Leonardo and the two knights he brought sat silently on the bench under the newly built large porch. They hunched over, resting their elbows on their thighs, with their helmets, weapons and shields leaning against their legs. The gloomy
They looked like a group of defeated soldiers who had lost a battle, but their tightly clenched fists revealed a suppressed anger.
Polu walked out of the room: "There were 15 people in total, 6 boys and 9 girls, and 11 were rescued."
Leonardo raised his fist and hit his leg armor with a loud sound.
A knight next to him acted more obviously. He stood up, picked up his weapon and walked out the door.
Leonardo raised his head: "Kino, what are you going to do?"
"Catch up and kill that bastard." He said as he walked out, the iron gloves on his hands creaking and groaning.
Leonardo stood up and smashed his gauntlet on the ground, making a hole in the ground. He didn't wear a helmet, his beard was spread out, and the expression on his face was like an angry lion: "Do you think I don't want to go?"
Can’t go!“
"Why!" Jino also roared angrily. "Those children who are the same age as my daughter are stuffed in like animals, locked up, without food or water, and can't even use the toilet. These bastards
Humans, how could they do this! How dare they do this! Are they still human? I just want the goddess to destroy them now!"
"Calm down, don't let anger control your mind." Bolu went over and patted Jino on the back, half pushing and half pulling him back. At this time, Lia heard the movement in the yard and also left the room.
Come out and push Leonardo back on the chair.
He sighed: "This is all my fault. If I hadn't thought about it, these children wouldn't have been sent here, and they wouldn't have died."
"Do you think they won't die if they stay in Nazwa, and they can live healthy and healthy to adulthood?" Polu looked at Leonardo with sharp eyes. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh: "
I’m afraid it’s also difficult.”
"I have asked about the girls who were rescued. They are all from Esodu. They come from several different towns. Nazwa attacked the towns and plundered a large number of people. This is what happened last month."
"These barbarians! Are they crazy? They are attacked and want to attack other places."
"Yes, they are crazy, but they are calm. They are doing this to gain population. Rough and effective. Don't, don't get excited. I know what they did is undoubtedly bad. Listen to me. After they breached the town
Do you know what they did? Instead of burning, killing and looting, the entire population was driven into the fields. Craftsmen, captured soldiers, literate people, and people with talents were all screened out. From food to population, no wood was left.
After that, they almost demolished those towns to the ground. They loaded them all into trucks and transported them away. It was a calm and efficient act of madness."
"Where are the mages in Esodu? I remember, don't they have a wizard tower in every town, and they are known as the country of wizards?"
"I don't know. I just know that when the army appeared, the mage tower was shattered by something before it had time to resist."
"Oh my god, Naziva won't send the legends out, right?" Leonardo covered his face: "But the only ones who can destroy the mage tower with one blow are the legends. They are really crazy,
Sending out legends to plunder the population?”
"Because of the high efficiency. Now that I've thought about it, it may be that the losses on the Western Front can no longer be replenished, and we must push eastward to obtain more resources. Speaking of which, how many legends does Nazwa have? I wonder about such a legend
A trip to the battlefield can completely change the situation. If it is forced to be deployed in other directions, it means that there is combat power on the western front that can compete with the legend. "
"There are three sword masters in Naziva, and there are also three in Esodu, right?" Leonardo looked at Leah.
"Esodu has three legendary mages, so we can maintain a balance and force Nazwa not to take advantage of Esodu."
"But Nazwa's Legend has appeared, but Esodu's has not. It has conquered several towns and still hasn't appeared. If it wasn't for the fact that the Mage Tower didn't even spread the news, then Esodu's Legend has been contained.
Unable to show up. Is it possible that Nazwa went out with all his troops to surround and kill the legendary mage of Esodu?"
"Impossible." Leah replied decisively: "You don't know the ability of the legendary mage very well. You can defeat him and let him escape, but it is difficult to kill him. The three legends of Nazwa are all sword masters, and there is no assassination.
