Lord Ostia, start by capturing the Dark Elf Knight alive

I had originally thought he would be a burly man, after all, according to rumors, he was almost three meters tall, a monster with a man standing on his fists and a horse running on his shoulders. But now it seems that he is indeed sturdy, but not the kind of big guy who looks a bit stupid.

"Princess Lilia, this is our Lord Enxi Odis, the Lord of Shivaash Territory."

"Gui'an, I'm Lilia, and I'm no longer a princess. My beastly second brother teamed up with the demons to kill my father and took possession of my mother."

"And I... Lord Enxi Odis, I..."

At this point, Lilia fell silent. She didn't even know how to ask the man in front of her to help her get revenge. But she couldn't even make any promises.

Her knights had been defeated, and the white knights who had followed her were all lost in the battle betrayed by the traitor. The Black Queen's horrific magic not only destroyed their bodies, but also enslaved their souls.

As for those Rose Knights, she would never be able to forget how those knights, who were as close as sisters, were humiliated by those monsters. They begged, hoped, and longed for her to give them a quick death.

But she... couldn't do anything.

Odis saw the embarrassment of the girl in front of him and could guess what she was going to do, but he was not a saint. It was not impossible for him to help, but you had to offer something equal or nearly equal.

Well, a princess. Without the Knights and with her kingdom taken over, what could she offer as a reward?

Body? Maybe. Allegiance? Maybe. But thinking about it, Odis suddenly had a bold idea. He was also a Paradox player in the early years, and he was very good at Europa Universalis. Isn't this a very good claim?

Being stared at by Odis, Lilia felt that she was being seen through. The honest, pure and kind-hearted knight couldn't help but lower her head, trying to look at her toes to relieve her embarrassment, but she couldn't see anything.

In a sense, it's a good thing, but now it's a bit embarrassing.

"Your Highness Lilia, let's sit down and talk."

In order to ease the awkward situation, Odis spoke first and decided to turn the girl in front of him into the one he claimed to be. He had a bold idea. The Shivaash Territory must have a human mistress. A foreign girl could not become the queen of this future kingdom. This was the convention of the human countries.

Originally, he was a bit troubled about the selection of the mistress of the territory. He was not a great anthropologist, but he also had to consider the issue of his future successor. Because he was almost at the level of a demigod, once he reached the level of a demigod, he had to consider igniting the divine fire and becoming a god.

If he didn't want the empire he had built to fall apart, he needed to leave behind an heir who could win the support of the people.

The princess knight in front of him had a very good reputation on the road. She was known as both the White Jasmine Princess Knight Lilia and the Iris Princess Knight Alicia Alcutorus.

If it's her, it's not bad.

Lilia heaved a sigh of relief when she heard the words of the man in front of her. At this moment, she kept calculating in her mind what she had now, trying to choose what to use to impress the other party.

His power, well, is almost legendary, no, it should be said that it will soon be legendary. This can be regarded as a decisive force in any country.

And then there is...his own military ability. He is able to lead a group of knights in battles all over the country with few defeats, which is considered strong.

Finally...it's myself...

The two people sat on the sofa. The sofa made of Warcraft fur was soft and comfortable. A bottle of red wine and two wine glasses were placed on the small table in the middle. Amber, as the owner of the house, did not ask the maid to serve them, but poured a glass for each of them personally.

"Your Highness Lilia, you are now my captive. According to the rules of the continent, you cannot be considered a free man until you redeem yourself, right?"

While shaking the crystal cup in his hand, Odis pointed out the princess's dilemma at the moment. According to the rules of the continent, nobles rescued from the enemy need to pay a ransom that matches their status to get rid of their status as captives. Otherwise, even if they are treated as slaves, no one will stand up to object, because this is the rule among nobles.

And it is obvious that Lilia is now unable to pay the ransom that is commensurate with her status, that is, the princess level.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lilia's face turned pale instantly. In fact, it was not just her, but also the members of her knights who were still alive. They were at least knights, and could be considered small nobles. Everyone was a prisoner of war before the ransom was paid!

