Chapter 628: Divergence
The promising nephew in the eyes of Prince Grantham has instantly become synonymous with mediocrity, incompetence, soft-heartedness, weakness and deception. He glared at Leo with a look of hatred for iron and steel, and shouted incessantly: "How can those orcs believe it? Don't you know that they are the most savage, the most ferocious, and the most cunning?
His Royal Highness, who grew up on the border, did not know how many battles he had participated in to fight back against the orc invasion, nor how many relatives, friends, siblings had fallen into the hands of the orcs, but now Leo wanted to accept the allegiance of an orc, which was completely unacceptable to Prince Grantham. He would never tolerate an orc legion entering his Dawn Fortress, which, in the eyes of His Royal Highness, was simply a lure of wolves.
"Your Royal Highness, you can rest assured, with my Spartan legion, those bear orcs can't afford to make any waves, they can only eat and live if they obey my orders, so you don't need to worry about these orcs!" Although Leo knew that there would be opposition, he didn't expect that the most fierce opposition would be Prince Grantham, who had always been kind to him, so even if he was unhappy in his heart, Leo still maintained his polite attitude to explain.
"Whatever the reason, you must kill these orcs, your mission is to support the Dawning Fortress in the fight against the orcs, and now these orcs are in front of you, as a member of the Rudolph royal family, you must make your choice to kill those orcs!" Prince Grantham still commanded Leo unrelentingly.
It's a pity that the Rudolph royal family he said is nothing in Leo's eyes, and Leo has no intention of climbing the high branches, and he has accepted the allegiance of the bear clan and made a certain promise, so Leo will not regret it because of the opposition of others.
Although Leo looks very kind from the outside, he also has his own stubbornness and persistence in his heart, and such tough accusations and orders as Prince Grantham just inspired Leo's rebellious psychology in his heart.
Leo, who had always been very respectful to Prince Grantham, retorted for the first time the prince's request: "I am very sorry, my Royal Highness, I cannot agree with your words, I do not think that orcs are all evil, just as humans are not all good. If you are adamantly against it, then I will have to return to Pritz with my legion, and this time the counterattack is over anyway. ”
Leo's words of disobedience made Prince Grantham's face flush immediately, and the majestic anger continued to emanate from his body, and even the dullest person knew that the current Prince would never be provoked. His most optimistic son and nephew are so disobedient to him, His Royal Highness the Prince is really angry, what to change the crown prince, what to take over the throne, these things are impossible, Prince Grantham must not let a stubborn person who does not listen to advice to ascend to the throne of the empire.
"I'll give you one last chance, hold the sword in your hand, and lead your Spartan legion to kill those orcs, I can not blame you for your stupidity, but if you are still so obsessed, then don't blame me for turning my face and being polite!" Prince Grantham resisted his anger and issued an ultimatum to Leo.
As long as Leo can wake up in time, His Royal Highness is still willing to accept this nephew with an infinite future. Unfortunately, Leo did not accept this opportunity from Prince Grantham, he shook his head resolutely and said to the prince: "I'm very sorry, I think humans and orcs can still coexist, and I can't obey what you said. ”
At this moment, Leo really angered Prince Grantham completely, and his voice suddenly raised a scale: "It's just the opposite! Do you still have me as an uncle in your eyes, and do you still have me as the front-line commander in your eyes! I tell you, this is a military order, and you must obey it!"
Prince Grantham's sudden outburst silenced Leo for a moment, but he still shook his head firmly and expressed his opposition in a silent way. Seeing Leo's appearance, the anger in Prince Grantham's eyes burst out, and regardless of the surrounding soldiers, his right hand was wiped on his waist, and the long sword choked out of its sheath and went straight to Leo's neck.
The prince had no intention of killing Leo, but only wanted to coerce him to obey his orders so that he would not slip further and further down the wrong path, but unfortunately, although Leo did not fight back, Achilles on his side stopped the prince's blow with his long sword in time.
With a clang, the two long swords exchanged blows a few centimeters in front of Leo's neck, and after a few sparks collapsed, they were retracted. Prince Grantham missed a blow, and his face was even more unbearable, after all, he was a long-established swordsman, and he was deflated under the command of a junior, which made it difficult for Prince Grantham to accept, so the long sword in his hand withdrew slightly, and then immediately returned and handed it to Leo again.
Achilles naturally couldn't let him hurt Leo, relying on his demigod body and divine armor, Achilles completely gave up his defensive moves, and the long sword in his hand continued to stab His Royal Highness the prince like a sword, this fierce battle method suppressed His Royal Highness the prince, like this one-on-one battle, Achilles seems to have returned to the scene when he was a child and practiced swords with his younger brother. Every Greek is experienced with heads-up.
Seeing that Achilles had the upper hand, Leo called softly, causing Achilles to stop. Looking at the panting Prince Grantham, Leo suddenly bowed to him and said, "Since His Royal Highness the Prince does not allow me, then I will take my leave." ”
Leo knew in his heart that there were probably not a few humans who had Prince Grantham's thoughts, especially since this was the territory of the Holy Griffin Empire, and everyone here probably hated the orcs to the core, so it was not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it was better to leave early with the Bear Legion.
Due to the notice he received from the Iga ninja in advance, Gao Xianzhi had already prepared to leave the fortress, and he also took precautions to extract a large amount of grain and grass from the quartermaster of the fortress. When Leo offered his farewell, the Tang Legion slowly walked out of the city gate and stood side by side with the Spartan Legion, waiting for Leo to give the order to return home.
It seems that he didn't expect Leo to be so stubborn, and Prince Grantham was so inferior to Achilles for a while, so he could only watch the Tang Legion leave the castle and watch Leo and his legion leave.
