no.28 Will the undead be afraid of death? (Please ask for tickets, ask for flowers)

At night, the tallest tower of the fortress was shrouded in black, and the moonlight in the sky seemed to be the only embellishment at this moment. Here, Lucifer looked into the distance, and the French camp was flashing fire.

The first assault failed, they did not retreat, but guarded the camp on the edge of the forest. Behind them is the road of retreat, even if the war fails later, they can retreat to the White Rock Fortress.

Can you attack and defend when you retreat? If you want to completely defeat them, you must first cut their back.

The breeze blew, and a familiar breath came from behind.

"Leah?" Lucifer said softly.

"Ok."

The knight girl was dressed in casual clothes, just like when they first met.

"Come and sit down!" As he said, Lucifer first sat down on the bench next to him.

The space here is not too big, in order to save space, the benches are also built against the guardrail next to it.

Altria sat down close to Lucifer, but she did not speak.

"If you look closely, the night view here is actually pretty good, and the air doesn't have that sticky smell. Of course, if there were no war, maybe it would be more beautiful at this moment." The air was a little silent, and Lucifer also Can only speak first. He randomly searched for a topic.

Speaking of war, Leah seemed to have some feelings.

"You... already know it! I'm sorry, as your knight, I am immature and I don't have enough courage. Several times before, I have been worried that I will die in war. When I think of death, my heart will speed up. "The girl hesitated to say how fragile she was in her heart. Aunt is not there, and she is currently the only one to talk to Lucifer.

She is not an immortal, nor is she the strongest knight like Grand Duke Lion. Seeing countless compatriots fall, she will inevitably think of herself. But as a knight, she also felt guilty for her fear of death.

Am I really a qualified knight? Before coming here, she always thought so.

"It is inevitable that there will be a bad stress reaction on the battlefield for the first time. It is normal. Born as human beings, we are afraid of death. It is also normal. You know, in this purgatory called war, we have a fear of death in our hearts. People go further than those who don’t know what death is."

Lucifer couldn't help smiling in her heart. The Knight Ji in front of her was not the heroic Knight King she had remembered. She didn't even draw her sword, and it was only natural that she would have the normal emotions of ordinary people.

In other words, she has always kept the feelings of normal people, but in that world, for the sake of kingly, she had to give up extra feelings. Thinking about it this way, her aunt's evaluation of her was very pertinent.

"Is that so? But I often hear people say that fear of death will make my sword dull, and eventually die because of it." Leah's face became somewhat restored.

"Out of the fear of death, we can do our best to live. It is not death that makes your sword dull, but the hesitation and hesitation in your heart. The moment of hesitation is fatal, so you must not hesitate when shooting. Set a point for yourself in your heart. Whenever you feel confused or weak, just think about why you are swinging your sword."

In a daze, Lucifer thought of herself in the last world. Was awakened by the bell as an undead, as a fireless ember to seize the power of fire from King Xin's body. The undead team, Eldridge who devours the gods, Yum, the king of giants, Pope Sullivan... and more people who are not worth mentioning fell under their own swords.

However, the undead are not immortal. When the human nature disappears completely, the undead will become a living corpse, and the undead transformed into a living corpse is more pathetic than death.

At that time, I was not fearless, but had something to do. It is precisely because of this that he will be reborn from the flame again and again.

"There is no hesitation in my heart, can I really do it. Wang, when I was fighting before, I was actually very scared. If I didn't see you, I would worry whether I would be knocked down and I would never stand up again. , Can't continue to be your knight." Leah said the deepest fear in her heart.

"If you fall, please get up again, Leah. Even if your body falls, don't let your beliefs fall. You can't die. This is an order, and I give you an absolute order as a king." , Lucifer put his hand on Altria's shoulder.

The girl in front of her does not need to be persuaded, she just needs a reason to support herself. Originally, the reason should be to guard the country as a king, but now Lucifer turned it into his own command.

"Phil's orders are sometimes too embarrassing. I can't die, and I don't want to die, but..." Leah's voice gradually weakened.

"You are my knight, and the knight can't refuse the master's order! Especially since I am still a king."

"oh, I understand now."

"That's right. The heroic and determined knight Ji I knew before will not be confused by this kind of thing. Death may be terrible, so some people think that as long as blindly ignoring death, it is brave. But that is just not daring to face death. She’s weak. I don’t think I want Leah to become that kind of person."

"Isn't it brave to ignore death?"

"In my opinion, their bravery is just out of indifference to life. Because they don't care about their own life and death, they appear fearless. But they are just fearless, not real immortality." At this point, Lucifer let go Girl, he stood up and stretched out his hands before her eyes and continued talking.

"From the age of God to the age of man, all the wisdom that mankind has honed is actually for one purpose, to survive. In order to survive, live more safely, meet friends, reunite with family, and stay with lovers... That's why With us now. In other words, it is precisely because of the strong will to live that we have walked from the time when there were many gods in the past to the present."