"So, there are two paths for you to choose from, Your Highness Lilia." Seeing that Lilia did not answer, Odis smiled and said to her, "First, you pay the ransom and hire me to help you get revenge."

"Second, become my fiancée, and at the same time declare yourself the queen of the Kingdom of Rufen, and spread the message across the continent to call on the civilians and slaves of the Kingdom of Rufen to come to the Territory of Shivaash. Every civilian who comes here can get fifty acres of land and three orc slaves. Every slave who comes here can get rid of his slave status and become a free man after cultivating a hundred acres of farmland."

"I choose another path, Lord Odis. I choose to be your wife!"

Lilia took a deep breath, looked at the man in front of her, and made another choice. She knew that the other party was forcing her to express her opinion. But what could she do? Fight? She couldn't beat him. Run? She couldn't run away.

She had no choice but to follow the rules or not.

There seem to be two roads, but in fact there is only one road.

She couldn't possibly watch her mother continue to be ravaged by that beast day and night, and she couldn't possibly watch her former subordinates, those Rose Knights, become military prostitutes and be humiliated every day.

Chapter 22: The Black Queen is about to ignite the divine fire and become a deity

Odis was very keenly aware of the difference in the words of Miss Lilia in front of him. He was talking about fiancée, while the other party was talking about wife. A fiancée on this continent is only equivalent to an engagement. It is hard to say when to get married, and it is even possible not to get married for a lifetime.

This kind of thing has long been played out by the nobles on the mainland. Many noble ladies even have more than a dozen fiancés before getting married, and their lives are extremely decadent. Of course, after getting married, more or less, they will basically have some male lovers.

He actually just wanted a name, but looking at the girl's attitude, she seemed to be serious. Could she be greedy for my body? Odis subconsciously looked into Lilia's eyes, and when he glanced at her, this brave and resolute knight girl blushed and lowered her head.

At this moment, Amber next to him was squeezing the red wine bottle in his hand, and he was telling himself in his heart, I am not angry, I cannot be angry, I have no right to be angry. [○?｀Д′? ○] I am still angry!!!

"Becoming my wife is not that simple. Become a legend first, otherwise you won't even be qualified to stand by my side."

After a long while, Odis said this to the girl in front of him, and then said: "I will tell everyone that you are my fiancée now, so you need to take on some responsibilities."

Lilia's body trembled slightly, then she stood up suddenly, walked to Odis, knelt on her left knee, and then beat her chest with her right hand, repeating this three times. This is the etiquette of knights before going into battle on the continent, which means that no matter how powerful the enemy in front is, the knight will not choose to escape!

Based on Odis's understanding of Lilia, this action by the other party means that no matter what task he assigns to her, she will do it, even if it means facing death!

Both he and Lilia knew very well that the human nations would not care about the change of the throne of the Kingdom of Rufen, because the prince who started the rebellion was indeed of the royal blood of Rufen. Even though he came to the throne through rebellion and slept with the queen of the previous king, so what?

Aren’t there enough such things in the human kingdom?

It has never been a problem for the inferior to defeat the superior. Even if the inferior uses the means of the demons, as long as the other party ascends the throne, the human countries must recognize the other party's status. This is the rule!

Therefore, Lilia's only hope is the pioneering knight Enxi Odis.

Odis scanned Lilia's attributes again and found that the original one had become loyalty, and it was as high as 70, so he was completely relieved. This kind of upright knight would never betray as long as she swore allegiance, especially Lilia who had the attribute of chastity.

Odysseus was very satisfied with Lilia. He walked up to her, helped her up, and asked, "Ms. Lilia, welcome to join the Shivaash Territory."

"Thank you, Mr. Odis. However, I have something to explain to you. It is about the deal between my stupid brother and the Black Queen. The Black Queen wanted to capture me for an evil purpose."

After Lilia was helped up, she suddenly said this to Odis in a very serious tone, which made Odis instantly alert, and then looked at Lilia, hoping to get the next words.

"The Black Queen is going to ignite the divine fire and be deified."

After hearing this, the red wine bottle in the hand of Amber, who was serving beside him, fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a thick fur carpet on the ground, otherwise it would have been smashed to pieces.

