Chapter 360: Decisive Battle (24)

Krylov III has been wondering if he really wants to abandon his army and his people.

As Alberta Elfaro said, if he runs away now, if he abandons these soldiers now, then he does have a chance to escape alive.

There is still a legendary paladin on the battlefield now, if he dies here, then the god of justice will inevitably cast his attention, after all, Karl Crown has divided a part of the divine power and created an artifact for the legendary paladin, and the young legend must have received the attention of Karl Crown.

Even in order to recover that part of the divine power, His Majesty Karl will inevitably cast his eyes, and at that time, the monster full of 'evil' will definitely be killed by the god of justice, and Krylov III does not have to worry about the civilians in the territory behind him being harmed by this monster.

As long as he escapes from here, then this will all be over!

After he fled, he was still king, he was still in power, and with the forces he had left behind in Greenland, he could still be the king of the country, but he would have to start all over again.

And this time his opponent will be those waste-like nobles, not Adolf Valho, not Abner Elfaro, with the help of several other great nobles, and the rule of Krylov III will not spread throughout the kingdom for long.

As long as he can abandon these soldiers and his own people, he will be able to 'escape death'......

Will he be able to do it? Will he do it?

Krylov III was thinking, and then he quickly came to a conclusion - he was able to do it!

As a king, Krylov III would never admit that he was greedy for life and fearful of death, because then no one would choose to follow him, and even if anyone did follow him, it would never be credible, because those people were absolutely greedy for money and power, and they would definitely abandon themselves when it came to a critical moment.

But 'will not admit' to 'will not admit', Krylov III knew that he was that kind of person......

He was ruthless and greedy for life, and as a mage and a king, he was taught to 'stay out of danger', and even during his time in the Winds of Sorrow, his teachers did not ask him to be 'brave and good at fighting'.

As a king, Krylov III had been avoiding danger rather than facing it, which is not what a good monarch should do.

If he was allowed to leave these soldiers behind and run away alone, he would indeed be able to do it...... But he won't do that!

His father and teachers taught him that a king is not only powerful, but also responsible—a king who is in power but ignores responsibility is not a good king, and a king who does his best but does not know how to exercise power is not a good king.

A king who does not use his power, no matter how hard he tries, will not be able to govern his country well, and a king who only knows how to enjoy the benefits of power without paying any attention to the responsibilities will sooner or later bring down a country.

Krylov III feared death, but he feared even more losing power in his hands.

It has become an obsession of his to restore the kingdom to its former glory, or even further, so he took his staff and spurred his horse!

While the nobles were still stunned, Krylov III was alone, riding his horse and running down the hill.

"Follow me!"

The mobile troops and convoys down the hillside saw their king running down the hillside on horseback and made way for him.

They saw Krylov III holding the reins in one hand and holding his staff aloft in the other, and then they heard Krylov III shouting: "Follow me!!"

Without superfluous words, Krylov III raised his staff and took the lead.

Just this sentence can make their blood surging!

Several knights of the mobile unit and the convoy subconsciously followed, because Krylov III was their king and they needed to protect Krylov III......

Some people are discouraged, and the fear in their hearts has always affected them, causing them to stand still and look terrified.

However, many more, after a little hesitation, followed in the footsteps of Krylov III!

Krylov III had some conversations and discussions with the head maid before the wind's return to the wind's domain, and even after their return to the wind's domain, he had a correspondence with the head maid.

It was at that time, because of a letter from the chief maid, that he made up his mind to give up the Sorrowful Wind Leader.

And a sentence on that letter convinced him, and it was because of this that he was deeply impressed by that sentence -

'If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!'

Originally, he thought that this was the head maid warning him that only if he could bear the corresponding weight could he have equal power, and he thought that he could not bear the 'weight' of the Sad Wind Leader, so he chose to let the Sad Wind Leader be independent.

But now he finally understands the other meaning of this sentence, the true meaning of this sentence!

Yes, as a king, he should care about the whole country, and it may not be worth it to 'send them to death' for the sake of these soldiers.

No one would blame him, except for the families of these soldiers, because he was a king, a nobleman of noble blood, so people did not criticize him too hardly.

But if he did, how many more people would be turned to him in the future, and how would he revitalize the flagging kingdom?

The fear in his heart disturbed his mind, and Krylov III could not think of any other way for a while, so he could only ride his steed, rush down, and launch a 'dreadnought' charge with the monster - although it seemed ridiculous to him.

The 'brave and fearless' Krylov III charged with his soldiers!

"Keep up!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Soldier, follow me!!"

The soldiers who followed in the footsteps of Krylov III after a little hesitation had drawn a long line, and the soldiers who stood still were getting fewer and fewer, and on this plain, they were as small as a swarm of ants, but the momentum they burst out could make the whole plain shake!

From a tactical point of view, such a distance is not suitable for a charge, but these hot-blooded soldiers can no longer manage so much.

What's more, their enemy is not an ordinary creature, but a monster who doesn't know what it is!

They didn't know what to do with the monster, but their king had already begun to charge, and how could they be left behind?

The sound of horses' hooves and footsteps resounded across the plain, and a distant tremor reached the feet of the Marquis of Elfaro, who was surprised and then laughed heartily into the sky.

"Hahahaha...... I was wrong, I was wrong!hahahaha......"

Although he said this, the Marquis of Elfaro's words revealed a sense of joy, which made the old mage look sideways.

"But that's just a wasted effort. After laughing for a while, the Marquis of Elfaro changed his words again and sighed.

Then he looked at the old mage, "Floys, how do you feel now that the lives of Krylov III and those soldiers are in your hands?"

"I don't feel too much...... "After taking a puff of his cigarette, the old mage walked directly to the battlefield, leaving the Marquis of Elfaro and the Swordmaster there, not at all worried that after he left, the two would run away.

He'd already calculated it in his head before, so the next step was the 'real battle' - the 'battle' between two legendary mages!

The old mage squinted, looked up at the monster, and muttered, "Although it is powerful, there are too many flaws......
