You and me under the world tree

"His Majesty?!"

Etzel's voice was very small, almost none.

So the soldiers didn't notice what their beloved Son of God, His Majesty the King, said.

They only knew that King Etzel was extremely weak.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Just like that, Etzel whispered.

Then, he let out a long sigh.

"Actually, I just woke up before, so there are many things that are not particularly clear."

Just such a short sentence here should be regarded as an explanation.

And his guards will not doubt these words, because his prestige as the King of Punishment lies here.

As long as the answer is not too outrageous, then these soldiers who trust him will not think wildly.

However, fundamental questions remain.

Moreover, not everyone is smart enough to hide their doubts in their hearts.

There are always a few simple-minded guys among the warriors who are used to fighting.

"Didn't Lord Bertha say that?"

At this moment, a guard suddenly asked.

Also because of this reason, others couldn't help paying attention to him.

However, Etzel is an old fritter after all, so his expression will not change at all.

"No, Bertha is mainly responsible for taking care of my wife after all."

When he said this, he still laughed.

After all, to the Son of God, the goddess Bertha from God's Domain is like a sister or an elder.

Therefore, it is inevitable to feel some restraint in words.

But at the same time, anyone could see his embarrassment at the moment.

It's like something scandalous has been discovered.

"She came here to take care of my wife. I shouldn't let her spend more energy."

That's what Etzel said.

Now he looks like a kid who has to let his elders wipe his ass.

But after he came to his senses, he had to rely on himself for all of this.

"After all, Hungary was created by me and belongs to me."

He sighed.

"Actually, she is willing to help me deal with the aftermath, which is considered as the utmost kindness. I have no reason to ask her to tell me anything. Losing her temper and questioning at will are not the behavior that a mature man should have."

"Then, Your Majesty."

"what happened?"

"Are the people who attacked you really those dark wizards?"

Then, Etzel's expression gradually became serious.

He didn't make people aware of the complexity in his heart.

"Yes, that power is extremely evil, as if there is a trembling from the depths of the soul, I even guess that it is definitely not the power possessed by normal humans or giants."

He just described it.

Anyway, he understood that that man was taking the blame for the Nether Queen deep in the north, no matter what he did or what he said.

So that's what he said.

It's over for this scapegoat to be held by Hela, and theoretically speaking, she probably won't know about it.

But there is one thing that is true in all these invented tendencies and insinuations.

That's how he feels.

After seeing the phantom of the black dragon emerging from behind the black-robed sage, he felt this kind of trembling.

It's like life is coming to an end.

It's ridiculous to say that he is a son of god or a giant, but he is not a fragile human being.

But at that time, for the first time in his life, he had the feeling of wanting to escape.

It's like meeting the end of the end thing.

In the end, Etzel shook his head and shook off the messy feeling in his mind.

Then, with a helpless smile, he concluded:

"After that, as you can see, I fell down."

However, this flirty summary inevitably caused dissatisfaction among the soldiers.

It's just that this dissatisfaction is not aimed at Etzel himself.

It was the attacker they were targeting.

That is, the black wizard who was completely fabricated.

"If it wasn't for the dark wizard's poisoning and trickery, His Majesty would not have lost the battle!"

That's what they answered.

And this is the final answer they got.

In this regard, they have no doubts.

Although they hadn't really seen the whole process of that battle with their own eyes, out of their trust and admiration for Etzel, they never believed that the mighty Etzel would be defeated on the frontal battlefield.

Even though he had broken his 'undefeated golden body', he suffered a big loss on Gothic's eastern defense line, and even caused the entire vanguard army to be wiped out.

However, the people and soldiers still have full trust in him.

"Okay, there's nothing to say about this kind of thing."

However, this trust brings more than a sense of responsibility.

At least at this time, Etzel only felt complicated.

For the first time, he felt that it was very difficult to respond to the expectations of the people he saved.

After all, he is not as versatile as they imagined.

The Son of God is not invincible, after all, he has already failed.

"I'm counting on you tonight."

Saying this to the guards, Etzel finally walked slowly into his castle.

In the end, he avoided the subject.

Good afternoon everyone_(:з」∠)_

Chapter 100: A Heavy Burden

After quickly walking into the castle hall again, Etzel slowly exhaled a foul breath.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.

Because before, he found that he had no way to face the expectant and trusting eyes of those guards.

As for why, it is naturally related to what these warriors who worshiped him said.

They believed that he would never be defeated in the frontal battle, because he was the son of God and the king of punishment in Hungary.

Moreover, this was when it was clearly learned that he was attacked and unconscious.

After that vain invincible golden body was defeated, they took the initiative to find various reasons for him.

They seem to have completely ignored the previous strategic and tactical failure on the Eastern defense.

The one who decided to launch the attack was himself, and the one who buried the entire vanguard was also himself.

However, the people seemed to only care about him smashing the valley defense line that Goth was proud of, and didn't care about the casualties at all.

In the beginning, Etzer's somewhat awkward thoughts tended to his own strategy of ruling Hungary.

For example:

It was he who gave these residents a place to settle down, he who saved them, and gave order to this chaotic land.

He would love to think so.

However, he also knew in his heart that such a thing was completely impossible.

In fact, throughout Hungary, because of the existence of him, the Son of God, the belief in the gods can be said to have been stabilized.

Because he was the one who brought this belief.

He is the Son of God, so every move must represent the will of the gods.

In this case, the so-called war will be labeled in various ways.

And the original pain that should exist seems to be suppressed.

why?

Not because of the legend:

The heroic warriors who died in battle will be guided to the realm of the gods by the Valkyries, as servants of the gods, or Enheria in the Hall of Valor will share eternal life with the gods.

And in Hungary, with a 'beloved' Son of God as king, this is no longer a fairy tale.

It is a reality that can be touched completely.

In other words, the mentality of the people of Hungary has gone from one extreme to the other.

In the past, it was because they were always on the verge of life and death, and encountering monsters in the nomadic settlements where they lived had almost become a common occurrence.

In this case, they no longer have any fear of death.

Because the kind of numbness they are accustomed to makes them lose the power of fear and sadness.

Once upon a time, living on this eastern plain was so difficult.

But now, after returning to an orderly life, they have gone to another extreme.

Because of the existence of the Son of God, they clearly touched the gods they knew from heaven.

Therefore, they no longer fear death, because they firmly believe in that tradition: those who die bravely in battle will be accepted by the gods.

For such Hungarian people, the boundary between life and death seems to have become blurred.

It's like changing a place to continue living.

And Etzel deeply understood that the one who led them to this step was himself.

It was his presence, the banner he played, that led them to this thought.

It was his presence that made them feel secure.

However, what makes Etzel feel even more uneasy is that his purpose is completely opposite to what the people think.

Even without the existence of that sage, his thoughts would cause the realm of the gods to collapse.

Because he wanted to put all his eggs in one basket and kill the culprit.

He wanted to go all the way to Iceland by way of war, so that the man who had promised to treat Gonglu well and not let her suffer any grievances or injuries would apologise.
