The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 50 My Heart
"One illusion—the worm of the world..."

A demon bound by a barrier in the air, like a piece of tofu, was easily split from it, and the cut surface was like smooth glass.

Kanda fell from the air, and then wiped away the black blood splashed on his face with his thumb.

In the houses around him, one or two circular demons would float up from time to time, and then explode into a ball of sparks very quickly.

Occasionally, Level 2 guys can be found, but these stragglers are not a big threat to the black church that has gathered into a fist.

The only troublesome thing is that the number of opponents is too large, and they are more scattered. The three troops of the Black Order have been fighting for three days in a row, and many people are already feeling tired.

Even the marshal is no exception...

"Marshal Ilka, the northern block has been cleaned up, this should be the last demon."

Kanda retracted [Six Fantasy] into his scabbard, then returned to the center of the army, and said his head to the old man standing on a carriage.

The other party was the [elder] Marshal Ilka. Even the indifferent and unruly Kanda was full of respect for the elder in the carriage.

The old marshal, who was over [-] years old, looked older than before. The opponent hadn't closed his eyes for three consecutive days, and he was always fighting on the front line.

And among the troops under his command, its casualties were also the lowest. The old marshal almost coordinated all the work in every detail.

"Kanda! Thank you for your hard work..."

"No... I'm fine, but you really need to take a good rest. The Black Order cannot afford to lose your existence."

"This is too much, I am just an ordinary exorcist, I just want to save more innocent souls...

By the way, is there any new news from the Generalissimo? "

Marshal Ilka's face could not hide the tired look, and the successive battles made him feel that he had really reached the age of losing to time.

I don't know how much contribution he can make to mankind in his lifetime?

"some……"

The intelligence search team on the carriage listened to his words and hurriedly responded.

"The Grand Marshal's latest order tells us to stop in front of Rhine City and not enter the city. The Grand Marshal deduces that the main force of demons may be lurking in the city.

The decisive battle should be there, but the troops have been fighting continuously for several days recently, and the generalissimo hopes to give everyone a day to rest. "

Speaking of this, the search team hesitated for a moment, and then said in a tone of grief that could not be concealed.

"At the same time...all the latest information from the Principality...has been completely destroyed, with a population of more than [-] people..."

Beto was completely destroyed, the buildings and facilities were second to none, mainly the population, and the royal city had completely turned into a dead city.

The surrounding small towns and villages were also raided crazily, and only a small number of lucky ones managed to survive.

These small principalities near the Suez Canal do not occupy a large area and are small in size. The country with the largest population does not exceed [-].

But... that's close to [-] living lives.

At the same time, all the demons that destroyed the principality were nowhere to be found. Apart from leaving behind a desolate and desolate land, the members of the religious order who went to investigate did not find any traces of demons.

Therefore, the church suspected that the demon created by Beto was likely to be sent into the Rhine City.

As far as the army is concerned, investigators have been dispatched to sneak in many times, but unfortunately there is no shred of information, and there is a high probability that they are already dead.

"In Rhine City! As long as all the demons entrenched there are wiped out, peace will be restored in this land.

I think there must be a lot of people inside, are you finally planning to fight us head-on? "

Marshal Ilka sighed deeply, then waved his hands to signal his troops to prepare for camping.

In all the advance operations, the demon side has never gathered in one place to seek a decisive battle. The strategic intention of the other side is obvious, which is guerrilla warfare and the strategy of exhausting the enemy.

And they are extremely good at hiding in the crowd.

To be honest, this disgusted the people of the Black Order. Many casualties were caused by not recognizing and reacting immediately.

…………

"By the way, Sarah, I've always wanted to remind you. I think we should pay attention to that General Astor."

"What's up with him?"

After Sarah circled the Rhine City on the map with a red pen, she asked absent-mindedly.

Snow thought for a while, and simply repeated what those adjutants had said to him before, as well as his own doubts.

"I don't think that guy is a hero, but more like a conspirator... Maybe this tragedy was caused by his own self-interest."

"Oh, it's really troublesome...Snow sauce, do you have evidence?"

Snow shook his head and replied regretfully.

"No, it's just speculation, but at present, this speculation is still tenable. After all, General Astor has become the biggest beneficiary now."

Sarah nodded in agreement, but her expression was rather strange, as if she didn't care about what Snow said.

"Yeah! Everyone can see he's the biggest beneficiary! But does anyone care?"

Snow froze for a moment, as if he didn't understand what she meant.

But looking at Sarah's unwavering eyes, and Asta's performance all the time, he suddenly felt that he might have overlooked something.

After thinking about it carefully, a chill came to his heart.

That's right, he could guess that there was something wrong with Astor. With the screening mechanism of the Black Order, after selecting the other party as a supporter, how could he not have discovered the problem.

"So it's like this... Is it the idea of ​​those big people above?"

The Black Order generally does not judge criminal acts within the scope of human society, and they are about to win this war, and the elimination of the demons in it is the best result.

And Astor, as the spokesperson they supported in this battle, will distribute a steady stream of benefits to them in the future.

At the same time, they also gained a staunch supporter on this canal, and the radiating range of the influence of the Black Order has become wider, firmly pinching the main channel connecting the three continents.

Sarah was right, no one cared anymore.

Although Astor is the culprit, the Black Order has already got what they want, and they are comparing what they will get in the future...so they don't care.

Rhine doesn't care, because they have harvested a new king and a hero, and the days to come will get better and better.

Beto didn't care about anyone, because everyone who cared was dead.

"But we are exorcists... The Black Order exists for the continuation of mankind."

