As a tyrant, it's reasonable for me to snatch the heroine away

This character of Craig...

At least for Morning Star, unless he can guarantee the other party's 100% loyalty and turn him into a follower like everyone else, otherwise...

This is also why Morning Star still chose to make Golgolo the official heir of the Long-eared Tribe.

Rather than Craig, who is more capable.

Morning Star doesn't want to adopt the idea of ​​trusting people when hiring them. The best option is not to hire people you don't trust.

After all, reality is not a game. You can't reload the game and take revenge if someone stabs you in the back.

What happened in the Dawn Kingdom was a wake-up call for Morning Star.

A little caution... not a bad thing.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I'm of humble origins, and I don't even have a surname..."

Craig didn't hide anything either.

He understood that with a being like Morning Star, all his lies would be exposed.

The best way is to show everything about yourself.

Even if I can't gain the trust of His Highness the Morning Star...

"Is that so... Then what do you think of the current situation of the orcs?"

"Orcs? I think that although the Houndstooth High Collar is now..."

"I'm talking about your true thoughts! What do you think of the side of you that you've been hiding?"

Before Craig could finish, Morning Star's words made the other party completely silent.

As expected, from the very beginning, the other party had seen through me completely!

This Lord Grullit Morningstar is even more... terrifying than I imagined!

Just by meeting for the first time, I can notice things about myself that I have never shown before.

This concealment and disguise had gone unnoticed by anyone in the Houndstooth High Collar for a full ten years.

But for Chenxing it is still... just a glance!

Chapter 10 War Maniac

A silent, tense atmosphere filled the entire room.

Even though Chenxing did not show any anger or questioning expression or tone.

But Craig still felt...

The other party was like an insurmountable mountain, standing before him.

No matter how he hides or uses other means, he is just like an ant to this mountain.

It won't affect the other party in the slightest.

"Forget it if you don't plan to say it. I am a very kind person... I will never force others to do something they don't want to do."

Chenxing said with a smile.

But I still sighed helplessly in my heart.

Before Chenxing could stand up, Craig suddenly spoke.

But this time, Craig's face no longer had the smile and humility that he had maintained for years.

There was even a hint of...madness in his eyes.

"No, in front of His Highness... I am willing to say it. After all, I have always felt that... although this may sound like I am being arrogant or overestimating my own abilities, I have always felt that... His Highness and I are of the same kind!"

Craig said it very bluntly.

The stone that had been hanging in my heart seemed to have... fallen down.

Disguise may not be difficult, but if you want to disguise for one, two, or even ten years, or even... you will have to wear that "mask" in public for the rest of your life.

really tired!

But Craig also understood that it was a crazy idea that could not be revealed to anyone.

That is an idea that will never be allowed to appear in this world.

"Are you the same kind as me? How do you know?"

Chenxing said this while tapping his fingers on the armrest.

There was no questioning tone in his voice, but rather a...simple inquiry.

Maybe it's out of curiosity, or maybe...

I already knew what the next answer would be.

At least that's what Craig thought.

That intuition, the feeling that the other person seems to know everything about me and can control everything about me, always lingers in my mind.

But even so, Craig still did not back down.

He knew that as long as he faced His Highness the Morning Star, there was a high possibility that this scene would occur.

Rather than saying there is no way out, it is better to say that...

We have been prepared for this situation to occur.

Besides, there's nothing wrong with this...

If you are wrong, then dying at the hands of the other party would be a relief for you.

But what if..... is right?

"You clearly have the ability to completely destroy the Dawn Kingdom by yourself. The incident in the Dawn Kingdom's capital is enough to prove this, but you didn't..."

"so what?"

"So... I think Your Highness is not simply fighting against the enemy country, but... enjoying that feeling!"

At this point, Craig's face clearly broke into a smile again.

The emotions are also obvious...a little excited.

Maybe it's not just excitement.

"The pleasure of conquest, the pleasure of trampling, and even... the pleasure of destruction! You want to enjoy it all, enjoy... war!"

Craig's words made Morning Star certain.

The opponent is still the same as in the original game plot, still that...almost crazy personality.

But I say I enjoy war...

It seems that my reputation outside is really not very good.

Of course, Chenxing doesn't care about such things at all. What others think of him is meaningless.

Craig, on the other hand...

"So, do you think I will... use the same method against the Houndstooth High Collar?"

"No, this is also the answer I want to give to your question. My opinion on the current orcs and the Houndstooth High Collar is... they simply cannot bring any pleasure to your Highness. So your goal has never been the Houndstooth High Collar, but..."

Craig said, pointing to the north.

That direction represents...the Holy Empire!

Now that the dog-toothed high collar has completely rotted, in Craig's opinion, its only use for Morning Star and the Kingdom of Grullit is...

Deal with the Holy Kingdom in the north!

After all, only by confronting the Holy Empire head-on can we launch...

The biggest war in this world, in this era!

Only such an enemy and such a war can truly bring satisfaction to an existence like Morning Star!

It can also make him...

Craig finished speaking and looked towards Morning Star with anticipation and excitement.

Looking forward to and longing for...Morning Star's answer.

"I have a friend. Although I have only met him once, we can still be considered friends..."

Chenxing did not answer Craig directly, but suddenly changed the subject and talked about...

This is the only one that makes Chen Xing, a time traveler, feel sorry for him...

"When we first met, he asked me this question: What do you think of war? If it were you, how would you answer?"

"I feel that war... is an art. It can even be said to be the most elegant art among all races!"

Craig's answer was also very decisive.

In his view, war is a supreme existence.

It is a kind of art that can make people feel relaxed and happy, a work of art that will never be desecrated!

"Whether it's a war of annihilation, a war of defense, a war of siege, a guerrilla war, even if it's a one-sided crushing, a one-sided slaughter, vocal, silent, on the battlefield, strategically, destroying, protecting, as long as it's a war, it's...eternal!"

Craig's passionate voice echoed throughout the room.

It was as if he was personally present in every war.

The orcs of today have long lost their true glory and their true pursuit.

They simply cannot see the pleasure contained in war, which was called supreme by their ancestors and comes from the depths of their blood.

Craig understood, even though he had never seen Morning Star before, but those deeds made him understand.

Morning Star is the only one in this world, in this era, who masters war.

As long as I can follow in the other person's footsteps, as long as I can follow this "tyrant", I will have a chance, a chance to get the satisfaction I have always dreamed of!

only.......

"What if there is no more war in this world?"

"No! Wherever there is life, there will be desire. As long as there is desire, the smoke of war will... continue forever!"

Looking at Craig's expression at this moment, Morning Star finally understood how Craig was called that in the forum.

What a well-deserved warmonger!

Chapter 11: He is greedy for my body?

"Farewell, Your Highness. I will definitely complete the task you have assigned to me...perfectly!"

As the door of the room opened again, Chenxing slowly walked out.

Craig was the only one left, looking at the figure who seemed to him to be unprecedented and unrivaled, his eyes full of fanaticism.

Even though the conversation had just ended, the passion in Craig's heart had not dissipated in the slightest.

He understood that in the end, the task His Highness had assigned to him was not His Highness's original plan.

But...

A test for yourself!

A test of loyalty and ability!

This opportunity finally came.

The opportunity to be truly recognized, truly trusted, and truly demonstrate one's abilities...has appeared!

The task is also very simple......

Let the long-eared tribe become the only heir to the leader of the hounds-tooth high collar.

Even if the leader of the Long-eared Tribe is not him.

Of course, Craig never set his sights on a puppet leader.
