The villain's way to tame the protagonist

Just like everything Anser planned to make Xin fall, it was not just to snatch this saint from the hands of fate.

"Xie'er..."

"What happened to Miss Wolf?"

As soon as Xin heard the names of Shitana or Marina, she would quickly become alive. Although Anser's plan to stabilize the Saint Lady was very effective, it did not mean that her jealousy became less. Rather, as she became more aware of her position in Anser's heart, her sin increased.

Anser looked at the Saint Lady who was staring at him, and said helplessly: "I was just wondering how Xier is doing now. She's running around everywhere, worrying about this and that, which makes people feel uneasy. "

As Xin's doubts about the church and God grow, he will instinctively become more dependent on Anther. This should have been a positive cycle - when Anther dismantles the so-called God into pieces, Xin will become his thing.

But now, Ansher must carefully ensure that the progress is under his control, and carefully protect Xin's increasingly sensitive and fragile heart, to prevent her from losing her god and feeling abandoned by Mr. Devil, and then... the worst thing will happen.

"But I'm not qualified to say such things."

Anser touched the light wings that Xin had simulated for him, chuckled and said, "After all, Miss Xin is also worried about me, isn't she?"

“I’m just doing what I need to do and I’m not tired.”

Although Xin answered calmly, his voice unconsciously became much lighter, and it seemed that he had regained his stability.

"Besides, there should be more reasons why Mr. Devil shouldn't worry about Miss Wild Wolf."

"Huh? Why?"

The soft arms wrapped around Ansel's neck, but not with the sense of propriety like Marina's, but a little too tight... with a jealous possessiveness and a fear of losing.

"Because Mr. Devil said he wanted to be a hero."

Xin blinked gently, and his confused and misty holy blue eyes brightened up when he said this, as if he had a goal and meaning.

"If you want to be a hero, you have to become an enemy of Miss Wolf."

And since he made a promise to Mr. Devil, Xin believed that he must do it well and make Mr. Devil the most glorious and brilliant hero.

I must bring him... the hope he needs.

For Xin now, this need given by Ansel is more direct and real than any coordination, ideals, or doctrines.

It seemed to be the most accessible thing in her still chaotic and ignorant life.

Anser laughed dumbly: "Does being a hero mean I have to overshadow Xi'er? It seems your definition of a hero is different from mine, Miss Saint."

The light fell from the snow into the shelter. During this period, Anser and Xin had formed an extremely tacit understanding of cooperation, and this was also one of his ways to stabilize Xin.

Apart from his mother, this was the first time that he took such meticulous care of a woman's emotions in all aspects.

"different……"

Xin let go of Anser, and her snow-white bare feet stepped lightly on the ground. She first took a few steps to Anser, and then asked in confusion: "Why do I want Mr. Devil to do better than Miss Wild Wolf? Is it different?"

"Don't you think that since everything a hero does is great and right, why can't I... oh, why can't Hercules do it, but Seele has to do it, right?"

Xin nodded: "Yes."

On the desolate street in the shelter, Anser walked forward in the snow and said casually:

"But a hero only wants someone to be saved. Doesn't it make no difference to a hero who brings the salvation?"

"Why can't Hercules be the one who becomes a hero, you think? But Hercules thinks that it's enough for someone to become a hero."

Xin frowned slightly: "But that's not what Mr. Devil said at that time."

"Mr. Devil said that he wanted to change all this, so even if he had to bring salvation, Hercules hoped that it was him who brought it."

The devil paused.

"So……"

A smile appeared on his face that made Xin a little unbearable - it was meaningful, as if something evil began to entangle Xin's smile.

“Is this what salvation means in your eyes?”

Xin didn't react for a moment after jumping from "Hercules" to "you". Although he felt it was unnatural, he couldn't tell what was wrong.

And the devil continued his mind-corrupting whispers:

"Even if I am the one who saves, the prerequisite must be me... If it is not me who brings the salvation, then it is meaningless."

"I'm not... that's Hercules' idea, not mine."

Xin finally reacted and tried to refute Anser with logic, but was counterattacked again the next moment.

"But why do you assume that that was Hercules' idea?"

Ansher approached Xin step by step, reaching out to touch her soft and delicate face, as if he was touching a warm and unpolished jade.

"Did you read his mind? Why do you think Hercules wants to be a hero himself, rather than just wanting... to have the power to be a hero?"

He didn't say anything else, but his gaze into Xin's ocean-blue eyes spoke all the next words out.

