Adulthood: War Chapter 44: Last Words
Only a few fighters in the team were slightly wounded, and the rest of the fighters were unharmed......
As I listened to the report of the warrior beside me, I looked at the corpses of the elves scorched by the flames in the distance, and there were no survivors in the team of the Captain Xijie except for the warrior who had come to inform us and the warrior who had just been healed by the shaman.
It's tragic......
Looking at the corpses of dead warriors lying on the ground one after another, I sighed with a heavy heart.
Not far away, there are many corpses of various animals and monsters that have been ruthlessly killed by arrows, and most of them have lost signs of life... Even if there were, it was just dying.
The elves who have just died under my magic are responsible for all this......
I'm ...... Avenge them?
"Captain Tut, please come here!!Captain Xijie, he has something to say to you!!"
While I was still thinking about something, a sudden urgent voice next to me pulled my attention back.
It was the shaman in the team who spoke to me, and his expression was very anxious.
"Let's go. ”
I nodded cautiously and strode over to the position of the Warrior Commander of the Hijjah.
Lying on the ground, Xijie's current physical condition is very bad, the blood on his face has turned a lot, and the arrow wounds on his body have not healed......
Suffice it to say, he, the captain of the Xijie warriors, was in terrible health at this time......
"You're here?" said Xijie, who was lying on the ground, with a tired smile when he saw me.
"Well, I'm coming. I crouched down and whispered to Xijie, who was lying on the ground and was not in a good condition.
“...... If I had arrived sooner to support you, it wouldn't be... This is the case......"
Looking at the pale Xijie, I said to myself, my voice was not loud, but all the fighters behind me could hear it.
"It's not your fault...... If you want to talk about responsibility... It's my decision if... I don't fight the elven advance forces alone... Maybe it won't be like this at all... Haha~ That's really ...... The world is unpredictable. ”
Xijie was a little surprised to hear my self-reproach, and when he saw my slightly apologetic face, he smiled and said to me very gently.
"Captain Tut, please save Captain Xijie!!" Suddenly, the shaman standing behind me called out to me.
Save him, save Shyjay?
If it can be saved...... I want to save too!!
The question is...... The vital organs in his body have been badly damaged! And it's been so long!If it hasn't been that long!! maybe there's a way!!!
"I'm sorry, I can't save him......" I whispered with my back to the shaman behind me.
"Liar! How could you not save the Commander of the Xijie Warriors with that level of magic you have unleashed?!" the shaman asked me in a loud voice as I heard what I said.
“...... Then you tell me how to save him?!The vital organs are damaged, and it has been so long!This kind of injury is completely impossible to heal unless the elders come to treat the Xijie warrior leader himself!!"
I was silent for a moment when I heard the questioning behind me, and then I responded to the shaman's questioning with reason.
――――
To be honest, I hate this situation......
It's a similar situation to when I worked at a company in my last life......
Ahh!!!h
――――
"How could it be ......?"
When the shaman heard my response, he covered his face with his hands as if he couldn't accept it for a moment.
For a while, the atmosphere became very cold, and everyone didn't know what to say, and I included......
"Tut I have something to say to you......"
Xijie, who was lying on the ground, broke this strange atmosphere, and he said with a steady expression on his left hand, which he held with his right hand.
"What do you want to say to me?" I asked, quizzingly, looking at Xijie lying on the ground.
"Tut, you're strong. Not only do you know how to do swordsmanship, but you also use magic...... This is really an eye-opener for me, I have never seen that warrior captain use magic!hahaha~ cough !!"
Sijay looked at me and said in a calm tone, laughing excitedly when he said that I would use magic, but then coughing violently.
"Actually...... it's nothing," I whispered as I looked at the pale Xijie with his head down.
"I said Tut...... Don't take yourself too seriously!!ahem!!"
Hearing my whispers, Xijie shouted at me as he suddenly spoke loudly and coughed out of his throat again.
Lowering my head, I raised my head again after hearing Xijie's words, looked at my face, and Xijie breathed a deep sigh of relief.
"Your biggest flaw is...... Don't take yourself too lightly, and don't forget that you're a warrior commander!" said Xijie as he sat up slowly, looking at me and speaking firmly.
"When the feast of the season is bathed... I'm sorry, I may have said it a little harshly. To be honest, I don't deny that teenager's dream, but looking at that teenager... I can always see my old self......"
Xijie looked at me apologetically and talked about the unpleasant things that happened at the Mu Ji Banquet.
"I don't think you said that on purpose. Listening to what Xijie said, I said in a calm tone.
"Hahaha~ You guys know a lot...... By the way, he's your apprentice, right? Ahem, what's that boy's name?"
Thinking back to what happened at the banquet, Xijie looked at my face and asked frankly.
"His name is Darren. I smiled and looked at Xijie.
