Chapter Ninety-Five: Glory
Snorlan stuck his two-handed sword on the ground, pointed at Ingalls, and said loudly, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”
Ingalls sat on the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, smiled, and said, "There is nothing more to say, there is no such nonsense!" Just, I hope you keep your promise! ”
Snorlan nodded and said, "Since you said that this is a glorious duel, I will also follow the outcome of this glory." ”
A bleak smile appeared on Ingalls' face. He drew another sword from the waist of the other robber and launched a final charge at Snowlan.
Snorlan also pulled his two-handed greatsword out of the dirt and charged towards Ingalls.
Ingalls's sword was suffocatingly fast, his blade glowed with a little cold light, this was the strongest sword of his life, this sword, condensed the blood of thieves, robbers, rebels and innocents, Snorlan seemed to hear their souls wailing, through the little cold light reflected on the blade, Snorlan saw through the thin steel, saw his former self.
Snorlan sighed in his heart, Ingalls may be a hero who rebels against tyranny, or he may just be a rat who kills people for money, but whatever he is, his life will end here. Snorlan didn't know whether to admire him or despise him, but Snorlan wouldn't stop, and neither would Snorlan's sword, so Snorlan raised his two-handed broadsword and swung it at Ingalls' neck.
Ingalls' eyes were full of unwillingness, and he didn't want to die here. Now he just wants to spend the rest of his life happily with his wife and children in his hometown in the countryside. But he had already made his own choice, he chose to rebel against another group of unjust rulers in the unjust way of falling into the grass, but he did not realize that his existence had changed from a heroic fighter to a robber who killed people and goods, and sought money and killed people.
People always have to pay the price for their choices. Snorlan chose to summon Astaro, and he gained great power, but was also expelled from his homeland; Ingalls chose to fall into the grass, he could live by killing and robbing, how simple is it to kill civilians who are much weaker than himself? This is what he acquired, but he also paid his price, and that price was life.
Ingalls's skull flew into the air from the spurt of blood from his arteries, and the blood that spurted from his neck splattered Snorlan and squirted onto the top wall of the cavern, leaving a red trail. The salty smell of blood permeated the small cave, and the robbers looked at Ingalls's body in grief and at Snorlan with a flame of anger and hatred.
Snorlan sighed, Ingalls had a high reputation among the bandits. He took out the handkerchief he had with him, wiped the blood from the greatsword in both hands, and put it back on his back, and he looked around, surrounded by angry iron fists and eager fists.
"I promised him," Snorlan said, gesturing to Ingalls' body, "to spare you and let you live." Now, I will keep that promise. We are true to our word, and I will follow the glory he has brought me, but you will also inherit his glory, and if you insist on avenging him, please come, whenever and wherever you want, even now, but I hope that you will have self-knowledge, and if you delay your own life, he will die in vain. ”
Snowlan's sword-like eyes roamed around, and the robbers avoided Snowlan's gaze. They know that with their catties, they may not be able to keep the three of Snorlan, and don't forget, there is also a nimble little girl and a mage who have not made a move!
Snorlan looked at the robbers and minions who didn't dare to look him in the face, he nodded in satisfaction, and said, "The cruelty of others to you is not a reason for you to kill innocent passers-by. Don't do this anymore. ”
The robbers didn't reply, and some even snorted coldly, expressing their disdain for Snowland.
"I don't advise you either, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, we will never see each other again in the future, farewell!" Seeing this, Snorlan didn't bother to say anything, turned around and left without looking back, Theresa and Leslie following behind Snolan.
The robbers watched the three of them out of the cave, and Snorlan never looked back, and he didn't care about anything about them.
Carmelo was standing next to a tree at the entrance of the cave with his sword in his hand, and when he saw Snorlan coming out, he asked with great interest, "How is it?" ”
Snorlan finished telling the story of what was happening in the cave bit by bit.
Still smiling, Carmelo said, "So you kept them alive?" ”
Snorlan nodded.
"Have you thought about it, Snowlan," Carmelo grimaced, "if you let them live, they may stop there, or they may intensify it, and you will have to bear a share of the innocent passers-by they have killed." ”
"But as long as there is a possibility of them changing their ways, we will always try. And since I've promised the bandit leader, I can't break my promise. ”
"Snowland, I ask you, what is glory?" Carmelo asked.
"A little embellishment on the fruit of victory, but sweet."
"yes, it's sweet. But Snorlan, is glory more important or is your ideals and goals important? ”
"Fulfilling my ideal is the greatest honor in itself. What's more, victory is the greatest glory. ”
Carmelo nodded and said, "It's good that you think so." I have already met countless promising young men who have died on their journeys for glory. It is true that glory is precious, but victory is real. No matter how despicable and despicable you are, as long as you win the final victory, you are a hero. ”
Snorlan nodded and said, "I hope these robbers can change their ways." But if they continue to do all this murderous business, I will correct my mistakes. ”
Carmelo nodded: "It's good that you can think so." Let's go, let's go back. ”
All three of Snorlan nodded. Snorlan took Theresa by the hand and got into the carriage.
In the carriage, Theresa asked, "Brother Snolan, I've got your back." ”
Snorlan patted Theresa on the shoulder, smiled and said, "I know, do you still need to think about it?" ”
Snorlan and Theresa laughed in unison, but Leslie, out of the mentality of a bystander, instinctively wanted to pour a basin of cold water: "I hope they can really 'change their ways' as you say." ”
Snorlan smiled and said, "Yes, if they don't have heads, they'll have no heads." ”
