Divine essence, given to the Giant Sword?!
Everyone was shocked.
This strand of divine essence, though incomplete, could have easily been kept by Lin Ke for future breakthroughs, studying, or even integration!
In Naseng, wars are few, and normally there isn’t a chance to slay a Stellar-level being, as the legends are always holding each other back!
Moreover, in other realms, even if Stellar-level beings exist and are killed for their divine essence, it might not be taken out to use.
To say nothing of most lower realms.
This strand of Stellar-level divine essence was a first sight for many nobles.
Yet now, Lin Ke gave the essence to Count Giant Sword!
"Why?!" Count Giant Sword exclaid.
Count Akel and others widened their eyes, while the viscounts were even more stupefied.
Several viscounts couldn’t help but whisper and exchange murmurs.
"You fool, trying to curry favor with Count Giant Sword, there’s no need to do it this way! Do you even know what divine essence ans..."
Count Grizzly Bear openly mocked, clearly he and Lin Ke were already at odds, and any chance to dampen Lin Ke’s spirit wouldn’t be missed.
"I know what divine essence is!"
Lin Ke’s words rang out, overpowering all other sounds.
As he spoke, he handed the Stellar-level divine essence to Count Giant Sword.
Count Giant Sword cautiously took it and still couldn’t help raspy questioning, "Why?"
Lin Ke looked at the Count Giant Sword, who was half a body taller than himself, and smiled slightly, "Because you are worthy."
Speaking, Lin Ke turned to others and said loudly, "His Majesty Insomnia has not arrived, nor have the Dukes or the Marquises! We can only hold on here bitterly! Yet..."
"But, we cannot bow to those Magical Beasts! We must utilize every resource available to us, to guard this place, to guard our holand! And now, Count Giant Sword..."
Lin Ke pointed to Count Giant Sword, raising his voice, "Count Giant Sword is, apart from my teacher, the strongest among us! This strand of Stellar-level divine essence could very likely help Count Giant Sword break through to eighteen levels!"
"Moreover, he is also the second-highest in military rit; the giant snake was slain by him as well..."
At this point, Lin Ke slowed down his speech, enunciating each word: "All for the sake of victory!"
All for the sake of victory!
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but be emotionally shaken.
"I don’t know how long we can hold, or whether we can last until His Majesty arrives, but we must hold on. If we have to rely on others to defend our holand, what right do we have to call ourselves nobles? Are we truly nobler than commoners?"
Lin Ke’s string of words led everyone into a mont of contemplation.
Count Giant Sword, in particular, adopted a complicated expression as he put away the divine essence.
At this mont, the "Leader" in Lin Ke’s mind seed to glow slightly.
"All for the sake of victory..." Count Giant Sword murmured.
"All for the sake of victory." Several other nobles instinctively repeated the words.
Then everyone awoke, suddenly finding Lin Ke in a radiant new light.
The glow of leadership!
Such a person forsakes selfishness and sectarianism, striving solely for ultimate victory on the battlefield.
Simultaneously, wise, understanding of the big picture, with strong backing...
"Lin Ke, this lad, is indeed a born commander!" Count Black Claw chuckled twice, admiration filling his voice.
"Alright then, everyone, get back to your tasks!"
Lin Ke waved his hand and gave John and the others a look, then led them away.
...
Beneath the Wall of Azanen.
Lin Ke arrived there to comfort the wounded.
Previously, Knicks trained nearly two hundred nurses, now treating over a hundred wounded.
Unfortunately, they are nurses without being "Nurses."
Among the wounded, there was a man nad Qing Cha, who was the lover of a previously deceased soldier.
While comforting the wounded, Lin Ke happened to see him and et his gaze, which stirred sothing in Lin Ke, prompting him to walk over.
Qing Cha was visibly distressed, and Lin Ke could sense it, knowing that previously he was but a farr, never having experienced such a life-and-death parting.
Moreover, in Naseng, the culture is not that enlightened, many people still cannot accept such sa-sex relations.
Lin Ke, on the other hand, benefits from the cultural explosion of his past life, believing that love is simply love.
In certain places, individuals would be hung and flogged.
But during that ti, a phrase deeply moved Lin Ke.
"If one must endure flogging for loving another, what is truly being whipped, the person, love, or... an outdated mindset?"
Thus, Lin Ke ca.
He supports everyone in following their heart’s choice, and not erasing the minority because of the majority.
Everyone has the right to soul freedom.
"Qing Cha." Lin Ke ca to stand before the seated man.
At that mont, a nurse was bandaging Qing Cha’s shoulder, which seed gravely injured.
Evidently, it was from when the Legendary Giant Snake attacked, causing Qing Cha and others to be flung away.
"Commander!" Qing Cha promptly stood, giving a chest-pounding salute.
"Qing Cha, do you know who He Weijun’s sister is?"
Lin Ke asked in a deep voice.
He had promised earlier to take care of that soldier’s sister.
The surrounding wounded all jolted slightly.
They had previously listened to Qing Cha go on about many things, most notably how Young Master Like was compassionate towards the wounded on the battlefield.
Qing Cha as well, his once muddled expression changed, tears began to flow again.
