Chapter 140: Sacrifice

“…… Count Connor was a hero, and we should always remember how he sang to heaven on the battlefield of the Battle of Dehebas. www.biquge.info We should remember that it was precisely because of the heroic sacrifice of Count Connor that it provoked countless Celts to resist the Saxons, which greatly damaged King William's vitality, and it was thanks to this that we were able to defeat King William later. Now, let us mourn together and mourn for a minute of silence for the passing of this brave and unyielding hero. If you cultivate the old days, people will not be hurt! Amen. ”

"Amen."

As the prayer of the Duke of Xiao Tang ended, everyone in the audience also followed, whether sincere or dishonest, put their hands on their chests and heads on the ground, and shouted loudly. But Xiao Tang Dagong turned around and looked at the eyes of everyone who were moved, or didn't answer, or suspicious, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.

Paying homage to Earl Connell was something he had practiced many times in his heart.

As I said before, 'Count Connor is a hero', this is the only sentence that comes from the sincerity of the little Tang Dagong in the above lot of unnutritious nonsense. would rather die than yield, fight to the death rather than retreat, and sacrifice honorably, it is exactly what a qualified soldier looks like, no matter how he is called a hero. What's more, if it weren't for the sacrificial blow of Earl Connell, the 2,000-strong Duchy of De Hebas army stubbornly blocked the iron cavalry with their bodies, the original battle of De Hebas, don't look at the little Tang Grand Duke used so much thought, and he contacted the King of France and the King of Scotland, it is not certain who the final winner is!

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Duke of Xiao Tang worships it, even if this tomb is just a hollow, there are a few favorite clothes of Count Connor during his lifetime, and the body of the real Count Connor has long been trampled into meat and mud by the war horse, mixed with the soil to moisten the earth.

"At this time, if only Bishop Philip were here, he is much better at such things as calling the dead, than I am."

When everyone else was moved and shocked, Xiao Tang Dagong lowered his head and sighed, and then thought of it. Officiating at someone's funeral, as well as a memorial service, this kind of thing is also the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair, and he has no experience at all, and he doesn't know if there is a mistake in many places. But if Bishop Philip comes, it will be different, funeral and marriage, these are the old professions of Bishop Philip, and the last burial and memorial service of the Grand Duke of Murzid was also carried out by Bishop Philip.

But, enough, I mean, is enough, and that's just a matter of looking at the tears in the eyes of Earl Connor's surviving people, as well as little Leah, and the few knights who are still loyal to Earl Connell.

It is easy to understand that such an empty tomb was originally built only for the wife and daughter of Earl Connor, who was inconvenient to go out of the country, and ordinary people who were so idle and had nothing to do, came to worship a dead man. Not to mention anything else, Duke Eddard, who has been a prisoner for so long, has been walking around every day and hugging each other, and he has never seen a word come here to take a look and say a word. There are also the other three counts of the Northern Earls Alliance, who are really dying like lights extinguishing, and the original indestructible alliance has now lost a backbone, an old friend, and it is not an exaggeration to come to remember it, right?

But none of them came, and not even a word of 'festival mourning and change' was said!

It is conceivable what this has become of the sadness of little Leah and the surviving people. Don't mention that it's Xiao Liya, there is a mother who forced a smile in front of her, and every day she says that her father is a big hero who stands up to the sky, but what she is behind is the indifference and even betrayal of everyone! Although Xiao Liya is still young and most things are ignorant, children are the easiest to distinguish between good and bad hearts; Besides, people are like drinking water, they know their own warmth and coldness, Xiao Liya is not a fool, on the contrary, she is very smart, so she will become more and more indifferent.

If there is no appearance of the Duke of Xiao Tang, this will be another three-nil girl, or 'not understanding people's hearts', in fact, she doesn't understand people's hearts, but she doesn't want to think about it anymore.

However, fortunately, there is the little Tang Grand Duke.

