Chapter 260 Decision

"I never thought he would be so powerful... My Mikel, I really didn't know that he had such a side in the past. He was always gentle and polite to us, and never used violence even if he had a chance to argue. But at this moment, he was facing a furious beast, but my Mikel was not afraid and did not retreat at all."

"They fought in front of me, twenty steps ahead of me. His subordinates rushed over and fought in a group with the Chaos Warriors. The soldiers' spears with the terrifying Chaos Warriors were fighting with the dying Chaos Warriors. My Mikel was there, a one-on-one matchup with the monster. The soldiers on both sides wanted to help their generals, but in the end, no one could do it."

"At that moment I will never forget, my Mikel jumped, swung his sword, blocked the grid. Although he was wearing armor, his movements were as flexible as a cat. The monster waved the giant weapon in his hand, the weapon that could easily chop five people up with one blow, but he avoided each blow. In the intervals of the battle, he also provoked the other party. It was precisely because of what he said that I realized that the camp outside the enemy city had been captured by our reinforcements. In this war, the Chaos Legion was defeated."

"And then in that gap, he looked at me and made an action on me. Then at that moment, I realized that he was rushing over like this and didn't have a fever, he was here to save me. Because if he didn't come, that monster would definitely kill all of us."

"Ah, at that moment, how brave he was, far beyond my imagination. The Chaos monster was so angry that he was provoked by him, and completely forgot about us. The monster hit him for the first time. It was not a head hit, but a rubbing his shield... It was just rubbing his shield... The thick oak made of steel and covered with steel was directly broken. He rolled sideways, and the giant blade of the giant beast penetrated into the earth, and it was not time to pull it back. He rolled away, and the giant blade of the giant beast penetrated into the earth.

In the moment, he rushed up, held the sword in his hands, and slashed the monster's neck with all his might. He split the monster's neck in half. But the monster also made a dying counterattack, and the giant blade retracted hit him. In the face of unimaginable force, he flew up two people high, hitting the inner city wall, and then slid down from above. His helmet fell from his head and fell to the ground, completely deformed. His face was covered with blood..."

As my aunt spoke, her voice became more and more sad. That might be the most memorable moment in her life.

"I rushed up and he was lying there, soft, like a scarecrow. I didn't know what was going on anymore. I only remember him smiling at me and trying to speak, but his mouth opened and a stream of blood spurted out..."

"Someone pulled me away, some people called the doctor to come over quickly... but I left the vague impression. When I woke up, I found myself standing at the door of my house. There were several soldiers I didn't know, wearing armor and covered in blood, standing in front of me. They comforted me and told me to mourn me."

"His body was placed in the middle of the room, the place where he used to drink tea, read, and chat with me. It was too late and the war was out. On that night with the bright moon, I saw him who could no longer see me and never talk to me... Several famous doctors in the city were... But they did nothing, and a priest stood there, muttering nonstop. He was carried away by them... I asked my sisters, they all

The Ministry said I don’t know. No one knew where they were. The outer city was full of corpses, many of them were fragments, and I couldn’t tell who they were. Later I realized that the Chaos Legion spent a huge price and suffered heavy losses to break through the outer city. But we couldn’t retreat, and many people who didn’t have time to hide in the inner city became the targets of Chaos Warriors’ anger. Many people turned into a pile of meat, yes, a pile of meat, you can’t recognize who they were at all.”

"He was put in a mourning hall next to the cemetery in the city. Because under normal circumstances, the dead, especially the nobles, had to go through a ritual of a watch. Many people blocked me, hoping that I would not go, saying anything stimulated me too much, but no one could stop me. Some people said I was half crazy. Others told me that it was him inside, but I said I didn't believe what they said, and I must believe it after seeing me. I don't believe that I am so brave and so cool.

He left like this. They finally gave in. A soldier whom I didn't know came over and blocked all the people who dissuaded me and let me go in alone. I heard him speak, and he said that this was the last night for us couples, and I would keep him in and let me be with him. I walked in alone and walked in. I looked at the man lying in the mourning hall, my beloved husband. I didn't cry and scream, I just went up and sat down at him

It was just like our usual habits. I was alone with a corpse, but I was not afraid at all. How could I be afraid? On the contrary, I was comforting him and telling him not to worry. I can no longer remember what I was saying at that time, but I said for a long time, as if I could not finish it. He lay there motionlessly, listening silently. Later, the wound on his head oozed blood and black blood. I wiped my handkerchief and continued to say that not only wiped his blood, but also my tears. A handkerchief blended with his blood and tears. I realized that I was very selfish. In fact, I always wanted him to possess him alone. But only at that moment, he really belonged to me. Although I had many marriages in my life, every time I recalled, I could only think of the happy moments of my being with him. He seemed to be my only man, and I was his only woman..."

