Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 167 The last carnival
What is even more tragic than the war between Blue Moon Territory and Rose Territory is that the Holy See has not given up on Yusofa.

The entire Yusofa was enveloped by the massive Saint Raymond Purification Array, a supreme "courtesy" offered to those who were approaching the evil spirit. It went beyond mere purification, eradicating everything within it, including any contaminated objects. Hence, it was dubbed the Ultimate Purification Array.

The huge green cage created by Soraya is believed to be part of the evil god.

The Holy See would never allow such a thing to appear under their noses. This is a blasphemy against the God of Tiger.

Li En had to hold an emergency meeting in a heavy atmosphere.

"The treacherous Mary Frank, she not only abandoned the 5 Rose Army and all her knights, she also abandoned you and us!"

Captain Cobb of the Southern Army said angrily that he had actually been resisting the alliance with Mary from the very beginning, but he was very loyal to Lee En, so he had never expressed any opinion. Now Mary's backstabbing made him more certain of his inner thoughts that she was definitely not a reliable ally.

"Lord Li En was busy saving everyone, but she escaped alone and even wanted to kill all of us. This behavior is too despicable."

Alex Poole was also very indignant. "Lord Li En even became blind because of this and will never see the sunrise again."

The cadres of Green Shade Territory denounced Mary's shamelessness, but only Nancy Stuart and Anne knew that this was just Mary's routine operation.

This time she suffered a huge loss, and it was impossible for her not to do something to make up for her loss.

Declaring war on the Blue Moon Territory is the best compensation.

With the support of the Holy See, the war was justified. She no longer needed the blessing of the child in Grace's belly. By the way, she also labeled Catherine and Lor as heretics. The Blue Moon Territory would never belong to the Jackson family again.

"What should we do? Are we going to be trapped here and die? Lord Li En, please think of a solution."

"Send someone to negotiate with the Vatican?"

"Yeah, just make it clear that we've been cleansed. I don't want to die here."

The nobles complained about Mary and begged Li En to find a solution.

"Once the Holy See activates the Saint Raymond Purification Array, it will not accept any negotiations. This is an order that can only be issued by a bishop. The bishop closest to Youssofa is also in the Rose Territory. We cannot communicate with him directly, and the priests will not listen to any of our opinions."

As a diplomat, Alex Poole is very familiar with the Vatican's procedures and emergency response methods.

His words extinguished the nobles' last hope.

"Then what should we do? Lord Li En, you promised us that you would let us leave alive."

"Yes, Lord Li En, we can't die here."

"It's over, it's over, Yusof has been completely abandoned."

"We're all going to die here, all of us."

"Woo woo, I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

The nobles were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Apart from spreading their anxiety, they could not offer any reasonable suggestions. Some even broke down and cried on the spot.

"Who called them here?"

Nancy Stuart, annoyed by their noise, said coldly.

Anderson scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "When I was calling everyone for a meeting, the Viscount and the others saw me and followed me here on their own initiative."

"Anderson, take the Viscount and the others down to rest."

Li En waved his hand, and Anderson and his men immediately took the nobles away. In addition to the native nobles of Yusofa, there were also nobles from the Rose Territory.

A huge group of people were carried away by all kinds of negative emotions.

"Master Li En, you must find a way!"

Li En waved his hand again, and the nobles quickly disappeared from the conference room.

"What's going on now?"

Lee En asks Nancy Stuart about how, after being blinded, Nancy temporarily became his eyes.

This former Rose Thorn Butler possesses wisdom and vision no less than Anna's.

"The outskirts of Yusofa, from Clayton to Douglas, have been eroded by Saint Raymond's purification array. Blueberry Manor will soon fall as well."

“How fast is the erosion happening?”

"In less than three hours, the erosion will reach Black Rose Castle."

The Black Rose Castle is located in the center of Yusofa and is the last place the formation arrives at, but the Blueberry Manor is not so lucky. Although Li En rescued the maids inside, he did not settle them in the Black Rose Castle. The nobles also continued to stay in their own manors. As for Mary's 5 troops, they were placed in an open-air cage on Yusofa Square.

