The Return of the Eternal Hero
Meaning of Name Leonhart - Chapter 14


Battlefield - 8 March 537


The war will soon begin as both armies are ready


If viewed from the number alone it can be said that the possibility of victory of Marquis Bargos is 90% given the large number of troops


The crowd even made the army of Archduke Leonhart look very small because indeed the number of Marquis Bargos troops is more than three times the number of Archduke Leonhart troops


But strangely the troops of Archduke Leonhart did not look daunted Leonhart's soldiers even look excited that smoldering


On the other hand many Marquis Bargos troops who even looked scared especially because most of them were indeed ordinary residents who could not fight


In addition, when they heard the screams of Leonhart soldiers they became frightened and their fear became worse after seeing how excited the Leonhart soldiers were


Alaric who saw this state of affairs was completely satisfied though at first he just thought he did not want to go to war with the desperate soldiers and he ended up trying to restore their spirit


But it turned out that the figure of the excited Leonhart warrior made the soldiers of Bargos intimidated and now it also made Marquis Bargos become restless


"My lord, is it okay with your promise?"


Reina felt that Alaric was too much to promise all these things to his soldiers because Reina was afraid that later it would make Leonhart fall poor because of running out of gold coins


"Truely my Lord I feel that the thing you promised is still very big"


Edward also agreed with what Reina said. Previously Alaric himself had discussed this with Reina and Edward to ask for their opinion


Alaric had originally planned to give 50 gold coins and 150 gold coins to each family of the slain soldiers but Reina and Edward had rejected that because for them the numbers were huge


Eventually Alaric lowered the number to 30 gold coins for each soldier and 100 gold coins for the family of the slain soldier


Although he was protested by Reina because he still considers the number is still too large but Alaric rejected it on the grounds that if he gave a small amount it would embarrass Leonhart's name


"In addition you also promise to finance all the needs of their wives and children"


The needs of people in this world can be said to be quite a bit other than food their main needs are clothing and shelter, then general purposes such as equipment and others


The amount itself is not too large because even 5 gold coins alone is enough to meet a family of 5 members for one month


Perhaps Alaric would have come out a lot of gold coins if they needed a more decent residence or perhaps their child would have entered the Academy if the child was talented


But the possibility is small enough for ordinary folk children to enter the academy, usually ordinary folk children will only learn by self-taught or taught by their own families


Because usually children are trained to be able to continue their parents' work later when they are adults


Therefore the amount of spending Alaric himself could not be said to be enough if he looked from the point of view of a noble


"No, all these expenses are something to be done"


In addition to his own ego that does not like to go to war with desperate soldiers, Alaric also wants to gain the trust of his soldiers


By showing what kind of leader he is, he makes his soldiers see that Alaric is a figure who always cares about all his people


"We understand Sir"


Reina and Edward answer together because they realize it seems like they can't change Alaric's decision


"My master it's time"


On the Other side Marquis Bargos also advanced with his horse escorted by Count Hewiis, they both advanced until finally meeting each other


This is often done by war commanders where they will discuss how the war is conducted


"Marquis Bargos, this is my warning, withdraw from this war and take away all your accusations!"


Alaric spoke first when Marquis Bargos wanted to speak and it made Marquis Bargos very angry at how Alaric had preceded him


In addition, what Alaric said also provoked his emotions because of the way he spoke as if making Marquis Bargos on the wrong side


But Marquis Bargos is a person who is good at hiding his emotions even though he is very angry he can still look calm and not provoked a single lure from Alaric


"I'm sorry but it's a pity Mr. Archduke Leonhart because I can't close my eyes without giving justice to my people"


"Then there's nothing more we can talk about, I'll go first"


Alaric turned his horse around and saw how arrogant Alaric was making how Marquis Bargos was almost out of patience


"Oh yes, Count Hewiis"


"Hmm..?"


Alaric stopped and looked towards Count Hewiis


"Be prepared!"


Then Alaric turned around and followed Reina he returned to his army


Leonhart's soul in Alaric's body does not have a close relationship with Javier Leonhart but Javier Leonhart remains his descendant because he will not be able to calm down before avenging his revenge


Meanwhile Count Hewiis who saw how the gaze from Alaric's blue eyes gave him a terrible pressure to make Count Hewiis sweat coldly


He had met many great people and some of them gave him great pressure but he had never met an 18-year-old boy who gave him the terrible pressure he feels now


After seeing and feeling how the pressure was exerted by Alaric, one question popped up in his head 'Did I choose the wrong side?'


From the beginning Count Hewiis realized that this war was the determinant of who would be the leader of the southern region and after he considered everything he chose to join Marquis Bargos


Although he could have remained neutral and tried to approach Marquis Bargos afterwards, he wanted to build a closer relationship to further his territory


If he helped Marquis Bargos win the war, surely Marquis Bargos would owe him a lot


When his mind was full without him realizing that he had returned to the Marquis Bargos army, he could not return because this was the path he chose


'The only way is to win this war'


He has rounded his resolve


On the other side of Alaric who had returned from his army, he descended from his horse


The soldiers who saw him seemed confused because Alaric got off his horse but Reina and Edward who already knew Alaric's plan remained calm


"Come to La Voisin... Absolute Zero!"
