Shrouded in pain and self-reproach, Antonio clung to Tali's body, feeling that the whole world was empty, as if some kind of power had pulled away from his soul and flew away with it, leaving only the empty shell.

"I'm sorry, Tully, I'm sorry......"

He muttered in his heart and on his lips that he had never felt so helpless in his life, and he suddenly realized that he was no different from the boy who had been attacked by bandits in that village, and he still couldn't get anything back in the face of death and love.

A hand lightly rested on his shoulder, Antonio's body trembled involuntarily, slowly raised his head and looked up at the owner of the hand with vague teary eyes, and saw a middle-aged man in knight's armor standing beside him.

"General Grammy?" Antonio looked at his former regimental commander in surprise, not understanding why he appeared here, only to see the general leaning down and looking at him with a soft face, "My child, this is the first time I have seen you cry sadly, what makes you cry when you are strong?"

"I ......" Antonio looked down at Tali who was sleeping in his arms, his nose was sour, and the old general stared down at Tali for a moment, then nodded abruptly: "I understand, you have lost someone who is unforgettable to you, but it is not worth your crying here." ”

Hearing General Grammy's words, Antonio's first thought swelled with anger, the general's seemingly ruthless words seemed to add a flame of anger to his sad mood, he looked up at the general angrily, and heard him ask calmly, "Remember, the duty of a knight?"

"Be loyal and protect ......," Antonio said, suppressing the pain and indignation in his heart.

"That's right," General Grammy asked, bowing slightly approvingly before he could finish, staring at his student and old subordinate, "then, when you have lost the person you were supposed to protect, what good is it to sit here and cry?"

"General?" Hearing General Grammy's words, Antonio was like an initiation, he suddenly raised his head to look at the general, and saw him smiling with his white beard on his chin: "The most important thing is to understand how you lose and how to avoid losing again, do you understand, my child?"

He smiled and glanced at Antonio's thoughtful expression, slowly stepped back, and said, "I think you'll understand, go ahead, be strong, don't cry for what you've lost, maybe, you haven't really lost her......"

With this serious voice, the figure of the Grammy General dissipated from Antonio's eyes, and the Knight Commander stared blankly in the direction where he disappeared, feeling a hand gently lifting his scattered bangs, he subconsciously held the soft and delicate hand, and lowered his head to see a pair of crystal beautiful sea blue eyes.

"Tully......" Antonio stared at the open eyes in amazement, unable to believe what he was seeing, he told himself that this must be a dream, and the Grammy General who had just disappeared from his face was the best proof of this.

However, the shouts of surprise from the people around him overturned his suspicions, and Catherine and Lisa screamed in unison, wiping tears from their faces as they knelt down beside Tully, and Murphy stood behind them, smiling with satisfaction, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Sister Fish is alive, Sister Fish is alive!" Lilith happily jumped up from Rog's arms, and the big stick bone in her hand hit Rog's head with a "bang", and she waved her hand to throw the big stick bone back, and flew to Tully.

"Hehe, I just said there shouldn't be a problem......" The great dwarf shaman hiding behind Rogge also smiled with relief, but before he could finish speaking, Lilith threw a big stick bone from the sky and knocked on his head, and the big shaman spun around with Venus in front of him, and he fainted on the ground.

"Thankfully, it's a big joke. Rog touched his bulging forehead, which had been beaten by Lilith, and grinned at Tali who was huddled in the middle of the crowd and smiled to himself.

"Thank you, thank you. Tali, who woke up, looked at everyone gratefully, hugged Lilith who threw herself in her arms and kissed her several times, Rogge hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Little Lori's leg and dragged her over, muttering in her ear: "Okay, okay, when the little oil lamp also has a limit, now is not the time to kiss you!"

He approached Antonio with Lilith in his arms and told Tali how the three of them and the Lantern God had infiltrated the Bugmen's lair, and how Antonio had killed the Bug Queen and brought back the Queen's Heart, during which Antonio stared at Tali silently, his eyes full of happiness, gratitude, and relief.

"Thank you, thank you for your efforts for me, you're not hurt, are you?" Listening to Rogge's words, Tali gave Antonio a grateful look on his face, and the Knight Captain shook his head silently, the happiness of the lost ones overflowing.

"It's good to see you again. For a long time, Antonio said softly.

Tali smiled, reached out to put her hand around his shoulder, leaned over and kissed his face, and unexpectedly a small head came up to block between the two, and the little lips were directly attached to Tali's cherry lips, everyone present was stunned for a moment, only to see Lilith laugh mischievously: "Kiss, I kissed!"

