"The greatest respect for this genius is to let him die with his eyes open."

Calvaro closed his eyes.

His voice was as cold as ice.

Chapter 60 The Two Beautiful People

The glory of the morning sun rises again.

The Night Demon army retreated from the city wall, leaving only corpses on the ground.

Eddie's hands were shaking as he held the sword. It wasn't until Luke tapped him on the shoulder that he realized he had survived the war.

Then, a strong sense of accomplishment surged into his heart.

He subconsciously raised the sword above his head: "Win... Win! We win!"

His voice was not loud, but it was enough to create huge ripples on the silent city wall.

"Won!"

"we won!"

"We held it!"

"Fuck, they are just some night demons. They are nothing!"

Shouts rang out on the city walls, and the surviving soldiers laughed heartily.

Their cheers are both a tribute to the dead and a longing for the future.

They knew that Winterhold could be defended.

Kallen, like her people, was covered in blood, and there were even two holes in her black wide-brimmed hat.

She leaned decadently and lazily on the metal shield that was transformed from the mechanical bird, wiping the air gun that had sent away countless night demons.

"Father, brother, I did it. I did not bring shame to the Tersk family. I defended Winterhold. If you can hear my voice, please bless me so that I can defend it again next time, and the next time after that."

“They will definitely hear it.”

A cup of black tea was handed to Karin. She looked up and saw Leo, who was dressed in scarlet like her.

"It's not a gentleman's thing to eavesdrop on a lady's monologue." Kallen took the tea shyly.

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm just a believer." Leo sipped his tea and looked around at the masterpiece he had planned.

I originally proposed this plan with the mentality of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to bring such obvious results.

What a desperate battle! The wisdom of the generals in his original world was truly unfathomable.

Also, this feeling of being a chess player, planning and controlling the game...

Very cool.

Kallen didn't expect Leo to answer her like this. She tidied up her messy hair and said jokingly, "Your answer doesn't sound like a believer."

"Well, I just believe in order and keep reason as my companion. It doesn't mean that I don't understand humor and wit." Leo spread his hands.

"Well, my humorous cultist, can you help a lady who has lost her strength to her feet?" Kallen laughed and extended her hand to him.

"Instead of pulling this lady up, I think it might be a better choice to accompany her and rest for a while." Leo thought about it and sat down directly next to her.

“…” Karen withdrew her hand speechlessly and sipped her tea with a little embarrassment.

The two of them leaned on the shield together.

The morning breeze still carried the biting chill of winter, and the heat of the black tea only stayed for a few minutes before being dissipated by the cold air.

Leo came to see Karin at this time, not because he had any affection for this lady.

Well, maybe that's a factor.

But more than that, he discovered that Kallen was completely different from all the believers he had met before.

The second in line to the throne in the North is someone who values ​​her people more than her own life.

If he could get along well with her, then when the war was over, he might not have to live a life of hiding anymore.

If they could obtain the protection of the Lord of the North, he and Miss Shikoti would finally find a place to stay in this world.

As for the Cult of Order...

They are just a bunch of lunatics, and at best they are a backup plan when there is nowhere else to go.

Therefore, he took this opportunity to improve his favorability.

"How is it, Mr. Humorous Cultist?" Kallen held the teacup with both hands. "How does it feel to decide the outcome of the battle?"

"..." Leo thought for a moment, then showed a bitter smile that he shouldn't have shown: "If possible, I really hope that these soldiers who were temporarily summoned don't have to come to this battlefield."

He felt that this was the answer that would best gain favor from Kallen.

As expected, Miss Karen was stunned for a moment.

She could never have guessed that a man who could come up with such a devilish tactic would express such feelings.

After all, Leo's original plan was to blow up the bridge of Winterhold...

Mr. Leo, what kind of person are you?

An absolutely rational believer? A benevolent person who has compassion for all living beings? A general who is so wise that he is almost a demon?

Or is he a devil who uses all living beings as pawns?

Which one is the real you?

After a moment of silence, Kallen lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, it's the Tersk family's fault. We have failed the people who trusted us—"

"Don't blame yourself, Miss Kallen. I am moved by your nobility." Leo interrupted her apology and said, "Rather, without you, we would not be able to defend Winterhold at all. That would be the real devastation. I am curious, aren't you afraid? This is a battlefield and you could die at any time."

"Of course I am afraid." Kallen raised her head and looked at the floor line under the setting sun. The single-frame glasses on her left eye reflected the glow, and her long red hair under the brim of her hat fluttered in the wind. "But... I don't know why, I just feel that I shouldn't leave here and shouldn't abandon them."

She sparkles.

“……”Leo nodded and said nothing more.

He did not have the same growing experience as Kallen, or rather, he simply did not know how Kallen grew up.

Of course, I can't understand why Karen would do this.

The silent atmosphere rippled between the two of them, and the charming air lingered at this moment.

In fact, the two of them had nothing in common, and Leo was not an expert in love, so he could only hold the teacup and think hard about what to talk about.

Miss Karen was the same. She was curious about this man, but didn't know what to say due to her status and face.

