When Athena fell in love with Diana

"Everyone from Rhodes and Isli," she said loudly, her clear voice piercing through the cold and stagnant sky: "Today, we held the first joint exercise. Today, the people of Isli will meet Rhodes' army in person. The formation and footwork of the Rhodes people also want to see how Isli's friends dodge and move. We will see how you use your weapons, and you will also see our martial arts moves. All these are based on mutual care, proceed in a reasonable spirit of mutual respect."

She paused to let her voice carry her words.The person closest to her yelled her words once, and the next person heard her words and repeated the same thing, and so on.Galadia continued speaking after the weak last shout in the distance fell silent.

"But this is only the beginning. By the end of today's military exercise, I hope that we will no longer see each other as 'Isli people' or 'Rod people'. When the military exercise ends today, I hope that there will be no barriers between us." .Because only in this way can we survive the coming battle.”

She had another meal.

"In battle, it doesn't matter whether you are a Rhodes or an Isli - the most important thing is to win. The most important thing is to survive!"

His eyes were burning like a raging fire, and the school grounds were silent.

"I say this because I will never allow the classification of nationality classes on the battlefield—I will never allow it! Now I tell you plainly that there is no room for such wild thinkers in my army, and you—all People, until the end of this war, are subordinate to my army. The soldiers of Rhodes are assigned to me by the order of the Senate, that is, the order of the people. The soldiers of Isli are the kindness of the king of your country Assigned to me. So, you are all my army now."

"In my army," she went on, "everyone is equal, yes, even me, as the commander. I mean, there is no difference in the army because of who belongs to which faction. , the army is the only faction. The survival of the army is the first thing, because it is the life and death of all people."

"I say this because I've seen certain officers and even generals discredit themselves by preaching superiority among their peers. I've seen people abandon their allies, 'not their own'. I've seen entire troops trying to bait the enemy They were sent to die because they were not the commander's personal soldiers, and everyone would understand if they lost. I saw a soldier hesitate to take the risk of saving people, because that person was a mere ally, and he couldn't understand it as just an ally Is it worth it to take the risk in the army?"

She raised her head, her piercing eyes swept across the team.

"As mentioned above, if there are offenders, I will punish them severely!" She said, "As long as you are still under my orders, you must advance and retreat in unison, think in the same way, and act in the same way."

"You will not explore who is Isli or Rhodes - this has nothing to do with the purpose. First of all, your identity is my soldier, and second is Isli or Rhodes. I don't agree with the idea of ​​treason. As my soldiers, you are my army, and I am your commander. I—not Galadia Odin, I, I hereby honor the Rhodes government and the Isli court. My authority is Rhodes and Isli, and I represent the two countries, united as one."

"Earlier, I mentioned the matter of survival. Today, many of us have come to hate that word-it must be cowardly to care about personal survival. A good soldier naturally disregards life and death and is heroic. To be killed is to be immortal. I agree that it is honorable to die in battle," she declared, "but I also agree that it is honorable to be alive. I would rather have a soldier who came back alive than a soldier who died .I'd rather have a living hero come home victorious with me than an immortal lying in a graveyard."

"I say this to make one thing clear: No matter what happens, I want to win this battle with all my heart; I want to win without turning my men into martyrs; we can only do it together. Unity is strength and I repeat it again."

She stopped and caught them with her eyes.As if in tacit understanding, the sun poked its head out from the clouds at this time, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on her face, and those who looked up at her seemed to see the red god of war shrouded in golden light.

"You are my army, you will be united," she said every word, and they were already fascinated.

"You are strong and my army is always strong. You will survive and my army will survive - because my army will always win!"

She ended her speech with a smile.When her words echoed to the soldiers in the last row and she was returning to the generals behind her, a loud shout jumped out from the Rhodes army standing in the first row.

"General!" cried the voice, "we are your army!"

Just one sentence detonated the audience.Calling, shouting, like a heat wave, everyone was involved, even the Isli people were no exception.

The soldiers, Isli and Rhodes soldiers, struck the shield with their swords and spears, fiercely smashing the originally peaceful sky.

The officials of Isli looked dumbfounded at the soldiers who had always been indifferent and indifferent, and Rhodes generals, who were familiar with the style of the commander, smiled in understanding while casting envious eyes at their commander.

"She won the hearts of the soldiers."

Taking advantage of the time when the coach hadn't come here, an adjutant whispered in front of the senior lieutenant.

The short brown-haired senior lieutenant-cum-clerk smiled, "That's right, alas. Even if Isli's army hadn't really been tempted earlier, by now, everyone must have fallen in love with her, right? Kelly .”

Hearing this, the chief vanguard officer who was already smiling laughed out loud: "Chris, I have to say, the Rhodes' love rivals need to add the Isli people."

"However," the adjutant who stepped forward to start the conversation still said seriously, "No matter how many times I hear such a speech, I will always tremble and feel dizzy. I probably have no strength to resist."

"Haha," the senior lieutenant general also laughed heartily, "I don't think anyone in this world will be able to parry."

"Ah, that's not necessarily the case."

"My lord, don't be self-effacing. If Lord Roland, the chief elder, was present, he would have to succumb to your speech just now."

"Ah, Master Chris, I'm not being modest."

The lieutenant was almost surprised to find that her coach was looking in a certain direction with a strange expression that was rarely seen in a century.Following the coach's gaze, almost at the same moment, Rhodes' generals all saw an incredible scene.

In the school field swept by the frenzy, among the passionate soldiers, the group of soldiers in black and brown armor looked very eye-catching.

There was no excitement, no fanaticism, and no expression, just, as always, staring at their coach—the black ghost who had never changed his expression since the moment he entered the school grounds.

Among the wanton waves, the unmoving mountains - this is exactly the impression left by the hunter team on all Rhodes generals.

"Ah, my Bloodsworn One is an amazing leader."

Galadia looked at her guards with a smile, and she was not frustrated with the failure of her speech at all. On the contrary, there was an inexplicable emotion flashing in those fiery eyes.

She herself didn't know what it was, but at least she knew that her emotions made her stare at her guard without blinking, while the cute little black dog lowered its head shyly .

Obviously... the leader who can train such a powerful army, but so cute!Thank the gods for giving me such a lovely creature.

"Olympia, I really feel that this team is the strongest now. There are still people in this world who can resist the charm of the general's speech. I must write it down in my history books! You say so, Kelly, this is so weird! Kelly?"

Senior Lieutenant Chris looked at his silent friend strangely, followed the line of sight of the silent friend, but saw a strange scene.

In the hearts of the soldiers who were snatched by General Rhodes, it was originally a thing that pleased the ruling class to retain some loyalty to Isli. The hunter team showed dissatisfaction, even Chris could testify with his head, the eyes of those Isli nobles looked at the hunter team with hostility.

The unusually quiet Chief Vanguard Officer, as described in his friend's biography, half-closed his eyes and smiled at the shy black ghost beside his general.

For a moment, Chris looked at his friend as if he saw a hawk hunting.
