Chapter 58: "Pacist"

"To be honest, I'm actually a pacifist."

The solemn dark blue dress seemed a little small. Although it was very close to the body, it outlined the knotted muscles even more clearly. Grand Duke Francis rarely used a gentle way that was very inconsistent with his image and talked slowly.

"Puff~~"

Although I knew that this was very unimportant and uneducated, I heard that Grand Duke Francis, who could not hide the serious violent tendency factor in his body, said this with my own ears, and Cocoli still sprayed it slightly.

The world-famous Duke of Steel Francis is a "pacifist"? Is this a fool? Who doesn't know that Walken's road to founding was paved with blood, flame and steel?

The secret agreement between St. Ostan and Walken has been basically signed, so the small cocktail party held in the not-luxury small garden of the King of Fastro is a practice cocktail party for the Grand Duke of France who is about to leave Portal. Because it is a secret alliance, it cannot make a big fuss. There are only a few people who can attend the cocktail party, but this does not affect the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

"Is there anything wrong? His Highness, the lovely princess?"

Because he was choked by the drink, Cocoli patted her chest in a bit embarrassingly, but that looked like another cute style that made people feel pity.

“…This…no…nothing?”

Such a loss of composure in front of others made the little princess blush with shame, and she was also embarrassed to express her correct views.

"Hahaha, it's okay. I know what your highness is thinking. You must think that the old guy is talking lies with his eyes open, right? It's okay! This is normal. Hahahahahaha~~"

With a bold smile, Grand Duke Francis glanced at the silver-haired genius girl who was sitting behind Cocoli with the same expression as usual. Although he had not been in Portral for a long time, Duke of Steel was deeply impressed by the genius girl's abilities.

“War for 'peace'?”

However, Cocoli did not seem to understand the meaning of Grand Duke Francis. Even if he is talented, the little princess of Beast Ear is just a child who is not well-versed in the world.

"My Princess, the reason you think so is entirely because you misunderstood the original meaning of the word "peace."

A warm smile was still on his face, but his tone was no longer as big as usual.

"The original intention of 'peace'?"

Cocoli tilted her little head cutely, and was extremely puzzled by Grand Duke Francis's words.

"Yes, the original meaning of the word 'peace'!"

Grand Duke Francis said with a smile, and did not look impatient at all when the little princess asked. She even took the time to raise her glass and looked at Fastro VII, who was smiling and silently watching the old and young.

"The so-called 'peace' is not a cheap product that can be obtained by charity alone or putting down weapons. From ancient times to the present, countless ancestors have made countless hard work and life and sacrificed great sacrifices. The unimaginable bones and blood are stacked together, and finally they have obtained the wealth and force that can survive even without killing... The 'supreme wealth' formed on this is 'peace', and the 'supreme luxury' that anyone can't stop - that is 'peace'. So, everyone is actually killing each other for the sake of 'peace'."

“…”

It was the first time I heard this argument. However, it didn't seem to be completely unreasonable.

"All countries are essentially from the underworld. No matter how dirty the king of the country is, they can exercise their faces without changing their faces for the interests of the people. The closer the relationship is, the easier it is to turn against each other. Therefore, neighboring countries are enemies! Therefore, we must not trust me lightly!"

An even more incredible speech appeared! This guy actually declared at the cocktail party after the alliance that "neighbors are enemies"?! And he also reminded his allies that "must not trust" him easily?! - I have to say that the Duke of Steel is indeed extraordinary!

"Since that's the case... then why..."

Since "neighboring countries are enemy countries", why should we establish alliances with "enemy countries"? This contradictory approach is really difficult to understand.

“Because we are all the same ‘pacifists’.”

"'us'?"

"Of course it's our Majesty Charles and that guy."

“…”

"If it is necessary to kill the other party in order to achieve peace, we will happily take down the other party as the head - after all, we are all 'pacifists'."

“…”

Although Grand Duke Francis still said with a smile, is such a bloody and cold-blooded topic really suitable for children to talk about?

