“I see…” Jessica nodded silently, “…Anyway, no matter what you plan to do, I will follow you until the last moment!”
Although Jessica was indeed a little hesitant about acting together with the demons, after all, her second brother and parents died at the hands of the demons.
But since it was Livi's decision, and according to Livi, these were different from the invading demons in the past and had been completely "transformed" by Livi, so she chose to believe Livi's words.
but……
"...It's a bit troublesome. I'm willing to believe you, but those people from the Dawn of the Abyss may not be willing to believe the demons."
Although the Dawn of the Abyss is an organization that resists the rule of the Empire and shares the same goal with Livi, the Kingdom of Abyss has been invaded by demons several times and has suffered greatly from them. The blood debt cannot be easily covered up by a simple statement of "the overall situation is more important".
Originally, Jessica couldn't really accept it. After all, her parents and her second brother had an irreconcilable blood feud. However, now she has a great wish to save everyone. For this wish, she can put aside her personal grudges.
But after all, this is only her personal awareness. It is impossible to use such standards to demand everyone. The people of Dawn of the Abyss hate the oppression of the empire and also hate the demons. It is very reasonable for them to be unwilling to cooperate with the demons.
Although Jessica has achieved initial cooperation with them, even with Jessica acting as a middleman, she can only convince some people at most.
"Well, I am also aware that there is a lot of resistance, but I am also sure that the key is not how to say it, but how to do it... As long as we make definite achievements, people will naturally change their minds."
"So..." Aenekos, who had been silent for a long time, jumped over and got into Livi's pocket. He poked his little head out and rubbed it against Livi comfortably. "...Lady Livi, what should we do next?"
"... Let's go meet the people from Abyssal Dawn first. No matter what their attitude is, we should still make contact with them first. After all, they are comrades who are fighting against the Empire together. It would be best if we could become companions."
The so-called core essence of war is to unite all forces that can be united, to make more friends and fewer enemies.
The Dawn of the Abyss has been passed down on this land for three hundred years. During this period, it has been suffering from the double suppression of the empire and the kingdom, but it is still trying hard to help the kingdom get rid of the tyranny of the empire.
This kind of backbone alone is enough to make people admire him, and he is someone who can strive to become a gay.
Such resistance organizations exist in all five vassal states. If they come together, they are a force that cannot be underestimated.
Even within the empire, there are people who cannot tolerate the tyranny of the empire. This can be regarded as the spark planted by Livi's original actions.
Many of these people have been executed by the Empire, but some have not yet exposed themselves and can also become powerful allies.
"...The next goal, of course, is to gather all the forces that can be assembled and form a resistance force to overthrow the empire!"
The prerequisite for doing things is naturally to put forward your own demands first, which is also to ensure your original intention, and then ignore public opinion and do what you should do.
As long as the results are constantly made public, people who are willing to understand and agree with the demands will naturally gather together.
Of course, we are still a long way from "raising our arms and calling for action". Livi has only two or three cats, big and small, which are far from enough to pose any impact on the entire huge empire.
"I see. I'll contact you..."

Abyss Kingdom - Stone Knight Manor...
...Inai and Juna have been settled in the home of the Knight Stone. Although they are young, they grew up in a small rural border town after all. They have never been spoiled since childhood, and their abilities are not much worse than those of adults.
After only a few days, the two little guys have already adapted to life in the manor. After all, they are working for the knight's house, which is actually much better than when they were in Gamerica Town.
Although Stone himself was only a third-rate noble, he had a manor as his fiefdom. Relying on the output of the manor, it was easy for him to live a self-sufficient life, and he also had plenty of surplus food.
But the two little guys naturally never forgot their parents for a moment, and they looked forward to Jessica's response every day.
Stone has been trying to comfort the two little guys, but to be honest, he himself has no idea what's going on, because he knows very well how dangerous this operation is.
When Jessica left, she was determined not to return.
A week later, Jessica came back...
...At the same time, of course, the news of the death of Ina and Juna's parents was also brought back.
When Jessica took out the blood-stained new skirt with a guilty look on her face and gave it to Juna, and told her the news, Juna fainted on the spot holding the skirt and crying. Naturally, Inai was not much better.
Listening to the two girls crying, Jessica felt heartbroken. She tried to apologize to the two girls and comfort them, but she couldn't open her mouth.
After all, the death of both parents was such a blow to the two girls, and what words could comfort them?
Knight Stone looked reluctant, but he could only force himself to shake his head and comfort her.
"This cannot be blamed on Miss Jessica. It is all the empire's atrocities. You are lucky to be able to return safely. By the way..."
Stone was also curious about one thing, "...Miss Jessica, you met General Lei An? Then, how did you get away?"
Of course, Stone didn't think that Jessica could defeat Lei An with the help of Avalon. Although he didn't know how strong Lei An was, at least he knew how strong Carl was.
Any of the eight generals of the empire is much stronger than Karl, and Lei An, as one of the three pillars, is much stronger than the other generals. With such a comparison, we can naturally have a rough idea.
To this, Jessica naturally answered immediately.
"Because someone saved me, and she also defeated General Lei An..."
"?!" Stone was naturally shocked, "Is this true?"
"Well, and that... I hope to meet with Mr. Stone to discuss something..."
Stone was naturally very surprised that such a powerful person wanted to meet him, but he still did not forget to ask an important question first.
"Excuse me, who is that person?"
"…The current Demon King, Livi."
"what?"
