You and me under the world tree

But that's clearly missing the point...

It doesn't matter if it was before, but now, a large-scale abandoned Rhine city has been built beside the former Rhine Ferry.

If they go all the way up, they are destined to meet those people.

"To be honest, I only hope that His Majesty can get through this difficult time. He shouldn't fall under the so-called poison..."

Just when Bodwall was subconsciously thinking about various possibilities, he heard Half's heartfelt words.

"However, pure 'hope' is useless. If something really happens to His Majesty, maybe we really have to find a way out for ourselves."

After hearing Bodwall's words, Half hesitated to speak.

At this moment, he just watched his friend.

But before he could say anything, Bodwall smiled lightly.

"Aren't you worried about these?"

"After all... we are no longer a small team."

After hesitating for a moment, Half spoke.

"I used to be able to lead my brothers to the Netherlands with high spirits, but it was just a small team of dozens to nearly 100 people. We could go wherever we wanted, but it's different now."

Then, Half could not help covering his face.

"Honestly, Bodwall, I never thought I was a good leader. After all, I have failed many times."

Chapter 76: Tiredness

Half, the illegitimate son of King Elf of Denmark, had no expectations from the moment he was born.

Not because of anything else, because he was not born to the real queen of Denmark.

Although Elf, who was the king at the time, was still single, but his mother's status itself was not high, so his status was the same.

Moreover, as a matter of fact, it is normal not to have high expectations, because from the very beginning, Half has not shown any outstanding advantages.

As an illegitimate child, his status was already embarrassing, and Elf soon abducted his favorite woman back from the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

In the end, Losger, the real prince of Denmark and the heir appointed by his father Elf, was born in this way, and Half, who was the eldest son and illegitimate son, was even more unpopular.

So here comes the question, at that time, did Halfe really have no opinions or thoughts on this in his heart?

It is of course impossible to say that there is no idea at all.

Everyone has had the age of 'I can't help myself', and Halph is no exception.

Although he wouldn't tell all the thoughts in his heart to his father who had long been separated from him and the people around him, he was still dissatisfied after all.

The old king Elf doted on his new wife Theotis, so he even doted on his child Losgo in every possible way, and even wished to bring him by his side to raise him.

This is a fatherly love that Halph has never felt.

It is precisely because of this reason that Harff feels dissatisfied in his heart.

But he was unwilling to tell others about the resentment in his heart, so the final result was that he left the Danish royal court.

"Thinking about it, almost ten years have passed since then."

In the flickering candlelight, Halfu sighed.

"Well, if you think about it carefully..."

At the beginning, Harf was just a pure boy, because he couldn't bear the comparison in the court, couldn't bear the partiality of his father, and couldn't bear the "family happiness" of witnessing others, so he left Denmark court.

And at that time, he certainly had his own ambition in his heart.

But this so-called ambition is actually quite naive.

He wanted to break away from the Danish court, do a big business with his own identity, and even establish his own power.

As for this so-called power, it is not that he has no idea.

Not to mention becoming the king of the ruling party, but no matter what, you can be a lord, right?

But ideals are just ideals after all.

"Nearly ten years have passed, and in the first few years I was really nothing."

"Don't say that, Half..."

"Don't comfort me, Bodwall."

Knowing what the good brother in front of him wanted to say, Half shook his head quickly.

"No one understands my previous thoughts better than me. I once wanted to become a lord...with my own ability, but it turns out that my thinking was too simple. During those few years, I wanted to maintain a lord of a hundred people. The team makes me feel a little bit difficult, and these guys can't even make a splash in a big battle."

There is no way to participate in any large-scale war, and there is no way to make a positive name.

The name 'Raven' seems to be full of deterrence now, but at the beginning, to a certain extent, it was ridiculed by visitors.

"You should understand, Bodwall, if we stay in Denmark and wander around the border, we will achieve nothing after all, so I will bring you to seek refuge with Siegfried."

Hearing this, Bodwall fell silent.

He can no longer say anything, because this is the truth.

Siegfried Zigmundsen Volsung.

Maybe that man himself didn't notice how important the treasure hunting order and talent recruitment order he issued back then were to those young people who thought they had strength and talent but had no way out.

Because he is equivalent to giving a road, a road that can directly lead to the 'hero'.

