I'm a fox girl, I took over the job of the Night Demon Queen

273. I am a mother, not some shitty hero

Academy City and Kule City are only a hundred miles apart, so it doesn't take too much time for Yu Jianglan. On the way, she also found refugees who were retreating slowly to ask about the situation. Lucy did not lie to her. The remnants of Academy City were indeed withdrawing in this direction.

"Enemy attack!"

After encountering a sudden attack by the demons, the remaining people were already like frightened birds. They immediately became alert when they saw the flash of light. Fortunately, a faculty member in the academy recognized Jiang Lan and thus a conflict was avoided.

The attack by the demons was unexpected but hasty. The throughput of the gate is always limited, and it is impossible to transport too many demons at one time. When they found something wrong, the top leaders immediately made the right decision and abandoned the city to cover the people's escape. Most of the casualties were soldiers, and the civilians and children in the school did not suffer too much harm, but even so, people were panicked.

It would be impossible not to panic after such a disaster.

The city of Kule is not very big and the number of people it can accommodate is limited. Most people set up tents and wooden houses outside the city to rest temporarily.

"The headmistress was very surprised to know that you came back and wanted to see you immediately."

Following behind my colleague, I followed her to discuss matters with the headmistress of the kindergarten as we walked through the camp. Many students did not have the ability to go to the battlefield, so they were doing logistical work. Among them were some familiar faces who had come to her class. They came up to say hello when they saw her. Behind their forced smiles, they were filled with fatigue and confusion.

They are also innocent boys and girls like the three little ones. A touch of pity passed through Jiang Lan's heart.

Pursing his lips, as a stranger who had nothing to do with this world, the originally impartial balance seemed to be slightly tilted.

"That's it. I still have a lot of things to take care of, so I'll leave first."

"Well, thanks, what's wrong?"

After thanking him, Jiang Lan saw that the colleague who led the way did not leave, but looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, so she asked in doubt.

"Well, the headmistress is in a very bad state. Her son and daughter-in-law died at the city gate while covering everyone's retreat. Although the headmistress didn't show any sadness afterwards, she must have buried everything. So if she said anything bad, I hope you can ignore it and obey her more."

do you died?

She was close to the head teacher, and her son and daughter-in-law had also visited her home. Jiang Lan had a good impression of them. They were both very upright and gentle people.

Jiang Lan nodded to show his understanding, but just said.

"I try my best."

She had a general idea of ​​what the director was going to say, but the decision would not be changed.

So, just try your best.

Knocked on the cabin door.

"I'm in."

After giving a reminder, Jiang Lan heard a click as she entered the room. The headmaster was putting the photo frame in his hand on the table and shifting his eyes to the documents to cover it up.

But she couldn't fool anyone, and realizing this, she forced a smile, but it didn't look kind in any way.

"You know everything, right? The invasion of the demons was too unexpected, and the location was also unreasonable. Other countries and forces are sending reinforcements, but distant water cannot quench thirst. Brave Jiang Lan, we need your..."

"Which city is Yazi in now?"

Not wanting the headmaster to finish everything, Jiang Lan interrupted her, the meaning was already completely clear.

"Don't worry about Ayako's safety. Isn't Winnie here? She will protect her. I wanted to call you back from Mona in the first place, and now is the perfect time. With you, we will be more confident in stopping the expansion of the demons. Now is the time to contribute to the safety of the continent, to protect the millions of people, and to protect the children in the academy."

"Director, you know."

Jiang Lan has never been good at playing power games. She knows the identities of her daughters as demons, and the headmaster knows it too. So she can guess why the demons chose the unreasonable location of Academy City to open the gate, and the headmaster can also guess it.

"Ako has Winnie."

Jiang Lan bit her lip, feeling a little surprised. Even at this time, he still had to pretend to be ignorant and trick her into staying to fight the demons for her. No matter how much admiration and respect she had for her in the past, it was all gone now.

"That's why I'm going."

Not only Yazi, but also Winnie, the two people she cares about are facing desperate situations. How could she remain indifferent?

"The devil is heading towards where my daughter and wife are. I'm afraid something has happened to them, so tell me, where are they?"

"Daughter, daughter, how come you still don't understand even at this point!"

Jiang Lan questioned the headmistress, and the headmistress couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at her.

In the past, she had indulged Jiang Lan in adopting three daughters of the devil, but now he was still obsessed with it and she could not tolerate it any longer.

"It is precisely because of their existence that the demons launched the war so hastily and chose to open the gate above Academy City."

See, isn't this clear? Jiang Lan's eyes became even colder as he clenched his fists.

Naturally, the head teacher noticed her emotions, and she became even more furious. The pain of losing her son made it even more difficult for her to reason rationally. In her grief and anger, she spoke out the truth that was buried deep in her heart but was often kept secret.

