Chapter 1449: Aidan Is Exhausted
Canduras reacted quickly after receiving the news.
It is also unlikely that Norman Osborne's visit came after he arrived at Canduras and then sent his greetings.
Instead, after they boarded the aircraft, news of their visit to Khanduras had been sent to Khanduras.
Although Leoric would not personally deal with every detail, at least such matters would be sent to Aidan for processing first.
The power of Canduras is completely concentrated in the hands of Leoric and Aidan, the father and son.
Although other people do not have no status in Canduras, it is absolutely impossible to share the power from Leoric and Aidan.
Even if this place is a battle fortress, the only things that really require Leoric's constant attention are those related to battle.
As for people's livelihood problems, it's not that they don't exist, but in Canduras this kind of problem is not an imminent type.
A day or two of inconvenience in Leoric's life is not unbearable in Leoric's eyes, but if there is a delay in the improvement of combat effectiveness, Leoric will put aside everything in his hands to deal with it!
Canduras is not a beautiful place like paradise on earth, Leoric had no intention of hiding this from the beginning.
And those people who chose to live in Kanduras at the beginning did not come to Kanduras just to live more comfortably.
There is only one fundamental reason why they are willing to transfer all their industries and wealth to Canduras, and that is that living in Canduras is safer than other cities under the current situation!
This is still true until now!
Leoric's control over Canduras is so strong that it is impossible for any demon to invade from the outside!
The probability of internal personnel being corrupted into demons has not yet reached the explosive stage at this time. Even if humans occasionally become corrupted, Leoric can deal with the weak demons as soon as the corruption is completed!
If you want to become a powerful demon as soon as you become corrupted, you must at least have strong strength before being corrupted!
At this time, guys with powerful strength on the human side are more difficult to shake and corrupt than ordinary people!
Under the influence of these aspects, Candulas can indeed be regarded as the most stable fortress.
As for the Holy Mountain of Harrogas, this place has not accepted all humans to settle in, so naturally it will not be directly regarded as one of the human fortresses.
Only the Nephalem understand the significance of Harrogath as humanity's final stronghold.
Aidan dragged his somewhat frail body to Leoric's office.
During this time, in addition to being responsible for issues related to people's livelihood in Canduras, he was also responsible for the training of the Paladins and Templars.
After Johanna left Khanduras, the training of these people could not stop directly.
This is something closely related to the war potential of the fortress of Khanduras!
Because of this work, Aidan came to see Leoric with visible fatigue.
Even if he can only fight one last time, his vision and experience as a powerful warrior can still help the young people in training.
“The combat capabilities displayed by the Templars and Paladins are not satisfactory. After all, there are very few people with talents like Johanna.
However, they are considered to have good combat effectiveness. At least they will not collapse when facing warrior-level demons. "
Aidan reported on the work as soon as he saw Leoric.
"This doesn't surprise me. Johanna, the Crusader, is already very powerful, and Canduras doesn't care about consumption when training these people.
It is not surprising that he can show such combat effectiveness now. "
Leoric said without raising his head.
He trusts Johanna's strength from the bottom of his heart, and also trusts Aidan's judgment.
After all, if we only count the frontal combat effectiveness, Leoric is inferior to Aidan and Johanna.
"How many Paladins and Templars are there who can fight now?"
Leoric continued to ask.
“Two hundred and twenty people, the best have barely reached the threshold of the elite.
The one with the slowest progress can still be entangled with the Warrior Demon for a while. "
Aidan said without changing his expression.
After this work report is completed, he will inform the other party of some situations that must be decided by Leoric.
Although Leoric spent most of his time sitting in his chair, that was not idle time!
Instead, Leoric was constantly monitoring all aspects of Canduras through his own abilities.
The skeletons created by Leoric are all over Khanduras. Leoric can know everything that happens here if he wants to!
Because Aidan knew that Leoric had a heavy task, Aidan would not waste too much of Leoric's time.
He would handle whatever he could handle instead of using it to cause trouble for Leoric.
The relationship between father and son has never been fake. Even if there are differences in the handling of some things, it will not destroy the relationship between father and son.
"If it's the pressure of demons in an environment like Sanctuary, this kind of combat effectiveness is pretty good.
But if a war breaks out in this situation on Earth, it will be a total war.
This kind of strength is simply not enough to fight against the demon army of Burning Hell. "
Leoric's face didn't look good.
Although he had not personally encountered the siege of the demon army, he was at least well-informed.
He didn't care about tens of thousands of demons, but he knew that once a full-scale war broke out, the number of demons would be "countless"!
The combat power of Canduras is not enough to face the full-scale demon invasion!
As a war fortress, the role of Canduras is not to delay the invasion of Burning Hell for a long time!
Instead, it is to stand in the demon tide like a reef that will never be broken!
After Leoric became the Skeleton King, he also had his own views on time.
He rebuilt Canduras not to let Canduras stand for only one or two years under the impact of demons!
What he wants to do is to make this place exist forever!
"Father, you still haven't given up your original plan?"
Aidan's expression was slightly distorted.
During this time, he finally discovered some of Leoric's methods, which were indeed methods that could prevent Canduras from falling.
But the consequences of that method are even more cruel than the fall of Khanduras to the demon offensive!
Aidan knew that Leoric's approach must be a good thing for all humans!
As long as Khanduras does not fall, it can help other humans withstand the impact of demons for a day!
But this approach is simply terrible for Khanduras itself!
"Why should I give up? Or do you have a better method than mine?"
Leoric finally raised his head and looked at Aidan.
"You guarded the hope of mankind, but you left no hope for Khanduras."
