Chapter 1,430 Will Anyone Remember Us?

Crack, crack...

The sound of military boots stomping on the ground came from all directions and surrounded Gilles and his men...

"...The Britannians are attacking..." Charles said in a calm and somewhat creepy tone, "What should we do next?"

"What else can we do?" Eugene had stopped wailing at this time, "What else can we do now?"

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Eugene's face.

"Captain Barr is dead... This country is finished..."

"Without the leadership of Captain Barr, how can we still compete with the Britannian Empire..."

"Let's just disperse... Next... Everyone can do whatever they want..."

After Eugene's words fell, no one, whether Jeanne, Gilles or Charles, raised a single objection.

...

...After a while, Charles let out a long sigh.

Then, the originally gloomy cheeks began to show a ray of light.

"I've decided to fight the Britannians to the end." Charles seemed to have figured out the difficult problem that had puzzled him for decades, with a relaxed smile on his face, "Does anyone want to join me?"

"Sorry..." Eugene rejected Charles bluntly, "I've... given up, and don't want to fight anymore..."

Seeing Eugene reject him, Charles didn't get angry, and cast his eyes on Gilles and Jeanne.

"... I'm going to send Jeanne back to Domremy Village."

Gill said softly.

Jeanne turned her head and looked at Gilles in surprise.

And Gilles then continued:

"I promised Jeanne before... I will definitely send her back to her hometown of Domremy...!"

"I will definitely send Jeanne back to her hometown... at any cost..."

Gill politely rejected Charles.

But Charles still didn't look angry.

Instead, he laughed heartily a few times.

"Okay! Gil, I'll help you attract the attention of the Britannians! While I'm distracting the Britannians, take Jeanne and run away!"

"No problem." Gil didn't refuse and nodded to accept Charles's...last kindness.

Charles drew his sword.

He looked at Gil and Jeanne, and finally at Eugene.

"...Everyone." Until this time, Charles still had that weird smile on his face, "Goodbye."

After saying that, without waiting for Gil and the others to answer, Charles rushed towards the darkness behind him with his sword, towards the "click-click" sound of military boots stepping on the ground.

But in just a moment, Charles' figure was swallowed up by the ink-like darkness.

In less than a moment, bursts of shouting and killing came from the direction where Charles disappeared.

"... Gil, take Jeanne and run away while the Britannians' attention is diverted by Sir Charles."

"If it's too late, you may not be able to escape."

Eugene slowly drew out his sword while speaking.

Then he put the sword on his neck.

"...Yes. Let's go now... Goodbye, Eugene."

"Yes." Eugene nodded gently.

"... Gil." Eugene was silent for a few seconds and asked Gil, "Do you think... people in the future will remember us?"

"Will they remember us... 'fools' who fought for this country until the last moment?"

Eugene's tone was as if he was asking Gil.

It was as if he was asking himself.

Gil shrugged his shoulders at the question raised by Eugene.

"Who knows... How can I know the future?"

"Heh." Eugene chuckled, "That's true..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Eugene exerted force with both hands and let the sharp sword blade cut the aorta in his neck.

Gilles did not see Eugene's last moment.

Or rather... he could not bear to see Eugene's last moment...

He directly pulled Jeanne's arm and strode towards the direction farthest from the shouting and killing.

Ahead, there was a seemingly endless darkness.

Stepping into this seemingly endless darkness, Gilles was surprised to find that there was no fear or anxiety in his heart.

After learning that he no longer had to fight for the country, no longer had to force Jeanne to be a "saint" in disguise, and could fulfill his promise to Jeanne and send Jeanne back to Domremy Village, Gilles only felt - a sense of relief.

…

…

“…Jill.”

“What’s the matter?”

“Are we…going back to Domremi now?”

“Yes. After all, I promised you that I would definitely send you back to Domremi Village.”

“…We…don’t have to fight the Britannians anymore?”

“It’s impossible to defeat the Britannians. Next, we can do whatever we want.”

“…After you send me back to Domremi Village, what are you going to do next, Jill?”

“I haven’t really thought about this question…Does your village of Domremi welcome outsiders? I’d rather be a farmer in Domremi Village for the rest of my life.”

“Of course. But…Jill, can you do farm work?”

“No. But I will study hard.”

…

…

"I saw it! It's a woman! That person must be the 'Saint' of the Luo Lin Empire! Kill her! Kill the man next to her too!"

"Kill!"

"Rush! Surround them!"

…

…

"Huh...huh...huh... Jeanne! Hold on to me! Run!"

"Ah! Look ahead, Jill! There are Britannians ahead too!"

"Damn it! The siege net is so dense...!"

…

…

"Hand over the woman next to you obediently!"

"As long as you hand over that woman, we can spare your life! Anyway, the head of the 'saint' is only worth anything!"

…

…

"I'm so sorry, my Britannia is not very good. I didn't understand a single word of the bird language you spoke! Stop saying these bird songs! Come on over here!"

…

…

"Jean! Jean! Damn it... the hilt of the damn Britannian's sword just hit Jean's head...! Jean! Can you hear me clearly?!"

"Well……"

"That's great...responsive! It shouldn't be too serious! Jeanne, I'm sorry. I have to have you stay on my back for a while for the rest of the journey."

…

…

"Huh... Huh... Huh... Jeanne, are you okay now? Jeanne? Jeanne?! Have you passed out..."

…

…

"We have already reached this place, why can we still hear the sound of military boots hitting the ground?! How many Britannians are there!"

…

…

"Huh...huh...huh...wow!"

…

…

"Jean, I'm sorry... I didn't stand firm just now, causing you to fall to the ground. I will help you up right now... Uh! Uh-huh...!"

…

…

"...It's a shame that you can carry such a broken body until now."

"Who?! Who are you?!"

"Relax, I'm not a soldier of the Britannia Army. It's me. Do you still recognize me?"

"You are...ah! You are that guy!"

"It seems you still remember me, that will be much easier."

"Why...are you here?! And--how come you haven't aged...?"
