The villain's way to tame the protagonist

"She is the Saint of the Church of the Holy Spirit, Xin."

"The... Saint of the church?"

"A ghost that no one has ever seen." Ming Fuluo nodded. "Now is not the time to talk about her, but she can lead to the mastermind behind this war, that is, the Holy Church, or... heh, the mysterious bishop who has never shown up."

"I discovered that Elaluo was a believer earlier than you did. At that time, I was rejected by you and was looking for a suitable agent to help me build a defense system for East Port. That's how I found Elaluo, and through that saint, I learned that she was a believer of the church."

"I am worried about Elalo, because I cannot understand why a daughter of an archduke would become a believer, and I cannot understand why she hides her identity so well. So I asked the saint to find out her background - don't get me wrong, I can't actually order her, we just each take what we need."

So far, Ming Fuluo's words have no actual evidence and sound like a so-called saint fabricated out of thin air, but no one in the revolutionary army has tried to continue the war.

Maybe it's because their real plan failed, or maybe it's because they want to know... whose side Lian De Shenlan is on.

"As a result, Elallo told me that it was the bishop who accepted her as a believer who ordered Elallo to hide his identity and not to reveal his identity to anyone."

"And during my investigation of Elallo some time ago, I got a very important piece of information - she made rapid progress on the path of transcendence without any warning nearly twenty years ago, about eighteen years ago. I speculated that she became a believer of the church at that time and received help from the church. It was easy for her to create the Water of Redemption organization."

"Let me guess... you and Elalo have been friends for about this long, right?"

Lian De's eyes trembled violently as he gradually realized something: "Ella and I... not long after I joined the Revolutionary Army, we became friends."

"So in another year or two, your relationship should be very good."

Ming Fuluo closed her eyes and sighed softly, "You are a smart person, Lian De, I don't think I need to say anything more."

Lian De joined the revolutionary army almost twenty years ago, so after a year or two, the second bishop hidden in the empire found Ellalo, Lian De's best friend, alone, gave her power, absorbed her as a believer, and asked her to hide her identity as a believer and stay with Lian De.

Is there such a coincidence in this world?

"Monitor...surveillance."

When Lian De slowly uttered these two words, all objects in the room began to tremble due to the running away ether.

"If I'm not mistaken, after you joined the Revolutionary Army, you should have confessed your identity to the higher-ups, right? Who was the first leader of the Revolutionary Army you confessed to, and the first one to accept you?"

Who is it? Who else could it be?

"Hehehe...hahahaha——"

Liande laughed hysterically, and the wild ether roared and shattered half of the house.

The leader of the revolutionary army and the founder of the new world is actually the bishop of the Holy Church of Cooperation... There is nothing more ironic in the world than this.

The founders of the Revolutionary Army did not establish it in order to change the empire from the beginning.

"So...he is able to survive until now."

The period when the revolutionary army was first established was countless times more difficult than it is now. Countless people died in the process of its growth, and the first two founders died early. Only Leng Yu survived, and... he lived for so long, and I don't know how many legion commanders he has outlived.

Lian De murmured in a trance: "That is not his ideal at all. How could he possibly... risk his life for a lie?"

"I don't know what he is going to do, nor do I know what the church is going to do, but right now, everything is clear - this war is meaningless, and the people who started this war are not for the revolutionary army at all."

“From the beginning, it was not about the changes you were seeking.”

Silence, an extremely long silence.

This silence exists both in the images projected by Ming Fuluo and lingers in the war-torn East Port.

"At first, this was just my guess and assumption."

Ming Fuluo's calm voice came from the huge pupils above Kaixuan Port City: "Because the Saint destroyed Ella Luo, I couldn't get the key information from her, but her attitude and lies exposed the backlash that Ella Luo suffered, which was inseparable from the church."

"The bishop who controls Elallo, your leader Leng Lu, knows that once Elallo's identity is exposed, it will be a huge hidden danger. He is the most capable and motivated person to kill Elallo at this time."

Ansher reminded Ming Furo that this was the key to Ming Furo's targeting the church.

"It's just that he initially thought that Elallo was doomed, so he didn't kill her right away. By the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late - because Anser had saved Elallo's life."

"My guess requires a timeline as evidence. Since Elalo can't provide it, I can only go to Lian De. I don't know why the Saint thinks I can't get what I want from Lian De."

