Chris's Faith of Fire

"No, Your Majesty." She paused, "I'm just wondering why those goblins who have lived for thousands of years can't let go of their attitude."

Aaron instantly understood the twisted compliment and answered her, "Because they have never been emperors."

◆ ◇

A few days passed, and Aaron counted the time to return home, even though there was only a bridge between the Empire and the Holy Capital.

"Your Majesty, the information here has been spread to the empire, and now the people are discussing things about you and the Holy Capital."

"So which one talks more about me or the Holy City?"

Lyles rolled his eyes twice and answered, "Originally, there were more things about His Majesty, but obviously the rebellion in the Holy City and His Highness Ladia's march north diluted these."

"Businessmen have sensed an opportunity." Meier added, "Now that the prices of enchanted swords and armor have increased, everyone knows that you will continue to fully assist His Highness Ladia."

He was right. In the face of huge opportunities, everyone can put other things aside first. From her standpoint, it was now close to the ideal situation, no... even better than the ideal situation. The empire's businessmen gradually began to replace the old ones. The position of nobles, but their money is controlled by themselves.Including the leaders of the municipality, Aaron is very happy with their enthusiasm for independence. People always like to comfort themselves that they are working for themselves and not for the boss, but all the money they earn must be taken by us. If I go [-]%, I can also earn a lot of interest by borrowing money.

"Liles, the only uncertain factor now is the battlefield in the north. Do you think the brave will win?"

"Well, I haven't seen the previous brave demon wars. Judging from the records, even the demon kings who died together have never won, except for the last time... But in terms of results, the gods have restored peace to the earth again."

"That means there is no record of failure, right, Lyles. I've always wanted to ask something." She tilted her head, as if she was very puzzled. Normally, if she had such an expression, she would have to ask Meier instead of herself. .

"Please feel free to ask, as long as I understand, I will tell you."

The Maiden Queen nodded, "Do the demons know how to make money to support their lives? Does their king know how to govern his subjects?"

Not only Lyles, but also Meyer was stunned when he was asked this question for the first time.

The Queen's expression didn't look like she was joking, so Lyles thought for a while and then said, "I don't think so. They have always relied on plundering to obtain resources. This has been recorded for thousands of years. They have organs that can store Mana, so they can obtain Mana by killing other creatures. From the moment they were designed by the Creator, they were destined to be unable to form a civilized society on their own."

The corners of Aaron's mouth curved, her eyebrows raised, and her eyes were full of contempt.

"In this case, even if they win, what will they do next? How will they survive on this continent?"

"This..." Lyles swallowed his saliva, "I think they should put humans as slaves themselves first, but... in terms of the number of demons, if they don't plan to work on their own, they need to be quite The number of slaves is probably several times that of our current population. Ah... Your Majesty."

Lyles suddenly realized that if dignity is put aside, the demons will not be able to live on this land for a long time even if they win the war. They will only slowly merge with humans and create a new way of coexistence. This is not a matter of willingness or unwillingness.Rather, both races will understand the Creator's conspiracy. In the end, they will find that they have been deceived, and all the battles will become meaningless.

Human beings are weak and have short lifespans, but their ability to reproduce and their peace-loving nature allow them to survive in chaos.

"So, how can this kind of creature, which has been defective since its creation, defeat us?"

Chapter 425 419. Chaotic Neutral——1

The troops had unknowingly crossed Mount Fea. This was not a good experience for the orcs who made their home on the grasslands. First, there were muddy mountain roads and slippery roads that injured dozens of people. It slowed down the march.The heavily armored knights repeatedly wanted to take off their armor, but Chrissy didn't allow it. She thought she had penetrated deep into the heart of the Demon King's army. She herself walked in front of the team in the rain, looking at the girl's petite figure. Nothing more to say.

