Blue Sword

The sky was gloomy and it seemed like it would rain soon.

A lot of wailing, screaming and sobbing echoed throughout the camp.

A few minutes ago, a swarm of drones from the Holy See once again attacked the camp of the Emperor's coalition forces.

Different from the previous tactics of surprise shooting and fixed-point blasting, this time the drone swarm carried a large number of bombs. While the emperor was inspecting the camp and giving a speech, they approached from high altitude and dropped the bombs quickly. Even the demigods present did not have time. After reacting, he could only save the emperor's safety first.

A large number of soldiers who were caught off guard were swept in by the explosion. Being killed on the spot is considered the luckiest thing. What is even more frightening is that those soldiers who did not sacrifice but suffered disabling and permanent injuries can only hold their stumps and broken arms in vain, howling in pain and sorrow. .

The army doctors were running around, but there were too many injured and they couldn't be rescued at all. As for the corpses that had expired, there was no one to collect them, and they could only be left to scatter everywhere, with blood flowing everywhere.

Beside the dais where the emperor had spoken, the corpses of the Blade Warriors lay strewn about. Eleanor's second brother Henry was leaning on the high platform, and his lower body had been completely blown away by the bomb, exposing the horrific internal wounds inside.

Peggy struggled to activate the "death deprivation" ability to maintain the Frank man's remaining life, while Nora concentrated on stopping the bleeding in his upper body. Eleanor and the Duke of Bavaria stood behind, looking at the scene in front of them with horror and despair.

However, what is really fatal is not the blood loss, but the severely damaged organs.

The stomach, spleen, kidneys, and even the heart...all the organs in the chest and below the lung lobes had been destroyed in the explosion. If it weren't for the "death deprivation" ability, Henry would have lost all vitality at this time.

"No!" Nora stopped her healing ability, "His lost body must be repaired, otherwise simply stopping the bleeding will not save him!"

However, the regeneration of residual limbs is an effect that can only be achieved by level IV "life" abilities. At this time, Nora's ability is only level III.

"Life School, by the way! Find people from the Life School!" Nora suddenly thought of something and hurriedly touched her phone. Then she suddenly realized that her phone had been destroyed in the last demonic wave.

"My law ability can't last that long!" Peggy still insisted on outputting spirituality and shouted hastily, "Unless I use my flesh and blood ability to contaminate him! Hey, you haven't taken magic potions, have you?"

"I've taken it..." Henry, who was dying, barely showed a smile, "Just last week, I took it... Blade Samurai's Justice X..."

"Alas." Peggy was speechless. The justice sequence and the flesh sequence are absolutely incompatible. If I try to transform him into a vampire, I'm afraid he will lose control immediately.

Is there really no way to save him? Eleanor clutched her father's hand tightly, her anxiety and pain evident in her expression. The girls of Cang Qing Sword gathered around, racking their brains and finding nothing to do.

Soon, the emperor and the demigods from other families rushed over.

After all, he is the second son of the Duke of Bavaria, so of course he must give priority to rescue. But faced with this situation, even a demigod couldn't think of any effective way.

"I remember that your bloodline should be of the Vampire clan, right?" Mason, the Bear of the Wasteland, asked Peggy, "Absorb my life force and then transfer it to Viscount Regens. Can I revive him?"

"No." Nora shook her head and said in denial, "The vitality can heal wounds, but it cannot regenerate organs! Now he has even lost his heart!"

Without a heart to maintain blood circulation, an alarming amount of life force is lost every minute and every second. Even if the demigod is used as his life force battery and Peggy acts as a channel for transporting life force, it cannot make up for the loss of life force in this body.

To regenerate the heart, only a few special sequences of abilities or a heart transplant can do it. Not to mention that there are no extraordinary people in the military who meet the requirements. Even if there is a ready-made healthy heart, Paige's "death deprivation" law ability is not enough to sustain the time required for the transplant operation.

Now it seems that it is a dead end.

"Your Majesty..." Henry turned his eyes weakly, and Emperor Otto immediately stepped forward with a solemn expression.

When the drone swarm dropped bombs on him, Henry, who was accompanying him as a bodyguard, immediately discovered the attack from above his head and pushed him away in time.

"I finally... fulfilled... my obligation..." Henry breathed slowly, his lips turning white, "Your Majesty..."

"Yes, Viscount Henry. As a blade warrior, you have fulfilled the oath you swore." The emperor gently held his hand, "I declare in the name of Emperor Otto, the Lord of the Holy Solomon Empire. , your loyalty to the Empire and the Emperor is unquestionable."

"That's good..." Henry seemed to want to smile. However, under the severe pain, his bloody face looked more like crying when he smiled. Later, Eleanor covered her face in grief and her throat squirmed.

"Father……"

"Henry." The Duke of Bavaria stepped forward with a pale face. He knew that he had to welcome the death of his youngest son.

"I... did not... bring shame to the Weisbach family..." His breathing quickened and he said intermittently, "I defended the family's... honor."

"Yes, you defended the honor of the family." The Duke's voice was choked with sobs. He forced himself to suppress the grief in his chest and said in a trembling voice, "Take a rest for a while, Henry..."

"I still have...something to say..." Henry turned his neck with difficulty and cast his last gaze on Eleanor, "Sister..."

"Brother," Eleanor said sadly.

"I'm sorry." Henry's voice gradually weakened, his breath like a candle in the wind, "I'm sorry for John's death..."

"No, I don't blame you!" Eleanor knelt down beside him and held his other hand, "I stopped blaming you a long time ago..."

"That's good..." Henry's mouth moved, "I really want to... drink..."

"I have wine here." War God Leopold came out from behind, "Bavarian beer, maybe a bit inferior."

Henry's eyes were fixed on the bottle of wine, and the meaning was self-evident. Leopold stepped forward, cut off the mouth of the bottle with one hand, and carefully poured the wine into his lips.

He sipped contentedly, but the wine passed through his throat and flowed out mixed with blood from the gap in his esophagus.

"Ah..." Finally Henry closed his mouth, rolled his eyes upward, and looked at the gloomy sky.

"Hallelujah..." He said "Praise God" with the remaining strength, and then his head fell down.

Dead.

Paige stood up with an ugly face. She had very little spirituality left and had to stop the ability of "death deprivation".

It's just that no one would blame her.

The news of the death of the second son of the Duke of Bavaria spread to the major families in the empire as the demigods spread, making the nobles increasingly worried about the outcome of this war.

As if to make up for the low morale, the emperor held a grand funeral for Henry in the name of the Blade Warriors that day, in an attempt to arouse everyone's mourning for the soldiers; on the other hand, based on the clues accumulated by the Blade Warriors' investigation, he destroyed the Dozens of riot plots hidden in the military.

For a time, the order in the Imperial Alliance Army also improved a lot.

The Duke of Bavaria fell ill upon his return to camp. No one would blame the Duke who lost his beloved son, and his knights and troops were temporarily led by the demigod of the Weisbach family, the Forgefire.

As for Eleanor…

"Asker." Nora returned to Hearthfire Island and immediately found Asker again.

"Where's Eleanor? Didn't she come back with you?" Ask noticed that she came back alone. "Where is she now?"

"She is still at the place where her brother died. I can't persuade her at all." Nora said worriedly, with a sad face, "What should I do?"

"She's been standing there for six hours."
