Chapter 531: Farewell For Now
(Skyshard Mansion, Planet Vorthas, Two Days Before Deployment)
A couple days before deployment, Charles gave Leo half the day off to go visit his family and get his affairs in order, just in case he unfortunately died during his first war.
"Are you sure you’re going to be safe in this war? This is no longer a virtual game Leo.... And wars are dangerous," Amanda said with a concerned voice, as Leo chuckled and pulled her cheeks in response.
"I’ll be fine, don’t worry. I will have Dumpy to protect my back, won’t be involved in anything too dangerous, and will mostly just be supervising Dupravel fighting on my behalf.
My transport craft will be at the core of the fleet movement, which will also be the best craft, with best pilots and best defensive measures, that will only land when it’s absolutely safe.
So yeah, I’ll be okay.
But are you sure, I should take Ben with me?" Leo asked in turn, as Amanda nodded with a teary eye.
"Yeah, he’s been itching for a fight and wants to test out his new body.
It will be good for him to come with you in this war, and with me cloud backup-ing his memories, it’s not like he will be at any real risk of losing his life.
Also, it’ll give me peace of mind if I know that both Dumpy and Ben are by your side...." Amanda pleaded, as Leo simply shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly in response.
"Yeah, I don’t mind taking him with me. The old man taught me most of what I know about fighting. It’ll be fun to share the battlefield with him again—" Leo said with a smile, as Amanda hugged him tight.
"Come back to me safely, okay?" She pleaded, as Leo hugged her back and gently stroked her head.
