14 Determination and Duty

Erin and Parrett patiently listened to Klan and Ulf tell about Sevia's memories, and since they were unable to experience them firsthand, they didn't understand anything about it, but they generally understood that Milo's sacrifice was necessary to save all the planets and most of their lives.

"The plan is for Milo to take the 'capsule' in the misty jungle, take the opportunity to return to it when the 'capsule system' approaches our planet, and then go to the Overwatch and press the self-destruct button. And then—" Ulf snapped his fingers, "there will be no more 'curse of the stars'. But pressing the self-destruct button meant that Melo couldn't return to us in any way, so ......"

"God of All Sources...... "Erin whispered.

Parrett suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute! Milo, how many people can you take with you to that 'Watchmen'? ”

"There are four of them," Milo replied calmly, "There are four hibernation capsules on the cruising spacecraft, which can ensure that you will not eat or drink for more than three months, and you will only need to sleep for a while." ”

Ulf added, "Don't forget that there is also an earthling (Wang Chen) and a giant black shadow warrior (nanobot) on the Watcher, so I will arrange for three reliable elites to follow you, rest assured, they are ready to come to their senses." ”

"Can't you arrange for a few people who can teleport magic to follow and teleport back?" Erin put forward her opinion, which made Parrett's eyes light up on the side!

But Kelan shook his head rarely and said: "Judging from the current spell, it takes at least four people to cooperate to launch the teleportation magic, but because the distance between the Watcher and our planet is too far, and the relative position and direction are not known, the possibility of teleportation magic failure is very high, even a powerful magician like the wind chime cannot complete such a long-distance teleportation in the absence of precise positioning." Kelan's face was gloomy, and she knew that it would be difficult to reach a perfect solution in this matter.

Kran's answer sent Erin and Parrett into despair, and Irene's eyes glistened with tears again......

At that moment, Klan suddenly said to Ulf, "I'll go with him." As soon as the words fell, everyone in the room looked at her, Milo and Erin looked surprised, and Parrett opened her eyes wide, looking completely incredulous.

Ulf didn't show any expression, but asked lightly, "Then who will protect your hometown of Komet during the three months that you rushed to the Watcher?" His words also made Erin and Parrett suddenly realize that when Milo set off, it was also the day that the planet would be "harvested", and during the three months that Milo took the cruising ship to the Watcher, the giant black nanobots would be killing on the planet.

"My adopted son and family have always taken it as their duty to protect the country and its people, and I believe in their strength and will. There is also the Green Dragon Mercenary Order, which will defend Komet to the death, and they will fight to the last soldier. Kelan said lightly, but there was firmness and tragedy in his tone.

"Kelan, I'll go too!" Parrett stood up and shouted, "I'll protect them - with my hammer!" With that, Parrett waited expectantly for Ulf and Koran to respond—the former ignored him, while the latter motioned for him to sit down first.

"Whew-" Ulf let out a long breath, "then I'll arrange another worthy ......"

"Count me in!" Finally, Erin said this, she was resolute, her expression was calm, not impulsive, but very rational to make this decision.

Milo panicked: "Erin! No...... You ......" he stammered to stop it, but only to get a grim look from Erin—

"Milo Enteman," Erin said contemptuously, calling out Milo's full name, "I remember your indecision and blame-shifting behavior in the face of the Sand Spirit attack in Windwalk! What, you're going to do it all over again this time? ”

"It's not the same thing!" Milo retorted, "Erin, you are still young, try to live, and the days to come are still long!" His voice trembled, clearly not wanting Erin to make sacrifices with him.

"Have you forgotten that we were born and died together in the misty jungle and opened our hearts? Do you think I'm going to leave you alone to face death? Even if you want to put an end to your sin, don't forget that there is someone who loves you and is willing to die with you! Erin's words made Milo feel ashamed and embarrassed, but he still tried to convince Erin not to choose to sacrifice herself so easily.

Milo changed his strategy and persuaded the other two instead: "Kolan, Parrett, you don't have to do this at all, maybe the people who stay on the planet to defend here will play a bigger role?" ”

Kran saw through Milo's thoughts, she closed her eyes, put her hand on her chest and said, "I am not doing this for you, but for my husband, and it is his last wish to break this curse, so—" she opened her eyes, "I also want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to participate in the action of breaking the curse myself." ”

"Kelan, I'll go too!" Parrett is still the same sentence.

The two men left Melo speechless, but he still had to say—

"Hahaha......" Ulf suddenly laughed, breaking the embarrassment and stalemate on the scene, "Okay, four warriors, thank you for saving me the job of finding the three daredevils, then it's decided first, and the four of you will go to the Watcher ......"

"Wait ......" Milo didn't want to make such a hasty decision-

"Milo Entekoman," Ulf called out his full name, "Miss Akay is wholehearted to you, can you cherish her as a responsible man." Somehow, Erin didn't hate Ulf so much when she heard this.

"Don't say anything cold, it's—" Milo argued.

