Chapter 1291: A Parting That Never Existed
Roland meets Wendy and Tilly in the parlor.
"That's the way it is...... he recounted the news from the front, "I'm afraid we can't drag it out any longer." β
"The First Army needs the help of witches," Wendy muttered, "I'm going to inform you - after all this rest, they should be ready." β
"I'm finally waiting for you to speak," Tilly pouted, "The flight manual is still a real combat chapter to be written, and I've long wanted to go to the front line to test the idea I've been thinking about for a long time." Also, what about the special fighter plane? Don't forget to promise me, brother. β
Roland didn't play perfunctory as usual, not because he didn't want to, but because his voice seemed to be suddenly blocked in his throat.
"Your Majesty?" Wendy seemed to notice his anomaly, "Are you alright?"
Roland tried his best to calm his mood and nodded slowly, "As you all know, the Red Moon has appeared, and this will be the last war that humanity will face...... But no one knows how long it will last, maybe a year, maybe ten years, and this departure will probably not be back until the end of the war, if ......"
He found himself vaguely unable to speak.
No one could have predicted the final outcome of this battle of divine will, the last time the ashes were broken in the fertile plains, this time, how many people will survive until the end of the war? Many of the people in the League of Witches are girls in their early twenties, who should have enjoyed a carefree college life in another world, but now they are an indispensable force in the battle of fate.
This war is about the future of all mankind, everyone must go all out, as a member of the human race, there is no essential difference between witches and ordinary people, this truth is not that Roland does not understand, but feelings are not the truth after all. He has been with everyone for so many years since the establishment of the alliance, and now when he thinks that this farewell is likely to be the last time they meet, it is always difficult to give the order to go out.
"If other people see you like this, they're going to laugh out loud. Tilly grinned, "After all these years, haven't you gotten used to this position......?" I don't hate it. β
"It's rude, Your Majesty. Wendy said, standing up. By the time Roland reacted, she had already walked behind her, leaned over and hugged him.
"Doesn't that make you worry less?" she said softly, "Everyone sees everything you do, and even if you don't say a word, everyone will take the initiative to stand up - after all, you taught us that if you don't fight, you won't get anything, and there is no essential difference between winning the battle of divine will and protecting the Holy Mountain, and I'm sure the other sisters think so too." β
The warmth from behind calmed Roland, yes...... He wasn't the only one who thought so, everyone knew that this day would come sooner or later, and if they wanted to escape, they didn't have to wait until now, since the witches were all there, their intentions were already self-evident. It would be a bit hypocritical for him to say things like "I don't want to force everyone to join the war" and "If you want to stay, you can bring it up at any time".
The next thing is to go all out.
"Thank you. β
Wendy smiled and returned to her seat.
"So," he said, taking a deep breath and staring at the two of them, "the Witch Alliance and the Sky Knight Legion, when you're ready, let's go to support the front." β
"As you wish, Your Majesty. β
"Wrap it up on me, brother. β
......
News of the witch's imminent expedition to Wolfheart's heart quickly spread throughout the castle district, and it took lightning half an hour to clear the belongings he neededβa backpack for ammo and sigils, a waist pocket stuffed with seasonings and salt, and Maisie on top of her head.
According to the usual practice, the two are always the first to set off, taking on the important task of front-line reconnaissance and guiding the follow-up team. However, this time, when Lightning finds Wendy, she is left behind.
"Don't be in such a hurry," Wendy reached out and hugged Maisie, "Actually, someone asked me to see you before I left." β
"See me?" Lightning was slightly stunned, "Who? Aunt Margaery?"
"Well...... Wendy said, "you'll understand when you see it." By the way, the man is waiting for you in the courtyard right now. β
"Is it so well-informed?" Lightning shrugged, "Okay then. β
"Goo-goo!" Maisie tried to follow, but Wendy held her firmly in her arms, and could only watch as the lightning disappeared in the doorway.
"I'm sorry, you're here for a while," Wendy smiled and stroked the pigeon's head, "at this point, I think the other person would prefer to be alone with her for a while." β
......
The lightning bolt left the castle and walked down the long corridor into the courtyard, and at a glance he saw the slightly fancy back in the courtyard.
"What...... It's Mr. Sander Asuka," she muttered, "is there anything you're looking for me?"
However, when the other party turned around, the little girl suddenly froze in place.
Despite wearing the same outfit, he was clearly not what he was when he first saw him. Although I haven't seen each other for many years, the appearance of the other party still overlaps with the impression in my memory.
"Father...... Dear?" she said in disbelief.
"I'm sorry for hiding it from you. Thunder smiled bitterly, "I didn't want my daughter to follow her mother's path, so I decided to cut off contact with you for the time beingβ"
"When did you find out I was here?" interrupted Lightning in a low voice.
"You haven't been here for long. β
"Aunt Margaery told you?"
Thunder nodded.
"So you're all accomplices, and so is His Majesty Roland......"
"Don't blame them, that's what I'm asking them to doβ" Before Thunder could finish his words, he saw his daughter walking briskly towards him, one of her fists already raised.
He closed his eyes and waited quietly for Lightning's furious blow.
However, the expected pain did not occur.
After a while, Lei Ting opened his eyes in a little surprise, only to see his daughter turn her fist into a palm and gently pat him on the forehead, while a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"So you know all about my adventures to the west of the Grey Keep?"
"Uh......"
"Discover the holy city of Tachira, find the living witches of 400 years ago, go deep into the ruins of underground civilizations, and fight off the demons' advance army......" Lightning retracted his hand, "Well, it's not as good as your achievements, right?"
Thunder was stunned for a while before touching his head and laughing, "It's worthy of being my daughter, it's just that such a reunion is really gratifying and regrettable......"
"I'm glad I know, what's the matter with regret?"
"That's how fast you've grown," Thunder's tone was much more relaxed, "I thought you'd either hate me or throw yourself into my arms and cry, but it seems like I'm worried too much......"
If she hadn't experienced the Battle of Tachira, I'm afraid she would have cried out loud, Lightning thought to herself, but not now, she has grown up. She can't shed a single tear until she completes the Ashes' mandate and ends this war. "So you're afraid to reveal your identity because you're worried about being hated by me, so why did you suddenly decide to say it now?"
"Because I have decided to go north with you to fight this battle of divine will. Thunder said word by word, "Anyway, the identity will be exposed by then, so it's better to say it first." β
"Really?"
"Well, the main arena of my activities is mainly the sea and the port, which has been discussed with Your Majesty. β
"Great," Lightning grabbed Thunder's hand, "while there is still time, I will introduce you to the partners of the expedition first, and there will definitely be a chance to fight side by side!"
"Looks like you've made good friends......"
"Of course, but the strange thing is that they are all related to animals, and when I was a child, I was not very good at dealing with ordinary people?"
"Like the pigeon named Maisie?"
"Hmm...... No, it's a witch named Maisie. β
"Ahem, as far as I know, the more popular people are with animals, the easier they are to get close to each other, so don't worry about that. β
"Well, then I'm much more relieved. β
...... Father and daughter walked towards the castle, talking briskly as if they had never parted.
