Spearman's Fate

"Ha~ha~ha~"

The almost overdrawn use of the holy light made Alsace's face extremely pale at this time, and the hair that was originally smooth was now sticking to his face in bunches due to sweat, making him look extremely embarrassed. The eye sockets that were sunken due to worry before were like a refugee better than a prince, but even so, the people following Alsace still looked at him with admiration.

Because they can be said to have witnessed the birth of the 'Legend', the dazzling holy light, no one knows its power better than the members of the Silver Hand.

It can be said that if Alsace had not quit the Knights of the Silver Hand, he would almost be accepted as the next leader of the Knights of the Silver Hand by default.

However, compared to the worship of his subordinates, Arthas relied all his strength on the warhammer. If the warhammer itself was not very heavy, he might have fallen there, but even so, he still felt extremely sad. looking around.

The 'ice sculptures' with different shapes mocked his failure and weakness like invisible taunts.

But at this moment, a shadow stood in front of him. Alsace, who barely raised his head, looked at the man holding a red spear in front of him and showed a wry smile. Opened his mouth.

"Thank you, Lancer... Your Excellency."

"Is it too early to thank me? No... Maybe you'll hate me later?"

"?!"

Lancer's inexplicable words made Alsace somewhat at a loss.

Hate each other?

Maybe he used to do this, but now he has 'growth', but he doesn't know how to evaluate the price of this growth. After all, the price of his growth is the civilians of a city. If they can be saved, he will He even hoped to be as proud and ignorant as before, and at this moment, Lancer's explanation rang in his ears.

"I think you are grateful to me, and you should be grateful to me for freezing this city, giving those ordinary citizens the last dignity, and letting them die without pain, but what I want to tell you is——————I didn't Do it."

"Think about it carefully, what did I promise you?"

'If the residents of this city turn into undead in the end, then your teacher and I will destroy them with our own hands. '

Alsace, who was immediately depressed, showed an ecstatic expression.

"Lord Lancer! Could it be that you can save them?"

"No, I can't do it, but I can give them and you a chance. I don't know if you've seen some people 'freeze' themselves when they are on the verge of death. Some of them do this to wait for their teammates. Rescue, and some are because they are waiting for a way to save them. Although 'low temperature' cannot kill these viruses, it can delay them to a certain extent, and you still have a chance to save them! But——— -"

Lancer's expression became serious with the turning point, and Alsace's expression was also extremely tense. At this time, he could not tell at all that he was the prince who led the knights to drive away the legendary dreadlord just now.

Fortunately, Lancer did not have the bad habit of intentionally teasing people, so he directly told the other party the second half of the sentence.

"Although I don't know how you look at this matter, I want to tell you the 'cruelty' of this choice. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Now you may have learned how to adjust your mentality. With the arrival of 'hope', all of this will disappear completely, and when you fail again, you will also get a more terrifying 'despair' than before, are you——are you ready?"

Alsace, who looked extremely embarrassed, showed a bright smile again when facing Lancer's question.

"Does that even need to be said?"

Compared with the lives of the entire city's residents, his "despair" alone is too small, so how could he give up this opportunity?

Lancer also simply nodded at this, with the same confident smile. Although Alsace looks more embarrassed than before, at least he looks more 'mature' and more trustworthy.

"Then if that's the case, let's step into the final Shura battlefield together! As long as the rune array I set up has enough magic power, it can last forever, but even if I can hold on, those frozen citizens will not We must hold on, after all, this low temperature may not be able to kill the plague on them, but if the time is too long, his limbs may be necrotic, and it will not make much sense to relieve the plague by then."

"Is it time..."

For Alsace and the others at this time, time is the most precious strategic material, as long as there is enough time, everything will be easy to talk about, but then he clenched his fist hard.

"We will definitely succeed!"

------

"Now that the Dreadlord has been repelled by us, does that mean that the probability of the 'plague' recurring is reduced? If so, let's use the 'Holy Light' to purify all the people in the city, and then completely burn them down." Although it is cruel to forcibly destroy the homes of the residents in this city, the kingdom will make up for their losses!"

The suggestion made by Alsace is the simplest and most brutal method, but there is no way, after all, there is still no specific medicine to completely solve the plague.

"Not enough time, let's not talk about the fact that there is not much holy light left on your body after the previous battle. Now the tens of thousands of people in the whole city are definitely not the number that the paladins present can solve. You must know that completely purifying the plague on a person is comparable to killing It is infinitely more difficult to die alone."

Lancer's merciless refusal made Alsace stunned, but then he made a supplement.

"Then let's treat the more important people first, just like treating children before. In any case, we must save the vast majority of people!"

This is indeed an impossible solution, but...

"Alsace, you are still too young, this matter is not as simple as you think."

After hearing Alsace's words, Uther sighed helplessly. Although his disciples have grown a lot, they are still lacking in some aspects, and he is no longer the same as before. Instead, he began to actively intervene.

"I believe in the shining point of human beings more than anyone else. Those residents sent their children and descendants here to us regardless of their own lives, in order to preserve the last fire for them, but this is only so. The cruelty of the plague made us They have no time for distractions, but when the plague passes, the survivors may hate you and us."

"This...how is it possible?! We..."

"We have tried our best, they know, but human beings are such complex creatures, they don't show it, but they will inevitably think in their hearts, 'If we can save us, why can't I bring my family/lover/friends together Saved?' This may not be a problem in normal times, because their rationality tells them that it is wrong to think so, but once sparks are thrown into it, then... the consequences will be disastrous."

Alsace's original intention was to make the rescue more efficient, but he is still too young, because such an approach gives the impression that the rescue targets are divided into grades, so who would be willing to be the second grade and be abandoned What about people?

This is where the contradiction lies.

Seeing Alsace's silent expression after listening to his explanation, Uther patted him on the shoulder.

"If it really comes to that time, then I will give the order."

"teacher?!"
