The matter quarreled for several days with no fundamental result until Burnham Darkwill personally went to the Empire's Death Row and met with Thane.
Looking at the tall young man who was tied to the wooden shackles by thick iron chains, Burnham did not see any fear in Thain's eyes, but only a calmness as cold as cold iron.
"Do you know you are about to die? It has been almost five hundred years since you were the first young conscript to kill the conscript officer in the Plaza de la Conqueror. Countless people are clamoring to hang you on the execution platform.
.”
"I'm not afraid of death. I just hope that after my death, there will be countless people who dare to expel the empire's pests."
With a chuckle, Burnham suddenly became interested in the young man in front of him.
"There are indeed many cowards in the empire, and there are also many pests in the empire as you call them, but is this what you want? To become a martyr who changes the empire? To be admired by others?"
What confused Burnham was that Thane shook his head.
"I don't want to be a martyr, nor do I want to be the one who changes the empire. I just can't tolerate cowards harming the interests of the empire in front of me, that's all.
Our ancestor Roxy has always relied on the glory of fighting to the death to stand on the earth. This is the glory that belongs to Roxy alone, but I can't see it now. In this case, I might as well die here. I am disappointed to leave this
s country."
Seeing his former self from Thain's face, Burnham had a rare smile on his pale face.
"Sean, do you know who I am?"
Thane shook his head.
"I don't know, I've never met you."
"I am Burnham Darkwill, the commander-in-chief of the empire, and the most powerful person in the empire."
Hearing this, Thane lowered his head and no longer looked at Burnham.
"oh."
"oh?"
Stunned by the tepid 'oh', Burnham's face became tense and imposing.
After living for hundreds of years, his expression control has already reached the level of perfection.
"Aren't you afraid? I am the commander-in-chief. If you offend me, I will kill you immediately with just one word. Your pride, your courage, and your loyalty are worthless in front of me."
"Even if you are the commander-in-chief, you cannot kill a real Roxy warrior. Even if I die, I will not beg for mercy from anyone, even if you are the commander-in-chief of the empire."
After a pause, Thain added.
"Even if you let me go, I won't make any changes because of your kindness to me. If you want to use your identity to control me, I can only say that you are doing a useless thing... kill me.
.”
His face softened again, Burnham opened the cell door and approached Thane who lowered his head.
"I don't need to bribe anyone. I just ask you, if I let you go, what can you bring me?"
Without raising his head, Thain said calmly.
"If you put me in an Imperial Fortress, I will continue to kill Imperial vermin."
"Then what if I put you on the battlefield?"
Raising his head, Thain looked at Burnham indifferently.
"Then I will kill all enemies I can see until I win the final victory or die on the battlefield."
"……Hahaha!
Ha ha ha ha!
How many years!
This is the Noxian warrior I want to see!
"
Laughing like crazy, Burnham turned and left, but his voice echoed in the corridor of the death row and reached Thain's ears.
"There is a group of rebellious barbarian bandits in the northern Dalmo Plains who are trampling on the glory of the empire. Prove to me that you are not a coward who talks nonsense, warrior Thain."