Lian can spread his wings and fly in the sky. After absorbing the power of the wind spirit, he is no longer the same as before, and he is no longer trapped by the curse of sleep.Veda was still jumping around next to him, not at all like she was about to face the Demon King... Everyone's expressions were heavy. They knew who our enemy would be next, and they didn't know if they would live to see the Demon King. , the damp weather had demoralized them, and they had fed their horses and their own stomachs before crossing the mountains so that they could pass quickly through this ominous place.Noel's face has always been very bad. Shahavier's home is in Sestodia behind Mount Fea. His home has been reduced to ruins. His father's head was cut off by Zelothia's men, and his mother's head was cut off by Zelotia's men. He probably also died in the war, and his sister Sylvie's whereabouts are now unknown.Lian sighed, this poor child had no one in his family anymore, how could he maintain such a calm mind.

The young man was holding the horse, and suddenly thunder sounded. He saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds, and a heavy rain was coming.He turned around and ran all the way to Chris's side and said, "Chris, we can't leave anymore. We have to stay and rest. It's very dangerous in the midst of lightning and thunder."

Chrissy's face darkened. She knew the danger, but did stopping mean it was safe?They were on the mountainside. Not to mention that the ground was slippery and muddy. The monsters hidden in the mountains and forests also began to look at them at some point. If they were to attack when they stopped to camp, they would definitely cause casualties. What was even more terrifying was that there was a demon army. Mixed in among them are orcs and trolls adapted to the woodland, and they are also good at sneak attacks.

The girl shook her head, "No, keep walking. We made a decision before we came here... If we don't cross Mount Feiya quickly, we will not only lose the opportunity, but the sneak attack of the demons will also probably annihilate our entire army, Gil." The coalition forces of Kern and Garnet were defeated here, and we cannot follow in their footsteps."

"It's too dangerous." Lian narrowed his eyes. Now he couldn't completely believe what this girl said. "I can understand your current mood, but you must calm down! Chris, we can't bear any loss now!" His The tone was a bit fierce, and the surrounding orc guards gathered around her. Chrissy raised her hands high before they retreated.Her face was tense, and Lian knew that she had been under too much pressure, and it was precisely because of this that he did not show his cards.

This 15-year-old girl faced such a terrible war for the first time... The opponent was not the leader of the empire's armies nor the rangers of the goblin tribe. They were a group of monsters, a group of demons from the abyss of hell. Lian still remembered the demon king Druku. When I was resurrected, he heard those disgusting demons shouting that they wanted to kill all humans and make women pregnant with their offspring. There was no mercy in the hearts of those demons.He tried his best to believe Chris, because she was Jiulisu, the legendary phantom god... If she was unwilling to take the initiative to use her power, it must be because she couldn't use it, or she couldn't recall that memory at all.

"So, Mr. Lian, if we stop, who will ensure safety? Can you be responsible for the life and death of these tens of thousands of troops?"

He took a deep breath, "I can." As he spoke, the young man flicked his black cloak, and the thing immediately turned into demon wings and let him fly into the air. "I will go to investigate the movements of the place, as far as the Amber River. The Agote Fortress in front of you can go there and back in less than a day and a half, I promise you."

Chris thought for a while and looked at Fermina beside her. The orc girl nodded, so Chris raised her arm again.

"Stop advancing! Cut down the trees! Camp in the forest ahead."

The troops seemed to be relieved. They watched the lightning and thunder hitting the ridge in the distance. They did not want to be the next one. In this case, no one could ensure that they were safe. They faced more than just It is the most powerful enemy and the fear of fate.

Ma Kai seemed to be dissatisfied with Chris's decision. Alves was trying to dissuade him. At this time, Haka also stepped forward to ask about the situation. Chris briefly explained the situation and then began to distribute tasks to the orc warriors. Then everyone They started to move, and they all tightened their scimitars. They were also wary of wild beasts that might jump out of the forest at any time. Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Chris seemed much more relieved when she saw this scene.

He has improved a lot compared to his impulsive personality in the past. Now he may be promoted from a guard to a general. Lian flapped his wings with this thought, and Veda jumped up and caught him. own waist.

"Lian! Wherever you want to go, Veda has to go by herself."

Lian knew that he couldn't get rid of this girl, so he had to acquiesce. This situation could not allow a minute to be wasted.

