【Mission】Section 4 York (4)

After I became the deputy commander, the commander took me and Marshall and Clark to find the Sanctuary, and what I saw and heard about the Sanctuary broadened my knowledge, but when the god talked about the "Son of God", I felt as if I had heard it somewhere. We www.biquge.info gained new powers from the Sanctuary, but when we returned to the Knights, the dragon of Nathan Silvermane, the former deputy head of the Knights, rioted, and many people in the Knights, including Nathan, died, and it was Marshall's undissuasive use of forbidden spells that quelled the dragon, but it caused another, even more terrifying nightmare...... That's when I began to wonder, "Can we really harness dragons?"

Ten years after joining the Order, Danko took all the core members of the Knights, except me, to St. Lucas to carry out the special mission assigned by the Church, it was not that I was not chosen, but I also began to resist the mission of the Church like Roy back then, and coupled with the unclear relationship between me and the Church, I instinctively wanted to stay away from everything related to the Church. However, Roy did not resolutely not go this time as before, but followed the action with interest, maybe each of us has grown. As I was not involved in a secret mission, I was chosen as the commander-in-chief of the vanguard when the order to defeat Miller was handed down, and I thought that the opportunity to surpass Danko had finally come!

"I heard that you've been doing well in the past few years, and you've all been the deputy head of the regiment!" Jack smiled at me as I met him at the local tavern.

"I really didn't expect the Church to interfere with the Knights to that extent," I shook my head and asked him again, "It's too condescending for you to be the captain of the guard in such a place!"

"I've told you before that I'm not interested in that kind of thing, I just like to be free and uninhibited. He took a sip of the mead, and then suddenly asked me in a serious manner, "York, are you happy?"

"What?" I was taken aback by his sudden question, and my glass was halfway up before putting it down.

"You said before that joining the Order to protect the people is your mission, and now that you have been with the Order for ten years, do you think you have fulfilled your mission well? Are you happy?"

I thought about how many of the things I had done for the Knights over the years, how many people I had killed who had sinned and not died, how many things I had done that were contrary to the protection of the people, and how many things I had left the Cross family in order to escape from the Church, but in the end I was still in the clutches of the family. I was silent in the face of Jack's question.

"Forget it, I won't ask you these questions now, I'll tell you something," he said, putting away his seriousness, and turning back to his previous chattering and laughing appearance, "You're here to gather the troops in the camps this time, and we've all received orders." I'm going to lead fifteen hundred warriors north with you as the captain of our Tamo here!"

"Really, that's great!" I rejoiced, and I couldn't contain my excitement at the thought of being able to fight alongside Jack again after so many years.

"You're the Commander-in-Chief, don't look like a hippie smile, get me serious!" Jack said and punched me in the chest.

Three days later, in the port of Nice, in the northern part of the continent of Kaos, Jack and I boarded the ship of the crusade against Miller. I was surprised to find that Gaca, the former steward of the Cross family, had been appointed lieutenant to my ship, and I thought to myself that the Cross family must be using him to spy on me, but he took the opportunity to secretly tell me that he had not served the Cross family since the year I joined the Order, and that his current church status was nothing more than a null and void. Jack, in order to avoid any suspicion of my relationship with him, insisted on not sharing the same ship with me, so I appointed him captain of the second ship, and agreed that neither of us would die until we landed. When dealing with the Aquikas, I could easily deal with them with them with only the use of psychic magic, but I chose to use Ember because my dislike for the Church and the Cross family made me not want to use the things that proved my identity anyway, and I would rather die than be bound by the Church anymore. Thankfully, I didn't die, Marshall arrived in time to save me, and when I landed with the soldiers, I didn't let him go with our vanguard for Jack's safety, but let him stay and take care of them. However, when I recovered from the side effects of using the forbidden technique, the commander who appeared next to me suddenly told me that the remaining 10,000 warriors had disappeared along with Roy, and my heart tingled, and I regretted leaving Jack behind, and it was my responsibility if anything happened to him.

Now, I learned that Jack was safe, but I didn't know where he was, so I could only follow the remaining troops to the so-called "Holy Capital" with the message of "three days' journey" written by Roy. Walking in front of me was the reincarnated boy of the god of war, Regulus, whose sister who had suddenly appeared as the reincarnation of the goddess of the moon was close to him. Thinking that not long ago he was just a stunned boy on my ship, but now he has become the most prominent existence in our group, I can't help but feel that this god really likes to joke on fate.

"I've been walking for two days, so I should be there tomorrow. "Clark, the calmest of us except Danco, said behind me, he had already suspected my identity, which kept me from talking to him much for the past two days.

"What happened to Roy and the warriors will be known tomorrow. Matt said behind me.

"I've been wondering what XXXX means when I can't see it clearly on that stele. Danke, the regimental commander in front of me, suddenly turned back to us and said, "Maybe that message has been modified to deliberately prevent us from seeing the key parts, but does it really refer to the end of our trip?"

"Whatever the hell, we can't come to a conclusion anyway, so it's better to go to the finish line and see it first!" Marshall replied simply and crudely.

"The Finish Line...... It seems that this is also where Miller's Castle is located, which is the enemy's base camp, can we really compete with the enemy with this little force?" Andy said in the back.

"Doesn't it mean that our army of 10,000 people is one step ahead, and if they are also at the end, then the battle situation will be slightly more favorable. Hughes said.

"That's all just speculation, if they're not at the end of the line we'll be finished, what do you say, York?" John asked me suddenly.

I was momentarily speechless when faced with their discussion about the way forward, because I kept thinking about what they would do to me if my identity was revealed, and I didn't know how to answer. At this time, the god of war boy named Regulus suddenly turned back to me and said, "Sir York, you have not been in a state for the past few days, and you are not at all like the strict and decisive commander before. ”

"Battle...... Regulus, you ...... You are serious, stop calling me a chief. Although I didn't want to call him the god of war, I still unconsciously almost blurted out the word god of war, maybe my fear of his power was at work.

"No, I'm just a little ghost who hasn't experienced war, I still have a lot to learn, and that curse-like power of a past life is nothing. From the first time I met you, I thought you must have had some extraordinary experience, and you must have carried something very heavy, which also gave you some kind of strong ambition, so I know that you were not as cowering and hesitant as you are now. Now I have a lot of questions in my head, and I am also troubled by all kinds of things, Alyssa's affairs, Koyales's affairs, the gods of war, and the affairs of Hades, these things have made me almost lose myself, but you are my role model, and you should not be like this. So, whatever you are holding back now, cheer up and lead us forward!" He seemed to be giving a speech in front of everyone, but what he said was still reasonable, and he didn't think that this kid's verbal effort in persuading others was much stronger than his unstable strength.

So, under the words of that god of war kid, I no longer think about those missions, the Church of Light and the Cross family, my identity and Jack's whereabouts, I am the commander-in-chief of Vasilian's first army in this war, if there is no follow-up reinforcements, I will be the commander-in-chief of the whole army, I should play my role to lead the soldiers out of the predicament, instead of shrinking my head here for a little thing. So I stepped forward and said to Danke: "Commander, I am the commander-in-chief of this war, so please let me lead you next!"

I saw Danko's long-lost smile, he consciously took a few steps back, and then pushed me to the front of the troops: "I'll leave it to you, Chief York!"
