100. I want to be a lord
Sean sat on the ground with his ass slumped, panting heavily.
The fatigue left over from the fierce battle finally broke out completely at this moment, and an indescribable prostration made Sean's spirit seem a little sluggish. However, he knew very well that after another minute, the side effects of adrenal stimulation would also come at the same time, and he was afraid that he would not even have the strength to move around at that time, but he didn't know what to do, and Sean at this moment was not happy at all.
There was no joy after defeating the opponent, but a sense of loss.
He looked around, there were a large number of corpses and severed limbs everywhere in the barracks, and the blood that flowed red almost all the ground, even pooled into pools of blood in the low-lying areas that had been revealed by Mario's destruction. The strong smell of blood lingered, mixed with a large amount of sulfur, which could take months to clear away.
"Don't look at it." Alfred's voice rang out, "The more you look at it, the more disappointed you become, and it will be of no use except to increase the pain in your heart." ”
Sean looked sideways at Alfred lying beside him, he really closed his eyes, didn't look at the surroundings, just kept breathing heavily, as if the oxygen in the air would be completely exhausted in the next second, so he had to breathe desperately now. The fangs of the flame lion were casually tossed aside by him, and the flames that flickered on them were noticeably more frequent than normal, as if to express dissatisfaction with what had happened to him.
Alfred actually didn't suffer much injury, and the fight with Martin only added a few new wounds, just because the injuries left over from the previous battle in the crypt had not healed, and the battle just now was more intense, and the wounds burst out, so now he looks like a bloody man, which is really a little terrifying.
"I hate Durune." Alfred said bluntly, his voice a little tired and weak, "But that doesn't mean I'm going to sympathize with Mario. In fact, they are to blame for all this. ”
"I'm just ......," Sean frowned, "a little upset." Watching so many people die. Just because of Durune's stupidity and paranoia......"
"You're not a lord." Alfred continued. "Those are not things you need to think about. We're just mercenaries, and no one can force us if we don't want to take on the task. …… The reason I don't like Durune is because he changed the plan of operations without authorization, and put us in complete danger. Speaking of the last of the worst, Alfred's voice was already visibly angry: "If we hadn't killed Mario at the last of the worst, what would all of this become?" ”
Sean fell silent.
He suddenly felt. My shoulders became heavy, and I felt like I had something called "responsibility" in my heart. Now he is no longer representing himself, but representing a team, and every decision he makes will affect Alfred and Cecilia. If he makes a wrong decision, the price he may not be able to bear.
This is not a game, as long as you die, you will completely lose everything, and it is not the game that you can start over again by shouting resurrection.
Moreover, as long as he wants to continue to survive in this world, then his team cannot be just Alfred and Cecilia. In the future, even more people will join his team. Interests, perhaps. Or maybe it's because of faith, it's more likely that he's just trying to survive. No matter what reason these people joined his team, any decision he makes will affect their future.
This sense of responsibility fell down without any fancy and weighed heavily on his heart.
It was as if something had been quietly broken in this world, and everything had become more real.
Cecilia ran from behind, her face was unusually pale, obviously overexerted, and she was also holding on to her spirit at the moment. But after seeing Sean and Alfred's situation, Cecilia's tears began to fall very unhappily, and the panicked look on her face was something Sean had never seen before, even on the rainy night when the two first met, Cecilia's face did not show such a panicked look.
"Don't cry, don't cry." Sean suddenly panicked, he wanted to stand up, but as soon as he moved, he found that the original minute time had arrived, and the side effects of adrenal stimulation had begun to take effect, and the whole person immediately sat down again, so frightened that Cecilia hurried to help, and tears fell even more happily, "Isn't there nothing wrong with me." …… What to cry about. ”
"I'm so scared!" Cecilia said in a crying voice, "My heart almost stopped beating when Mario turned into a demon, and then I saw you and Mario fighting...... I, I'm so scared something will happen to you. …… Sean, let's go home, don't stay here. ”
Sean chuckled and reached out to pat Cecilia, his eyes softened a lot: "Okay, let's go home." ”
In the barracks area of Tyndersburg, corpses and blood, severed limbs, broken and scattered weapons form a tragic scene, but in this scene there is a rare warmth and humanity: Cecilia's tears are still falling, Sean is smiling gently, and Alfred is still breathing heavily. At the edge of the scene are the surviving recruits, somewhat dazed in bandaging their wounds, they have all learned the craft of battlefield first aid from old Peter, although not very good, but basic actions such as stopping bleeding are absolutely fine.
As their future lord, Drune, seems to have been forgotten by this time.
