Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Blood has become the cheapest item in the battle movement, the insignificance and humility of life are vividly interpreted under the sword, and the cold weapon makes this horror even more cruel......

A young human soldier, with only simple leather armor as protective gear, blonde hair and blue eyes, covered with bloodstains, dusty and dirty face, can still vaguely see the handsomeness of the past, maybe on the earth he will become a little fresh meat infatuated by thousands of girls

And here, he could only lie numbly on the cold floor, his hoarse voice could not even let out a wail of pain, and his gradually dilating pupils stared at his arm that was no longer shapeless, smashed into flesh by heavy weapons, and there was no blood flowing out of Senbai's stubble, and the vitality was flowing away from his body at a speed visible to the naked eye......

Friendship of companions? The spirit of saving lives? In such a scorching battlefield, he was not even as good as the lowest filthy, no one could stop to read the eyes of the young warrior seeking to survive, and every human soldier who passed by him was in a hurry, and occasionally there were heavy feet directly stepping on him, and everyone was stingy to look at him more

Not far from him, a demon believer had been dead for a long time, the black chain mail had been cut horizontally in the abdomen, the blood had become a little sticky and black after being fully absorbed by the ground, and the intestines that were slightly emitting heat were dragged out of the distance, and it could be seen from the long traces that this enemy still crawled forward with instinct before losing his life

Death and blood are the catalysts that make people lose their minds and go crazy, similar scenes happen all the time on the long city walls, in the face of the brutality of the enemy, in the face of the invasion of different races, objectively speaking, these soldiers of the imperial capital burst out with more combat power than before, and even jumped off the city wall with everything in their arms in the midst of serious injuries and despair

Of course, aside from emotions, their death and sacrifice are actually not of much significance, you know, those demon believers who are now the main force of the siege are also human beings in nature, blood, appearance, and even traditions are very similar, perhaps the only difference is only in beliefs and pursuits

At the same time, the warriors of the demon clan had no intention of joining at all, they were just under the leadership of the leading legion, looking at everything in front of them with a cruel smile, no matter how many human deaths seemed to have nothing to do with them......

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

In a relatively secluded corner of the city, in the center surrounded by many knights, Saru and Aioris, the two actual controllers of the current army of the imperial capital, all looked a little gloomy at this time, and after the soldiers of several legions from the opposing camp once again rushed out to join the siege, Aioris could no longer control his emotions, he turned his head and pulled a Templar, and whispered in the other party's ear

"Tell me, our messengers, our carrier pigeons have been dispatched, but why, it's been a month, and the northern territory still has no information? Those damn bastards, do they think they can survive the fall of the imperial capital alone? ”

The Templars were momentarily speechless, and hesitated for a moment before they could barely speak

"I ...... I don't know, Your Excellency, Grand Master, since the earliest discovery of these demonic invasions, we have sent dozens of messengers in a row, and each of them is a good hand in the Knights, plus the existence of carrier pigeons, it is said that ......"

Gritting his teeth, a hint of determination flashed across the knight's face

"Supposedly Leo and they should have received our information, and if we extrapolate from the time, I think we should be able to see the vanguard of reinforcements in a month at most, unless, unless all the means are premeditated by the other party, or the northern territory has no intention at all!"

"Well, Eoris, the way you look makes people feel anxious, and I don't think His Holiness would want his best warriors to lose confidence first!"

Frowning, Saru gently broke away from the other party's right hand that grabbed the Templar, perhaps feeling the strength and persistence in his arm, Eoris snorted and didn't say anything more, or maybe he just needed a brief vent

whispered a few words to the guards beside him, and also responded to the enemy's resurgence of Saru, and after his subordinates saluted and left quickly, the Grand Master of the Glory Knights spoke again

"Aioris, emotional impatience can affect our judgment, especially in such a difficult time, I know your inner concerns and doubts, believe me, I should know Leo better than you, he will never give up on us, give up the imperial capital, under the ambition that person still maintains a high degree of sobriety and judgment, he will not make stupid decisions! Besides, even if the messengers arrived safely and received them from the north, no matter how fast they were prepared, the march on the road would take nearly two months, unless ......"

