"When joy trumps desire, that's love. ”

- Edward L

Jack, who had just taken off his armor for a few days, was fully armed again, and Warren also changed into his gorgeous armor of bright silver, a black horse and a white horse. Jack has black hair and black armor, slightly curly hair just to his cheeks, and wants to hang a long sword, Justin carved silver armor, double swords hanging on the sides, and long pale blonde hair draped around his waist.

Behind the two of them, Sparrow, Tigers, and Carson lined up, and Sparry was followed by a team of knights wearing Northridge armor, and the traces of plastic surgery on the armor showed the iron will. Behind Carson was a team of knights, and the delicate Silver Moon Kingdom carved forged armor showed their elite. Behind Tegus in the center are five black coffins carried by soldiers, Sals's coffin is the first, and Zax and Jenny stand on either side.

Jenny, who was playing in the backyard with Zax that day, cried all day when she saw Sals's body, and the tragic death of the old uncle, who had been kind to her on the road, made Jenny frightened and sad.

A large group of men and horses drove on the wide stone road of the Rhine, and everyone was looking at it at the same time to make way for it, the solemn atmosphere of the whole team made people retreat, and the residents of Loland, who were accustomed to those wearing golden armor and cloaks, saw such a team for the first time, the knights' equipment on one side looked more sophisticated and gorgeous than the gold armor guards, and the knights on the other side made everyone feel unangry and arrogant.

A splendid carriage avoided the road and stopped on the side of the road, a pair of slender hands opened the curtains, revealing a delicate face, an angular face and two sword eyebrows, a pair of blue eyes with brown curly hair, but there was a magical affinity on the heroic face.

"Are these two students from our academy?" the man asked.

Another old face in the carriage probed and said, "It should be this year's freshmen, and school is about to start, isn't it, what's wrong Mr. Edward, do you know each other?"

"Nope. Edward smiled and shook his head: "But this scene seems familiar. With that, he lowered the curtain.

Such an honorable funeral ceremony even Jin Jiawei also consciously expressed his respect, from the specifications and patterns, these two young nobles are sending their own knights, this respect for their own soldiers makes Jin Jiawei also envy from the bottom of his heart, and when they go out of the city, the Jin Jiawei have saluted to offer their respect.

The coffins and fanfare out of town were just to show respect for Sals and others and to vent their grievances to someone, but in fact several people were still to be cremated, and the ashes would be taken back to Northridge to be handed over to their families. Outside the city, there were already soldiers who had bought piles of firewood and stacked them neatly, making it look like a small house from a distance.

The soldier put the corpses of Sals and the others on the pile of wood, and poured barrels of fire oil down, everyone looked solemn, and after the soldiers finished pouring the oil on it, Sparry lit a torch and handed it to Jack, who was in deep thought.

Jack frowned gloomily, reached out to take the torch, took two steps forward, and looked at the five coffins on the tall pyre. Turning around, the soldiers stood there in a neat line, Sparrow, Tigers, Jenny, Zax, Carson, Justin, all looking at Jack.

Shaking his head, Jack said, "I can't do it." ”

There was an uproar of muttering in the team, and several people looked at Jack with puzzled expressions, not understanding what the situation was when he suddenly said that he couldn't do it.

"What?" said Sparry whispered to Jack, squeezing his eyebrows and motioning for Jack not to mess up the occasion.

"I said I couldn't do it!" Jack said with a frown, his eyes sharpened, and he repeated in a loud voice, "We set out from Horn of Fury a month ago, and my father commissioned you to escort me to the Rhine. I know that many of you here have a very deep relationship with my father, and you will give your life for me. I have never treated you as subordinates, but as elders. ”

Jack paused, his eyes scanning the faces of everyone he could see, "I may not know the names of each and every one of you, and I may not have fought alongside you like my father, but my father arranged for you to come to the Rhine with me. He warned me that it could be bad, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Sals died, along with the four Northridge warriors, they didn't die on the battlefield, the bows and crossbows were nailed to them, and those bastards didn't even have the courage to fight them head-on! I still remember what he said before he rushed out, "Spari, run, run with the young master." ”

Jack looked at Spari with red eyes, and Sparrow was also excited and burst into tears, and he couldn't stop wiping the corners of his eyes with his hands, this situation was also repeated in other fighters, even Justin and the Silvermoon Defenders he brought were moved.

"I'm only fourteen years old!" Jack continued, "I may not know how to be a good head of the house, I may not be a good leader, I will try to do it, we have the experienced Spari, we lost Sals but Teggs joined us because of this. ”

Jack said and looked at Tigers, who quickly bowed slightly. Jack continued, "I know that some of you blame Tegus for the deaths of Sals and several of his brothers. But if I suffer this calamity for the sake of doing what is right, I will bear the brunt of it. I can't do it, I can't forget this hatred, I can't ignore Sals and their lives are taken away like this, the gods have eyes, we must avenge this the most, sinners will bear the wrath of the warriors of the Northridge, the blood of my blood!"

"The blood of my blood!" the warriors of the Northridge shouted in response, and the momentum made the entire earth tremble.

"What is the blood of my blood?" Justin asked Carson with a low head tilt as he turned to light the pyre.

"A word commonly used by Northridge people to show affection, the meaning can be my brother, my friend, my child, etc., in order to reflect the intimate relationship, I don't know the specifics. Carson replied.

"Have you ever experienced this?" Justin frowned and couldn't tell what his expression was, "I mean, he's only fourteen, my God, I can't say anything like that, he talks like a father." ”

"Well, how to put it. Carson pouted, "Your Highness, you have made a very good friend, congratulations." ”

After lighting the firewood while talking, Jack turned around, and Justin gave a reassuring look, and Jack nodded knowingly.

Raging fires fluttered across the wasteland, and what the warriors could not wait for was the clarion call home.
