Beast Tamer, Wither Skeleton's Storm Journey

Chapter 116: Knights and the City Live and Die Together

Habib Ende turned and looked at the villagers who were gathering in the square outside.

"Captain! They are leaving. Shall we go?"

Just then, a militiaman wearing an iron hat came in and asked Habib Ende, who was one of the people who shot arrows at Silla the day before.

This time he came to find Habib Ende, obviously he didn't want to stay in this city anymore.

"Let's go, you go pack your things."

Habib Ende said to the man, and the boy wearing an iron helmet turned to look at Silla, who did not refute and watched him run out to pack up.

"So you're really not leaving?"

Silla leaned against the door frame and turned to look at Habib Ende who was still sharpening his sword. He seemed to be afraid of nothing.

“Go ask those people. Many of them are also forced to stay here.”

"I won't leave."

Silla looked at him for a long time and smiled.

"You should understand their fighting power. Those weak soldiers will not survive more than two days if they follow me. Do you understand?"

Of course Habib Ende understood, but he still shook his head.

"Bray is a very responsible boy. His mother died early and his father went to the front. He stayed here with me."

"If we can take him, he should be able to survive."

"Are you really not leaving?"

Habib Ender shook his head

"You don't need to ask me, this is my home, everything I have is here."

"The city lord left, he is a foreigner, the residents left because they were fleeing, but I am a knight, I cannot leave."

"My family, my glory, everything I have is here. I can't leave. I can't leave."

"What the hell, which of these is more important than life?"

Habib Ende raised his head and looked at Sala

“I know you don’t want me to die, and I also know you are very strong, Silla.”

"But just like you said, the power of one person will eventually be limited. No matter how strong you are, you can't save the situation."

"No matter how strong you are, you are not strong enough to force Hell to withdraw its troops. If you leave this city, you will be wandering endlessly. I am a knight, and I am not used to this."

Silla was silent. He looked at Habib Ende quietly without saying anything.

"I can't say anything profound, Silla, this may be the most I've ever spoken."

"But I wish you will never be caught by the minions of hell."

"Haha, you might as well wish that I could kill my way through hell."

Silla looked at Habib Ende, shook his head slowly, turned around and went out to ask the soldiers who followed him. In the end, out of the thirty-four people, no one was willing to stay here with Habib Ende.

All living things are afraid of death. No matter how high-sounding the words are before they happen, they will still be afraid.

A person like Habib Ende, who is strong-hearted and has faith, knows that death will come, but he is not afraid. But those 34 people are different.

They knew death was coming, but there was still a glimmer of hope before that. They did not have a strong heart like Habby Ende, so they would naturally escape.

This is why Sla wants to win over Habib Ende. Such a knight deserves respect.

Half an hour later, Habib Ende looked at the empty square. It was clearly daytime, but it was even more deserted than late at night. He was the only one left in the city.

"They all left, why don't you leave too?"

Silla appeared next to Habib Ende. He really felt that Habib Ende should not die here.

“Silla, you don’t look like an indecisive skeleton.”

"I treat you as a friend, I don't ask any more questions to strangers."

Hearing Silla's words, Habib Ende smiled and shook his head.

"No."

"This is the last time. You are the only one left in this city."

"Go, Silla. After all, I am the last knight in this city. I swore an oath when I was a child that I would protect this city."

Silla said no more, but just shot a wisp of withering corruption onto Habib Ender, then quietly disappeared.

This time, Habib Ender became a hero and the only guardian knight of the city.

The night passed in a flash, and it was the next morning.

Silla and Su Mingli woke up in the Zhou family's seaside villa. After moving their bodies, which were slightly stiff from meditating all night, Su Mingli got up and washed.

"There will be a Zhou family ship taking us to ask Cangyuan later. We just need to kill the two spirit beast-level snake monsters when we get there."

"The intelligence only says that it has intelligence. The fishermen who escaped from fishing at sea cannot tell what level it is. We still need to be prepared."

"Then take Chang Ji."

"I think so too."

As the two were talking, they came out of the villa and heard sounds coming from the small port in the distance.

The two of them were also going to the port, so they hurried there. After passing two intersections, a ship several dozen meters long came into view.

Next to the warship, there were many members of the Zhou family with silver lines on their faces. They were pulling a marlin out of the sea.

The two of them took a look and saw that the marlin was at least eight meters long and looked like a spiritual beast. Zhou Mingjing was also in the crowd, talking to someone next to him.

By chance, Zhou Mingyu saw Su Mingli and Sila who were waiting on the roadside and waved to them.

Su Mingli and Silla looked at each other and moved closer.

"Su Mingli, come and see this big fish. My sister and I chased it for dozens of miles before we caught it."

"I cut off a piece of the fattest meat for you, enough for both of you. How about having it for breakfast?"

Su Mingli looked at Zhou Mingyu running to him happily and thanked him sincerely.

"This fish must be a spirit beast, thank you for your help."

Zhou Mingyu waved his hand, and smilingly took Su Mingli to the side of the big fish. At this time, two members of the Zhou family were dismembering the marlin.

The Zhou family kills and dissects the fish they eat. After all, they are still fish, so they will not be slaughtered cruelly.

"Third Aunt! Give me a piece of good meat. I will treat others to a meal."

Zhou Mingyu ran to a woman, hugged her arm and said.

Soon, Zhou Mingyu came over with a two-meter-long strip of fresh fish.

"This ship is the one that will take you to ask Cang Yuan."

"Let's go, get on board. According to the speed of this ship, it will take at least two hours to reach the destination. Let's eat while we walk."

Su Mingli nodded and followed Zhou Mingyu to the gangway on the side of the ship. He estimated the time. It was now half past five, so they would arrive at around seven o'clock.

When we got on the boat, we saw Zhou Mingyu moving the barbecue grill, and Su Mingli went over to help.

Woohoo~

As the ship blew the whistle, the hundred-meter-long ship left the port and headed towards Wen Zangyuan.

"Sister Mingli, this is a disposable space preservation bag for you."

"After all, you will be returning to the inland in two days. You can try to catch some high-level seafood on the seabed to taste."

Zhou Mingyu handed Su Mingli a bag, which was the size of a palm, but she said it could hold five or six sea beasts that were several dozen meters long.

"I always have a bad feeling, and I really don't like this feeling."

Silla looked at the fish turning on the grill and said to Su Mingli.

"What does it feel like?"

"It's like the feeling when we were building the Gate of Hell, but it's much lighter than that. It's like we've become pawns being manipulated again."

"........"

"There is no need to remain silent. With the favor of the sea, no one who comes this time will get anything good."