Although Xiao Tang Dagong is just an outsider, but this outsider, every move can make people feel warm, such a small but indispensable warmth, for a little girl who is in a violent psychological fluctuation and has just begun to complain, there are already a lot, so much that it is about to overflow.

This is the typical victim mentality, just thinking about finding a person to rely on, and then entrusting everything to him, and then without thinking about it, you can leave everything behind and continue to live your own life......

It's very common, it was, it is, it will never go away, and you can't ask a 10-year-old to do better.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, though I am not very familiar friends with Earl Connell, and have had a collision over some incidents, but I also regret the loss of such a hero. Please mourn and go on, life will go on, and your daughter, little Leah, will also need your nurture as well. ”

After the memorial service, the surviving members of the deceased's family and Leah have to bow at the entrance of the cemetery one by one until all the guests have left. The other nobles are walking quite fast - of course they have to go fast, it is too unlucky, there should have been a grand banquet today, but it was so stirred up by the little Tang Grand Duke, but it turned into a dead man who came to pay homage, can this not be unlucky!

Gotcha, don't say anything, go back to bed early.

With such an idea, the other nobles are like rabbits, running faster than anyone else, and the little Tang Grand Duke has not even said that it is disbanded, he has already run seventy-seven-eighty-eight, leaving only some attendants to support the façade, and his heart does not know where to run, which is really chilling to the extreme. It seems that at the most dangerous moment of the First Battle of Dehebas, the words of Duke Eddard when he fled, 'Life is everything', were not without purpose, but an empirical statement that could only be said by seeing through the hearts of the people on this small island of Ireland!

No wonder Ireland's strength is not bad, at least it is the second master who can rank second in the British Isles, but it has always been bullied, and even the Scots in the Highlands can come and step on a few feet, just such a group of civil war insiders, foreign war laymen guys, it's strange not to lose.

(In fact, Ireland is true, because this is an overhead background, so the writing is not so detailed, in real history, Ireland has long been under the background of the 'Four Kings Competition', saying that it is the Four Kings, in fact, it is just four dukes, we are familiar with the dog brother, that is, Cú Chulainn, he is a member of the vassal knighthood of one of the dukes.) )

In fact, this is also a great benefit for the little Tang Grand Duke to establish the hegemony of Ireland, and it is good to fish in troubled waters if people are not aligned! A little provocation, temptation, separation, can easily play everyone in applause, and when the time is ripe, you can hold the crown of thorns in the palm of your hand.

But at the moment, the little Tang Grand Duke doesn't want to think about this.

Although it is said that the instinct of politicians is to turn everything into politics, it is obvious that the Duke of Xiao Tang is not a qualified politician, and he is annoyed enough to intrigue every day, and now I am paying tribute to the martyrs, can you still let me stop for a while?

It is precisely because of this that the Duke of Xiao Tang was able to say the above words sincerely, and almost made the dry tears of the surviving people flow out again.

"That's really...... Thank you for your trouble......"

The surviving man hurriedly waved his hand to wipe away the tears that he wanted to shed just now, and when he said this, the little Tang Grand Duke just shook his head and did not speak, and the scene fell into embarrassment for a while.

said it was embarrassing, but in fact, the survivor was thinking about something.

Strong, handsome and warm, young and golden, in a high position, the soldiers are invincible, from this point of view, the little Tang Dagong is like an angel in the sky, if you miss this one, you will never find a second one!

The Grand Duke of Donchester is right when he says that I should be braver, and for the happiness of my daughter Leah, I should be braver.

At that time, the surviving person thought so in his heart, the happiness of her daughter, just this one thing, had already inspired all her motherhood, and a mother would rather go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire for her child, and never blink her eyes or cry out in pain.

Therefore, at that time, the surviving person summoned all her courage, which she had not used since she was born, and said to the little Tang Grand Duke: "If I can, if I can, I want to entrust my daughter, Leah, to you!" ”