Although Noelle was blind, he seemed to be relieved when he saw the young man leaving the team. One day before, he noticed Lian wandering in front of Chris's camp, as if he had some plans, and he left immediately Coming over, the young man left in embarrassment after seeing the brave man.He wanted to use suggestion to read Chrissy's memory that day, just like he had done with Fami and Rebekah. He had already used it on himself, but he learned that part of his memory was missing. Did this happen during the transfer to this world?After all, the memory was taken away. In this case, there is no way to guess when it was taken away. There must be something related to her in Chris's memory.

The key is whether she knows she is Jiulisu.

The meaning of "Hypocritical Heart" may reveal the mystery of what kind of battle the true people of Nefera went through 300 years ago. After all, now the detection technique shows that she is Jiulisu. Is she reincarnated or something else?Maybe we shouldn’t think about this issue now.

He jumped high and broke through the tops of the forest trees until he flew above the clouds and saw the bright moon in the sky, and the whole land was visible through the dark clouds.Agat in the distance has been destroyed, with nothing left except broken bricks and tiles. It seems that neither Chris nor the Demon King can count on this fortress to meet their defense needs.

There was no smell of the demon army in other places around him. Agat looked like he had experienced a fierce battle. Who else had fought against this group of demons before?It couldn't be Ladia. Unless they were flying, how could they have gone from Nefrait to the south coast of Garnet and then northward to fight a fierce battle with the demons in one week?He lowered his height and landed under Agat without being discovered by anyone. This place was only a short distance away from Rod Cullo Saint, but there was no demon army deployed?Or is Heiyao preparing a trap just like 300 years ago?

At this time, he could not enter the royal capital casually. He looked at the rock whose cross section was no longer so new and said, "It seems that the fighting here has been going on for some time. It feels like it was a few weeks, maybe a month ago."

"But who could cause such great damage? There were no bodies left at the scene..."

"It seems that some kind of large-scale magic was used to directly destroy this fortress... This kind of magic requires an extraordinary amount of mana. Agat is a fortress that has not fallen for thousands of years."

"If Vida used all her strength, she could destroy it." Vida pouted and was very unconvinced.

Lian smiled and touched her head, "Maybe, but we have to be more low-key now. We have to help Chris check if there are any traps or hidden troops nearby."

"Lian, why are you so determined to help Chris? Everyone is the same...I don't understand."

Yes, why should you help her?Lian thought to himself, knowing that he had lost a piece of memory, and then vaguely guessing the meaning of the hypocritical heart, he felt an inexplicable fear creeping into his heart. He doubted whether everything he had done was meaningful, and what happened to Sha Lily. Is he the devil?This is a battle between time-travelers. He wants to find out everyone's motives as much as possible. If the Demon King is from the same country as himself, then he must persuade and inquire.

Lian thought up to this point, looked at Veda beside her and replied, "Probably just to use her to achieve my own goals. I have no interest in her royal power or the subsequent disputes with Ladia."

"Eliminate the threat of the Demon King to this world, that's all."

Chapter 426 420. Chaotic Neutral——2

The sound of leaves in the forest will make Lian prick up his ears. When the grass is blown by the wind and rain, it is like a knife passing by, bringing up the young leaves on the branches and flying all over the ground. What the young man smells is the smell of earth, which invades his nasal cavity and makes people feel a little bit... itch.

Thunder sounded, and Lian hurriedly followed the direction of the flash. Fortunately, it was not Mount Feiya.Lightning struck an old tree, bringing down the sky with fury, and a scream filled the air. It was a rapid and deep echo.Lian immediately covered Veda's mouth. The little girl immediately trembled. Her red face was at the mercy of the young man. Lian did not do what Veda expected. His movements were as flexible as a spider, holding Veda in his arms. He turned around and hid under a tree.

