Chris's Faith of Fire

"Fami... Guo, you came to save me as expected. I thought you wouldn't come."

"Hey, boy! Put down your sword!"

He shouted again, and I followed the instructions. If I really wanted to kill him, I wouldn't need a sword.

"I don't understand the meaning of your doing this. If Ailian dies, the country will lose the emperor, and you will also be charged as a regicide. Besides, you and the emperor should be on the same side."

Chrissy spoke up before me.

"There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends..." He still did not let go of the dagger in his hand as he spoke.

"Kids, in your opinion, I am just a villain who only cares about profit, don't I? It doesn't matter if you think so. Now that the Demon King's army is sweeping across the continent, what we need is not an emperor, but to maintain economic stability. Who do you think Can you do this? Rashu? Princess Wu? Or is this incompetent little girl in front of you? Oh, don't talk about other things, if this girl's true identity is exposed to the public, her position as emperor will be questioned, even though she knows this She escaped from the palace in women's clothing. How could I hand over my precious motherland to such a little guy! So now I have the guards of the imperial city, and the [-] kasili have been advanced to the knights in advance. What is the best of all armies? First of all, the God of War's Blade... you've given me enough money, so you still have to obey my orders?"

His words became emotional, like that of a patriotic man.

"Spark...did you never have any intention of serving me? Is the rumor that you deliberately blocked my arrows true?" Ailian lowered her head sadly.

"That's not true, it's just a coincidence. I am just an unknown nobleman, and my father is a lowly businessman. I concealed this later. It was true that someone wanted to assassinate you that day, Your Majesty~ I just saw it I took a chance and took a gamble. In fact, there are many people who want to assassinate you, but I blocked them one after another... You are really hated by others, Your Majesty."

It is true that Ailian was not a good monarch, and Princess Wu's actions were also controversial.

But Lord Rashu should be an excellent nobleman.

……

Chapter 254 249. The Red Banquet——7

"In that case, why kill Rashu and all the nobles..."

The embodiment of madness is indiscriminate killing, and as a vampire, I know this very well.

Willard shook his head, "Lord Rashu is very powerful, I admit it... This country relies on him to continue to maintain prosperity, but that is no longer in line with the times. Now is the era of war. Do you think it can still be used?" That one?"

He continued, "There is no world where no one will be hurt. There are gains and losses! Some people make money and some lose money. In order to maintain the stability of the noble families, he chose to sacrifice the interests of the merchants... The proud nobles are They don’t understand who is the foundation of this country!”

"It's us, businessmen! Now the prices of supplies are rising every day. How can you, a young lady who lives in the palace, understand the hardships of civilian life? So what if you are forced to disguise yourself as a man? What if you have no political power? Have you ever suffered from hunger? Have you ever seen skinny children...Have you ever seen your brothers and sisters die in front of you because of the plague?"

Ailian was speechless after hearing his words. She lowered her head and bit her lip.

"Unlike you and Rashu, Your Highness Andrea is keen on strict law enforcement every day, but I will use the arena to collect money from the nobles... to balance the market. Every time I travel, I will throw copper coins to the civilians while walking. Even if I kill His Majesty now and you tell them that this is a usurpation by the old aristocracy, they will believe it unconditionally. Do you understand? Dumb boy... I want to establish a country controlled by merchants and unite other cities and countries to sign strict Covenant, formulate harsh trade regulations, effectively control this market, and achieve the distribution that best suits the interests of the public in this era. What defeats the Demon King is not the swords, guns, swords and halberds, but the continuous vitality of our empire! The Demon King is nothing, just a foreign enemy. What's the big deal? It's more terrifying than him dealing with humans. One moment it was a banquet of mutual flattery, and in an instant it turned into a banquet of flesh and blood... You've seen it, right?

If you don't want to see this country fall apart and get out of here, then I don't have to kill Your Majesty. "

People don’t know how to refute what he said. Indeed, we have never considered it in such detail, and we do not have the ability or funds to replace him as the cornerstone of this country. Ailian’s expression was probably gloomy because she thought of this, She doesn't need to reflect on herself...the emperor and everything else are the fates that are forced upon her.

Moreover, he will definitely not let Ailian go.

"Lie! You just sent an assassin to kill Ailian, otherwise there would be no fight."

"Hmph... Even if I don't kill her, someone will still kill her. Oh, didn't that person come out? The princess of Shuangyue..."

After calling out this mocking name, I turned around quickly following his gaze, and what caught my eye was Andrea with curly black hair.

She was standing at the entrance where we had just walked in. Her dress was stained with blood and torn in half. Even her fair thighs were stained with bright red. The long sword in her hand had not yet shaken off the blood stains.

"Andrea~ Your Highness, how is the situation over there?"

Willard was intimidating Ellen, Andrea stood at the entrance, and Chris and I were sandwiched between them.

"Rashu died from his injuries. I saw the two children chasing towards the back door and followed them. It seems you are okay."

Andrea answered Willard emotionlessly.

"Of course, if it were so easy to die, my middle name wouldn't be snakeskin..."

