Chapter 269 - The True Hero
Chapter 269: The True Hero
This voice attracted almost everyone’s attention. Everyone turned to look at the entrance of the hall.
The soldier at the entrance of the hall was also slightly stunned when he saw the scene in the hall.
He had never thought that he would be able to see such an odd scene in his life.
Countless imperial guards surrounded a weak-looking guy. In front of him was a stranger who was standing in the hall with an arrogant expression. Beside him was a huge sword.
Wait a minute, why does this huge sword look familiar?
Just as the soldier was in a daze, Harold said unhappily, “Don’t you have news to report? Why are you still standing there?”
Hearing King Harold’s words, the soldier finally reacted. He quickly bypassed the guards in front of him and came to the middle of the hall.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, I am here to pass on the news from the front line.
“The soldiers on the front line are in a very difficult situation. They can’t hold on much longer. Please send reinforcements, Your Majesty!”
Hearing this, Timus and Mike were slightly stunned. The soldiers on the front line could not hold on anymore?
How was that possible!
When they left, they had a huge advantage. Why could they not hold on anymore? And they needed reinforcements! What exactly happened?
Just as Timus and Mike were confused, Harold looked at the soldier in front of him and asked a crucial question.
“How is General Henry now?”
When King Harold asked this question, everyone looked at Timus.
Now was the time to verify whether what Timus had said was true or false.
The soldier hesitated for a moment before he lowered his head and spoke, “General Henry is dead.”
If everyone was only surprised when Timus said this before, now, they were truly shocked.
This guy in front of them was obviously a human soldier. It was absolutely impossible for him to lie. The authenticity of this news was very believable.
The great hero of the human race actually died on the battlefield. This was a great blow to the officials.
However, Harold was not too disappointed, because he still remembered that Timus had said something along the lines that Henry was a liar.
He looked at the soldier and asked again, “How did General Henry die?”
The soldier thought for a moment and said, “At that time, I actually didn’t see it very clearly, because I was a soldier standing in the back row.
“I only remember that a fireball flew over from the elf camp. This fireball hit General Henry, and then General Henry died.”
Hearing this, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
Many officials looked at Timus in surprise.
A fireball killed General Henry?
Why did the development of the matter really seem to be in line with what this young man said?
Once again, he asked again just to confirm.
“Is it really just a fireball?”
“It’s really just a fireball…”
“General Henry just died?”
“Straight to death…”
“…”
Harold fell silent. Instead of immediately asking other questions, he was thinking about what Timus had said.
Is it true that General Henry was a liar? How could that be possible? After all, General Henry had done so much meritorious service. How did that make him into a liar?
For a moment, Harold did not know how to accept this fact. He slowly shifted his gaze to Timus. What he saw was Timus’ determined gaze.
That gaze seemed to say, “I told you that was the case, right?”
Seeing that gaze, Harold thought of another matter and hurriedly asked the soldier, “Elf race!
“How is the elf race’s queen now?”
When the soldier heard this question, he seemed to have just thought of this matter and hurriedly said, “I was just about to say this! Reporting to your Majesty, the Elf Queen is dead!”
Hearing this news, the entire place was in an uproar.
The elven queen was really dead? That was the elven queen!
At this moment, the most shocked person was none other than the commander of the Imperial guards, Harvey!
He had once vowed that this young man had absolutely no ability to kill the elven queen. Right now, this soldier from the front line had already sent news.
The elven queen was really dead. No matter how hard it was to accept this matter, he had to accept it now.
The soldier was also confused. He had never thought that King Harold would actually ask about this. If he had not been so shocked by the scene in the hall, he would not have had the chance to let Harold speak first. The soldier’s first words should have been about this matter.
Moreover, this matter should have been very shocking. If it had been under normal circumstances, the elven queen would not have personally come to the battlefield to lead the soldiers in battle.
However, it was clearly very strange that King Harold had taken the initiative to ask about this matter.
When the soldier arrived at a very strange time, King Harold raised his right hand. The soldier was slightly stunned. He followed the direction of King Harold’s finger and looked to the side.
It was the young man with a huge sword beside him.
“Have you seen this person before?” This was his last question, and also the most crucial one.
If this powerful young man had really killed the elven queen on the battlefield, then this soldier would definitely have seen him before.
If this soldier had not seen him before, then there were only two possibilities.
One was that the soldier was not at the scene. However, this was almost impossible. A soldier not at the scene could only mean one thing, and that was that he had deserted. Would the deserter come back to report the news?
This was not realistic.
So there was only one other possibility. If the soldier did not know him, then this could mean that Timus had lied! As long as he confirmed this, he would be able to confirm whether what Timus said was true or false.
“You… could you be the one at that time…”
The soldier looked at Timus’ face and was slightly stunned at first, then his eyes widened more and more. Finally, he revealed a surprised expression and pointed at Timus.
“I remember now. At that time, it was you who helped us to fight against the elven queen, and you even won!”
At this point, the soldier turned to look at the king in surprise.
“Your Majesty, this warrior is the real hero!”
Hearing this, everyone looked at Timus. Timus had his hands on his hips, and he looked very pleased with himself. Obviously, this kid was a little too pleased with himself again. It seemed that the word hero was related to him.
However, the truth was the truth. Harold immediately accepted this explanation.
He nodded with a firm expression, “All of this is a misunderstanding. Guards, listen up and quickly release that warrior.
“Also…”
Harold looked at the soldier and said, “You just said that the front line is in big trouble?”
Hearing this, the happy expression on the soldier’s face completely disappeared, and it revealed a trace of fear.
“The elf soldier…
“The elf soldiers have all been resurrected!”