The Black Queen is going to be deified. This news is not good for either humans or Enxi Odis.

"The Black Queen is a deity, but why did she want to capture you?"

Odis immediately understood what Lilia meant and asked with a frown. He originally thought that this was a normal drama of fighting for the throne, but he didn't expect that there was a deeper inside story.

"I don't know, but the dark elf you captured, the red-haired killer Chloe, must know."

"Originally, my knights and I would not necessarily lose to those monsters, but she had a magic scroll drawn by the Black Queen herself. The terrifying black magic completely suppressed the holy light energy of me and my knights."

Lilia almost gnashed her teeth when she said this. After all, seeing those familiar subordinates being suppressed and dismembered by ogres, and those female Rose Knights having their clothes torn apart by goblins and then being humiliated one after another, anyone would be furious and want to kill!

"Holy Light? I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. Can I feel it?"

Odis thought, Holy Light Qi is definitely from the divine system. What does the Black Queen, who practices dark magic, need this thing for? Do you think you are too dark and want to bleach it?

Faced with this request, Lilia naturally had no intention of objecting. She raised her hand, and a white light ball with a faint blue flame appeared on her slender white hand. Almost instantly, a force that moistened people's hearts swept through the entire room.

"Is this the holy light?" Odis stretched out a finger and reached towards the light ball. As soon as he touched it, he felt the core of the light ball's power, warmth, healing, and clarity of mind. This thing was the result of pure will and light power.

Even though it has a healing effect when it touches something, it is a different story if it is used on an evil creature. This thing is highly targeted at evil creatures, and a low-level evil creature may die on the spot if it is touched.

"Yes, this is my holy light energy. I am the only one in the entire continent who is born with this purest holy light energy. In fact, the white knights under my command all cultivated it through the power seeds I shared with them."

Lilia did not hide the fact that she was born with the ability to use holy light. In this world, there is holy light, but most of it is cast by priests and priests relying on the power of gods.

He is the only one in the entire continent who can use pure holy light energy by his own strength.

"I understand. I will go back and interrogate the captain of the Black Queen's guard, the one who bloodily murdered Ji Chloe."

Odis nodded, then said to Lilia: "Come with me, I will take you to a place."

After Odis finished speaking, he picked up Lilia and jumped out of the window, not caring at all that this was the third floor. The moment he jumped into the air, his huge red dragon wings spread out, and the wind he created even made the plants on the ground turn withered and yellow.

Lilia didn't react at first, and then her pretty face turned red, but she didn't resist.

Chapter 23 What I Saw Was Hope

As Odysseus spread his dragon wings and soared into the sky, almost half of the people in the city saw Odysseus and Lilia in his arms. Almost all the women cast envious eyes towards Lilia, while the men envied Odysseus's cool dragon wings.

Soon, Odis landed in a slightly remote corner. There was no other advantage here except that it was quiet.

Before Odysseus put Lilia down, a group of children had already gathered here. Only then did Lilia see that this was actually an orphanage. To be precise, this place was used to adopt the orphans of those soldiers who had died for Odysseus during his wars.

Odis was well aware of the cruelty of the world towards these orphans and widows, so he made a choice that surprised everyone.

That is to take care of the orphans of all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for him, so that these orphans and widows can live in this cruel world. Although it is only a certain degree of care, for the people in this world... it is the first time in the world.

This is also the fundamental reason why he can defeat the enemy with fewer troops and remain undefeated. Otherwise, even a god of war would be helpless against an army that only wants to escape after fighting.

Looking at these children, Odis smiled from the bottom of his heart. Different from those children who still had mothers and families, these children were orphans in the true sense and would be his future team members.

"Tell me, what did you see?"

Odis turned to look at Lilia beside him. At this moment, the knight girl had already tidied up her slightly messy clothes. After hearing the other party's question, Lilia glanced at these children and saw something in their eyes that was almost invisible elsewhere.

The next moment, two words came out of his mouth.

"vitality."

Yes, it is vitality. These children have a vision for the future in their eyes, instead of the indifferent look that cannot be changed in the eyes of ordinary children in other countries.

"Vitality? What I see is hope."

