The brave man opened the coffin and rose

How does trust in a person begin?

Kronos recognized the other party's identity as a brave warrior after he could see the long red strip in front of his eyes.

After all, according to the knowledge she inherited, the strength of the hero himself can be replaced, but the various powers of protection watched by the gods cannot be faked.

In other words, if the person who appeared before her was the real hero Abes, but he did not show the possibility of regaining the Divine Protection... then the little girl from the Mers family would not trust him so much.

After all, a brave man who has lost his power can do nothing in such a ridiculous northern territory.

And it was after being given this surname that Jiaweiling recognized the other party's identity as a hero.

For him, there are many dignitaries, but the only ones who can sympathize with common people and little people like him are the heroes he has heard of in legends and fairy tales.

He didn't know what the Dragon Sundering Disaster was, nor did he know how the pioneering team of heroes saved the world.

He only knew that now, someone recognized him and gave him a surname.

For many others, trust comes from the accumulation of small miracles.

From leading them to defeat the wargs and satisfying their most basic appetite, to later providing them with a steady supply of weapons to equip them;

Later, he led them to actively attack the Lizardmen, distribute healing potions, and fight against the fleeing soldiers.

The man took care of their life and death wholeheartedly without any hesitation.

The cumulative result of these small miracles is a great determination that no one can match.

Feeling the seemingly endless strength in their bodies and their movement speed increased several times out of thin air, everyone began to trust Abes.

No matter how the other party did it, releasing such a large-scale buff spell to all members is an incredible miracle.

Kronos pulled out the long sword that was inserted into the enemy's body, and Gavilin also nailed the enemy holding the bow and arrow to the ground with one move.

Apart from them, almost everyone else also made a big step forward in the stalemate of the war within a short period of time.

Soon, the battle was over.

The mountain roads were rugged, and neither Abes nor the defeated soldiers had vehicles or mounts, so naturally there wouldn't be much of a difference in speed.

Therefore, with the [Sprint] buff granted by [Protection of the Order], a strange situation appeared on the entire battlefield - even if they wanted to escape, they could not outrun the people with speed bonus.

As a result, the choice between death or capture soon fell upon this group of defeated soldiers.

The only regrettable thing about the whole battle was that casualties occurred for the first time.

When we fought with the lizardmen before, it was Abes who took the initiative to plan and then attack.

Because of Abes's powerful combat capability and his arrangement of acting alone, the entire team was actually arranged in a relatively safe environment from beginning to end.

It's either a reconnaissance mission or using the majority to defeat the minority.

It was just that the captain of the Lizardman division had set up a temporary ambush and used powder to prevent them from retreating, causing Kronos to almost cripple his left hand.

It can be said that this was the first time that I was truly unprepared.

And because of this, the troops led by Abes came into contact with death for the first time.

The casualties cast a shadow over the hearts of the people who were originally full of fighting spirit.

They are the defective products that were picked up and discarded by the Lizardmen, and the starving people whose families were broken up and who were left homeless.

In terms of physical age, many people are not young and have experienced many life and death separations.

But now, for the path of warriors, they are real "young people".

And they, who had just raised their morale, now had to bear the heavy responsibility of burying their own companions with their own hands.

Therefore, at the beginning, Abes still had some thoughts of recapturing these defeated soldiers.

But after seeing the performance of those scouts with red eyes, Abes had other plans in mind.

Abesi knew very well that this battle was both a test and a tempering for them.

And for me as a leader, it is also an opportunity.

I must make them understand the cruelty of war and the heavy price of life.

At the same time, we must also let them realize the current state of the country and let them completely turn away from the small kingdom of Wommza and side with us!

As usual, Abes collected the enemy's weapons and equipment, and then put them all into the player's backpack granted by [Protection of Long Journey].

But unlike before, Abes also buried the bodies of the victims in a very formal manner.

Everyone also silently dug a burial hole for them.

Afterwards, they had a not-so-lively lunch in the mountains.

Abes did not eat, but interrogated a few defeated soldiers who looked like junior officers before returning.

As Abes slowly climbed up the temporary platform built for the victims, everyone thought that he would say some beautiful and godly words like a priest to pray for their souls.

But unexpectedly, the ancient hero in front of him just stood there silently.

One minute...two minutes...

Everyone was shouting and asking him, the person in charge, what he was going to do next?

Three minutes... five minutes...

There was still some commotion in the crowd, and those defeated soldiers who had been captured but had not yet surrendered were still cursing and swearing.

By the eighth minute, the crowd had completely quieted down.

Everyone seemed to realize that silence is also a form of expression.

A moment of silence is also a form of extremely pious prayer.

Then, at the tenth minute, when everyone had been quiet for almost a minute, Abes slowly turned around and began to speak.

“Casualties were inevitable, but you were good and did not back down in fear.”

"Some people would think that I am being rude by just collecting them and then standing there for a long time without doing anything."

"But if you ask me, there is no need for us to cry out loud, because the opportunity for revenge will come immediately."

Abes dragged a captive soldier with his hands and feet tied to the front of the stage, and then threw a knife on the stage. After looking around, he asked, "Who wants to take action?"

After Abes explained this, everyone began to vaguely realize what the other party meant by revenge.

Some old-fashioned people hesitated, having a lot to say but not knowing how to start.

However, those who had just experienced the pain of losing their loved ones or friends raised their heads, still shedding tears.

The silver-haired girl trembled, and a myriad of emotions filled her blue eyes.

Thousands of years ago, the ancient heroes who experienced the Dragon Smashing Disaster faced many sacrifices.

And at that time, this brave man did just that.

When faced with sacrifice or unjust death, they will immediately bring the evil to justice.

Immoral? Cruel?

When it comes to orthodox values, can you understand them as well as the ancestor in front of you?

"If we use noble morality to deal with suffering and pain, then what should we use to deal with noble character?"

After seeing one of the middle-aged women tremblingly pick up a knife and stab it into the chest of the prisoner on the stage, Abes nodded silently.

The talk of revenge was naturally for the next action - Abes waved his hand and took out the rag stuffed in the mouth of another prisoner.

"But if you ask me, we want to take revenge on more than just these specific enemies."

"Specific enemies can be easily killed, but the fundamental enemy is at large in the distance."

"Why don't you let us hear the ugliness of the kingdom?"
