Who taught him to restore the country like this?

After he reacted, he felt something cold penetrate his throat.

Looking down, the purple coat fell to the ground, revealing Lawrence's hand holding the dagger.

"Take a deep breath, it's normal to feel dizzy." Lawrence held Cassius' head tightly.

Cassius tried hard to break free, but his body gradually became weak, his pupils became dilated, and his limbs drooped limply.

Lawrence let go.

Cassius's body slid to the ground.

"You're good at pretending, but I'm better at pretending."

Lawrence stood up and looked at the corpse with green face and fangs on the ground with a smug smile.

Then his face slowly began to move, and finally turned into the appearance of Cassius.

The first step of the plan, infiltrating the demon clan, was successful!

Ron, who transformed into Cassius, was not worried at all about being seen through by other demons.

Shadow Demon, a low-level demon with little attack power and only good at disguise.

They parasitize the target's shadow and perfectly copy the target's abilities and personality. As long as they don't reveal themselves, even their own kind cannot tell their disguise.

Therefore, the shadow demons who sneaked into the border city of Kassel told each other about the targets they wanted to parasitize before coming.

Now they only recognize the identities of mutual targets.

Therefore, Ron didn't have to worry about being discovered.

He wrapped the shadow demon's head with his coat and dragged the body to the window. After confirming that there was no one below, Ron opened the window and jumped down.

We cannot let people know that a demon died in Yueyao Manor yet.

Hide it first, and then get it and claim the reward later.

Chapter 25 Arranged

The night deepens, the moon and stars become sparse.

An idle manor on the outskirts of the city, with the iron gate half-closed.

Deep in the manor, in a dimly lit room, eleven figures sat around a worn wooden table, staring at each other in silence.

At this time, the door was pushed open and the twelfth person walked in.

As the last person sat down, a tall and thin figure stood up and said, "Everyone is here. Let's start the meeting."

"Wait, where is Lord Bal?" A bloated man raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Yes, Lord Baal hasn't arrived yet."

The other ten people all expressed their dissatisfaction with the tall and thin man's inappropriate behavior.

They all came here after receiving a secret letter from Lord Bal.

"No need to wait, Lord Bal won't come." The tall and thin man chuckled.

"Cassius, you'd better explain what you mean?" the bloated man frowned.

"Hasn't what I said been clear enough? Lord Bal is so busy with his affairs, how could he possibly find time to see a fool like you?" Cassius said sarcastically.

boom.

The bloated man slammed the table in anger and said, "Cassius, I think you want to..."

"Stop arguing," a young man said, trying to stop the quarrel between the two men, who had always been at odds with each other. He then looked at Cassius and asked, "Wasn't this meeting initiated by Lord Barr?"

"You could say that," Cassius said, "Lord Barr gave me the secret letter to send. I will preside over this meeting on his behalf."

After hearing this, no one doubted it.

Since Cassius had just returned to Cassel from outside, it made perfect sense for him to bring back Lord Bal's instructions.

His eyes swept over everyone in front of the wooden table. Seeing that no one had any objections, Cassius continued, "You all should know that Princess Kylena is coming to Cassel tomorrow, right?"

"Yes."

"Then do you know why she came to Kassel?"

"Of course, it's to arrange defenses against Lady Lilith's Eternal Illusion. Everyone knows about this now. If Lord Baal has any instructions, just tell me directly and don't talk nonsense." The bloated man said impatiently.

"Really?" Cassius looked at the bloated man in surprise. "I thought you, a fool, didn't know."

"you……"

"All right."

"What are Lord Baal's instructions?"

"Do you want us to destroy the defenses set up by Princess Kaileena?"

"This is just one of the tasks." Cassius glanced at everyone present again, his expression gradually becoming serious. "We have another task, to kill Princess Kaileena."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned, and some wondered if they had heard it wrong.

You want us to kill Princess Kaileena, who is protected by the Kingdom's Griffin Knights?

