"Xia Zhe, you're back!"

Xia Zhe, who entered the Overlord Mercenary Group with Youxi, met Wei Li and others who came to check the situation for the first time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because, the mercenary group is responsible for the scouts of Wangfeng, and the first time to report the situation outside to the inside, after receiving the news, the overlord's sister Gangze immediately rushed to the direction of the gate with Wei Li and others.

I saw that Wei Li, who had lost her backbone for a long time, also rushed to Xia Zhe's front like Youxi, and her big bright eyes were also full of mist at the moment, as if they would evolve into a downpour in the next moment.

However, Wei Li, who was strong, tried her best to stop her tears, she didn't want Xia Zhe to think that she was a useless woman who only knew how to cry.

However, Xia Zhe took her in his arms and kept patting her on the back, "Cry if you want to, you must be very scared, blame me for making you scared for so long." ”

At this moment, the girl could no longer control her tear glands, and she wet Xia Zhe's chest like water.

It wasn't until Xia Zhe appeased Wei Li that he noticed that Hanks had brought out all the sheltered heroes in the mercenary group, but unfortunately, even with Xia Zhe's extremely bad counting ability, there were less than a hundred heroes.

The surviving heroes, and all those he saved, were as pitiful as the bustling faces of the Brussellin chapter a few months ago, like refugees fleeing war.

It is estimated that this number is less than one-tenth of the number of Brussellin heroes during the victory, let alone the staff who worked for the Guild.

Looking at those gray eyes, Xia Zhe more deeply realized the horror of the disaster experienced by this hero, but he clearly remembered that just a few months ago, the heroes who lined up to call him "Enemy of Brusselin" and wanted to duel him were all able to line up in a long line that could not be seen at a glance.

Just when Xia Zhe felt heartache, these down-and-out heroes, under the leadership of Hanks, bowed to Xia Zhe in unison, expressing their gratitude for his rescue.

"Hey, don't do that, I didn't do anything...... At a time and place I don't know, there are still many people I have not been able to help, and I am not qualified to accept such feelings from you. ”

Looking at the taciturn heroes in front of him, Xia Zhe's heart was full of remorse, this feeling rose from his heart for no reason, which was almost impossible to see in the lazy otaku in the past, but now, he really and deeply experienced the pain of his companions' death, so he didn't want to and didn't dare to accept the gratitude of these heroes.

However, dozens of pairs of eyes did not change at all, and they didn't even know who suddenly burst out with a sentence, "Xia Zhe, please take us to kill all those black cloaks!"

Because of these words, the heroes are not silent, and their long-pent-up emotions completely burst out.

"Xia Zhe, thank you for saving us. 」

"Now we finally have a chance to take back the Hero Society. 」

"Your strength, President Hanks has told us, that you have shown me the possibility of judging those black cloaks. 」

"Yes, they are right, we are not capable of doing it, we can only watch our companions fall, so your appearance is our savior. 」

"Moreover, the actions of the headquarters are so excessive, even though we have lost a lot, they still drain the last of their strength, which has led to the loss of the chapter, and with the acquiescence of various countries, we have lost too much......

「……」

More and more voices sounded from the hero's mouth, and these emotions full of anger and dissatisfaction gave Xia Zhe a glimpse of the "crisis" that Hanks had previously depicted.

"Guys, you're heroes! I think you know better than I know what the title "heroes" means, and it's not me who has been saving you...... It's the overlord who protects you under all the pressure, and his most precious members. Xia Zhe felt the need to correct their thinking.

"And this President Hanks, even if he disobeys the orders of the Hero Headquarters, he will retain some of his combat power, just so that Brussellin can have more strength and protect everyone. ”

"But you only see what is in front of you, and you see hatred, have you forgotten all the 'heroic faith', and because of the blows of others, have you lost the most important principle in your heart?"

In the face of the heroes who were silent again, Xia Zhe opened his mouth with all his skills, "Actually, many people who know me have given me an evaluation of "unqualified hero", and sometimes, even I don't know whether the hero profession is suitable for me. However, after such a long time, many passive or active choices have made me more aware of the meaning of the word "hero", even if it is bruised all over the body, even if it is not self-sufficient to die, heroes are always so dazzling and unique. It can be said that they are the ones who have supported the entire Hero Association and the peace and stability of the entire continent. ”

"But, looking at you now, you only noticed that I solved the black cloak, but it didn't occur at all, if it weren't for those fools who have been helping you and protecting you, would the name hero still exist in Brusselin?"

“…… Earlier, I was told that in order to protect us troublemakers, more than a hundred "fools" in the city left their families forever. Later, I was told that in the entire eastern province of Eitis, there were hundreds of "fools" who lost their lives because of our powerlessness...... And if you add these numbers to the statistics of the entire continent, how much is that?"

"I can tell you very clearly that in the past two months, the number of people who have died because of us is definitely more than the total number of heroes in the entire population. These "stupid people" who are not heroes can carry out their beliefs until death, but what about you, you only think about how others owe us us and how to isolate us, but you don't think about why the current heroes have become an existence that everyone avoids. ”

"It is because of our weakness and mistakes that you can only see the hatred and opposition in front of you, so that people will stay away from us even more!"

"Now, keep your eyes open and see clearly!"

As he spoke, Xia Zhe pointed his finger at the overlord and his mercenaries, "They are the 'heroes' who really saved you! Remember for me what you chose to become heroes for, and why you can live to continue the 'Hero's name'." ”

"If you can't do it, then don't top that name, too heavy to bear. ”
