The dull feeling in his chest was like a big stone pressing on his heart. He had long been accustomed to this feeling, but the luster in his eyes became more and more gray as his vitality declined.
"Well……"
Because the wound was pulled, he took a gentle breath, and at the same time subconsciously gritted his teeth to prevent any traces of pain from appearing on his face.
Iori blinked her bright red eyes, stretched out her hand, and gently held her husband's chest.
"Watch your step, you'll be in trouble if you fall here."
The feeling coming from the hand is very light and soft, almost not like the weight of an adult man.
Forty percent of the hundred-day deadline imposed on Mr.'s head has passed, and his body and soul are being eroded by Kivotos every moment.
He has given his life for this city and the children in it.
But it's still not enough. This city is greedy for more, like a beast possessed by greed. It ignores the cries and prayers of the students and only knows how to demand and squeeze until the teacher turns into ashes. .
The strange touch and the slight warmth clinging to his hands made Iori's face become uncertain.
She really wanted to hold her husband in her arms, caress the back of his head, and let him have a good sleep in her arms.
But her instincts and discipline told her that now was not the time to do so.
"Yes, sir,"
Iori suddenly spoke,
"There seems to be a rumor spreading over Holy Trinity."
She looked at Mr., her eyes hesitant and her brows furrowed.
The gentleman's face remained calm, as if nothing could overwhelm this man, and no turmoil could make him flinch.
"Tell me about it."
Iori took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said:
"...They said that the real gentleman died on the day when the sky of Kivotos was stained with blood."
"As for you, you are just the remnants of some kind of soulless mystery."
Chapter 041: Day 060·Intermission②
The gentleman stared intently at Iori's bright red eyes.
Iori was originally worried about whether her husband would be depressed and his fighting spirit would be dimmed after hearing the news.
But when she met her husband's gaze, all she saw was silence and frankness.
Like the cold mist condensed from the sea, it blew over her body elegantly and freshly, but she never revealed what was hidden in this mist.
Is it a deeper pain?still……
"Ha ha ha ha"
The gentleman laughed softly, with a warm glow on his face.
Iori asked angrily:
"why are you laughing!?"
"No, I just..."
The man exhaled slowly and looked out the window with a helpless look:
"I'm just feeling a little emotional. It seems that Holy Trinity can still come up with good publicity methods."
"You still admire them!?"
Iori rolled her eyes,
"Do you know that your current situation is already very troublesome?"
Iori stamped her feet angrily. Seeing her husband's still leisurely look, as if he was sure of victory, she became furious:
"First they praised you as a god and launched a war under the banner of 'spreading your teachings', and then reduced you to a puppet, completely losing the possibility of fighting for other schools in Gehena! What a good plan. Snap, let them tell you all the truth and irony!"
"After their propaganda and the power of victory, Holy Trinity will be able to firmly hold the title of righteousness..."
The more Iori spoke, the angrier he became, and he punched the board of the ship:
"Hey... Even if they chop you into pieces, you won't be able to complain!"
The teacher gently stroked Iori's trembling back:
"Okay, Iori-san, don't worry, just take it easy."
"Why do I have to be anxious for you! After all, why are you not anxious at all!"
Seeing that Iori was so worried that he seemed to be scratching his head, Mr. smiled:
"Of course I'm not impatient. An impatient attitude will only make me lose my calm judgment."
"What's more, publicity is just a means. As for whether these means are used to do good or bad things..."
The gentleman paused for a moment, his eyes were silent, looking at the sea in the distance,
That was the land of Kivotos that they had long since moved away from.
The peaceful campus life seems to still be yesterday, but now it is a precious past that cannot be found in dreams.
Mr. Wang looked into the distance, as if through the endless ocean, and saw the Holy Trinity School building standing outside the horizon.
"That's entirely up to them."
In his tone, he seemed to still have a great degree of trust in the students of Holy Trinity.
No, not just the Holy Trinity…
Iori can feel that the objects of his trust are Holy Trinity, Ghena, Millennium, and all the students in many other large and small schools that exist in Kivotos.
The teacher trusted the students unconditionally and without reservation.
This trust is not simply indulgence, nor is it paternalistic coercion.
Iori suddenly had the illusion that this man had an insight into fate, but he did not easily pluck the strings of fate. He was just waiting for the most appropriate time to add his tuning notes to the new movement.
But this illusion is fleeting.
Iori opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
After a long time, she could only lower her head and said sourly in a resentful tone:
"Do you really believe in Trinity students? Do you believe in...her?"
