Chapter 269 Hometown

[Oh my God! I didn't expect Wavelin to be so powerful!] 857 exclaimed.

Lu Yi smiled silently and said, "For someone who can use the knight's greatsword to such an extent, there is no doubt that he has the great character that a knight should have."

As he had expected, the fire had been started by Wavelin.

Although Katifan was thousands of miles away, Lu Yi had the cheating artifact 857, which broadcast Katifan's current scene in real time, accompanied by passionate commentary.

On the invisible screen that only Lu Yi could see, Wavelin, dressed in plain clothes, stood on the city wall of Katifan and said something loudly, while the residents of the city below the wall looked angry.

This seemed to be the first time Lu Yi saw him dressed like this after returning to the main perspective. In every previous scene, Wavelin was wearing the cold and hard armor of the Church.

Has his chivalrous devotion to the Church wavered?

Wavelin on the screen was still shouting something fiercely, his expression becoming more and more excited.

The soldiers around him all looked torn, wanting to stop him but not daring to do so - after all, everyone knew that this captain of the Knights of Judgment was a new upstart in the Church and a very popular figure.

Lu Yi propped up his chin and sighed: [“Alas——there is sound when watching the melodramatic drama, why is there no sound when the live broadcast is broadcast? What did you upgrade?”]

[“By the way, what about the compensation you went for? How did the negotiation go?”]

857 was immediately strangled by the throat and said awkwardly: [It's still stuck in the backend OA, I'll go and urge it later! ]

[A melodrama is a melodrama, and a live broadcast is a live broadcast. The value of the two is completely different! This is already considered cheating! ]

857 spoke louder and louder, as if this would give him more confidence.

But Lu Yi's casual sidelong glance made it deflate instantly, and it changed from a small ball of flying fur to a trembling and wilted ball of smooth fur.

At this glance, 857 couldn't help but take a closer look, and then his hair started to tremble wildly.

857 said sympathetically: [Brother Suzi, I feel that you have changed a lot in just this short time of upgrading the system... From now on, can I call you Brother Master? ]

Lu Yi hadn't heard such a name for a long time. He paused for a moment and was a little amused. He said: "Okay, Xiao Ba, quickly tell me what Wavelin is talking about."

【Chirp! 】

[Waverlin just finished explaining the contents of the newspaper. Now he is questioning whether Kaka wants to destroy the Church...]

【……】

[He said: "My dear friend Lante dedicated his whole life, everything he had, including his life, to the Holy See. He once fought against the plague and saved tens of thousands of believers of light. The coronation of Luo Saiqiao was his highest honor, and the final battle against the evil god was his call to return to heaven. I was proud of his sacrifice, even if it was sad, it was also glorious."]

[He said: "But all this has become a complete joke under the careful planning of the so-called Merciful Pope."]

[He said: "I just want an answer, Callisto."]

[“Did you know about the plague in advance? Have you been secretly colluding with the evil god? Was it you who caused Lant’s death?”]

[“Did you steal the authority of our Lord, the God of Light, while He was asleep? Even today, you are trying to lead the entire Church to destruction?!!”]

[Hiss——] 857 stretched out his two bare hands to cover his little polka-dot eyes.

[I respect him as a man, but he dares to say that. Is he going to die? I don't even dare to watch him if he dares to say that!]

[“Nothing will happen. I sent mages to meet him along the way, and Wavelin has various high-level magic tools that I prepared in advance.”]

Lu Yi's expression was solemn, and his words seemed to be a response to 857's exclamation, but also like he was comforting himself.

[“…At least survive——if Callisto doesn’t take action.”]

[Yes, Waverin has been talking about this for so long, but Callisto hasn't appeared yet. I have said almost everything I need to say. If Callisto shows up, all the rapeseed flowers will be gone! ]

[“He won’t come out. He has no other choice but to deny it.”] Lu Yi said firmly.

[“The materials in Wavelin’s hands are extremely detailed. If any of them are involved, even just a little bit, the image that Callisto has carefully created will be completely destroyed.”]

[“Although the flawless image of the Pope has begun to collapse, there are still more fanatical followers and believers in him than I expected.”]

Lu Yi raised his other hand, holding his chin with both hands, and said weakly: [“I can’t stand it anymore. Is he sick? Why does he want to be a god so much? Isn’t it good for him to be the Pope who is above all others?”]

857 immediately became alert and asked: [What do you mean? Don’t you want to become a god? ]

[“Why do you think so?”] Lu Yi asked in surprise, [“Am I the kind of person who gives up halfway through a game, giving up even though he is only one step away from completing it?”]

