The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"It turns out that His Excellency Hydra has such a secret force in his hands..."

From the hill, a rough, low and heroic female voice was heard. A woman who was two meters and three meters tall, wearing torn armor, revealing her muscular arms and abdominal muscles, appeared.

"Excuse me, this turns out to be your companion."

She was holding a man in black in her hands: "In order to avoid being discovered, I knocked him out in advance. Fortunately, I didn't kill him."

Ming Furo narrowed her eyes slightly, iron-grey particles dissipated, and the eight floating cannons were ready almost instantly, with dangerous white light emitting from the muzzles; and Xitana had already released a red-black murderous aura, and the all-devouring wolf pack was ready to hunt at any time.

"Oh, sorry, I should introduce myself first."

The woman laughed heartily and said, "You can call me Odumbra. If this name sounds unfamiliar to you, well..."

"One of the eleven commanders of the Revolutionary Army, and the leader of the Desolate Troops. This should make him more famous."

This revolutionary army commander who had sniped at the rear of Duke Blood Dust and Duke Sky Rise and escaped unscathed showed very clear kindness. She politely and gently threw the captured Shadow Swamp member directly to Hitana and said loudly:

"Fort Strife, Desolate Mountain, and Bone Knife asked me to thank you again for your help and care on their behalf."

Castle of Strife...

Xitana loosened her fist hesitantly and said, "Are you the leader of those revolutionary armies?"

"That's it."

Just as Odumbra was about to jump off the hill, he saw that Xitana immediately became alert again, so he smiled and kept a safe distance between the two sides, and stated his purpose in a careless manner: "Huangshan always praises you for being so great, and asked me to recruit you."

"...Are you sick?" Xitana was speechless. "I'm busy saving people. Don't waste my time."

I thought you were here for something, but it turns out you're recruiting me? I remember we were just collaborating last time, right? So now you're going so far as to recruit me? That's just wishful thinking.

"Hey, I just mentioned it casually. I know that the treatment we receive here is definitely not as good as what Mr. Hydra gives you."

"Then what exactly do you want to do here?" Ming Fuluo frowned. "You risked your life to save the refugees during the war. Now you should be busy saving them from being burned by the Flame of Feasting."

"Yeah, so this of course means that I have something more important to talk to you about."

Odumbra crossed his arms across his chest: "Did Lord Hydra tell you about the meeting not long ago?"

Ming Fuluo was about to stop Xitana from speaking, but Miss Wolf, whose spinal nerves were extremely sensitive, instinctively asked back, revealing her true colors: "What meeting?"

"Oh, no." The woman, who was more manly than a man, stroked her chin with her rough, scarred hands. "This is a bit... intriguing."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll just leave." Shitana said impatiently.

"Hahaha, sorry, mainly because I think the two kind people who are so serious about rescuing civilians are not willing to hear this news."

Odumbra's eyes flashed coldly: "In short, His Excellency Hydra assembled the 29 top fifth-order extraordinary people in the empire and tried to break into the Zero Point Maze to directly kill the culprit who caused this disaster, the former Grand Princess."

"What?!" Xitana's voice was instantly out of tune, "Why didn't Anser tell me such an important thing?"

"…You can't go now, so stop arguing and listen to her."

Odumbra continued, "In order to maintain the best condition before breaking through the so-called, um... space maze, Grand Duke Blood Dust proposed to use the lives of nine million civilians to refine a barrier to resist the burning of the Feast Flame, and the current proposal..."

She shrugged. "It's about to be approved."

At this moment in the wasteland, the only sound was the burning flames.

"...You are indeed a psychopath." After a few seconds, Xitana said with great certainty, "You are out of your mind and talking nonsense."

"There is no way Anser will agree to this proposal."

Compared to Xitana's sarcastic tone, Ming Fuluo directly retorted indifferently: "Your lies are indeed ridiculous."

"Indeed, Lord Anser did oppose this proposal... If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have the time to come to you now. I would be busy stopping those lunatics from turning civilians into firewood."

Odumbra looked down at Xitana and Ming Fuluo condescendingly: "Time is running out, and he can only extend the decision on this proposal to one day. If there is no better way, he will eventually adopt this absurd proposal."

"As for whether it's true or not, why don't you just go and ask him directly?"

Xitana and Ming Fuluo fell silent again.

"As for why I came to see you two... the answer is simple. I want to kill Duke Blood Dust."

Odumbra said something extremely dangerous in a nonchalant tone:

"No matter what method I use, I must prepare for the worst and do everything I can to eliminate that possibility. At the same time... I also thought of you, who is highly respected in Huangshan, Xitana Lansmalos, the Miss [Natural Disaster] who is famous throughout the empire."

