Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info For a long time, Leo, who was in deep thought, raised his head and said uncertainly

"My dear friend, what do you mean...... These soldiers need to have some kind of strong faith? But now from my point of view, they have perfectly possessed these things, and Stormwind City has not only given them a generous enough military salary, but also given these grassroots soldiers the goal of a better life in the future......"

Glancing at Al who lowered his head to drink water and did not answer immediately, Finn, who was behind Leo, sighed, and took the initiative to explain after bowing his head slightly

"Your Highness, that's not what he meant, as we all know, you have done a good job, including me, and even every soldier is willing to die for you without hesitation, but...... As I told you a long time ago, you are a little too merciful, and the army is the place where such emotions are least needed, and forgive me the offense, if you continue like this, your protection will only end up killing more of them......"

“…… I don't understand."

Looking at Keith in some dismay, Leo was a little confused by the similar conversation between the two men, of course, in this respect he was indeed much better than Rolf, who also followed the army, at least Leo was still very humble and receptive to advice where he was not good at it

Gently putting down the kettle in his hand, Al smiled and pointed to a group of champion swordsmen patrolling not far away

"Your Highness, look at them, look at these soldiers, what is the difference between them and the berserkers I just talked about? Yes, yes, they are brave, disciplined, well-armed and loyal to you in battle, but it seems to me that these soldiers still lack one thing, the same character that can even determine victory or defeat on the battlefield, and that is blood! ”

"A person's personality can largely determine the style of an army......" Finn said as Al slowly stopped

"And there are certain characteristics in your character, Your Highness...... Of course, we can all understand and appreciate your good intentions, and I know that since Reinhardt's accidental death, you have done almost everything you can to avoid another huge casualty, and for this reason you have increased the size and training of your army, and you have spared no expense to equip these infantry at the lowest level with almost the best armor and weapons, which makes all of us, including us, feel extremely gratified. No one wants their master to be an absolutely cold-blooded and brutal person"

"So ......"

Knowing what the two were trying to say, Leo stood up with a little realization, and he slowly spoke with his hands behind his back facing the depths of the dense jungle

"So, this attitude has caused me to go from the very beginning of reluctance to now dare and unwilling to let the soldiers face a brutal and bloody frontal battle, right? My dear friends...... Under this latent thought in my heart, since White Moon City, every time we fight, we are using all the advantages we can use to consume the enemy to gain an advantage, but ...... But I don't think there's anything wrong with that, could it be that these soldiers will leave me on a disadvantaged battlefield? ”

"They won't, Your Highness, they definitely won't, but if one day we face an even more terrible, more fearless and brutal enemy, these soldiers who have been under your care may suffer greater losses than all these years combined, because even if they have the determination to fight to the death, they do not have the spirit to match it......"

Taking Finn's words, Al continued

"This is also part of the reason why I want them to really face the enemy in the end, and fight a battle without skills and tricks, Your Highness, disadvantage is not a reason, war will not give you the opportunity to choose the enemy and the battlefield, you need to let your soldiers know that they can still win even in the face of a strong enemy, let them know that dying on the battlefield is the fate and highest honor of a soldier, this kind of bloodiness can only be formed by brutal battles, and on that day, Your Highness, Only then can you truly have a strong army that can completely dominate the mainland and suppress everything for you! ”

"Whew~"

With a long breath of turbid breath in his chest and abdomen, Leo kept changing his face, seeing this, Fein shook his head close to his ear, and the next sentence he whispered completely made Leo firm in his faith

"My lord, perhaps for the supreme being who brought us here, this is just a joke in his spare time, but for you and those of us who follow you are not the same, there will be sacrifices here, there will be countless passionate and painful memories, here...... It's not a game! ”

This small-scale conversation was unknown to no one except the three of them, and even El and Finn could not see anything from the silent Leo's faces, and after resting here for two days and recovering slightly, the Duchy of Pande, a relatively large army, once again under the personal leadership of Leo, moved forward along the predetermined route......

No one knows what kind of touch and change this day has had in Leo's heart, and similarly, this army, which has been reduced to more than 40,000 to less than 50,000 people, is also unclear what kind of choices and changes they will face in the future, and ...... What a terrible enemy they will face in the end......

**********************

The once quiet and peaceful environment in the Baronial Castle is now full of cold and terrifying atmosphere and ...... ** unpleasant smell, the soldiers from other continents who occupied this Baronial Castle, except for the room left for the Black Knight and the castle hall, have almost turned the rest of the rooms into places for their lewd pleasures, and the smell of a large amount of pungent alcohol and bodily fluids is mixed together, which is disgusting and disgusting!

"Bang dang!"

Hahn, who had been promoted to an officer because of his continuous meritorious service, unceremoniously kicked open the door with his hand on the pitch-black mace that never left his waist, and the fierce heat wave and the smell of alcohol made him almost stumble, and he covered his mouth and nose in disgust and looked into the room, perhaps in the room that used to be a servant's room, a naked and ugly man was lying on a mass of white flesh and shaking his waist and hips

On the only square table, the wine bottles that were dumped everywhere were scattered everywhere, four or five soldiers in black armor were staggering and talking inexplicably drunk, and the only one who was still awake was excitedly pouring wine bottles on the others one by one......

Hearing movement in a daze, the man casually threw away the bottle and saluted Hahn with a crooked grin, and said vaguely

"Hah...... Hahan-sama, you're here...... Wait until the old Bahrain is done...... We'll find you another fresh chick...... Girl...... Come and serve, burp ~ the wine here...... The wine is really good...... Hiccup"

The foul smell almost turned Hahn's throat, and he covered his forehead weakly, Hahn believed that there was no need for regular soldiers now, only a small team of farmers with tattered weapons was needed to kill all of them in a short time, and such things happened everywhere in the castle, but the Black Knight seemed to turn a blind eye to these, could it be that a simple victory needed to be vented like this, how many of these soldiers who were blinded by women's wealth and wine, and how many of them had the idea of conquering the continent?

Unable to accuse the Black Knight, Hahn could only correct the soldiers as much as he could, and let out a long sigh, he shook his black cloak backwards vigorously, and was about to step in to teach these fools a memorable lesson, when a cold breath came from behind him......

This breath was so cold and substantial, that it made Hahn's eyes dizzy, as if he had fallen into the dark swamp around him, and his teeth couldn't help but tremble desperately, and before he could ask, a faint cold voice had already come from behind

"Is this the soldier we are going to use to conquer the continent? Hum! A bunch of nasty and disgusting maggots......"

Before the mysterious words could be spoken, Hahn felt his body rise into the air, but the square table full of wine bottles and miscellaneous items in front of him was getting closer and closer in his vision......
