Marvel: Father of the Saints

"If it's a man, go for it! Teacher Peggy is watching!"

……

The other holy fighters were booing one after another, and they even grinned when they accidentally got involved in the pain of the wound, and they didn't stop.

"Shh, Peggy, you're still so popular." Howard joked, whistling.

"What? Regret it? Unfortunately, I have nothing to do with you." Peggy pursed her lips and turned back.

"That's impossible, I only have Maria in my heart!"

"Oh? Is that so? I remember I still have your house bills in my safe..."

"Pfft! Cough cough... where did you come from?"

"The ones left in the past were originally intended to be destroyed, but I changed my mind. It's very good for collection. Can you take it out and enjoy it, together with Maria..."

"Pfft..."

Facing Peggy, the three armies of the sea, land and air are definitely again, Howard has a "backbone"... Kneeling...

"Sister! I was wrong! You have something to tell you!"

"Woo..." There were constant boos in the room, all of them despised Howard's immorality.

"Pfft..." Maier, who was standing at the door watching the play, couldn't help laughing out loud, which made everyone notice him.

"grown ups!"

"Master Maier!"

"You're here!"

The Saints were very excited, and Maier actually came to see them in person!

Those who were so seriously injured that they needed to lie in the ward were all bronze saints. They were located on the bottom floor of the saints, and they never thought that Maier would come to visit them in person.

"Okay, lie down." Seeing that everyone was struggling to get up, Maier used "psychic power" to push them all back.

"It's okay, Lord Maier! This little injury is nothing serious!"

"That's right! I'm almost healed now!"

"I can fight another three hundred rounds... Hiss!"

……

Seeing the energetic appearance of the group of wounded, Maier grinned a dangerous arc at the corner of his mouth.

"Really?"

"Yeah!" The saints were nodding their heads, only Howard, Peggy, and Steve didn't talk, and turned their heads to the side. When they saw Maier's smile, they knew that something was wrong. .

"Then... I'll tell Shi On, everyone's training will be increased tenfold in the future."

"what!?"

"No!?"

"Master Maier! I was wrong!"

"People will die! People will really die!"

……

The saints turned pale, and quickly admitted their mistake, the current training is already very harsh, how about ten times more?It's broken, kill me!

Also, Maier didn't say that it was just a few of them who increased, but everyone!

If it is really announced, before they are trained to death, they may almost be hammered to death by other friends.

"Okay, heal your wounds obediently, there won't be any battles in the near future, and only when you heal your wounds can you prepare for future battles," Maier said.

"Yes, Lord Maier."

"Well, then I'll go first, Howard, come with me."

"Okay, Mr. Melin."

Chapter 120 Nine: Everyone will die, but how?

The celebration is over, and the next thing is the funeral.

"Triangle" Colonels, "Spider" Allegone, "Moby Dick" Moses.

Five young bronze saints of "Equestria", "Dorado", "Canis Major", "Canis Minor", and "Dolphin".

From the beginning to the end of this holy war with the Neptune Army, eight saints died. They are worthy of the mission of the saints and the glory of the saints.

"When...when..."

Twelve rings of respect were sounded, and the heavy bells were solemn and solemn.

This is the second time such a grand funeral has been held. The first time was the death of Murkaba, and the second time was the sacrifice of eight saints.

Everyone prayed that this would be the last time, but they also knew it couldn't be the last time.

Poseidon fell, Atlantis was destroyed, and the sea fighters were all wiped out. This is a great victory.

But... this is only the beginning of the holy war.

Hades is still alive, and the Pluto army is still in the seal;

Zeus is still at ease in the outer universe, and he does not know when he will return and what kind of disaster it will bring;

Fomen has been hiding himself, and he doesn't know when he will suddenly appear and stab Sanctuary...

The awakening of the remnant soul of Ares is a signal that the unfallen gods will recover one by one, and they will come again to compete for the ownership of the land.

Eight people were sacrificed this time, how many people will be sacrificed next time?

No one knows about this grown-up, but the answer they hope for in their hearts has always been zero.

At the end of the silence, Maier took the lead, shoveled down the first pair of soil, and buried the eight saints in the saint cemetery, wishing them peace again, watching him and Athena lead the saints to win the final jihad , usher in eternal peace for the earth (especially the war of gods).

The final silence ended, and Maier passed the saint fighters and came in front of the candidates.

From the eyes of the candidates, he saw sadness, unwillingness, and fear of death.

"Cronus, Allegone, Moses...they are dead." Maier said directly, "The battles in the future will only become more intense and fiercer, you... are you ready? "

The cadets took a step back in fear of Maier's aura, then lowered their heads in shame.

"Really? Not ready? It's okay..."

When the candidates heard this, they raised their heads and looked at Maier with various expressions.

"They may also die." Maier pointed to the other saints first, and then pointed to himself, "I may die too."

