Forced To Be A General, I Just Wanted To Retire - Chapter 1012
Chapter 1012 – Knight’S Shame
On the island, after Herbert sneered at David, he suddenly rushed down from the hillside. The rotary blade in his hand spun like the wind, and he was so fast that he left an afterimage. Like a tiger in a flock of sheep, he rushed into the remaining pirates. The rotary blade was like a scythe of harvest, quickly cutting down the pirates he passed, splashing blood all over the sky and quickly rushing to David.
David swung his sword down.
The huge impact and force brought by the big sword made the afterimage-like body stop.
Whoosh!
The sword swung again, and the blade swept toward Herbert. Herbert stepped back, spun around, turned in the air, and fell to the ground.
“As expected of the Conquest King, his strength is really powerful. He can make people retreat with a casual swing of his sword…”
Herbert licked his lips and lowered his voice. “It really makes me want to kill you!”
“Tri-petal Spiral Blade, high-speed movement, flexible killing…”
David looked Herbert up and down, and finally his eyes fell on his chest, where the sign of the kite flower was.
“The ‘Blade Knights’ of Corpori?” David asked.
These words stunned Herbert and he immediately laughed. “It’s really surprising that you, a new king without the slightest bloodline, still know about our Knight Legion…”
David said, “I’ve heard about it. The beautiful and romantic Corporate Kingdom is guarded by the cruel and bloodthirsty Knights. However, it should have been destroyed with the country 20 years ago. Are there any survivors?”
“He actually knows. Yes, it was destroyed. That country and the Knights were destroyed together!” Herbert grinned.
“You clearly lost your country and the master you served, and you still look very proud?” David shook his head. “Pathetic.”
“What can a new king like you know?”
Herbert said proudly: “This is freedom! I got a freedom I never had before. By the way, let me tell you an inside story. At that time, I served the princess of the kingdom and the next heir of the kingdom, but I killed her with my own hands… At the moment the country was destroyed, I killed her with my own hands! Of course, this is not a betrayal. As a knight, I abided by the knight code for the people I served. The glory of a knight is given by the master. I saw the master’s mind and thought that she was too tired to live, so I killed her with my own hands. This is also a righteous cause! Helping the master out of the sea of suffering and blaming myself for the crime. What a great loyalty!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a muffled sound in front of him, and a heavy momentum appeared in front of Herbert. David pounced in front of him like a cheetah, raised his sword high and smashed it down.
Boom!!
The ground that was smashed down became a huge pit at this moment, stirring up gravel and dust.
“Why are you so angry?”
A light voice sounded from behind the smoke and dust. As the smoke and dust dissipated, Herbert stood at the back and teased, “Are you angry because you were killed by your subordinate as a master?
“No…”
David’s voice came from the helmet. “As a knight, I can’t forgive you. You didn’t complete the oath you made to the master you served. No matter what order of knights it is, the oath is the same. You just said that you saw through the master’s mind? But I remember that Her Highness, the princess of the kingdom of Corporia, once made a wish to make herself happy forever. I have heard about the princess who was famous at that time. As a knight, not only did you not do your best to complete the oath to make your master happy, but you also said something about guessing the master’s mind… Did your master say that she was tired of living? Even if there was a similar sentence?”
Herbert froze and his face suddenly darkened.
The woman he once swore to protect did not say anything about how tired she was.
“What’s the use of saying it? The kingdom is already in ruins. The king is sick and can no longer take care of the overall situation. The nobles are no longer listening to orders. The country is gradually weakening and is no longer the country of romance and love. Otherwise, the title would not have been snatched away by Dressrosa at that time and become a country of ‘love and passion and toys’. The princess has never been happy. She is too tired to live. On the eve of the destruction of the kingdom, I can’t bear for her to continue and killed her with my own hands. What’s wrong with that!”
“Big mistake!”
David shouted, “You are breaking the promise of the knight! When you became a knight, didn’t anyone tell you that the master’s wish is the knight’s mission! No matter how absurd the wish is, as a knight, after you serve the master, your mission is to fulfill the master’s wish! Your master wants to be happy forever, then the knight’s mission is to make her happy forever!”
“The country is weak? What does that have to do with you? You are not a knight of the country, you are a knight of the princess! If your master is unhappy because the country is weak, then your mission is to make the country strong. If your master is unhappy because the king is seriously ill, then find a way to treat this king. If your master is unhappy because the nobles do not listen to orders, then replace those nobles with those who listen to orders! What have you done?! You have not done your mission at all. You are just sad. You are just complaining. You have done nothing. You have not even asked. You are just trying to guess the psychology of your master. You are not worthy of being a knight!”
The violent words made Herbert take a few steps back subconsciously and his face turned pale.
“You don’t deserve to be a knight! A real knight is the sword in the master’s hand, the shield of the master’s defense, the person that the master wants to do what he wants to do. It’s right to speculate his thoughts, but you didn’t even ask, what right do you have to make subjective assumptions! As a knight, I am ashamed of you!!”
David would never speculate inexplicably about what Lord Kuro meant. Everything about him was based on the original sentence.
He asked his master what his wish was.
His Lordship says his wish is world peace.
This is enough. With this benchmark, I can guess and walk on the road to Master’s wish.
But Herbert, a member of the once-famous Knights of the Blade, did not do such a thing at all.
He is a disgrace, a knight’s disgrace!
David gripped his sword tightly and said in a deep voice, “I will kill you with my own hands and then you will go to the underworld to apologize to your master!”
… .
At this moment, on the sea, an ice sculpture of a ship was frozen there, and even the sea under the ship was frozen, forming an ice island. Near the island, a useless uncle wearing small sunglasses and carrying a backpack with penguins behind him was riding a bicycle and stopping there.
“Ah la la, I met a pirate… The pirates of New World have been quite violent recently. That guy Kuro has also done a lot of things. Is Marine going to take action?”
He glanced at the ice sculpture and sighed. He stepped on the pedal and continued to drive forward.
