Maharaja's Legend

Southern Fort (7)

[Outside the command tent]

Xerone and Vera prostrated in front of the tent with trembling bodies. They are still traumatized by the incident in the western fortress. And now they are facing the second Paradicone.

"Xerone, I'm so scared. I want to cry." Said Vera who whispered to Xerone trembling while prostrating.

"Ah, I'm also so scared of Vera, that my body can't be moved." Said Xerone who whispered to Vera while prostrating

.....

Inside the command tent.

"It looks like they've come." Aries

"You wait here, no one comes out, I'll see them myself." Leon said firmly.

"Can I come with Leon.?" Ask Rachel spoiledly.

"Please wait here, Rachel. They're scared of you. I'll finish it myself." Leon said casually as he walked out of the tent.

.....

Outside the command tent. Leon looked at Xerone and Vera trembling while prostrating.

"What's wrong with the two of them. If things go on like this, they can convuls and die." Leon said inwardly in annoyance.

"Yoo. We meet again, General. Can you sit here.?" Leon said with a smile.

"HIIII." Xerone and Vera's Surprised Voice.

"Haa. Ha. Servant Facing the Master." Xerone said with fear. And Vera just fell silent in fear.

"You need not fear the general, stand up straight. You're a General, you have to act like a General." Leon said casually

"Ha, Ha, ha, Servant does not dare Master." Xerone said firmly. Even his body was trembling more and more

"There's no Paradicone. I'm just alone here. So you guys don't have to be afraid. So show me your attitude like the General." Leon said seriously.

Xerone and Vera began to stop shaking, and they both tried to stand in front of Leon, closing their eyes.

"Hmm, can you guys see me.?" Leon said casually.

"Ha. Servant does not dare sir." Xerone said firmly. But Vera ventured to see Leon, but his body trembled again.

"Hmm, okay. At least you're standing." Leon said with a smile.

"Xerone, Veronica. I have a tough job for you. I'll explain everything, so you know what your job is going to be. This is an important task. I hope you guys don't disappoint me." Leon said seriously.

Xerone and Vera were shocked. Even his fear began to disappear a little. What they feel now is seriousness.

"Ha. I will do it as best I can, sir." Xerone said with Resoluteness.

"Ha. The servant will also do the order, sir. Even with my own life." Vera said firmly.

"alright. Can we go up to the fort. There's something I want to show you guys." Leon said as he walked towards the fortress.

"Ha. Execute Command." Xerone and Vera at the same time. They walked behind Leon.

....

"Xerone, I'm so scared. What will happen after this. Am I going to be thrown down the fort.?" Vera said in her heart with great fear.

"Ah, looks like I'm going to die up there. Must have been Mr. Leon seeing the mound." Xerone said with fear.

....

They also walked up to the fort. However, Vera slipped several times and fell to the ground. And Xerone helped him up.

Leon just smiled looking at them. "They're so funny. hehe. But why are they still scared. The situation is awkward." Leon said in his heart.

....

They reached the top of the fortress and Leon looked down. There are still some people crying. He looked up there long enough.

Xerone and Vera simply fell silent while standing up. They did not dare to speak, let alone move.

"Xerone. Did you tell your men to bury the bodies.?" Leon asked sadly.

.....

"For sure, I'll die. I'm sorry all." Xerone said resignedly.

....

"alright. Can you get your soldiers to fix the grave. And do the food like a fighter. Give it a limit to eat it, then put a mark on it. If necessary, build the grave well. Can you do it Xerone.?" Ask Leon seriously.

"Ha. I will carry out my orders." Xerone said firmly. But he was also surprised.

"Enhanced Xerone. Can you see them, at the Porsa border. They cry to see the grave. You know, they've lost their family in the war here. They did not dare to enter this region, because they were also afraid of being killed. I just want them to see their family buried properly. So, help them. I know, it's because of the war. But at least we should respect their struggles." Leon said sadly while looking at the Porsas from above the fortress.

Xerone who heard it was shocked. Even he was amazed, but he felt a deep sadness. Then, he shed tears. And Vera just fell silent looking at Leon.

"Huh, Ha. Servants will bury them properly, sir." Xerone said as he held back his cries, he tried to toughen up.

Xerone remembers his father who died in the war. To this day, he does not know where his grave is.

"Can you feel it Xerone. So do them a favor and don't touch the civilians there. If the tomb had been. Give them a chance to see him. I will not forgive those who forbid them to visit the tomb. Even the King of the whole world." Leon said seriously.

"Ha. I'll do well sir." Said Xerone moved.

....

"Why, why did he think of that. My brother died in the war, my sister, my mother. All of them died from the war, and I never found the tomb. Even my father now, just lying in bed. Why is this guy thinking about that, why.?" Vera said inwardly in astonishment, even she had already shed so many tears.

Leon turned to look at the two of them. He was surprised to see a sad Xerone and Vera crying without a sound. Even Vera was only speechless with her tears continuing to come out.

"Ah, are you sad. Cry, I know, you must have lost your family. I'll wait for you guys. Put it all away." Leon said sadly.

"Hiks, hiks. Huaaaahhh." Vera's crying voice was loud. Even he fell down.

"Veraa. Veraa. Strengthen your heart." Said Xerone who saw Vera fall in front of Leon.

But Leon only looked at it with a sad look on his face. Then, he turned to look at the crying citizens again

"Help him Xerone. Its alright. You don't have to be afraid of me." Leon said sadly.

"Ha, please accept Mr." Xerone said with relief while holding Vera's body to calm her down.

....

"Veraa. Calm down, strengthen your heart." Xerone said as he held Vera.

"Xerone, hiiks me, me. Hiks I don't know why." Vera said while crying.

"Ah, okay." Says Xerone who is sad to see Vera while hugging her.

.....

A few minutes passed. Vera was relieved by her crying. And Xerone helped him up. Leon still closed his eyes.

"Master. Forgive us. I'll punish myself." Said Xerone who stood straight behind Leon.

"No need to do that Xerone. I'm glad to see you guys." Leon said while turning his body.

"This war, we cannot avoid. After this there will be more murders.I will explain a little to you. We are now facing a great threat, a prolonged war with the Louctus. They have moved throughout the continent, from land and sea. I'm with Paradicone looking for a way to fight them. Our strength now is not comparable to theirs. Even if the Paradicone went down directly, it was still far from winning." Leon said seriously.

"Yeah." Xerone's surprised voice and his body started to tremble.

Xerone and Vera who were listening to him, were only dumbfounded, they felt fear, anxiety, and despair.

"But I've found a way to counter that power. I need your powers. All the troops were selected from 3 continents. And form a special warrior unit from these three continents." Leon said seriously.

Xerone was shocked to hear that. Even his legs were trembling.

"I need some warlords for this army. We will unite to fight them, under the leadership of Paradicone. World military unit, Gionova." Leon is serious.

Xerone and Vera gulped while looking at Leon. They were really very surprised by Leon's seriousness.

"You are one of the 12 elected commanders for now. It's gonna be a long job." Leon said seriously.