——————————————————————————————————————
Well, today is the fourth update~

Chapter 161: Half-sentenced Scares
Jessica was halfway through her words when she almost scared Stone on the opposite side to the point of having high blood pressure.
Fortunately, Jessica immediately added the second half of the sentence...
"...That demon king is none other than the brave Levi-sama."
"..."
Jessica clearly saw a strong sense of doubt in Stone's eyes. It's not that he didn't understand what Jessica said, but he was completely puzzled by the content of it.
No, what happened?
Jessica also knew that the content was really challenging to people's worldviews, so she calmed herself down and explained the key points of the matter.
"...In other words, the brave Levi was executed by the Empire, but because of the power of the stigmata, he was reincarnated into the Demon Realm and became a demon. Then he unified the demons in the Demon Realm and became the Demon King?"
"Correct!"
"..."
To be honest, looking at Stone's expression at this moment, if Jessica hadn't said this, Stone would probably have meant that you drank a lot last night, so go to sleep and wake up.
Why are you talking nonsense in broad daylight?
However, since it came from Jessica's mouth, based on her feelings for the hero Levi, she would never make such a joke about such a thing.
So this means that something that sounds like a joke can actually be true?
Naturally, Stone was silent for a while after hearing this. He immediately stood up and paced back and forth in the study.
Of course, Livi knew that such a visit was quite abrupt, so she didn't go directly to the door, but asked Jessica to say hello on her behalf. If the other party agreed to meet, then there would be things to discuss.
If Stone refused outright right from the start, then we would just have to give up.
Livi didn't come forward directly, naturally in order not to cause too much psychological pressure on Stone. Stone walked back and forth in the study for seven or eight minutes, and after Jessica felt a little dizzy, he finally stopped.
"If it's Lord Levi, then of course we welcome him. But, he actually said he became the Demon King. Doesn't that mean that the people who attacked the border fortress and even the town of Jiamelica before were Lord Levi's subordinates?"
"Well, it is true, but... we didn't hurt anyone!"
Unconsciously, Jessica had already put herself into the situation and began to defend herself subconsciously.
Stone was silent for a moment, and just when he was about to speak, he suddenly stopped.
"Who's out there?"
Jessica naturally also felt the approaching breath from outside, but she realized the identity of that breath earlier than Stone.
It was Ina and Juna. The two girls had stopped crying. Although their expressions were still distraught, they appeared here at this moment as if they had something to say.
Seeing the two children, Stone and Jessica's expressions naturally softened. "What's wrong? Do you have anything to say?"
"Well, at that time...were Sister Mava and Aenekos and the others companions of Lord Levi?"
By the way, these two girls had direct contact with Mava and Aenekos.
And they are all from the town of Jiamerica, and are the direct parties involved in this incident.
Then, they naturally have more say than anyone else.
"...We believe what Jessica said. Although we haven't been together for a long time, Mava and Aenekos...have not hurt us, nor do they intend to hurt anyone in the town."
As for the militia that got beaten up, it was the militia that started the fight first after all.
Of course, considering that they came to the town on their own initiative to cause trouble, there can be no problem with the militia’s behavior.
However, there were indeed no serious injuries. The most seriously injured person only had some minor skin injuries. As for the subsequent attack on the border fortress and the robbery of a warehouse of military supplies, there was no news of any casualties either.
Combined with the statements here, it can provide evidence for Jessica's words. After all, the demons that attacked this time did behave strangely.
If what Jessica said was true, then it would explain the problem.
It turns out that behind these demons are former heroes?
Considering that Livi asked Jessica to come over and say hello first this time instead of just showing up abruptly, she was being polite.
After thinking it over, Stone nodded.
"Well, I'm really curious about what Lord Levi wants to talk to me about. Okay, let's talk, but there is one thing I want to say first..."
Stone paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "I am only a member of the Abyss Dawn. I am not qualified to make decisions for the entire organization."
It can only be said that after all, she was a member of the underground organization who was able to survive tenaciously in such an environment. As soon as she started talking, she had already roughly guessed Livi's purpose.
So I have to be frank with you, and Jessica naturally understands this.
"Of course. Then, please discuss the details with Lady Livy."
At this point, Ina and Juna seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"what happened?"
Jessica and Stone felt sorry for the two girls and started asking questions right away. After hesitating for a while, Inai gritted his teeth and stepped forward to speak.
"Lord Stone, can you please allow us to join the Abyss Dawn?"
"..."
Stone and Jessica didn't seem too surprised by this sentence. These two children lost their parents and must be feeling extremely sad.
Apart from sadness, another emotion is naturally hatred and anger.
This is understandable. How could such a blood feud be easily settled?
Therefore, they made this request now, naturally hoping to become a part of the Dawn of the Abyss and personally avenge their parents' blood debt from the Empire in the future.
Many members of Dawn of the Abyss joined in this way.
After all, hatred is indeed a good source of effort, and revenge is the eternal theme of destiny throughout the ages.
However, this momentary hatred was most likely just a momentary anger that clouded his mind, so Stone still spoke decisively.
"Kids, I understand how you feel, but this is no joke. Calm down first. Once you've calmed down, if you're still so determined..."
Stone thought for two seconds, then responded seriously, "I will be your recommender. Anyone who is willing to contribute to the fight against the tyranny of the empire is welcome!"
After saying this, Stone also looked up at Jessica, "Please reply to Lady Livi, I can meet her anytime..."
"it is good……"
