Chapter 60: The Ballad
"So, Rod Weir, he died like this, right, a knight of terror, or a degenerate of mankind, because of a stubborn belief that caused us so much chaos and casualties?"www.biquge.info ”
The freshly brewed black tea was held in the palm of his hand, and the mist made Leo's face a little blurred, making it impossible to see his somewhat complicated expression
"I'm sorry for that, although it was all the accident that we and Aldaryan were not in the storm at the time, but it was indeed our negligence, and the entire Knights of Punishment are willing to accept all your punishment for this matter, my lord!"
Finn raised his head, his eyes were calm and clear, his words were not the kind of politeness that belonged to the aristocracy, mistakes were mistakes, the Grand Master of the Knights and the others were not prepared to make more excuses for themselves, the virtues of the knights allowed them to speak accurately without any additions
Seeing Leo shake his head, Finn thought for a moment and spoke
"The detailed losses have been documented by Professor Pericles, as for the mere casualties...... The champion swordsman lost one hundred and twenty-three people, one veteran squadron of Stormwings was wiped out, and twenty-one others, including the vigilante militia, were killed, in addition to the Archbishop of Cain, who was the first to arrive at the scene, was seriously wounded, and seven Knights of Dawn were killed......"
"The sacrifice of nearly 200 people...... There are even a few knights, friends, I don't want to blame you for what has happened, and I understand what you know about the demons, but I still have to tell you that we can't take these enemies too seriously, this is just one person, and in the near future we will face a fully equipped army! ”
With a wave of his hand, Finn, Aldalian, and the others continued to speak, and Leo put down the teacup in his hand and stood up
"Take me to see the warriors and knights who died, this tragedy should never have happened!"
********************
It was still a little cold in the northern territory in the middle of the early spring, but the trees and flowers that were beginning to bud around made people feel the vigor of life, and as they rode slowly, a sudden spring rain slapped on the armor of Leo and his knights, and as they got closer to the Ruhr cemetery, everyone lost the nature of conversation
Leo, who turned over and dismounted outside the arched gate, was about to raise his feet and enter the cemetery, when he was suddenly alarmed by an ethereal singing, and looked at the sound in amazement, not far from the cemetery, on the green grass and raised dirt slope, a thin girl who could not see clearly was kneeling alone in front of the simple tombstone
Perhaps understanding Leo's doubts, Finn stepped forward and whispered in his ear
"That's Rita, the former lover of the horror knight Rhodes, who took the risk to sneak into Stormwind City with the ultimate goal of picking up this girl......"
After a pause, Finn pointed to a lone wooden tombstone not far away
"The bodies of our soldiers were buried in the Ruhr cemetery as soon as possible in accordance with your regulations, which is the treatment of heroes, and Rhodes ...... Originally, Kane and the Knights of Dawn meant to burn his body completely, but even the strong knights could not make Rita let go of the hands holding the corpse, so in order not to hurt this innocent girl, we finally decided that she could keep the body of this blasphemous, but not in Stormwind and Ruhr Cemetery, of course, if you don't agree, I can let people ...... now."
Although he didn't finish speaking, Leo also fully understood what Finn meant, and shook his head, he had not yet fallen to the point of bullying a dead enemy and a girl
"That's it, after all, Rhodes also used to belong to the storm...... Also, Finn, who's the guy standing behind the tree over there? If I'm not mistaken, the costume on his body should belong to Storm Wings"
Exhaling heavily, Finn suddenly felt a little depressed, and he tightened his cloak with a sparse tone
"Itsef, Itsev Peter, you may not see him in person, but the order appointing him Supreme Commander of the Stormwings was signed by your own hand, and ...... He was also Rhodes' best friend, before the Fall! He shot the crossbow that ultimately killed Rhodes, but afterwards, the brave Slavic warrior refused all rewards and commendations, and he said something to me......"
"What is it?"
"He would rather not save Rhodes in the first place...... So that he doesn't have to suffer the loss of his friends."
Finn succinctly told Leo what he had learned about the past between the two
After listening quietly, Leo hesitated slightly, but turned around and walked in the direction of Rita
"Go and see, I can't let a good legion leader be decadent, and I can't let a girl who shouldn't be responsible for this be ignored and alienated in the future......
"Praise you for your kindness, my lord!"
As the footsteps approached, Leo's expression gradually became strange and stunned, and finally, he suddenly stopped in the incomprehensible gaze of the companions, and the ethereal singing voice could clearly reach everyone's ears
At this time, everyone understood, and looked at their lord, for no other reason, but because it was one of Leo's favorite songs to hum in the beginning......
"Go back to the old place where you met a hundred years ago
Slowly walked up to the ancient city wall that could not be broken back then
Stonefield Farm next to Alwyn Forest
Rays of sunlight shine through under the grape trellises
Echo Mountain, is your laughter still ringing?
Eighteen-year-old Wang fell in love with a playful little girl in Beijun
Whoever cooks the pumpkin soup princess can't compare
She sang this song for me a hundred years ago
The water of Spiegel Lake is bright and not rippling
Next to Yingjia's face, she is from heaven
This place where the story begins
What do the elves of Silvermoon City look like?
In which direction is the druid totem in
The story is always so long
You said that happiness is in the distance, and we will wander together
Birds, flowers, Yiren, thrush, dressing
Dancing knives and guns, I should be a horse uniform
Men should be ambitious
Let the children's hearts and daughters let go
The sarcophagus that has been sleeping for a hundred years is as peaceful as ever
The ghosts of the dead floated through the ancient battlefield where they were killed
Agamand Mill in the north of Silver Pine Forest
The other side of the sea is my hometown that I will never go back to
Quietly recalling the past life is like a dream
The eight-hundred-year-old king misses you day and night
Shisheng stone next to too bleak heroes tragic who sad
The rustic pumpkin fragrance wants to taste it again
The crystal lake is illuminated by the moonlight
The way home is afraid that you will lose your way
Love songs are always sung like this
The king of Stormwind stepped into battle
Wait for him to marry me as a bride
The night is always so long
You're not by my side, and I'll sing this song alone
Killing the Quartet, ten battles, ten victories, and mighty
The statue of the Shikachi stele in the Dark City
Stone square stone wall
Engrave our story on which line
I want to see through the endless sea
The death knell rings in the fog of the distant town
What do the elves of Silvermoon City look like?
In which direction is the druid totem in
The story is always so long
You said that happiness is in the distance, and we will wander together
The king of Stormwind stepped into battle
Wait for him to marry me as a bride
The night is always so long
You're not by my side, and I'll sing this song alone
Killing the Quartet, ten battles, ten victories, and mighty
The statue of the Shikachi stele in the Dark City
Stone square stone wall
Which line will we engrave our story......
"Rod, this song is so strange, I've never heard it sung like this, and where is the place in the song? Why haven't I ever heard of it?"
"This is once in a while I heard Lord Leo sing it himself, and then the adults saw that I was interested and taught me, maybe the adults have been to these places before, and when I become a big man, I will also take you all over the continent with me to see around, Rita!"
"Hmm~ but, but Rod I just hope you can always be safe, whether it's a big man I don't care about these at all, yes, I'm very happy to have you with me......"
"I will always be with you Rita, no matter what the circumstances are, I will not be separated from you, even at the end of the legendary continent, even if I fall into darkness forever and cannot break free, even if I die ......"
"Well, I believe you Rhodes, but don't say those terrible things, I will wait for you, accompany you, and ...... forever"
