So I'm a sheep.

No way?

The demons have once again ravaged the city, and this time they did it on their own territory!

Cutting yourself? What kind of operation is that?

"The devil is ruthless; I have no doubt he'd attack his own city. But this shouldn't be the time!"

"That's right, the gates of purgatory will only open after a blood sacrifice in nine cities. What's the point of him doing this?"

"If he indiscriminately kills his own people, no one will want to work for him."

"If the news is true, then the Black Hand Brotherhood is about to experience a huge upheaval."

"This is our chance!"

Sasha frowned. She was just as confused as Simon the Devil. The little girl was equally bewildered by Simon the Devil's big move.

'Don't you know the church is about to go to war with you? What good would it do to cause internal turmoil at this time?'

Once, the devil held the victory in his hands; he could look down on the church and ignore precious opportunities to slaughter villages and enjoy himself first.

But things are different now!

The Church had a high chance of winning the upcoming battle. Despite being the weaker party, it deliberately sabotaged itself at this crucial moment.

The more the girl thought about it, the more bizarre the whole thing seemed.

"Regardless of what that demon is thinking, Winnie, what's your second piece of information?"

"Before each massacre, the demon would bury seven wooden pegs in the city."

"With each blood sacrifice, the seven wooden nails gradually became stained with ominous blood."

"My angel, I believe those seven wooden pegs are the key to opening the gates of purgatory!"

The wooden pegs that open the gates of purgatory? This is truly crucial information.

"Winnie, are the positions of the seven wooden pegs fixed?"

"It's not fixed, but I remember the locations where that demon planted the wooden stakes a few times before."

"Can you draw the general outline of each city and mark the locations of the seven wooden pegs buried on it?"

"no problem!"

..........................................................

"Thank you very much for providing such valuable information."

Late at night, the little girl personally escorted Winnie out of the church.

"Is it alright to go back at this time?"

"It's okay. Except during wartime, I'm usually quite free."

"Okay, you can take this gem."

The little girl placed a ruby ​​in Winnie's hand: "It's too dangerous for you to sneak out and provide us with intelligence before every battle. You can use this to contact the church remotely."

"Great!"

Winnie looked delighted: "Lady Sasha, I will always keep this gem with me."

The little girl smiled and nodded: "Winnie, have a safe trip, and I look forward to seeing you again."

"..."

"Lady Sasha, now that we have this gem, then we will never meet again."

Winnie's eyes were filled with determination: "Today is the first and last time we'll meet!"

“Winnie…”

The little girl understood Winnie's realization, and a pang of sadness welled up in her heart.

"I'm so happy to meet you!"

"Lady Sasha, it's a pleasure to meet you too."

With their hands clasped tightly, Winnie pleaded for the umpteenth time, "Please, please defeat that demon."

"I promise I will win!"

...................................................

The following day, the church received confirmation that the demon Simon had massacred the city.

The Black Hand Brotherhood's leader has once again spread fear throughout the world, but this time, the demons have finally suffered the consequences of that fear.

"The president has completely lost his mind. If this continues, the executioner's blade could fall on our heads any day now!"

"They'll even kill their own people..."

I won't work for a madman!

"Let's just turn against the Black Hand Brotherhood and switch sides to the Church of Dawn."

Before the war even started, the church had already received a series of 'pleas for help' from enemy territory.

"Is the enemy calling for help? It feels so strange."

Zorn's expression was strange; he probably never dreamed such a day would come.

Should we send troops to rescue them?

"They are enemies too; it's best if dogs fight each other."

"The Black Hand Brotherhood is in disarray. Should we postpone our operation and wait until they've finished their internal strife before making our move?"

“No, this is not a good idea. This is the most difficult time for Demon Simon. We can’t wait until he recovers before we make our move.”

The bishops had differing opinions; some argued that the church should remain neutral at this time and not concern itself with the letters of appeal.

Some, however, believe this is a golden opportunity, and that the church, with its internal and external forces, can completely defeat the devil.

Pope Zorn was undecided, feeling that both sides had valid points.

Finally, everyone looked at the little girl.

"Lady Sasha, what do you think?"

"Of course we must send troops! We cannot let the devils get away with this!"

Sasha said seriously, "Which of these guys who asked us for help has the biggest power?"

"Ralph from the Nubian region, the number three figure in the Black Hand Brotherhood, is currently being besieged by the army of the demon Simon."

"Reply to him that the church's reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Lady Sasha..."

One of the bishops said hesitantly, "Ralph has committed numerous evils and is an absolute villain."

“Ralph is a villain, but the ordinary people living in Nubia are innocent.”

The young girl said calmly, "Besides, I didn't say we'd just let him go. We'll have plenty of time to settle accounts with him after we deal with the demon."

Sasha waited a while, and seeing that no one objected, she said, "The church army will advance into the Nubian region first thing tomorrow morning. Everyone, prepare for war!"

Volume 1: Chapter 65 Archangel

"Hold on, the church's reinforcements are on their way!"

"Surrendering means certain death anyway, so killing one to take down another, or even two, is a huge win!"

"Persistence is victory, as long as... uh, wait, wait until..."

The man who had been desperately trying to encourage the soldiers staggered and collapsed, the dull drumbeats almost suffocating.

Another general fell inexplicably, and the soldiers, gripped by extreme fear, descended into madness.

"Where are you, you damned demon?!"

"The devil never spares those who surrender! Kill them!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

Through the familiar's eyes, Simon noticed the enemy's unusual behavior.

After so many commanders died, the opposing army was in complete disarray.

Even so, the soldiers continued to fight individually and stubbornly persisted in their resistance.

"Damn Ralph, you traitor, where are you hiding?!"

The crow circled in the sky, its gaze sweeping over the few remaining commanders, but it couldn't find that wretched fellow.

"Hmph, instead of commanding an army, you dress up as an ordinary soldier and fight on the battlefield?"

The demon's face grew even more ferocious: "It doesn't matter, as long as you kill all the resisting soldiers, you will naturally die as well."

"Ok?"

At that moment, the crow's eyes caught sight of a new entrant.

"They came so fast..."

.................................................. ...

"Hmm, the familiar drumbeat."

Knowing that the demon Simon was on the battlefield, the little girl was not surprised but delighted.

"Perfect opportunity to test my current strength."

Sasha looked up, her eyes fixed on a certain point in the sky.

A short while later, an unusually large crow 'happened' to fly by.

A smile unconsciously appeared on her lips. In the past, she had found it very difficult to influence this crow with extraordinary powers.

'The crow has been caught, so...'

The demon, who was waving his drumsticks, suddenly changed his expression. In the darkness, he felt himself being locked onto by a terrifying force.

It's that brat!
