Forty-two relics

If Thomas could go back, he would definitely get the title of Duke when he was rewarded by merit. In addition to the title of Duke, he would also have to obtain a series of hereditary privileges. Given that he had no children and could not truly achieve "hereditary", the princess would probably generously give him some rare privileges, such as the right to mint coins, tax exemption, etc. In short, Thomas is qualified to obtain everything that the king can reward his subordinates.

However, all worldly rewards are meaningless at this moment. Thomas is unable to return to his homeland, to hold a parade, to receive cheers from the masses. In fact, Thomas is already feeling the call of death at this moment. He is about to die.

"What a beautiful scenery. I wonder why the Paro people are so stupid. They don't enjoy such a beautiful country and want to run to Casillos to start a war." Looking at the sunset, Thomas murmured to himself.

"They have been punished as they deserve." Leo replied in a gentle and calm tone. But anyone could hear that this tone was pretending.

"But thanks to you, this war would not have ended so soon. Ashu Rufate, Leo, you performed well and did better than anyone else. And William Daly... But I can thank him later."

"Mr. Thomas... I'm sorry... I can't... I can..." Ashu Rufate suddenly couldn't control his emotions and fell to Thomas.

"Don't be sad, child. You have tried your best... Leo has told me..." Thomas put his skinny hands on Ashu Rufate's head and gently touched it. When he said "child", some liquid fell from Ashu Rufate's eyes uncontrollably.

"I have lived for so many years and can be considered an old man. I really have nothing to be afraid of death. I will sooner or later come to this day. It is really a blessing to die in such a beautiful evening."

Thomas stared at the sunset in the distance for a few seconds.

"I have a few gifts for you, I don't know if you are willing to accept them." He looked at the two of them.

"This is my vault key, and the vault is in the basement below my castle. This is my private certificate of deposit in four chambers of commerce...you can get one for each of you."

Neither Ashrufate nor Leo moved.

"I have no children, so my inheritance can only be handed over to you. In fact, in my initial plan, these four orders, you two, William Daly, and Ryan, each one. My vault was given to our little princess. But the plan did not change quickly." Thomas said with a faint smile. He stuffed the key to the vault into Leo's hand and placed the four orders in Ashu Rufat's hand.

"And this, this is my cellar key. It was originally reserved for that guy William Daly, but it seems that he doesn't need this anymore. Leo, I remember you said you'd be married when you go back. If you hold a wedding banquet, those wines will definitely come in handy." He stuffed the second key into Leo's hand.

"And this." Thomas took out a book and placed it in front of Ashu Rufate. "This is what I recorded when I was bored. Some messy things can also represent my feelings and experiences over time. Ashu Rufate, if you have the aspiration to command the army, this thing should give you some insights."

Seeing Ashu Rufat pick up the book, a smile appeared on Thomas's face.

"Actually, until now, I realized that I had made a big mistake in the past. I wrote a military book and then hoped that someone could understand it and understand my original intention and wisdom. But this approach was completely wrong. Every general naturally had different views on the same things because of his nature and experience, even a slight difference. It is impossible for anyone to have a completely consistent nature and experience with me, so it is just a joke to use military book to teach others my experience and lessons. Ashu Rufate, I want to thank you. It was through you that I realized that I made such a mistake. Although it was a little late, it was better than dying in a daze."

He looked at the faces of the two people, smiled and comforted, "Don't be sad. Why be sad? People will die once. Isn't it the best result to die like me, standing at the top of glory and reputation? Take my piano."

Leo took Thomas's lyre and handed it to Thomas. The latter slowly began to adjust the strings with his trembling hands.

"Okay, you guys go away. Let me live quietly for a while alone."

The two walked away for a while, and then heard Thomas's singing floating in the sunset with the sound of the piano.

"... The sharp teeth and sharp claws flashed, the comrades fell and the bones fell... I was tired and disabled, and sometimes I broke the swords all over the battlefield... The blood flowed all over the earth, my hands and feet gradually condensed in the iron clothes, the sea of ​​blood, the mountain of corpses smiled at the sky, our heroes never grow old... Heaven is ruthless and many disasters, our generation has experienced vicissitudes of life, our spirits are firm, and glory has been with loneliness since ancient times..."

His piano and singing suddenly stopped, leaving only the last lingering sound that lasted for a long time.

