Seeing Lucas Edwin's expression, Wellington finally stopped trying to persuade him, but just nodded silently.
Seeing this, Lucas Edwin looked at Wellington in surprise and said, "Willie, you didn't persuade me. This is not like your usual style."
Wellington looked at Lucas Edwin and suddenly laughed softly. With this laugh, the heaviness and seriousness that had been on him in the past suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Wellington no longer looked like the iron-blooded grand duke who frightened people, but just an ordinary old man.
“I won’t persuade you anymore, I know you are serious and I can’t persuade you.
If we lose this battle, I will die with you, just like I accompanied you to win the throne. If you live, you live; if you lose, you die!!!"
As Wellington spoke, there was a gleam in his eyes and a resolute expression, exactly the same as Lucas Edwin.
Lucas Edwin was startled when he saw this, but then he suddenly laughed and said, “You have finally let go of the image of the Iron-blooded Grand Duke and returned to the way you were when we were young.
This is the Willy I know. Sometimes I really don’t want to look at your expressionless face in the past... Hahaha!"
As Lucas Edwin spoke, he couldn't help laughing. At this moment, his heart was full of courage, as if he had returned to his youth.
Now he has nothing to lose except his life. If he cannot defeat the enemy even after giving his life, there is nothing to complain about.
… … … … …
The human puppet army of the Tianhun Society, led by the Saint and five elders, arrived at the agreed rendezvous point with the army of the Jinde Empire.
The remaining legions of the Jinde Empire were commanded personally by their emperor Leonard XXIII.
At this time, Leonard XXIII was standing in front of the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Soul Society with a flattering smile on his face.
"Thank you for your hard work this time, Saint Lady. I didn't expect you to go on the expedition in person."
Leonard XXIII said to the Saint with a smile.
The Saint glanced at him, without any additional reaction to his flattery, and just said: "Are your men ready?"
Leonard XXIII nodded and said, "Lady Saint, our 70,000 troops have all arrived, and this is the last bit of strength we have.
The enemy is estimated to have only about 40,000 people at most. We have three times as many people as them, so we should have no problem winning the battle."
The Saint nodded and said, "It's not just about winning the battle. We also need to collect a large amount of blood and soul power. Even if the people of your Jinde Empire die, they will all contribute their blood and soul."
Leonard XXIII nodded, the smile on his face unchanged, and said: "Your Excellency's needs are the goals of our subordinates.
As long as the statue of Lord Dahuntian can be cast, it doesn't matter even if all the people in my Jinde Empire die.
I have been in this continent long enough. I have limited talent in this life, and it is almost impossible for me to continue to improve my strength.
I agree that the entire continent has no appeal to me. What I want is the ability to continue practicing.
As long as Master Dahuntian can take me away from this world and go to a new world where I can continue to practice and improve, and prolong my life, I will not be soft-hearted even if everyone in the world is sacrificed."
As he spoke, Leonard XXIII's expression did not change at all, only his smile emanated a chill.
These words were heard by no one else except the five elders of the Tianhun Society who were standing nearby.
If what he just said was heard by the people of the Jinde Empire, I think many of them would choose to defect. After all, no one wants to be used as a sacrifice.
After listening to Leonard XXIII's words, the Saint nodded and said, "Very good, I don't really care whether you are loyal to Lord Dahuntian or not, but as long as you understand what you need, that's enough.
You want to gain the ability to continue practicing, which Dahuntian Lord can definitely grant you, so it's like a deal between us. You work for Dahuntian Lord, and we grant you more lives and higher cultivation."
After hearing the words of the saint, the smile on Leonard XXIII's face became even more intense.
Once the two groups joined together, they formed a huge square formation and began to march towards the direction of the Great Rift Valley.
The size of the coalition forces of the Tianhun Society and the Jinde Empire has reached more than 120,000 people. They are spread all over the mountains and forests, looking particularly frightening.
The huge army did not hide their might at all, and of course it was completely impossible to hide their might, and they just marched quickly towards the Great Rift Valley.
Two days passed quickly. After arriving at the outskirts of the Great Rift Valley, the coalition forces did not rush to attack, but found a place to hide in advance.
What they have to do is to try their best to maximize their power advantage and defeat the Frant Alliance in one fell swoop.
They had come a long way, so they still needed some time to prepare, such as allowing the human puppet to re-accept puppet control in the soul-moving formation.
The soul-controlling pillar can only control the actions of these human puppets in a unified manner, but if one wants to turn these people into puppets, one must use the soul-moving formation.
It is not an easy task to control 50,000 puppets. Fortunately, the Tianhun Society has already found a valley in advance and set up a huge soul-moving formation. Now it is only necessary to control 50,000 people to enter the formation.
After controlling 50,000 puppets to enter the formation and begin to receive the baptism of the soul formation, the soul-controlling pillar on the Dahuan Mountain side was ready to replace people.
The four replacements have arrived near the Soul Control Pillar, and the door on the Soul Control Pillar has been opened, and four people walked out from it.
The three Talisman God masters were already standing in front of the Soul Control Pillar with alert looks on their faces, looking in the direction of the camp. They seemed to know that the camp's defenses could not stop Ye Li, so they were all in a state of combat readiness at this time.
They didn't want Ye Li to launch a sneak attack at this critical juncture. It would be troublesome for them if he killed the four substitutes.
Although we can find four more people to operate the Soul Controlling Pillar, the operators who have not received certain training will have great differences in coordination and tacit understanding.
It is difficult for human puppets to act according to orders in a war, and various mistakes may occur, which has a great impact on combat effectiveness.
The operators of the Soul Controlling Pillars seemed to be well aware that someone would take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, so they moved quickly. After four of them came out of the Soul Controlling Pillars, they quickly walked to the side to allow four replacements to enter the Soul Controlling Pillars.
