"Hey..."
Watching Gonso @ Bulwick fall off his horse, Modric couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Although the two are incompatible, they are mortal enemies, and when Gonso was the commander of the guerrilla army, he once caused a lot of trouble for Modrek, but as a hero in troubled times, Modrek still admires him.
Whether a person's quality is noble or not does not depend on how much he has achieved in good times, but on how long he has persevered in the face of absolute adversity.
Many people in good times, can make a difference, just like the wind is strong, pigs can go to the sky, many people who fly up with the homeopathic wind, most of them will be lost, when the wind stops, only those who can really fly can continue to stay in the sky, and pigs will be all killed, and when the headwind comes, a lot of bad birds, the same will be killed, only the real eagle, can still soar in adversity.
It is clear that Gondso@Bulvik is an eagle in the face of adversity, he has withstood the cruel test of war, and his will and determination have proved his noble character.
If it weren't for the fact that he was on a different standpoint, Modrek would have wanted to befriend Gonso @ Bulvik, perhaps because of the hero's cherishing of the hero.
Now that Gonso @ Bulvik has killed himself, he can be regarded as using his own blood to fulfill his oath that he once wanted to recover Riguria.
Mordrak took a deep breath with a solemn expression, jumped off his warhorse, and slowly walked in front of Gonso @ Bulvik.
At this time, Gonso @ Bulvik was already dead, and the blood was red on the ground under his feet, but he did not bare his eyes, and seemed to go away with reluctance, he failed to see the recovery of Liguria, perhaps unwillingly.
Modrek crouched down, removed the tiger skin gloves from his hands, and slowly closed Gunso@Bulvik's eyes.
"Go in peace, you have done your best, and the people of Libria will always remember you." Mordrak said slowly to the corpse of Gonso @ Bulvik.
This seems to be Modrek's greatest tribute to his opponent.
"Your Highness, why are you so merciful to the leader of your enemies? He's caused us a lot of trouble. The guard officer on the side asked very puzzled.
"We have different positions, and as enemies, that's his duty." Mordrak said slowly.
"And what to do with him?" The guard officer asked again.
"Choose an auspicious day, I will personally mourn him, erect a statue for him in his hometown, be magnificent, show his integrity and greatness, and after it is completed, I will personally go to pay tribute." Modrek said to his subordinates.
Hearing Mordrac's words, almost all the officers of La Casia were shocked, they had never seen a commander who would sing the praises of the enemy, didn't that admit the fact that they were an invading army?
According to common sense, the winner should try his best to discredit the loser, and then he can stand on the side of glorious justice and justifiably destroy the opposition forces, so as to consolidate his rule.
However, Mordrak did the opposite, and actually had to forge a funeral for the guerrilla rebels in Liguria, which is simply incredible, even in terms of power, I am afraid that such a thing is rare.
However, no one raised objections, because Modrek is not only the commander of the Crusade Army, he is also the prince of Lacasia, the future heir to the throne of Lacasia, and more importantly, through this war, everyone has seen the power of Modrek, he is not only a brave and fearless warrior, but also a resourceful commander, the comprehensive strength of the various states of the Liguriasnadir Federation is by no means below Lakasia, however, he can in just half a year, Just taking down the whole of Liguria is enough to prove his strength.
There were still nobles who questioned his ability before, and even some nobles even wanted to plot to seize power, but now, the opposing forces have long been impressed by Modrec's strong strength, no one dares to covet the throne in vain, and everyone is subservient to Modrek's strong authority.
Even their loyalty to Mordrake far exceeded that of the old king Pendraken.
Of course, the old king Pendraken is not a mediocre king with a small belly, he does not have any suspicions about Mordrac because his son's prestige surpasses his own, he is different from other emperors, he does not have three wives and four concubines, he has only one queen, they are husband and wife, they are a famous loving couple of Lacasia, and Mordrake is their only son and the only heir of Lacazia in the future.
Therefore, in any case, the throne of Pendraken will be a logical succession to Mordrake, so there is no need for a power struggle between father and son.
Only when the old emperor has three wives and four concubines, and has many children, it is easy to break out in the battle for succession, or even kill his father and seize the throne.
Looking at Modrac, who was far away in the East, the old king Pandraken was very happy, and he made Modrake the supreme commander of Lacazia, the generalissimo of the army and navy and the governor of Liguria Snadir, and had full authority to handle all kinds of government affairs in Liguria.
In other words, Pendraken granted Mordreklia the rightful right to rule, and in fact, by this time, Mordrak had become the de facto uncrowned king of Liguria. [The King Who Didn't Wear a Crown]
The skilled craftsmen of Lakasia, according to Modric's instructions, mobilized a large amount of supplies to go to Gonso@Bulvik's hometown, to prepare for the construction of the statue, according to Modrec's instructions, the statue should be as grand as possible, in order to show the nobility and bravery of Gonso@Bulvik.
No one dared to disobey Mordrak's orders, so the chief engineer in charge of the design drew up a number of plans, but after some rigorous discussions.
The original scheme was overturned and the second scheme was redesigned.
Originally, the original plan was to build a huge sculpture with a height of 183 meters for Gonso @ Bulvik, with a clay tire inside, a bronze cast outside, and finally a layer of gold paint, but later it was proposed that such a plan has surpassed the statue of the Virgin in front of the Cathedral of San Marino in La Casia, the statue of the Virgin is also called the statue of mother and child, which is a famous cultural relic and monument to commemorate the first king in the history of Lacasia, King Merkava, and his mother Queen Mother Josephine, which is a famous cultural monument and the most magnificent statue in Lacasia. The statue is 158 meters high, and it is also the second largest building on the plain of La Casia, second only to the church tower.
The statue of the Virgin is of great importance in the minds of the people of La Casia, so it was not appropriate to build a statue beyond the statue of the Virgin for the sake of a rebel leader, so after some discussion, a second plan was adopted, and the height of the statue was reduced from 183 meters to 124 meters, so as to demonstrate the authority of the statue of the Virgin.