Because that's what you think, Miss Xin.

You already have power, so you don’t need to gain power, but want to be the one who gives Hercules hope and saves me...

A very, very heavy word.

If possible, Anser wanted to remove this word from Xin's mind as soon as possible.

Because as long as Xin is still thinking about the so-called "only one", she will be deeply poisoned and will definitely destroy Shetana and the others when she goes crazy and out of control.

Although this word can be of great help in training if used well, it is obviously a double-edged sword that is too sharp.

Ansel had used it on Ming Furo because Helen, who had lost everything, only had her "father". But Xin was different. She still had her own God and her own beliefs. Even if she had begun to doubt, there were still things she could barely rely on.

The most important thing is... Xin is too dangerous. Before she is completely controlled, the risks of this double-edged sword far outweigh the benefits.

Anser wanted to tell Xin that this idea was wrong, to ensure that no matter how much fate pushed the situation, even if Xin really lost control, the girls' souls would not be forcibly distorted by the crazy Xin.

"If it's Hercules, if it's someone who wants to be a hero, he must want to see people happy, not just to get cheers, right?"

Mr. Devil spoke earnestly, and he very much hoped that Miss Saint would be able to repent.

Since you hope that I can be redeemed, the correct and healthy idea should be that as long as I am willing to abandon my sins, it is worth celebrating. As for who made me return to the right path... it is not something you should worry about.

Anser's words obviously reminded Xin of herself, but she fell into silence and even confusion and did not answer.

However, Anser did not expect to correct Xin's mentality with words, as he had already prepared the next play for Xin.

Likewise, extremely exciting.

"Huh? Strange."

Since the Saint Lady did not answer, Ansher could only walk forward on his own. However, they had already walked a long way in the shelter but still did not see even a single living person.

"The person just now said that the shelter here has not started to evacuate yet..."

The devil turned his head and looked at Xin, who had come to his senses, with a confused look.

“Then why does it seem like there are no refugees here at all?”

The North, the Imperial Capital, the West.

The biggest fundamental difference between this training and the previous three times is not the change in Ansel's ideas or the adjustment of plans, but... the degree of control.

He is no longer the teenager who has not yet truly inherited the title of Hydra, nor is he an immature divine being who has to fight a desperate battle under the pressure of the emperor, nor is he an incomplete Hydra who has failed to inherit the power of the sixth level and therefore has to confront all the grand dukes and all the fifth-level transcendents of the empire in a stalemate.

Ansir Hydra is the regent of the empire. Even Ivora, who now forces him to confront him, is just a domestic cat lying beside his legs.

The existence of Marina is a great help to Anser, but even without Marina, he can still control the entire North.

Including the Skyfrost Tower, the Iron Blade Legion, and... the church.

Chapter 5: Seemingly Failed Rescue (K)

"Let's go to the church first."

When there were no outsiders around, Anther would not completely play the role of Hercules, but just followed the most basic settings of this role. Therefore, he did not pretend to be solemn and serious, but seemed very interested.

The church is located in the center of the small shelter. It is not big and even a bit shabby. Like the entire shelter, it exudes the same simple and hardship atmosphere.

The door was slowly pushed open with the creaking sound of wood friction. Anser looked at the equally empty interior of the church and said thoughtfully:

"Don't you find it strange, Miss Xin?"

"……strangeness?"

Master Anser, a role-playing enthusiast, walked towards the pulpit step by step and stroked the back of the chair covered with frost. "This shelter is so small and so simple. Logically, it should be at the top of the evacuation list."

The entire northern refugee evacuation plan has many reference factors in the order of different shelters, such as the size of the shelter, its geographical location, how long the supplies can last, etc. The more difficult and smaller the shelter, the higher the evacuation order.

But the extraordinary person just now said that this shelter has not yet accepted evacuation.

Disappearing refugees, abnormal arrangements, and all these anomalies can only point to one source...

The devil standing under the crude Ouroboros statue looked up at the church symbol for a moment, then turned around and smiled at Xin:

"Miss Saint, what on earth is the church doing?"

*

Xitana ran wildly in the blizzard.

She arranged the giant dragon Sif to serve as a guard around a large evacuation team, and none of the remaining monsters could be faster than her.

"call……"

The girl exhaled a breath, stood on the snow-covered slope and looked out at the distant city that was barely visible in the snow.

She took out a dynamic map with her location marked on it from her storage items, compared the location, then rubbed her wrist, a terrifying and cruel smile appeared on her face.

"Finally found it for me."