"We should gather everyone in the Black Rose Castle and contact Grand Duke Moria as soon as possible. He is the only one who can save us now."

Nancy Stuart offered what she believed to be the only possible solution.

Ask for help from Grand Duke Moria.

Nancy Stuart believed that actions like directly wiping out a territory from the Holy Empire were not something that an ordinary bishop could decide, at least not the archbishop. The archbishop's decision was a consensus reached after the resolution of the Holy See. Only the archbishop himself or the pope could overturn the result of the Holy See's resolution. Among all the people Li En knew, only Grand Duke Moria had the status to influence the decisions of the archbishop and the pope.

"We are trapped here now. How can we contact Grand Duke Moria?"

Alex Poole sighed.

He was not the only one who thought so. Most people at the scene thought that Nancy's advice was a fantasy.

They are now trapped in Yusofa, where even a fly can't fly out. How can they ask Grand Duke Moria for help?

"Cobb, do as Nancy said first and gather everyone at the Black Rose Castle."

Lee En said to Cobb.

Cobb saluted and carried out the order immediately.

He had just reached the door when he seemed to have encountered a question. He turned around and asked, "Master Li En, are those crazy people from the Rose Army also going to move over here?"

"Well, the dungeon of Black Rose Castle should be fine if we squeeze in."

"Do your will."

Cobb leaves with his subordinates.

"Even then, we can only hold out for three hours at most."

Alex Poole said in despair, "It doesn't matter if we all die here. Can you find a way to send Lord Li En away? Green Shade Territory cannot do without you."

"It's useless. Saint Raymond's purification array has been activated. No one can escape unless someone sabotages it from outside and eliminates the four high priests who set up the array."

Nancy Stuart shook her head. Even with her knowledge, she couldn't think of a way to send Li En away alone.

Li En is not a succubus.

If it were Inna, she could find a way to escape from the dream world.

So in theory, Inna and Nancy Stuart didn't need to accompany Li En to death.

But Nancy Stuart would not tell this method. No matter how many times she was given the choice, she would stand by Li En.

"Can any creature survive the Saint Raymond Purification Array?"

Li En asked slowly.

In fact, he has adopted Nancy's first plan, wanting to beg his grandfather, Grand Duke Moria, whom he has never met, in his dream, but he still has to prepare for the worst. What if Grand Duke Moria is unwilling to lend a helping hand this time?
No one could have predicted such a thing, as there was no affection between him and Grand Duke Moria.

Putting your hopes on others is itself a very hopeless thing.

So Li En needed a backup plan.

Nancy Stuart was lost in thought, as if she were reminiscing.

Anne, who had been silent all this time, suddenly thought of something. It was Li En who gave her inspiration.
"I heard that three hundred years ago, a village of vampires survived the Saint Raymond Purification Array, and 33 vampires were unharmed."

"That's just a legend, not recorded in official books."

Nancy Stuart reminded her. Anne lowered her head in frustration.

"Tell me about this legend."

Li En said.

Nancy Stuart was slightly stunned. She also knew that in the current situation, any useful information could not be ignored.

She told Li En the legend in detail.

"Over three hundred years ago, a nation emerged on the southern continent, contaminated by an evil god. All its citizens believed in the evil god. To destroy this nation and save the entire southern continent, the Holy Empire Alliance mobilized all the forces of the Church and carried out a massive Saint Raymond Purification. As a result, the nation was completely annihilated, leaving only a small village behind.

"Legend has it that the people living in this village are all vampires, and the reason they were able to avoid Saint Raymond's purification is that after the Saint Raymond purification array began to operate, they hid in the coffins that had been prepared long ago and went into a complete hibernation. After the Saint Raymond purification array ended, their coffins were dug out, and they were able to see the light of day again and wake up again.

"But this story is not recognized by the Holy See. The Holy See believes that this is a false story created by the vampires to promote their own strength and deliberately discredit the Holy See.

"The Holy See believes that the Saint Raymond Purification Array is perfect. No living creature can survive under the formation, let alone vampires whose bloodlines are already contaminated."