I had no choice but to hold the teacup and secretly glance at Leo.

"that……"

"that……"

After a while, they both said in unison.

"You speak first……"

"You speak first……"

The sudden unanimous voice made the already awkward atmosphere even more awkward.

"..." Leo was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "Ms. Karen, ladies first."

Miss Karen's face flushed red as she muttered awkwardly, "You should speak first..."

"Okay, well, Ms. Karen, I see that your clothes and appearance are all in the style of the Mechanicus. Um... have you always been there?"

"Yes..." Kallen nodded and hugged her knees: "I have been staying in Robert since I was twelve years old."

Robert is a country that believes in the Mechanicus.

"So this time... did you come back because you received a call from Duke Telsk?" Leo asked the question that had always been on his mind.

"No, I haven't seen my father this time, nor have I received any letters from him." Kallen buried her chin in her knees: "Well, I... I came here to investigate the suddenly active dragon tribe. I didn't expect that the war would break out, so I rushed here."

"Dragon clan?"

"Yes, on the north side of the territory of the Robute Kingdom, there is a mountain called Dragon Roar Peak. It is said to be the resting place of the ancient dragons."

"Of course, this has always been an unconfirmed legend."

"As for me, I am not only a believer of the Mechanicus, but also a scholar who studies dragons."

"Just three months ago, someone witnessed that the ancient dragon on Longhou Peak had awakened."

Chapter 61: Jealous and Natural

The soldiers on the walls of Winterhold began to pack up, while Leo and Kallen continued their conversation.

"Ancient Dragon?" Leo felt as if he had grasped something, but it immediately slipped away from his mind.

“Yes, the ancient dragon.” Kallen’s face flushed red. She clenched her fists and looked at the sky with longing. “It is the most beautiful creature in mythology. It has a body like rock, eyes like flames, scales like diamonds, and power that surpasses any other life form.”

There was an excitement in her voice that she couldn't conceal at all.

Obviously, this second heir to the throne in the North is not only a believer of the Mechanicus, but also an avid dragon researcher.

“Nono! Nono!” Before Leo could say anything, the shield had already changed back to the appearance of a mechanical bird, and it kept shouting: “The greatest form of life is obviously us mechanical beings! Nono!”

"Okay, okay, it's a mechanical lifeform..." Kallen chuckled and touched the stupid bird's head: "The dragon race can only be ranked second, okay, Nono?"

"Humph!" The stupid bird stood on Leo's shoulder and stretched out its wings proudly: "What do you think, Leo!"

"Praise order." Leo said expressionlessly.

"Humph, what a boring man, Nuonuo!" The mechanical bird crossed its wings and looked at Leo with contempt: "You have such a sweet smell on your body, but you believe in an inexplicable god. Stupid, too stupid!"

"..." Leo was silent for two seconds and looked at Kallen: "Do you mind changing to a mechanical bird? My sword is just missing a hilt, and I think this stupid bird's head is quite suitable."

“Hehe…” Karen covered her mouth: “I’m very happy with it.”

"..." Nono was startled, and then his expression changed immediately: "Ah, this great Knight of Order, you are right, the greatest life form in the world must be the God of Order, he is brilliant, he saves all living things, I am only on behalf of the mechanical life, I express my respect to him."

Leo: "..."

Karen: "..."

"Oh, I'm really impressed." Ignoring the silly bird, Leo continued to ask, "Ms. Karen, you just said that the ancient dragon has awakened?"

"Yes, the mechanical eye of the Robert Frontier was the first to discover the flying ancient dragon. After that, I rushed over immediately."

Kallen nodded: "Although I didn't see the real ancient dragon, I did find traces of Him."

"To the west of Dragon Roar Peak, the Crazy Mountains that originally belonged to the succubi have now been leveled and turned into a wide passage with scattered ancient dragon scales scattered on it."

Kallen recalled the memories from a few months ago, with a puzzled look on her face: "I followed those scales to track the ancient dragon, but I didn't expect to go directly to the North and return to my hometown."

"Mr. Leo also knows what happened next."

"So that's how it is. So Miss Karen coming here is really a coincidence among coincidences." Leo nodded thankfully.

It seems that Marquis Logan is really lucky.

If Kallen hadn't happened to return to Winterhold, his strategy would have completely failed.

But why do I always feel that something is not right?

There are dragons and night demons. It is obvious that the North has now reached a moment of life and death... Why is there no movement from the invincible Duke Telsk?

He had a bad feeling.

"Leo, you are here."

A cold voice brought Leo back from his thoughts, and Miss Karen, who was sipping her tea, turned her head along with him.

Miss Shikoti was walking towards him in the form of Luna. Even though she didn't say anything, Leo could still feel her anger.

"Um, Sister Luna, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be... dealing with the city defense?"

"Haha, I didn't see you among the retreating soldiers. So, I was worried that something happened to Mr. Leo, so I came to check on him."

Shi Koti emphasized the words "Mr. Leo" and said, "Why, I didn't disturb you and Miss Karen?"

Leo: "..."
