Chapter Fifty-Seven: Who Heroes Leave Alone?

When Duke Wensha heard this, his heart was shocked, although this son recognized it at the time to hold him hostage, but remembering that Lu Jingzhi risked his safety on the battlefield to feint and attack the enemy camp, so that he could have a chance to escape, he felt that Lu Jingzhi was very good to him. Because there is no need to find someone to carry the black pot for himself, Lu Jingzhi, this kid, is so pleasing to the eye when he thinks about it.

And there is a good reason for that. Duke Wensha nodded, "According to what you said, tomorrow I will give him a celebration banquet and make him a new hero." The son is a hero, and Lao Tzu is no different! The more he spoke, the more he felt that he was right, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Ice Sword Sauer and Gaso were speechless when they saw that Lord Duke was actually so involved in the play, and they would put in which role wherever they spoke. Just now, he was shouting that he would punish Lu Jingzhi and let him bear the charge of defeat for himself, and then he became a father who was proud of his son. The two great undead looked at each other speechlessly, and hurriedly found an excuse to retire under the pretext that the Duke was in a good mood.

"It's all your fault!" After leaving the duke's parlor, Ice Sword Sauer whispered to old Gaso, "If it weren't for your idea, maybe tomorrow that kid would have been beheaded by the adults." ”

"No, it won't. "We just lost a high-ranking knight, and we need another high-ranking knight to take his place. You are not capable enough to command two legions. ”

Hmph! Ice Sword Sauer left a cold snort and walked away quickly.

"Your Excellency the Magician, what an amazing fellow. Gasso muttered to himself as he walked, "Where is the Duke's opponent, the Ice Sword Sauer is only worthy of a single blow." Perhaps, even my old bones can't compare to his young man. As he spoke, he disappeared into the darkness.

At night, the hall on the first floor of the castle is as brightly lit as day. In addition to the original long dining table, two large dining tables were added to the hall, which was enough to seat all the knights and infantry in the castle, and in addition, all the personal knights and infantry of the high-ranking knights, as well as the knights' servants, were also invited. But human slaves and zombie minions are not eligible to participate.

In the innermost part of the main banquet table, Duke Wensha and Lu Jingzhi sat together, originally this seat was only qualified for the Duke to sit, but in order to highlight Lu Jingzhi's honor, and because Lu Jingzhi was his only son, he was arranged to sit next to the Duke. The first seat on the left is the High Knight Ice Sword Sauer, but the second seat on the left is vacant, and the first place on the right is Gasso the Wise, and the second seat on the right is also vacant. Then came the knights of different statuses, the infantry and the servants sat at the other two tables.

Everyone saw the two empty seats under the first one, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts, who can be worthy of those two empty seats, could it be that the two great undead with status have not yet arrived? Seeing that everyone was surprised, Duke Wensha stood up with his wine glass and said, "Thank you very much for coming to my banquet." As you may have seen, there are two empty seats at this table. The seat on the left is reserved for our army's new high-ranking knight, a new great undead, and a warlike warrior, and he is my sonβ€”" As he spoke, he pointed at Lu Jingzhi, who was still sitting, with a finger that did not hold a wine glass, "Your Excellency, Lord Lu Jingzhi. ”

The knights who went out on the expedition had long known about this, and Lu Jingzhi had defeated the enemy twice in this war, and beheaded (although not himself) the enemy's high-ranking knight Gomez, which had been recognized by all the knights and infantry who participated in the battle. But the knights and infantry who stayed behind couldn't help but be surprised, it was incredible that a human who had not yet completely transformed into an undead could get the status of a great undead and become a high-ranking knight. You must know that even a witch doctor like Gasso is only a wise man in the end, and he has not become a high-ranking knight.

The most surprising thing is the knight Belgo who captured Lu Jingzhi and Tangtang, just two years ago, this kid was still a slave he captured from the way to collect taxes, but he valued his mind and promoted him to an infantry (called a ghost pawn by humans), and then this guy was promoted to a high-level knight by chance all the way, how can I see him in the future. Could it be that you saw a boy who had always called himself an adult deferentially, and he had to bow down and call him Your Excellency? If only he hadn't been arrested at that time?" thought Bergo with annoyance. But after thinking about it again, since I have an old relationship with this kid, let's make good use of it, if you call Your Excellency a few more times, you can keep your fiefdom, and even exempt him from taxes for another two years, and it will be no problem to call him Your Excellency every day. Speaking of trouble, in fact, thinking of this is just two blinks of an eye, Bergo smiled and applauded first.

The custom of clapping came from Italy, where the knights of the Holy Roman Empire, after receiving instructions from their lords, often clapped their palms in approval. Bergo's applause was undoubtedly in support of the lord Duke Wensha and the newly promoted high-ranking knight Lu Jingzhi, and the other knights also applauded. Lu Jingzhi stood up to express his gratitude, and then continued to listen to Duke Wensha say again: "In addition, this empty seat is a close friend, companion, brother, and comrade I lost in the war. He ...... "At this, the Duke of Winsha suddenly stopped, he forgot how old Gaso taught him, and vaguely wanted to praise him, but he couldn't remember a word of what to say.