Because in Xin's opinion, Lian De has already strengthened his belief and will never give in no matter how Ming Furo forces him. But why... does Lian De obey Ming Furo so easily?

Xin didn't know and didn't want to think about it.

Because every word Ming Fuluo said was trampling on the abilities she thought she had learned from Ansher.

"So, have you faced reality?"

Ming Furo said this to the revolutionary army in Donggang, and Lian De said this to the phantoms of other revolutionary army leaders.

"Let's end this, everyone."

Her hoarse voice was filled with tired determination: "Don't let our soldiers bleed in vain."

But...no one spoke.

Some people looked at Lian De, some looked at Leng Lu, but... no one spoke.

"It's still too naive."

An old man's sigh broke the silence.

Leng Xi shook his head slightly and cast a compassionate look at Lian De, as if he was sympathizing with her, or as if he was sympathizing with... the woman in the besieged city who wanted to protect everything.

"This is war, Liande."

At the same time, Ming Fuluo let out a roar she had never let out in her life:

"You...what on earth do you want to do!?"

While both her and the revolutionary army's attention was focused on the three major port cities, the Gale Legion, of which only ten percent had survived, unexpectedly gathered all its remnants silently and concentrated in front of a capitol city.

If it was just a simple attack, it would be fine, but they... they were collectively brewing some extremely destructive spells! The city they targeted was the smallest, and in the high-intensity fierce battle, there were not enough magic crystal reserves to maintain the barrier to withstand this attack.

They deliberately let the Fierce Wind Legion die and be shattered, just to create such a gap and let Ming Furo relax her vigilance at this moment!

"This is... War, Hydra's pet girl."

The voice of the fire giant echoed in the sky above Triumph Port City, but it did not sound like it was mocking Ming Furo. Instead, it sounded like... only deep sorrow.

"Why do you think... based on your 'rightness' and 'meaning', you can unilaterally end it?"

Why do you think that people who participate in war...

Is there any choice?

Chapter 98: Pride Part 3

"We...well, I don't think anyone here would consider me as part of us."

Leng Yu's temperament suddenly changed. The gentle and wise elder he had originally looked like was no longer there, and was replaced by a natural...majesty of a superior.

"If that Miss Mechanical God could use her wisdom to understand people's hearts, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble."

Leng Zhu... or rather Bishop Ji who arrived at the empire earlier than Mu, shook his head and said:

"To make such a guess based on just these specious clues... is too absurd. Hasn't she thought that if she guesses wrong, then everything will be lost?"

Ming Fuluo's evidence gave people a strong sense of absurdity and unreality. Although her logic was fine when deduced from the results, the key point was that her reasoning process was simply... abnormal.

Whether it was her suspicion of Xin Duding, or the fact that she directly linked Ji and Leng Zhu together without any definite information, and was so firmly convinced... her arguments were too jumpy, and there was a sense of "I'm trying my best to use logic that you can understand."

"This is the world of geniuses..." Ji sighed, "Your Excellency the Saint, you should have learned a lesson that you will never forget in your life."

"Cold Salamander!!!"

Furious roars echoed in the secret room. After the confused revolutionary army leaders came to their senses, one of them could no longer tolerate this deception that had lasted for who knows how many years, and shouted angrily: "What on earth do you want to do! Could it be that everything Zeger said... is true! "

"What does it matter if it's true or not? Do you have any choice now?"

Ji smiled and asked back: "Or are you as naive as Miss Zeger? Do you think this war can be stopped?"

He raised his hand. The other leaders of the Revolutionary Army were about to refute him angrily, but no one could make a sound. With a wave of his hand, Ji Youran took away the control of the assembly spell and said:

"The anger from that tyrannical princess has left you with nowhere to go. Now that you have officially raised the banner of rebellion against Hydra, you have also lost the possibility of surrendering to him."

Shortly before the war began, Ivora "visited" the Revolutionary Army's headquarters and left a very personal gift - the charred bodies of three high-ranking Revolutionary Army officials.

It is understandable that she is dissatisfied with the efficiency of the Revolutionary Army and does not accept its failure. After all, who would think that Ivora's anger comes from an order and the bullying of a certain witch lady?

"If you fail, Ivora will fulfill her cruel words and burn you and the ideals of the Revolutionary Army into nothingness; if you want to betray Ivora now, will Hydra still treat you, a group of thugs who have already started a war, with such leniency as before?"

According to Ji, this is why the revolutionary army is so crazy and determined.