"Unless what? Saru! ”

His eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of longing and memory, and in the face of the Templar Grand Master beside him, Saru said calmly

"Unless he decides to use the army of pure knights again, as he did last time he led us!"

Stunned, his eyes widened, and Ioris, who was just about to subconsciously open his mouth to refute, suddenly understood something

"Okay Saru, you and I both know that in the face of a war of this scale, Leo will never do this again, I can understand your kindness, but you still don't know how to comfort others after knowing each other for so long, yes, I was a little out of shape just now, but I understand that distance and time are the things to worry about now, and Leo is not, but ......"

With a somewhat gloomy gaze sweeping over the black torrent of ants under the city walls, and the reinforcements rushing past amid the hysterical shouts of the officers, Aioris tightened the luxurious hilt of his sword in his hand, and shouted at Saru and the knights around him without concealing his unwillingness

"To be the most powerful knight to be unable to join the battle is the destruction of faith and the trampling of honor, and if death is inevitable, I would rather die on the back of a war horse on the way to the charge, rather than just watch, watching our soldiers shed blood and sacrifice, watching the few forces of the empire lost in attrition, and then die on the walls like a humble infantry! So, Saru, I ask your permission once again as Commander to lead the Templars in an attack, and I will personally tear apart the filthy entrails of the depraved and blasphemous in human skin! ”

In the face of Aeoris's request for battle and the fierce battle intent that burst out from the surrounding Templars in an instant, Saru, who was nearly forty years old, still shook his head without hesitation

"As before, my friend, I can't allow this request of yours, as I am responsible for guarding the lifeblood of the Empire, I will never let any mistake cause irreparable damage, even if His Majesty Nathaniel is here in person, I still can't agree with the Templars' plan to attack at this moment!"

"But ......!!"

Pointing to the battlefield where a regiment of soldiers disappears almost every quarter of an hour with heavy casualties, Eoris said angrily

"But these ordinary soldiers alone can't buy us much time, their only role is to consume, consume, consume! Believe me Saru, even without all the knights, I only need a thousand men, I can completely break up the siege array of the opposing infantry, and even if the enemy is relatively elite, regrouping and recovering will buy us at least three days, and what we need most now is time! ”

"No, but my friend, I know you must not have forgotten, you must not have forgotten that the other party also has a large number of knights, right? Look at the real demons in Leo's mouth in the distance, what are they waiting for? Isn't it waiting for some stupid person who has been forced to the extreme to take the initiative? You must know that even if Finn personally admits that the strength of those demon armies is very terrifying, what do you want to do? Running to death with a thousand knights who are most precious to us now? ”

"Damn it, Saru! I said that now I have abandoned my obsession, and I am not afraid of death......"

Looking calmly at Eoris, who was trembling with anger, Saru sighed and said in a deep voice

"I believe in you, like you, death is more like a feast and detachment for us people, but I am against any meaningless death, before the reinforcements come, before Leo comes, we have to live, we have to make the towering walls of the imperial capital like a nail nailed here, the only thing they aliens may have predicted wrong is the resilience of our human race, in their simple brains, I am afraid they don't know at all, how many wars we have experienced since the beginning of written records, and consume each other...... Let's see who can't hold on first! ”

"Reinforcements? I don't want to argue with your decision Saru, but I don't know if we'll be able to hold out until that time with just the soldiers we have......"

"No problem, the soldier is dead, the officer is dead, the commander is dead, and we still have millions of civilians, and a wooden shield and a short sword can be armed......"

Perhaps Saru himself could not have known how hideous the expression on his face was after saying this......

