You and me under the world tree

When the incident started, Legney was in charge of diplomacy and strategy, but it was Radgul who commanded the army.

At this moment, Legney probably wanted to say something more, so he opened his mouth involuntarily.

But at this moment, Siegfried didn't seem to have the leisure to listen to him continue talking.

At this moment, the young dragon slaying hero just raised the Thunder Sword high.

"The evil false king, Ragni of the Hengding clan, this is the trial of the God of Thunder!"

'zila'

In the flashing thunder, Legney always felt that he saw many things.

In the end, amidst the public's condemnation, he gradually turned his attention to one side.

His gaze crossed the shining thunder, and finally focused on the soldier who still couldn't see his face clearly.

The sages of Volsung...

At this moment, he seemed to have noticed the sight of the false king, so he couldn't help turning his head.

Under the helmet, there was no particular meaning to his gaze, and even Legney wasn't sure if he was looking at him.

But even so...

"I hope you can keep your promise..."

'zila'

'pooh'

Chapter 75: There is still a long way to go

When the thunder stone's sword of judgment fell, Legney felt as if time had frozen.

At this moment, his memory kept skipping before his eyes.

Among them are his ordinary childhood and his youthful life that can be regarded as pleasant.

Then, at the instigation of the Valkyries, he decided to rise against his friends.

Formed his own forces, then backstabbed his best friend Radgul, and finally took control of several legions under him.

Then came the brutal and bloody road to unification.

It took him quite a while to integrate the Hengding clan, which was said to be a mess at the time. In the end, in order to divert internal conflicts and satisfy the wishes of the gods, he launched an aggressive war against the Volsung clan together with Denmark.

Ruled the Netherlands, his wife died, war broke out with the Goths, and the descendants of Volsunger returned, and the Valkyries gave him the last means of counterattack.

In the end, the scenes in front of him flashed faster and faster, and finally, Legney's memory was finally frozen on the last scene.

A dark room with only one candle for lighting.

Here is the palace he designed, and it is also his room.

Of course, his wife also died here.

Although he was indeed detained here, his activities were not restricted.

Apart from absolutely not being able to go out, he can still move about in this room.

However, in this life of house arrest, he certainly couldn't live a good life.

I am sure that I cannot escape death, but it is nothing more than a way of death.

No matter how you say it, Legney is a king, so he can naturally guess the most suitable way of death for him—Siegfried will always take over the kingdom with a clean identity.

So day by day, he was living his life in a daze.

Until the night when he was notified that the trial was about to start, the sage of Volsung suddenly appeared in front of him.

He bypassed the warrior guarding him, and appeared directly in the room in the form of magic.

Until now, Legney still remembers it clearly.

In the flickering candlelight, the man who seemed to have his own shadow walked out slowly.

Even, I don't know if I have witnessed something strange. Although the man - the sage Hod of Volsung, still looks ordinary, Legney can always think of what happened more than a month ago.

Although at that time, he himself did not have any reason at all.

But for some reason, his memory is quite clear.

Looking back now, he heard the dragon chant when he attacked the sage.

It was a sound that seemed to awaken others... no, it should be a sound that could awaken the instinctive fear in the hearts of creatures.

But now, as long as Legney recalls the events of that time for a while, he feels that the voice of that time is still lingering in his mind.

Even at this moment, he felt that the warrior was completely abnormal.

Although he still looked ordinary, there was no special change in his clothes—it was still the same armor and the same cloak.

However, because the candles in the room are too weak, and the shadows are regardless of distance.

When Legney cast his eyes on the wall subconsciously, what he saw was the shadow of the evil dragon.

Just like the half-dragon people he had witnessed...

However, at that time, before Legney could adjust his mood, the man spoke:

"I need you to do something."

Maybe it was because facing the captive, the man didn't use any discussing tone, but spoke as a matter of course.

At that time, what he was talking about was the present.

To put it simply, no matter what he does, he will try his best to drag those superior beings down.

Speaking of which, Legney can hardly remember what they talked about at the beginning.

He only remembered that the man's tone was not weak, and he showed an indifferent attitude from the beginning to the end.

It felt like negotiating what to have for dinner, as if it didn't matter if he vetoed it.

Horde the sage of the Volsung clan...

