Leo had just taken a few steps with the little girl, when the little girl suddenly pointed to a certain dirt pit not far away and said, "There is a living person there." ”

Leo immediately stopped.

Moments later, a man with shattered armor and wounds was dug out of the spot the little girl had pointed out.

To Leo's surprise, this person turned out to be an old acquaintance of his: "Foster? This guy didn't even die... It's also a big fate. ”

Gouged out of the pit by Leo and the others was none other than the first captain of the Knights of Lightwings and the number one favorite general of General Biedrins, Foster.

Leo hesitated, but threw a couple of healing spells at Foster's body.

After a few moments, Foster let out a low groan and slowly opened his eyes.

When Foster saw Leo, the captain was obviously taken aback, but immediately Foster's expression slowly relaxed again, and he spoke very weakly: "Lord Leo... You saved me, right? ”

Leo nodded.

Foster took a few difficult breaths: "What about the General?" ”

Leo shrugged his shoulders: "He's dead." ”

"Dead?" Foster was startled again, and then there was undisguised resentment in his eyes, but this resentment did not last long before it was completely replaced by the defeat of the slump: "You won, right? ”

A smile appeared on Leo's face: "Yes, I won." ”

The look of frustration on Foster's face became heavier, and it took a long time before he let out a long sigh: "Leo... Your Majesty, as a believer, I would like to ask you one last thing. ”

Leo said, "Yes, but I don't necessarily agree. ”

"You'll agree." Foster's eyes suddenly lit up: "If you can, please let me die a happy death." ”

Leo was stunned for a moment, and then a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I don't agree, because—I don't want you dead yet." ”

In the end, Leo did not kill Foster, but chose to surrender, and he explained to the others the reason for not killing Foster: "Although General Beedrins and his thousand knights died on the battlefield, don't forget that there are many more Knights of the Wings of Light who are still maintaining order in the barracks and cities, and as long as we persuade Foster to surrender, we will be able to recruit this army for our own use." ”

But who knows if he's really thinking in his heart but Leo? Perhaps Leo simply felt that in such a bloody and cruel day, there were too many people who should not have died but died in the end.

Leo had seen more corpses and more terrible battles in Ridmar than here, but it was the soldiers, generals, ministers, and nobles of the Spani Empire who died there, and it was Leo's future subordinates who died.

Those people are the elite of the Church of Light, and they are supposed to be Leo's future help, but they died here for no reason due to infighting.

For now, at least, Leo doesn't want anyone to die in front of him.

There is no doubt that Leo's surrender was quite surprising to Foster, after all, in Foster's opinion, he was the person who had the most conflicts with Leo's side during this time, and even if he spared anyone, Foster himself should not be spared.

But Foster also surprised Leo once - the captain of the Knights of the Wings of Light happily agreed to Leo's offer, and immediately dragged his seriously injured body out of the city with the help of Belt, and went to the barracks to collect the soldiers of the Knights of the Wings of Light, who had not been led by General Biedrins to participate in this bloody struggle.

The impact of rescuing Foster didn't stop there, when Foster left, Leo, who had promised to take the little girl to eat "delicious", gave up the idea and stayed here, because Leo suddenly remembered that since Foster could survive, then maybe there would be some survivors elsewhere nearby.

The little girl was not dissatisfied with Leo's broken promise, but after hearing that she was going to continue to save people, she began to run around happily and commanded everyone: "Here, yes, dig down to the height of about three puppies, and one guy still has a little breath; There, dig into the ruins about the length of two lions, two of whom should still be alive. ”

Regardless of the little girl's bizarre unit of weights and measures, and regardless of the fact that she obviously has a powerful combat power that everyone present can't catch up with a few times combined, but she only chooses to sell cuteness and command on the side, and never does it herself, in short, with the little girl's powerful and almost perverted induction, Leo and the others spent a whole afternoon, but they did rescue a lot of survivors, and there are some church giants among them.

Two hours later, Foster and Bert arrived with a squadron of Lightwing Knights, and the rescue was immediately sped up, and by the time the sun was about to set, all the dead creatures had been found out of the ruins, dirt pits, cracks in walls, or some other strange place.

What made Leo even happier was that there were two cardinals who were also on the list of rescuers, and both cardinals were those who supported him in the previous vote, especially one of the guys who voted the most crucial - Bishop Leslie.

The fly in the ointment is that both cardinals were seriously injured, and Bishop Leslie lost a left foot, and it looks like he will be confined to crutches or a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

When carrying Bishop Leslie's stretcher past Leo, Leo also specially comforted Bishop Leslie: "Old Leslie, take care of your injuries, there are many places in the future work of the church that you still need to grasp personally." ”

Bishop Leslie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his whole person suddenly burst into a burst of light, and firmly grasped Leo's hand and refused to let go: "Your Majesty Leo, I, Leslie, swear to the great Light and Supreme God, I will always be loyal to you from now on, until my soul is destroyed!" ”

It is said that power is a poison, and sometimes it is an aphrodisiac, but judging from the current situation, power can actually be a healing medicine, otherwise how do you explain that a person who has just been lying on a stretcher becomes radiant in an instant after receiving a promise of power, and wants to start participating in the enthronement ceremony of Leo immediately?

After nightfall, the rescue work finally came to an end, but Leo's own work did not end there.

He also had to arrange and intervene in the patrols, lest the Holy See, which had just experienced a great war, have another accident tonight.

Leo then has to meet with Cheedo to discuss how to uncover the remnants of the Vengeful Brotherhood who had fled to all corners of the Holy See after their complete defeat.

Even in the middle of the night, Leo couldn't rest in peace, because he still had to think about personnel, who should be assigned to the vacated positions after losing so many church leaders in succession in these days, and who should be assigned to take over their old positions after these new high-level leaders took over... And so on and so forth.

In short, this night was destined to be busy and fulfilling for Leo, even so busy that he didn't even have time to take a shower and go to the toilet.

But Leo did not complain in his heart, but devoted himself to this busy post-war reconstruction, in Leo's words, "Lao Tzu is now the Pope, and others can't be so busy!" ”

The joy of victory lingered in the air for a long time.
