In the conference room, Marley and Deyun faced the latest news about the ice valley on the table, both with black faces.

After being silent for a long time, Deyun slowly spoke: "I will report the situation to the Knights and wait for ......."

Before he finished speaking, Marley was already angry and slapped his hand on the table and stood up, pointing to the information on the table and said, "Knights! Knights! You know the Knights! With such a large number of goblins, why haven't your knights moved at all? Can only rely on mercenary groups? Even if you want us to die, can you do a better job of intelligence work? Can we do more to prepare and reduce some casualties? The lives of your knights are fateful, but aren't they of the mercenary group? ”

In the face of Marley's questioning, Deyun was only silent, the Knights did not give much information about the goblins, and the situation was indeed too urgent this time, and she herself did not expect such danger.

Marley: "Deyun, I know you belong to the Knights, but do you care about your companions as well?" This time, even Captain Edan was seriously injured in bed, but until now, we haven't even seen a single figure in the Knights. ”

Deyun said bitterly and slowly: "Marley, I didn't expect things to develop to this point, and I don't know what happened here, but don't worry, I will definitely report the situation truthfully and let the knights give an explanation." I am sorry and heartbroken for this incident, and I will correct it in the future. Before a new mission comes along, I'll arrange for everyone to take a good rest. ”

In the face of Deyun's apology, Ma Li was also helpless, in fact, he himself knew that Deyun really couldn't do anything about this matter, even if he did it again, everyone should make the same choice. He just...... It's just that everyone who feels sorry for the mercenary group.

With a heavy sigh, Marley stopped asking, and the two of them were like this, one was silent at one end of the table, and suddenly Gailian rushed in from outside the door and shouted, "Lista has woken up!" ”

Marley and Deyun immediately showed joy on their faces, and they got up and hurried towards the Magic Research Institute. Since Adam and the others returned, Adan, Karui, Oscar, and Fiona, plus Lista, who was brought back by Hawke, were all unconscious, and before that, only Fiona and Karui woke up, and everyone else was still unconscious.

Moreover, because of the severity of the injury, it is very dangerous for several people to be in a coma, so it is a happy event for anyone to wake up. Especially Lista, after all, he alone solved numerous goblins.

In the Magic Research Institute, Lista looked at the group of people around him, and he was really a little uncomfortable, so he could only answer the questions they asked in a wooden manner, and this situation continued until the arrival of Marley and Deyun.

Marley drove everyone away with a straight face, wanting to give Lista a quiet resting space, but everyone had no choice but to leave.

When everyone left, Marley pulled a chair and sat on the side of Lista's bed, looked at Lista and couldn't help but show a proud look, and said: "Good boy, it's really powerful, give us the face of the mercenary group leader." ”

Lista smiled awkwardly, but he didn't dare to reply, he hadn't figured out a reason to explain how he had killed so many goblins. Although he was unconscious at the time, he also felt the unusual force, and if he told the truth, he knew if Marley would believe it, and he didn't know how the other party would react when he knew about the unusual force.

As if seeing Lista's embarrassment, Marley frowned and asked, "Lista, are you still uncomfortable, why is your complexion so bad?" ”

Lista: "......"

Lista could only be silent, but fortunately, after a brief period of doubt, Marley did not continue to delve into it.

Marley: "Maybe the ice valley is really freezing yours, and it seems that winter clothing will be added to the combat materials in the future." ”

A simple joke also made the atmosphere of the scene less dignified, and Deyun, who had always felt guilty, was able to speak at this time.

Deyun: "On behalf of the Order, I would like to thank you and apologize to you, I didn't know ...... before"

Lista: "No need to do this, fighting is the fate of a warrior, and besides, protecting Kuhan is also what we should do, so there is no need to apologize, and as for thanks, it shouldn't just be for me." ”

The atmosphere became solemn again, but Lista didn't care, and instead asked, "How are the others?" How come I didn't see Captain Adan. ”

Marley: "The head of the regiment has been in a coma since he came back and hasn't woken up yet, and the same goes for Oscar, and both Karui and Hawke are being treated. ”

Lista: "Meyer and Orm......"

