Chapter 1431 Death of the "Saint"
"I remember... your name is Leah, right? It's amazing... why haven't you changed your appearance after so many years?"
"We'll talk about this kind of unimportant things later. Jill, you're seriously injured... half of your body is covered in blood..."
"Haha... you were chopped in the waist, of course half of your body is covered in blood. What a wonderful fate, I didn't expect... to meet you at this time..."
"If I say I came here specifically to find you and Jeanne, would you believe me?"
"You're still as joking as ever... Forget it, whether our meeting is pure coincidence or your intentional act, these things don't matter now. Leah, can you... do me a favor?"
"I've guessed what you want me to do for you. You want me to take Jeanne away. Am I right?"
"Haha... you guessed I got it... Yes, just as you said. Liya, please, please take Jeanne away...!"
"... I took Jeanne away, what about you?"
"Me? Haha, look at me now, do you think it's necessary to escape? Even if you escape, no doctor can save a person whose blood is almost drained out..."
"... That's true..."
"Actually... after Commander Bar committed suicide, I wanted to die heroically like Eugene... But I couldn't do that. If I did that, it would mean leaving Jeanne alone... I did a lot of... excessive things to Jeanne before... Jeanne was actually not willing to follow us to fight the Britannians. It was me who begged Jeanne to help us, and the kind-hearted Jeanne nodded and agreed to follow me. We liberated Orleans together... At that time, I was already taking advantage of Jeanne... Taking advantage of Jeanne's kindness... I was too much, right? "
"Yes, it was a bit too much. I also hate this kind of behavior of taking advantage of others' kindness."
"I also think I was very annoying at that time, but there was nothing I could do... Compared to Jeanne's feelings, I care more about the survival of this country... After liberating Orleans, my exploitation of Jeanne not only did not weaken, but it became worse... I turned a blind eye to Baal's "saint-making" behavior, and deliberately made Jeanne a "saint", making Jeanne bear the pressure and burden that she didn't have to bear... Even until Her Majesty Queen Bella surrendered to the Britannia Empire, I still didn't let Jeanne go, and forced Jeanne to flee with us and continue to fight against the Britannia Empire... I really hate it. Evil... I keep using Jeanna... Ugh...!"
"You look like you are in pain. I have some painkillers here. Do you want to take some? You will feel better after taking the painkillers."
"No need... We are all going to die anyway, so don't waste precious medicine... I don't have any other extravagant hopes now... Now that Commander Bar is dead, I no longer hope that the Rolin Empire will be revived, nor do I hope that I can survive... I just hope that Jeanna can return to her hometown and become that simple rural girl again, not some "saint"... Leah, this is the most important... and also the last request in my life... Please take Jeanna away... Take Jeanna back to her hometown..."
"... Your request is really outrageous. Do you know how many Britannia soldiers are nearby? Even for me, it is difficult to take such a big living person away."
"I know my request is outrageous... but you are the only one I can ask for help now..."
"... I understand. I accept your request. "
"Thank you very much... Before you leave... Can you help me pick up the sword I dropped there and give it back to me...? Rather than dying at the hands of the Britannians... I would rather die at my own hands..."
"Of course. Do you have any words for Jeanne? I'll tell her after she wakes up."
"Haha... Thank you... If Jeanne wakes up... Please apologize to her for me... Apart from the apology,
I have nothing else to say to Jeanne..."
"... I see. Then - goodbye."
"Well... goodbye... Liya... goodbye... Jeanne..."

Su Cheng's temporary office in Tuli, in the former Rolin Empire -
"Sir." Deng Jiaer handed the written report to Su Cheng in front of him, and said respectfully, "The combat report on the encirclement and suppression of Bal and others has been compiled. "
Privately addressing Su Cheng as "Mr.", and publicly addressing Su Cheng as "Captain" - after so many years, Deng Jiaer has already mastered the changes in this set of addresses.
After the fall of Orleans, some senior generals of Orleans betrayed Barr and others, and revealed the number and identities of Barr and others who escaped to the Britannia Army.
According to the disclosure of those senior generals - Barr's group of escapees, including the "Saint", totaled 5 people.
And these 5 people are now dead.
At the same time, the bodies of the 5 people were successfully recovered, and their identities were all confirmed.
Among the 5 people, only Charles fought to the end, and even when he died, he did not let go of the sword in his hand.
Until he died, Charles killed 39 Britannia soldiers by himself.
Except for Charles, the other four people - Bar, Gilles, Eugene, and Jeanne all committed suicide.
And the method of suicide was exactly the same, all of them cut the aorta in the neck.
This morning, the bodies of the five people have been transported to Tuli.
Deng Jiaer personally took several "former senior officers of the Luo Lin Army" who knew what Bar and others looked like to confirm the identity of each body for the second time.
After hastily reading the written report in his hand, Su Cheng asked Deng Jiaer:
"Have you confirmed the identity of the female corpse? Is it really the "Saint"?
"Confirmed. The "former senior officers of the Luo Lin Army" I took to confirm the identity of the corpse have seen the appearance of the "Saint" with their own eyes, and they all patted their chests to guarantee that the female corpse is the "Saint."
"And I saw that the hair color, eye color, hairstyle and appearance of the female corpse are exactly the same as those said in the rumors, so the female corpse should be the "Saint" without a doubt."
Speaking of this, Deng Jiaer paused.
Then he added: "Sir, do you want to go and confirm it with your own eyes?" "...No need." Su Cheng sighed lightly, "The 'Saint' is a poor girl who has become a tool for the game between big countries...I can't bear to see the body of this poor girl." "Bury them all properly. Just bury them somewhere outside of Tuli."