[That won’t happen.] 857 had personally experienced Lu Yi’s stubbornness, and heaved a sigh of relief.

【Speaking of which, what about Alice?】857 asked.

Although it was a little afraid of Ares, he had been staying by Lu Yi's side these days, and it felt a little uncomfortable not seeing him for a while.

It took Lu Yi two seconds to realize that Alice was referring to Ares. [“He went to meet Wavelin.”]

857 widened his eyes, [You asked him to answer it? ? ]

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows and said confidently: ["What else? Is there any problem? It is not convenient for me to leave the royal city. Who else is stronger and more suitable than him?"]

857 said with a click of the tongue: [No problem, I will choose a longer drama to watch in the small dark room tonight...]

-

In the afternoon, Lu Yi received a text message from Ares.

He had picked up Waverin as scheduled, but because Waverin was injured, the return journey might be delayed. He was expected to arrive in the royal city tomorrow.

Lu Yi stared at the word "injured" and pondered for a while. He estimated that the injury should not be light. It could affect Ares's ability to lead him on the journey. He was afraid that he could only be barely described as being in a state of not dying.

But no matter what, this text message made Lu Yi feel a lot more at ease.

His schedule for the afternoon is in the suburbs.

The upcoming winter makes the storage of supplies a top priority. Whether it is the army that is temporarily dormant or the new Victory Empire's growing permanent population, they all need sufficient supplies to survive this cold winter.

After he ascended the throne, the successive decrees brought a new atmosphere to this heavy and huge empire. The secondary coordination of agriculture and commerce meant that the economy not only did not shrink during the war, but instead grew at an unreasonable rate.

The newly victorious people had no idea how their King came up with all these fantastic ideas and miraculous decrees that seemed to come from God, nor did they know how all those grain varieties with astonishing yields were produced.

They only knew that in this turbulent period, the New Victory Empire made them feel the so-called "happiness".

Those who initially doubted the new king disappeared, and the voices praising him became the loudest theme.

Although he is a royal aristocrat standing at the top of the pyramid, he has a sparkling and innocent heart.

Compared to the wealthy royal family worshipped by the people, in the eyes of more people, the new king is more like a silent but sharp sword, inserted directly in the center of the new victorious capital. His mere existence brings reliance and hope.

The words in the coronation ceremony, "Let the new victory be great and immortal," turned out to be not just empty words.

The king gave them undefeated strength and enthusiasm, and they also gave him the courage and determination to defend his country to the death.

So when Lu Yi stood in front of the military camp in the suburbs, he saw generals and soldiers who were more excited than each other.

There hasn't been a war recently, Lu Yi muttered to himself, why is he so excited as if he had won a great victory.

The non-commissioned officer who led him was once his subordinate when he led the army in the past.

During a river crossing battle, the ring finger and little finger of his right hand were cut off by the enemy, and the separated limbs were instantly swallowed up by the rushing river. Even though the army had a healing wizard following them, he was unable to recover his lost fingers.

The sergeant had obviously gotten used to the disability of his right hand, and did not deliberately cover or hide anything. He just followed Lu Yi happily, speaking the words he had rehearsed in advance.

Lu Yi listened attentively, nodding or asking questions from time to time.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Before leaving, the non-commissioned officer still followed closely, reluctant to leave.

Lu Yi looked back at the group of high-spirited soldiers in the camp and said with emotion: "It's really good. They are much more energetic than we were back then."

This sentence was more intimate than anything he had said that afternoon. The sergeant immediately blushed and stammered, "No..."

Lu Yi looked at him in confusion.

"——This is all because of you, Your Majesty!"

"We were once confused about the meaning and outcome of the war, but Your Majesty has given us the answer with the earth-shaking changes in the empire. We are here to protect this beautiful home... It is getting better and better, day by day, and no one can destroy it!"

The more excited the sergeant became, the more incoherent his speech became.

"You have led the New Victory Empire to greatness, and our home is getting better and better. No one will fall behind and no one will be left behind!"

As if he was angry at his own poor speaking skills, the sergeant simply expressed himself through actions.

He clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on his chest, above his heart, and gave a very standard military salute.

His eyes were extremely fiery, and his tightly clenched fists were even trembling slightly due to excessive excitement.

It was a whole new kind of faith and fanaticism.

"Don't be afraid of life or death, and be loyal until death!"

the sergeant shouted.

Lu Yi chuckled, stretched out his hand to straighten his military cap which was slightly tilted due to his excitement, and said softly: "I believe in you, I believe in you, because we have the same dream."

New victory for our beautiful hometown.

He would never allow anyone to sabotage it.
