Chapter 1,160 The approaching danger! !
Seeing Carlos standing silently in front of Hawke's body, his eyes closed and his mouth mumbling something, as if he was praying for something, Lena couldn't help but lower her head, her slightly pale mouth trembled slightly, and then lowered her head. Eulogy for the werewolf tribe.
In addition to the thousands of soldiers present, everyone also read their own eulogy.
After a while, Lena raised her head and asked:
"Sir Carlos, with all due respect, may I ask, what kind of pasts do these people have, and why do they have so much hatred for the Alliance?"
Carlos' eyes passed over a dozen corpses one by one. His eyes seemed to have restrained his emotions, and he seemed to have no emotions. He answered in a calm voice:
"The story on every corpse is a book of blood that makes people despair. After the Alliance has raised the bar for adventurers, there are very few fallen ones. Because of this, every fallen person will appear... It’s so hateful and pitiful.”
As he spoke, he pointed and squatted down, patting Hawke's shoulder gently:
"I don't know about the others, but Hawke has been under my command for many years, and I know a little bit about him."
He closed his eyes and seemed to be reminiscing about something. After a while, Carlos continued:
"This guy was an orphan when he was young. An orphan like this, in this kind of world, should have died of hunger long ago. But fortunately, someone adopted him. It's not appropriate to say that he was adopted. The same goes for that person. The orphan was only a few years older than him, and it was difficult for him to support himself. Just like this, the two of them depended on each other. In order to survive, they did almost everything, begging, stealing, and even eating grass and tree bark like livestock. In the end, Hawke was found to have the qualifications of an adventurer, passed the heart test, and successfully became a student in the training camp. With food and accommodation, the two of them finally had a stable life."
"It's not easy."
Lena sighed softly. Although she had been scorned by her tribe since childhood and was blind, and had never seen the world since the day she was born, compared to Hawke's childhood, Lena There is no doubt that she is happier, at least she is still the little princess of the werewolf tribe, and has no worries about food and clothing.
As for orphans like Hawke, stories like this appear from time to time in the Dark Continent, but most of them can't survive and turn into a pile of loess.
"Later, of course it was Hawke's happiest days." Carlos smiled.
"Huh?"
"After becoming a student, Hawke worked very hard and gradually distinguished himself. Although he was not the best among the students, he was still considered outstanding. The person who adopted Hawke has always been respected and loved by him as his sister. , and settled down. According to Hawke, she is a good woman who manages the family well, is hardworking and capable, and has smart hands and feet. She is a good woman that thousands of families in the surrounding area talk about and praise every day. Only Hawke who said these things, those eyes Only then will a trace of emotion be revealed. Although the relationship between the two is not real siblings, they are better than siblings, but..."
Carlos sighed, unable to say the next words. The more beautiful the memories, the more painful they will be when they turn into disasters. It is precisely because the feelings are so deep that the hatred in Hawk's heart is so huge.
"and after?"
"Later? Later, the lives of these two siblings got on the right track, and they gradually lived happily. Hawke's sister, because of her thrift and good-natured family, almost lined up every day to propose marriage. came, but in order to take care of his younger brother, Hawke's sister never got married. After fourteen years of this, Hawke finally changed his profession and became an adventurer. Then, don't be surprised when talking about it, Hawke is such a young boy. Just a few days after I transferred to another job, I married his sister.”
"Ehhhhhh?"
Regarding the result of this slight expansion, Lena and Linya couldn't help but let out a soft cry, and even Crodia couldn't help but prick up her ears.
While exclaiming, Lena's eyes flashed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"At this time, people around realized that it was no wonder that Hawke's sister was still unwilling to get married at such an age. She said she wanted to take care of her younger brother. It turned out that the two siblings had already seen each other."
At this point, Carlos couldn't help but smile, but the smile on his face quickly cooled down and turned into sadness.
Sensing the changes in Carlos, smart women like Linya and Lena also knew that according to the current situation, the more happiness unfolds, the more tragic the consequences will be.
"Time passed a few years later. Hawke's adventure team was already planning to challenge Andariel and complete the camp's promotion mission. It just so happened that Hawke's sister... no, it should be said that his wife now, as early as a few days ago She also got pregnant a few months ago. At that time, Hawke was quite confused and couldn't decide whether to leave with his wife. Fortunately, both of them were orphans and had nothing to worry about in the camp. In the end, he decided to follow Hawke. The whole family moved at a pace, but at this moment..."
