Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info's simple smile has a strange effect in certain circumstances, and in the end, Leo seems to realize that his previous words have brought frustration to others, which is certainly not the result he wants to see, and the result of going too far may make him give up the original intention of thinking carefully, and eventually turn into self-defeating despair

Raising his head, trying to show his face in the light of the fire, his handsome and angular face put on a reassuring smile, and waved his hand lightly at Keith, who seemed to be a little anxious to say something, and his tone became slightly seductive and soft

"Friends, don't let your frustration get in the way of making the right decisions and thinking, yes, the enemy we are about to face is indeed very strong, but it is by no means too strong to be invincible, and never flinching in the face of challenges is the instinct that flows in the blood of human beings to survive so far, and in my opinion, we also have an incomparable advantage"

"Advantage...... I'm sorry Your Highness, after hearing what you said before, now I don't understand what advantage we have, this is not a thousand years ago, now most people have been blinded by the luxurious and superior life, even a high-ranking duke is in front of the power of the demon of another continent, this is something that was unimaginable before, of course, thank you Lady Trinas, you really make us grateful for this news!! ”

Pointing to the countess next to him with a cloudy face, Aeoris did not suppress it to some extent, and spoke in an obvious mocking tone

Ignoring the Templar Grand Master's almost childlike venting, he smiled and nodded slightly in agreement

"You're right, but it's not in conflict with what I'm saying, first of all, in terms of numbers, the demon race is indeed powerful, but the scarcity of numbers makes them have to rely on a large number of degenerate humans every time they invade, so every time they kill a real demon, it will actually weaken their strength, as for the specific number, from what I know, they have never exceeded a thousand"

"As for the self-depraved human race...... Aeolith, Kane, I think that both the Cult of the High God and the Cult of the Holy Light may be called experts in this regard, in addition to deliberate religious persecution, perhaps the cruelty of the stake will make many people who are not strong-willed become awe-inspiring......"

Seeing Kane's reserved smile and Ioris's cruel grin, Leo nodded with satisfaction, joking, in the face of such a human being who may increase the strength of the enemy, what is needed now must not be mercy and false mercy, only blood and death can make more people think more before making a decision

"In addition, I think one of the advantages that has always existed is that this is our home field, we are more familiar with the population, materials, and geography than our opponents, and the vast area gives us more room to maneuver, and the population allows us to replenish troops on the spot more easily......"

"Even as cannon fodder? Hmph......"

Without looking at the countess from which the sarcastic voice came from, Leo said to himself

"Yes, cannon fodder! Don't doubt that if a thousand lives of the so-called cannon fodder in your mouth can consume a few real demons, I will not hesitate to do so, because the implication behind them is that their sacrifice will protect the lives of many more people, including women and children like you, as well as nobles, ladies! ”

After a few brief words, Leo turned his gaze to Saru

"Although I used to be an enemy, I still regret that I was in Rolf...... His Majesty is the best candidate, and his ruthlessness, decisiveness, and skill will allow him to do whatever he wants without scruples, but for now I can only hope that you, Your Excellency the Grand Master of the Knights of Glory, will cooperate with Aeoris and the Pope, as well as with all the nobles who are still loyal to humanity and loyal to the Empire, and have a resolute attitude, to completely control the Imperial Capital in the shortest possible time, and then whatever you want to do or issue orders in whatever name you want, you must put the armament in the most important position, new soldiers, new knights, Weapons, armor, supplies, food and water, all have to be prepared in enough portions to be distributed in enough locations, and any internal friction must be completely stopped, although I don't think that simple killing is the best way to solve the problem, but at least for now, it will be more effective! ”

Raising his eyebrows, Saru looked at Leo as if he didn't know him, and only then snorted softly before he spoke

"If it weren't for Fain and the others, I would have even thought that you had been secretly replaced with His Soul Highness, this is not the Leo I know, what if...... I mean, if you had been able to make the decision you have two years ago, it might have been much more difficult for Your Majesty to take control of the empire in the first place, but I will do it, no matter how different the disputes and existential ideas are, after all, we belong to the same human race, and the savings of the empire over the years and the wealth of those great nobles are enough for us to rebuild a large army in a short period of time, an army of unprecedented scale! ”

"Good!"

After a few words of explanation, Leo didn't talk nonsense, he knew that these people in front of him didn't need to say too much and knew what they should do, so he clapped his hands and drew attention again

"Okay gentlemen, the previous decision is still the same, I must return to Stormwind City, where I will echo the imperial capital, according to normal speaking, in half a year or even a year, we will face at most the vanguard of the demons similar to today, and the invasion of their own clan will not be too hasty, this will give us some time to prepare as fully as possible, and before I lead my army back here again, I hope that no matter what happens, you will try to hold the imperial capital and try to hold as many cities as possible, everyone...... Try to live as long as you can......"

With that, Leo slowly stretched out his clenched right fist

"So that's it? In the name of humanity, now we are not enemies"

Almost gone, from the warm campfire, all the people gathered around the circle after a brief silence also stretched out their arms, a metallic reflection refracted an intoxicating light, and finally, when everyone's fists slammed together, the night sky resounded only with the same unyielding roar

"In the name of humanity!"

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

The crowd gradually dispersed, and with a definite goal, each knight was busy, and the status and respect they had gained on a daily basis made all of them need to do more than civilians in the face of difficulties

Taking the reins from Finn's own hand, Leo gently stroked Keely's slender neck, turned over and jumped onto the unicorn's back, sighed slightly, and looked back as if he could see through the darkness to the ancient walls of the imperial capital that stood for thousands of years, and he knew that not long ago he had missed the best and easiest opportunity to ingest supreme power......

In the darkness, the faces of those who did not leave Fein were blurred, and the words that came out of his mouth were low and inaudible

"Do you regret it, sir?"

Slapping the saddle hard and turning his head to look straight ahead, Leo grinned

"No, my friend, it's mine whenever it should belong, it's there, waiting for me to come back again......"

Without waiting for Fein to answer, the white unicorn under his heel flew on all fours in a cheerful hiss, and galloped towards the north first, looking at Leo's distant back and the laughter remaining in the air, Keith, who had just walked over with his mount, was a little confused, and asked inexplicably

"Are you confused by your decision?"

"The only one who can make the adults like that is Keith, haha, let's go, let's go home!"

With a rare joke, Finn punched his friend in the chest, laughed at Case's stunned expression, and chased in Leo's direction......

Not far behind, the countess shouted at the top of her voice with a helpless Paul

"Take me and leave a homeless noble lady here alone is definitely not a gentleman's behavior......"
