Chapter 116: The Beginning of the Legend
Immediately after, the Great Swordsman pulled out the scorching brilliance that had been inserted into the back of the Mourning God's head and took a few steps back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Boom! Crackle... A sound like thunder resounded through the palace hall. The Mourning God's massive skull and bony tentacles gradually burst open. Countless shattered wreckage fell from the sky. The hall was full of dust, and the air was filled with the smell of incense ash and blood, which made people choke on breath.
"Ahem!--it's finally over. Next we—" Leonard covered his mouth and looked back at his companions, letting out a long breath.
"Is it all over? Is this the final truth?" muttered Tina as she watched the mourning god from explosion to destruction.
"Whether we see the truth or not, it's not over yet. The great revival of the Lars Empire also needs the leadership of His Highness. Hanks responded immediately.
Knock, knock, knock... With the sound of hurried footsteps, mixed with the sound of wheezing. I saw that the armor on his body was damaged in many places, and the blood was flowing down the wound at the broken place, and Gurpa, who was already red with blood, broke straight into the palace hall.
"Oops... Her Royal Highness is not good... The enemy's First Army had already surrounded the royal city, claiming to enter the palace to arrest the traitors. The brothers are outnumbered, already—" As soon as Gurba entered the main hall, he fell to his knees tiredly, crawled up to Tina, stretched out his hand, and cried out with tears streaming down his face.
After saying that, he turned on his back and lay down in front of the female mage.
"Please cheer up. For the sake of our motherland, and for the sake of your family, please be sure to cheer up. Tina hurried to Gurpa's side, leaned down, picked up the upper body of the little man from behind, and stared at the other man's face with a painful expression.
"Your Highness.. Don't worry about people like me... Fight for the people... Die for Your Highness... It is the glory of my brothers... It's just that I'm waiting... Can no longer be for His Highness... Served... I just ask you... Will my performance... Tell my son—" Gurba opened his eyes slightly, and replied in an extremely weak voice.
"I promise you. Tina hurriedly agreed. In front of her, Gurba, a little man with a stubble on his face and a very thin body, closed his eyes with relief forever when he heard this.
"Why do you all have to leave me, Father, why is this so!?Is this the so-called fate!?" A cloud of tears kept rolling in Tina's eyes. She held Gulba's body and questioned loudly and emotionally.
"Dying on the battlefield is the destination of every soldier. It is an incomparable honor for a soldier to sacrifice his life for His Highness and the motherland. Please don't grieve too much, Your Highness, the motherland still needs you to go back to lead. Hanks stepped forward and gently patted Tina on the shoulder, reassuring.
"Leonard!—I'm going to slaughter you ungrateful!Betray your companions!Collude with Memphis to set a trap!Despicable villains who want to murder Your Highness!!" Hanks suddenly remembered something, turned around, and pulled out the dagger from the holster of his left wrist with his right hand, pointed it at Leonard's face viciously, and began to curse.
"How can you say that? Ray and all of us have lived and died together along the way, and fought several times to get to where we are today. We didn't even see anyone from Memphis along the way, how could we collude with him to set a trap?" Bran stretched out his right arm and grabbed Hanks' way, glaring at the middle-aged uncle's eyes and questioning face-to-face.
"Then why is this happening!? why is this guy putting us in a corner!—" Hanks asked Bran in a loud and unconvinced voice.
"Good brother, it's none of your business. I do things by myself, and I do it by myself. It was indeed a mistake in my judgment that led everyone to a desperate situation and killed all my companions!!—" Leonard slowly walked behind Bran and gently pushed the longbowman's shoulder.
"Hanks, I swore by that. If I deceive you again, or do anything that is detrimental to your Lars Empire, I will hand over the head to you. If my death can give everyone hope and reunite us. Well, I won't regret dying!!" Leonard closed his eyes and replied to Hanks with a resolute face.
When Bran heard this, he had no choice but to stand away from them and watch the development of the situation.
"There is. Since you've said so. Hand me over the head. Hanks lit up the silver-gray dagger in his hand that glowed with pitch-black luster, the Dark Dagger, and threatened without hesitation.
"Hanks, stop!!I will not allow you to do this!This is an order!" Tina, who had already put down Gulpa's body and stood up, shouted at Hanks.
"Your Highness. Your subordinates usually listen to you, but now they can't bear it anymore. This guy actually tricked us again and lured us into a trap set by Memphis. Now, my subordinates have to slaughter this despicable villain with their own hands to avenge His Majesty the Emperor!-" Hanks glanced back at Tina, and his words were resolute in his disobedience.