"It's... Good name!hahaha~cough!" After learning the young man's name, Xijie laughed heartily again.
"I watched the battle you fought with those elves just now, and it was beautiful! Especially when you use magic, the flames burning in the sky are really ...... It's gorgeous!!"
Xijie described the battle to me, and when he talked about the scene when I solved the elves beautifully, he looked at me and nodded affirmatively.
"But... Ahem! You... In battle... There is a bad place...... Ahem, ahem!!, that's not decisive enough...... You seem to be hesitant, and that will most likely kill you in a future battle!"
Xijie looked at me solemnly and picked out my shortcomings in the battle.
"Ahem, ahem...... Tut I have something to say to you, you have to listen carefully!" said Xijie as he leaned into my ear.
"(whispering) When facing future enemies, you must kill the goodness in your heart! Become a true warrior commander! Slaughter all those enemies without leaving !!"
Xijie pointed his index finger at my chest and leaned into my ear and whispered, as if there was a decisive mood in his tone.
Kill the goodness of the heart?
Become a warrior captain in the truest sense of the word?
"Ahem, ahem!! Hahaha~ How could I say such embarrassing words, this is not like me at all!!"
As he looked at the two remaining warriors in his team not far away, Xijie said to me with a sincere expression.
"Yes, I will!" I affirmed to Sage.
After a short while, I suddenly felt that the breath of Xijie in front of me had become a little weaker.
When I saw the look in his eyes, I instantly understood something.
His dull gaze, tired expression, and pale face made the battle-hardened goblin warrior look extremely haggard, and now he could be said to be in the midst of a storm and ready to extinguish the candlelight.
Suddenly, Xijie leaned into my arms, and he couldn't speak out loud at this point.
"Tut...... cough cough !!... Time is on your side, I ...... I hope you can continue to fight for our race in the future!for the protection of ...... Your own people go to fight!!"
Xijie, who was leaning into my arms, spoke to me in a small but firm voice, his right hand clutching the leather armor he wore on my body at the moment.
"I will...... Captain Xijie Warrior. Looking at Xijie in a trance, I said sadly.
“...... I hear you say that... I'm relieved......"
After a while, about a few minutes, Xijie said to me in a low voice, and as he finished speaking, he grabbed my right hand on my leather armor and fell limply for a moment.
"Captain Xijie?"
"Liar, isn't it?!"
"Damn! all those damn elves!!"
"No, how could Captain Xijie be?!If you want him to die...... Then you might as well let me die!!"
"That's not true, is it?"
"Hahaha~ In this way, there is another vacancy in the position of the warrior commander!Here comes the opportunity!!"
With no more signs of life for Xijie, a variety of voices rang out behind me. Some of these voices are sad, some are unwilling, some are angry, and some are voices that can't hold back their true thoughts......
――――
Heras - Goblin Calendar: Spring March 1507.
The day...... Goblins: One of the twenty-five warrior chiefs, the leader of the Hijay warriors, who died in battle with the elven advance forces......
――――
Looking at Xijie lying dead on the ground, I grabbed his still warm body and stood up.
The warriors behind me were amazed when they saw this, and the two surviving warriors of the shaman and Xijie's team suddenly felt a strange emotion in their hearts when they saw me carrying Xijie's corpse.
"What are you doing here, Captain Tut?" asked the soldier who had reported to me about the battle with him pretending to be calm.
Listening to his question, I couldn't help but feel speechless.
"What else can I do? I'm going to take the Captain Xijie back and bury him properly, and you will bury the bodies of the dead soldiers in the Xijie Warrior Captain's team here......
I held Xijie's corpse as I turned to look at all the warriors and said calmly.
“......”
After listening to what I said, the eyes of these warriors who looked at me changed, and their eyes were full of respect at this moment.
"Finn!"
With my shout, a muscular gray wolf sprang out of the forest, a few bloody hairs on its beak.
It let out a cheerful howl when it saw me, and I sat on Fin's sturdy back with Sijer's corpse.
"Everyone, I'll take the Xijie Warrior Commander back first, and I'll leave the rest of the work to you!" I said to the soldiers behind me.
"Hmm!"
"Got it!
For a moment, these warriors nodded at me and responded to me with a firm face!
"Okay! let's go Fenr!" I rode Fenr with Sijay's corpse in one hand in my hand, toward the Goblin Army Camp in the middle and outer forests.
――――
Soon after I left, the warriors buried the bodies of the dead soldiers......
"I didn't expect the Tut warrior captain to pay so much attention to the dead soldiers......"
"yes, I don't feel the same way he compares to the other warrior captains. ”
"It's different, why is it different?"
"I'm referring to his approach and attitude towards the fighters in his team, although it's a bit weird, but it feels good~"
"I said you two, stop chatting!, come and help!!"
"Okay!!
