Chapter 588: The Old Man's Persistence
PS: Thank you for your helplessness!!!Thank you for your monthly pass and willing to give you a reward!
ps: Strive for two more tomorrow
Leon's words triggered a series of emotions from Luther, if Grus was a tumor attached to the trunk of a tree, then as far as he knew, there were quite a few similar tumors, which continued to absorb nutrients, but the once thriving tree of the kingdom gradually became wilting, so that today there are even some signs of withering.
To Luthor's relief, there are already some people who have realized this, and they are working hard to change this qiΔ, although it will not be obvious for a while, but there will always be some changes over time.
The most important thing is that there are young people like Leon, who symbolize the future of the country.
Luthor was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Is it possible for you to go to the royal capital recently?"
"Yes, I have plans to go to Chester," said Leon, "as soon as the remains of my family are still in the royal capital, I am going to take them back to Campbell for burial, and my maternal grandfather is also waiting for me in the royal capital, I have not seen him for a long time, and I want to take this opportunity to meet him." β
Li Ang had already mentioned this matter to Luther, so he was not surprised, nodded and said: "This is all a serious matter, and it is really not appropriate to delay it any longer, but with the situation in front of the royal capital...... Maybe some people will take the initiative to contact you at that time. β
Luthor hesitated, then looked at the others in the car, and saw that everyone else was talking passionately about the battle or the manor party. No one paid attention to his conversation with Leon, so he continued in a lower voice: "One prince and two princes, which one do you have a better impression of?"
The young man was stunned for a moment. He thought seriously for a moment and said, "I understand what you mean, but I don't think there is any need to show a special affection for anyone now, they are fighting for their rights, I do my own thing, no matter who is the next king in the future, it should not affect me." β
Luther breathed a sigh of relief. "Leon, you have indeed matured, with your identity and the position of the territory. In this chaotic situation, it is the best choice not to make any choice, bury your head in developing your own territory, and expand your strength. β
"Of course. You may be missing out on some so-called great opportunities. However, it will be relatively less troublesome, but as long as you develop Campbell, guard the border well, and prove your strength, then no one will take you lightly. β
"Besides, I have a JianyΓ¬," Luthor slowly removed the bandage from his shoulder, and the horrific sword wound below had almost healed in this time. He couldn't help but look at the girl who was grinning and whispering something to Caterina again, shook his head, and turned his gaze back. Said to Leon: "If you really decide to go to Gruss for trouble, then it is better in the name of personal vendettas, and you have to make good use of your past reputation, although I was disappointed in you at that time, but now I have to say that this is a better cover." β
Hearing Luthor mention the "unbearable" past, Leon quickly smiled apologetically at the elder, signaling that he also felt that he was too careless at the beginning, but now he has realized this and has begun to mature.
In fact, for Li Ang, admitting these things is quite a generational feeling, but since he has already fused the soul of the other party, how can he necessarily bear his one qiΔ together, not to mention that although the little nobleman in the past was a little stubborn, he was still a kind young man in essence.
Luthor laughed, slapped his hand on Leon's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "But now you make me very happy and surprised, and even so surprised that I don't know what to say." β
"Leon, you have surpassed me, and there are even broader possibilities for your age, and it may be possible to surpass your grandfather to reach a new height, so don't let down your potential, do it well, I should be stationed in the western fortress for a long time in the future, I hope to hear good news from you often." β
"Well, to be honest, I'm really reluctant to let you go," Leon looked at the other party's smiling face and said with some emotion, "It would be nice if you had the opportunity to transfer back to Campbell." β
"I'm a soldier, it's my natural duty to obey orders, and it doesn't matter where I go, I'm always guarding the borders of the kingdom," Luthor shook his head, saying, "It's already gratifying to see you before you leave." β
"Go ahead, maybe I'll come to Campbell after I leave the army, and we'll see each other again." β
"Okay!" Li Ang perked up and said, "I'll prepare in advance, and when the time comes, you will be allowed to move in directly with your bag, and you don't have to worry about anything else." β
Luthor pondered for a while before he understood the meaning of "moving in with his bag" and couldn't help laughing, "You kid...... I started looking forward to that day. β
Leon blinked, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, you can retire early, you can rest after so many years of hard work, you can bring your family to settle in Campbell, do something you like to do, and help me bring those soldiers when I have nothing to do, and I don't have to pay attention to those dirty things, wouldn't it be better?"
Luthor was silent, as if he was indeed moved by Leon's words, but after a moment he shook his head and said, "Before that time, I am not yet sixty years old, and I can still contribute to the country, so let's talk about it in a few years." β
"But your words remind me of one thing," said Luther, "I said before that I could provide you with a few instructors to help you train your soldiers, and now that I'm leaving soon, it's impossible to transfer people from Fort Mark." β
"But I have a few friends in Chester, who used to be military and are now relegated to civilian jobs, but it is said that something is not going well," Luthor sighed slightly, "If you will, I'll ask them, and someone should be willing to come and do things for you." β
"But...... These people have a heavy family burden, so can you ......?"
Speaking of this, the deputy commander, who had always been straightforward, obviously began to hesitate, and seemed to be a little speechless.
"Then I'm sorry for you," Leon answered in a timely manner, "In addition to offering a good package, their families can also move to Campbell together, and I will be more than welcome." β
"Well, that's fine with you," Luthor said in relief, his expression looking rather relieved.
Next, he told Li Ang the general situation of several friends, although these people were all junior officers, at most one of them had served as a squadron leader, but they had rich combat experience and led troops of some level.
An old man and a young man were talking quite harmoniously, and the voice of the coachman came from the front.
"Your Lord, it's almost there. β
Leon turned his head to look out of the car, and under the westerly sunlight, the manor not far away seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light, and more and more people who heard the sound of the carriage and gradually gathered on the avenue to look out, many of them began to wave their hands in this direction.
At this time, just after five o'clock, Leon and his warriors came and went, not only repelling the attack of the aborigines, but also rushing back on time. (To be continued......)
