What is Hero?

Hero is a very vague definition. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not like you can be a hero if you want to.

In an era of peace, there is no such thing as a real hero.

Only-

The building is about to fall,

Save all peoples from fire and water.

This is the real hero.

Ten years have passed, and Duke's face seems to be frozen at the age of twenty, young, but with a calmness and wisdom that is unique in the world, and the black eyes that seem to be able to see through the future and are prophetic, always so deep and charming.

Illusia thinks back to how many eyes, suffering, and sins she has suffered in the past ten years for taking care of the affairs of the Marcus family in an unjustifiable manner...... I thought about giving up more than once.

Whenever I think about my family, I have a new lease of life.

Whenever you think of Duke's arrangement, there must be an irreplaceable importance.

Every time I dream back in the dead of night, I think of the incomplete love with Duke.

Illusia was stunned to survive, and now that she looks back, she really thinks it's a miracle.

Unconsciously.

Beyond control.

Illusia, who was in the carriage, stretched her white neck again and offered her red lips.

"Hmm...... Woo......"

Duke didn't refuse, and he could clearly feel that the two Barov peaks were more important than they had been ten years ago. If it weren't for the fact that time didn't allow for the love of children, Duke really wanted to kill Illusia on the spot.

"Well, since the Scarlet Crusaders are nearby, let's go find Mograine first. Duke commanded.

It's not that Duke can't directly use magic to find someone, but it's useless to find it, he must first prove his identity, and then find the person who knows the most about the military intelligence of the Lordaeron continent.

At this time, a timid female voice came.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Duke Marcus?"

Duke looked out the window of the carriage and saw that it was Sally, and Duke smiled: "If you're asking Duke Marcus, the former deputy commander of the Alliance, that's right, it's me." ”

"I'm so sorry!" Sally came up with a deep bow, "I misunderstood you just now." ”

As if remembering something, as soon as she raised her head, the girl with a shiny silver thread bowed again: "Thank you for your rescue, if it weren't for you, Renault and I would have died just now." ”

"It's okay, I'm embarrassed, I scared you like that, didn't I?" said Duke, smirking a little.

The girl remembered Duke's naked appearance, and her face suddenly turned crimson.

Renault next to him was really shocked, who would have known that a guy who looked like a pervert turned out to be a big hero of the alliance who had been missing for ten years.

However, he was not willing to be compared like this, and he took a deep breath: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I just heard that you seem to want to go to the Scarlet Cross." ”

"Yes!" Duke nodded.

"I can lead the way, please follow me. ”

To Duke's great surprise, the Scarlet Cross Legion's headquarters was less than two kilometers away, and it was only two small hills to arrive.

In front of the barracks gates, which were covered with red and white flags, Duke was surprised to see a large number of undead remains. The warriors in red armor are carefully mending the zombie remains.

Even when I was walking on the road, I saw a zombie with only half of its body left from time to time, almost hurting people.

Soon, they were stopped by a patrol squad.

"Please stop, there is the camp of the Scarlet Crusade in front of you, please explain your intentions when you come. ”

Reynolds rushed to meet him.

"Renault?" Apparently the patrol leader recognized Renault: "Who are they?"

"He's the ...... of Lord Duke Marcus"

Before Renault could finish speaking, the squad leader's face turned cold, and he interrupted on the spot: "What are you kidding!? Your Excellency Marcus has been condemned by the Alliance as a war dead for more than seven years!"

Turning his head, the squad leader drew his sword and shouted, "Soldiers!

Suddenly, there was a sound of a long sword unsheathed, and the sword light was like a forest!

Renault's whole person is not good, and he originally wanted to show it in front of Sally, but who knew it would be like this.

In the carriage, Duke frowned.

Mograini is strict in governing the army, and it is definitely a super troublesome thing to verify his identity, not to mention that when he teleported back, all his equipment was blown up, and there were any tokens.

Duke took a deep breath: "There's no time to waste. ”

Suddenly, a loud voice echoed over the entire camp.

"Alexandros! I know you're disciplined. But something big is wrong, so let your people stop me. ”

It was amplification magic, and no magician would dare to use it in a legion-level barracks. Because this is the same reason as Duke's pre-ancient 'roaring court' or something.

But I can't afford to spend time!

There was a commotion in the barracks, and the Scarlet Crusader soldiers, who were already in combat readiness, immediately rushed out.

At this time, another deep voice popped out of the main tent. Unlike Duke's tricks, this is the shocking effect of a simple, thunderous loud voice.

"Duke!?Holy Light, what the hell am I?Or did I really run into another resurrected one!?The soldiers obey the order!Get out of the way, let him in quickly. ”

The first half of the sentence was addressed to Duke, and the second half was shouted to the soldiers below.

The soldiers were stunned, for it was the first time they had followed the Grand Lord of Mograini for so many years and heard their own commander-in-chief shout with such intimacy in defiance of military discipline.

The patrol soldiers who intercepted Duke all looked grim, and they all got out of the way and stood on the side of the road and saluted.

The wooden door of the barracks slammed open, and the recruits were stunned to find that the veterans around them were all quickly tidying up their appearance.

"Sir, this is ......"

"Boy, keep your eyes open! Witnessing the return of a legendary hero is not something that happens every year. ”

It's been ten years, how many decades are there in life?

The veterans of that year either died on the battlefield or returned to their hometowns with injuries, and most of those who remained in the army became officers. No veteran of the Second Battle of the Dark Gates, will forget the legendary name of Duke Marcus.

Because......

The name stands for victory!

The name is full of wisdom!

The name symbolizes fearlessness!

Every officer spontaneously stood next to the camp gate.

Not in the current military ranks, but in the queues of veterans of the past.

In that momentum mixed with the evil spirit of a veteran of a hundred battles, there is also respect from the heart.

This mixed feeling infected every soldier, who unconsciously lined up behind the commanders.

Looking at the deputy commander of the alliance who was riding on the horse, wearing a mage robe and his face barely changed, the veterans burst into tears.

A guard of honor shouted, "Salute to the legendary hero, His Excellency Duke Marcus."

In the next moment, the tsunami mountain roared.

"Hats off to His Excellency Marcus—" (To be continued.) )
