He cut his throat deeply with a knife that he carried with him. When Roger rushed into the room, blood was still pouring out from the terrible wound. The sound that the two heard outside the room just now was the knife in Hamilton's hand.
The sound of landing.
Anna, who was following Roger, also came in. When she saw her father, she immediately threw herself to the bedside, choked with sobs and called out in a low voice: "Dad...Dad!"
Roger came to the bedside quietly and found that although Hamilton had stopped breathing, there was a smile of relief on his face. After knowing his final outcome, the Duke had already planned to do this. Before he came
Death is certainly terrible, but the most terrible thing is to become an undead creature after death and never rest in peace. The Duke of the Kingdom must not fall into such an end, so Hamilton not only decided to kill himself, but also carved a line on his bedside with a knife
Words: After I die, cremate my body!
It can be seen from this line that Hamilton is determined not to become an undead creature, and for this reason he will not hesitate to destroy his own body.
Although both Roger and Anna were prepared for Hamilton's ending, they still felt very sad when it actually happened. Anna in particular was very sad, kneeling in front of her father's body and crying like a tearful person.
Similar.
Roger knew that it would be a good thing to vent his emotions at this time, so he did not stop Anna, but let her cry happily. Anna had been under enough pressure for many days, and if she was asked to express her sadness again,
Holding it in your heart is not good for your health.
I don't know how long I cried, but the exhausted Anna finally fell asleep. Roger gently picked up Anna's body, which was much lighter, came to her room, and gently put Anna on the bed.
Looking at Anna's haggard look, Roger sighed loudly, covered her with a quilt and walked out of the room gently. Anna was tired, it was time for her to have a good rest, and Roger would naturally take care of the rest.
When Roger came outside the castle, he first summoned all Hamilton's soldiers and told everyone about the Duke's unfortunate death. Originally, the Duke's injury was kept secret to avoid the morale of the army being weakened. Now that Roger is in charge of the overall situation, there is no need for it.
Do it again.
"Duke Hamilton has passed away in order to eliminate undead creatures and entered the paradise of the Supreme God. May he rest in peace!" Roger said loudly to the remaining one or two thousand soldiers, who were all exhausted and almost all injured: "Go on.
The battle down here will be directed by me. The biggest problem before us is how to return safely to the Linton Pass. I can't guarantee that each of you will go home safely, but I will try my best.
Bring as many people back as possible!"
When Roger said that the Duke had passed away, there was a commotion among the soldiers. Those who could be brought to the Lunde Peninsula by Hamilton were naturally all his direct troops. These people were extremely loyal to Hamilton. At this time, suddenly
Hearing that the Duke has passed away, it is inevitable that there will be some emotional fluctuations.
However, when Roger announced that he would take over Duke Hamilton's command of the battle, no soldiers raised objections. After all, after the Duke's death, Roger was the person with the highest title in Gaia, so there was nothing wrong with him commanding the battle. What's more, Roger
Regardless of his own safety, Jay took the initiative to come to the Lunde Peninsula where the undead were ravaged and fight side by side with everyone. This alone was enough to win him the respect of the soldiers.
And now the forces guarding Gaia City are all soldiers brought by Roger. These soldiers have amazing combat effectiveness, and they do not fall behind in the face of a large number of undead creatures, which also makes the Duke's soldiers admire them very much.
I feel it is really gratifying to have such comrades.
Therefore, from every aspect, Roger was the best candidate to be the commander. Although his proposal to command the next battle seemed a bit aggressive, he also won the support of everyone.
Knight Ralph was very sad after learning the news of the Duke's death, but he was the first to express his opinion: "I agree with the Earl being the commander, and I believe you can lead everyone out of here alive!"
"We obey your orders, Your Majesty the Earl!" Since even the knights under the Duke's command had expressed their opinions, the soldiers naturally had no objections and all expressed their willingness to obey Roger's orders.
"Very well, the first order is to rest!" Roger said to Ralph: "The soldiers that the Duke originally brought will be under your unified command. Let everyone have a good rest first and have enough energy to fight the undead creatures and serve the Duke."
revenge!"
"Yes!" Ralph saluted Roger, and then directed the tired soldiers to rest. During this time, the knights had seen the combat effectiveness of Roger's soldiers, and were confident that they could defend against the attack of undead creatures, so
Arrange your subordinates to rest with confidence.
After solving the soldiers' problems, Roger returned to Anna's room, sat down gently in a chair, closed his eyes and rested. The continuous traveling in the past few days also made him feel a little tired, and it was time to take a rest.
It's time.
He didn't know how long he had slept, but Roger was awakened by a soft sound in the room. He quickly opened his eyes and found that Anna had woken up and was sitting on the bed crying silently.
Roger quickly came to Anna, gently hugged her shoulders and comforted her softly: "Don't be too sad, your father won't expect you to be like this in heaven."
"I know, I just feel sad." Anna leaned on Roger's shoulder and whispered: "When I set out here, my father told me with high spirits that the disaster caused by the undead in Lunde Peninsula would be completely solved soon.
But, I didn’t expect..."
At this point, Anna started sobbing softly again. Roger comforted her softly for a long time. After she gradually calmed down, he asked in a low voice: "Why is your father so confident that he can eliminate the undead in the entire Lunde Peninsula?"
"Father said that His Majesty the King told him that the Archangel Statue, an artifact created by the Supreme God, is in the city of Gaia." Anna whispered to Roger: "His Majesty the King also said that as long as the Archangel Statue is found, all undead creatures can be eliminated.
When my father knew the news, he immediately came with his troops, but before he could find the statue, he was surrounded by undead creatures. The soldiers fought desperately, but still..."
At this point Anna burst into tears again. The tragic death of her father was a huge blow to Anna, turning her from a strong woman into a weak woman.
After listening to Anna's account of what happened, and then thinking about what Duke Hamilton said to him before he died, Roger felt a surge of anger burning in his chest. Roger was already sure that the Duke would suffer such a tragic fate today.
, it was completely a conspiracy planned by the king!
