Chapter Ninety-One: The Treatment of Cowards
This request made Rodria feel a little strange.
"Of course it's not okay, let's not talk about whether you can do it or not, even if you do it, it's your ability, and it has nothing to do with them." Rodria said.
"No, sir. I'm their captain. If this time it's a mission, it's all of us facing you. As long as one of us defeats you, then we're all done. ”
"Xiu, this is not true. If this is the mission, then each of you only has one chance. Because if you fail, you die. I'm not going to stop there, I'm going to do it completely. ”
"Promise him, Rodria." Minai Hills approached Rodria with a struggling recruit in his hand, putting his arm on Rodriard's shoulder: "Can he win you?" Even if you give him this promise with your strength, he won't be able to fulfill it at all. Minashiels let go of the recruit under his armpit and kicked it away, regardless of the recruit's status.
"Look, that's how strong they are."
His actions made Rodria frown slightly, but he didn't say anything about it.
"Minahires, you know, we don't know that—" He looked at the figure standing in front of the guards like a mountain, and Minahears looked over as well.
Mia, who was beside Gerald, noticed the sight of the two and hurriedly made a booing gesture.
She gestured lightly at Gerald and waved her hand not to disturb.
The two looked closely, and only then did they notice that Gerald's eyes had closed somewhere.
He fell asleep standing there.
Even if you fall asleep, you stand like a mountain.
But what kind of thing would make such a man so sleepy that he can fall asleep standing up?
"Sir Gerald, he's really tired," Ródria whispered.
"Yes, especially since something like that has happened—" Minahears murmured, as if a little sad.
"Let's finish tonight's task first, so that he can rest assured. Rodria, this time you make your own decisions, let's not bother the uncle, he hasn't slept in a while. ”
Rodria pondered for a moment.
"Okay, repair. I grant your request. If you can really defeat me, then I can call the shots, so that the first team does not have to accept tomorrow's punishment. But I have a request, everyone in the first team must come up and challenge us at least three times before this agreement takes effect. ”
"Why?" I don't understand.
"They're knights, and knights don't need shelter! And you're sheltering them now. On top of that, you don't have the strength to shelter them. "Don't try to protect anyone before you don't have enough strength, because it's easy for others to become dependent on you." When it really goes wrong, you'll watch the person you promised to protect have an accident in front of you, and there's nothing you can do about it. ”
Xiu was silent.
After a while, he said, "They are my companions, and I don't want to see them punished." ”
"I know what you think, if I had been before, I would have made the same choice as you. But now I don't agree with you. Lodria said firmly.
Xiu didn't refute it, but he didn't agree with it either. He just stubbornly looked into Rodria's eyes. The pair of clear and innocent, with a little stubborn purple, was reflected in the depths of Ródria's pupils.
Rodria smiled softly.
"So I came up with a compromise, they had to challenge us three times and give it their all... Look at the one over there, if it's like him, all of you are waiting for tomorrow's punishment. ”
Xiu looked at the challenge of Minay Hills next to him.
Minai Hills didn't know how many people had changed, and now in front of him seemed to be a noble young master, who was standing a few meters away from Minai Hills, looking at Minai Hills from a distance.
This is very strange, the distance between the two sides is generally about one meter before the start of the competition, why does he want to stand so far away?
The recruit shouted at Minai Hills to start, then turned and ran, with no intention of challenging Minai Hills at all.
He looked like he was trying to drag on time by escaping.
He ran farther and farther, faster and faster, wishing he had two more legs to escape.
When Minahears saw this, he only smiled mockingly and told the time lightly.
"One."
This tactic seemed to be a great inspiration for the others, who realized that they didn't need to fight, just run.
But soon their faces became a little weird, ugly, and even... Fear.
"Two."
The aristocratic young master was still smiling a little proudly. Although he ran so desperately, laughing would make his physical exertion greater, but he couldn't help but laugh.
I can think of such a clever way, and I can inspire others, so will my status rise a little?
"Three."
Perhaps, when I go back after tonight's mission, I can still be liked by the girls?
He couldn't help but laugh, and this moment completely disrupted his breathing. This was accompanied by a heavy, chaotic panting.
"Four. What's so funny? ”
A ghostly voice came from his ear. He looked back and was about to answer, but he saw Minahears' sarcastic expression.
"Five!"
It almost scared the hell out of him. Only then did he realize why the sound of the time had always been as loud as it had been at the beginning, and had not been reduced by the distance.
Because from the very beginning, Minai Hills has always kept the same distance as him. He easily followed him, a few tens of centimeters away, watching him run like a rabbit running for his life.
"Six!"
"I surrender, I'm not your opponent!" He immediately surrendered, conceded defeat, stopped running away, and shouted breathlessly.
"Seven." Minay Hills didn't seem to hear it at all, and he coldly burst out the next number.
"I admit defeat, I surrender, I have surrendered to the instructor!" He seemed to realize something, and he shouted in horror.
"Eight." Like a devil, Minahears continued to read out the next life-threatening number.
The young master turned and ran, but it was too late.
"Nine—" When the last number was pronounced, Minahears grabbed him by the neck and stumbled his face to the ground, forcing a shallow hole in the hard red earth.
"I hate cowards, and you happen to be cowardly and thorough, so I hate you. When you face Honkaimon in the future, do you think they will accept your surrender? You think that if you just kneel there and bow to them, they will let you go and even let you join the Honkai faction? It will bite off your head and make your blood spurt out ten meters away! Because the kneeling position is good for decapitation! ”
Minai Hills roared, he looked genuinely angry.
"You don't have to challenge again tonight, you're dead tomorrow. Get lost! He kicked the noble young master away, "I get angry when I look at it... Listen, all of you, if anyone else wants to be like him, you can get out of the way now, and wait for death tomorrow, and if anyone else does this shit, I'll let you die tonight! He looked at the recruits with a look in disgust as if he were looking at trash.
"It's useless to be a person, it's still cowardly, such a batch of garbage can enter the Knights, is the destiny degenerate?" Minay Hills said disdainfully, as if he was beginning to complain about the whole destiny.
Rodria listened to this, and his face changed drastically.
"Minathehirs can't say this in the future!" He suddenly walked over to Minay Hills, leaned into his ear, and gritted his teeth, "Do you want to cause trouble for yourself!" ”
Minasils knew that he had lost his words, and nodded with a wry smile.
Only then did Rhodría look back at Xiu.
"You see the consequences of running away, so if you're just trying to stall for time, don't come up and just wait for Chief Gerald's punishment. If I'm trying to escape, I'll do more than Minai Hills. Do you understand? ”