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

As if he had once again crossed the passage that had brought space and time to a standstill, as if a long millennium had passed, and as if for a short moment, Leo finally felt it again, as if he felt a slight discomfort, he lowered his head slightly, but as if he was looking at himself from the perspective of a third person, starting from his neck, his whole body was being presented and piled up again in that familiar way......

Yes, heaping, Leo doesn't see anything wrong with this word, anyone who sees this scene will feel like a pile of gravel being put together quickly and seriously with extreme subtlety

Since this is not a temporary crossing, in addition to the sensory discomfort, Leo did not have the fatigue when he first returned to Earth, shook his hands, the familiar touch made him quickly re-accept his body, in the golden light that has not yet dissipated, he raised his eyelids and swept the corners of his mouth to bend a heartfelt smile, because not far away, several vague but familiar figures are holding weapons and cautiously surround them

"I'm really happy to see you as soon as I get home, I'm back friends, and I'm going to lead you in the fight as always!"

Stormwind City, in the palace, Leo sitting on the throne didn't care about the image at all, grabbed a piece of roast meat sprinkled with cumin with both hands and bit it desperately, maybe it was because the crossing took away a lot of his energy or something else, and after meeting with Fain and the others for the first time, he began to eat almost crazy after just a few words

Seeing his master like this, Keith couldn't help but lick his lips and whispered to Finn beside him

"Praise the Holy Light, although I don't know what has happened to the adults these days, but when I see him eating, I suddenly feel a little hungry!"

Throwing away the last spine in his hand, Leo hesitantly looked at his shiny hands and finally picked up the silk scarf and wiped it, in fact, he still wanted to lick it......

"Case, I remember telling you a long time ago that you could lower your voice when you were talking about people in your voice or behind your back, didn't you notice that dear Anthony had secretly left your side?"

"Huh?"

Scratching his head, Keith glared at Anthony dissatisfied, and then spoke

"Actually, what I want to say is, welcome home, sir, we all miss you......"

At the same time, Finn, Anthony, Al, Pericles, Tyr, Edward, Tydamir, and all of his men bowed in unison

"Welcome home, sir!"

With a smile, Leo looked at these friends who seemed to have only been separated for a month, nodded and was just about to speak, when he heard a commotion at the gate of the palace, and at the same time that the heavy gate was pushed open from the outside, there was no time for the soldiers to be announced, and a slender figure rushed in quickly

Elena seems to be a different person than a year ago, her once smooth skin is a little dry and boring, and if you look closely at her hair, there are a few strands of white hair, and even after grooming, you can still see the sallow yellow that has been tried to hide on her face......

If Fein and the others were only worried about Leo's safety, for Elena, Leo's bizarre disappearance was nothing short of a nightmarish torment, and from the end of the chaotic engagement ball, the once beautiful girl was haggard day by day

The food can only sustain life at most, and even in the face of the Duke of Lancaster and her cousin, Elena is almost silent most of the time, no matter how everyone persuades, even if Fain and the others make the heaviest oath of knights in front of her to prove that Leo is okay, it can't make Elena feel better

Rushing to a place not far from Leo, the girl suddenly stopped, her withered hands couldn't help but cover her face, tears like crystal pearls from the somewhat dim eyes can't stop stringing down, finally, Elena who has always suffered from self-suppression can no longer suppress her emotions and cry bitterly, in this year's time, no one can really understand how difficult she is

This is a contagious emotion, Leo looked at the withered girl in front of him, the pity in his heart, the regret in his heart was like an endless wave that made him cramp, holding back the red circles under his eyes, he quickly rushed over and used all his strength to wrap Elena tightly in his arms, rubbing his chin against the other party's dull hair and whispering

"Let me swear with my life that this time even the gods will not be able to separate us again, my love......"

(The following is not included in the word count!) Due to a certain meeting, the sunset unit organized a centralized study and discussion, requiring everyone to participate and not ask for leave, so there is only one shift today, and I am very sorry for this...... ）
