Chapter 439 Chapter 437 Armistice

The western border of the Empire.

Leo, who commands the Royal Army, received a message from the Imperial Capital.

"Ceasefire?

"Yes, it is a decision of the Council of the Wise Kings, so please withdraw your troops on the front lines immediately."

"What if the Royal Army doesn't respond?

"The Adventurer Alliance will strike with all its might."

Listening to the message, Leo nodded several times.

And I said a word.

Roger that.

Leo lowers the message as it is.

And then...

"- What do you think?Leticia "

"How does the kingdom get out?Leo "

Leticia, who was waiting in the next room, asked as she approached Leo, who was sitting in the chair.

In response, Leticia answered calmly.

"I don't think His Royal Highness Prince Wang will go against the decision of the Sage Kings' Council, no matter how tough he is.It will turn the entire continent into enemies. "

"Normally, yes, but the kingdom's attitude wasn't normal.Even though the clan and the United Kingdom, which were allies, left the front, they did not agree with the peace.And even though we destroyed the front lines, we still had plenty of room and stamina.Where does that confidence come from? "

"Maybe he thought he could handle the Empire."

"What a surprise that SS Adventurers will intervene?

"Probably"

While listening to Leo, Leo thinks with his arms.

A trump card enough to think the Empire opponent can handle it.What the hell is that?

I couldn't get a bad feeling out of it, and Leo felt anxious.

Leticia put her hand on Leo's shoulder.

"I understand your anxiety.But I don't think we have to follow instructions now. "

"... that's also true.Lower the troops on the front lines.When that's over, they'll call us back to the Imperial Capital. "

Leo lays his hand on Leticia's shoulder.

Leo, who was tasked with dealing with the north, was far from Leticia.

It's finally on the western front, where we can stay with Leticia, but things have changed again.

"I can't help it... because we're at war."

"I was going to finish it right away... sorry."

"It's not for you to apologize.You have properly brought the civil unrest in the north to an end.That's enough for me. "

I'm not good enough.

"Even so... there are still more rebels from the Kingdom.I have to stay here to bring them together..... "

"I hate it now that we're in each other's positions."

Leo sighs deeply and pulls Leticia's hand over her shoulder.

Balanced Leticia screams small and falls to Leo.

Leo took over the reticule and placed it on Leo's lap.

"Well, what's the matter...?

"If you're going to the Imperial Capital, I'd like to take you home."

"Don't say impossible....."

"I'm sad, I'm..."

Leo also held Leticia tightly as he exhaled.

Time flows for a while.

Leo murmured with astonishment.

"I can't say that it's good to be selfish.

"A little wish."

"So, if I say I miss you, will you stay?

"Are you lonely!? Then of course!I'll write my father a letter saying I miss Leticia, so I'll stay. "

"Don't be so embarrassed!I knew it! Go to the Imperial Capital!

"I don't know...."

"I don't know if it's safe to say... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shouldn't give up.I'm sure the Empire and Kingdom will fight again.This truce must have been quiet before the storm. "

"... when will it be over?"

Leo groans.

The battle was on the other hand intense.

When I jumped into a struggle over the empire, I was ready.However, the battle has gradually grown, and now it has developed into a war between the great Powers.

When will it end? When can it be finished?

The invisible battle exhausted Leo.

"Someday it will be over. War cannot be cut off from humanity.Mankind has always fought.But there is no eternal war.So one day it's over. "

"Someday it'll be over... the sooner the better"

"Leo can do it."

"I think you can say that."

Leo smiles as he says.

So the story ends, and Leticia tries to get off Leo, but Leo doesn't let go.

"Why are you trying to get off?

"It's embarrassing! Let go of me!What if someone sees you!?

"Can I see it?"

"Aren't you ashamed!?

"I don't think so.The Knights aren't coming in carefree either.Captain Lambert. "

Leo asks Lamberto, the captain of the Sixth Knight Guard who won the battle in the north and followed him to the west.

Then I heard a voice from behind the door.

"Of course. I will not disturb your pleasure."

It was a faintly mixed laugh.

When I heard the voice, Leticia's face became cool and red.

Looking forward to Leo's reaction, Leo gave instructions.

"Give the outpost an evacuation order.I can't move. "

Yes, sir.

"Now we have time.Shall we stay a little longer?

With a smile, Leo was able to focus on embracing Leticia.

"Retreat your troops on the front lines.The Empire is retreating. "

After giving his men short instructions, Lucian, the prince of the kingdom of Perran, was in his room.

The study of the Kingdom by the Council of the Wise Kings was unexpected.

I have to change my plan.

"SS class adventurers are coming in.Don't expect my help.

Of course it is.Rest assured, Your Highness. "

Lucian nods at the voice coming back from the wall.

There is a limit to what can be done.

The best of them was not to move.

"I'll take care of everything. It's still too soon for SS Adventurers.Ready? "

I understand.

The voice from the wall came from the shadows.

The shadow was human at first, but eventually he changed into a bird shadow and left the room.

Drop it off and Lucian exhales.

And then...

"I'll leave the match with you.Ardler "

He murmured as he looked at the direction of the Empire.