"Little villain, come here, tell you to make trouble!" Rogge raised his hand to fight, little Lori jumped up and ran out of the grass shed, Rogge jumped up from the ground and chased out, the people in the grass shed looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, Tali and Antonio stared at each other, showing a knowing smile.

With the help of Monica, the detoxified Tully, the group rested in the gnomes' camp for a day, and the next morning they said goodbye to the great shaman and the gnomes and prepared to leave in a canoe.

Just as they were about to leave the village, a group of gnomes who had just returned from hunting last night walked past them, and Rogge accidentally glanced at the prey that the gnomes had carried back from hanging from a branch, and a cloud of suspicion rose between his eyebrows.

He turned back to the Great Shaman, pulled him aside and asked, "You said before that you gnomes are gods of owls, that's why you're willing to help us, right?"

"Of course, of course!" said the great shaman, glancing at the little furball lying on Rog's shoulder.

"Can you tell me, then, why there are so many owls among the prey that your people have just brought back?" said Rogge, half-crouched down in front of him, his eyes like swords staring at the great shaman's painted face.

"This ...... Is there one?" the great shaman asked with a blank expression.

"Huh?" Rogge glanced at him, turned back to Lilith, and the little furball flew down into a little Lori and knocked the big shaman down, stuck around his neck and shouted, "Dare to eat owls, bad guys, ugly guys, kill you, kill you!"

The people around heard Lilith's shouts and gathered around, and the gnomes also rushed up and raised their blowpipes to aim at them to prepare to rescue the great shaman.

"That's enough, Lilith, don't fight!" Rogge reached out and pulled Lilith away, and pressed his winged blade against the great shaman's neck and threatened in a deep voice, "You'd better tell me the truth, what secrets are hidden under your lies?"

"No, don't do that!" the great shaman saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Actually, in fact, this is the case, I just heard the dwarf who was taken hostage by you say that you humans are very powerful, and you have brought a witch who can turn into an owl with you, so I want to use this excuse to gain your trust!"

"And then?" Rogge asked, looking into him with both eyes, "what happens after you've gained trust?"

"If you believe me, you may agree to kill the Zerg Queen!" said the great dwarf shaman's voice trembling.

"We gnomes have been bullied by the insects for a long time, we don't have the strength to fight them, the territory has been taken away by them repeatedly, so we hid in this small place, we hope someone can help us breathe!"

"You mean, Tali's poison doesn't need to be lifted by the Bug Queen's heart at all, you're using us!" Rogge said through gritted teeth.

"No, no, no!" the great shaman shook his head in panic and said, "The heart is indeed useful, although I have taken advantage of you, but it is also good for you, I just didn't tell you the truth, because I was afraid that you would retreat and refuse to go!"

"I see. Rogge nodded suddenly, let go of the dwarf shaman and straightened up, the great shaman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, before he could breathe evenly, Rogge suddenly put the winged light blade against his throat again, the big shaman screamed in fright, and said forgiveness.

"Do you think I'll believe you if you say that?" Rogge sneered and stared at the Great Shaman and said, "Your reason is not valid at all, if we choose to back down, do you tell us that your intentions will be the same, we will all give up on Tali, it is not affected by whether you say it or not!"

His cold face was close to the big shaman, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If there is anything you haven't said, think about it and talk about it, otherwise, when I stab it down, you won't have to say anything." ”

"Don't, don't, don't kill me, for my sake! I'll tell you!" said the great shaman in a hurried tone, "Actually...... In fact, the Zerg Queen has a characteristic, that is, the person who kills her will leave a scent on her body that only the Zerg can smell!"

"This smell will be tracked by the Zerg, as long as those people are still in the swamp, the Zerg will always hunt them down, which is why, in the swamp, few people dare to enter the Zerg lair to face the Zerg Queen, even if they kill her and leave alive, they will be chased and killed by thousands of miles......"

"Sure enough, it kills two birds with one stone......" After listening to the words of the great shaman, Rogge nodded with a sneer, and before he could make a follow-up decision, he suddenly heard a dwarf shouting in panic from the other end of the village in the distance: "Oh no, the worm man is coming, the wormman is coming!"

The gnomes present fled in panic when they heard this, the great shaman trembled with fright, and Rogge turned back to Antonio and said, "Give me your bag of dry food!"

The Knight Commander immediately tore off the bag of dry food and threw it to Rog, who tied the bag to the great shaman's body, patted him on the head with his hand and said, "For the sake of you saving Tully, I will let you live, if you can escape this catastrophe, I hope you can understand what it means to be cocooned!"

After he finished speaking, he left the great shaman and led everyone to the shore of the island in the middle of the lake, and at this time, the buzz of the insect man's wings flapping was already roaring.
