Chapter 229 The King and the Knight



Die for me.

A calm and collected voice echoed in Ning Feng's mind and ears.

……What?

Seeing the stark contrast in Lai Enhart's emotions before and after, Ning Feng was momentarily bewildered.

Is something wrong?

Just moments before, Leinhardt was in a fit of rage, wanting the god to leave Karl's body in order to save his chief guard.

Therefore, he never backed down even when facing the gods.

But now, after just a few breaths, he made up his mind.

—Kill Karl completely.

To kill the god they once worshipped!

At this moment, what Leinhardt possessed was the unwavering determination to uphold this belief, even at the cost of sacrificing his closest friends and family.

It was terrifying.

To be honest, even though Ning Feng was on their side, he still felt goosebumps all over at this moment.

It wasn't out of fear of Reinhardt's indifference.

On the contrary, Ning Feng, who had a certain mental connection with Lai Enhart at this moment, was able to feel the other party's pain more clearly.

That was almost equivalent to the grief of losing a loved one; just experiencing a part of it was enough to make Ning Feng feel terrible.

Ning Feng is a confident person.

Even though he hasn't become a strong person yet, he believes that all he lacks is time.

Even when faced with all sorts of desperate situations, with Ariana supporting him, he never experienced true despair.

But what if one day he were in the same position as Reinhardt?

What will Ning Feng choose?

If it really comes to the point where it's necessary to sacrifice Xilin and Jiang Wan, what choice would I make?

Will I still be as determined and confident as I am now?

It's impossible.

This is the only thing Ning Feng can be certain of at this moment.

I simply cannot bring myself to so calmly sacrifice the people around me.

As a member of the command order, Ning Feng was taught to achieve the greatest results with the least cost, even if it meant sacrificing the interests or even lives of a small number of people.

He used to be very good at these things.

Whether it's battlefield simulation or sand table simulation, if those lives are just numbers, he can have no psychological burden.

Once you figure out the right solution, just leave the rest to the battle sequence.

But ever since he actually became a member of the combat force, he has personally faced dangerous situations...

No, even before that!

In the final trial to become a commander, in the unexpected encounter with Ariana, he learned a lesson.

There is no perfect plan in this world.

The world is chaotic and constantly changing.

The more meticulous the plan, the more prone it is to errors in the execution of details, and unexpected events can happen at any time.

And more importantly, the combat sequence is not just a series of cold, hard numbers.

They are indeed operators of the Watchers, but they are also living, breathing human beings.

There will be fear, confusion, and mistakes...

This is the true meaning of that seemingly absurd, even inexplicable, trial.

Let those civilian staff who will be sitting in the back row reviewing data, analyzing situations, and strategizing in the future understand the true meaning of battle.

That was a bloody reality that taught these command ranks how to treat their colleagues.

Ning Feng was not good at this kind of work.

He can easily ignore unrelated people, and even take the lives of guilty people.

But he couldn't treat his own relatives and friends the same way at all.

There's no need to do that.

Ning Feng felt he had no obligation to be a moral exemplar who treated everyone fairly; he wasn't cut out for that.

Ning Feng, without any attempt to conceal it, wasn't particularly selfish, but he wasn't exactly selfless either.

If someone can actually do this, he is undoubtedly a true hero.

Ning Feng had thought he would rarely encounter such a person, and that such figures were almost extinct.

To be honest, Ning Feng didn't really care about Lai Enhart's title of "Hero King".

He's just a king in the ordinary world, yet he dares to presume to call himself the King of Heroes.

The title of hero is not something that can be easily obtained.

But at this moment, Ning Feng sensed Lai Enhart's emotions and fell silent.

In his grief, Leonhardt made the right decision.

In contrast to his pain at this moment, Leonhardt's will became even stronger.

A will called "revenge".

Like a mountain cliff, like a volcano about to erupt, it contains fury and indignation.

The king, whose remains are now just bones, glared angrily at his fate.

They angrily denounced the injustice of the gods!

The area destroyed by the three suddenly fell silent.

The captain of the guards, floating in the sky, remained unresponsive, seemingly unaffected by Leonhardt's words.

But he did not continue his attack; he simply looked down at the two of them quietly.

It's like looking at a dead object, devoid of any emotion.

Those eyes were exactly the same as the crimson full moon in the sky, dripping with blood.

"Karl, get yourself straight! What are you doing?! Wake up!"

Leonhardt's voice contained anger and heartache.

Accompanied by Lenhart's angry rebuke, Karl finally reacted, stiffly moving his right hand.

it works! ?

Ning Feng really didn't expect that something as cliché as "a controlled teammate being awakened by momentum" would actually happen.