Marley hesitated for a moment, but said, "They were all sacrificed. ”

The cold wind blew through Kuhan and the white prayer flags outside the temple.

Two days later, Lista stood in front of Orm's house, and today was the day of Orm's burial.

At the front of the crowd were Aum's wife and daughter, her face still had tears on her face, her daughter was still young, she didn't seem to understand what her father meant when he left, she flashed a pair of curious eyes in the crowd, I don't know why these adults she usually saw were not happy today.

Fireworks rose in the distance, and it was not until Orm's coffin was put down that the little girl cried aloud, she did not understand why everyone buried her father in the dark earth, she dug up the dirt on the coffin over and over again, and shouted her father's name, trying to get him out of the coffin and clean up all the people who had bullied him.

In the end, it was Orm's wife who cried with her daughter in her arms, saying over and over again that her father would not return, so that Orm had to be buried.

At the scene, countless people burst into tears, unable to see this human tragedy, but such a scene is still being staged in other places.

After the funeral, Lista walked up to Fiona, who was trembling with tears, patted her on the shoulder, and whispered, "Let's go, we should also go see off Myer." ”

Fiona's body stiffened slightly, and when she turned her head to look, she saw Karui holding a small jar.

Meier has no relatives in Kuhan, he has already made a will, if he dies one day, he hopes to let the partners of the mercenary group scatter his ashes to Kuhan's river, so that even if he dies, he can still surround Kuhan, but next to Orm, everyone still erected a monument to Meier.

Fiona lowered her head, her steps were so heavy that she couldn't step out, although she had lost her mind at that time, but she knew that it was her own sword that made Myer have no chance of escaping, and in the end Myer died in the hands of the goblin in order to protect her.

She wiped the tears of shame from her face, and her hand clenched the corner of Lista's clothes, she didn't know if she was still qualified to participate in sending Myer away.

Lista: "Let's go, Meier doesn't have any relatives in Kuhan, but we are all his relatives, Fiona, and I think he wants you to send him off." ”

Listening to Lista's reassurance, Fiona stepped forward to follow the people, and they walked through every river and stream in Kuhan, scattering Meier's ashes into them, and although he left, he still raised his shield around Kuhan, guarding everyone in Kuhan.

Dust to dust, dust to dust. After bidding farewell to the fallen heroes, the people began to sing the praises of the living heroes, and after both Aidan and Oscar woke up, a grand party was held in Kuhan to celebrate the victory in the battle and to praise Lista for their exploits.

People carnival all night long, singing and dancing, and fireworks illuminate the entire night sky of Kuhan as if it were day.

The details of their battles were passed down by word of mouth, and some even proposed to compile them into a book, so that the people of Kuhan would always remember their exploits.

Maybe the process was so bloody that people forgot that it was a complete tragedy.

They didn't win, they lost too many partners they could trust.

But the next day, when the sun rose and people's lives returned to normal, Lista walked through the streets, watching the quiet and peaceful life of the people, and thought to himself that maybe this was the reason why all the warriors fought for it.

It's just that......

It's just that for some reason, a sense of reluctance rose in Lista's heart, thinking that those who died in battle were buried in the soil, and they were the ones who should have enjoyed a peaceful life the most, but they fell before dawn, and they could no longer see tomorrow.

Lista was a little uneasy, or more precisely, there was an indescribable fighting spirit that made him unable to calm down, and knowing that he could not stay on the street, he turned and went to the tavern.

Fiona, Karui, and Hawke were all here in the tavern, and they didn't talk much, as if they were just sitting there drinking peacefully.

Lista came to the front desk, and he wanted ice strawberry liqueur, but instead asked for spirits.

As he turned around, Tyr in the tavern noticed that something didn't seem quite right with him, not only him, but Fiona and them.

