Leon once imagined what it would be like and what kind of mood he would feel when he saw Uncle Woods again
Maybe he led the loyal and brave knights all the way into the magnificent palace hall, publicly announced his charge of rebellion, and then chopped off his head with a sword
Perhaps in the luxurious king's bedroom, I appeared in front of the sleepy man like a ghost, blocked the sound with magic, and slowly cut him into pieces with one knife to repay myself, my relatives, friends, and those innocent victims. Their hatred
Perhaps during a royal hunting activity, he lurked in a bush in the wild, suddenly rushed out when he was passing by, killed him with a sword, and then died amidst the panicked shouts of the guards and soldiers. go
Perhaps at a certain celebration, he roared in with the wings of fighting spirit and blasted the eagle-wing sword directly towards the ground. The eagle wings swept across the earth, blasting him and his lackeys to ashes, and he Then he didn't stop, as if he just wiped off a little dust on the sword
…
There are various imaginations, which naturally include seeing His Majesty the King fleeing in panic on a battlefield where the army was defeated, sneering and angrily scolding his cowardice, and then beheading him.
However, everything is just imagination.
"I thought that when I saw you again, I would be so angry that I would go crazy, or laugh and cry at the same time..." He said calmly, "It turns out it's not that exaggerated. The claims in the story are all lies. "
Although he was so calm, the aura of the legendary peak had been completely exuded. Even on the battlefield where legends gathered and gods descended, he was quite conspicuous.
This proves that his heart is not as calm as it looks on the outside. He is now like an active volcano that has not yet erupted. At first glance, it seems to be just an ordinary mountain, but in fact, violent power is surging inside his body. , it will break out at any time.
Both the knight god and the orc gods noticed this sudden momentum. But they are very busy now and can't spare any time to take care of things here.
Perhaps this person would be detrimental to the king of the Eagle Kingdom, but until now, the key to determining the outcome of this war is the battle between gods. Whether the mortal king is alive or dead is irrelevant.
Whether Woods is alive or dead, these are trivial matters and not worthy of too much attention.
Leon naturally felt the gazes cast by the gods and their departure, and couldn't help but laugh again.
He smiled calmly and peacefully, as if he was watching a newly performed opera in a theater. However, in Woods' eyes, this smile was as terrifying as the judges of hell.
"You... aren't you dead?" He said solemnly, "I have confirmed your body with my own eyes!"
"This answer is within my expectation." Leon smiled and said, "I don't need to explain to you what exactly happened - with your strength and realm, even if I explain it, it will be difficult for you to understand. . In short, I am standing in front of you now, not dead."
He paused and couldn't help but laugh again: "But you are about to die."
Woods' legs trembled uncontrollably. He didn't feel that he was a coward who was afraid of death, but in front of this nephew, Leon Ego, who was clearly dead but appeared alive again, and who was even more powerful than imagined. In front of you, he couldn't help but become afraid.
This fear not only stems from his fear of death, but also the fear that he has committed a heinous crime.
Although he has been deliberately ignoring or even forgetting his crimes over the years, when Leon appeared in front of him, he couldn't help but think of that bloody night and the things he had committed. A crime worthy of hanging on the gallows several times.
Fear made him tremble violently, and it was even difficult to stand. If the guards around him hadn't rushed to support him, he might have collapsed on the ground.
"Who are you!" the guard shouted, "You rude fellow, stand down!"
Leon looked at the guard with a smile and nodded with satisfaction: "You can be considered a good man if you dare to yell at me!"
"Greetings to His Highness Leon!" Wuqi, the leader of the King's Guard and the legendary priest who believes in the patron saint, came over and bowed to Leon, "I didn't expect you to be still alive. What a joy to congratulate!"
He then said to the guards who were facing a formidable enemy: "Don't put on such a posture. His Highness Leon was known as the number one among the legends more than thirty years ago. Now his realm is so high and his strength is so strong. , even made me unable to see clearly. The comment of 'the future world's first knight' may have become a fact now. If he really wants to do something, let alone us defeated soldiers. , even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops defending, it will be of no avail."
The guard finally came to his senses and understood Leon's identity.
Over the years, even though Woods has been deliberately erasing the deeds of the previous king of the Eagle Kingdom, his children, and his subordinates, Leon's story is still too dazzling after all, and many people still know about it.