Compared with the gods of the past, there is no doubt about the weakness of human beings. But it is this kind of human beings who have lived to the modern age where the gods end. Some people like to call it the curse written on all living souls before the gods die. But Lucifer prefers to call it the will to live. *

no.29 King Sword

Wang confided her own voice. The girl Altria stared at the Wang in front of her blankly. Her heartbeat accelerated a little. She didn't know what was going on in her heart, but there was no doubt that she wanted this moment to exist forever.

"I... want to know the king's past." In a daze, she subconsciously said what was in her heart. She herself didn't realize how rude this was.

"Are you curious about my past?" Lucifer said with a smile.

"Well, I want to understand Wang, understand Wang's past, present, and even everything."

"No problem. When the battle is over, I will tell you my story. But, Leah, at that time, I will also listen to the story that happened to you."

"my story!"

"Yes, you can take it as an order." Lucifer's room added.

In normal circumstances, the girl might hesitate because of shyness. At this time, you have to be decisive. For the first time, Lucifer felt that his king's privileges were still very useful.

Ok! Wait, if you think about it, although there is no coat of arms on the back of my hand, doesn't this situation mean that I have an eternal spell?

Thinking of this, Lucifer began to look forward to the future life more and more.

"Yes! Really, you are too unconscious, Wang, you would actually use commands in such a place." Altria's words at the moment contained a bit of complaint, but she was also shy.

"Take it as my little self-willedness. Before I became a king, I was a person, and people naturally have their own personality. I think this is very good, otherwise one day I will be said to be a king who does not understand the human heart. It's not easy."

Lucifer's joke was categorically refuted by Altria.

"No! Absolutely not!"

"..."

There was a moment of silence, Lucifer couldn't help but smile sincerely. In my memory, the young knight in front of me, the king of Mao Mao in the future seemed to have been told by a knight that he didn't understand people's hearts. Originally Lucifer didn't believe it very much until he saw the card surface of a certain mobile game.

Well, I really don't understand people's hearts. Compared to a certain village girl in France next to...

Facing Lucifer as a friend, but also Wang's smile, Altria lowered her head, not knowing how to face it. The foolish hair above her head is expressing her mood at the moment.

After a while, Lucifer returned to Altria, she was relieved, and then quickly found a topic.

"I also participated in the battle against thieves with my aunt before, but it was completely different from this time. I was the first to participate in the Legion-level battle. Although I have thought about it many times before, I will still be caught by it after seeing it with my own eyes. Shocked."

"For the first time, you performed much better than when I was the first time."

"You know. I actually envy you."

Rather than being envious, the feelings in her heart should be more accurate with longing. It's just that the girl at this time hasn't noticed this.

"Envy? Envy this?"

Lucifer moved his hand and unlocked the holy sword on his waist. With the scabbard, he put it on his lap.

"Ah! No, no! I'm sorry! I never thought about it too much. In my heart, you are my king. The king of this country more suitable than me, I am your knight, I..." The girl looked a little flustered at this time, she was very worried that Lucifer would misunderstand that she was still looking forward to the throne of the king.

"Don't be nervous! Even if you look nervous, you are also cute." Lucifer comforted her softly.

"..."

"Want to try it! It should belong to you."

Altria originally wanted to touch this beautiful holy sword, but her hand stopped at the last moment of contact.

"Can you...no, forget it. If you let others see it, it won't be good. I am now a knight named Altria, your exclusive guardian knight. And the king of this country is you."

The sword chooses the king, and this country does not need two kings. If others were to see her also draw their swords, it would undoubtedly have a bad effect, especially since she was in the blood of the royal family. Maybe it will become an excuse for rebellion.

"To you, this sword symbolizes this country. But to me, it's just a sword."

"For you, it's just a sword. That's right, the king doesn't need this sword to shine. But I also have my persistence. It symbolizes the king's sword, and the knight cannot touch it." Leah retracted her hand. , With relief in his eyes. She likes the holy sword, but she can't move if she can't move. Having said that, she looked at Lucifer and continued.

"In fact, I have always envied your kingly way. These days, the kings most heard in my army are very tolerant, but at the same time very strict. The knights follow the king without feeling that they are too far away from the king. Far away. I..."

After hesitating for a moment, Lucifer grabbed her hand and motioned.

"I'm right in front of your eyes, within reach."

"Very real, this feeling."

"Before this, what was the kingly way in Leah's heart?"

"Compared with the current path of the king, I actually thought I should be like my aunt. But I can't do both of my king ways, so I thought that if I become a king, even if I give up my personal everything, I must protect this. country."

Her words are her ending in another world. There is nothing wrong with her kingly way, no, it should be said that there is no right or wrong thing about kingly way, it's just that different paths lead to different results, nothing more.

