Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1476

Darren saw the expression of loneliness written on Todd's face; he understood how he felt, more than most.

"Sir, you went against Murray to save me. I don't know how I could possibly repay your kindness and how to tell you how grateful I am," Darren said, disbelieving. He was deeply moved and thankful for Todd.

Todd shook his head, smiling bitterly, and said, "As a human being, I think the survival of our race comes before all else. Murray was wrong and wasn't thinking clearly. I did what I had to. I knew both of us would die by the end of the battle. All I could think of was that after I died, I wouldn't feel guilty for Murray's death.

To tell you the truth, even if I had survived, I would have killed myself to make up for it, as a tribute to him. We were as close as brothers, after all."

Both Darren and the Rule Soul Avatar stood in silence, respectfully. Murray and Todd's friendship had stood the test of time for tens of thousands of years.

"Sir, do you mean that we should treat and cure him?" asked Darren.

"How about this? Xavier and I will take Murray. I will arrange a place far from here for him to be held. In that way, once he wakes up, there will be no chance he will get in your way as any enemy would. As for the future... I will stand by my principles."

"Do as you must. I must admit that I can't bear to see him die like this. It's just that he is a little stubborn," Darren said.

Todd's admiration for Darren was even deeper now. Murray had tried many times to take his life and yet he was still so forgiving of him. Darren was a truly admirable being.

"No, thanks,"

a hoarse voice said suddenly.

The figure in black armor then stood up.

He still looked graceful and handsome, despite his pale face.

"Captain!"

Todd shouted, instinctively getting up and standing in front of the rising figure.

"How can you still call me captain?" Murray responded coldly.

"Captain..." Todd said bitterly. "No matter what you may think or do, you will always be my captain."

"You are incredibly stubborn yourself. Just call me Murray." Murray, who had been so ill-tempered and flat, now suddenly grinned.

Todd was stunned by what he was hearing and tears welled up in his eyes. "You do not blame me for anything anymore? Murray!"

"Hmm." Murray heaved a huge sigh and spoke. "I heard everything you just said. All this trouble was caused because I was too stubborn. These two peerless geniuses, Darren and Xavier, are the future of the human race. Going against them would be going against all I once stood for. I would be abandoning all I wanted and hoped for. I have done many things wrong in my time, but I'm not the type of person who recognizes his mistake and does nothing to correct them. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand. Thank you, Murray. Thank you." Todd could see the change that had taken place within Murray. He knew he would never be Darren's enemy again!

"Thank you, Todd," Murray said slowly.

He then moved over to Todd one careful step at a time, and gave him a sincere hug.

"Ha-ha. This is great. I apologize to you, sir. I hope we can work together from now on to make contribution to the human race." Darren was overjoyed.

"Stop right there. How dare you call me a narrow-minded fool before? Like a frog at the bottom of the well?" Murray turned around to look Darren in the face.

"Ahem, I just said what I had to to survive. Ha-ha," Darren said smiling.

"Even so, you should never have said that. You must repay me for the offence you caused me. You made me so angry," Murray said with a dead straight face.

"Of course, sir, if you need anything, please tell me. As long as it is within my power, I will use all my strength to make it happen and compensate you," Darren said hurriedly and politely, cupping his hands.

"Okay then. Please confer a title on me. A general sounds about right," Murray said with a wry smile.

"Well..." Darren was shocked. He understood what Murray was actually asking and he could scarcely believe it. Murray wished to be his subordinate and help him on his mission!

He was choosing to follow behind and support Darren, which was a surprising and magnificent gift, as Darren saw it.

"Huh? So you do not want to compensate me for the damage you caused?"

"Seeing as you are the best spear wielder among us and Todd's best friend, I would not dare grant you that title," Darren announced, smiling cheekily.