When I was a child, it was written in the textbook that you should not hide under a tree when it rains. I hope that the next lightning will not hit your head, Lian thought to herself, and listened to the voice on the other side.The raindrops were lighter than before, and the pitter-pattering sound would have obscured their hearing in mortal ears, but not for the vampire. His keen five senses were at work.There are two heavy steps on the opposite side. You can feel their weight just by the sound. They are orcs...with ferocious boar faces and strong bodies. They are the backbone of the demon clan. They usually act in groups and represent There are their outposts around here.

Veda blushed, but it was not because of shyness at this time. She was a little out of breath, and took a big breath when she fluttered her legs and finally escaped from Lian's arms. "Huh~ Ah, Lian! Although I am very touched by your enthusiasm, Veda, if you continue like this, even an elf will suffocate to death! Ugh..."

Halfway through her words, the young man covered her mouth again. "Quiet, they'll find out."

"Hmm, it's okay to find out. It's just two rats... Veda can handle it with one hand."

"There are always things that cannot be solved by strength alone." Lian said, listening to their conversation with his ears. It was very difficult to successfully understand the devil's language in the sound of rain, but as a half-demon, it was not a problem for him. , the conversation between them was as sharp as a roar in the ears of the Vampire King.

"Malgoja, neniu iri batalejo sur mortinta. (It's sad that you lost your life before you even went to the battlefield.)"

"Stulta, ni ne bezonas tian malforta persono. (Fool, we don't need such a weak guy.)"

"Sed la diablo Mosto bezonoj, Agaete kampanjo perdis nombregojn de soldatoj. (But His Majesty the Demon King needs it, Agaete has lost a large number of troops in the battle...)"

The voices of these guys got louder and louder, covering up the sound of rain, and now even normal people could hear them.

"Lian, Lian?" Veda tapped the young man's chest lightly, frowning her eyebrows and pouting slightly, "You don't care about Veda anymore?"

"Quiet." He replied, "We need to thoroughly investigate the Demon King's army's plan. This is also the reason why we came from Agat to the Amber River."

It does not take two days for investigation. Of course, Lian wants to do more than just investigation. They just said that the Demon King lost a large number of troops in the Battle of Agat. He wants to know the truth about this matter. Who caused the Demon King to lose his troops and generals?It would be fine if this person was on the side of humanity, but if they eventually planned to become enemies of the world, they would still be recorded on Lian's elimination list.

The conversation between the two orcs continued. They had no mercy at all for their dead companion. He did not die on the battlefield but was struck to death by a bolt of lightning. This was the greatest shame, even if it was just a natural disaster.These low-level demons also have their own dignity as warriors. When they encounter an enemy, they must fight to the end. Drinking blood and wielding brutal and rough weapons is when these guys are at their most glorious.

"Cu vi opinias tiujn perfiduloj kapablon venki la diablo plenkreskuloj? Si ne povas simple terura temperamento. (Do you really think those traitors can deal with the Demon King? Her terror is not just written on her face.)"

"Cu vi ankoraubrusto, kaj homa integrigo de la diablo (Is it still written on the chest, the devil who merged with humans...)"

"Konservugin (please keep your voice down.)"

"Timas, Mi diris alsi ne nur malkontenta, vi devas diveni, ke ni nun vivas en malavantagon, ke vi ne audis la famoj pri tioPritrakti tiujn perfiduloj, obsidiana plenkreskuloj fortikajo por detrui la tutan Agaete, inkluzive nian el ni (What are you afraid of, again I'm not the only one who is dissatisfied with her. You have to understand that we are at a disadvantage now. Haven't you heard that rumor yet... In order to deal with those traitors, Lord Black Yao destroyed the entire Agote Fortress, including our own people. !)”

Speaking of this, the other orc was quiet for a while, as if he didn't intend to argue with this companion anymore. He also knew that if he continued to argue like this, all his companions would know. As the wind blew, they realized The rain and thunder had stopped, leaving them with only the coolness of the night.There were thorns all over the surrounding bushes. I didn’t know where I would hide from my eavesdropping companions. If someone told the Demon King about this, I would not be able to survive. What is more shameful than dying accidentally is being executed. The orc spat and secretly said He cursed, which seemed to be the worst curse word. Lian didn't understand it very well. He had been using language as elegant as possible since he was born.