Aidan said with some reluctance.
"You are the hope of Khanduras, and I am also the hope of Khanduras.
As long as we can survive, Khanduras will always be rebuilt one day.
But if the current Khanduras is completely broken, then mankind will have no future."
Leoric said expressionlessly.
This is not the first time they have argued about the right and wrong of this issue.
But there has never been any result. Leoric does not like to share the future he outlined with Aidan.
But Aidan couldn't help wanting his father to give up what he thought was an outrageous practice.
"Someone from SHIELD wants to visit you. It's the leader of the Thunderbolts, codenamed Green Goblin."
Aidan chose to give up trying to persuade Leoric temporarily. He knew that it would be impossible to persuade his father once or twice.
Even before any opportunity appeared, he couldn't persuade his father.
"I have an hour tonight. You know when it is. Arrange for them to come to me at that time."
After Leoric finished speaking, he lowered his head and returned to his previous work.
During the time he was talking to Aidan, several demons appeared under the ground of Canduras and ran into the skeletons!
Leoric just moved his mind, and those demons were directly penetrated by the dense skeletons, and then turned into minced meat under the friction of the skeletons.
Leoric killed a lot of demons. Only by coming from the trial field-like place outside Canduras could he reach the target closest to Canduras.
And there were many people waiting to kill demons there.
Kanduras is not a cage for these people, Leoric is very clear about this.
Once the war really breaks out, Leoric plans to send these seeds of living power away directly!
He will not leave those with excellent qualifications in Kanduras, because there will be no living people left in Kanduras!
"I know, I will arrange everything before that."
Aidan said.
Aidan's face has always been not very good. After losing the power to fight, many things are more troublesome to deal with.
Military force cannot solve all the troubles, but many times having strong strength can avoid a lot of troubles.
Aidan has been exhausted in dealing with Kanduras during this period.
Before leaving, Aidan left a few documents, which also required Leoric to make decisions.
It's just that it's not as important as what Aidan said. As long as Leoric takes the time to deal with it, it's not urgent.
Leoric's office has returned to calm, but Aidan obviously has not given up the plan to persuade Leoric.
But now he can't do it through his own efforts.
Seeking help became the only way!
Aidan came to Leah's tavern, and Gruchak went to the center of the storm. There was no barbarian guarding Leah.
Gruchak was willing to stay here before, on the one hand, for Bul-Kathos's sake, and on the other hand, he happened to stay in Khanduras.
If nothing unexpected happens, the ancestral spirits on the Holy Mountain of Harrogath will send quite good combat forces to various war fortresses to stay for a while.
On the one hand, it is to help these war fortresses through the most difficult initial period, and on the other hand, it is also to make a preliminary assessment of these war fortresses.
It's just that Gruchak had other things to do before these tasks were completed.
Otherwise, Gruchak should be able to perceive some of Leoric's thoughts.
"You got off work a little late today, what would you like to drink?"
Liya greeted Aidan.
As they spent time together, Leah and Aidan became more familiar with each other.
Although they had not yet shown the kind of affection between father and daughter who had been apart for a long time, at least they were no longer as estranged as they were at the beginning.
"A bottle of rum."
Aidan had a smile on his tired face.
Coming to Leah was his greatest comfort during this period.
Leah didn't say much, but turned around and took the rum from the wine cabinet, and placed it in front of Aidan along with a glass.
Aidan was not a guest, but a father.
So Leah didn't plan to entertain him enthusiastically.
"Is your work today annoying?"
Liya sat opposite Aidan and asked gently.
Liya's tavern was never very lively, and generally there were no guests.
This was not surprising, after all, no one liked to see Aidan during their break.
Aidan is the prince of Khanduras. Even if his fighting power becomes negligible, no one will want to offend him in Khanduras.
So Aidan, who always comes to Leah's tavern, makes the business here very ordinary.
But Leah doesn't rely on this tavern for her life. She is not short of wealth.
Whether as a Nephalem or as Leoric's granddaughter, she doesn't need to worry about her livelihood.
"I had another quarrel with your grandfather, although it was not fierce.
If one day Khanduras is in danger, I hope you can go to Harrogath before the space is blocked."
Aidan said calmly.
He didn't want his daughter to see Leoric's final means.
Although Aidan didn't expect Leah's birth at first, he and Adria were not without feelings.
Although Leah's birth was also somewhat influenced by Diablo, it was a fact that Leah was his daughter.
Aidan also loved his daughter, so he made this suggestion.
"It looks like Grandpa is going to do something terrible, so terrible that you think I am not fit to witness it after all I've experienced."
Leah frowned as she spoke.
She picked up the medicine bottle at her waist and took a sip.
Aidan didn't see any injuries on Leah, but he didn't see Leah hurt herself!
When the vitality is full, the Nephalem's medicine bottle should be unusable.
Aidan knew this very well!
The medicine bottles used by those Nephalem are not the same as the potions he used at that time!
Just seeing Leah's movements, Aidan knew that Leah should go out to fight today.
There is a training ground at the door of Khanduras. No Nephalem would ignore such favorable conditions.
Leah didn't choose to go back to Harrogath to open the secret realm to make herself stronger, which means she cares about his and Leoric's performance.
Aidan didn't forget that Leah still has the blood of the Stag Tribe of Bul-Kathos in her body.
If Leah wants, she can explore the secrets of Bul-Kathos.
Leah is closer to a pure Nephalem than others.
"It's a little scary, I will solve it.
If I can't solve it, I will ask for help from others."
Aidan said in a gentle tone.
He didn't want to be worried by his daughter.