After hearing this story, Li En was thoughtful.

There are ways to verify the authenticity of the story.

His current physical condition is quite special, very close to that of a vampire, and in theory he can also put himself in a state of complete dormancy.

Moreover, he also possesses the ability of the First Embrace. If things develop to the point where he has no other choice, he may have no choice but to choose this extreme method.

Lee En looked at his subordinates through the entry vision, including Nancy Stuart, Anne, Alex Poole, Anderson, Crowley, Jerry, and Cobb who had just left. These were all people who were loyal to Lee En.

They all have the right to choose.

"I want to ask you a question now. If transforming into a vampire can help you survive this crisis, are you willing to follow me and give up your human identity?"

Lee En asked.

Everyone looked at Li En in surprise.

"I am willing!"

Anderson was the first to express his stance, "As long as I can still follow you, I am willing to become anything."

"I...I would too."

Alex Poole said hesitantly that he didn't have any children yet, and from this point of view alone, he seemed a little sorry for his ancestors.

"We would like that too."

As they expressed their opinions one by one, Li En nodded slightly.

"Hopefully we never have to get to this point."

Li En said dejectedly that this step could only be considered as a last resort that would only be attempted in the most desperate circumstances, because no one knew whether it would be useful, and it was very likely that everyone would die together in Yusofa.

"Now, everyone, go and rest. Before I tell you, you can still enjoy your last moments together. Eat whatever you want, drink whatever you want, take a bath, play cards, dance, drink, and party to your heart's content. Don't leave any regrets."

Li En smiled and said, "Don't look so sad. At least we are still together, right?"

"Yes, I feel honored to die with Lord Li En. At least we haven't been truly polluted and degenerated into monsters in the wasteland."

Crowley, the usually taciturn captain of the Western Guard, said this with a serious face.

"It is a soldier's honor to die with Lord Li En."

Jerry from the Survey Corps saluted Lee Eun.

"I am willing to follow Master Li En forever."

Anderson's eyes moistened.

Not only Anderson, but also Alex Poole and others had red eyes.

This may be their last carnival.

Because Li En was blind, he couldn't see the tears of the crowd, which made him feel less depressed.

"Go, and don't show up until I summon you."

Li En waved his hand.

Everyone left the meeting room, including Anne and Nancy Stuart.

They knew that Li En must have his reasons for not letting them stay.

After everyone left, Anne closed the door from the outside and waited outside.

She was not in the mood to party, and even if she wanted to, it had to be with Li En.

Nancy Stuart thought the same as she did, so she stood silently beside Anne.

The two smiled at each other, and all the previous conflicts seemed to have disappeared at this moment.

"Do you have any regrets?"

Nancy Stuart asked.

"I missed Anna. Fortunately, she didn't come to Youssoufa with me."

Anne said.

Nancy Stuart handed her a mirror,
"You saw her."

Annie was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "That's great. I can die with Master Li En. Anna will be jealous of me."

"Not only Anna, but also Li En's fiancée Catherine, the witch named Sophie, the witch of disease Dora, and those noble girls who dream of marrying Li En, they will all envy you."

Nancy Stuart soothed.

"that's right."

Anne's mouth curled up slightly. "But I still hope he can make me a cup of coffee before I die."

"You are such a rebellious maid. I think Li En will satisfy you."

"I also wish I could step on him and put a collar on him."

"Forehead……"

Although there was a door between them, Li En could still hear it clearly.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. She was indeed the most rebellious maid. When did she start fantasizing about becoming her own master?
Li En stroked Inna's furry head. This third-generation succubus could no longer transform back into human form since being contaminated by the evil god.

But during the day, she is still a soft and cute little girl.

"Teacher, do you want me to bring Grand Duke Moria into your dream?"

"can you do it?"

"I can try, but I need something with his scent on it."

"Well, he gave me a sword as a gift."

Li En took out Enzo.

Inna sniffed the sword and the cat's head nodded. "I may not be able to hold on for much longer."

"It's okay, just do your best, it only takes me half an hour."

Inna stretched out her furry paws in grievance.

"Ten minutes max."
