At the campfire in Springwater that day, Constantine spoke to Diana, comforting the young girl who had been betrayed by his beloved elder.

It's just that at that time, what he didn't expect was that not long after, a similar scene would happen to him.

He suddenly understood Diana's mood at that time.

If it had been Constantine a long time ago, he would have been sad, angry, and would have questioned Rhaegar incessantly.

But now, looking at Rhaegar sitting under the tree, he suddenly realized that he didn't feel anything, and his heart was very calm.

After going through so many things, Constantine is no longer the simple-minded little boy he was at the beginning.

"I understand your idea, but I don't accept it. Constantine shook his head, "I'm curious, what did Caulfield promise you?"

Rhaegar said indifferently: "He said that as long as I lead my subordinates to surrender to him and hand you over, we can live a normal life again, and we don't have to hide in the central mountain range like rats from now on." ”

"Your subordinates and comrades-in-arms, will they promise you?"

Rhaeggar's eyes flickered, "They'll understand me." ”

"Actually, I found out a long time ago. Constantine said softly, "Didn't you take me to see the names of those dead Winter Warriors just to weaken my determination to resist?"

Rhaegar was silent for a moment, "If you had decided to give up on the same day, there would be no battle today. ”

"But it's not possible now, many of my men have rekindled hope because of your presence, and if this continues, they will repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

Rhaegar slowly stood up and looked directly at Constantine, "Caulfield's army is already on its way to the Central Mountains, and in the face of reality, I believe they will make the right choice as I do." ”

"Chief, are you telling the truth?" a voice came from the woods.

Rhaegar was stunned.

Behind the woods, Tren and his men who had followed him for years were looking at him with complicated expressions.

Apparently, they had all heard what Rhaegar and Constantine had just said.

Roland stood under a tree with a calm expression.

Constantine glanced at him, "You called them over?"

Roland shrugged: "I think it's undoubtedly better to let them make a choice in advance now than to wait for Caulfield to get here." ”

Rhaegar calmed down at this time, and he said to Tren and the others: "Since you have heard, then I don't have to go around in circles, I don't think you need to work for the Elliottard family anymore, and Constantine's return will not change anything, and Caulfield will sooner or later attack the golden clover, and then our situation will be even more dangerous, so surrender is the only and best choice for us now, for the stability of Azeroa, Caulfield will not be difficult for us." ”

The knights looked at each other with hesitant expressions.

Rhaegar said, "Stand behind me if you want to support me." ”

A sigh came from the crowd, and Koopa stepped out and bowed apologetically to Constantine, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I respect you and appreciate the Elliottard family's contribution to the Duchy, but I support Captain Rhaegara's opinion. ”

Constantine did not answer him.

One after another, a number of knights walked up behind Rhaeggar.

Rhaegar has a high prestige among the rebels and has a very strong appeal, and his performance over the years has been obvious to all the rebels.

Compared to the principality, compared to the Eliotgard family, their true allegiance over the years was actually to Rhaegar himself.

Now, even Rhaegar had chosen to give up, and the rest of the Azeroya warriors suddenly felt that there was no reason to hold on.

Plus after so many years of fighting, they are also tired.

Tren's feet stood still as if they had taken root.

Seeing that the number of knights who chose to side with him was already more than half, Rhaegar breathed a sigh of relief, and he turned his gaze to Trun, who had been with him for the longest time, "Tren, are you also going to follow Constantine to his death?"

Tren mechanically stepped forward and walked towards Rhaeggar.

But instead of standing behind Rhaeggar, he stood in front of Rhaegar and looked at the Knight Captain he once admired with a strange look, and then slammed it with a punch.

Bang!

Rhaegar didn't react, and Tren's punch slammed into the bridge of his nose, sending him staggering back a few steps.

"What are you doing?" saw Tren move at their beloved Rhaegar as the knights standing behind Rhaegar exclaimed, drawing their swords one after another, and the sound of brushes was incessant.

Tren didn't seem to see the bright sword light around him, he just stared at Rhaegar who was covering his nose, "This punch, I fought for Huron." ”

Then, Tren took a heavy step forward and punched Rhaegar in the face, who looked a little sluggish.

"This punch, I hit it for Richard. ”

Tren let out a low voice, gritted his teeth, and slammed his fist into it, venting his inner anger.

"This punch, I hit for the dead Morse. ”

Every time he pronounced a name, he threw a punch.

The rest of the warriors wanted to step forward and pull Tren away, but the names that had passed away from Tren's mouth were like invisible chains, firmly binding their legs, making them unable to move their feet, and a look of shame appeared on their faces.

The owners of each name were their closest comrades-in-arms and recognized heroes in the rebels.

For the revival of the principality, they fought incessantly and died of exhaustion.

However, their sacrifice, in the end, was such a bleak ending.

Even their trusted comrades-in-arms finally abandoned the goal for which they had shed their blood.

Tren's voice grew louder, his eyes surging with rage that threatened to set the forest on fire, his fists raining down, and each name he yelled with a single ounce of strength.

"This punch, I fought for old John who blocked the sword for you. ”

Tren roared with all his strength, spitting out all the air in his lungs, then raised his arm and threw the most violent punch towards Rhaeggar's chest.

Hearing Old John's name, Rhaeggar's face turned a little pale, and he didn't resist the punch, and his body was smashed directly into the tree and fell to the ground.

Tren finally lowered his arm.

"I always thought you weren't a coward. Tren whispered, "Because you are a disciple of His Excellency the Grand Duke, you are such a great genius, and you are the most powerful swordsman in the minds of all the Winter Knights." ”

"Yes, I'm a coward. Rhaegar stood up, "But to die senselessly is not bravery, but stupidity." ”

"The teacher is gone, no one can fight against Caulfield, you don't understand how terrifying the power of the dragon knight is, even if I become a Sanctuary powerhouse now, I am not his enemy" Rhaegar looked at Tren coldly.

"Not to mention you, if he wants to, he alone can kill all the warriors in our valley. ”

Rhaegar spat out a mouthful of blood, "Besides, even if we can defeat the Vismal family, so what? Soon a new, more powerful Dragonvein will be sent to Azeroa to suppress us, and don't forget, there is more to the Dragonlance than just one Dragon Knight." ”

"So, let it all end early!" Rhaegar waved his hand tiredly. "You'll understand when you see Caulfield with your own eyes. ”

The earth shook suddenly, and the woods shook incessantly, as if thousands of troops were approaching the valley of the setting sun.
