Chapter 208: The Tin Knight and The Forest of Deception (2)
「Go back.」
That was the word the lord left for his knights.
In a moment of extreme crisis. It was an order given while fighting against endlessly attacking enemies.
For the first time in their lives, the knights protested against their lord.
My lord. Our great lord.
Lord to whom we are not lacking in dedicating our swords, loyalty, and lives.
Esteemed lord who inherits the noble hero’s blood and is renowned as the kingdom’s finest.
How can you say such a thing?
How can you give such an unjust order?
If there is a life that should return alive more than anyone here, it is you, my lord. How can you order us to commit the disloyalty of leaving you behind?
「If I try to escape, the enemies will never let me go, but conversely, if I remain, they will focus on me.」
「So, go. Make sure to return and report what happened here. That is my final order to you.」