"I think if you really did what he said, you would never sit back and watch nine million lives... just like garbage on the side of the road, being thrown into the furnace and burned."

At this moment, Ming Furo immediately grabbed Xitana's wrist and signaled her not to be fooled.

The impact of this information was indeed too strong, and it was not difficult to verify. If it was true, she was very worried that Shitana would not be able to control herself.

It doesn't matter if the Revolutionary Army kills the Archduke, but not Hitana... absolutely not, at least not now. Even if Ansher indulges her willfulness, this is absolutely not allowed.

Ming Fuluo could feel the veins on Xitana's wrists bulging and her pulse was beating very fast. Just as her worries were growing, she suddenly heard Xitana sneer:

"Do you think I'm a fool? You want to use me to drag Anser down? You're dreaming!"

“That’s the answer?” Odumbra rubbed his forehead and sighed, “It seems that Huangshan will also make mistakes one day.”

"Do you still want to blackmail me morally?"

The disdain on Xitana's face became even stronger: "You are such a wretch and you want to kidnap me... Do you know that I am usually the one who morally kidnaps others?"

“……”Ming Fuluo remained silent.

Every time Xitana behaves in a way that is inconsistent with her IQ, her IQ always drops rapidly in some strange place.

Seemingly very angry, Sitana even gave Odumbra a middle finger and said, "If you know you can't do it, just get out of here! Or do you want to fight me here? Huh?"

Odumbra was stunned for two seconds, but was amused by Xitana's performance. She shook her head and replied with a smile: "Ms. Scourge is really to my taste... I understand Huangshan a little bit. It's a pity that we were beaten to it by His Excellency Hydra."

"That's all." She waved her hand in a very casual manner. "Please continue to rescue civilians. I don't have the time to spare. Please do my part."

After saying this, she actually didn't say another word. Her strong body, which had been through so much fighting, quickly disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where she had gone.

Xitana and Ming Fuluo were both on edge. They didn't say anything, but just walked away from the sea of ​​fire in silence. After they were sure that Odumbra had left, Ming Fuluo let out a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect you to be able to react."

"I've already told you I'm not a fool!" Xitana rolled her eyes. "Am I so easy to fool?"

"…It's not necessarily a lie."

Ming Fuluo's expression darkened a lot: "Looking at her confident look, it's probably true."

"..."

Hitana slowly clenched her fists, the ferocious red flashing in her eyes was like a pack of wolves running. The rage and anger surging in her chest had nowhere to vent, making her now have a somewhat inhuman and dangerous aura.

Nine million people... nine million people! What kind of beast could come up with such a plan?

"It doesn't matter." Ming Fuluo said softly, "Anser should have already planned it. He must have other methods, or simply kill Grand Duke Blood Dust in secret. The leader of the revolutionary army... maybe he was used by Anser."

"Otherwise, how could he eavesdrop on the meeting of thirty top fifth-order transcendents? It must be Anser's deliberate calculation."

Xitana's expression finally eased a lot. She slowly unclenched her fist, but her tone was still unwilling:

"Anser will always find a way... But I just swore an oath. I can't just think that Anser will always find a way."

"Assassination is not suitable for you or me. There is nothing I can do about it."

Although she said this, Ming Furo knew that Xitana would not listen. Looking at her expression, Ming Furo knew... she was probably thinking that she was not strong enough.

Even if you can really become that strong, it will take time.

time……

Some possibilities vaguely flashed through Ming Fuluo's mind, but she did not grasp the key points like No. 9 who sank into the shadows.

All in all, trust Anser's plan.

What Ming Furo didn't know was that Ansher had indeed discovered the eavesdropping revolutionary army, and had indeed deliberately let them continue eavesdropping, but there were two things that he did not expect.

He didn't know that the Blood Dust Guild suddenly came up with such a crazy plan, and naturally they had not already planned to use the revolutionary army as cannon fodder.

At the same time, he didn't know... that the incident in Castle Strife made the Revolutionary Army begin to re-examine Xitana. He didn't know that Huangshan, who had changed his mind, had been promoting Xitana after meeting with Odumbra. He didn't know that Odumbra, who was influenced by these things... would find Xitana and Ming Furo in advance and tell them this thing that they shouldn't know.

As for what kind of impact this incident will have, only the silent chess player knows.

Chapter 1: Please Die for Me (W)

Just as No. 9 worried, it would be quite difficult to kill Duke Blooddust and escape without leaving any trace in the current situation where all the fifth-level transcendents are on edge.