Snow said with some difficulty, this world is really realistic enough.

"It is for the continuation of mankind that there is such a helpless choice."

Sarah's tone was a little indifferent. In fact, she already knew about Astor's problems, which had already been settled in the central hall.

Because the intelligence department of the Black Order is pervasive, it is not particularly difficult to investigate the cause of a prince's death.

The central hall of the Black Order saw things from a different angle than their general exorcists. The exorcists were fighting on the front line. They could see the tragedy of the ruined families and the pain of those whose souls were bound.

So they will care more about everyone and know how difficult life is.

But the upper echelons of the Black Order don't care about this, and they don't have empathy.

Headed by the aging Pope, the casualties of human society will only be presented in front of them with a number.

They have never faced the tragedies encountered by people who turned into demons, and they only look at the problem from a higher and macroscopic position.

Support the spokesperson, control the canal basin, connect three continents...

This increase in the strength of the Black Order will be permanent, which is one of the important foundations for the upcoming victory of the full-scale jihad.

Therefore, in their eyes, even though it was Astor's fault as a butterfly that caused this tragedy, there is a follow-up "make up"

Then they wouldn't punish him too much. After all, in some people's opinion, the other party's actions even gave the Black Order a chance.

"That's a total of nearly 40 people. It's because of that guy's selfish desire that things have become like this. Shouldn't he be punished?

Even so, why does a guy like Asta sit there now, and why does he get such a status? "

Snow felt that since the matter was so absurd, the culprit of the tragedy...to be precise, the fuse, became the biggest beneficiary afterwards.

Sarah's face became a little impatient.

"Yeah, almost 40, but so what? After the jihad broke out, the human death will be more than 400 million, 4000 million.

Once the great flood led by the Earl of Millennium comes to the world, how many human casualties will there be?

[-] million?Four billion?In contrast..."

"so what?"

Snow's eyes widened, he didn't expect the other party to say such words.

"What about you... Sarah, don't you care?"

He felt a little uncomfortable, but he was powerless to change, and what made him feel most uncomfortable was the indifference that Sarah showed for the first time.

That's right, as the Generalissimo, how could she not know these things?
Maybe the problem with Astor was put on the table of the five marshals early on, and if the other party can get this kind of ending, maybe Sarah also cast a key vote in it.

"Me? I shouldn't care.

Rather than dwelling on the useless past that has happened, it is a wiser choice to focus on the future. Astor...he is a very important pawn.

It has been predicted above that a full-scale jihad will soon come, and the importance of the Suez Canal to the Black Order to connect all continents is beyond doubt. "

For a long time, the aristocrats have actually been very disgusted with the pope's involvement in their interest chain in the name of theocracy, which once made the upper echelons of the black order feel very distressed.

The demons are already under great pressure, but the obstacles from the human noble class make it impossible for them to quickly integrate the resources and power of the entire world.

Because overall, the Black Order still has to lurk beneath the waters of public perception.

At the same time, the central hall insists that only those who have followed the oracle can lead mankind to the final victory in the holy war.

And this group of aristocrats who are fighting on their own will only take care of their own small family property of one-third of an acre of land.

The Black Order also secretly contacted some great nobles behind their backs. They have clearly stated the truth of the jihad to them, and properly confirmed the existence and harm of demons to them.

However, many of their efforts are still resisted and resisted by the noble class, which can be reflected even in many franchise countries.

For example, the group of guys in the Principality of the Rhine, even the Grand Duke himself voluntarily degenerated into a demon, obviously he knew what consequences this would have.

Therefore, the strength of this group of nobles cannot be trusted at all, and no matter how many people die, they are not worthy of pity. Rather, they have cleared the obstacles for the Black Order to pave the way for the Holy War.

At this time, Asta is undoubtedly a very good opportunity, not to mention that the opponent still took the initiative to join him and became a pawn willingly.

There are many coronation countries authorized by the Pope, but only this time Astor's promise and concession to the Black Order is the biggest.

He is willing to give up his country's garrison and replace all the search troops of the Black Order.

In addition, he is a local local snake, and he can carry out reconstruction work faster and smoother in the canal basin, which is also more popular among the people.

So from the perspective of the central hall, Astor just made a "small" mistake.

Although this mistake triggered a big chain reaction, in any case, the ending can satisfy many parties.

It's not that the Black Order didn't think about airborne a faithful follower of God to take charge of this place, but they must consider the energy and time spent in this process.

So no matter which aspect it is, the candidate of Astor perfectly fits all the needs of the Black Order, everything.

After hearing what the other party said, Snow fell silent. He felt a little sad. Although Sarah always gave him a headache, to him, this woman was also one of her most important "family members".

but now……

"Sarah... I feel very sad if you are like this!"

Snow lowered his head, opened the car door a little sluggishly, and left. He felt that he needed to take a good rest now.

That's nearly 40 people.

Snow actually wanted to ask Sarah, would you care if I was there?
But he held back in the end, because he was still kind of terrified of getting that half-scary answer.

"Maybe, I'm really just a doll in your hands."

Si Nuo sat by the car and sighed deeply, the world is really scrambled.

Sarah, on the other hand, still stood at that position, watching Snow walk out without saying a word, her eyes looked a little cold and hollow.

After a while, her lips moved slightly, but the voice was very low, the kind that could not be heard at all if you didn't put your ear to your lips.

"Although there are 40 people, no one cares now, and I don't care, but if you are among them...do you think so?

Of course I will care...Snow...you are mine, no one can take it away, only my [Heart]"
