The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　He is also known as the Bull Demon, has the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, and is the leader of the Rangers.

　Legend has it that he held a giant axe in his hand, and when he swung it, the mountains and rivers trembled, and his strength was enough to destroy an army.

　The strength of the subhuman race was evident in him. Legend has it that he once struck his enemy a hundred meters high with one axe, and the enemy fell into pieces of meat.

　He made a name for himself early on in the border defenses of the Kingdom of Messina, banishing the cultists and supernatural demons deep into the jungle.

　Such a big shot...came to a small settlement in Akademi and even occupied the place?

　Something is wrong, there must be something fishy behind this.

　"Just go and have a look later," Xing Mo said calmly, "Let's talk about your business first."

　"My business?" Chloe was confused. "What is it?"

　"You used the last name August again, which means you want to seize power, right?" Xing Mo didn't beat around the bush.

　As soon as these words came out, the pupils of the two guerrillas suddenly trembled, and Chloe also cleared her throat:

　"You...guessed?"

　"That's an easy guess. You must want to put pressure on the new party. After all, the guerrillas have so many more victories." Xing Mo spread out her hands. "You came to the Academy to gather support. Okay, help me, and I'll help you later."

　Communicate efficiently and get straight to the point, the main point is to avoid dragging things out.

　After Xingmo finished speaking, Chloe opened her mouth and swallowed back the lines she had prepared.

　Damn it! Why is he so direct? I can't even say the lines I've already thought of!

　This kind of talk shouldn't be chosen for a dark and windy banquet, where a group of people clink glasses and laugh loudly at a table in the shadows, and then say it in a very stylish way.

　Did you say this in your posture?

　For example, "Oh? It seems that Miss Chloe's purpose is... unusual..." "Oh, that's right, I like to cooperate with smart people..." "Then it seems that the old crown will be pushed back into the sunlight..." "That's what I meant..."

　Without this kind of dialogue, would it be worthy of such a big show!

　Chloe covered her chest, sighed deeply, and nodded immediately:

　"Okay, then... let's find a place to have a formal discussion later."

　The lines have to be said, right? If not, how will they be recorded in history books?

　""

　Xingmo didn't notice Chloe's inexplicable little emotion. Her gaze looked forward, through the dense forest, and landed on the small village.

　"Let's go and talk to General Wangyou." Xing Mo said lightly.

　"Wait a minute, that's a saint, huh? And a subhuman saint, much stronger than mortals," Chloe said. "Miss Jadeti, you... seem to be a saint too, right?"

　"Well, you..."

　"How do you know I'm also a saint?"

　Who asked you?

　Xing Mo looked at Chloe with both anger and amusement. Sure enough, this guy had been promoted to a saint. Otherwise, why would she just faint when he glared at her just now?

　"But even though I'm a saint, I fought that guy twice before and couldn't win," Chloe said. "Actually, I had the advantage in the first two moves, but I couldn't win after that. That beast's spiritual energy reserves are terrifyingly large, and no matter how hard I fight, I can't deplete it."

　"After all, they are a sub-human species, so it's definitely not that easy to deal with," Xing Mo shook his head, "But it doesn't matter, just fight them."

　"Really...really fight? That guy is going to come up and fight you without even saying a word?" Chloe persuaded, "I think we should first take care of the surrounding environment, find a way to sneak in, and then kill him in his sleep. In this way..."

　"No, he already knows I'm coming."

　After Xingmo finished speaking, she walked straight forward, through the woods, and towards the village.

　"Hey! Wait a minute!" Chloe and the guerrillas chased after them.

　Behind them, Aurora clasped her hands behind her back, her lips slightly curled.

　"I always feel like the little saint is going to play with her prey again, bad boy."

　As she spoke, she tapped the ground lightly with her small leather-shoeed feet, and a faint green light spread out and poured into the earth.

　"Then I'll have some fun with you guys."

　Sure enough, when Xingmo arrived at the village entrance, a large number of cavalry had already blocked the road.

　Looking closely, I saw that it was a mass of black cattle-like beasts - standing on all fours, covered in iron armor, with huge horns covered in steel, which gleamed in the sunlight.

　It was a mudwalker, an unearthly beast, a companion bred by the minotaur subspecies and an integral part of the rangers.

　On their backs, a group of sturdy, horned demi-humans were staring straight ahead, their cloudy eyes dull and lifeless.

　If they were not wearing armor and holding iron tools, Xingmo would probably have thought they were the cubs of mud walkers.

　Ugly army... oppressive...

　On the battlefield, the less human you are, the more likely the enemy will think you are seeing a ghost.

　Well... it's still visually intimidating.

　Xingmo walked forward, facing the gaze of the demihuman army, she strolled leisurely with a leisurely pace.

　This was not because she was arrogant, but because she saw a wizard covering his eyes and crying in front of the formation.

　She was a little girl with cat ears. She looked blind and bleeding.

　Beside her, a burly bull was bending over, playing a melody on the harmonica, healing her wounds.

　"It'll take a week for her eyes to heal, and that'll cause us to lose some of our peripheral control."

　The giant bull stood up, turned around, and stared at Xingmo with its huge horned head.

　His pupils were a cloudy gold, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot, like an angry animal.

　General Nepenses, leader of the Messina Rangers.

　Staring into the eyes of the beast, Xing Mo simply smiled faintly:

　"If you lose control, you can just withdraw your troops. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

　"Sharp-tongued," Nepientis said coldly. "From the Citadel, huh? You look like a bookworm who's never been on a battlefield. Want to wrestle?"

