After my rebirth, Miss Saint turned evil

At some point, Eltis's words had taken on a tough tone, which made Murphy's eyes widen.

The tone was very firm, and it conveyed the meaning of 'no interruptions allowed'.

Murphy finally understood that although the blue eyes were an illusion and not the real person, he could still feel the deep emotions contained in Altis' heart.

Then, the agreement refers to the conversation between you and Filia, right?

Murphy only knew this, but he didn't understand why the princess was so obsessed with it.

"That's not the case. I made that agreement because I trust her from the bottom of my heart."

Trying to raise his left hand too high on his chest, Murphy narrowed his eyes slightly and continued.

That's right, Filia said she would bring back victory with that sword.

In this case, I must make corresponding preparations.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have the face to meet her again.

Well, instead of sitting here and dazed, I might as well hang this head up and go to the front line to give it to the enemy.

Because Filia listened to what she said.

Then we must also use actions to prove the correctness of that statement.

This is the greatest sincerity I can show to the hero Filia.

"So, I want to do what I can to help. So, Eltis, I have something to ask you—where is the escape route, the so-called escape hatch, unique to the royal family in this country?"

Murphy's words made Eltis show a rare expression of surprise.

It’s not so much that she doesn’t understand the meaning of this sentence.

Rather, it was an expression that said, as if Murphy didn't understand why she said that.

Suddenly, Murphy noticed.

It seemed that he could easily understand the emotional fluctuations of the elf Eltis.

If you think back to the past and compare it with the present situation, it is really hard to imagine.

"I'm going to eliminate Lagias from the root now. There shouldn't be any fools who would corner a wolf and then leave a hole in the enclosure at the last moment."

As if reacting to the word Lagias, Eldis's blue eyes widened again.

But there was still a confused look on her face, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

This questioning expression must have conveyed this meaning.

For some reason, a smile suddenly emerged in Murphy's heart, and his eyebrows trembled slightly.

But then again.

The current battlefield is still in the most chaotic vortex.

In other words, the outcome, whether it will be a win or a loss, is still unclear.

Which side will be favored by the God of Destiny and who will be the final winner? This is a question that even past history has not given an answer to.

But it is not difficult to see that our situation is now very bad.

I'm sure Eltis also knows this.

The evidence was that those green eyes were shaking restlessly somewhere.

Her breathing speed was also completely different from usual, which could be easily detected even through the illusion.

——However, in my opinion, the outcome of this war has already been decided, and there is no need to rely on the god of fate.

We will win, we will definitely win, there is no way we won’t win.

Frodo, being a genius, has now rectified the situation on the battlefield;

As a hero, Filia also rushed to the front line to achieve the final victory.

So, of course this side will win this war, and there is no need to think about other results.

Because that's what heroes and geniuses are.

At no time will the choice of destiny fall into the hands of mortals, it will only fall into the hands of heroes.

Altis placed a hand to his lips and slowly opened them, as if after careful consideration.

Although she didn't know where she was now, Murphy could understand it just by the movement of the phantom.

Just now, Eltis seemed to sigh.

"I understand. I'll do as you say. I'll send soldiers to the end of the escape route and completely block that exit."

Okay, perfect, that's foolproof.

As long as the exit can be surrounded by soldiers without leaving any gaps, both elves and humans will have no way out.

Yes, that should be correct.

When Murphy was lost in thought, Altis asked again.

"As long as I do this, you can rest assured."

——So, you just need to stay here now.

Although it was not explicitly stated, this meaning was indeed contained in Eltis's words.

Naturally, Murphy also heard the implicit affection.

however.　

"—No, I'll go too. I'll do my best, give it my all. If I hide here leisurely and end up letting Lagias escape, I'll be so ashamed that I'll want to commit suicide."

"...You. Honestly, even ordinary soldiers would be more useful than you are right now. If Lagias were to escape, he would probably take quite a few elite troops with him."

There seemed to be a tinge of anger in what Eltis said, making it unbelievable.

But, it is true.

Murphy deeply understood the meaning of that sentence.

Now, not only can't I use my right hand, but other parts of my body are also quite difficult to use.

