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

It's absolutely ridiculous!

No matter what the influence is or what the purpose is.

Just like the so-called, in order to "maintain peace", war must be launched.

Peace is not an excuse for war, never has been.

Just like Morningstar’s answer to Helius, war…is just war.

There is nothing good or bad!

Morning Star considers himself a tyrant, and there is nothing shameful about that.

It is always better to be a tyrant than to be unable to protect your kingdom, your subjects, and the people around you!

But if you use the same means and are even a loser, can you deserve the title of a "brave man" just because you are waving the banner of "peace"?

"If you don't know how to explain it, I'll explain it to you!"

Chenxing snorted sarcastically.

"The 'savior' you mentioned personally exacerbated the disaster in the Elf Forest and brought out the Void Beast. Even the sea of ​​blood and corpses in front of you can be said to be his work. So... you still think he is the dragon-slaying warrior and the hero who saved the world from disaster?"

"The war here has nothing to do with Chiba Kyouhei!"

At this point, Melody became visibly agitated.

Ever since she fell into Morning Star's hands, all that she had experienced had gradually eroded the calmness and composure that she had "accumulated" for thousands of years.

Melody explained and explored for herself in her heart, wanting to tell herself that this was all because of Morning Star, and that it was Morning Star's "methods" that influenced her.

But as a being who has lived for thousands of years, possibly even longer, can you really... not see anything?

Some people just don't want to accept the reality that their dreams have collapsed.

Morningstar never tried to influence Melody's judgment and mind, he just showed Melody...

It's just the truth hidden behind this world that the other party has never come into contact with!

"If it really doesn't matter, would you offer to come over?"

"That's because of you!! You knew I couldn't refuse, and you also knew I would have to accept whatever you said or did!!"

"Really? I was the one who asked you to come here?"

Morningstar smiled and shook his head.

It was just a seemingly plain smile, but it made Melody's heart more and more turbulent, and she could no longer calm down.

Ask yourself, did Morning Star really order her to come?

In Melody's heart, she already knew the answer, but she just... was unwilling to face it, let alone accept it.

Even the courage to personally witness the "truth" was lost little by little.

Chapter 12: Cut off one of his arms!

"Your Highness, we have checked. The Holy Empire's troops are basically stationed a little to the north. This place seems to have been...abandoned."

While Melody was still silent, Sheila checked the surrounding situation and hurried back to report.

It seemed that after she took the initiative to talk about those things and expressed her true thoughts, Sheila did become much more cheerful.

Although he was working, his face still had the same serious expression as always.

But at least during the break, I finally saw a smile on that delicate face.

Having been in contact with Xila for such a long time, Chenxing must be able to understand her character. This is a big improvement for Xila.

However, Lilina, who was working with Sheila, had obvious anxiety and tension in her eyes.

He looks worried and it's obvious that he's still concerned about his loved ones.

It’s not Lilina’s fault. Morningstar would do the same if it were him.

It's human nature...

"Well, I see."

Morning Star did not pay much attention to the "layout arrangements" of the Holy Kingdom's troops.

After all, for Asfield now, what he is thinking about is most likely how to maximize the losses.

The arrangement under this circumstance will not have any impact on them, let alone a threat.

The real point is to find some clues through this situation.

For example...how to continue to increase the casualties of the Holy Kingdom!

Asfield is not stupid. He has reached his current position even though he is not very popular in the Holy Kingdom. Even with the secret assistance of the church, not everyone can reach this point.

Not to mention, would the person favored by the church be a simple-minded fool?

If it was just a strategic mistake on the battlefield that resulted in casualties, there might be reasons to explain it once or twice, but if it happened too often, Asfield himself would be embarrassed.

Not only will it fail to increase casualties, but it will also attract unnecessary attention.

This is also the reason why the other party would directly abandon the camp closest to the Blood Moon Island battlefield.

Secondly, there is...

The information provided by Inissa included information related to demons.

According to Inissa, the prince used some small "threatening" tricks that were not worthy of being mentioned in public to force her to participate in a study on demons.

As we all know, because of the racial war thousands of years ago, the demons nowadays have almost disappeared out of necessity.

The few that survived have almost all abandoned their demonic bodies and are only surviving in a parasitic state.

Just like Lilith in Los, or Beelzebub in Presil.

Without exception, they all chose this method which made it easier to survive in today's world.

After all, as one of the losers of that war, if they appeared openly, they would be like their "old friends", either being wiped out along with their souls, or becoming like those ancient demons imprisoned and suppressed by the Blood Moon Island, and would never see the light of day again for the rest of their lives!

But...

With the method provided by Asfield, Inesa really extracted the most "deadly" demon blood!

To be more precise, it is the purest original power of the devil, the purest devil bloodline!