Lord Rashu is dead?So what about Loren, that knight shouldn’t lose so easily. Is Andrea so powerful?

"Boy, are you asking why Luo Lan didn't stop me? Haha, he is seriously injured now... but his life and death have nothing to do with the overall situation. The one who is going to die is you, Aaron."

"Sister Huang...you actually made peace with Spark. I didn't expect this day to come."

"Peace? That's really ugly to say. Isn't it the same for you and Rashu? I heard clearly what you said in Tianyuan that day. You also planned to discuss letting the old nobles bring swords to the banquet hall. Fortunately, you were reckless. The Ring of Dominance is given to Spark, and we have the military support of the Ares Blade."

"The eavesdropper that day should have been captured by me... and also..."

"You are so self-righteous and using your own immature hints. Don't think that I don't even have this knowledge. You are a vampire, kid."

"What...how do you know."

"The secrets of this world are in the hands of a few people. There are many people in the empire who can crack this level of spells. You carelessly let him go. This is the biggest mistake. So we prepared three twice as many people.”

In the end, was it because of my mistake that I had to kill the prisoner after asking for information?

Eileen, Chris, and I don’t have this awareness, but Andrea and Willard have already made preparations. It is true that we failed in this intelligence battle, so there was unnecessary bloodshed. Eileen That's why we fall into this predicament.

It's too late to say this now, what should we do?

They didn't care much about killing Ailian at all. They were just serving as hostages, so the two sides were in a stalemate. If the value of her use was lost, there would be only death waiting for her.

Chrissy swallowed, cold sweat dripping from her forehead.

"There's one thing I don't understand. Just now Willard said that you also wanted to kill Eileen, but you didn't take action at the best time. Instead, you waited until Eileen's opening remarks were over and everyone started arguing before the assassin stepped forward. Why... "

She was stalling for time. I aimed at the black pearl at my feet. If only for a moment, I would be confident that I could kill Willard. I moved my steps slightly so that my toes touched the scabbard. Fortunately, the black pearl was different from other swords. , the sword lattice protrusions supported a gap on the ground.

"Yes, I did send an assassin... I didn't expect that he didn't intend to attack at all, so Spark's talent was forced to come on the bench. Unexpectedly, the boy named Alves stepped forward to block the knife. As expected of a girl. As expected, my subordinates know how to be compassionate and considerate..."

I glanced at Chris, who was staring closely at Andrea.

"Of course Alves will not do anything unjust. You seem to like to threaten people with hostages, despicable villains... But you can't threaten me. My subordinates have already moved and are waiting for our triumphant return. Now you are already the crazy Heltie, and this despicable behavior is not at all like the female knight who said beautiful words about judging us."

I don’t know much about Andrea, but the atmosphere she exudes now is indeed completely different from before.

"Excluding my younger brother Aaron in Spark's hands, don't we still have the two of you as hostages?"

Taking these words as a signal to start the war, I kicked up my toes, and the black pearl bounced up and was firmly grasped in my hand. Although Willard was threatening Ellen, he seemed to have no reaction at all.

I turned around as fast as I could, as if I saw everything around me slowing down.

In fact, after Chris confessed her love just now, she let me suck blood, so my strength increased again.

It took Willard a long time to grasp the knife tightly with his hand. It seemed that he was still hesitant about killing the emperor, at least to kill him with his own hands.

Those ideal, merchant countries you mentioned... I think they are really very reasonable. At least they will definitely do better than the people here.

Killing you might destroy this empire's hopes.

But I had to do this because you threatened Eileen, sorry.

Now I can get ahead of him.

I recalled that move in my mind, sharp and fast, like a half moon in the sky...

Now I can use that move.

"Devil Sword!"

Following the shout, the black sword energy flew over Ailian's head like a thunderous wind...

Willard's body stiffened.

The next second, only the body and head were left.

Chapter 255 250. The Red Banquet——8

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Ailian, who was still wearing men's clothing, let out a girl's scream. Her body was splashed with bright red blood, but soon the girl gritted her teeth and got rid of the pair of locks. Hold your hands.

Willard collapsed with an ideal that could never be realized again.

"Are you okay?"

Chris stepped back to support her, looked back at Willard's body, her hand ignited a flame, and then extinguished it... This guy's body cannot be burned casually.

"It doesn't matter. Go help Fami quickly. It's okay with me."

Chris frowned, then shook her head.

"No, using magic casually in a one-on-one battle will only cause chaos... Fami, I can leave it to you! She is very strong."

When a woman says she wants to leave something to her, it means she believes in herself.

As a man, it is natural for him not to back down at such a time.

"Of course...I will do my best."

She raised her black pearl sword horizontally and pointed the blade at Andrea. She also took a stance, and her murderous look seemed not to be affected by Willard's death at all.

"There's trouble this time," Andrea whispered.

I don’t know what she is talking about that makes her feel troublesome.

"Your expression doesn't make anyone feel at all..."

