At this moment, Russell and Edward stood still in the sky and confronted each other, and Russell's sharp eyes made Edward feel a sense of fear in his heart for a moment.

I am the lord of the abyss, the noble blood of Count Edward! How could I be afraid of such a mortal's imposingness!

Edward yelled, immediately suppressing the cringe in his heart, and instead appearing in his heart was the anger of being humiliated by Russell again.

If Edward had been attacked by the enemy on a normal day, he would have fought to the death with his opponent.

But his current condition is indeed very bad, and half of his body was cut off by Russell's sword, which caused Edward's strength to be greatly damaged.

Edward has been able to survive until now and become a small lord in the abyss, he still knows that he can't be rash at this time, so it's better to temporarily retreat and heal his injuries!

Edward stared at Russell intensely, and at the same time, he puffed up his bloody wings and flew backwards, retreating sharply to the outer walls of the royal city.

Russell saw Edward retreat decisively, and he didn't immediately pursue him.

Because Russell could clearly feel that Gail around him was about to die, his vitality was weakening rapidly.

Russell slowly descended to the inner wall with Gale in his arms, and in order not to hurt him again, Russell gently placed him on the ground.

Seeing this, Carlos and the others wanted to rush over to inquire about Gael's situation, but Russell waved his hand at them and motioned for them not to approach here.

"Don't come here yet, Gail has something to tell me alone!"

Although everyone was very worried about the current situation of the two, when they heard the firm tone of Russell's words, they involuntarily stood in place and waited for no further progress.

The reason why Russell forcibly did not let his companions come near here was because when Russell landed, Gale grabbed him by the collar with his weak hands, and at the same time whispered to him that there was one thing that had to be said to him alone.

Russell took a closer look at Gail's injuries and couldn't help but frown.

Because Gail's injuries were so severe, his entire chest was pierced by a bloody spear, and blood kept gushing out of his body.

If it weren't for Dawn relieving his injuries, Gale might have been completely killed by now!

However, even if Russell did his best to control the light of the morning light to heal Gail's wounds, it was almost too late.

Originally, when it was in the imperial capital, the perfect dawn had great power, but in order to destroy the magic circle connecting the two worlds, the dawn caused it to suffer great damage, and its strength weakened a lot.

Now it's too slow to heal Gail's life.

It can only keep Gale on the line of life and death, barely maintaining his consciousness and supporting him to say his last words.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Gale coughed violently, a large amount of blood coming out of his mouth, and his life force was quietly draining.

Since Russell and the others can see Gail's injury, Gale also knows very well that he is afraid that his time is running out.

Based on his observations of Russell over the past few days, Gale can be quite sure of his guess.

For the sake of his people's safety and to release the guilt in his heart, Gale decided to tell Russell all the facts.

"Here you go!"

Gail struggled in pain on the ground and placed what he had been holding in his right hand in front of Russell.

Russell immediately took the item from his hand, only to find that it was a bloodstained badge with cracks on it.

The coat of arms was covered in blood, and Russell did not recognize what it was at first.

But when he zoomed in on the badge and looked closely at the pattern on the surface of the badge, many past events immediately came to his mind.

Isn't this the coat of arms of his family that has been placed on the wall above the parlor in his home all year round, symbolizing his family?

Russell vaguely remembers that a few months ago, this badge was brought to the battlefield by his father before the expedition, and disappeared with his father's disappearance, why did it appear now in the distant snow tribe?

Russell was so confused about this coincidence that Russell couldn't force an association between the two that were so unrelated.

Gail opened his hazy eyes, a smile on his lips, and told him what had happened.

"You must wonder why this badge is in my hand, and now I will tell you what happened.

When I first heard your name, I had a guess in my head, and the reality turned out to be full of coincidences.

It turned out that the two of us had become acquainted because of the war, but in the end, I still have to give you an explanation.

I'm sorry to tell you that your father, Baron Paul, has died in battle.

Baron Paul, his last battle was fought with the reconnaissance force of the Snow Tribe I led.

Baron Paul was brave, but a few dozen of them could not defend against the attack of our thousands.

Therefore, this badge was found by my men while cleaning up the battlefield, and they presented it as a trophy to me as a commander.

I can say that I am your father-killing enemy!"

At this, Gail's emotions became agitated and he coughed violently again.

Russell's mind went blank when he heard Gail's candid words as if he had been hit by five thunderbolts.

He had been reassuring himself that his father had only been caught up in the conspiracy, and that he might be, no, must still be alive somewhere else.

Unexpectedly, his father had died in the war a few months ago, just like tens of millions of ordinary nobles.

And now his father-killer is in front of him, the prince of this tribe, his comrade-in-arms who fought against the abyss invasion together, but he doesn't know what to do!

At this time, Gail noticed that Russell's face was dark, and knew that he was now carried away by this sudden fact, and did not know how to face the harsh reality.

Gail smiled bitterly, he didn't have much time left, and he had to continue telling the rest of the story.

"Russell, I know I'm dying, so I'll tell you the secret I've been keeping deep in my heart!

For some reason, after I first got this badge, I could always feel someone whispering in my head.

I was so tormented by the sound that I almost broke down, so I tried to communicate with it, but I didn't expect him to actually connect with me.

He claims to be the Lord of the Abyss, but I'm not sure if he's Edward, but he helped me get on the line with Duke Nicholas, who was also plotting to seize the imperial power at that time, and let the two of us work together to summon the forces of the Abyss and then overthrow the Empire!

At that time, I was also too impulsive, I had just taken over the power of my father, and I was bent on reviving the Snow Tribe, so I agreed to his request, who knew that the situation was constantly changing, and both sides suffered heavy losses, resulting in the current miserable situation.

By the way, I forgot to mention that in order to avoid the Empire's investigation, I sent soldiers to bury your father on a nearby hilltop.

Believe me, I really don't know about the conspiracy behind the abyss and Nikolai, I just want my people to free themselves from the oppression of the Empire and make the reputation of the Snow Tribe resounding throughout the continent.

Now I'm really relaxed, and I've finally said all the facts, this badge has traveled so many places, but it's really ingenious!

Russell didn't expect that there were so many secrets in it, he was a little dazed, and looked at the badge in his hand without saying a word.
