Milo watched Barrack quietly. When favonovel.com hid the Eye of True Sight in his sleeve and secretly wished favonovel.com happiness, Milo was stunned!
To be honest, favonovel.com had thought the incantation might be something like Sudden Stalagmite or Flame Pillar. After all, Milo had only come across a few types of sorcery before, so his experience really limited his imagination.
He really did not expect the corresponding spell of his incantation to be so strange!
Why did Barrack suddenly cry?
What was the principle behind this spell?
Perhaps favonovel.com was overwhelmed by happiness.
Actually, Milo was not the only one who was dumbfounded. Barrack was also dumbfounded!
Barrack had joined the Knights of the Inferno at the age of 17 and had fought in more than a dozen battles. Even when favonovel.com was seriously injured, favonovel.com did not cry once.
Did someone cast a spell on him?
Barrack turned around with tears in his eyes and saw that Melgor, the only sorcerer in the caravan, was meditating.
Earlier, half of his attention was on Melgor, so favonovel.com was quite sure Melgor did not make any unusual movements. Besides, the problem was that favonovel.com had never heard of such sorcery before.
A paladin was considered a high-ranking member of the Knights of the Inferno, so it was not like they had no understanding of sorcery. When Barrack’s trusted aide saw his face covered in tears, favonovel.com felt a little touched. He had only asked his superior to get some rest, but favonovel.com reacted so emotionally?
Where else could favonovel.com find such a sincere leader?
He couldn’t even if guided by the light!
Barrack’s trusted aide said sincerely to him, “Sir, you don’t have to be so touched. It’s our duty to share your burdens and resolve your difficulties…”
Barrack was quite shameless. Although favonovel.com did not know why favonovel.com suddenly started crying, favonovel.com patted his trusted aide on the shoulder and said, “You have to understand that all of you have followed me for so many years. Seeing that the Knights of the Inferno’s name will soon be renowned, I know it wasn’t easy for us to support each other all this way. So when I thought about how tough it was for everyone, my heart ached a little.”
Barrack and his men were positioned right next to Milo’s group as they were keeping an eye on Melgor.
Milo was within earshot of Barrack, so when favonovel.com heard what favonovel.com said, favonovel.com felt a great sense of admiration.
Disregarding everything else, the Kingdom of Sorcerers’ citizens were all extremely conniving!
Barrack’s trusted aide said to him, “Mhm, sir, we know that you care about us. Please don’t cry…”
Barrack was speechless.
The spell was vicious. Even though Barrack had already been crying for five minutes, the tears still showed no signs of stopping!
His trusted aide lowered his voice and said, “Sir, stop crying! If you continue crying, I’m gonna cry too. All these years, you’ve been taking care of us like an older brother. When we got into a conflict with that guy from the Berkeley family, you were the one who helped us deal with it. We all know you were assigned on such a dangerous mission because you offended favonovel.com while helping us.”
Barrack said, “Uh-huh, I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. Let me cry a little while longer…”
Barrack’s trusted aide was speechless.
Gradually, all the guards around Barrack started crying. These people were all Barrack’s squires. No matter how Barrack tried to make use of Melgor, favonovel.com had always treated his subordinates very well. As such, everyone could not stop crying when they recalled the tough times they went through together over the years.
The other people at the camp started getting anxious. Their laughter gradually came to a stop as they silently watched Barrack while at a loss of what to do.
Some of those who were unaware of the situation wondered if something terrible had happened.
At this moment, several guards came over and asked Barrack’s trusted aide, “What happened to Commander?”
His trusted aide said in a low voice, “Do you still remember the time when we offended that kid from the Berkeley family? Actually, that was the reason why Commander was assigned this mission. He’s given his life to the Knights of the Inferno for over a decade, yet favonovel.com ended up becoming part of the suicide squad because of us. He must be really sad.”
When the guards heard this, they immediately felt sad. They quickly surrounded Barrack and begged, “Sir, please don’t cry anymore. We’ll definitely be fine this time.”
As these people spoke with their voices lowered, Milo could not hear what they were saying. However, their crying did not stop.
Honestly, these people were all very tough. Otherwise, they couldn’t have survived in the Knights of the Inferno. However, they had suffered a lot over the years. Although they suppressed it, it did not mean their suffering did not exist. Moreover, they all knew their plan to head north this time was no different from suicide. Now that their commander was leading the weeping, they could not hold it in any longer either.
Just as Milo had guessed, the oak barrels transported by the trade caravan were indeed not filled with red wine but were 60 full barrels of combustible fuel.
They needed to secretly transport these 60 barrels of fuel to Ghent City. There, they would light the barrels and set themselves ablaze together with everything else.
If they were lucky, some of them might be able to escape before that. But even if they could, they would still have to face the pursuit of the Houses of Tudor and Norman.
This mission would probably be their last one together as brothers-in-arms. So, they were essentially bidding each other farewell in advance. Everyone cried as they recalled their past, their brotherhood, and the camaraderie they had forged. Through their reminiscence, their sadness turned even more unbearable.
Gradually, Melgor ended his meditation. “What’s going on today? Why did I keep hearing people crying when I was in my inner world? Was there something wrong with how I meditated?”
“Relax, it’s not you,” Milo assured him.
Right afterwards, Melgor looked at Barrack, and his jaw dropped. A group of guards had gathered around their commander and were crying on each other’s shoulders. Meanwhile, Barrack was trying to persuade everyone to stop crying. However, the more favonovel.com tried to do that, the harder they cried.
To be honest, no one knew how or why a group of elite soldiers who had served in the military for so many years would suddenly start crying like this.
At some point, Milo even wondered whether the spell favonovel.com had cast might have had an Area of Effect.
About 20 minutes later, Barrack’s tears finally stopped flowing. He shouted to his guards, “Stop crying. Aren’t you all f*cking ashamed for crying so hard?”
When the guards saw that their commander was no longer crying, they gradually stopped as well. Other than two soldiers who could not stop crying, the situation slowly returned to normal.
Barrack looked around and explained to everyone in the trade caravan, “I’m sorry, everyone. We were just thinking about a dead comrade of ours, so we were feeling a little sad. Sorry to have caused a disturbance.”
Milo sat at the campfire and said to Barrack in seriousness, “The dead have passed, but the living still have to lead good lives. My condolences, I wish you all happiness…”
Barrack replied, “Thank you…”
Before favonovel.com could finish speaking, Barrack and his subordinates around favonovel.com started crying again!
Milo was stunned before suddenly realizing this spell could really be fucking turned into an AoE attack!
However, favonovel.com did not notice that Ainu’s expression had changed a short distance away. That was because favonovel.com knew the founder of the organization favonovel.com was from not only hailed from the Central Plains, but favonovel.com was also capable of making people cry out of the blue.
She turned favonovel.com gaze to Milo and observed favonovel.com quietly, wanting to confirm something.
