Alien Knights

On the city wall, Randall and Carroll, who were fighting the undead back to back, did not notice that there were fewer and fewer Crusaders around them.

An ax split an undead spirit in half from top to bottom, and Carol suddenly laughed.

Randall, who was concentrating on killing the enemy, heard laughter behind him and asked in confusion: "What are you laughing at?"

Carroll knocked over an undead dog with one punch and said to Randall: "Do you feel that everything now seems familiar?"

Randall thought for a moment and then reacted.

In Tyro City, the capital of the Papal State, the two of them did the same thing, fighting to the last moment on the rooftop of the bell tower.

Randall knocked an undead off the city wall with a shield attack and said with a smile: "I don't know whether we are good luck or bad luck... It's like this every time."

Carroll swung his battle ax and cut an approaching undead into two pieces, saying, "I trust the weapon in my hand more than luck."

Spotting a bone-spurred undead climbing up the city wall, Randall picked up a spear with his toes, caught it and threw it at the bone-spurred undead, causing it to be pierced and fall off the city wall.

Just as the two were fighting, a figure suddenly approached them quickly.

Carroll subconsciously wanted to slash at the figure, but found that the person coming was actually Aldenan.

Ardenan's crossbow had long been abandoned, and he was holding a slender sword, which looked a bit nondescript.

Carroll looked at Aldenan and asked with some displeasure: "Where did you run just now?"

Ardenan looked at more and more undead on the city wall and shouted to the two of them: "It's time for us to go!"

Carol: "Let's go? Where?!"

Aldenan: "Don't you see that there are fewer and fewer people here? The remaining people are from the rear, and the Crusader army has retreated towards the royal city!"

Carroll continued to swing the tomahawk: "Let them go, I will fight until the end."

Alderan jumped anxiously and suddenly shouted: "Miss Barbara's baby has just been born!"

Hearing this, Carol turned around in shock.

Randall paused in disbelief and confirmed again to Aldenan: "What did you just say?!"

Aldenan said again: "The child is born, the child is born! A female doctor just came over and told me."

Carroll first looked at Aldenan, then at Randall, and finally at the city wall, and sighed: "Let's go."

The three of them fought and retreated, running towards the square behind the city wall.

Before they even reached Barbara's tent, a loud baby crying could be heard clearly.

Randall put down the sword and shield in his hand, carefully opened the tent, and saw Barbara lying on the bed looking sideways at her newborn child among the busy female elf doctors.

Putting on the sterilized gown and gloves, Randall walked to the bedside, looked at Barbara, who was sweating profusely and pale, and said softly: "Honey, I'm here."

Barbara didn't take her eyes off the baby and just said softly: "Look at him, how beautiful and precious he is."

A female elf doctor walked up to Randall and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Quinn, it's a boy... Are you sure about the name?"

Barbara and Randall looked at each other, and they both said in unison: "Mourning."

Randall looked at the baby and said with a smile: "We decided a long time ago that if it is a boy, his name will be Mourning, and it also has another meaning - morning light."

The female doctor gently repeated the name: "Mo Ning, Chen Xi, this is a good name."

Barbara turned her head, looked into Randall's eyes, and said softly: "The greatest meaning of my life is to have you and this child."

Randall held Barbara's hand and said: "We still have a long way to go in the future. We have to watch this child grow up, watch him learn to ride a horse, watch him get married and have children..."

Barbara smiled and whispered: "Yes, the future is still long..."

Her voice became lower and lower, and finally fell into complete silence.

There was still a smile on her face, but her eyes were closed forever.

Randall, who was originally holding Barbara's hand, suddenly found that the other person's hand was weak and slipped down.

Randall couldn't believe all this, and hugged Barbara tremblingly, calling her name softly over and over again.

no respond.

The female elf doctor walked behind Randall with a heavy face and said softly: "We have told Miss Barbara about the dangers of giving birth, but she insisted on giving birth to this child, and even threatened us at the cost of her life. "

Looking at the lifeless woman in Randall's arms, Carol, heartbroken, staggered and barely managed to grab a corner of the tent to keep himself from falling.

Aldenan listened to the movement in the direction of the city wall and said anxiously: "We should leave here! If we don't leave, it will be too late!"

Randall, with a stiff body and a pale face, held his wife's body and sat there blankly, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him anymore.

The baby in the female doctor's arms suddenly cried loudly, which finally made Randall react.

He looked at the baby and said in a hoarse voice: "Carol, I'm sorry, I want to ask you for something."

When Carroll's name was called, he stood up straight, his eyes were red, and he asked sadly: "What happened?"

Randall: "This child...I ask you to help me take care of him..."

Carol was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses: "You're not going to leave?"

Randall lowered his head and kissed his wife gently on her forehead: "I can't let Barbara stay alone. With me by her side, at least she won't be lonely."

Faced with the pleading in Randall's eyes, Carroll did not persuade or object, he just said a word.

"good."

Aldenan looked at Randall, who was holding Barbara, and then at Carol, who looked determined. At that moment, he suddenly understood the story between these three people.

Some of the ice buried deep in my heart has quietly broken.

The female elf doctors in the tent are busy packing equipment and supplies.

And Carol held the child helplessly, as if he was holding a fragile and valuable antique.

Everyone left the tent one after another, and Carol, who was holding the child, was the last one.

He turned around and took one last look at the happy man holding his wife in the tent, then carefully lowered the tent curtain and stopped disturbing them.

The bloody sky shines on the tent, casting a red color on it.

Barbara's originally bloodless body seemed to slowly gain a bright color because of this touch of red.

Outside the door, the shadow of the undead gradually approached, and the sound of the walls and towers collapsing became louder and louder.

Randall, holding his wife, slowly closed his eyes.

In his familiar dreamland, there was no fog or wailing, only the infinite beauty under the sun and the beautiful song from the woman's mouth.

"I went on a pilgrimage to Muxi"

"Bringing a bouquet of dianthus flowers to the people on the other side of the sea"

"The bright blue knight's sword, born in the flames of war"

"With lots of dianthus flowers, they decorate the front yard of my hometown"

"Regardless of life or death, please let me return to my homeland"

"Returning to my homeland..."