Soon, a group of people rushed to Sean and Alfred's side to begin treating the injuries of the two heroes who had saved them. At this time, people found out that Alfred and Sean looked embarrassed and terrible, but these two people were not too seriously injured, which made the people who came to bandage their wounds feel a little surprised. But surprise to surprise, these people who are still a little simple didn't think so much, but began to arrange a place for Sean and others to rest.
This inexplicable war seems to have been forgotten by people, consciously or unconsciously. The cleaning of the battlefield in the castle has also been dealt with, but for some reason, the barracks area in the northeast corner has become a forbidden area that no one wants to come over, and when the blood melts into the earth, almost the entire ground of the barracks area turns a scarlet color. The bloody breath that condensed but did not dissipate. It's more like being rooted here.
Sean, Alfred, and Cecilia, after spending the night in Tindersburg, chose to leave. Sean even rejected Du Ruen's retention with a very tough attitude, his dislike for Du Ruan was much stronger than Mario, after all, if it weren't for Mario and the Medusa Chamber of Commerce joining forces, Sean actually didn't want to intervene in the infighting of the Tindes Collar at all.
Because in essence. He's actually more optimistic about Mario.
And in this world, there is absolutely no impermeable wall. Mario's death had reached the city of Arraro on the third day, and it is said that many mercenary groups tried to rebel that night, but they were forcibly suppressed by the city lord of Anrola City, and the situation was almost as tragic as the war in Tindesberg.
But no one knows for sure. Was this the end of the Tindesburg infighting, or was it just the beginning of a prelude. However, everyone knows that Mario is definitely not cleared up by being named a rebel, and in less than half a month, the entire Tindes territory will know about Mario's death, and a month later, the entire Gleason region will also know about it.
When the time comes. In the eyes of the other lords. Tynders is afraid that it will be a big piece of fat.
Sean and the others left Tyndsburg the next day and arrived at the village of Seroda on the morning of the third day. The next few days. chose to temporarily recuperate here in the village of Seroda, of course, there is actually a point in this, and it is also to facilitate Alfred to go to meet his daughter, Sir Fregan naturally disagreed, but after Sean came to the door with a sword and directly beheaded two guards, Sir Fregen was immediately honest.
And after the news of Mario's failed rebellion and death reached the village of Cerroda, Sir Fregan's attitude towards Alfred, Sean, and Cecilia changed 360 degrees. For a person like him, who is eager to drill into the top circle of the aristocracy, he naturally has some special channels to learn some truths, and in this truth, the names of Sean, Cecilia, and Alfred are naturally mentioned many times, and Fregen can't afford not to pay attention to them.
"Sean, when are we going home?"
It's still the Warm Breeze House Hotel, and it's still the same two rooms. Although Sean has already received the previous reward from Harley and Durune, as well as the reward for helping him solve Mario this time, plus the previous reward from the Black Cat Chamber of Commerce, Sean has a total of 20,000 pan-continent gold coins worth of gold scrolls, but he is still very stingy with the money, and he is not willing to waste it at all.
Hearing Cecilia's words at this time, Sean did not speak, but turned his head to look at Alfred.
Seeing Sean's gaze, Alfred naturally knew what this meant, so he said, "Thank you." …… I don't have any problems anymore, as long as you ask, I can follow you immediately. ”
"In that case, let's go and prepare." Sean spoke, "Go get Sheena here, let's take her with us." …… It's a long journey, and we need a carriage for a long journey, but we don't know ......if one is enough."
"Wait!" Cecilia was suddenly a little confused, "What do we need a carriage for a long journey?" You don't need any of that to go back to the Kingdom of Serien. ”
"Who told you we were going back to Serien?"
"Didn't you say go home?"
"yes." Sean nodded, and said with a natural expression, "The place we are going to is the Duchy of Lane, and we have to pass through several countries, of course, we have to prepare a carriage for a long journey, otherwise if we only rely on walking, how long will it take." ”
"Why are we going to the Duchy of Lane, don't we have a home in Serion?"
"Because this time, we're going to fight a home that really belongs to us."
"Hit, hit one...... A home that truly belongs to us? Cecilia looked stunned, then seemed to remember something, and said with a look of surprise, "Wait, are you supposed to be ...... Want to be a pioneer knight, right? ”
"That's right." Sean nodded, "I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, and I've found that if we only become the leader of a mercenary group, once we encounter some special circumstances, we will still be a little involuntarily. But if we can become a lord with our own territory, then even if we encounter something we are unwilling to do, we have the confidence and strength to refuse. ”
"So, I decided...... I'm going to lay down a territory that belongs to us and become a lord! (To be continued.) )