Aunt Mary was already crying and could no longer say anything. Ashu Rufate held her with his hands and waited silently. After a long time, her mood calmed down.

"Ha... Later they found the bodies of my sisters... To be specific, they only found four, all incomplete. There were three, and there were no more, only the piles of corpses. The Chaos Legion, ours, were burned by the church people. Finally, according to tradition, they took out their clothes, made a tomb, and buried them with him. Then, when I came to my senses, I found that I was the only one left. I inherited all his property - and there were connections. Because of my identity as a vassal, the nobles who had contact with him in the past had to sell me some face. But I couldn't continue to stay in White Fort - that was a military land, and I must not be without a guard for a day... and then... and then today!"

When my aunt said these words, her expression was a little dull. Perhaps the sadness caused by the memories was too heavy and exceeded her load.

"I'm sorry, I let you listen to my old lady's complaint for a long time..." My aunt came to her senses and suddenly said.

"No, no, aunt." Ashu Rufate's eyes were on his aunt's unfinished painting. Now he knew that the background of the painting was White Castle (it should be at the gate of a certain city). The past that my aunt just mentioned sounded touching. "I'm really sorry, Count Mikel actually..."

The old woman seemed to have exhausted all her energy, sat down again (when she was excited just now, she had already stood up), and let out a long sigh.

"I've been wasting your time." She said with her head down.

"It's time for me to go up," said Ashu Rufate.

"It's better... let me tell them." Aunt Mary grabbed Ash Rufate's clothes. "If you go directly... it's a bit too cruel for those two girls."

"Auntie, I remember at the beginning, you didn't allow me to marry them both, right?"

"Yes..." Aunt Mary was stunned for a moment.

"The engagement at the beginning was just to marry one of them. Later, it was because of my willfulness that it became like this." Ash Rufate said. "The so-called engagement was originally based on consensual consent. If the man and woman really don't get along with each other, then the engagement has no meaning, although it can be terminated. On the contrary, even if there is no engagement and they get along well with each other, they can become husband and wife. In fact, in a sense, engagement is just an opportunity, and the real key lies in both parties themselves."

He lowered his head and gently hugged the old woman. "Auntie, thank you very much for giving me such a chance to get to know them and get along with them. If I fell off the cliff and were injured that day and didn't meet you, I don't know what the result would be."

He let go of his hand. "I said I would marry them as long as they don't regret it. And, aunt, you know, I'm really just one wedding away from them."

He walked up the stairs. A puzzle was completely solved in his heart, without any suspense. But this did not solve the problem. There were still many questions in his heart.

Moreover, if the aunt hadn't lie--Aunt Mary was really unlikely to lie just now--it seemed like something strange.

From what his aunt said and the historical records about this war he had read, the Chaos Legion seemed to have done something very strange. The Chaos Legion was obviously siegeing the city at that time - and then suddenly found that the enemy reinforcements appeared from behind. In this case, when facing the enemy's attack, all he had to do was to withdraw the siege troops and try to retreat from the battlefield. Although this is actually a difficult thing, and often requires a suicide squad to cover the retreat of the main force, in terms of military tactics, this is the only option in such situations.

However, according to my aunt's words, the Chaos Legion at that time adopted an unexpected choice. Not only did they not shrink their troops to prepare for enemy reinforcements to raid, they instead strengthened their offensive against the city. It is believed that because of this reason, Earl Mikel miscalculated the enemy's actions, which led to the enemy's breakthrough in the outer wall. Otherwise, a guard and an experienced general would have no reason to make the mistake of not having time to withdraw the wounded to the inner city.

Of course, in terms of tactics, this is just a small defeat. Because White Fort is a solid fortress with triple walls, the first wall will not lead to the fall of the castle. In contrast, it is precisely because the Chaos Legion's desperate attack on White Fort that Groney's reinforcements easily broke through the Chaos Legion's camp, and surrounded and finally annihilated the remaining Chaos Legion.

This thought flashed through Ashu Rufate's mind, because at this time Aunt Mary spoke out to stop him.

"Ashu Rufate, wait!"

"Aunt?" Ashu Rufat stopped and watched the old woman leave in a hurry, and then hurried back.

"Look at this." She held a red metal piece in her hand.
