. Mel crouched beside him, sobbing silently.

Leonard walked straight to Kevin, squatted down his body, held his little brother's right hand tightly, looked into the other party's eyes, and shed tears of remorse with extreme guilt and said, "Kevin, it's all my fault." I shouldn't have taken the two of you to be self-conscious during the night attack on Mandolia, and I shouldn't have begged Alonso, that dog thief, and maybe I shouldn't have taken you to the Lars Empire at all..."

Kevin couldn't take his last breath, moved his lips, and replied intermittently: "Commander, you're not wrong... It's just my fate... Able to work with you... And Mel stays together... I'm already content... At last... I have one more thing... I'm going to ask you. ”

Leonard's eyes were filled with tears and he hurriedly agreed: "Just ask me if you have anything." ”

Kevin's voice was extremely small and asked, "Am I a qualified soldier?"

When Leonard heard this, his expression was extremely serious, and his attitude was extremely serious and affirmed the other party: "Yes! Absolutely! You are definitely a qualified soldier, and you are also my Leonard's best brother, a truly heroic and fearless warrior!"

Kevin replied in a last faint voice, "Actually, I know... I'm not so good... Didn't do it to fight the enemy to the death... Blood-spattered battlefield... If... If there is a kingdom of heaven... Captain, Mel, we'll meet againβ€”" After saying that, he closed his eyes very calmly, and never woke up. Seeing this, Leonard, Mel, and Bran didn't say a word, and buried Kevin's body here overnight, and erected a natural bluestone tombstone.

The inscription on the tombstone reads: The First Army of the Republic of Vosfitta, the Second Swordsmen Regiment, the First Captain, the brave and fearless soldier Kevin is buried here after fighting to the death with the enemy and splashing blood on the battlefield.