Through that war, although the names of the little war bear Bodwall and Raven Half did not become well known like their Majesty Siegfried, they were not limited to Danish borders as before. wandering around.

"So, you want to..."

"I thought about staying here in the Netherlands. I can see that His Majesty has great ambitions, and I am willing to fight with him."

But who would have thought?

Looking at the eyes of his friend, Bodwall couldn't say anything at all.

He suddenly felt some irony.

The young, ambitious king just fell to the court.

"Don't say it's us, I'm afraid other people are the same about this."

The same loss, the same loss.

I don't know what to do, so I can only order the army to stay where they are.

As for Half, maybe he has more things to consider.

He wants to keep the legion under his command.

Not because of anything else, because this is the legion named after him, and he treats these people under him the same as those brothers in the past.

If the Netherlands collapsed, the entire kingdom must be thrown into chaos.

At that time, where should these thousands of soldiers and his family members go?

However, as a matter of fact, Harff actually considered more.

"If I didn't have this legion under me, I would even want to go to Burgundy."

"Burgundy..."

"Those people will always have to pay for their actions."

Bodwall also agrees with this.

But there is a problem here.

"As for revenge, it's not up to us at all, Half."

He patted Half on the shoulder.

"Don't forget, in the Kingdom of the Netherlands, there is a person who values ​​His Majesty more than us."

"Yeah, so we can't even avenge His Majesty."

Speaking of this, Half's mood couldn't help but turn bad.

Siegfried gave him a chance to rise and make him famous, and even let illegitimate children like Hagen and him experience the feeling of being 'valued'.

However, he had no way to repay His Majesty the king, there was nothing he could do.

What if the king dies?

What can he do?

These things, combined with the mess from Denmark, made him miserable.

"Thinking about it carefully, I still feel tired recently."

He rubbed his head.

"So how about leaving the Legion?"

"Ok?"

"Whether it is the sage or Hagen, they are not stupid. With them, at least His Majesty's kingdom will not fall into any chaos, but at least there will be a big war in the future..."

"Revenge battle?"

"Well, if you feel tired, then leave for a while, don't you see that Princess Gothic did the same?"

Regardless of whether His Majesty will die because of this, after the war, perhaps it would be a good choice to temporarily stay away from the power in his hands.

"And before that, it's better to wait here for instructions." Half said in a low voice.

"Yes, it is like that."

Bodwall laughed.

"You don't need to be troubled by these things. You must know that you are the lord now. Even if you step down from the duties of the legion commander, you are still the lord of one side."

The lord of the Netherlands, this duty is for life, but compared to other kingdoms, this has no real power.

"Also, I think you're actually thinking too much."

"Ok?"

"Think about it carefully, whether it is Hagen or His Excellency the Sage, they are all powerful wizards, and with them, is it really so easy for His Majesty to be poisoned?"

At this moment, the adjutant known as the Little Zhan Xiong stretched his waist.

"Anyway, just don't scare yourself, the sky will fall and there will be tall people holding it up."

…………

A week later, news came from Wangcheng that although Siegfried hadn't regained consciousness, his life had been ensured.

Chapter 77: Same thing, different people

Time passed slowly, and nearly half a month had passed since the day the king was poisoned.

During this time, the hearts of the residents of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are as exciting as riding a roller coaster.

In the first week, the news that the king was dead or alive made them fearful for the future.

Because their great king has no heirs at all, and the Netherlands will even be dragged into the battle for the throne initiated by various forces after this.

They have just experienced a great war, and they have just lived the comfortable and prosperous life that Siegfried once promised.

Under such circumstances, how could they be willing to be dragged into another war?

Not long after this panic had passed, official news came from the palace.

And it was completely different from the previous scattered rumors, this was news that came from the palace and spread from official channels.

The safety of His Majesty the King has been guaranteed, and he will wake up in the near future, and all this is due to the Minister of the Palace Hagen.

It is said that under the instruction of the sage, he prepared the potion to detoxify His Majesty the King.

However, because of the toxins that damaged the body, His Majesty the King is still unable to meet guests or govern.

Until his physical recovery, the kingdom's power will be temporarily handed over to Hagen.

This news may seem nothing to ordinary people, because Siegfried's trust in Hagen is on the table, and Hagen has never been ashamed of this trust.