This man shattered everything he had built step by step, and perfectly executed his revenge.

But even in the face of the request made by the man he should hate, he finally agreed.

Of course, this is of course not contrition, repentance for one's own actions and thus paving the way for Siegfried.

To that young hero, Legney has so far been unable to think of him well.

Of course, the same is true for the man named Huo De in front of him.

Even, his children died at their hands, how could he not hate it?

However, he has no retreat.

Because there was no room for negotiation on this matter from the very beginning.

Compared with the so-called consultation and cooperation, this is more like an opportunity given by the sage Hodder.

Not atonement, but revenge.

At this point, Legney itself has no value.

For Hodder, it doesn't matter even if he disagrees, even if he threatens, he can die quietly without waiting for a trial.

And for those friends and subordinates who were once framed and backstabbed by him, his repentance now is of no use.

For can those who have died know?

Of course they wouldn't know it, and even their family members who might still be alive wouldn't understand it.

In the final analysis, although the things he is doing now can indeed provide a little comfort, but this comfort can only be given to himself.

And, it's not redemption.

Instead, he released all the resentment and anger in his heart.

Even though he didn't know the final result, even though he knew that mortals were so insignificant to the gods, Legni had to vent his grievances.

And the result is this...

'poof'

Accompanied by the almost tearing sound, Legney felt that he suddenly flew up.

His sight was constantly rotating, and he even saw his own body.

At the same time, the sound of thunder and lightning resounded in his ears.

Ah, it's over...

Maybe it's because the stone sword itself is extremely sharp, maybe it's because Siegfried strikes quickly.

At this time, he didn't feel any pain.

The only regrettable thing is the reaction of the surrounding people.

Even though he has been mocking them verbally, why doesn't he want to see their angry expressions?

Even with such a group of people, do you want to raise the banner of rebellion against the gods?

'boom'

Finally, the false king's head fell to the ground, and blood gushed out from the corpse.

However, because of the radiated thunder, there was no blood on the Thunderstone sword, but Siegfried himself was sprayed all over.

Blood stained his armor and even sprayed his face.

The blond hair was also stained, but he didn't care about it.

Even if the cheers in his ears came like a tide, he didn't feel any empathy.

"It's over, Siegfried."

"Yes, it's over for now."

Facing the cheering soldiers and people, Siegfried suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness in his heart.

Here, almost no one can understand him.

The people were immersed in joy, and seemed to be completely unaware of the helplessness that was almost sad on the face of their lord.

"There is still a long way to go..."

Chapter 76: Unreconciled...

The moment Siegfried cut off Lagney's head with the thunderstone long sword symbolizing the god of thunder, it meant that the grievances between the Volsung family and the Hengding family were completely settled.

If you calculate carefully, this grievance actually spanned two whole generations, because it originally originated from Siegmund's era.

The Hendin family originated from King Hendin, who himself was appointed by the leader of the Amerungen family of the Gothic Kingdom: King Sigil.

Through intrigue he deceived the descendants of the tribe of Ilfin who trusted him: King Volsong and his family.

He invited them to come to his kingdom as guests, and then besieged them with a large army through conspiracy.

Sigil first captured the other princes and the old king Volsunger alive, and forced Siegmund, who was still a teenager at the time, to hand over the Holy Sword of God's Wrath.

However, his brothers and his elderly father and king tried their best to prevent him from doing so, wanting him to return directly to the country with the holy sword.

Even if he inherited the throne, it would be no problem. After all, although Siegmund, who held the holy sword in his hand, was young, he had long been appointed by his brothers and old father as the next king.

There has never been such a self-interested person in the Irfin tribe.

So at that time, Siegmund handed over the holy sword without even thinking about it, and wanted to use the hero's sword in exchange for the lives of his family members.

At least, they should be able to return to their homeland without incident.

At the time, still a teenager, Siegmund really thought so.

However, he was still too naive after all.

Not all of them are as sincere as the Ilfen Clan--or even brainless in a way.

Therefore, after obtaining the holy sword of wrath, Sigil quickly bound Siegmund, and then directly killed the old king Volsong.

Imprisoned several princes, threw them into the forest to feed the wolves, then directly annexed the leaderless Netherlands, and supported King Hengding who was close to the Gothic Kingdom.
