“...... Wait a minute! Yuri said excitedly. We still don't know for sure if he's actually infected with the undead plague! Isn't it? ”

"Plagues can spread through blood, but they can also be neutralized by the power contained in us! Didn't Leon hold on until now with some signs of undeadness? It stands to reason that he should have become an undead yesterday! Maybe he'll make it through? Maybe Leon's arm changed for other reasons, it's also possible! ”

Faced with little Yuri's insistence, Calane glanced at Leon, a veteran who was waiting for his fate, and the latter's originally somewhat gray face regained some of his expression.

Calan lowered his head, he looked at the Lordaeron insignia wrapped around the hilt of his palm, and then he slowly tightened his grip on the hilt!

Captain Karahn slowly raised his head, he looked at little Yuri and said lightly, "But none of us can guarantee it, can we?" We can't afford to take that risk. ”

"Soldiers infected with the plague are not the only ones who kill our own people after losing control." Calan's calm voice echoed across the battlefield, "It's not that I want to do it, but ......"

"No, trust me. I'll help him," little Yuri said firmly, and in order to be more persuasive, little Yuri raised the holy tome in his hand, "I've been working on a holy light spell!" I was thinking that if the Light cleanses the blood from our armor and clothing, it should also be able to dispel the plague from our bodies! It's a principle! We won't now, just because we haven't gotten the spell trick right! ”

"Calan!" Little Yuri looked at Karan with a pleading gaze and said, "If you don't feel safe, you can even cut off his arm, but don't decide to let him die so easily... It's a life! ”

Little Yuri's words made Leon's tears flow instantly, and he walked to the side with red eyes, perhaps he was now full of remorse.

"Alas, Yuri. Have you ever really been a prosecutor? A difficult smile appeared on Captain Calan's furry face, and he repeated in an accentuated voice.

"But......" Little Yuri still tried to stop Calan.

"Say no more!" Freeman interrupted Yuri rudely, and he took a few steps in front of Yuri and took a deep breath. "It's not your business to study the Holy Light Spell, it's something for the priests in the cathedral to think about!"

"Maybe in the future, you will be able to study the spell that expelled the plague from the soldier's body! When that time comes, I will definitely thank you! But now!! Captain Karahn pointed to Yuri's nose and said, "It's too late!!" He has a few more hours at most! You will become an undead completely! ”

"Do you really want your former comrades-in-arms to become like that?!"

Little Yuri was silent, and he silently turned to look at Leon. The veteran leaned against a big tree not far away, holding something in his hand and watching motionlessly.

Seeing that little Yuri no longer insisted, Calan lifted the blade in his hand and walked in front of the veteran.

"Leon, are you ready to hit the road?"

The veteran nodded, but quickly shook his head again.

"I don't really have anything to say, Captain." Leon sighed, handing the photo to Calan, "The woman on this is my wife, and she lives in Eva. If you can meet her. Please tell her about me, I'm sorry I can't be with her anymore. Let her find a man who can take care of her. So be it. ”

"Your wife lives in Iva?! Are you from the Southern Theater of Operations? Calan's eyes widened!

Leon smiled apologetically and didn't say anything. He straightened up and pulled out a Southern Theater robe with deep pleats from his bag and put it on his body.

Calan was surprised to find that the robe was a lieutenant's robe!!

"Alas, what a pity," Leon shook his head helplessly, "I didn't die heroically in battle, nor did I die in the line of duty, but I ....... like this"

"No.... No! Calane straightened his armor and robe, and he solemnly saluted Leon and said, "You will always be our comrade-in-arms!" Our closest 'Solid Stone' Lyon! ”

"Thank you, Captain." Leon smiled and said, "Thank you, not because of who I am....."

"We are all crusaders, Leon." Calan said solemnly, "It's not a wall that separates us!" We are all comrades-in-arms and brothers! ”

"Let's do it," Leon said with a smile, "I'm ready." ”

"I will tell your wife that you died in battle. You single-handedly take out five ghouls and fight more scourges to the death......"

"Thank you, Captain.... Do it. Leon slowly closed his eyes, "Before I change my mind..."

Calan gritted his teeth, and he couldn't help but shout at everyone around him!

"Salute!!"

In the blurred gaze of little Yuri, while everyone saluted, Calane's sword fell in his hand as the two female recruits sobbed, and Leon's body was separated.....

The raging fire set Leon's body to fire, and the smell of black smoke and burnt flesh wafted here.

