Chapter 67: That Night
The reason why the pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info miracle is called a miracle is to make amazing moves in aspects that people can't understand, human evolution still can't escape the instinct to obtain information from the senses, in the unexplainable aspect, people see, hear, and know everything that will be influenced by themselves and imperceptibly regarded as real......
If the evolution of the Punishment Knights last time made the other knights who stood at the top of the secular world let go of the heart of competition, then this time there was no evasion, and the weapon upgrade outside the palace gate made ordinary commoners and nobles feel the awe from the bottom of their hearts for the first time
Yes, the awe, perhaps for a long time, Leo's almost modern way of dealing with the world, so that many people feel that he is approachable and benevolent, and there is a little less of the emotion that should be the most important to the monarch in this era, they admire and obey, but it is difficult to be afraid
This is also why, not long after Leo's disappearance, knowing the force of Stormwind City, knowing that the four knights of Punishment, Dawn, Dawn, and Griffin were terrifying, there were still several noble leaders of the principality who had different thoughts
It has been said that in order for the majesty of a king to be secured, it must be both benevolent and severe, and that going to the extreme in either of these two aspects will lead to the collapse of a country from top to bottom......
A month on Earth, leisure time made Leo also figure out a lot of things that he didn't have time on weekdays, or he deliberately didn't want to think about, facing the danger of obliteration, facing the imminent cruel war, as a predator at the top of the food chain on this continent, Leo finally let go of some untimely insistences
Humanity needs to be closely united, rally around him, and the risk of any dispersion of forces is not an acceptable existence at this stage, so he has no concealment in Stormwind City to decisively use the system to reveal these so-called miracles, just to tell other people who are not mentally strong, if they want, he has the ability to erase any resistance and conspiracy
As for equality and freedom? Just kidding, as a superior person, he has absolutely no intention of overthrowing his privileges and then engaging in so-called democracy, and the fruits of power are like the temptation of the devil, and no one can easily give up after tasting them
As for the aspirations and lives of the people, if, after the victory of the war, in this regard, Leo would not hesitate to take back the privileges of certain nobles and give them a better life than before, of course, if they fail, there is no point in considering these now!
The display of mythical power also acts on various other aspects, because the preparation before the war is extremely tedious and intense, especially after compressing this time into a month, the preparation becomes more difficult and urgent......
And after the deeds of Leo and the Knights of Punishment spread, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner craftsman, he directly rose several steps in terms of enthusiasm for work, and no one complained about the increase in labor intensity and the decrease in rest, and no one cursed the war for shrinking their net worth
Horse-drawn carts filled with arrows, weapons, and armor poured out of the industrial area day and night, and large quantities of grain used as reserves were pulled out of the warehouse, and under the labor of women and even children, they were quickly turned into flour and jerky for easy preservation, and the nobles who served the principality but did not have fiefs for the time being, donated their wealth accumulated for generations, gold, silver, copper plates, and even all kinds of jewelry belonging to women for the war
Stormwind is like a spinning top that spins wildly, and everyone is giving all their enthusiasm this time, desperately contributing everything for the survival of humanity and for the war they should hate!
With the help of the Knights' Punishment Incident, Leo was able to bring his reputation to a historic peak, and the speed at which the value of his reputation could rise in the system's digitized interface made him a little frightened, of course, the slight irony is that the reason for all this is not because of his long-term governance, not because he gave the people a city that can keep them safe, or because of the kind changes he made for the survival of the people at the bottom......
The sudden burst of energy of theocratic worship in this era made Leo as a party a little afraid, if this power could not be used and guided by himself, maybe one day in the future it would destroy everything, just like the ignorant age on the earth back then
However, it is clear that it is completely foolish to change at this stage, and with the help of this frenzy, it is expected that the period of preparation for the expedition of a month or more will be compressed to twenty days by the boiling people
Ready to go!
********************
In the middle of the night before leaving, the flickering candlelight accompanied by the girl's outpouring seemed a little sad, Elena's slender and white arms tightly encircled Leo, like a family cat arching its head on his chest, accompanied by the undulating and towering chest, a few crystal-clear liquids slowly flowed down the white swan-like flawless neck
Can't help but sniff deeply the unique fragrance of the girl's hair, Leo gently rubbed the top of the girl's head with his chin with pity, the body that was tightly attached to it was hot and hot, making people a little intoxicated, the palm of his hand carefully slid from Elena's forehead, lowered his head, he spoke softly and comforted for a long time, which made the lover in his arms barely stop the sentimentality and sobbing of parting again
Seeing this, several of Elena's personal maids exchanged glances, and then left the room lightly, and as the light silk curtain at the door slowly fell, it added a touch of ambiguous charm to the sad atmosphere......
Neither the more nor the slightest is enough to describe the melancholy between the two lovers, since they were forced to leave the Imperial Capital, the non-stop conflicts, wars, and accidents have involved most of Leo's experience, and in every war that can almost decide the life and death of the Duchy, he has to deal with it with all his energy and time
And the price paid for this is that a young girl who has just fallen in love can only keep the empty window by herself, and her thoughts will make people become haggard and become unthinking, socializing, banquets, and even the personal company of the Duke of Lancaster cannot restore Elena's gradually diminishing smile, and the cheerful and lively girl in the once imperial capital is slowly changing
Finally, in the interval between the victory and the next war, the two of them had enough time together for the time being, and a grand and lavish engagement ball could have made up for the guilt and anxiety in Leo's heart, but as a result, the clash of civilizations of the higher levels had separated him from her again
A year's wait was almost longer for Elena than all of her life, and if it weren't for the last insistence in her heart to support her, I'm afraid that this girl would have been unable to endure the loneliness and nightmarish fear
But even if they get together again, the man in front of Elena is about to step on the battlefield again, she cries, she worries, she fears, but she has never made any objections as always, perhaps in the Duke's house, she has already understood that every real man has his own persistence and responsibility, maybe small or big
Trying to put on a smile, Elena raised her unpowdered face and whispered
"A long time ago in the imperial capital you told me a sentence, you said that women should treat the other half of them as pigeons instead of sparrows, because every day after you release it, it will return home on time in the evening, and even if you keep it closed for a lifetime, when the cage is opened, it will never return, Leo, my love, I can't stop the war, I don't understand the meaning of war, but I just hope that you can go home healthy and safe when everything is over, like the pigeon in your story, I will pray for you with my devotion and my life so that the most terrible things never happen to you......"
There was no dodge in his eyes, and Leo tightened his arms and nodded fiercely
"I swear I will, and I won't be leaving you after this time anyway......"
Time always flies when reunited, under the deliberate guidance of Leo, the smile slowly returned to Elena's face again, and after looking at the hourglass time, trying to make himself look more calm, Leo kissed Elena lightly on the forehead
"Rest early, honey, I'll try to make this end sooner......"
But this time Elena still hugged him tightly, and the girl bowed her head slightly and breathed in Leo's ear in a barely audible voice
"Stay...... My love, all I have tonight will be yours......"
In the middle of the night, red candles, curtains, and insects chirping, this night is like an eternity......