Seeing that the duke's face slowly became a little embarrassed, Lu Jingzhi confirmed that this cheap father had forgotten his lines, quickly stood up, helped the duke to sit down, and said, "Father, please mourn, the past cannot be restored...... No, I'm sure Lord Afaron will soon be back in our city's Soul Tower, and in a few hundred years' time, he will be your best friend and subordinate again. ”

The Duke felt a sense of gratitude for a moment, and if he remained silent, he would definitely be exposed. But as soon as Lu Jingzhi said this, his silence just now was interpreted as too sad and he couldn't cry. He patted Lu Jingzhi's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "My son, you can tell me for me." ”

Lu Jingzhi nodded and said, "His Excellency Afalong is a brave, upright, and loyal high-ranking knight in our army, and his actions will serve as a model for us, allowing us to follow his path all the way forward and never retreat." ”

The more Ice Sword Shao'er listened, the more gloomy his face became, what would never flinch, if he could take a step back, even if he stepped back a little, and let the black ripples or shock waves hit the duke's body, maybe not only did he not have to die, but he might also replace Lu Jingzhi as the heir of the lord. No, if the lord had been killed at that time, maybe Afaron would have joined forces with him and seized this territory. Even if he doesn't join forces with him, it won't be bad to divide it evenly then. He thought to himself, a sinister grin unwittingly at the corner of his mouth.

Duke Wensha didn't know what unsightly thoughts the high-ranking knights around him had, and when he saw that this passage made Lu Jingzhi speak roundly, he put his mind at ease, stood up and raised his glass: "Afalon is the pride of our army, and we should mourn him with grief." As a sign of heavy grief, let's drink to our heart's content, cheers!"

It's cold. For the sake of memorial ...... Many knights looked up at their lord in amazement, and most of the foot soldiers were at a loss for what to do with their wine glasses. Afaron is known as a master of war, that is not indiscriminate, he leads his troops to do war, even if he is at a disadvantage, he can maintain flexible tactics to reduce losses, and even in defeat, he can let his subordinates survive much more than his peers. As a result, Afalon had an extremely high reputation among the knights and infantry. At this time, seeing the lord express his emotions so absurdly aroused the dissatisfaction of many knights and infantrymen.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" Gasso whispered to the side, "You forgot, posthumously, posthumously." ”

Duke Windsor suddenly came to his senses and said, "Before you drink this wine, I declare that Your Excellency Afaron will be posthumously appointed as the permanent Legion Commander, and the legion he previously led is still called the Afaron Legion. After he finished speaking, seeing that the reaction at the scene was not enthusiastic, he added more chips on his own initiative, and said, "In addition, I announce that I will posthumously award the title of Afaron God of War." ”

Old Gasso's old face darkened, and he secretly scolded the lord for being an idiot, the title of God of War was retained from the ancient Roman period, and each army could only give one title of God of War, once it was granted, even the empire recognized it, which was a great honor in any realm, and most of them were reserved to stimulate morale, how could it be wasted like this? And if you really want to award the title of God of War, it is also to be solemnly awarded in front of the throne, holding a scepter, and conferred it in a solemn atmosphere, how can you say it so easily at a cocktail party?

"Father, this is the sword of His Excellency Afaron. Please give honor to this sword" Lu Jingzhi wittily took out his sword, this sword looks more precious, but whether it is Afaron's or not, no one knows. As a master of war, Afaron did not attach much importance to his weapons, and his sword was also relatively casual. At this time, Lu Jingzhi took out a sword and claimed that it was Afaryn's sword, and everyone naturally believed it. First, everyone has no impression of His Excellency Afaryn's sword, and secondly, they can't see it very clearly from a distance, so they naturally regard it as Afaryn's sword.

A farce finally came back at a juncture that got out of control, and the old Gaso's hanging heart finally let go. Mu Ran felt like a fool as he watched Duke Wensha pretend to give the sword the title of God of War. Who the hell is the idiot, the duke or himself?

"Lord Duke!" one of the knights stood up when he saw that the ceremony was complete, and said, "Allow me to boldly ask, where were you when Lord Afallon was fighting?" Lu Jingzhi knew this bold knight, his name was Busen, and he was Afaryn's deputy. As soon as he said this, many knights immediately raised their heads and waited for the Duke's answer.

The Duke of Windsor's anger was raised to the extreme. The performances just now were all to appease these defeated guys, make them happy, and let them continue to stay by their side to serve, and they even had blind guys to expose their shortcomings.

What did the Duke answer, and did the knights accept his answer?

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