...

Irina jumped off the back of the Pegasus with excitement and a little fatigue.

Riding a Pegasus is really a rare pleasure. Pegasus and ordinary horses are two completely different creatures. Knights rarely ride tame horses, because they are not as fast or explosive as the fierce horses. Therefore, an important indicator of measuring the quality of a horse is whether the character is strong enough. Among the horses Irina has ridden, there are few horses that are obedient and follow the wishes of the owner as soon as she rides. Especially when she escapes under the pursuit of the greyhound, she rides quickly and has a psychological shadow.

But Pegasus is completely different. In addition to having the power and speed far exceeding ordinary horses, Pegasus is also an animal that is extremely gentle to its owner. They are in harmony with their owners. Irina only needs a little movement, and Pegasus will immediately obey, sweeping across the sky or galloping across the earth at a speed that ordinary horses cannot match.

Sitting on the back of a Pegasus and feeling the strong wind brought by the highway passing through her face was really fascinating. The only regret is that she had not had the opportunity to enjoy this happiness until now.

Two maids handed her a wet and hot towel (the towels were heated with burnt stones) and a glass of cider that was just right. After enjoying these refreshing things, Irina walked in her palace with relaxed steps. This is her palace, everything belongs to her. The maid followed her immediately, and at any time, the mighty guard standing guard immediately saluted as soon as she saw her. Here, she is the highest master.

It's not just this mere palace. In this country, she is the supreme ruler. Everyone has to respect and obey her orders. She hasn't experienced this feeling for too long, but really, this feeling of mastering everything is more intoxicating than riding a pegasus.

A messenger, accompanied by the guards, was waiting quietly around the corner of the corridor. When she arrived, the messenger respectfully presented a front-line battle report. Every day there was good news and the next good news. Thomas, her general, defeated the Paro people in the foggy grassland, and killed the enemy's chief general, a prince of Paro. Other battlefields also reported successive news. Today, this letter is one of them. Another border castle was captured by her army. Due to famine, the Paro defenders who were unable to fight were forced to surrender.

She read it roughly, then handed the letter to the clerk who put it away and filed it.

"Your Highness, your ministers are already waiting for you in the conference room." A maid whispered.

"Well, I understand." Actually it doesn't matter. She is the monarch, and the wait for the ministers is natural.

"Your Highness Princess!" A voice came, and a woman appeared in the corridor. The person who spoke was a young girl, about the same size as Irina, and a very beautiful and slender woman.

"Roylene?" Irina was very happy to see this female companion of the same age. This woman is the daughter of the palace director Earl Rowling. She is known as Little Rowling and has the right to enter and exit the palace at will. She is a very likable girl with a slim figure and laughter. Now she has become Irina's best female companion in the palace, or at least one of them.

"Your Highness, where are you going so busy?" She looked at Irina's entourage with a flashing gaze, and her expression clearly indicated that she had something fun to tell Irina.

"A big meeting." Irina replied. "Rolling, wait for me to come back. The meeting will not be too long today."

She walked through the long aisle and out of the living area of ​​the palace. When she entered the conference room, her ministers stood up and paid tribute to him. Today, the meeting was large, and almost all the ministers with enough weight participated.

The most important topic today is about the frontline battle situation - in fact, during the war, this is always the most important topic. The Paro people can no longer defend the front line of the border castle. Their support was cut off and the supplies were exhausted. At this moment, they could only barely delay hunger and fullness. However, Thomas' victory made all their persistence meaningless. Now it is confirmed that General Thomas achieved a brilliant victory along the way, annihilated nearly 100,000 Paro's army, and beat the Paro people to the point of being in a daze, and could not even find the North.

"Your Highness, how do you plan to end this war?" someone asked.

"Avenge my father!" Irina replied decisively. "I want to destroy Paro!"

She noticed that her ministers did not respond. Did she say something wrong?

"Your Highness... We all understand your desire to avenge your parents and your brother, but the problem now is..."

"Question? Can't we beat Paro?" Irina asked in confusion. Thomas had already eliminated the main force of the Paro people. The Paro army in the border castle area was about to end. In other words, this battle is already sure to win.

"Of course we can beat Paro. St. Gene has this power!" After a long time, someone finally spoke. "General Thomas has destroyed the main force of Paro's army, and we have already won. The problem is... other countries..."