As a profession, you can't sneak attack on a legendary mage at all. Besides, legends are basically one-on-one and have nothing to do with each other, so we can maintain a balance."
"In this case, combined with the information I obtained before, I am thinking that something happened on the Master's island. Teacher Landau also went to the island and did not come back."
"So Nazwa belongs to the family of legendary thieves? Why is the lower limit of morality in this country so low? Aren't you afraid that the mages will come back for revenge? Are they no better at causing destruction than the sword masters?" Poru was puzzled.
"The barbarians in the mountains, what moral expectations do you have for the barbarians? Legend has it that if an all-out war begins, it will be an all-out war. Even the mages don't want to do that."
"They are so annoying, then why haven't they been hammered to death after all these years?"
"Because they really can't beat them. Many of their middle and upper class people have giant blood. Their height is, well, at least about the same as this porch. There are a few special families who are even as tall as three people. They have a huge strength advantage. In a head-on fight, it can be said that
There is no chance of winning. By the way, their legends are all giant-shaped. The strange thing is that their rulers are all half-giants who are only slightly taller than us."
Bolu looked up at the ceiling with at least two people stacked on top of each other: "Isn't this really like jumping up and launching an all-out attack on his knees?" This sense of ridiculousness made Bolu suddenly act up.
"Yes, so we have nothing to do with them, but they don't dare to come to us for trouble. Although we only have two legends, one is a knight, and the other is a ranger. If you don't want to poop and take a shower, you have to worry about arrows flying.
If they come, they won't provoke us. We can't help but the legend himself and the important people close to them, so not everyone can survive."
"They are so strong, why are they still beaten like this?"
"The giants are not necessarily afraid. Their slave army is really hard to say... Look at the treatment of these children. They probably don't even have enough to eat. They asked us to buy weapons some time ago. I'm afraid more than half of them are equipped with sticks.
Right." Leah sighed.
Seeing that the knights' attention was diverted by intelligence analysis and gradually calmed down, Bolu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was also very angry, he still did not want to be cut off from contact with Nazwa. In Bolu's heart,
The job waiting for Nazwa is to be a human shield and give him money.
"It's really surrounded by strong enemies. I finally understand why the bugs went to Nazwa first. There are so many people and they are so close." Bolu sighed. The construction speed is too slow, but there is really no way to do it in the current situation.
Speeded up.
Polu, who suddenly became anxious again, decided to go to work now.
"Then I'm going to the laboratory, Leah, are you coming?"
"What to do here?"
"Leave it to Irene, I'm relieved." Bolu turned around and said to Leonardo: "Captain, you should go back and rest quickly. Don't think too much."
"Oh, go back to duty. We can't help much here." The three knights picked up the various bits and pieces beside the chairs and stood up.
The two gradually walked away, but they didn't realize that Irene and Mr. Sweeto were standing behind the door that Polu could not see, listening to the entire conversation silently.
The corners of Irene's mouth rose uncontrollably, and her eyes narrowed. Mr. Sweeto glanced at her and said, "What are your observations of Polu?"
"According to my observation, he is very smart, very calm, and always works quietly, but lacks the consciousness of a ruler. Apart from his own plans, he rarely interferes in other things. Generally speaking, there is no
What a desire for control. He also seems to lack interest in extraordinary force."
If Boru were here, he would definitely sneer at this: "What's so easy to control with just a few villages? The bugs outside are so big, if you don't click on the technology tree quickly. With just a few knights, everyone will look like bugs after their nap."
A teething stick!"
"The observation is good and there has been progress. But the more important point is that he has never interfered in the affairs of the Knights and has shown no signs of forming his own force. Now that chaos has emerged, His Majesty is ready to expand the size of the Knights and the number of standing armies.
It is definitely not enough. There are not enough points in various towns and cities. Now we need to invest a certain amount of resources in building militia guards, and we must speed up the construction progress." Of course, Mr. Svito didn't know what Polu was thinking, but he also had the next sentence that he didn't say:
"Even if he prepares for the worst, he seems to lack the initiative to threaten the throne of Casadoria."