"When Willard dies, he can only replace someone to take over the new aristocratic force. It takes a lot of time to find a suitable candidate... because he can become the leader of the new aristocracy only if he does the best. I hope that he can change something like this. What, the result seems to be a failure.”

If the merchant parliamentary system was established as Willard said, Princess Andrea would have lost her political power, and the city would have become an autonomous system.

Wouldn't it be easier to split?

By the way, if we establish an alliance between cities, we can just use the power of trade to force them to join the agreement. I realized how grand Willard's idea was. What he wanted to do was unprecedented and unprecedented.He died young because of a sword, and left with his unwillingness and madness.

"It's a pity...Princess Andrea, it seems that we outsiders ruined your plan. I haven't experienced a single pleasant thing since I came to you, except for meeting Eileen, so no matter what happens, I will stand in front of her and protect her no matter what."

"Well said..." Her voice became hoarse. "Before that, think about whether you can survive!"

Andrea's body swayed. It didn't look like she was using much strength, but she stepped on the ground as if she was carrying a strong wind.I maintained that posture and watched her movements. Andrea threw off her heeled shoes and rushed forward.

So fast!Obviously I have become stronger under the influence of Chris's blood, but why...

She hurriedly raised her sword, struck the black pearl with her long sword, then quickly pulled it away and struck it again at a very fast speed. Such two swords also took into account the tricky angle while attacking. If it weren't for being a vampire, If I had excellent physical fitness, I would have been defeated in the first blow.

"Lower your head, Fami!"

Chrissy's voice came from behind, maybe she sensed my decline... I did as she said, and immediately a flame struck the princess like a dragon's breath.

It's great to help me join the fight, but do you want to kill her, Chris?

Although she was thinking this in her mind, Andrea had actually quickly jumped onto the wall to avoid the flames. In the end, she perfectly dodged the flames without being hurt. She stayed there for a moment like a lizard, and then jumped on the vertical wall. The next sword swung straight at Chris... no, it was Aileen in Chris's arms.

Chrissy didn't have any weapons in her hands. She just jumped back quickly and threw Elaine roughly behind her. Andrea's sword hit the ground of the castle, leaving deep marks.

The thick masonry also became crumbling. If we hit it a few more times, the corridor might completely collapse and throw us high into the sky. Chris couldn't help but wipe away a cold sweat when looking at the huge scars caused by the sword.

"What an amazing power... Did you lose your temper when you were in the arena?"

Andrea twirled the sword in her hand, looking at her opponent, and at the same time she didn't forget to cast a glance at me from the corner of her eye.

"You were stronger back then...and had weapons. You were special, Fire Cat."

"Aren't you also very special? The teacher who taught me for a while once said that the world-famous warriors will allocate Mana to the limbs of the body, and improve their physical abilities through long-term integration with Mana. I have gone through It took a long period of training in genjutsu to make my movements a little more agile, but you are different."

Her silver hair was fluttering slightly in the breeze, her eyes became sharp, and Andrea just smiled slightly in return.

"This is the case for all the soldiers at the head of the army. Look at this gray sky... Mana is everywhere in the empire from the clouds to the bottom of the pits in the south. The Mana here is at the critical line of human survival. If it continues If it is too strong, it will be difficult for the human race to survive. Of course, the people who grow up here are born with the ability to become warriors, and as the emperor's daughter, I am naturally the leader among them."

"I am also the king's daughter." Chris seemed a little unconvinced.

"Oh, you didn't tell me this in the arena~"

"Then let me tell you now, my name is Crystal Rubiel Macefield, the second princess of Garnet, the Flame Chrissy who bears the name of crystal!"

After Chrissy said this, her hair was dyed the color of flames. Even without a weapon, she was still undaunted. The air around her bright red hair seemed to be filled with sunfire because of the flames, blurring my vision.

"I see, it's a pleasure to meet you. It would be nice if it wasn't like this." Andrea answered her, but her expression made people feel that her interest was heightened.

Chris Smile Season threw out fire magic at the enemy, but Andrea just swung her sword to split the fireball, then rushed in front of her at a faster speed, and raised a kick to hit her. Chrissy had already made a blocking gesture with her arms.

Chrissy's body was slightly in the air. She adjusted her body again, turned around and kicked Chrissy hard against the wall with a sharp roundhouse kick.

"Chrissy!"

"Well... I, I'm fine, but do I still need to use the second form to deal with a mortal... It's too risky. After using that, I won't have much Mana left."

Who would have thought that a princess could have such speed?Does Princess Wu mean that she is very powerful in her own right?

"I'm disappointed. I didn't expect you to be this good, Chrissy of Fire~"

"If I had a weapon, and I wasn't in such a narrow place... who would you be?" Chris rubbed her abdomen where she was kicked unconvinced. She was in so much pain that she couldn't open one eye, and it seemed she was injured.

"If, if, maybe, probably~ I hate these words the most. Fighting is not a sword game played by boys. I fight with you to kill the emperor behind you. If you are willing to hand her over to me, there is no need to fight. Yes, how about it?"

"Don't think about it."

I answered while tightening my grip on my sword.