"The three you regard as your daughters are not your flesh and blood at all. They are the children of the devil, the children of sin. The cause of the current evil consequences also comes from them. They are witches, and you are a hero. What you need to do is to protect the lives of the people on the continent. Let go, they are not of my kind..."

Bang!

The unfinished words were rudely interrupted. Jiang Lan grabbed the director's collar and pressed her hard against the wall of the wooden house, leaving her suspended in the air, making a loud noise.

"They are humans, foxes, dragons, and my daughters. They are not demons. If they are, then I am one too!"

Jiang Lan panted heavily, his voice like a wild beast.

"Director, what happened?"

The loud noise startled the people outside. They hurriedly opened the door and saw Jiang Lan, with his hair standing on end and his teeth bared, and his pupils erect, violently attacking the director. They immediately drew their weapons and pointed them at Jiang Lan.

"You... ahem, get out."

Although Jiang Lan was angry and didn't use all her strength, the director turned his head with difficulty and waved his hands outward to ask them to retreat.

"But Director, you..."

"go out!"

"......Yes."

The director was in Jiang Lan's hands and knew Jiang Lan's abilities well. Knowing that there was nothing they could do, they could only retreat, presumably to seek reinforcements.

"Tsk."

With a light sigh, Jiang Lan let go, and the headmistress collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. Her body looked disheveled, but her eyes were still bright. She knew Jiang Lan too well, a fox who had once single-handedly fought off the invasion of demons. Her understanding gave rise to her obsession with Jiang Lan. Even at this point, she still did not want to give up this powerful help from Jiang Lan.

"They are demons. You have been on the wrong path since the beginning. You are a mother, and you are also a brave man, Jiang Lan!"

In response, Jiang Lan just said.

"I'm a mother, not some damn hero. I haven't been one since the beginning."

From the very beginning, she had no memory of a hero, nor did she have the responsibilities of a hero.

"You guys, are you really going to go down this dark road to the end?"

"Dark road?"

Her tone rose, and a soft light flashed in Jiang Lan's eyes.

"Isn't it a blessing to choose a path, not give in, not change, and go on even if the road is dark?"

"I love my daughters, I like them, I am happy with them, I want to laugh with them, I want to see them smile, I want them to act coquettishly towards me, I want to be in front of them at the most dangerous moment. This is me, not a hero, but a stupid foster mother who is overjoyed to take over."

"No, I am their biological mother!"

It has nothing to do with blood ties, as long as she firmly believes in it, that is enough.

"But this is something the world cannot tolerate!"

The headmaster yelled.

Jiang Lan chuckled softly, and a hint of sneer appeared on her pretty face.

"Aren't you the so-called worldly people?"

#Even if this is a road full of thorns, I am willing to walk on it barefoot. #

ps: Today is the second chapter, which is considered as paying back for yesterday. I am a little tired. Good night, everyone.

274. Bye~ I'm going to save the world

The so-called world, isn’t that you?

The sarcasm in Jiang Lan's words made the headmistress's already ugly face turn completely gloomy.

As a mother herself, Jiang Lan completely rejected her.

"This is for justice! For the world."

When everyone was fleeing, the hero had to flee in the opposite direction, so her son and daughter-in-law chose to stay behind, and she did nothing to stop them.

Everything is for the greater good. In the face of the world, there is no place for family affection or the ego.

This was her choice, and it was what she had said to herself countless times.

“It’s a sacrifice that has to be made.”

"Sacrifice? It's a necessary sacrifice for me."

After the relentless pressure ended, Jiang Lan took two breaths, closed her eyes, and all the details of the Academy City appeared before her eyes, every corner, the people who lived and worked in peace, and the students who looked exhausted but still smiled at her.

She also has feelings for the land she lives on and for her lovely children.

But she chose to give up everything and let herself be trampled by the iron hooves of the demons. This was also the sacrifice she made.

because.

"My daughters are my cause, they are my world!"

"you......"

The director stared with eyes wide open and could only express his surprise with this interruption, not knowing what to say next.

Jiang Lan smiled miserably, with a hint of apology on her face.

But this is her, she has been a cold-hearted person from the beginning.

Looking back, she had a beautiful and youthful fox face, was gentle and kind, always had a smile on her face, and had a soft voice that made people feel like spring breeze. She exuded a maternal aura that even Alice was captivated by her...

Everyone thinks she is a gentle fox with a soft heart and a soft body who is easy to be pushed down.

But only Jiang Lan herself knew that she had been a cold and indifferent person from the very beginning.

Because, all of this is possible because of the existence of these three little ones.

The daughters seek maternal love from her and depend on her for survival and growth. Isn't Jiang Lan the same?

Just as she answered the principal, her strength was flawed and her determination was gone. She was never the fox hero who could change the situation of a battle on her own.
