Chapter 352: 352:Motivating Speech
A complicated look flashed in her eyes and not wanting to destroy the family reunion, she got up and sneaked away.
Naturally, this didn\'t go unnoticed by Leon\'s eyes.
Elena and Gwen played their game of hug and after a brief talk, they separated.
After sorting things, Leon thought about Elena a bit. This might be one of the few moments that had forced him to look baanalyzelyse, and ponder about certain things carefully cause this was totally....
Weird...
He felt a bit weird.
It was like a premonition that was telling him something like a spark howling desperately to say something but it was so faint that Leon found it hard to catch and ignite it.
Accompanying this was a weird sense of uneasiness.
If Elena knew his true thoughts and nature, naturally he would have also known about her so why did he act?
Why did he act to chase her?
Why did you act as a fool?
Also, he always doesn\'t go around offending and disregarding others unless the other side bites him.
The behaviour was in contrast to his character and this greatly annoyed him.
All he remembers was some snippets of the past but he couldn\'t pry more.
But knowing his meticulousness and since there was the presence of his almighty potent grandmother overseeing everything, there was no way things were simple.
Yeah, he can bet his little brother\'s life on it.
Rolling around, Leon couldn\'t find the answer. As for approaching Elena, he felt a restless thing about that.
In such a case, the usual thoughts rang in his mind.
"Should he just tie her and beat her up until she confesses everything?"
"Or should she just launch Hella to pry her head open?"
The amount of intrusive thoughts he had was overwhelming.
The next day, the family trio was going to look around the base and hunt off some monster but..
Leon and Gwen had hardly caught up with Irina when a warning sign started ringing.
Red light flashed everywhere.
[Everyone is requested to gather up in the main hall.]
"What happened? Are we under attack?" Gwen asked worriedly with a startled expression and then she stared at Leon.
They had arrived a day ago, and things were already worse.
This also happened at the graduation ceremony.
Are they some bad luck carriers?
"Gwen, stop thinking nonsense. "Leon chided, noticing Gwen\'s thoughts flying here and there, and then looked at Irina who was glancing out with a solemn expression.
"Mom, the situation is too tense."
"Yes and no," Irina answered.
"The front Sectors had been under attack repeatedly. And this has already happened a few times."
"Let\'s go and see. It seems we need to move sooner than expected."
Irina muttered, taking the lead.
She should have already been on the frontlines but she was advised to first hunt in the periphery to get used to the battle as she had been out for so long.
The central hub of the city shimmered to life, and dozens of figures emerged from various sides.
One by one, everyone lined up in an orderly manner.
Stepping out from the main hall, Irina respectfully greeted the Commander Li representative with a smile, calmly stating, "Commander Li, please lead the way."
Before the cadets on the other side stood a burly man with a scarred face, adding a stern air to his imposing figure.
Commander Li, towering at nearly 2.5 meters, resembled a giant, perhaps from his rigorous training regimen.
At the end on a high-raised platform, Hale stood with a stern, resolute expression. His face, etched with lines of weariness and determination, conveyed the gravity of the situation.
"The things on the outer battlefield are becoming chaotic. So we are going to send the reserve battalions slowly while drawing up forces from sectors below; however, if you are in trouble, don\'t rely on or hope for rescue as we are highly short of numbers."
"If you are stuck, you are already dead \'cause we don\'t have enough forces to send here and there..."
As he spoke, Hale\'s gaze shifted deliberately to Leon, his eyes narrowing slightly with a look that seemed to carry an unspoken reproach. His jaw tightened, emphasizing his frustration over the shortage of manpower.
Leon, understanding the implicit accusation, clenched his fists. A thick vein bulged on his forehead as his expression darkened, and he muttered under his breath as his lips curled into a
grimace.
\'For fuck sake stop looking at me as if I wiped out millions or an entire population. I just took out a few families, and their number won\'t even be reaching 10 thousand yet you are all
accusing me of creating a manpower shortage.\'
\'Did you think me as easy to bully?\'
Standing there, Leon made a silent resolution that next someone dared to say this no matter how he was, Leon will beat the shit out of him and throw him to his Black Castle prison. Ignoring Leon\'s inner monologue, Hale continued, his voice resolute, as he addressed the
newcomers.
"For those who arrived today and will be going for the first time."
He paused and glanced over the gathered soldiers, his gaze steely yet encouraging. "Tomorrow, you will advance to new sectors of the outer battlefield. Each of you knows your duty. We\'ve prepared diligently for this operation, and I trust in your capabilities." "Maintain vigilance, adhere to your training, and prioritize safety with your units. This is war for resources and land not for the survivability of humanity..."
Hale then gestured toward a large tablet at the far end of the platform, his hand slicing
through the air with a decisive motion.
The tablet displayed various coffins.
"As for the advice..."
He paused for a moment, his eyes scanning the soldiers with a piercing intensity.
"If you don\'t want to end up like that, grit your teeth and survive..."