But even if the march of fate is like a rainstorm and thunder, leaving Anser no room to breathe, he can still find a chance to break through from the cracks.

The breaking point this time...

"Crow's...Nest."

Number Nine followed Anser to the door of the tavern and whispered the name of the tavern.

Crow's Nest, or Farn's Nest, is one of the top adventurer guilds in the West.

President Fafnir is very famous. Although she now has the support of Grand Duke Dragon Language, the dependence is not very strong. Moreover, it is not because of Grand Duke Dragon Language that she has achieved what she has today. Instead, she started from scratch and worked hard to build up her current strength and status as a fifth-level transcendent.

Fafna's achievements, whether it is her exploration experience in the maze or her achievements in this plane, are equally worthy of the title of legend.

In the eyes of the public, the most amazing thing it has done in the past few years is to record the moment of awakening of Hydra's first chief, the now-powerful [Scourge] Athena, before all forces, all grand dukes, and even the emperor.

Looking back now, thinking about Hydra's current strength and the talents that Shetana possesses, the value of this achievement has increased and become more legendary.

As for the "person" Fafner, she is even more special. According to rumors, she performed some lost ritual in pursuit of more powerful strength. Her body was transformed into a strange beast because of this incomplete ritual. Her limbs were deformed into the claws of some kind of bird, and she had feathers on her body.

Apart from wearing a mask, Fafner did not hide her bestial features. Firstly, there were many half-dragons of extremely high status in the territory of the Grand Duke of Dragon Language, and secondly, she also gained extremely powerful strength from this ritual.

——Harness the power of shadows.

"..."

Before coming, Anser had already told No. 9 the reason why she received this order and what she was going to do. No. 9 knew very well what she was going to say and do next.

However, she was unusually out of form. She subconsciously grabbed her left arm which was covered by her shawl, lowered her head slightly, and remained silent.

Ansel knew the reason, and leading Marina to this step... was not what he wanted in his heart, but he had to do it.

"Let's go, Maganlei."

Anser did not spare the gentle voice of No. 9. The black-haired young man, who had transformed his image into Faust, said indifferently: "What happens next is very important."

This strange yet familiar name made Number Nine's mind a little dazed. Her mind flashed through all the ordinary yet warm memories of the time they spent together some time ago. She thought of all the expectations Anser had placed on her. The expression under the mask, which had been dimmed by the painful experience just now, softened again.

"Yes, Mr. Faust—"

The girl touched her throat subconsciously.

"...Yes, Mr. Faust."

Even though she was back in that magical relationship, she was no longer the same person she once was.

The young Hydra took her little movements into his eyes, and as his fingertips moved slightly, a bit of doubt flashed through his mind.

She...is not willing?

Anser had already figured out Nine's mental state. She was now in a state of "willing to give everything for Lord Hydra", but she was only one step away from the abyss of self-collapse and worthlessness.

At this stage, if it were anyone else, as long as they could add even a little value to Anser, they would never regret the price they paid. No matter how miserable and heavy the price was, they would feel it was justified.

It turns out not to be that simple.

Anser pushed open the door of the tavern and whispered this in his heart.

Fate threw the chessboard into the sea of ​​fire in a brutal manner, but Ansor did not forget the nail He had stuck in his side. The influence of Xitana and Ming Furo on him had become more and more profound. If Marina could still affect his mentality... then he had to break up with her as soon as possible.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, it was you who pushed forward this trip.

"Hey, what's going on with this fire? If it keeps burning like this, we'll have to run away tomorrow."

"You can say that the boss has foresight. He has never started any business. He only has this one pub. If it burns down, it burns down. He doesn't feel bad about it."

"But changing places is still very troublesome. If the Western Kingdom is burned to ashes, where will we go? And the entire empire will not be--Puff!"

The adventurer, who was chatting while swaying his wine glass, subconsciously turned his head when he heard the door open, and ended up spitting out the wine in his mouth.

"Fuck!" he exclaimed. "Faust!"

As soon as he finished screaming, someone on the other end shouted, "Fuck! The boss shows up!"

The adventurers in the tavern looked this way and that way blankly, some of them didn't know where to look.

It was somewhat similar to the last time Faust came to the Crow's Nest.

However, this time, when Fafnir came down from the second floor, she was not as calm as she was when she met Ansher before. She seemed very... excited.

The moment it appeared from the stairs and set its sights on Number Nine, its body immediately turned into a pool of black solution, and then instantly emerged from the shadow closest to Anser.