Another orc roared several times, as if he had just woken up, and there was no one around. Lian noticed that this guy's heartbeat slowly slowed down from rapid to rapid. Was he nervous? Anyway, they were going back now.One of the orcs left first, as if he didn't intend to join his friends. The guy who talked too much just now was still reflecting on his nonsense, still looking around uneasily, and approached Lian's place.

Let's just plan it out, Lian thought to herself.

"Hush, Veda, no matter what I do for a while, don't take action."

"Eh? No, it's too cunning for Lian to show off alone. We want one for each of us, and there are exactly two of them~ It's fair, isn't it?"

"I don't intend to kill them. I want to let them go back and know the location of the orc fortress. If they still have a fortress... In short, you have to listen to me."

Veda's eyes moved around flexibly. Lian's arm with red hair was a little itchy. The moment she nodded, the young man grabbed a stone at hand. He just moved his finger and the stone bounced to the wood on the left. The orc Of course he noticed the sound. He hesitated for a while, seemingly torn between investigating or turning back to call his companions. However, at this moment, the figure of the prince of the night brought out a phantom, shuttled through the forest, and when the orc turned back His head has been firmly grasped by the thin young man in front of him, and he wants to break free!But the other party directly lifted himself up with one hand, and his ruthless golden pupils seemed to have infinite magic power to pull him in.

"Homoj! Kion vi faras, mi ne diras! (Human! Whatever you do, I won't say anything!)"

“Vi ne povas mensogi al mi (You can’t lie to me!)”

Before he had time to think about why this guy who looked like a woman could speak devilish language, his consciousness dissipated again.

Lian began to invade his memory, and the vampire's favorite technique, suggestion, became even more useful after gaining the power of the wind elf, otherwise he would not be able to glimpse the truth.Lian took a deep breath of faith and slipped into the other person's consciousness in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 427 421. Chaotic Neutral——3

Come on, we don't have time.

The leader of the orcs, Naqashgar, died in the battle to capture Yanxu City. Although they eventually killed the remaining humans there, their main force had been wiped out. The orcs felt a little uneasy. What the Demon King had originally said Where was the promised land and the women?Now there is only a piece of scorched earth and dead corpses all over the place, including humans and their own. The leader Nakashgar has also joined the ranks of the undead.

His twin brother, Kergigal, took advantage of this moment to stand up. They did not dare to report the battle situation to the Demon King.Alexia's lizard and draconian armies are conquering the eastern land and have made great achievements. At this time, why should they tell Black Yao that their side has suffered a defeat?It’s hard to guarantee whether that capricious guy will exterminate the rest of us, so Gilkegar took the remaining troops and stationed them in the forest along the Amber River, which is less than 20 meters away from the foot of Mount Feia. Fra, if someone crosses Mount Feia, they can attack them, and at the same time, they can also search for the fleeing humans through the river.Orcs like human women because they don't have any females among them. If they hadn't had sex with succubi for thousands of years in the demon world, they would have been exterminated.

This is also the reason why they are attached to the Demon King and Lilim.

Lilim is an ambitious king. She knows that she has no position if she continues like this. It will not be good for her if the devil destroys the world. They seek essence. This kind of thing is extremely abundant in human beings. The body of the succubus can absorb the essence. Convert to Mana to gain more power from them.Although the women of the Abyss clan are not as powerful as men, they can make themselves stronger in this way, and now... Lilim has fallen, and Gilkegar also received information that later the Dragon Queen also failed, and the Demon King She already knew that the remaining orcs were hiding in the forest, but she didn't care about their life or death at all. She just took Nomu to strategize in the Agat Fortress.But how long can this calmness last?

The Black Knight and his brother failed. There is no news about Beyer so far, and he may have died midway. Lilim's death has put the survival of the Orcs into question. Now even the undefeated Dragon Queen Alexia... I'm afraid we'll never get another chance.Who can do these things?