"grown ups!"

"Master Maier!"

……

Everyone exclaimed, Maier is the Optimus Prime of the sanctuary, they can't imagine why Maier would say that he will die, and they can't imagine what will happen to the sanctuary if it comes true, they... what should they do?

"Everyone will die, but!" Maier raised his voice, looking at the immature candidates with scorching eyes.

"Where do you want to die? Do you die in a mediocre way under the protection of others? Or on the battlefield, radiate your own brilliance, die bravely for others, for the earth, and for yourself?"

Faced with Maier's questioning, the candidates lowered their heads in shame, their fists were drawn in, and their clenched teeth had already bit their lips.

"war!"

I don't know who it is, raised his fist first, and shouted.

"war!"

"war!!"

First came the other candidates, then the Saints, and finally the representatives of ordinary people attending the funeral.

The high fighting spirit continued to spread, from the cemetery of the saints to the Zodiac, and then to the entire sanctuary, the high courage overwhelmed the fear of death.

"Very good! The dead are gone, remembering is naturally important, but we must move forward with their will! There is a vacancy for saints, and a new generation of saints... was born among you, tell me, you... ...are you ready?"

"Ready!"

"Very well, I'm waiting for the day when you all become saints."

"Fight for Lord Maier! Fight for Lord Athena! Fight for the love and hope of the earth!"

Not only the candidates, but also the saints, Shion and Alex, all knelt on one knee and shouted passionately.

"Well, I trust you."

Maier nodded and asked Shion to arrange the rest of the matter before returning to the temple.

……

"Steve, I now feel that you made a holy warrior... a wrong choice." Howard said, looking at the people who were leaving.

"Why?" Steve didn't understand what Howard meant. After fighting side by side this time, he had a deeper feeling for the sanctuary, especially the saints who fought together in Atlantis. He gave his back to them, personally, he didn't know how many lives he owed to other saints.Although there are still a lot of them, this is not a quantity that can be measured.

"Because..." Howard patted Steve on the shoulder and said, "I don't want to see that day. There is your tombstone here."

Seeing Howard's bleak back, Steve was taken aback, thoughtful.

"Don't worry, Steve, Howard...he's just not reconciled." Peggy took Steve's hand and comforted him.

"Not reconciled?"

"Yes, maybe this is a man. When others are fighting, they don't want to just look at other people's backs. Instead, they participate in it and fight side by side, even if he has made great achievements in other areas." Peggy looked at Howard's face Back said.

"Fighting side by side..." Steve smiled wryly at himself.

If it was before, he didn't know this feeling, because he is the "captain" and he thinks he should take more responsibilities.

So in every battle, he charged forward alone, bearing most of the dangers for the others.

So rather than everyone fighting together, he is more willing to bear everything alone, and minimize the number of people entering the battlefield.

This feeling was exacerbated after Bucky's disappearance.

But this time, he discovered that he was no longer the "Captain", but the "Shield" Bronze Saint Seiya. He no longer has the ability to change the battle situation alone, and no longer has the ability to bear most of the danger alone. Fight side by side, stay together, support each other even if you are injured, and never fall down.

For the first time, he felt that it was great to have comrades by his side!

If Maier didn't let him go with him this time, maybe he would have the same unwillingness as Howard.

As Maier said just now, everyone is going to die, it's just a matter of time.Or die of accident, or of disease, or of old age, or of disaster...

But where would you like to die?Is it under the wings of others, doing nothing, regretting why he went to the battlefield at the last moment of his life?Or do you want to show off your brilliance to the fullest in order to win on the battlefield, and die vigorously?

Steve wouldn't hesitate to choose the latter, and Howard...he hoped it would be the latter, too.

"Why don't you ask if there is any way to help Howard." Steve said.

"Maria might hate you to death."

"No, she is Maria, the woman who subdued Howard, she is not so fragile."

……

What Peggy and Steve didn't know was that Howard was not as depressed as they imagined, but went directly to Shion and asked to meet Maier.

And Shion was about to go to the temple to ask for instructions, and he had already received Maier's permission.

Shion took Howard to the temple and left, leaving Maier and Howard to talk alone.

"What's wrong?" Maier asked Howard with a gentle smile.

But Howard understood that Melin's mood was not what he showed.Although he tried his best to hide it, he still found the sadness hidden in his eyes, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were not completely wiped away.

"Heaven Comes"

"Mr. Maier, I'm here... to seek your help."

"Do you also want to be a member of the Saint Seiya?"

"Yes……"

"Unfortunately, Howard, your chances of becoming a saint are very slim." Maier said while shaking his head.

Howard is indeed a very good person, kind and brave. Although he is a little... arrogant and poisonous, his love for the earth is true, and he is no less than anyone else.It stands to reason that like the other candidates, he has the potential to become a saint.