Little Yuri looked at Leon's body burning in the fire, and he opened his mouth to ask Calane beside him. “...... Do you think what you are doing now is any different from what Alsace once did to our homeland? ”

Looking at Leon in the firelight, Calan lowered his head.

“...... It's no different. Calan's deep voice replied. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said again, "Yuri, you have changed. The Inspector Mazarin, whom I knew, used to be so confident! So vibrant! ”

Little Yuri lowered his head and laughed a few times, he looked at the holy book in his hand and said, "It's you Calane, the warrior named Thomas I once knew, and he has never been so cold-blooded. ”

"It's not cold-blooded, it's just ....." Karahn turned to look at little Yuri, who seemed to want to explain.

Little Yuri, however, turned away and walked away, his fading voice drifting over. "It's just a sacrifice necessary in extraordinary times, isn't it? Thomas, I have heard more of these things than you, and I have spoken more than you, so much...... So much so that I don't even believe it anymore. ”

Calan looked at little Yuri's distant figure and didn't move for a long time.

Time still ticked by, and a few days later, Calan's team found a farmer on an abandoned farm on the outskirts of Andorhar.

Perhaps the Light knew how he had managed to make it to this point.

"Help me! My lord! Help me! As soon as he saw the team, the farmer rushed over with a rolling belt. I was bitten by a ghoul! ”

The farmer held up a piece of torn linen and simply bandaged his left hand and showed it to Yuri and the others. The ring finger and little finger of the hand were severed together, and the linen that wrapped the wound had turned black and emitted a faint stench.

Little Yuri and Karahn furrowed their eyebrows at the same time.

One of the soldiers in the squad asked, "When were you attacked by a ghoul?" Why it didn't kill you. ”

"It's a lone ghoul, and I killed it with a pitchfork just three days ago." The farmer scratched his head with his sound right hand with a silly smile on his face while flexing his right arm to show his strength.

3 days ago......

Yuri's heart sank......

Three days was enough time for the Crusaders to pronounce the death penalty on this man... And Karahn's approach also confirmed Yuri's conjecture.

"All I can say is sorry, sir." Calane drew his sword as he spoke. "I'm afraid we can't save your body anymore, the only thing we can do now is to save your soul."

"Nope! No! My lord! What are you doing here? The farmer stepped back in horror. I'm not an undead, you can't kill me!! Mr. Pastor! Mr. Pastor, you can save me, can you?! ”

The farmer looked at Yuri hopefully.

Yuri's mouth moved, but before he could make any more moves, Calane stepped forward to stand between him and the farmer.

"I said it, we can only save your soul. Natalie, kill him! ”

A female archer began to take a bow and arrow from her back! The other soldiers rushed forward quickly, leaving only the two recruits standing nervously behind Yuri.

The farmer screamed in horror and turned to run, but he didn't get far before he was kicked to the ground by the on-board soldier, and one of the soldiers stepped on his body, raised his axe and was about to fall when a translucent shield suddenly appeared from the farmer's body.

"Brother Mazarin! I want you to understand what you're doing! Calan turned and shouted angrily.

"Of course I do." Yuri stared at Karan without showing any weakness. "Three days, just crossed our bottom line, I still want to see if I can save him!"

Karahn didn't say anything more, he turned around wordlessly. Just as Yuri let his guard down, Karahn turned around and suddenly picked up his shield and smashed it on Yuri's head. Yuri's eyes went dark, and as he staggered back, he heard Calan's roar in his ears.

"Do it!"

Yuri's eyes quickly fell into darkness......

That night, Calan crept into Yuri's tent.

"In what capacity are you here? My friend Thomas, or my captain Calan? Touching the lump on his head, Yuri smiled sarcastically.

"What's the difference?" Calan asked in a low voice, sitting down on the edge of Yuri's bunk.

"If you are coming as Thomas, then please go out now; If you are coming as a captain, please go out as soon as you are done with your official duties. ”

After saying the above words, Yuri lay down directly on the floor.

"Then I'll tell you a piece of news as Captain Calan." Calan paused as he spoke. "Or should I say an order!"

"This order, from the Attorney-General, Lord Ethanlyon, and the Grand Crusader Dassault Khan, was to the effect that the Crusaders had the right to determine whether anyone was infected by the plague of the dead, and to purify the infected at any time and in any place. The Crusaders have the right to judge whether or not they are comrades of the undead, and once they are confirmed to be comrades of the undead, the Crusaders have the duty and duty to purify them together! ”
