Elden: Ring of Calamity

Chapter 468 Edmure
Edmur looked at the row of curvaceous women in front of him, their clothes half-covered, and a hint of annoyance appeared in his bloodshot eyes.

"Change another batch!" The eunuch who was serving beside him immediately caught his master's impatience and hurriedly called out.

The group of carefully dressed women retreated in shock, and another group was replaced. Unlike the companions who were giants and transformed into human forms, several of them were real humans, and were noble women captured when the North fell.

After indulging in lust for many days, it was difficult for ordinary giant women to arouse the interest of the Holy Son. The eunuch Colifus, who had recently been promoted to the head of the temple's internal affairs, had long noticed his master's increasingly depressed mood, and deliberately arranged those former compatriots and even acquaintances into the sequence of sleeping with him.

Although he knew very well that given the nature of this Son of God, he would most likely partially manifest his true form and unleash his power when he was in power, several giant women had their waists twisted by him a few days ago, and the rest would often not survive for more than three days even if they did not die at the time. If it were a human with a more fragile body, the consequences can be imagined - but he did not care.

When the city of Odysseus was breached by the Eastern Giants, Viscount Colifos, then the Archon of Odysseus, thought that his life would come to an abrupt end. Fortunately, his sharp judgment of the situation played a role in time. He gave out several bunkers, secret passages, underground warehouse entrances, and led the giant army to hunt down the remnants of mankind in exchange for a chance to evolve into a fourth-generation giant.

After becoming a giant, he had been following Laias, the guard of Odysseus, as his aide. Although Laias embarrassed him by calling him a bastard to his face more than once, Collyphos didn't care.

The powerful strength of the fourth generation of giants is real, and the unstoppable rise of the Giant Dynasty is also real. Being able to board this big ship one day earlier is already a blessing that ordinary people can hardly achieve. Does he still have to blame the helmsman for not being kind enough to him?

But what he didn't expect was that Laias died at the hands of Lucia in less than three months. When the city was broken, he created chaos by shouting that Laias was dead, and took the opportunity to escape all the way north, becoming one of the very few survivors who escaped from the Northern Expedition Army.

After that, he changed his masters again and again in the turmoil of war, and used his keen judgment and the intelligence he had at the time to climb higher and higher steps by stepping on the corpses of his masters. He lost a lot for this, including his qualifications as a man, but he still didn't care.

Given his background, he would never have the chance to enter the Falling Star Temple in his entire life in perfect condition. However, not only did he do it, he also became the most trusted internal affairs director of the next Giant King. Now it seems that the word "next" will be removed soon. What else does he have to complain about?
Act according to the times and be content with what you have - this creed runs through Collyphos' life. As for those who cursed him until their death because of his misfortune, they should blame the cruel giants and their own weakness. What does their life and death have to do with him?
"Uncle Colifos!" Among the women who were sent in, a human girl who looked only fifteen or sixteen years old rubbed her eyes and exclaimed in disbelief.

"I am Linte, the daughter of the Kwhiya family, your distant niece. We met last year!"

Colifus's face was as gloomy as iron. Just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, he saw the Son of God's bloodshot eyes turned to him with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Lord Colifus might have sent the wrong person. Why did he send his own daughter to me?"

With a thud, Colifus fell to his knees on the spot, his face red with excitement, and he said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I am guilty!"

Edmur was rarely interested. He took a sip of wine from his glass and asked, "What crime?"

"I dare to say that since the setback at the front, Your Highness has been worried and depressed all day long. I am worried that Your Highness will be ill in the long run. Unfortunately, I am really stupid. I racked my brains and could only think of some ways to make you relax. Although giant women are of noble status, they are not as considerate as human women, so I want to find a few for Your Highness."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Edmur's eyes turned cold. "You said I was guilty when I was clearly innocent. Are you trying to curry favor with me by taking advantage of my young age and ignorance?"

This question immediately frightened Colifus so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed several times, his legs trembling as he said, "Your Highness is wise and powerful, how dare I have such an overstepping thought! I was selfish for a moment and actually tried to secretly fill in my own relatives on the list to seek advancement with Your Highness. Please forgive me! I will never dare to do it again!"

"Oh, I don't think you would dare!"

Edmur drank the wine in one gulp, threw down the cup and said, "Get up! I am just teasing you because you are loyal!"

Colifus stood up trembling. Although his heartbeat was violent and sweat was on his forehead, his triangular eyes kept twitching. He glanced at the girl's expression of astonishment and fear, and then glanced at Edmur with disdain in his heart.

Humans have long played out this trick of combining kindness and force, and I am also playing the trick of a wise ruler and loyal ministers to amuse you. Normally, the elders call me the Son of Heaven and Your Highness, and they take themselves seriously.

These giants, apart from their strength, were nothing more than a group of uncivilized beasts. "Come! Sit over here!" Edmur dismissed the other women and asked the girl named Linte to sit close to him and pour him wine.

Lint bit her pale lips, cast a look of extreme resentment at Colifos, silently walked to Edmur's side, knelt on the ground, and held the wine jug with trembling hands.

Having been in the prisoner camp for so long, more and more of her relatives and friends were taken away by giants, but no one had ever come back alive. She had already guessed her fate before coming here. The only unexpected thing was meeting Uncle Colifos here. But now it seems that this only coincidence is the inevitable cause of her death.

Whether out of fear or anger, her palm trembled, and a few drops of wine splashed out of the glass and fell on Edmur.

At that moment, Lint's heart almost exploded.

I thought I would be torn to pieces by the other party on the spot, or at least be severely tortured. But he just stared at the wine with drunken eyes and didn't say a word for a long time.

"Your Highness?" After a long time, Colifos called softly.

"Oh——" Edmur came back to his senses, his eyes fell on his clothes that were wet with wine, and he slapped Lint to the ground with angrily!
"You can't even do such a small thing. The elders are right. Humans are really useless trash!" He scolded, "Get out of the way. I will deal with you later!"

What the hell, he was just distracted for a moment, and he was too tired these days. Even with the help of medicinal wine, it would take a while for him to get interested. Who knew that this bitch would make him angry in such a short time.

If he hadn't spared her for the sake of Colifus, based on his usual temper, he would have immediately torn the bitch to pieces and fed her to the dogs.

Linte covered her cheeks and reluctantly retreated to another room to wait. From the moment she stood up until she left, she forced herself not to cry out.

"Sir Colliforth—"

Seeing Edmur looking at him with his angry eyes again, Colifus was really panicked.

Once this kind of pervert loses his mind, it's not surprising what he does in the next second.

"Your Highness, please give your orders." He tried to make his voice sound calm, but his soul was still so cold that it seemed like it was completely frozen.

"You know what? Angmar should be back today."

Angmar.?

Colifus was stunned for a moment, then quickly remembered that this was the word "big horse" in the ancient giant language.

Before Calleleus' defeat, this title had not been heard for a long time, even in this harem.

Edmur did not explain to him, but continued to speak to himself: "The elders said that he had lost the battle, and all the nobles of the Holy Land would not tolerate him. He will soon give up the throne to me. Do you think he will agree?"