Carlos's face sank, and he spoke word by word amidst everyone's heavy expressions.
"At this time, the village where the two of them were located was attacked by monsters."
"Hawke's wife..."
Lena gently covered her mouth, and a layer of crystal light appeared in her beautiful eyes. It was such a beautiful story, why didn't God allow it to have a happy ending?
"Yes, he died in that attack with a nine-month-old child in his belly."
Everyone was silent for a while.
"But... Lord Carlos, since it was a monster that killed Hawk's wife, why does he hate the Alliance so much?"
In the heavy atmosphere, Linya asked a very crucial question that no one noticed.
"Because he felt that the Alliance killed his wife. At that time, Hawke found out that the reason why his wife died was because the Alliance abandoned his wife."
"This...what on earth is going on?"
Linya and Lena exclaimed in disbelief. They did not believe that the Alliance would do such a thing, especially under the protection of Akela.
"At that time, you must have not yet been born, or you may have just been born." Looking at his second daughter, Carlos smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"So, you can't imagine how weak the alliance was at that time. It is definitely not the strong alliance it is now. Great Elder Akara also has a lot of helplessness, but..."
After a pause, Carlos continued:
"Although Hawke did not tell me the details of the situation at that time, I secretly checked and found out that Lord Akala cannot be blamed for this matter..."
"Sir Carlos, what exactly happened at that time?"
"As far as I know, Hawke's village had been alerted before it was attacked. The guards in the village at that time were unable to resist the monster, and rescue could not arrive in time, so they had no choice but to flee with the whole village."
"The old man, the pregnant child... slow down the escape... right?"
Linya suddenly murmured in a low voice. As the intended heir of the Edward family, she knew many things and history about the camp. This was not the first time this happened.
"Yes, these people are too fast to escape the monsters' pursuit and attacks, so they gave up on themselves."
There was silence.
Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, in this world, such things do not just happen occasionally. Just like animals, sometimes they will choose to commit collective suicide in order to protect the tribe. The old, weak, sick and disabled are actually quite aware. .
"But...even if it is slowed down, there are many ways to solve it. A strong man can escape with one on his back. He also has tools like pulling a cart."
"Indeed, that's what we did back then. Starting from the youngest child, we give priority to the opportunity to escape."
"Isn't Hawke's wife pregnant? She should also have this opportunity." This time, Croatia couldn't help but ask.
"Indeed, but think about it, she was already nine months pregnant at that time. If she had to bear such a bump, the child in her belly would definitely not be safe."
Silence again.
"In order to protect the child in her belly, Hawke's wife gave up this opportunity and fled to other places with a glimmer of hope, but she still failed..."
"This woman is so great..."
If you sacrifice your child, you have a 99% chance of surviving, but if you want to keep your child, then both of you have less than a 50% chance.
Faced with this choice, Hawke's wife still chose the latter.
From her, everyone felt a vast and boundless maternal love regardless of high or low.
"Then Hawke..."
"Hawke was already crazy at the time and couldn't listen at all. He would never listen in the future. He felt that the Alliance had abandoned his wife and then hypocritically created these lies, so he chose to fall."
"His wife is his spiritual support. Every time I read the few words that Hawke recalled, I can feel how deep the relationship between these two siblings, the two couples, and their dependence on each other is. Even after death, the other person will never live alone. At that time, if Hawke could accept the facts, then he would most likely choose to commit suicide. His hatred for the Alliance made him choose to live."
"Do these people also have such sad stories as Hawke?"
Linya murmured softly as her eyes fell on the corpses.
"That's right, every corpse carries almost the same sadness as Hawke." Carlos nodded.
"So, they are both hateful and extremely pitiful. Lena, your actions and your compassion are not wrong. It would be so gratifying if such a person could be reborn."
Lena was deep in thought, and no one disturbed her. After a while, she breathed out softly and clenched her fists. The seemingly delicate fists, in the eyes of others, were full of Lena's strong emotions at this time. Determination and will.
"Sir Carlos, thank you for your advice. Lena will always remember it."
"Don't take the advice seriously. This is just a little bit of my thoughts. I hope Lena can put more of your thoughts on this in the future."
Lena and Linya looked at each other and nodded in unison, seeming to have made up their minds.
"Hey, Ma, are you still alive?"
At this time, Cook's voice from the side attracted everyone's attention. They saw him squatting next to the old horse whose armor was scorched and lying on the ground, slapping him repeatedly.