Isn't this relationship too sinister?

"I think that guy and His Majesty Charles are the same as me. If we judge that the existence of the other party will hinder the realization of peace and we have the opportunity, we will definitely take action without hesitation."

Cocoli felt a cold current in her eyes rushing up along her back, because although Grand Duke Francis had always maintained a harmless smile, his eyes were no longer smiling.

"Speaking of this, the reason I came to St. Ostan was entirely because of that guy."

No one asked the Grand Duke of Steel who "that guy" was, because the Grand Duke said that "that guy" would only be that person.

"I would have agreed to cooperate with the Reston Fort so happily to perform that play, and it was the guy's credit."

"is that so?"

"Of course it's the case. There's nothing to doubt about. I knew when I first met in my big tent. That guy is 'like' and a 'pacifist' who holds the same ideas as me."

"Really, really?"

This statement is really unacceptable. In Cocoli's impression, it is impossible to find out the similarity between that person and the Duke of Steel.

"Ah~~ Although we didn't do much at that time, and although he always looked out of tune, I did feel it."

“What do you feel?”

"Murderous aura! Under that hippie face, there was a determined murderous aura hidden. I thought, if I had any other brains at that time, or insisted on going the war to the end, he would have killed me, the old guy without hesitation."

“…”

Cocoli couldn't imagine the way Grand Duke Francis and that man faced each other, because during this period of time, these two people were like a pair of bad friends who had been with each other for many years, making trouble everywhere. As long as they saw that happy look, no one could imagine that two people would turn against each other and fight to the death.

Most people cannot understand such a relationship, and Cocoli is no exception, but this is exactly why the Duke of Steel is the Duke of Steel!

“But it is precisely because we are 'pacifists' with the same philosophy that we can stand together like we are now.”

Grand Duke Francis smiled again, but this time, even his slightly shining eyes showed a strong smile.

"So, what advice do you have, the 'pacifist', come and find?"

Even though he was shocked, Count Caridos quickly adjusted his mentality and asked coldly as usual. A person who would be easily influenced by his own feelings could not lead the nearly 100,000 army to victory.

"I dare not take the advice, but can I ask the adults to take the road a little bit?"

In fact, Feng Kanda can do a big move that destroys the world without any scattering. Although it is a pure copycat, after the battle of Reston Fort, Mu and Shaka reminded him. He finally remembered what skills he could use. Not to mention Shaka's "Demon Subduing" that can completely change the terrain, even Sephiros' "Amaterasu" or "Gate of Hell" can clear out a large number of people in front of him.

Human land! But first of all, he really couldn't guarantee that he would go down this time. The Santa coalition and Shura who were surrounded by three layers of the inner and three layers of the outer layers were not affected. Secondly, he really didn't want to kill this hatred with the Principal of Bernardo here! This is more than 100,000 people. He didn't kill 400,000 Zhao troops without blinking. In essence, he was just a simple ordinary person, born and grown in a peaceful environment...ah, the ordinary people!

"Give Way?"

Earl Caridos sneered, turned his head to look at the giant sword that was erected on his neck, but his heart couldn't help but feel slightly lingering.

The giant sword looks very heavy. If you want to lift a 50 kilogram stone and lift the same volume of foam material, the look is completely different. The sword is at least 100 kilograms upwards, but the guy in front of him is pinching this giant sword with one hand like a needle pinching an embroidery, and even has the leisure to use the other hand to clean his ears...

"You can break through the layers of protection of our army and come to me, young man, I admit that you are indeed very good..."

It should be more than one thing, right? By the way, Feng Kan didn't waste much of his own strength - Mo Lan also has the ability to move short-range space.

"But are you used to making requests to others like this?"

"Not a request..."

Feng Kan smiled and slightly relaxed the strength in his hands, allowing the weight of the dragon teeth to increase little by little and press against the other party's shoulders... Just this time, a dense layer of sweat appeared on Earl Caridos' forehead.

"It's an order."
