Chapter 1457 (2/2)
”It seems... My reasoning is right.”
”Don't be surprised so soon, Lord Leo.”
”My reasoning is not over yet.”
”You not only let Barr escape from Orleans, but also let your 'Saint' escape from Orleans. Am I right?”
Su Cheng's words fell, and Leo's expression finally changed dramatically.
”Although I don't know if your 'Saint' is really as powerful as your rumors say.”
”But I know - your 'Saint' is a very useful tool.”
When talking about the word ”tool”, Su Cheng specially accentuated his tone.
At the same time, a meaningful smile also appeared on his face.
”The name of the 'Saint' has been known to everyone in your Lorraine empire.”
”Many Rowling people have recognized that the 'Saint' is a hero who can save this country and save them.”
”As long as the 'Saint' can escape to a safe place smoothly, and then hold high the 'Saint' flag, it will attract many men, women and children who don't want to become britannians.”
”These men, women and children attracted by the name of 'Saint' are precious resistance forces.”
”The virgin will attract the resistance, Barr will integrate the resistance, and then continue to resist our country - that's your plan, isn't it?”
Although Su Cheng asked ”right”, there was no tone in his tone that a question should have.
Because he was sure - that's what they planned.
Unwilling to surrender to the British Empire.
We intend to make use of the appeal of the ”Saint” to fight the last trapped beast.
Su Cheng silently looks at Leo who is still silent.
Then he sighed:
”Lord Leo, I admire your will and faith to fight to the end.”
”But have you ever thought about the success rate of your doing so?”
”Even if you have successfully assembled some resistance forces in the end, can your little strength deal with millions of troops in our country?”
”... as long as there is a glimmer of hope.” Leo finally spoke and said in his not very standard britannian voice, ”we won't give up.”
”... what is the reason why you insist on fighting?”
”To protect the people at home.” Leo replied without hesitation.
……
……
”... poof.”
Su Cheng was silent.
After being silent for a long time, he suddenly puffed and laughed.
Su Cheng's laughter echoed in the array.
Leo frowned and stared at Su Cheng who kept laughing.
”Captain Cheng, what's funny in what I just said?!”
Su Cheng slowly stopped his laughter.
Then he said mercilessly:
”What you just said is very funny from beginning to end.”
”Protect the people at home?”
Su Cheng cast a thought-provoking look at Leo.
”Are you too wishful thinking?”
”Have you ever thought that the people of the Lorraine Empire need your protection?”
”Your so-called 'protection' of the people -- this wishful thinking, don't you think it's ridiculous?”
