"Sir, you haven't eaten for a day and everyone is worried......"

Segru carefully persuaded Kern Knight, as a student of the other party, he knew his teacher's relationship with Captain Cakeles very well, and was afraid that he would not be able to come out of his grief. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"You know what, Segru," muttered a haggard-faced Kern, who would never have imagined that the other man was talking to him if it weren't for the young man next to him who was hearing-friendly.

"Caqueles and I have known each other for thirty-two years, and although we have experienced countless life and death situations, we have always found an opportunity to escape. I always thought that death was not uncommon for our blood-soaked souls, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect him to be favored by the 'Scythe Bearer' like this......"

Tears welled up in his eyes, and Kern, who couldn't help but cry.

He didn't deliberately hide anything, and he didn't need to hide his weakness and sadness in front of the students who had raised and taught him for more than ten years.

"Mr. ......"

Segru was silent, his clenching gums tingling.

The young man had never seen his own teacher in such pain, and he felt it with empathy, and he was also awe-inspiring.

If the killers who ambushed the Knights of Cacale appeared in front of him now, he would definitely draw his sword and fight him to the death. But now is not the time to be ruthless, how to help the teacher get out of the grief as soon as possible is the first problem he has to consider.

"Sir, please pay your respects. ”

The young man forced himself to become stiff, the other party was not only his teacher, but also the captain of the entire knight team, so what the other party needed now was not to be relieved, but to be strong as soon as possible.

It is precisely because of this that Segru will ruthlessly interrupt Kern Knight's memories of the past: "Captain Kakeles has been martyred, he is a hero of the Empire, but what about you, crying does not solve anything, this is what you taught me at the beginning, have you forgotten?"

The young man shouted at his teacher in a questioning tone, but the corners of his eyes were already moist, and it was clear that such words did not come from his heart.

However, Segru had to do this, and the safety of the nearly 100 robes still needed Kern's decision, so he must not be affected by any emotions.

In order to get him out of his grief as soon as possible, the young man had to choose to stimulate him with words, even if he was his own father's teacher, even if he wanted to rub salt into his wounds.

Kern wiped a handful of wet cheeks with his calloused palm, and slowly got up, "You're right, Segru, I really shouldn't just cry like a woman, memories and memorials should wait until the mission is completed, let's go, let's go back to camp." ”

The knight's voice was dry and hoarse, and his steps staggered, and it was clear that his heart was not as calm as he had said. But that's enough, no one wants to force their captain to completely cut off their grief, they just hope that in this moment of confusion, Kern, as the leader, can force himself to be strong and help them point the way to the next action.

"Sir, I'm ...... I'm sorry, but ......"

Seglo followed behind his teacher, apologizing incoherently.

Kern stopped and turned to look at his student, "You don't need to apologize, Segru. I know those words didn't come from you, but I'll say you did a good job!"

"Now is indeed not a sad time, Caqueles has been martyred, even if it is just to prevent him from dying in vain, I will complete this mission successfully. ”

Kern did feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, but it had nothing to do with Segru's words, it was just that he was a little unacceptable to the young man's performance. Like many fathers, although they are happy that their children have grown up, they are also sad because they are becoming more rational.

"That's good," Kern smiled reluctantly, "I was worried, but now it seems that you can be considered a worthy successor." ”

"Sir, you ......"

"Listen to me," the knight interrupted the student's inquiry, "if I die, then you will take command of the entire knight squad and continue this mission!"

"What nonsense are you talking about, sir, if you want to hurt you, you can only step over the corpses that we are waiting for!"

"Don't be presumptuous, child," Kern was like an old man who had seen through the world, "this mission is not easy, I have taken it for granted before. ”

"If it was just an ordinary capture, there was no need to send a small team of knights to come, but not only did the reinforcements come, but they were all wiped out because of the ambush, all of which shows that this seemingly simple task involves a deep insider. ”

"You mean......" the young man clenched his fists, "the royal family didn't tell us the truth?"

"Damn, those Imperial moths are suspicious of us!"

"Presumptuous!" Kern scolded, "Have you fed the knight's dogma to the horse?, openly insulting the lord, and you still have the face to wear this armor?"

"Sir, I ......" Segru bowed his head in shame, years of knightly education had made him regard loyalty and honor as a part of his life, and if he wasn't worried about his teacher's safety and annoyed by what happened to the knight of Cacheles, he would never be so speechless.

"You still want people to trust you, is your loyalty worthy of the lord's trust?"

Kern, who has dedicated most of his life to the royal family and intends to continue to do so, cannot tolerate such disloyalty to the royal family. This is his own student, and if other knights dare to say so, now the scabbard has definitely been drawn to his face.

"I've disgraced you, sir. The young man held the hilt of his sword in his hand, bowed down and apologized, tears glistening in his eyes: "But they can't ...... Captain Caqueles is ......"

Before he was transferred to his teacher's side, Seglo had been working under Cakeles, and he had a very deep affection for this old boss who treated him very kindly, and the young man.

"You don't understand, kid. I don't know if he was moved by the stubbornness in Segru's eyes, or because he was distracted by the thought of his old friend, in short, Kern exposed the young man's rude behavior towards the royal family just now, and explained in a generous tone: "The royal family is not untrustworthy to us, but is guarding against other explorers with ulterior motives. ”

"Now, these enemies may have confirmed some of their guesses, or they may have lost patience to wait, but whatever the possibility is true, judging by what happened to Caqueles, they are ready to do it. ”

"That's ......."

"I know what you mean, but we must complete this mission, even if it costs the lives of all members of our team!"

Kern looked up at the east with a solemn expression: "The more dangerous it is, the more it shows the value of this mission to the royal family, for the sake of the empire, why should we be stingy with life and death!"

"Do you say, do we still have reinforcements?" the young man asked in a low voice, wondering if he was really curious, or if he just wanted to find an illusory psychological comfort for himself.

"It should ...... Without. There was no fear on the knight's face, only firmness and calmness: "Since they have torn their faces, the pressure on the imperial capital must be much heavier than ours, so the royal family may not be able to take care of us anymore." ”

"In this way, we will be in a very dangerous situation in the future. This is not the time for a child's temper, the knight squad can't do without a leader, if something happens to me, you have to integrate the whole team in the shortest possible time, and then continue this mission, understand?"

"Yes!" Segru nodded with difficulty, looking lonely.

"Don't look sad," Kern smiled as he rubbed the young man's hair, "I'm just saying this just in case, and something isn't going to happen." ”

"Who the hell will be our enemy?" Segru looked at his teacher with confused eyes, hoping that he would give him a clear answer.

"I'm not sure," Kern smiled bitterly, "It could be a real nobleman, or a temple power, or even a ...... Gods!"