Immediately after, he turned around with a flushed face and a fierce look in his eyes, unleashing all the resentment and anger he had usually accumulated, and went straight to Leonard.
Leonard heard Hanks' footsteps, but stood still, continuing to close his eyes, not moving. He couldn't do anything about the current situation, and the psychology of escape and despair prevailed for a while, so he only wanted to die. I saw that the middle-aged uncle held the dark dagger in his right hand, and stabbed it at the neck artery of the great swordsman.
Because Leonard stood still, Hanks' pace and movements were extremely fast. Tina, who was not far from the two of them, found that there was no time to cast the spell, and rushed forward regardless of it, facing the great swordsman, and stood up to block the eyes of the middle-aged uncle.
Hanks' eyes widened in surprise when he saw this. But he couldn't take it back, and he threw all his strength into the blow. I saw a flash of dark dagger and a black light, and it was inserted into Tina's shoulder.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, why did you do this!, why did you do this!!?... How's it going!?How's it going!!?-uhhh His subordinates deserve death!" After such a blow, Hanks completely lost his usual composure, and fell to one knee in front of Tina, and cried out in a loud voice that almost broke down.
"Leonard, you bastard, remember me!" While kneeling, the middle-aged uncle did not forget, and glared at Leonard fiercely.
"Tina, Tina. How can you be so stupid?—your father died because of me. It's me again and again, and I've put you in a lot of crisis. The only one who bears the blame and deserves to die is me. You're hurting yourself by doing this!—" Leonard opened his eyes and took Tina tightly into his arms, staring at the female mage's large, jewel-like eyes and confessing affectionately.
Tina's breath was fading open, and she found a teardrop as dazzling as a diamond, pure and flawless, as if shining with the holy light from heaven, illuminating the endless darkness and darkness, and gently dripping on her haggard countenance.
"Ray. Please don't shed tears. Didn't you say that you want to open up a brand new path in which anyone's life will never be wantonly deprived of it again, and no one's dignity will ever be trampled on without reason? I only hope that you will help you realize this wish! It is you who have saved me again and again, and it is you who have led all of us to overcome countless hardships and dangers and come to this point.
I firmly believe that you are the only one who can lead us all out of the siege and save the people who are struggling in this troubled and troubled world. Please be sure to live. Tina stared into Leonard's tearful eyes, smiled as best she could, and slowly uttered the words, then closed her eyes and fainted.
"The spirit of holy water, the source of all things. Please wash and soothe the wounds of this world with the cleanest and warmest dewdrops..."Leonard laid Tina, who was in his arms, in a clean open space, in the corner of the main hall, kneeling beside the female mage, and chanting a mantra.
Crystal clear, warm pale green dew drops fell from the sky, and the diameter fell on Leonard's eyes, Tina's body, and began to sterilize, keep warm, and do the most basic emergency treatment. -- The Dew of Holiness.
"Ray. Even though Tina is hurt, you are very sad. But I'll tell you something, the rest of the companions are gone!" Bran looked around the empty and chilling palace hall, and found that all but himself, Leonard, Tina, and Hanks were gone.
"Hmph. Those cowards must have slipped away from the chaos. Hanks, crouching beside Tina, snorted contemptuously from his nose when he heard this.
"Hanks, we've all lived and died together for so long, and we've overcome so many unimaginable odds to get to where we are today. Will you leave without saying a word?" Leonard suddenly raised his head and glared at Hanks with indignant eyes.
"Because of what Your Highness just said. So now I'll spare your life. But an ungrateful villain like you is punished by all. Others are not as stupid as us and will stay with you to die. The reason why we stayed is because Her Royal Highness the Princess is too kind, and it is too easy to believe the lies of you, a vile and shameless villain. Faced with Leonard's questioning, Hanks turned his gaze away with disdain, and used sarcastic words.
Turning to the entrance of the palace hall, she saw that Shera was sitting on the steps of the entrance with tears on her face, holding the body of Cleos, and weeping.
"Father. When she was a child, she heard the elders talk about your heroic deeds, and as your daughter, she was proud and proud, and she always followed your example and worked hard to learn all kinds of spells, hoping to become a great hero like you one day.
You Sheila has seen many times in her dreams, you are really great and kind. My daughter has unconsciously regarded meeting you as her greatest long-cherished wish.
But then, I heard from the elders that you have long since changed, from a great hero to a powerful careerist, and you are trying to resurrect the God of Mourning. Sheila couldn't accept this fact at all, and they secretly cried several times behind the elder's back.
Now that Sheila finally sees you, you haven't even spoken a word to your daughter... Sheila really has a lot to tell you..."Suddenly, a masked man in black flashed behind Sheila and swept away the elven lady with a single palm.