During this period, Xitana is the busiest person in the entire North.

He has to fight against the rebels, protect the refugees, and find time to capture some monsters to replenish his troops. He is also thinking about the secret of the cold disaster in the north, so he has no free time at all.

She originally thought that with Marina's help and the church's compromise, she would no longer have to worry about the safety of the refugees and could concentrate on dealing with the Archduke's coalition forces.

Unexpectedly...she still overestimated the bottom line of those two guys.

"The reason why Grey Tower and Iron Blade didn't attack the shelters built by the Church before was not because they really cared about those refugees, but because they didn't want to be hostile to the Church at this time." - This is what Marina told Xitana.

Although it is incomprehensible to waste manpower and resources in this regard, the fact that the church can build so many shelters can actually influence the situation quietly just from the level of its power. The chances of Gray Tower and Iron Blade winning are not high to begin with, so they naturally will not attack the shelters for no reason, and they may even be willing to exchange supplies with the shelters.

But now it is different. The church’s choice to hand over the refugees to Anser means that their position has been made clear, and all actions that would have offended the church have become reasonable attacks.

As for whether attacking and killing refugees is inhumane and has no bottom line... the two archdukes are obviously not the kind of people who care about such things. After all, they can even use the territories they control to threaten Hitana.

The strangest thing about this is how they found out about the evacuation plan and were able to launch effective attacks repeatedly, even though every wave of attacks has been repelled so far, which is very abnormal.

There can't be traitors among the people chosen by Marina, and the same goes for the church.

After all, they have already stood on the opposite side of the two grand dukes, and the rebels have now included the priests on the death list. Now they want to turn around and trap Shitana. Isn't that a mental problem?

So where exactly they got their information from was still a mystery. However, Marina told Xitana that she didn't need to worry about it, and gave Miss Wolf a very clear direction.

"You like to tie up everyone in the city and use them as bombs, right?"

The wind and snow drowned out the wolf's dangerous and ferocious breath, and before anyone knew it, Shitana had arrived outside the city like a ghost.

She looked at the tall tower standing in the city, slowly revealing its sharp white fangs.

The biggest obstacle for Xitana to capture the two grand dukes' territories was not the enemy's strength, but the enemy's shamelessness.

She kept capturing monsters, on the one hand to increase her strength, and on the other hand to find beings with special abilities - specifically those that would cause the death of everyone in the city if the defender died, or those that could cause the city to self-destruct with just a thought from the defender.

Yes, before Marina offered her help, Hitana had already realized this and tried hard to find a solution, otherwise she would not have wasted so much time fighting the Northern rebels.

Although she now has the help of Marina, it is impossible for her to cover the entire North with her manpower. There are still many things to do. In addition, Hitana herself does not want to rely on Marina for everything, so she is still looking for a way to solve the problem once and for all.

And now, relying on Marina's intelligence network, Shitana has finally locked on her target.

The warlock of the Skyfrost Tower stationed in the territory city in front of us is a specialist in the research and development of that kind of vicious spell. He can be said to be the main force in disgusting Shitana. Even if he is killed, it cannot completely stop the two grand dukes from continuing to use that kind of vicious spell, but it can ensure that Shitana will not be disgusted by various methods, and can further tilt the balance of victory in this war towards her.

Standing at the foot of the city wall, Xitana held her breath and concentrated. The Head of Wind soon sensed the dense ether flows lurking under the foundation of the city, and these flows finally converged to the top of the central tower - there was no doubt that this was another evil spell that would cause the entire city to fall apart immediately as soon as the defenders died.

Although the Breath of Killing is special, Hitana has never regarded this power as a surprise move or a trump card, so it has long been well known. Everyone knows that the ferocious Scourge Wolf possesses the terrible power to kill everything and even cut off the flow of ether. Although this power is unreasonable, it is only limited to frontal combat.

If the opponent designed a spell structure that would trigger immediately once the ether flow was cut off, even if the trigger was incomplete, Xitana would not accept it. Therefore, the previous success in conquering three territories was only possible with the help of Marina's subordinates.

But this time, Shitana had no help, and Marina needed a lot of manpower, so Shitana didn't want to seek Marina's help again and again.

After all, this time, killing the other party was not Hitana’s first goal.

After all the exploration preparations were completed, Hitana exhaled slowly. The next moment, her originally 1.8-meter-tall figure grew taller again. A fluffy wolf tail emerged from under her spine, and her dark red eyes quickly turned into dangerous vertical pupils.