Iori did not say the name of Mika Sazonon.
She didn't want to arouse her husband's emotions any more, but deep down in her heart, she still held a considerable degree of resentment towards the witch who started the war, and... a hidden jealousy.
"Not entirely because I believe them."
The teacher calmly patted Iori's shoulder, letting her slightly excited mood gradually calm down, and then spoke gently:
"Moreover, the forces we have to worry about now are not just them - not just the Holy Trinity."
Iori was obviously startled, and his expression was a little unnatural.
In the past two days, first I questioned him aggressively, and then the damage caused to his body by the sacrifice was eating away at his life all the time.
Although they were very angry that their husband brought Bai Zhouzi back, in fact, it seemed that they owed their husband more.
If Mr. made jokes and made harmless jokes as usual, Iori would feel more relaxed——
This gentle smile not only failed to warm her, but only made her feel more chilled.
He kept his inner pain tightly sealed and became increasingly reluctant to show it to others.
A thought suddenly came to Iori's mind:
If the gentleman is really just a reverb created by some kind of mystery, as the rumors of the Holy Trinity say, he might become more like the joking gentleman from before than he is now.
And the students might be able to let him leave without any pain...
But there are never so many ifs in the world.
After a moment of daze, Iori returned to his businesslike expression.She frowned and asked:
"Not just the Holy Trinity? Sir, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that we also have to face other enemies?"
The gentleman did not answer in a hurry.
He stared at Iori's face, then looked around to make sure there was no one in the aisle, and then lowered his voice and asked:
"Do you think Holy Trinity won or lost this battle?"
"Then it can still be considered a loss?"
Iori rolled his eyes: "We were all pushed into the sea, we can't shamelessly admit that we won, right?"
"Not necessarily."
The gentleman crossed his arms and patted his arms gently with his index finger:
"If I said that after the Holy Trinity battle is over, we will lose much more than we gained, would you believe it?"
The man stopped his smile, his eyes were serious and dark,
He raised his head and met Iori's puzzled gaze.
"All wars are economic wars. I have said this countless times."
"In order to capture us quickly, Holy Trinity did not hesitate to spend money and invest in a large number of weapons that are not of this era.
Even though these expensive weapons, such as behemoths of destruction, beam weapons, and power armor, are supported by technology analyzed by several secret techniques, the level and energy level of Holy Trinity's own factory are not enough to support a complete front——
Their cost is so high that even if Gehna is completely swallowed, it will be difficult to make up for the lost economy in a short period of time.
Coupled with the massive ground conventional vehicle troops they destroyed by us, all these costs add up. Now, do you still think the situation of Holy Trinity is good? "
Iori retorted:
"But they took over Gehena's factories, commercial areas and farmland. The value of these things should not be low, right?"
"really,"
The gentleman nodded and then continued:
“But it’s another expense to get them back up and running.
Coupled with the panic among the people in the combat area and the destruction caused by the students who voluntarily stayed in Ghena, investors did not dare to say that they would be able to get their funds back immediately. "
"I dare to assert that Holy Trinity is at its weakest now."
"In comparison, the weapons we used were all large inventories from the old era, and beam weapons and power armor were only manufactured on a small scale.
Even my reconnaissance plane - well, don't look at me with that weird look, that thing is just a modified version of an old model. "
"Holy Trinity spent a lot of money, got a piece of ruins, and gained the attention of all other schools.
And we have burnt out all the old weapons, just in time to replace them with new equipment. Almost all students and active forces have withdrawn, and we have also been financially supported by a lot of resources from the Marine School and port freight.”
"Excuse me, which side is in danger now, and which side is still alive?"
Chapter 041: Day 060·Intermission ③
Iori was stunned.
She had never imagined that there would be so many ways to fight and so many calculations.
At that time, her husband insisted on using the conventional weapons in stock and opposed the mass production of new weapons. She thought it was stingy.
In her opinion, at the critical moment of life and death, one should go all-in and go all-in.
The Ghenna campus no longer exists, is there any point in keeping these resources?Just do it and it's done.
Not just her, many Gehna students thought the same.
But now it seems that it was Mr.'s decision that prevented them from consuming massive resources and energy and investing in a war that was poorly prepared.
And these remaining resources and energy have been transferred to several port schools under the operation of Mr. Wang, and have become bargaining chips for continued fighting.
Her husband's calm eyes gave her an indescribable sense of trust.
But the pain lurking beneath those gray eyes was beyond her reach, and she couldn't heal it.