When this happens, it is hard not to link these two issues together.

Perhaps Asfield created the demon blood in order to increase casualties better and faster?

or......

For Asfield himself, the fundamental purpose of causing such casualties was to achieve certain conditions for using the demon blood!

The latter is very likely!

After all, even if this was the plan of Chiba Kyohei or even Isolde, if they wanted to deceive and use someone like Asfield, they would have to show some "sincerity"!

As for demon blood...

"Your Highness, should we...go directly to the Holy Religious State camp?"

Xila looked in the direction of the Holy Empire's garrison and asked curiously.

Of course, she was also present at that video conversation.

Xila really admired Chenxing for being able to cooperate with the Holy Empire, and even the second prince of the Holy Empire.

On the one hand, I admire his wisdom and means, and on the other hand, I naturally admire Chenxing's courage.

I'm afraid only His Highness the Morning Star would dare to cooperate with someone who will inevitably become an enemy, or even a powerful enemy in the future!

only......

The cooperation was indeed reached verbally, but Xila couldn't quite figure out how Chenxing was going to find out about the eldest prince.

Not to mention that Morning Star itself does not have much intersection with the Holy Kingdom.

As for Asfield's situation, even his "own" brother could not see through it.

Where will His Highness Morning Star start?

At least the only thing Xila could think of was to "confront" and "investigate" face to face.

"No, there is nothing to investigate in the Holy Empire's camp. Besides... the great prince will not welcome us!"

Morning Star smiled.

If we really go to the Holy Empire's camp at this time, the only outcome will be a fight.

It may even directly lead to an early war between the Kingdom of Grulith and the Holy Empire.

Morning Star’s next target is indeed the Holy Empire, and the official declaration of war with the Holy Empire will actually begin in the near future.

But definitely not now!

On the surface, a large-scale attack at this time would put the Holy Empire in a dilemma.

But this is only superficial.

You know, in this battle between the Holy Kingdom and Blood Moon Island, the Church was not involved at all!

Chenxing is very clear that the foundation and lifeblood of the Holy Kingdom has always been the church!

If they attack rashly before weakening the "power" of the Church, once the situation is dragged down by the Church, even if the Grullite Kingdom is dozens or even a hundred times stronger, it still cannot afford it.

Therefore, before the war officially begins, it is necessary to cut off one arm of the church first.

This is also one of the reasons why Morningstar chose to cooperate with Helius!

Just imagine, if the royal family of the Holy Empire really broke away from the control of the church to a certain extent, what would happen to the Holy Empire?

And this is actually what Helius wants!

A true holy country that is not controlled by the church and does not exist as a "puppet"!

That's why Morning Star said that he and Helius have no conflict of interest now. On the contrary, their goals are actually the same.

They all hope that the arm of the Holy Empire will be completely torn off.

And this arm naturally belongs to Asfield and the elite seven people he leads!

The church had been secretly working on this plan for hundreds of years, but had only managed to train a few of these people.

What a refreshing sight it would be if they were either killed or injured, or left the Holy Kingdom and the Church!

"We should go there..."

The morning star pointed to the other side of the sea, where the outline of the Blood Moon Island could be vaguely seen with the naked eye!

Chapter 13: The Greatest Threat - Grullit Morningstar

"Sir Scarlet Prince, the Holy Empire has suddenly withdrawn its troops, and the Holy Empire's troops are stationed away from the coastline for the time being."

On Blood Moon Island, a lizardman is reporting the latest intelligence on the battlefield.

What surprised him was that the Holy Empire was the one that made the loudest noise, but at this moment, it seemed to have voluntarily admitted defeat and temporarily ceased fighting.

If it were any other kingdom, perhaps some reasons could be found.

But...that's the Holy Kingdom!

Putting aside the disputes between the Holy Empire and Blood Moon Island over the years, given the character of the Holy Empire, it will not easily let go of the meat it has already bitten.

Perhaps the Holy Empire did suffer heavy losses, but some things always have to be compared.

In comparison, the situation on Blood Moon Island can no longer be described as tragic.

You have to know that Blood Moon Island is a small island with a relatively small area. It is even only about twice the size of a kingdom like the Holy Kingdom.

Because of the curse caused by the devil, it is even more difficult for the island to achieve self-sufficiency in food supply.

If it weren't for the secret "assistance" of the orcs, coupled with the power left by the demons, it would have been more than impossible to survive in the hands of the Holy Kingdom for so many years.

Even so, Blood Moon Island has almost run out of ammunition and food in this almost crazy war!

After all, before this, the Holy Kingdom had never used such a desperate strategy of almost exchanging ten for one.

This obviously made Blood Moon Island a little overwhelmed.
