People are at the junction, but they become the incarnation of the sun

Although the flagpole was already rusty, and the spearhead on it was also mottled by the years, he could still see from this battle flag the appearance of the veteran who fought bloody battles while galloping across the battlefield.

Fight alongside Finlay and clear the way for him to lead to the battle between Malenia and Latan.

"...The years are like this, time is like the same, and people will eventually grow old."

For some reason, his heart was very calm, not as sad as he imagined, but rather relieved.

Is it because of past conflicts with veteran O'Neal?

Or is it because they haven't been in contact for a long time?

neither.

I just feel that the ending of disappearing on the battlefield is more worthy of the veteran who has been fighting all his life.

You know, only the battlefield is the destination of a general.

In this way, a dispute with the irrational O'Neal will be avoided, and this veteran's life will come to a successful end.

not to mention....

"Old soldiers will not die, they will only gradually wither and turn into stars, protecting this world forever."

Looking at the battle flag in his hand, he couldn't help but hold it hard, intending to wave it again to pay homage to the heroes who died here in the past.

But when he just waved.

The battle flag in his hand broke. Before the flag even hit the ground, it turned into a puff of dust with the sudden breeze. The half of the long pole in his hand shattered with it and drifted into the distance with the wind.

Looking at the bright night sky where the dust was drifting, he couldn't help but laugh without being surprised at all.

"...That's fine, ashes will return to ashes, dust will return to dust..."

Reinhard said, slowly looking at the spears stuck in the swamp.

The same goes for those spears and the armor floating in the swamp. They gradually disappeared together with the sudden breeze.

It seemed like their mission was over.

"...is he your old friend?"

Melina's voice suddenly sounded in his heart.

After being reminded, Melina also chose to stay in his body obediently.

"Ah, we are old friends, we have fought together."

"Although there have been frictions, big and small, they are still a group of lovely guys."

When he said these words, the corner of his mouth couldn't help but bring up a smile.

Although those days were simple and miserable, it was also a rare experience in life.

"...Then you feel sad because of them?"

"sad?"

Reinhard smiled and shook his head, "No, if I want to say...it's more about relief."

"Guarding the king and disappearing on the battlefield...Saving your life for the king you serve is what knights pursue in life."

Whether it is him or a knight from any other force, even the knights around Greg, they are all the same.

He will sacrifice his heart for the king's ideals and everything anytime and anywhere.

Just like the group of knights who followed Godwin and were willing to cut off their own heads with their own hands.

Even if they die, they will always be by their king's side.

"...I don't understand." Melina responded in confusion.

She really didn't understand, why should she seek death when she could live a better life?

She had also seen the soldiers guarding the temple, but she still could not understand why they chose to cut off her own head.

And this man in front of him.

According to the rumors on the border, this man fought alone against two demigods for the sake of [Princess of the Moon] Lani, who gave up her body, leading to his final death.

Why do this?

Isn't it good to be alive?

"...It's normal that you don't understand, because you haven't met a person who is willing to give his life for him yet. When you meet him, you will understand."

"Although there are some differences, ultimately the method is the same."

"And the so-called knights are such a group of cute but stupid beings."

"For the so-called glory, to fulfill the king's ideal, they will sacrifice everything without any regard for themselves, even if it costs their lives."

As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze from the charming night sky, but as soon as he turned around, he saw a figure quietly emerging from the scarlet swamp not far away.

"Red spirit invasion?"

Reinhard recognized him just like the [Leader of Secret Envoys] Krepp back then.

Although the red spirit is just an incarnation of the original body, it will still affect the original body if it is damaged.

But what he couldn't understand was why he was intercepted and killed by this red spirit.

Even though her whole body was glowing red, like a spirit body, she could still tell that the woman who was attacking her had short shoulder-length hair as bright red as flames.

And it looks a little childish.

However, he would not admit it wrong. This figure was one of the purposes of his trip, Millicent.

The most important thing is that Millicent's hands are intact at this moment, and there is no sign of broken arms at all.

In addition, there is a strange phenomenon.

The invading Millicent did not attack him immediately like other red spirits. Instead, she raised the long knife in her hand and pointed it at him, as if she wanted to convey something to him.

"You want to force me to leave here?" He tried to guess.

As expected, the girl nodded solemnly.

Those scarlet eyes seemed to tell him that this was not the place he should be.

pity....

"I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request... If you want to stop me, then use your skills."

"..."

Hearing this, Hong Ling stood there for a few seconds and looked at him. She didn't know what she was looking at, but there was a bit of sadness in her eyes and she turned around and wanted to leave.

Available in the next second.

Millicent suddenly squatted on the ground covering her body and let out bursts of sobs.

"Hey!"

Is the Crimson Corruption breaking out?

As the human part that was stripped away by [Valkyrie] Marlenia, it was naturally also lodged by scarlet corruption.

This level of sharing also makes Marlenia feel better, and it will not hurt the separated parts.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran over to see what was going on.

However, as soon as he got closer, a burst of wind suddenly struck him.

Swah——

The sharp blade almost scraped across his chest, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

When he looked at Millicent's red spirit again, he found that she had stood up again.

The previous pain no longer exists, and the temperament has changed.

If it was as calm as a lake before, now it is as turbulent as the tide, and the breath has become violent and chaotic.

It seemed like an uncontrollable frenzy.

Those bright red eyes were full of madness, and their eyes were locked on him tightly.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Millicent tapped the water with her toes and struck again.

shhhhh--

The sharp swordsmanship fell one after another, and Reinhardt retreated continuously, dodging every sword.

It has to be said that Millicent's offensive is indeed very strong. She has a bit of the figure of Marlenia back then, and she is very strong in both speed and strength. She can be called a double-A level weak woman.

But the moves are too immature and confusing.

It was easy to avoid her, and even if Finlay or Oga came, they would be able to push her to the ground and rub her.

At the same time, while dodging, he also discovered Millicent's problem.

"...because the Crimson Corruption affects the mind?"

This possibility is not impossible, and it is extremely possible.

Scarlet corruption not only corrodes the body, but also affects the spirit. It makes life worse than death and can also make people go crazy and become full of desire to attack.

"If that's the case, then I don't have to hold back."

Reinhardt's eyes suddenly changed and became cold. The coldness and strong murderous intent immediately made the furious Millicent take a few steps back subconsciously, like a female leopard arching her body, ready to kill and bite at any time. Break him.

"What, you don't dare to come up? Are you already scared?"

Reinhardt chuckled.

This mocking tone seemed to arouse Millicent's desire to attack. She tapped the water again and prepared to make the waterfowl dance wildly.

But at that moment, Reinhard suddenly disappeared.

Appearing in Millicent's arms.

Millicent, who was in the air preparing to use Water Bird Flurry, and Reinhardt, who appeared directly below, looked at each other like this.

Reinhardt slowly showed his white teeth towards Millicentro.

"Girl, your movements are too slow."

It was like a devil's whisper echoing in her ears, but before she could react, a muffled sound suddenly echoed in her body, and she felt a pain in her abdomen, and then her vision began to change rapidly.