　"General Wangyou Nepenses, your way of threatening the enemy is through talking?" Xingmo chuckled.

　Hearing this, veins popped up on Nepsis' forehead. He walked towards Xingmo, and every step seemed to shake the earth.

　"Do you know why I'm called General Wangyou?" Nepenses walked up to Xingmo, head lowered. "Because I always make those hesitant enemies lose their worries. Their heads and bodies fly into the air and explode into watermelons when they hit the ground."

　"A pile of smashed watermelon, would that bother you? Huh?"

　"I'm not sure if Watermelon will be troubled," Xingmo raised her head and looked at Nepense fearlessly, "but...Niu might be troubled today."

　As soon as these words were spoken, Chloe and the guerrillas behind him who had been silent were petrified - who would dare to talk to Nepense like this!

　Seeing Nepientes's increasingly gloomy expression, Chloe even grabbed the pistol under her cloak, ready to draw her gun and start shooting at any time.

　Unexpectedly, the general laughed:

　"Hahaha, hahahaha, funny! You're braver than that guy!"

　He pointed at Chloe, palm facing up, raised his middle finger, then lowered his head and looked directly at Xingmo from a close distance.

　Xing Mo could see the bloodshot in the Bull Demon's eyes, and could feel the murderous intent in every crevice of his brown skin.

　But she just stared at the beast silently, her face flawless.

　"This is Academi County, the territory of the Citadel," Xingmo whispered, "I don't think you received an invitation."

　"The Citadel fell a long time ago, who are we trying to scare?" Nepientis said with a sinister smile. "As for what we're here for, well, to ensure the security of our own borders, of course."

　"And after this incident is over, will you expand the borders of the Messina Kingdom?" Xing Mo said coldly, "Taking advantage of someone's misfortune is not a good idea."

　"The end? The end of what?" Nepientis feigned surprise. "You don't think... the Citadel can retake the city from that emperor, do you?"

　He turned around and opened his arms to the minotaur army:

　"Hey! This little girl said they want to take the Citadel back from the Golden King! Do you believe it?"

　"Hahahahahaha!" Laughter rang out in the army.

　"What a fucking joke!" Nepense turned around and looked down at Xingmo. "Get lost! Run away! Many years ago, you took a piece of meat from the territory of the Kingdom of Messina, and now we are just taking it back."

　"What if I don't leave?" Xing Mo tilted her head. "Since I'm already here, why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

　"Sit down? You can sit down. Where should you sit?"

　Nepientis leaned down and looked directly at Xingmo:

　"You hurt my friend and I'm very angry, so you're not a guest, you're an enemy. If you want to come in, you can, and fight me."

　"Fighting..." Xing Mo muttered, "How uncreative."

　The next second, Xingmo suddenly pulled out his wand, and golden light burst out -

　"boom--"

　The starlight, like sharp thorns, instantly blew Nepense away dozens of steps. His huge body stumbled and stepped on several large holes on the ground, and he barely managed to steady himself.

　"!"

　Nepientes looked up and saw that the girl had disappeared from his sight.

　A faint sound of wind came from above his head. Nepientis looked up and saw the girl falling from the sky.

　"Hahahahaha! You're overestimating your own abilities!"

　Nepientes slammed the ground hard, the bell on his wrist rang, and the string was pulled.

　He pulled out an axe dragging lava from the ground and swung it fiercely at the girl falling from the sky, drawing out a long streak of fire.

　"Sizzle!"

　The girl's body was instantly cut in two by the axe from the waist, but there was no blood at the broken ends, only broken golden starlight.

　——This is an illusion.

　Another gust of wind blew, Nepenses turned around and swung his axe, shattering the two afterimages again.

　His eyes narrowed, realizing that things were not that simple.

　"Brute force and wisdom, it's difficult to reconcile the two." Nepense heard the girl's voice coming from all directions. He kept turning around, looking in all directions with his huge head.

　Behind him, the Rangers raised their weapons and prepared to step forward to help, but Nepenses shouted:

　"Don't move! I can take her head!"

　The Ranger immediately dropped his weapon and took two steps back.

　Chloe, who had already drawn her pistol, was also stunned for a moment. She frowned, as if she was still hesitating whether to shoot or not.

　At this moment, a soft voice came from beside her:

　"No need to do anything, she can get it."

　Chloe turned her head and saw a petite girl standing next to her, her bloodshot eyes reflecting the battle not far away.

　"Can Miss Jiedeti really deal with that kind of thing?" Chloe was a little worried.

　"Don't worry, it's more than enough to take down that monster."

　Aurora gazed into the distance, watching countless golden phantoms flash through the air, and smiled faintly:

　"She probably...just wanted to warm up a bit."

　""

　At this moment, on the battlefield, Nepientes swirled his axe, flames shot out of his pupils, and the patterns on his huge horns were also filled with a similar light.

　Then he smashed the axe into the ground—

　"Boom boom boom——"

　A turbulent stream of flames burst out from the ground, and the lush greenery suddenly burned in the flames, like a sea of ​​fire.

　The flame seemed to have a spirit, flowing and chasing in the space around Nepenses, and soon sealed the space off.

　In the sealed space, golden phantoms shattered and exploded out of thin air.

　Seeing this, Nepenses laughed and said:

　"Starlight magic, four strings, light and shadow body, leaving starlight afterimages in space, so that you can instantly reach the location left by any afterimage."

　"As for starlight magic, the people of Messina figured it out two hundred years ago! How dare you show off your skills in front of me?"
