Chapter 249 Guess where my train is
A war is about to break out. Lyon of Dayan may not be worried, but Lyon of the Western Elves and the Qingchi Kingdom are not at ease.
Although Snake is very strong, Leon doesn't believe that all orcs have brains.
After all, orcs can still be considered orcs, right?
But considering the performance of the Orc Empire on the battlefield...
Then I thought about the current deformed industry of the Western Elf Empire.
Lyon broke into a sweat.
Although the two countries are no longer the same as they used to be, Lyon does not want to lead two teams and then be dragged down by the two.
The bloody lessons of his previous life were before him, but in this world, Leon believed that he could win.
Guaranteed to win!
However, inspection is still necessary.
Soon, a Lyon special train departed from Sin City.
The Western Elf Empire has currently built a railway that starts from Luoye City, passes through the capital of the Forest Elf Kingdom, Nasus, passes through the Earth Elf Kingdom and finally arrives at the capital of the Elf Empire.
Queen Sif was not informed of Lyon's itinerary in advance.
Queen Sif was not informed until they got close to the East Elf Empire.
Focus on one limit!
Sif was stunned when she heard the news.
No, how can you, the leader of a country, treat this matter like a joke?
Leon: No, no, no, this is not a joke, this is a dodge...ah, surprise inspection!
Only surprise inspections can show what Lyon wants to see.
In fact, Leon even wanted to sneak in secretly, but Froststar and Cadis refused to agree.
Leon also knew that sneaking in secretly was too much of a hassle for him.
Inspection is inspection, but it is not just inspection. You have to increase the East Elf Empire’s recognition of Dayan.
Sneaking in secretly increases your sense of identity!
So Leon was tied up... and invited to board the special train. It was definitely not because of Frost Star beside him, but because he followed his inner thoughts.
By the time the Western Elf Empire reacted, Lyon had already launched a lightning strike to Nasus, the capital of the Forest Elves.
On the special train, Balian, as Lyon's guard, seemed to be thinking about something.
"Senior Barian?"
Leon looked at the dazed Balian and asked.
"It's okay. I remembered some things from the past. Although the Elf Empire is in decline now, there are still many old monsters in the Elf Empire. However, they are worried that they will lose their lifespans if they take action, so they have buried themselves.
Otherwise, why do you think Sif was able to do so smoothly? Not only because of the tacit approval of some old monsters, but also because these old monsters did not come out..."
Balian finished the tea in his hand and then said with emotion.
Listening to Balian's words, Leon was stunned.
"These old monsters are all mortal enemies of your great-grandfather. Many of them have had love-hate relationships with your great-grandfather. You must be careful. I can feel that some of them have awakened. These are thousand-year-old monsters!"
Balian teased as he looked at the dazed Leon.
Leon twitched his mouth, then spoke confidently.
"It's okay. Isn't there Senior Barian?"
"Me? Don't ask me, I don't know anything, I'm just a blacksmith!"
Balian said calmly.
Leon looked at Balian who was teasing him and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"Why do you keep emphasizing that you are a blacksmith, Senior Barian?"
Leon couldn't help but ask.
Although the books speak very highly of Balian, the guardian of the empire, the original Violet Knight, and a loyal knight.
But this epic, which should have appeared in the book, is now right before my eyes.
Instead of guessing, just ask!
Leon: I'm such a genius!
Balian was interrupted by Leon while drinking tea, and thought for a long time.
"Because I'm really just a blacksmith..."
Leon immediately became serious.
Balian looked at the scenery outside the window and spoke slowly.
“When I was eight years old, my father was killed by the nobles because he could not fulfill their weapons orders.
I took over the blacksmith shop at home when I was eight years old. I don’t know how I shouldered the heavy burden, nor do I know how an eight-year-old boy picked up the hammer...
But for the sake of my family, I worked as a blacksmith and farmed at the same time. After learning of my father's death, my mother became depressed and bedridden.
My younger sister gradually became sensible, and I thought life would get better.
The war came. At that time, humans were not as powerful as they are now. There were still hundreds of countries in Zhongzhou at that time, and the entire Zhongzhou was in chaos.
The fighting went on for who knows how many years, and war and death were the most common things in that period.
There are also giant dragons, demons, orcs... They rule most of the continent..."
At this point, Barian suddenly stopped, tears already glistening in his eyes. This was the memory he was most reluctant to mention, and it was also the darkest period for mankind.
"The orcs launched a war southwards to slaughter humans, capture them for fun, and even treat them like two-legged sheep...
My mother and sister were also taken away by the orcs in this war..."
At this point, Barian's aura suddenly surged, and the terrifying aura made the special train shake.
"But I survived. The last thing I did on the day my mother and sister were kidnapped was to forge iron! So I am a blacksmith. And when I met her for the last time, I was still forging iron..."
Listening to Balian's melancholy words, Leon also knew that no one in this world has a satisfactory life.
Regrets always run through it all.
Even Balian, who has broken through the boundaries, has a past where he is powerless.
“Later, as you learned, just as it is written in the book, Dranes and Kuneberg launched the Holy War, and that is how the Holy Empire came into being.
The imperial army had been to the snowy fields of the Far North where the orcs and demons lived, crushed the golden statues of the Papal States with their iron hooves, and seen all the scenery of the Elf Empire. The dragons were driven to the East Continent by humans, and only a small number of dragons remained in Zhongzhou. At that time, the Dwarf Empire could only kneel down and tremble in fear, praying for protection. "
Balian said this with pride, but then his expression changed and he spoke with melancholy.
"But even so, even though I have achieved success and returned home with honor, I will always be a little blacksmith, because a little blacksmith is still alone..."
Listening to Balian's words, Leon didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because Balian is definitely the protagonist, but the ending...
Looking at Leon who seemed to be hesitant to speak, Balian smiled and then spoke.
"It's okay, it's all over... What I care about now is whether you can let me see the snowfields of the Far North again?"
Leon raised his head and met Balian's eyes.
"Yes, after all, the Orc Empire has not paid the price yet..."
Before Leon finished speaking, the train began to shake violently...
