Chapter 60: Heroes
The same scene took place in every corner of the battlefield. Some cried, some laughed, some cheered, and some hugged each other. The huge valley has become a sea of joy.
In the midst of the celebratory crowd, there were some people who were just silent, out of place with the atmosphere.
That's three thousand tomahawk knights.
At this moment, they are like 3,000 sculptures.
As another group of celebratory Lulian knights sped past them, one of the tomahawk knights took off his helmet. He gritted his teeth and looked at the three Stevensons with an angry gaze.
"Phew!" he spat on the ground.
More and more tomahawk knights took off their helmets. At this moment, they are no longer the cold war machines wrapped in cold armor and just unconditionally carrying out orders.
They looked at Stevenson coldly.
They were waiting, waiting for the fate of the commander who had led them to the quagmire of shame. And they believe that even if Grand Duke Renault is far away in the imperial capital, that moment will not be too long.
Stevenson's face was ugly.
Ever since the demon's inexplicable retreat, he was stunned. You know, it was only ten minutes after he ordered to retreat.
Stevenson's bowels were all blue.
If he hadn't ordered a retreat then, now he would have been a hero of the empire. However, with a single thought, he not only missed this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but also ......
Standing here at this moment, Stevenson could already imagine the scene that Qianfu was referring to after the news spread.
There is no doubt that after this battle, Adolf and the others will become heroes of the empire and the entire human world.
Perhaps the Holy See and the other two empires will deliberately downplay or even ignore the impact of this battle. But they could not stop the spread of the news, nor could they stop the reverence of the imperial aristocratic circles for Adolf. Especially in the southern part of the empire, Adolf's prestige will skyrocket. There is no difference at one time.
And the right to speak is always in the hands of the winner. When the time comes, the self who stabbed them in the back at the most critical moment will face their merciless revenge.
They will crucify themselves to the pillar of shame in the posture of victors!
Thinking of this, Stevenson's eyes turned red. He knows. I have been driven into a dead end, not only is there not much way out, but there is not much time.
Soon, Charles would report the matter to Archduke Renault. And in less than twenty-four prayers, a letter would have relieved him of his military power.
Remorse, fear, and despair rolled and intertwined in Stevenson's heart. He stared at the surviving mercenaries. Especially the brunette boy who came out to the applause and cheers - all this was caused by these damned guys.
He hated them as much as Barnes Sr. hated them, nay, even more.
Next to them, Watts and Barnes Sr. looked like ashes. The undisguised angry gazes of the tomahawk knights, as well as the cheers of the crowd around them, were like needles that made them feel stinging.
And after the sting. It's hatred.
Old Barnes looked at Leo viciously, and he wanted to bite the murderer of his son to death. His own son died. This kid has become a hero, which makes his heart cut every time he thinks about it.
"It's not like that, it shouldn't be like this," Old Barno's eyes were red, "how could he possibly subdue a twelveth-level demon." Conspiracy, this must be a conspiracy of the devil. He made a pact with a demon. He is a pawn sent by the devil, a rebel, a heretic. He should be burned to death!"
The lords and nobles beside him all cast disdainful glances at Old Barno.
Such accusations are completely bloody under the anger and corruption. Even anyone with a little bit of brains knows it. If the demons' brains weren't broken, it would be impossible to give up their dream of almost getting their hands on it, just to plant a pawn in the human world.
At this time, the lords and generals led by Adolf had already greeted Roy.
"Once again, you saved Lulian. Adolf's mood was calm, he hugged Roy, patted him on the back, and whispered in his ear. However, the next sentence made Roy's eyes widen: "Boy, what do you think of Sophia, I'll marry her to you!"
Roy couldn't stop laughing.
Until he and Fano embraced, Adolf was still on the side: "You think about it." β
The successive hugs, thanks and congratulations made Roy a little overwhelmed.
Ever since he walked out of the Blood Sacrifice Passage, he had been in such a state that he had not even had time to stop and ask what had happened. And with the dispersion of the mercenaries and the arrival of the noble lords, Roy's eyes suddenly froze when he fell somewhere.
In the crowd, he saw a beautiful face.
Eretia.
Roy's heartbeat skipped a beat. He hadn't seen Eretia since they parted two years ago. Even when he later came to the first training camp in the Muni City branch, his identity was revealed, and there was a distant time and space between him and Elethea.
In addition to the long distance between Lulian and the imperial capital, it was also because of the time that Eretia had become a disciple of the Holy Maiden Temple.
While the royal family of Solan was stabilized by the support of the Holy Maiden, Elethia was also strictly constrained by the Holy Maiden. Every day, apart from studying and cultivating, there is almost no other life.
Later, with Augustus' promotion to Paladin, and the conflict between Roy and the Lanris family became public, it became a luxury for Ellecia to come to Lulian to meet Roy.
It wasn't until after Roy's "death" that the Virgen of the Holy Virgin's restraints on Eretia became a little looser. Later, the demons invaded, and no one cared about her. Otherwise, even if Roy is still alive, I'm afraid that if he wants to see Eretia, he will also go to the imperial capital.
What Roy never dreamed of was that Ellethia would appear here.
At this moment, Eretia was walking towards Roy.
......
"May I sit down?" said a face on the walls of Borabel Castle, an upside-down face obscuring the stars at night.
"When ......" the shy little handyman jumped up all of a sudden, blushing and said, "...... Of course, please be seated. β
......
"Roy. β
"Huh?"
"Can you not use honorifics on me?"
"Absolutely!"
"Roy, you're a very interesting person. β
"But they all call me Roy the Fool. β
"Then they must all be fools, you are cunning. β
......
"I have a fiancΓ© who is also named Roy. He's missing, and even I've never seen him. β
"If you hate martial arts competitions, you can refuse. Whoever wants to bully you, I can protect you. β
"Thank you. I am very happy. I didn't find the person I was looking for, but I met you at the end of the trip. Roy is a good name, I love it. β
"It's a pity I'm not him. β
"It doesn't matter. In case one day you become him. Or if you become someone better than everyone else, remember to come and save me. β
......
"So, Mr. Roy. From the moment you have the Fighting Ring, you will automatically become the glorious Royal Knight and the guardian knight of me, Princess Eretia of the Saint Solan Empire. β
"Your will, my sword. β
......
Looking at the person in front of him, Roy's ears echoed the voice of the year, and on his shoulder, he seemed to be able to feel the hardness and coldness of Eretia's long sword.
After a brief moment of distraction, the corners of Roy's mouth curled into a warm arc
