Alien Knights - Chapter 754

Riding on a horse, watching the devastation in Muxi City, Queen Mary asked Alfonso beside her: “How many days can we hold on?”

Alfonso opened his mouth, thinking about how to say a suitable number, but he soon discovered that he had no answer at all.

Mary did not continue to ask questions, looked back at the sad-faced citizens, and said softly: “They said, this is the end of the world.”

Alfonso said softly: “No matter how long the night is, there will always be dawn.”

Mary lowered her head and couldn’t see her expression: “If the stars fall and the sky collapses, what does dawn mean to us old swearers?”

Alfonso was silent for a long time, and finally said: “Your Majesty… won’t abandon us.”

Mary raised her head, with unspeakable sadness hidden in her delicate face: “You and I are familiar with him, and Todd will never ignore us. I can be sure that he must be somewhere in this world, using his life. Fight against destiny…”

Looking at the **** sky above her head, Mary’s eyes were faintly dripping with tears. She whispered: “The end is approaching. Todd has not heard from him for a long time. What I fear most is that there is another possibility.”

Alfonso looked at Mary in confusion, thinking about the other possibility the other party had said.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and raised the volume: “Impossible!”

Mary looked at Alfonso with unstoppable sadness and despair in her eyes: “I hope I am wrong.”

Alfonso looked at Mary, and his hand holding the reins of the war horse trembled slightly.

The group came to Muxi Square in this way.

Mary looked at the familiar royal city in the distance, suddenly turned over and dismounted, and walked slowly in the other direction.

Alfonso turned his horse’s head, followed Mary’s footsteps, and said, “That’s not the direction to the King City.”

Mary said softly: “I know…I’m going back, there are some things I have to bring.”

Alfonso rode a horse, blocking Mary’s path, bowed his head and said: “The dead will soon enter the city. The King City will be the last line of defense. The most important thing is to get there first!”

Mary slowly raised her head, and Alfonso’s unexpected firmness was on her beautiful and delicate face.

“Master Knight, some things are far more important than life, aren’t they?”

Hearing Mary’s answer, Alfonso stiffened and didn’t know how to answer for a while.

Mary leaned slightly towards Alfonso on the horse, and then walked towards the end of the street without looking back.

Seeing the woman’s disappearing back, Alfonso clenched the reins and stayed on the horse’s back without moving for a long time.

Suddenly, he made up his mind, turned his horse’s head, and galloped towards the city.

Through the sunken and collapsed streets, through the ruined garden, Alfonso ran all the way, and finally reached a low hill in Muxi City.

This hill is located in the center of Twilight City. Compared with the surrounding cities, it looks so out of place, like an isolated island.

Alfonso got off his horse and walked slowly towards the top of the hill.

On the hills, there are luxuriant trees in the sky, green grass and wildflowers beyond sight, and…hundreds of quietly erected tombstones.

Alfonso knew most of the names on these tombstones. Most of them were members of the Knights and were buried here after they died in battle.

There is only one exception.

Alfonso walked up to the top of the hill and followed the mossy stone path to the two tombstones in the garden on the top of the hill.

A tombstone reads “Adelina Surrey Wilmot, an upright, modest, and courageous lady. She faced all the injustices of fate and never flinched. She took a knight at the cost of her life. Wake up from hatred and prejudice.”

The other one reads “Lesley Monoz, my best friend, may his soul be forgiven.”

Alfonso looked at the two tombstones in amazement, and found that the bouquets in front of the tombstones had just been picked.

A short fat man with a water bottle and a shovel suddenly walked out from behind the tombstone.

The chunky man smiled and looked at Alfonso, seeming to have been waiting for him to appear.

Alfonso stared at the pudgy man with a stubble face, and asked uncertainly: “Walton?”

The man whose name was called, put down the guy in his hand, opened his arms with a laugh, and hugged Alfonso tightly.

Alfonso looked down at this former partner, mixed feelings for an instant, and asked, “Why are you here?”

Walton let go and pointed to the tombstone: “Here, it needs to be taken care of. They need company.”

Alfonso asked, “Do you know anything outside the city?”

Walton nodded.

Alfonso asked again: “You know it’s not safe here, right?”

Walton nodded again.

Alfonso pointed to the direction of the royal city: “There is a shelter in the kingdom, which is used to shelter citizens and resist the attacks of the undead. You can set out now, immediately…”

Walton grinned and said with a smile: “I won’t go.”

Alfonso was stunned for a moment, and then said in a more accented tone: “The undead will soon…”

Walton pulled Alfonso towards the big tree not far away, where the ground was neatly lined with crossbow machines, ammunition, and swords and shields.

Walton looked at Alfonso and repeated: “I won’t go.”

Alfonso looked at the short chubby man in front of him, and the fear of death had disappeared from his smile, only the calmness of life was left.

Walton took Alfonso again to the back of the two tombstones, where there were two tombs that had just been dug.

Walton pointed to the larger tomb and said, “Yours.”

Then he pointed to the smaller one and said, “Mine.”

Walton patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile: “We agreed, you, me, Adelina, Leslie, four people, together.”

Hearing these words, Alfonso stood there, suddenly remembering a memory of the past.

Four people were sitting together by the fire.

As Walton counted the coins offered for the reward, he complained loudly about the church’s stinginess.

Leslie was sitting by the fire, cooking the grilled fish carefully, jokingly with Walton from time to time. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Adelina took out her sewing kit and mended other people’s broken clothes.

Walton sealed the wallet, and while calculating something on the ledger, he said loudly: “When we have money in the future, we will buy a large manor with a wine cellar!”

Leslie glanced at him: “Yes, you live under the wine cellar. I will prepare an empty wine barrel for you, so you can save money for a bed.”

Walton said irritably, “Then you can live in the back kitchen. We can make a fire and cook and even save money for firewood!”

Adelina put down the needle and thread, smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter where you live, the key is to be together.”

Leslie nodded and said, “That’s right, it doesn’t matter where you live, it depends on who you are with.”

Walton collected the purse and said to Alfonso, “Boss, then it’s settled. In the future, no matter whether we buy a large manor or not, the four of us will live together.”

Thinking of this, Alfonso’s nose was sour, something stuck in his throat, and his eyes gradually blurred.

He hugged Walton and whispered: “Yes, four people are together…”

Letting go of Walton, Alfonso took out a copper pendant from his chest and gently pressed the button next to the card slot.

The pendant shell bounced open, and three strands of hair lay quietly in the copper shell.

Picking up the sharp sword on the ground, Alfonso slowly cut off a strand of his hair, tied it and gently put it in the pendant.

Then, he took out the emblem of the large leader that Cumberland had handed him, and put it in his own grave together with his own copper pendant.

After doing all this, Alfonso walked slowly to Adelina’s grave, knelt on one knee, put his forehead on the tombstone, and whispered, “Wait for me.”
