Chapter 64: Choice
"Oops~!"
Aaron secretly said badly, and swung a sword with all his strength to slash at the soldier!
But seeing that this soldier seemed to have accepted his fate, he actually gave up his futile resistance directly, raised his head and laughed: "It's useless, the signal flare has been sent out, you will definitely not be able to escape the siege of our large army........"
The sword shadow in the sky directly squeezed the soldier to pieces, completely drowning out his next words, but it couldn't make Aaron's heart feel a little lighter, only to see him look at a red firework that was blooming in the sky with a solemn face.
The whole fireworks take on the shape of a crimson orchid, and the whole looks gorgeous, beautiful, dazzling with a hint of lingering ........
Bloody!!!
"Aaron~!The soldier who released it just now was....... Flares?"
Angeli looked at Aaron with an anxious face, obviously thinking of the true effect of this firework, and there was a hint of trembling in her crisp and melodious delicate voice. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Aaron nodded solemnly: "That's right, the soldier should have released an emergency signal flare, there must be their troops nearby, and after they see the signal, they will definitely rush directly in this direction." ”
"It's just that our wagon team isn't fast enough, and it's not far enough from here........."
Thinking of this, Aaron took a deep breath and instructed Angeli, "Lily, you run back to the carriage at once, and let Steve leave me a horse at the exit of the Ring Forest, as for me.......... I'm going to find a way to hold them back!"
"No~!How can I let you go alone!!"
Angel exhaled urgently, and resolutely objected: "All this is my fault, if I hadn't been discovered by them, if I hadn't asked you to deliberately walk away for a distance, maybe you would have succeeded in preventing him from sending a flare!"
As she spoke, Angel couldn't help crying, and scolded herself with tears in her eyes: "I'm just an idiot! a stupid idiot who is hopeless!! if it weren't for my willful seizures, none of this would have happened!"
"How can you bear the consequences for me? I am to blame for everything..... It's all my fault..... It's all my ......."
Just as Angel was bowing her head and constantly blaming herself, she suddenly felt that she was being embraced into a warm embrace, and a calm and gentle voice of relief came-
"No, you can't be blamed for all this!"
Aaron stroked Angeli's silky hair and explained softly, "Lily, you don't have to take everything on your own, and even if you don't find it by the soldier, the soldiers are clearly scattered searching for some target—with the slow speed of our carriage, there is no time to get out of their range. ”
"When the time comes, our wagon procession will also be discovered by them, and will be overtaken by their large force outside the Iron Ring Forest, which is the worst situation for us because the wagon team has lost the cover of the forest environment. ”
"You don't have to blame yourself anymore, getting back to the carriage quickly and getting out of here as soon as possible with Viscount Steve and the others is the greatest help to me. ”
Aaron comforted Angeli, whose eyes were red from crying, and smiled confidently: "There is a starwind lake on the way to the kingdom of Is, almost half an hour away from here, where you are waiting for me - and I will go and hold back the pursuers for a while, lest they directly catch up with the huge wagon procession, and when the time is almost over, I will catch up with you on a fast horse." ”
"With my strength at half the peak knight level, it is almost impossible for an ordinary soldier to stop me in the environment of the Iron Ring Forest - don't cry anymore, make me feel like I'm really going to die........"
Aaron made a joke in a mocking tone, and finally stabilized Angeli's mood, seeing this, Aaron finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, leaned close to her ear and whispered-
"Lily, don't worry, I'll be back. ”
"Hmm~, since we've said it....... Then you are not allowed to regret it~!"
Angel reluctantly smiled, and said the same words that seemed to be the same as when she had asked Aaron to walk away some distance when she was 'relieved' earlier—
The same agreement, the same no remorse........
However, this time, there was a hint of crying and worry in her tone, declaring the struggle and anxiety in her master's heart, and also showing her true nature that had been disguised under the haughty and indifferent exterior.
However, Angel had no other way, she knew that her greatest help to Aaron at this moment was to leave this place with Steve and them as soon as possible, so that Aaron could rest assured that he could fight alone-
"I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you....... You must not regret it~!"
Agore cried out with tears in her eyes, and turned again and ran quickly in the direction of the carriage, leaving only a trace of crystal water in the air.......
Aaron looked at Angeli's departing back, sighed reassuringly, slowly lifted the blood-stained cross sword in his hand, looked at the reflective blade of the sword reflected a handsome and charming face, and the whole person spoke softly, muttering a word-
"Even if I fled immediately in the carriage with Angeli, the enemy would surely immediately track down our carriage convoy without being disturbed, and then we would be forced to engage the enemy without the cover of the forest!"
"According to the situation of the Kalas Empire, even an ordinary army has an astonishing number of soldiers, not to mention that the armor on those three soldiers looks to be of good quality, and it definitely belongs to an elite army. Therefore, if we are surrounded and suppressed in the field, even if we can win the final victory, we will definitely pay a huge price. ”
"It's better to let me, a knightly powerhouse that ordinary people can't stop, to create a commotion and distraction, hinder them from finding the carriage procession, and instead focus on me, so as to achieve the goal of delaying the enemy's large army. ”
"Although Viscount Steve's strength is good, but with a dark wound, he is not as good as a regular knight, let alone my strength - calling Steve here will drag me back. ”
"Besides, with Steve's personality, if I call him over with me to stop the enemy's large army, I'm afraid he will most likely leave me and run away at a critical moment, or he will not have enough strength and cause a bunch of unexpected troubles. It would be better to let Steve protect the carriage and leave together, so that I can rest assured of Angeli's safety. ”
"So, my actions should be the most reasonable choice at the moment.........."
Speaking of this, the corners of Aaron's mouth couldn't help but smile bitterly, because he already knew in his heart-
These words .......
It's just a 'reason' to tell yourself.
The most 'reasonable' choice should be for Aaron to ride a horse and leave the Ring Forest directly, and abandon Angel and others in this place, so that they can use their lives to block the footsteps of those enemy troops, which is the most 'rational' choice.
I already knew the most 'rational' choice, but I still couldn't make such a move, as if something was pulling my fingers, and I couldn't help but make the current decision........
"When 'sanity' encounters something irresistible, does it also make seemingly 'stupid' choices?"
Aaron muttered to himself in his heart, shook his head with a wry smile and turned his gaze, taking a deep look in the direction of Angelie's departure, and the next moment, he turned and walked into the shadows of the dense forest, like a warrior about to go to the execution ground, but there was no trace of hesitation or hesitation on his face.
Because, Aaron already knew the answer swirling in his heart-
"Perhaps, this is the 'emotion' that overcomes 'reason'.........