"According to the latest intelligence, Princess Kaileena can produce a special elemental stone within her body. This can be used to set up formations, achieving optimal results. Furthermore, each formation can be activated in parallel and in a chain."

"She claimed to be setting up defenses against the Eternal Illusion, but in reality, she was setting up the Divine Purification Array in parallel with the Dawn City Transmission Array."

"The Divine Purification Formation uses the demons within it as its energy source. If her plan succeeds, all demons within the Kingdom of Orrantia will be instantly annihilated by the nationwide chain formation."

"This will cause great trouble to Lady Lilith's Third Legion, so we must stop her!"

Cassius spoke passionately about the danger posed by Princess Kaelina to the demons' invasion of the Kingdom of Orrantia.

After hearing this, everyone at the wooden table realized the danger posed by Princess Karina.

In this case, simply destroying the formation they have arranged will not eliminate the harm, because no one knows whether the formation shown to them is a decoy or not.

If you want to completely eliminate the harm, you have to kill Kaileena herself so that she cannot complete the arrangement of the Divine Purification Array.

They all understand the truth.

They also all supported killing Kylena.

but……

"Does Lord Baal think too highly of us?"

This question arises in everyone's mind.

They are just a group of low-level demons with an average level of no more than 20, who only dare to parasitize the weak.

What's the difference between asking them to kill Princess Kailina and asking them to commit suicide?

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy.

Many people began to question the mission conveyed by Cassius.

How could Lord Baal make such a foolish decision?

There was a moment of silence, and someone asked, "How are we going to kill Princess Kaileena?"

If Cassius couldn't come up with a reasonable plan, they would have to question Cassius's purpose.

"Lord Baal will attack Princess Kaileena on the way tomorrow, which will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Griffin Knights. We just need to wait for Princess Kaileena to escape into the city, create an environment where she is alone, and then assassinate her." Cassius said in an orderly manner.

"What's with that look on your faces?" Seeing his colleagues still frowning, Cassius coldly questioned, "She's in the open, we're in the dark. With so many of us, can't we kill a single girl?"

Well said.

You call the candidate saint of the Glorious Church a yellow-haired girl?

Everyone slandered.

However, if it's just an assassination, they do have a chance.

……

"Ah!"

Outside the border city of Kassel, in the distant sky, a dozen griffins formed a formation.

In the middle of the team, Kylena suddenly felt a chill.

"Your Highness Kylena, you have caught a cold."

The deputy commander of the Griffin Knights, who was in charge of protecting Her Royal Highness the Princess, heard Kylena sneeze, came over, and handed her a blanket.

"Thank you."

Kylena took the blanket and draped it over her shoulders.

"Your Highness Karina, let's go down and set up camp to rest for a night, and then continue our journey tomorrow." The deputy captain was worried about the princess's health.

He had been accompanying her for nearly ten days and had witnessed with his own eyes that Kylena's physical condition was getting worse and worse after she had set up the defensive formation. How could he not be worried?

"No need," Kylena shook her head slowly. "The battle for Dawn City is imminent, and the Demonic Third Legion could attack at any moment. How could I stop just because of a minor cold?"

Three heroic adventurers have already died, and she doesn't want more people to die.

She looked ahead with a determined gaze.

Although the deputy captain was full of worries, he said no more. He just secretly instructed the knights around him to be more vigilant to prevent any possible danger.

Time passes and the morning sun rises.

In the sky, the cry of a griffin broke the silence.

From a distance, the outline of the border city of Kassel can be seen.

The destination was not far away, and the Griffin Knights, who had been traveling for a day and a night, couldn't help but relax their tense hearts.

The deputy commander looked ahead towards the city of Kassel, silently praying that this mission could be successfully completed.

He had promised his wife and daughter that he would take time to spend with them after completing this mission.

boom!

A loud explosion sounded.

The leading griffin suddenly tilted and lost control.