Ulf interrupted in time: "You know, there are still many people on this planet who have to fight those huge black monsters, and I am one of them, so I don't say anything about this matter." He didn't use a strong tone, but it made Milo realize the reality and say no more.

Ulf smiled and said, "Okay, then it's decided." Four warriors, four friends, it's my honor to meet you, I ...... Forget it, I won't say it's pretty, let's make specific arrangements then! ”

Kelan got up and said, "Hey (ai↘, the same below), I'll listen to your arrangement then." Parrett, we're leaving. ”

(Kelan pronounces "hey": ai↘ means yes, this is her mouth fetish)

Parrett looked dazed: "What? So when are we going to go and destroy that watcher? ”

Kelan looked at the ceiling and calculated: "Probably this month next year, the day when the purple comet will visit the Solushen Plains again, it will be the time for us to set off. ”

"Oh, yes...... Next year......" Parrett scratched his head and said, the end of the blood just now was all gone.

……

After saying goodbye to Klan and Parrett, Milo still wanted to persuade Erin, but the other party didn't take the topic head-on at all: "Okay, I'm going back to the bedroom to rest, you can sleep on the chairs and floors in the living room!" With that, she went into the bedroom and closed the door. However, judging from the tone and attitude of her speech, not only was she not angry, but she also looked a little relaxed when she let go of her burden.

Milo knew that he could no longer stop Erin from dying with him – or with his beloved. When he looked back, he immediately saw a scene in the living room that made him angry and funny: Ulf had put together the few chairs he had put together as bed boards to lie on!

"What do you mean by that?" Milo asked angrily.

"O prisoner guarding me! I'm going to take you to trial tomorrow morning. Ulf said confidently, "The undead in Tum City don't feel bad sleeping on the floor, right?" ”

"You ......" Milo wanted to accuse him of making plans without permission, but considering that it was a matter of time, he didn't want to argue about it. So I turned off the lights and found a corner against the wall to get ready to sleep.

"Hey, undead!" In the dark, Ulf said.

"What more do you want to ask?" Milo replied with some impatience.

Ulf sighed and said, "Actually, I also want to go with you to see what the heavenly world is like." ”

"But you still have to command the army to fight against the 'harvest', and it would be irresponsible to leave like this."

"You're right," there was a hint of regret and helplessness in Ulf's tone, "sometimes I think about living an ordinary life, but my busy work quickly distracts me. ”

"You don't look particularly busy." Milo scoffed.

Ulf chuckled softly: "I'll also find some special jobs to adjust, otherwise I would have been driven crazy a long time ago!" But ......," he said again, "this is my destiny and duty, and I am willing to give my life for it." Just like you, you are obviously ready to become enlightened, but there are also people and things that you are reluctant to do, people are always so contradictory, I am afraid that sometimes even death can not really liberate people. ”

"So the content and outcome of the discussion just now were planned by you a long time ago?" Milo heard what he meant.

"Not exactly, I really didn't expect this result, especially Miss Akay's attitude. I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, she has become so mature and strong. "When the harvest begins, many people will die, and I believe that both you and I hope that more people will survive, so ...... I want to get more power to save everyone. ”

"What else is needed?" Milo was a little curious, with his status as the commander of the Imperial Army, what else could he not get?

"I can't command so many people by myself, so I need some competent men, but there are still too few people who are really talented and experienced...... You know, in the misty jungle, there is a sinner who, although heinous, is also a talent that is enough to turn the tide. ”

Milo knew he was referring to the Duke of Chauffy, the sinner who had indirectly killed Heidi Triester.

"If you can get into the misty jungle and rescue him, I guarantee that the fighting strength of the Imperial army will ......" Ulf did not continue, and the silence and silence continued in the darkness until they both fell asleep.

……

When the morning light shines through the window, a new day begins. Erin got up early and went to the living room to find it empty. There was a note on the table: "We'll be back after noon." Milo. The innocent girl shook her head slightly, and without worry or apprehension, began her morning prayer.

At the harbor on the other side of the city, Ulf led Milo to the shore where the huge breakwater was located.

"Why are we here? Didn't you go to a court-martial? Milo wondered, he had thought that the place where he would be judged should be in a more formal place.

Ulf did not answer, but continued to lead the way, leading Melo to the top of the breakwater, and not far from them there was an old man sitting on the edge of a raised stone wall looking out to sea. On the empty breakwater, there were only three of them.

The waves crashed against the breakwater, splashing white waves, and the sound of howling wind, crashing waves, and the chirping of seagulls were mixed together, and there was no stopping for a moment. The waves hit the body and face, removing the feeling of warmth and making people feel refreshed and comfortable.

The two came to the old man, and Ulf motioned for Mello to stand aside, and then stepped forward and knelt down on one knee to salute the old man: "Your Majesty, I have brought him here." ”

Although he had already noticed that the identity of this calm old man was not ordinary, Milo's heart was still shocked-

- This old man is the current Emperor of the Spallow Empire.