That's right, it was Malagby who made a heroic sacrifice by blocking a meteorite with his tent.
Malagby, Cook and White Wolf had been in the tent just now, following Linya and Lena. Ever since they learned from Akela that the Fallen Alliance might come to mess with White Wolf, they had not sat there anymore. Unable to hold on anymore, he dragged his teammates with him, intending to provide 24-hour personal protection for his precious sister. Anyone who dared to approach Lena within ten meters would be under his strict surveillance. Became a wolf father protecting his calf.
"Dead, even if alive, I will be slapped to death by you."
Malagby, who originally wanted to kill him and continue to defraud him of more sympathy, got angry under the continuous crackling sounds and yelled at Cook with a red and swollen look that had been slapped into a pig's head.
"Aren't I worried about you?"
Cook, who got the advantage, sneered and ducked out to prevent Malagby from retaliating.
"You just want to slap me, right?"
Standing up from the ground angrily, patting the dust off his body, Malagbi's eyes rolled and suddenly started to sparkle.
That's right, just like the brave man in the story accompanying the picture, after slaying the dragon and rescuing the princess, he takes the princess back to the castle. In the picture on the last page, there will always be a few lights flashing on the background of the brave man. Indicates a happy ending.
"Sister-in-law Linya, Lena, are you okay?"
Gently raising his burnt bangs, Malagbi's look clearly said, I have made great achievements, please praise me quickly.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you, we would be in danger."
Linya and Lena smiled and thanked them, but there was a hint of subtlety in their smiles that Malagby could not see.
At this time, I really couldn't say the words "In fact, a defensive magic circle has been set up around the tent to prevent one or two meteorite attacks, which is no problem."
"Hmph, heroes don't leave their names behind. Please don't fall in love with me, Malagbi."
Maintaining a sparkling look, Malagby stepped on the stone and assumed the victory pose of a brave man after slaying the dragon.
Everyone: "..."
I have no idea what this narcissistic idiot is talking about.
However, thanks to Malagbi's banter, the heavy atmosphere just brought by Hawke has eased a lot at this time.
"Soon, Lena and Linya commanded the soldiers to clean up the corpses on the ground one by one. After Carlos' words, many soldiers who were originally full of disgust for the fallen also felt pity in their hearts. For these The body was cremated in a decent manner.
Otherwise, these guys who dared to attack Lady Linya and Lady Lena would have the soldiers throw their corpses into the big earthen pot of the Sinking Demon.
As for Hawk, of course, Carlos will handle it himself.
"Huh?"
Just when Carlos lifted Hawke's body and was about to find a place to bury it, he suddenly found something on the ground and hurriedly squatted down and looked carefully.
"Sir Carlos, what did you find?"
Everyone who noticed Carlos's movements couldn't help but move forward.
"Look."
Carlos pointed to the ground with a serious look on his face, and looking down his hand, there was a word written on it.
The place where the words are located is right near Hawke's hand after he fell. There is no doubt that this should be left by Hawke.
What exactly is it? At the last moment of his death, Hawke left a message on the ground. What did he want to tell everyone? It was something that he could not say in front of his friends while he was alive.
Thinking of this, everyone's expressions became serious, and their eyes were all focused on the words on the ground.
The characters were written crookedly and were extremely difficult to read, but there was no other way. It was impossible to expect a dying person to be able to write large characters with flying colors.
The word "song".
Although it is ugly, there is no doubt that it should be this word.
Hawke, what exactly do you want to say?
As for the lyrics of the song...
Invariably, a figure flashed through everyone's mind, and then they laughed a few times and muttered that it was impossible, impossible. Especially Linya and Lena were the most awkward, as if their husbands were having sex outside. It's like something embarrassing.
Naturally, the first thing they thought of was someone who claimed to be the God of Singing. They couldn't help but enjoy that voice and think how good they sang. The impression it gave everyone was so impactful. It's so profound that when you see a song word, you will think of the other person almost immediately.
However, everyone immediately ruled out this possibility
What Hawk wants to remind everyone is that it cannot be a certain [Song God] in any case. Although he is indeed a fool, this fool is too powerful, so powerful that it is difficult for any wisdom to take advantage of it.
Assuming that Linya and Lena were the leaders commanding this operation of the Fallen Alliance, they would not be able to set their sights on this person. This was completely seeking death.
So……
"It's Sister Willas," Lena exclaimed first.
That's right, Roger Diva, Vilas
