Chapter 1188 (2/2)
Should it be unexpected or reasonable? Whenever I think I know his ambition and ideas, this guy will always give me new surprises.
Wizard consultant, imperial Viscount, Lord of Byrne... Later, he assisted Boye, destroyed the centaurs, suppressed the dwarves and suppressed Arles, just like the southern overlord of the Empire, competing with the sky palace.
But I can feel that he doesn't care about this; In other words, every goal is only for a certain purpose, which can not be called ”ambition”.
The wizard consultant is to avoid the harassment of the night watchman to himself and the people around him;
The imperial Viscount gave him the opportunity to fight for the right to speak for the wizard group in the imperial capital;
Lord Byrne is to protect his beloved Charlotte.
It's amazing. I've been with him for so many years, but in fact... Loren Turin, I still know nothing about him.
But one thing I know very well, Loren Turin... Is my friend.
He is the first friend who can understand me, trust me, and still won't abandon me after being used by me; I hurt him, hurt him, and almost killed him more than once, but he ignored the past.
Yes, I know he actually used me more than once, cheated me, and even threatened me openly and secretly, but... What does that matter?
We are friends. We know where our bottom line is.
He won't embarrass me, and I won't embarrass him too much.
I know that Peter FASA has always been alive. I even know that he is now in the barracks, protected by Byrne's men and my night watchman leader.
But it doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't appear in front of me, I can accept it; And when I really can't help but want to kill him, Loren... He also knows how to stop me so that I can never find that person.
That's enough.
Seeing my father and brother die, I know very well that the so-called emperor is not the one who really controls everything; What's more, even if you really have the world, what can you do with endless money and exclusive power? Life can't bring it, death can't bring it, as for eternal life
To put it bluntly, I think it's more like a curse.
I once had such an opportunity to meet myself when I was young, so I understand... My world is not those systems, power and money, but people.
When the last person who impressed you when you remember leaves you, your world will die.
When the people I love, hate, close relatives and distant people... When they all die, my world dies.
Loren, phillanai, the heavenly palace... The imperial capital, there is my whole world. If they are destroyed, my world will be destroyed.
I want to protect my world.
I want to fight for the people I love, hate, hate, like, want, exclude, destroy and protect... I want to fight for them.
As an emperor, if I want to do so, I have to pay a corresponding price - I not only give those who are about to die for me a reason to die, but also meet some of their ideas.
These ideas can be real... Money, land, status and privileges, or some virtual... Title, honor, or some desire.
Only in this way can they fight and die contentedly; It's important to them and to me.
So you see, I need to save my friends, so I need to meet the ideas of those people.
What they want most now is not money, title and land, but you.
More precisely, it should be the head of rodriya Azores, the last Azores elf, the heir of the eagle queen.
Seeing your head fall to the ground, your corpses separate and roll in the muddy pool of blood can boost their morale.
To be fair, there is no personal hatred between you and me, and I didn't intend to embarrass you; In fact... I still want to make friends with you. After all, it's a rare opportunity to meet guys with similar personalities.
But I have no choice, so I can only say I'm sorry.
Can you hear me? I'm apologizing to you. You shouldn't be completely deaf, right?
Uh, can't you hear me? Then look with your eyes. I know you're not blind yet.
Come on, open your eyes, look here, look clearly. What's this?
Ah... Can't even see?
……”
With a little disappointment, Brandon withdrew his hand into the cage and sighed.
”Your Majesty.”
Edward, with no expression on his face, whispered and appeared behind him.
”Are you ready?”
Brandon didn't look back.
”The first group has set out on the third day after Loren left, and the second group has been assembled and ready to go at any time.”
”How many?”
”Two thousand people.”
”A little less?”
”Considering the goal and significance of this war, as well as the battle losses of various legions, this number is enough, and more is meaningless.”
”That's right.”
Brandon, who had thought about it carefully, shrugged and recognized the decision.
”So when do you start? Are everything ready?”
”Everything has been arranged. The affairs in the military camp are entrusted to the Duke of elmond and the Archduke, while Bain has the Countess of red blood castle. The imperial affairs are entrusted to the royal family and several former royal cabinets for the time being...”
”There are people from the heavenly palace in the camp?”
”Well... There are Leopold metterne, the former seal minister, and the church judge, as well as Lina de saleon, the royal family's next of kin - you know, the late military minister Severin de saleon was her guardian, so...”
”Her husband is Isaac. I know who she is.” Brandon waved his hand lazily and sighed: ”well... Lina desallion and sister-in-law philrone, ha ha... If I die in the imperial capital, there will be another queen in the Empire.”
”Your majesty!”
”I'm kidding.” Brandon shrugged and glanced at the fussy Edward. ”Let's go. It's time to go.”
”Oh, take him with you and call me when executing, even if...” as he walked out, Brandon pointed to the elf prince who had fainted behind him:
”Even if I say goodbye to the past!”