They have no way out.

Perhaps some of them wanted to desert, some wanted to surrender to Anser, but they had already been caught up in the revolutionary army's near self-destructive wave. No matter whether it was weak shouting or desperate calls for help, they were swallowed up by the righteousness of ideals and beliefs, and the reality of escaping death. They were swept towards the battlefield, and also swept... to face death.

Facing the almost insane hatred of all the revolutionary army leaders, Ji's tone was still very calm: "You should thank me for leaving you a chance, right?"

He cast his gaze towards Lian De, whose face was stern, and smiled: "If I hadn't spread the rumors and made you all suspicious of Lian De, and if you didn't put all your hopes on her, but made other preparations without telling her, wouldn't you have lost even the last hope now?"

"But I'm also quite surprised. After all, we've been comrades for more than 10 or 20 years, but we can actually doubt each other's position when war is approaching..."

The old man shook his head and said sarcastic words, disgusting both sides at the same time: "You are really just as I thought, you can't achieve anything at all."

"Have you said enough?"

Lian De continued to point the sword at Ji with an expressionless face. She was not silenced, perhaps Ji wanted to hear what else she had to say.

"In terms of content, it's almost the same." Ji smiled nonchalantly, "These words are enough, Ms. Zeger."

"..."

Lian De's hand holding the sword trembled slightly. She stared at the old man in front of her with a warm smile, and the hatred and fear in her heart surged.

This old freak...did he see it at first glance?

The scene of the confrontation between Lian De and Ji was being played on the light screen projected above the three major port cities.

"I never put my cards on words."

The huge eyes looked down at the chaotic revolutionary army position, and a voice that was no longer indifferent but carried a rare bit of earnestness came out: "So I let you see that the facts are not just what I said. I hope you can recognize once again that you have been betrayed."

"The existence of the Revolutionary Army was a lie from the beginning. It is not worth dying for, and it is even less worth involving innocent people in this meaningless war."

"Stop now, there's still time."

The iron eyes disappeared in the air, and Ming Fuluo's figure appeared on the top of the city wall of Triumph Port City. She raised one hand, and all the cannons lowered their muzzles.

"There have been no casualties so far. I can assure you as the head of Anser Hydrayuan."

Ming Fuluo, who still hoped that everything would end here, swore solemnly, "I promise that the conspirator's words that push you into despair will never come true. Anser will protect you and give you a chance to live again, I promise."

Ming Furo really didn't expect that such a thing would happen within the revolutionary army.

Ren De's identity was exposed, and the top leaders of the Revolutionary Army actually began to doubt her and made another crazy plan without telling her.

Lian De told her that according to the original plan of the revolutionary army, if the plan to raid the armory and kill the city defense controller failed, they would directly threaten her with the lives of the civilians in the city and force her to submit.

Although all the elite revolutionary soldiers who tried to sneak in were killed by Lian De, these lunatics adjusted the plan as a last resort in case Lian De betrayed them.

But fortunately... this is not a big problem.

As long as Ji is completely exposed, this reality will have a decisive effect. In addition, she guarantees that Anser will not pursue responsibility. These revolutionary soldiers... should have no reason to continue waging war and continue to achieve this meaningless "victory."

"You should get out of this state."

Ming Fuluo looked up at the flaming giant that was taller than the city wall and said, "You have exceeded the limit of the elements that you can control. In five minutes at most, you will be burned to ashes by the uncontrollable fire elements."

"Also, have all of you gathered in front of the Riftwater City stop and don't waste your lives on such a meaningless thing."

She once again said, without pretense and with great sincerity:

"You can get... a new life."

*

"It's really... unqualified." Ji shook his head, "She actually said such words at this time. Does she really want to end this war?"

"Didn't you induce her to say such things?"

Lian De looked indifferent: "Because there is no other way, we have to continue this war... You deliberately ignored the fundamental factors that enabled the Revolutionary Army to launch this war."

"But even so, Lian De, you didn't remind her."

The old man narrowed his eyes slightly: "Why did you...end the communication with Miss Zeger at this time?"

Lian De and Ji sat at opposite ends of the conference table.

In his previous words, Ji did not consider himself as a member of the revolutionary army at all, so the only person sitting at the conference table was Lian De.

Only... the last leader of the revolutionary army is left.

"Remind her?" Liande lowered his eyes slightly. "It's no use reminding her. She won't understand."