"If you really do that, you will undoubtedly be praised as a noble king. But such a crown is just a bondage, and the road called the king will become a curse for you."

"In the future that Merlin showed me at the time, my final ending was fixed on the blood-stained sword hill. I pierced a female knight who looked like me with a holy spear. I never understood why and why. Will it be like that? But now, I seem to have some answers."

"Use me as a reference to witness, this distorted future in your eyes."

"Well, I will always witness everything about the king. Knight Altria, hereby offer my loyalty to the king, even if the body is destroyed, before the soul disappears, no, even if the soul disappears here, I will still be your knight, Side by side with you."

Under the moon, the girl knight made her vow. She came to the king, knelt down on one knee, and offered everything she had with the highest courtesy. *

no.30 Thunder Gun Corps (please ask for votes, ask for flowers)

In the early morning of the next day, Lucifer was explaining to Altria the strategic part of her interest. After the frank announcement last night, she lost a lot of restraint in front of Lucifer and no longer concealed her nature.

Occasionally, because of the so-called knight's loyalty, he would forcibly remind and even correct Lucifer's excessive jokes as a king. This kind of extreme seriousness reminds Lucifer from time to time of her as a servant knight, rather than her as a king.

Of course, Lucifer was also very tolerant of this, and would deliberately tease her from time to time.

There was a knock on the door outside the door, and Altria temporarily put aside the discussion time with Lucifer and stood respectfully behind him.

"Come in!" Lucifer tidied up the files on the desk and said to the door.

The door was opened, and Gawain's figure walked in.

"Wang, the people you need have been assembled. There are a total of 1,300 elite shooters that can be found. It's just that... some of them are not knights." He came to Lucifer's table and gave a copy. The list is handed over. At the same time, he reported what Lucifer wanted him to do.

"It's okay! I said that as long as they have outstanding talents in throwing guns, I won't mind their identities. I hope you do the same, Gawain." Lucifer said of himself as he read the list. Attitude.

In this country, the status of a knight is naturally much higher than that of an ordinary infantryman. This may bring some barriers. However, these are still within the scope of possible solutions.

"Follow the king's orders."

"Take me over. I want to make the final assessment on them."

"Please follow me."

Lucifer and Altria led by Gawain to a huge circular training ground. The diameter here is roughly estimated to be more than one kilometer, and it is also one of the main training venues for this fortress.

After arriving at the high platform, Lucifer explained his intentions first. He needs a force that can shoot accurately. This part of the line has no identity, as long as it has the ability to join, whether it is a knight or an ordinary soldier. If you can't accept it, you can quit by yourself.

Originally Lucifer thought that there would be some people who could not let go of his knighthood, but unexpectedly, because of his prestige as the king, these people expressed their willingness to abide by this rule.

After that is the time for the assessment, Lucifer is scheduled to only need an elite team of 600 people, which means that more than one-half of the team here will be swiped.

The content of the assessment is also very straightforward. The magician controls the flying targets, flies to high altitude, and then asks them to aim at these targets and project them. These soldiers have seen a lot of training on the ground, and this is the first time they have been on the air. They were a little excited for a while.

Then the people here started the game in groups of thirty. Just hit once to stay. Then carry out a possible second assessment.

The soldiers of the first group stepped out, and the magician also prepared the targets in the sky and let them fly freely. With the start of Lancelot below, the javelin in his hand flew out into the sky.

However, the results have a horrible feeling. Because there was no one hit. For a moment, the other people waiting nearby couldn't help but laugh. These people ended up dingy, and when they passed the second team, the people of the second team gave them an expression of'it's time to show the real technology'.

It is a pity that their handsomeness has not passed five seconds.

then…

"Next team!" Lancelot continued to shout.

Looking at the assessment of the rows of soldiers below, Lucifer couldn't help but feel the illusion of watching the sports meeting. But if it is a sports meeting, the results of this project are really terrible.

However, as time passed, some people finally hit the target. They were assigned to the other side and waited, and those who did not hit were also full of energy, ready to show their bravery to the king.

Inspire morale, which is one of the reasons Lucifer will come. After all, no one originally let Wang see their shame.

More than 200 people have passed the following assessment, but there are only 20 qualified candidates, and the ratio is only about one-tenth. This made Gawain, who was watching the game with Lucifer, a little bit unable to sit still.

He had just promised Wang himself that he was a good shooter, but now his grades are not as good as good, and he feels that his face is a little swollen. In case Wang feels that he is incompetent or selfish, that is what he never wants to see.

"Wang! Please let me participate." Gao Wen came to Lucifer and said his request.

Lucifer naturally understood the reason why he said so.

"Calm down, Gao Wenqing. In your eyes, am I the kind of narrow-minded king who will anger people because of this little thing." He said with a smile. The tone is not a rhetorical question, but affirmation.

"Wang's tolerance Gao Wen has witnessed, but..."
