Blair. Simon. Reinhardt.

In Aaron's memory, this was a young man in his twenties, his brother.

In his memory, he had a rectangular face, his face was always black and red, and he was very strong, so that people could know that he was a strong warrior at a glance.

But nowadays......

The moment he saw Aaron step through the threshold, Simon struggled to sit up from the bed, his pale face twisted with pain, his silver hair without a hint of brilliance, and thin beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, as if every movement was a great torment.

"Brother!" Alice's exclamation, pounced on the side of the bed. Simon smiled wryly and nodded, stroking Alice's hair with pity and reluctance.

Follow.

"Aaron, I didn't expect it...... It's really you! Missing Reinhardt family member, my younger brother. ”

The moment I first saw Aaron, surprise flashed through Simon's pupils, but it was more excitement.

Because he was anxious to sit up, his hand on the edge of the bed, his body shook violently, and his face made a painful expression.

"My younger brother, as the rightful heir to the House of Reinhardt. There is no time left, and as your older brother, I must command you...... Inheriting the position of Grand Duke of the North, I can see from Kurush's body that your experience is extraordinary...... Remember, the people of the House of Reinhardt will take up the sword of revenge. Poof--"

Because of the excitement involved the injury, Simon spat out a large mouthful of blood, as if it had reached the last moment of running out of oil, his body and limbs were convulsing violently, but he still held his last breath, pointing to the cross-sword on the wall, and the coat of arms that symbolized the Grand Duke, and stared straight at Aaron. "Promise me, my brother. You're going to protect Selena, and Alice. Don't let them get hurt in the slightest. ”

Aaron wanted to use the power of the Holy City to help Simon. Unfortunately, the data told him that this was not possible.

"The goal is to be a leader who cannot join the Holy City."

The Reinhardt family has a total of two princes and two princesses, Selena in the Saimen, who is slightly older than Aaron, but has also disappeared for a long time because of the war.

With Alice's sobs in the background, Aaron took two steps forward and removed the crosssword that hung on the wall. Back to it. He looked Simon squarely in the eye, his gaze determined. "This is a sword of revenge, and it is also a sword of kings."

"I will use it to reclaim every inch of the North, and cut off the head of the Duke of the West with my own hands...... The people of the West will pay the price for this war. ”

Kulush wears a badge for Aaron, symbolizing that Aaron has become the only legitimate ruler and guardian of the northern continent.

Above the badge, it was an upright roaring ice bear, with a crown above the cross of two swords.

Blair. Simon. Reinhardt.

Due to a relatively serious sword wound. There is no chance of a cure.

At the moment when the wound just burst, watching Aaron inherit the title of duke, while relieved, the light in his eyes began to fade, and he lost the last trace of silver brilliance. Who would have thought. The Reinhardt family in the north will lose two grand dukes in a row within ten years.

………………

Many of Aaron's memories of Simon are blurry.

Because in 'his' memory. Simon likes to travel, so even the original owner of the body, and Simon has a relationship. It's also more distant.

The body of the Grand Duke of Simon, which was placed in a free-standing sarcophagus, remained in the basement and was displayed with the successive dukes of the Reinhardt family. The entrance to the catacombs is under a block of floor in the Grand Duke's study. Compared to the previous Grand Dukes of the North, Simon's funeral was a bit shabby. Not even a few nobles were willing to participate.

Merit and deeds serve as the standard of funeral, and this is the custom of the people of the North.

As a failed Grand Duke, his funeral goods were only a pure white shroud, not even a carol.

He has the courage to fight, but he has no talent for commanding. If the new legal heir is not a member of the Reinhardt family.

Then the fallen leader, who had been defeated 65 times, may have been spurned by his subjects and thrown into mass graves. Thankfully, it didn't happen.

The Duke of Simon's funeral ended in a hurry, and Aaron took off his black cloak and stepped into William's hospital room, for a legendary commander, and a brave, resolute, proud knight.

Aaron thought that the loss of William was a heavy loss to his heart.

"William, long time no see!"

Seeing each other again, Aaron vaguely remembers the original scene.

"Solid as a rock, immovable as a mountain!"

Speaking of the Reinhardt family's family motto, a middle-aged man with a cold face, lowered his eyelids, with a little indifference that rejected people.

Including the data reflected from him, "10 stars for weapon mastery, 10 stars for horse combat mastery, and 12 stars for general potential." ”

This is a rare talent, an elite to speak, but unfortunately not a Spartan, and once, for a time, Aaron was depressed by such a fact.

But today, Aaron sees William as a more intimate mentor.

"Lord Duke!"

William grinned, his face pale, his eyes bloodshot, and his lips badly cracked from blood loss.

His hair was slightly messy, and a pair of sad eyes kept staring at the badge on Aaron's chest, bursting with a warm brilliance from it.

Upon inspection, he found that his trouser legs were empty, except for the same sword wound as Simon, and he had lost both legs from the knee down. Through such injuries, Aaron can see the fierceness of the battle.

"The target is a general-type talent, who is proficient in weapons at 10 stars, cavalry combat at 10 stars, and general potential at 12 stars."

Getting this set of data made the corners of Aaron's mouth outline a smile, he first glanced at Ulrika with tears on her face, and then glanced meaningfully, holding his grandson who was born not long ago, and the legendary commander William who knew that his life was coming to an end but was reluctant.

Aaron raised his hand and swapped the two wood-based elves forward. Under Ulrika's exclamation and William's puzzled gaze, he pulled him directly from the bed.

Yes, this is perhaps a belated appointment.

"William, I will grant you the rights and duties of the general of the Spartan Empire, and at the same time give you the honor of becoming a warrior of the Void Holy City, perhaps, your appearance will change, and for the magical power, perhaps, you will have some difficulty accepting. But, from today onwards, you are a sub-god, and in return, you will have to fight for the Spartan Empire! ”

With a wave of his hand, the two wood-based elves disappeared in place with William, leaving only three fading crystal symbols.

There is no doubt that becoming a sub-god and the Void Holy City will help William recover from his injuries and become an Imperial general. The Wood Elves will take him back to the Greenway Holy City first, and after teleporting between the two Holy Cities, they will arrive at the Void Holy City.

…… It is believed that in the near future, William will follow the expeditionary army of the empire and re-enter the northern continent. This gave Aaron a glimmer of anticipation.

"Don't panic, Ulrika. Your father will not only die, but he will be reborn as a subgod! Become...... A veritable imperial general. ”

Feeling the time limit for summoning that was getting closer and closer, Aaron suddenly paused, looked at Worf and Yolan, and decisively ordered, "It's time to return to Sparta, lead five thousand wood elves back to the empire, and help Kratos gather an expeditionary army." …… Take my order to the Alpha Forest and beg Queen Gogo to preside over the affairs of the Empire, while I will stay here and wait for the arrival of the Imperial Expeditionary Army! ”

In addition to the above orders, Aaron also summoned two thousand Spartan Holy City warriors, and with him he was out of the summoning battle limit.

Together with Kulush and his army of 2,000 archers, a total of 4,000 men remained in the royal city of the North, Cliston.

……

As a sub-god, once they get out of the Holy City's summoning time, they will completely lose their connection with the Holy City, unless they rely on walking to return to the Holy City and re-establish this connection.

The advantage of this is that you will be able to stay in the place where you are called forever. Even if the distance spans the entire savage continent.

The disadvantage is that losing the connection with the Holy City means losing the divine power of the Holy City to retreat from the battlefield in seconds and heal in seconds.

Although, the four thousand Holy City warriors did not lose their skills. But they will be wounded and killed in battle just like everyone else. (To be continued......)