For example, when he was fourteen years old, he participated in the knight competition incognito and won the crown. At that time, there were seniors who praised him that he was destined to become the number one knight in the world, surpassing all previous generations.
Over the years, the knight competition has been held twice more. Although the scale and influence are not as good as before, this legend has always been spread among the contestants and also reached the ears of the guards.
No matter how high Woods' status is and how powerful he is, he can't do anything to the knights who come from afar to compete.
He can control other people's mouths, but he cannot control the mouths of these knights.
Many guards know about Leon's story. Most of the guards also knew about the grudge between Leon and Woods. Now that I understood his identity, not to mention those who were somewhat polarizing, even the guard who had the courage to protect the king just now was stunned, not knowing what to say or what to do. .
Want to defend the king
As His Highness Leon, as long as he ascends the throne and shouts, he is the king. And His Highness Woods naturally became a rebel, and being hanged on the gallows would be considered a minor offense.
Leon smiled, and his eyes fell on the frightened Woods' face again: "Uncle, I want to talk to you, are you interested?"
"Of course..."
After receiving a positive answer, Leon nodded with satisfaction and asked: "I have always been wondering why you want to launch a rebellion? Regardless of wisdom, force, talent or qualifications, what exactly do you have that can be a king? What exactly is it? Give you this ridiculous confidence to dare to sit in that radiant seat?"
Woods' face suddenly turned red, not because of shame, but because of anger.
"Why!" he yelled, "Because I'm not smart enough, not strong enough in martial arts, not talented enough, and not senior enough, so I can't be the king? What's the truth! I am also the son of an eagle, and I am the son of an eagle. It is also the blood of an eagle! I have also gone to the battlefield with my father! I have also gone out to govern a party! Whether it is as a general or as a lord, there is nothing I can do wrong!"
Leon recalled it and nodded in surprise.
If you think about it carefully, what Woods said makes sense. Although he is not outstanding at all, either as a general or as a lord. But after all, they were still competent and did not make any obvious mistakes.
To put it bluntly, in terms of his performance, among the kings of the current countries in the main plane, there are really few who are better than him.
"But from the grandfather's point of view, there is obviously a better heir than you, why would he choose you?" Leon thought for a while and said, "For example, you have many children now. And you are already old. When you want to pass on the throne, won’t you pass it on to the most outstanding child?”
Woods blushed: "Of course I will pass it on to the most outstanding child, but even if he is not an outstanding child, can't he want to be the king?"
"Of course it's okay if you just 'think' about it, but it's not okay to launch a rebellion just for that reason."
Woods clenched his fists. Because of his anger, he no longer cared about being afraid: "I want to be the king, but my father did not pass the throne to me. In this case, what else can I do except rebel?"
"Forget it." Leon said lightly, "Back then I wanted to be a hero riding a dragon and flying across the sky, but it turned out not to be like this..."
"Forget it?!" Woods' eyes widened and he could hardly help but jump up. "How can I forget about this kind of thing! This is my lifelong dream!"
"Leon! You are born so good, just like a god walking in the world. There is nothing you can't learn, and there is nothing you can't do. Even... for you, even the throne seems insignificant. But This does not mean that you are qualified to deny my dream!"
"I'm qualified!" Leon's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice, "If anyone else in this world has this qualification, it's me!"
He pointed at his chest: "Remember? You shot me from behind. Half of the special poison-quenched crossbow arrow penetrated my body, and the tip of the arrow even came out of my chest."
"Not to mention anything else, with this arrow alone, I am qualified to deny your despicable dream!"
His voice was fierce, and a powerful majesty emanated from him, like an angry god descending on the mortal world at this moment.
For many years, Leon, as Sui Xiong's chief priest, has been clearly feeling Sui Xiong's power and momentum, which has made him subtly infected, and even made his soul have some characteristics of a god. At this moment, when he became angry and displayed all his power, his majesty felt like that of a god, which once again made the gods who were fighting fiercely look at him.
"That momentum, that feeling..."
"Void Mask? It's his breath."
"I remembered that this human being is the chief priest of his church!"
"...I see, this guy is really far-sighted!"
"Don't worry about that, do the things in front of you first!"
The gods' eyes retreated again, and this time Leon didn't even pay attention to them.
He just looked at Woods majestically, as if looking down from the clouds on the dust at his feet.
"Woods Igor," he said, "your trial begins now!"