——Brave!Every orc has the answer in his mind. Even the low-intelligent trolls and ogres can understand that the destined brave man chosen by angels and gods has come to this world again. He can do it just by the light on his body. If he can destroy the ghouls, the huge power of the trolls and trolls will be easily deflected by him, so how can we win?Is it just for the glory of fighting?There are still my compatriots in the demon world, but with the death of Lilim, it will be more difficult for them to survive in the future. Has the Demon King considered these issues?Does she really care about our life or death?

Do we really want to continue following her?The muscular warriors hesitated in the face of battle for the first time. Jirkgar still remembered that more than two years ago, there was a half-demon who acted as the demon king-Lian Arkad. The orcs fight endlessly for territory in the forest.Jirkgal's brother Naqashgar was defeated by this seemingly weak man. He relied on force but not violence to make his brother surrender, which eased the dispute between the two clans. If the Demon King hadn't awakened, he might have survived. Being able to lead us, although many people are dissatisfied with this pretty boy, his calm personality may be what we lack.

There is no time.This time, the person who came to us this time was an abyss demon who called himself Crow. We had never heard of this person's name. He went straight to the point and offered to defeat the demon king with us.It's really a fantasy, but no one dares to look down upon a guy who can still smile after walking alone through the orc forest and passing through multiple traps to the orc chief's multi-story fortress. As a result, Lord Jirkgar refused, and our The leader believed that loyalty was also a kind of honor. This Crow did not force it, nor did he take action to silence him. He just said that the war would start soon, and it would not be the brave man who killed the Demon King, but him.

The Demon King is the disease of this world, Crowe said, even the Demons should not stand on her side, because she hates everything in this world.

She is the seed of revenge, the bud of destruction.

She is a hateful guy who only has the desire for destruction in her mind, and even merges with human beings and tramples on our dignity. If it weren't for the blessing of the Demon King's soul, we would have no reason to continue to struggle with her!

The facts prove that there is nothing wrong. Our last king and this powerful abyss demon died together. The huge magic circle has been drawn long ago, and the rock fortress that will never fall was completely destroyed today.The battle of Agat was premeditated. I took this news back to see Chief Gilkegar, and we didn’t know what was ahead.Where to go? Are we going to surrender to humanity?Come on, they'll just kill us all because we can't reconcile anymore.

No matter how much time it takes.

300 years ago, I remember the ancestors said that the Demon King liked the orcs because she said the orcs were kind to her.

Would she still think that way now?

◆ ◇

"You haven't seen us." Lian said, and put down the orc warrior.

"Yes, I haven't seen him before." Faced with Lian's hint, the orc spoke Common Language, and the young man erased his memory of seeing him.He rolled his eyes, then vomited twice. Lian picked up Veda and jumped away. Within a moment, the orc seemed to have returned to the way it was before being attacked by Lian. He looked at the trees on one side and found a squirrel sitting next to the small stone. The soldier cursed and left.The rain in the sky has completely stopped. Will Chris still wait for her at this time?Or should we continue marching?

Lian didn't want her to go too fast and had to give Princess Latia some time. What they needed now was cooperation instead of going their own way.

And the closer to the truth, the more frightened Lian becomes. He has several conjectures, but the current clues seem to lead him to the worst one.

"Aren't you going to kill him?" Vida asked.

Lian shook his head, "That's not necessary. Our purpose is not to kill him, we want to obtain more information."

"About what?"

"The Demon King's, the Hero's, and our own."

He looked down at the lovely Veda and smiled, "There is an orc fortress in the woods in front. After walking for a few miles, you can see the large and small spiked bunkers. That is their home. The leader is named Jirkgar. , and I still have some fate.”

"edge?"

"Yes." Lian stretched out her hand towards Veda, "His brother, Naqashgar is my defeated general. I will do something similar today and will never use force."

"Lian is really weird. You have so much power but rarely use it."

"This is natural," he replied, "Subduing the enemy's troops without fighting is a good thing."

"Hey, what do you mean!" Weda was a little anxious.

Lian took the girl's hand and said, "It means that we are not real enemies."
