The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 43 Astor Rhine

"So that's the case, I think I've seen what you said, Your Excellency General Astor Rhine."

Snow hung up the wireless Graeme, and then looked at the man who was walking towards this side surrounded by a team of guards.

The other party was tall and tall, with a rather upright Chinese character face. He looked about [-] years old, and he was not wearing the extravagant and exaggerated clothes like ordinary nobles, but just an ordinary-looking Rhineland military uniform.

But the chest is covered with various badges.

Astor Rhine, the adopted son of the contemporary Grand Duke of Rhine, is upright, brave, and good at making friends.

At the same time, he is also one of the military figures in the Principality of the Rhine, controlling a group of border troops with nearly [-] people.

He is also an absolute hawk who has won many times in border frictions with the Principality of Beto. In this war, he was the commander in charge of the right-wing legion...

Comui looked at the rather rich resume of the other party and rubbed his brows with his hands. This was information from the central hall.

Without informing him, the higher-ups arbitrarily informed the supporter of the Black Order of their assembly point.

The intention is already evident.Just to see if he can add another contribution to the opponent's resume in the next battle.

Only this time it was a demon.

"Does the Central Hall want to control the Suez Canal!"

Kommui stared at the photo belonging to Astor Rhine on this intelligence. The two countries on both sides of the Suez Canal may cease to exist after the battle.

Both Rhine and Beto will face the possibility of disintegration, because according to the latest information, the royal families and nobles of these two duchies may have been wiped out.

Either killed or turned into a demon.

Therefore, on the Grand Canal that chokes the north and the south, there must be a peaceful and stable situation, so as to ensure the control of the Black Order over places outside of Europe.

It can be seen that the central hall has chosen Asta Rhein as the next object of support, and the benefits that can be obtained after controlling the canal are extremely rich.

Now under such circumstances, reaching in is simply an opportunity that couldn't be better.

The Black Order stood behind Astor's backstage to share the benefits together... In this situation and background, this Astor Rhine is simply a perfect candidate.

This guy has a good reputation, has enough rights in his hands, and has a good foundation among the people. Most importantly, he is also a very qualified supporter of the Black Order.

In the beginning, he discovered the clues about the demons between the two countries, and passed them on.

Although his surname is Rhine, he is only an adopted son, has no right to inherit the throne, and is no longer included in the conditions of the following "Holy Judgment".

It is simply a suitable candidate who cannot be more suitable.

In Comye's mind, the purpose of these actions in the Central Hall was almost obvious.

The actual control of the Suez Canal, the Black Order is imperative.

This is really... Before the war even started, they were already thinking about how to mop up and divide up the profits.

But this is the decision of the higher authorities, and Komui has no right to question anything. Right now, he can only cooperate with the front and try his best to fight this battle well... No wonder the opponent will send a generalissimo to sit in charge.

"I'm so sorry! Because it's a military camp, I can only use these things to entertain the exorcists."

Inside the tent, Astor of course expressed a very sincere apology to Snow.

"It's an extraordinary time! It's good to have something to eat."

The rabbi said vaguely while gnawing on the dried meat and bread.

Right now they are in the barracks of the Asta army, and have received a relatively warm reception. This enthusiastic general has already brought out the highest quality military rations in the army.

This guy understands world culture very well!According to his understanding, the three oriental faces had a habit of talking about things at the wine table.

"It's a pity that this is a military camp, so I can't bring out drinks to entertain everyone."

"No...Actually, there are still minors who are not allowed to drink alcohol."

The rabbi secretly glanced at Snow.

"I'm almost 17."

"But the oriental culture comes of age at 18..."

This time, General Asta brought out a lot of people, nearly 2000 people. He is the commander of the border troops of the Principality of the Rhine, but his vision is very vicious.

When his side's first wave of demon troops appeared on the battlefield, he had a hunch that things might have gotten out of control.

It just so happened that the Black Order sent an envoy to the court to inquire. Although the Rhine family has always been a supporter of the Black Order, he still doesn't know much about the details of the "jihad".

Fortunately, he took the initiative to contact the supporters of the Black Order, learned the relevant information immediately, and realized that the demon army was not a so-called new weapon, but an enemy of mankind.

Therefore, with a keen sense of smell, he immediately withdrew from the battlefield with his remaining troops, and decisively abandoned the two troops that were fighting.

Not long after he withdrew, the demons on the battlefield began to get out of control, and the "new weapons" of both sides began to cooperate, slaughtering the soldiers on the battlefield recklessly.

At the same time, in various towns, from time to time, humans will turn into demons and start killing. There must be many towns along the way, which are occupied by the group of monsters floating in the air.

And there has been no contact with the palace, and the entire army may have been wiped out.

"I didn't expect my father to make such a decision. Perhaps it was because of the elder brother's matter that he couldn't bear the pain, so he made this wrong decision on impulse.

It has caused so much harm to the country and the people. "

Asta hammered the table hard with a painful expression on his face. Now his country is considered to be destroyed, and all his family members have become enemies...

"How much do you know about Beto's situation, General?"

Snow changed the subject, and at the same time he was very puzzled about the cause of the war.

"Beto? I don't know much over there, but the other party did suddenly use the excuse of the assassination of the prince, and then suddenly attacked my border troops, causing our defense line to collapse.

Although a counterattack was also organized later, it was of no avail. The opponent's troops were the first to have those monsters appear. "

"The prince was assassinated?"

The rabbi raised his head. He didn't know about the relevant matters. Snow only knew a little bit from the rumors he had heard. At this moment, the general in front of him said these words again.

Snow narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.

"Forgive me, has the Principality of the Rhine really made a move?"

General Astor fell silent. He understood what the other party meant. After all, no matter how you looked at it, the Rhine side was indeed suspected.

"Anyway, I don't think it's possible. Father is not the kind of person who likes to provoke disputes at will. He also knows what will happen to the crown prince of a country."

General Astor raised his head, firmly defending his father.

"That's it! There is a high probability that the mastermind behind the scenes is directing and acting on their own. Maybe Beto's side has already been infiltrated, or maybe the whole country is full of demons."

Snow nodded, now it is meaningless to discuss the cause of the war, the top priority is to deal with the demons.

General Ashtar nodded bitterly, and sighed deeply.

"That's right! Maybe the Rhine family is the only one left now."

After hearing this, Snow raised his eyebrows suspiciously, as if he said it unintentionally.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that when the incident broke out a few days ago, when I passed the battlefield, I heard that Princess Rhine came to the front line to comfort the soldiers.

General, I wonder if you have heard about "Holy Judgment"? "

After finishing speaking, Snow watched the other party closely from the corner of his eyes, completely ignoring the rabbi who was under the table and was stepping on his toes vigorously.

"Snow, what are you talking about?"

The rabbi shouted wildly from below, he also knew a thing or two about the "Holy Judgment", after all, he is the inheritor of the scholar!

After hearing this, General Astor's face became even more painful, and he said to them in a pleading tone.

"Master exorcists, let's see if the rest of us from the Rhineland can help you. She is just a child, and she has already lost enough.

That is my dearest niece, she has always thought that I am his uncle, if possible, after this war is over, I am willing to give up the right to rebuild the Principality of the Rhine and entrust this land to the religious order for management.

As long as the child can be spared..."

Snow looked a little embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized to the other party with his palms folded.

"General, don't get me wrong, I didn't intend to do anything that would harm that child, I just wanted to see if I could get more from the princess' mouth, after all, she has been living in the palace all along!
In fact, I have always advocated crimes and meritorious service. The importance of intelligence cannot be ignored. If we can reduce our casualties, then I believe that many people will be willing to intercede for the little princess. "