Odis looked at the children who had automatically formed a line in front of him, smiled, and said, "I plan to let you stay here and teach them not only martial arts but also knowledge. Teach them everything you know. They are the future of this country."

"You mean to ask me to teach these children to read and write?"

Lilia looked at the man in front of her as if he were a monster. She considered that he would ask her to train the army, or lead troops to war, and she even thought about asking him to sleep with her.

Well, Lilia has this awareness.

Or in other words, if she didn't have this awareness, she wouldn't be here.

But she never expected that the other party would actually let her teach these children knowledge. That was knowledge. With the amount of knowledge she had as a princess, if she were to be taught normally, the huge cost would be enough to bankrupt a count!

"No, not just these children. In the future, they will become you and teach other children. Sooner or later, I want every child in my country to be able to read and write."

When Odis said this, there was a light in his eyes, a kind of reminiscence and regret, reminiscing about the country in his memory and regretting his fate of not being able to return.

At this moment, Lilia looked at the man in front of her, as if she was looking at a god walking in the world. No, even gods couldn't do such a thing. Such a man must be a great king. What this man did was worth her following for a lifetime!

Even though this may just be a dream, it is like someone lighting a spark in the deepest darkness. In the future, perhaps that spark can start a prairie fire.

Odis didn't know that at this moment, Lilia's loyalty attribute jumped directly from seventy to ninety.

Because, after putting Lilia down and introducing her to the orphanage manager and asking her to get familiar with the children, he immediately turned around and flew away. He now had to re-examine the gift that Brother Wolf had given him.

Tsk tsk, she already stuck out her tongue last night, but she still didn’t give in. Should I say that she is worthy of being a woman with the attribute of being loyal and faithful?

It seems that we have to use some special means this time, otherwise it will be really difficult to deal with.

Returning to his bedroom, Odis found that it had been cleaned up. He thought that our Luca was really a very serious maid. It should be said that she was worthy of being able to surpass the Gemini maids and become his personal maid in the city lord's mansion.

"Luca, I'm in the bedroom, come meet me!"

Luca, who was originally waiting for Odis to come back in the reception room, instantly came to Odis through shadow teleportation.

"Sir, you're back!" Luca lifted her skirt slightly and saluted Odis, then walked over consciously and asked Odis, "Do you need to relieve your sexual desire? Luca is ready to serve you at any time!"

Odis was embarrassed for a moment, thinking, no need for the time being, he had a thorough purge last night, so at least he should be able to hold out until the evening. This matter was also due to the red dragon blood in his body, as everyone knows, the dragon nature is a bit...

At the beginning, he didn't refine much dragon blood, so he could hold on. But now that he is about to ascend to the demigod, the dragon blood in his body is boiling, and when the anger comes up, he can't calm down at all. If he wants to work, he must suppress his anger and calm the boiling blood.

And the solution, naturally, is to use a method that everyone understands.

"Phew, not for now. Take me to Chloe. I need to interrogate her."

Odis shook his head slightly. He was eager to know the information about the Black Queen's deification. This was too important. If Lilia's words were true, he had to destroy the Black Queen's deification plan. Otherwise, once she succeeded in deifying, the entire North would be shrouded in the power of black magic, and his territory would basically be ruined.

The reason why a large area of ​​the North has become a barren land is largely due to the leakage of the Black Queen's magic. The demigod-level Black Queen is so terrifying. If she succeeds in becoming a god, the magic burst in that instant will be enough to completely destroy the entire North.

This kind of thing must be guarded against.

Don't talk about killing the Black Queen. She has been the king of the North for hundreds of years. Would the Seven Shields dare to fart? What's the goddess's extra? Do you dare to go to the North to cause trouble for the Black Queen?

This kind of monster who can ignite the divine fire and become a god is the ceiling of this planet. At this moment, Odis almost put everything aside. He had to pry Chloe's mouth open, no matter what method he used.

Chapter 24: The Black Queen

Northland, Black Castle, Queen's Palace.

The dark elf queen, who was tall and plump with wheat-colored skin, was leaning on her throne at this moment. Her two slender and plump thighs wrapped in purple boots were crossed together. One hand supported her head, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