I have no idea where it can be used.

Their strength was originally similar to that of ordinary soldiers, but now it has become even worse.

But even so, if no action is taken at this moment, everything will be in vain.

Murphy felt like something like cold liquid was running down her back, and it felt like dirt was stuffed deep in her throat.

Deep down in my heart, there are also bottomless worries.

"Altis, please forgive my rudeness. Your enemy, your foe—Lagias—is undoubtedly also a hero."

Murphy could almost conclude this.

In the past, he was a usurper who ruled the country of Gasalia.

To this day, his use of military force is by no means something that mediocre people can achieve.

Moreover, it has the will to conclude agreements with human nations and the leapfrog power to push the times forward.

When Murphy first heard these comments, she felt a certainty that was almost terrifying well up in her heart.

He was convinced then and there that Lagias was undoubtedly a hero.

Then, the so-called heroes will never die easily.

No, it should be said that he will not die.

In front of thousands of troops, even if you are being targeted by a fatal blade, you can still survive calmly.

Such guys do exist.

This is something I understand very well through my previous travels.

Because of this, I don't want to loosen my grip on his neck and leave any regrets.

If Lagias were a true hero, he would understand how necessary his own survival was.

This is completely different from being courageous and acting as the commander-in-chief.

The hero who seizes fate with his hands will surely survive and will surely face the enemy again, and will become even more powerful than this time.

Therefore, it is necessary to eradicate it here.

If this opportunity is lost, the shadow of Lagias will continue to loom over my heart and become a worry.

Murphy gripped the sword tightly in his left hand.

There was a thin black line on the blade, with a dim light flickering on it.

——Hero Killer

The inscription engraved on this sword loudly calls out the fate he has chosen.

Chapter 36: Bondage

"Because I believe this from the bottom of my heart, I can't stop here. Even if I have to force myself, I must cut off Lagias's escape route. I believe this is what I should do now."

Murphy's words stopped, as if there was nothing else to say.

In response to that, Altis's lips trembled, and his blue eyes pierced through Murphy's.

She couldn't accept what Murphy said at all, so she said.

"—Is that the end of your excuse? It's truly hard to accept. Yeah, I refuse to accept it. You don't even know what that silver-haired child was feeling as he headed towards the front, right?"

However, when he said this, Murphy just listened without making any response.

Naturally, Eltis's face contorted.

That expression was as if someone's hand was suddenly bitten by a snake.

His blue eyes flickered, and Altis raised his eyebrows, his expression showing obvious anger.

His lips sharpened with discontent, and his voice was thick with anger.

"I hate it. That's just your personality. You don't count yourself as a sacrifice, and you don't understand other people's hearts at all."

Those green eyes stared at Murphy, who still had a confused look on her face.

Originally, Eltis's face would not reveal her emotions, but at this moment, this face seemed to be the spokesperson for her emotions and was always active.

Murphy, you must not understand.

What kind of emotions did that silver-haired swordsman have as he rushed to the battlefield?

And what kind of mood was I in when I watched you leaving?

Of course, Murphy knew nothing.

At this moment, Eltis understood this deeply.

Involuntarily, her eyebrows raised.

"Actually, I don't want to talk to you at all. I just think it's a courtesy to you and my reserve."

Also, I don't want to show weakness.

There are two meanings behind the illusion that Eltis sends to the front line.

One is to perform duties.

That is my responsibility as a leader and as commander-in-chief.

He had to see those dying soldiers with his own eyes, stare at the cruel hell that was created by his own hands, and keep it in his heart.

The second level was that he could no longer bear to wait for Murphy to appear.

Will Murphy die on the battlefield?

The sight of him leaving to take responsibility was so empty that I couldn't erase the thought of whether he would die.

The heart-wrenching anxiety and uneasiness is undoubtedly one of the reasons why I choose to use the phantom.

Eltis understood that harboring such feelings was an inappropriate behavior for a commander-in-chief.

As a person who has eliminated personal feelings and is popular among others, this is an unacceptable behavior.

So, I don't want Murphy to see such a scene.