Tyr: "Mr. Lista, are you alright, I don't see your face is very good, do you need me to help you?" ”

Seeing that it was Tyr, Lista shook his head lightly and said, "I'm fine, maybe I haven't had much rest recently, you don't have to worry." ”

Tyr: "Mr. Lista, I know that this battle has affected you a lot, but you must adjust your mentality, you have done a good job, don't care so much." ”

Lista turned around, and as he walked away with his wine, he whispered, "I know." ”

Knowing and doing are two different things. There are some things that know how to do, but it's hard to do.

Arriving at Fiona's table, Lista placed the spirits on the table, and Hawke was the first to reach out and bring a glass of wine, which he drank unceremoniously.

Fiona took one look at it, then took a drink from her glass.

The liquor is spicy and pungent, it is not a very good feeling, and it is even a little close to pain, but in the current situation, some people may just want to make the body ache.

Karui looked at the three of them as if they were retaliating one cup after another, picked up his glass, and after a pause, he said in a deep voice: "You don't want to see their heroes like you, so calm down." ”

The three of them stopped their glasses, but they were still silent.

Suddenly, someone pushed open the door of the tavern and rushed in, and as soon as he saw the four of them here, he immediately ran in front of them.

"I didn't expect the four of you to be here, but let me find it."

It turned out to be Kosty, when she gathered the members of the mercenary group before, Lista had gone to look for her, but she was not at home at the time, but she didn't expect to appear spontaneously at this time, looking at her dusty appearance, it seemed that she had just returned from somewhere.

Kosti: "I heard that the mercenary group broke through the large number of goblins gathered in the ice valley?" It's amazing, I've also heard that in the mercenary group, the four of you are the most active and brave, it's really amazing, I hope you will continue to work hard in the future, and there will always be good news. ”

After Kosty finished speaking excitedly, there was a little more envy in his eyes, and then he said: "It's a pity, although I was in the ice valley at the time, I didn't notice anything strange outside, and I didn't come to help you, I really want to fight side by side with you, and I can't always lag behind in the future." ”

Listening to Kosti's words, Lista asked with some confusion, "You said you were also in the ice valley before?" ”

Kosti nodded repeatedly, and then said with some pride: "Of course, I haven't been dry, after you told me the news of the Extreme Cold Tyrant before, I quietly went to search the ice valley, and finally I really found the hiding place of that guy." Unfortunately, I found the guy's hiding place at the time, but there were a lot of goblins around it, so I couldn't get close to it.

Before all the goblins left, I thought something was wrong, and I didn't dare to act rashly, but I didn't expect that the goblins were all going to assemble. Because I didn't know that the goblins gathered had been repelled by you, I didn't dare to think about it, even though I saw the opportunity, and after observing it for a few days, I just came back today. ”

It's no wonder that Lista couldn't find Kosti before, it turns out that Kosti has been guarding the Extreme Cold Tyrant in the Ice Valley. However, at this time, hearing the message of the Extreme Cold Tyrant, a fighting spirit rose in Lista's heart, and the knot in his chest may only be dissipated by a hearty battle.

Lista: "Kosty, do you want to fight the Tyrant of the Extreme Cold again?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other three also changed slightly, it was not fear, but expectation, maybe in their hearts, they also wanted to have a battle.

Kosti was obviously very excited about this proposal, but after thinking about it, he was still a little uncertain and said, "I haven't found a weapon that can fight that guy yet, so I'm not sure...... If I had a chance of winning, I would love to fight that guy to the death right away! ”

It can be seen that for the Extreme Cold Tyrant, Kosti hates it to the core.

Karui: "Brother Kosty, why are you so obsessed with the Tyrant of Extreme Cold?" Is it just because of your bad fate? ”

Kosty was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head slightly and said softly, "Why are you so obsessed with that guy?" Because...... Its men, in addition to my broken weapon, also have the lives of my teachers. ”
