In life, everything has the meaning of its existence and has its task. This task cannot be completed by anything else. For example, it is impossible for a person to experience life on his behalf. It’s the same for understanding the world and studying.
-Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)
After chatting together for a while about the interesting things in the college, Sofia asked Bai Feng with a longing face: "Bai Feng, you said that for a soldier, it is a particularly happy thing to be able to fight for the empire on the battlefield. what?"
Sofia's desire for war has been heard by Bai Feng for a long time; it is just that she mentioned the topic of war today. Bai Feng, who does not respect war, does not mind giving her a good lesson, letting her understand that war is not as she imagined. Beautiful.
"Sofia, from the perspective of war, I am qualified to call you Sofia; as a battlefield veteran who has experienced war, I can tell you clearly that war is far more cruel than you think.
For an ordinary warrior, they do not care about the glory of the empire or the so-called meritorious service. What they want is to go home alive; alive, this is the biggest pursuit and the only pursuit of each military officer.
You haven't experienced a real war, so you don't understand the cruelty of war; you haven't seen the familiar comrades who talked and laughed last night and turned into a cold body in a second, so the war you don't understand will cause you to lose.
When you finally experience the war one day, you will understand all this; no one wants to go to the battlefield to fight desperately with strange enemies, no one wants to sacrifice their lives for the so-called empire glory, life is more valuable than any glory of. "
"According to what you said, wouldn't anyone be willing to fight for the empire and no one would be willing to make achievements?" Sofia, who disagreed with Bai Feng's remarks, retorted: "There were so many nobles in the empire, but they were all battlefields. Grew up!"
Hearing Sofia mentioning the nobility, Bai Feng snorted: "How many nobles of the empire are fighting on the battlefield with real swords and real guns? Once they succeed, they are nothing but imperial warriors. The merits of our blood and bones are up."
"When I led the war between the generals and the barbarians in the southern border, the soldiers behind me never sacrificed blood for the glory and meritorious service of the empire. They were just to protect the loved ones and their homes behind. That's all."
In fact, Bai Feng, who did not serve in the South Front Army, can easily tell the struggle goals of the South Border soldiers with his own experience; this is the realm that Sofia cannot reach at present, and it is also the fact that she can't refute.
Sofia, unable to refute, was not as defeated by Bai Feng as she was. In a hurry, she randomly found a reason to be unconvinced: "Why were so many civilians willing to join the army when they were recruiting troops in the empire? Warrior."
"That's because they don't have more ways to choose. Not everyone is like the nobility here, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing as soon as they are born; those ordinary civilians, they need to earn money to support their families, and the military pay is Is what they want.
If life is not too difficult, who wants to throw his blood on his head for every few silver coins every month? In other words, do you Sofia willing to let her father and grandfather die in battle? Do you know how many imperial soldiers are to be killed in each battle?
Those warrior imperial soldiers, in your eyes, may just be the necessary contribution to victory, the capital of glory; but, each of them is the father of his own child, the child of his own parents, is their family willing to lose them?
Think about the old father and mother who send white hair to black hair, think about the wife who misses her husband, think about the children who need their father; Sofia, do you really think the war is so beautiful? Do you really feel that glory is above everything else? "
Bai Feng's series of questions made Sofia, who was unwilling, completely silent. She did not refute in vain, but fell into contemplation; after a long time, she raised her head again and looked firmly at Bai Feng Road:
"Even if the soldiers of the empire are suffering, I am still willing to be a warrior fighting for the glory of the empire; even if I am the only one, I will stick to it forever! The nobles of the empire should pay more while enjoying their rights many!"
Hearing Sofia saying this, Bai Feng not only did not feel disappointed, but instead moved with an indescribable touch; he stood up silently, patted Sofia on the shoulder, and said softly: "You are a real nobleman, but you don’t Will be a person, at least me."
Sofia, who thought Bai Feng was the kind of person who rejected war, suddenly heard Bai Feng say this, she was shaking all over, but she said nothing; looking at the back of Bai Feng leaving, Sofia produced a man for the first time. A different feeling.
Tonight's banquet lasted until the end of the night, and then Bai Feng learned that Sofia was accompanied by Princess Diana; the eighth prince invited his seven sisters to attend the banquet. This was an extremely normal invitation. Normally, Diana is Will not agree to participate.
Because Diana’s elder brother is the fourth prince and the eighth prince is competing for the prince’s position; however, after the close talk with Bai Feng, Diana is no longer a member of the four princes, so she deliberately Come to participate in the private dinner of the eight princes.
Melinda, who was inseparable from Diana, was originally going to accompany Diana to the banquet, but was stopped by her grandfather Duke Karl; no matter how pitying Diana and Melinda were, the stubborn Karl The Duke didn't let go.
Frustrated by Diana and Melinda, they had to find their older sister, Sofia, who had protected them since childhood; Sophia, who was not afraid of fear, did not discuss with her grandfather Duke Crest and came with Diana. Private dinner of the eighth prince.
So, this was the encounter between Sofia and Bai Feng; Bai Feng did not know what role his words would play in Sofia, but he really appreciated Sofia's persistence, which is the quality a true noble should have.
The empire nobles during the founding of the Dragon Empire, the heroes who took the lead on the battlefield and exchanged blood and life for glory; as centuries passed, how many brave noblemen of the past, how many of their descendants can be reborn On the battlefield?
The five duke families of the founding of the empire, the reason why they can inherit for hundreds of years has not declined, because they have always struggled on the front line of the empire's battles; since ancient times, countless members of the five duke families have died for the empire.
As a granddaughter of the Duke of Kleist, Sofia is a member of the heirs of one of the five princes' families in the Empire. Her performance is worthy of her family; this alone is enough for Bai Feng to recognize her choice, which belongs to a noble. respect.
When returning home at night, Bai Feng, along with Sofia and Diana, walked in the direction of the White House; along the way, neither Bai Feng nor Sofia mentioned the topic of war, but their mutual understanding was self-evident. Metaphor.
Diana, who was between them, felt keenly that there was something that Bai Feng and Sofia could not say; she didn’t say much about it, just smiling as before, and converged her inner feelings for Bai Feng. .
