443 Chapter 441 (2/2)
”... I understand, it looks like you know a lot more than any of us,” Hector said after studying Leon for a while. ”Well, I will thank you in advance for doing what you are doing... If I survive, I hope that you will tell me more about what you know.”
After raising his death flag, Hector and the two soldiers left the place. Leon sighed, in the end, he didn't like his words... he sounded too preachy. Regardless, Leon wondered how come Hector had time to talk to him at a time like that, but soon, thousands of soldiers started to appear above the underground city. They already had done their preparations, so Hector came to see for what side Leon was going to fight.
”I guess the battle will finally being...”
Since everyone worked hard, Leon spent twenty million coins and created five containers full of mana liquid. He felt satisfied with that while he was observing the wave of dust coming from the west.
”I didn't think they would send all their troops at once, but... I guess they did it.”
It looked like the demi-minotaurs were also quite desperate, or perhaps they didn't have much time left... either way, they had come to finish the battle fast. Leon wondered if they couldn't abandon their planet and start over in another place, but perhaps being sentient creatures, they still didn't change their nature... of choosing to die fighting instead of running away to survive.
”Sylph, I want you to use your wind and pour the mana liquid over me,” Leon said. ”Efreet, you keep attacking the hippogryphs, and don't let them attack me.”
”Okay!” Sylph said.
”Hahaha, alright!” Efreet said.
Gnome, Celsius, and Undine will attack once I command,” Leon said.
”And when would that be?” Celsius asked.
”That will depend on the situation,” Leon answered. ”We will attack the demi-minotaurs after we see the humans fighting hard to survive or when we seem them getting massacred.”
Leon already tried once, playing hero didn't help him or anyone. If he tried to save every single life, the humans wouldn't feel true despair again and recover their fighting spirit. He wanted to save his planet and the human race, but he wouldn't carry every single life on his back.
