Chapter 275 - The Gamble (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The surrounding soldiers were stunned by Timus’s words. The more they thought about it, the more confused they became.

Gilroy was a hero?

Why?

In everyone’s mind, a hero should be high and mighty. They should be well respected by others too.

Timus clearly fit these conditions perfectly.

However, what about Gilroy?

He was just a measly soldier, just like the soldiers around him. Even most of the soldiers around him did not know Gilroy before today.

Who would pay too much attention to an unknown little soldier?

For Timus to call someone like him a hero, it made the soldiers feel strange as they found it hard to understand that concept.

The surrounding soldiers could not help but discuss in low voices.

Seeing this, Gilroy himself was a little flustered. He could completely sense the emotions expressed by the surrounding soldiers.

At first, he thought that he might really be a hero after listening to Mike’s words. However, right now he felt the hesitant attitudes of the other soldiers. He gradually realized that he was a million miles away from being a hero.

He tightly gripped the Sword of the King in his hand, lowered his head, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

However, he once again heard Timus’s firm voice.

“You don’t have to doubt that he is a hero!

“Someone might want to ask why. I can give you an answer right now.”

Hearing this, the surrounding soldiers immediately quieted down and looked at Timus.

Gilroy, on the other hand, kept his head down and dared not to say anything. He did not believe that Timus really thought he was a hero.

Gilroy thought that maybe Timus would say that because he was his new disciple, so he would take care of his self-esteem.

After knowing what Timus said, it made Gilroy even sadder.

However, Timus really expressed his sincere opinion from the bottom of his heart.

“I know that you think Gilroy’s strength is inferior to mine, so he shouldn’t be a hero.

“But I want to say that if each of you had strength like me, then each of you would be able to do what I did.

“It’s not difficult at all!

“But I want to ask you one thing.

“Can you do what Gilroy has done for his people?”

After this question was asked, everyone was stunned and turned to look at Gilroy.

To be more precise, they looked at the Sword of the King in Gilroy’s hand.

Previously, Gilroy had personally snatched this weapon from the elf queen’s hand. This scene burned in everyone’s mind.

Many people started imagining themselves as Gilroy at that time. They then asked themselves the question that the others were thinking too.

‘If I was in that position, could I really do that?’ Many of them had similar thoughts

Many soldiers lost their confidence thinking about this. They felt that they could not do it, and they did not dare to do it.

One had to know that in that kind of intense battle, if an ordinary soldier got close to it, he might die on the spot. There was a possibility that he could even be smashed into pieces!

If one did not have the courage to sacrifice one’s life in order to achieve the greater goal, one would never have been able to do it.

It was hard to imagine how much pressure Gilroy had to bear when he carried out the brave act. Under all kinds of pressure, Gilroy had actually done it. He succeeded in disarming the Sword of the King from the elf queen’s hands.

There was certainly a part of luck in this matter.
