After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

Constantine told Aize everything that had happened in the camp in the past few days.

Including Leah's plan to attack the demon homeland, the conflict between Heidi and Leah, the current situation of the Knights in recent days, etc.

After hearing this, Aize rubbed his temples speechlessly.

"I was wondering, what on earth is she thinking by still staying in the Anlin Plains and refusing to retreat... Tsk."

"What should we do about this?"

Aize snorted coldly.

"Hmph, what can we do? Do you think she can gather the necessary personnel and supplies? Can't? If not, how can she launch an attack? Let her do what she wants."

People teach people, but they can’t teach.

Things teach people, and they will learn it once and for all.

Isn't Leah a stubborn person? Then let her be severely punished by reality, and learn her lesson next time.

This will save you from having to mess up your work all day long, not only to yourself, but also to bring disaster to the entire Knights and even all of humanity.

Constantine nodded, glanced at the wall of the restaurant next to him, and asked in a low voice:

"The person you were walking with just now, if I'm not mistaken, should be the Great Witch Villian, right?"

In the previous battle on the Anlin Plain, the cautious Constantine was one of the few cadres who was completely uninjured and fought until the last moment.

Even the seriously injured Aize was dragged back by him, so of course he had seen Villian's true face.

"Yes, that's her."

"what happened?"

Aize sighed:

"It's a long story... Anyway, Villian, the leader of the demon clan, is indeed dead. Not only is she no longer an enemy, she's even helping me. I'll tell you the details later when I have the chance."

"Now that you put it that way, I understand."

Constantine thought for a moment, then said with some relief:

"Fortunately, it was me who came instead of Christina."

"...Indeed, if it were her, she would probably charge back without a word, gun drawn."

Thinking of the girl who called himself Master, Aize could only smile bitterly.

"How's Chris doing now?"

"She woke up a couple of days ago and is fine. But when she found out you left the team without her, she made a scene and even argued with Lady Leah."

“As expected, it’s going to be like this…”

Aize had a headache.

When he was running away, he considered taking his confidants with him, but after thinking it over again and again, he gave up.

Because I don't want to implicate them.

Although I am a hero, I am not from this world. It can be said that I am alone and have nothing.

But his subordinates are different.

Take Chris for example. She was born into a marquis family in the empire and has a very high status. If she follows him, her family may be implicated.

Forget it, let her go crazy for a few days, and she should be able to calm down.

Now there is one more thing to arrange.

Aize exhaled slightly and said seriously:

"Constantine, you know I'm no longer a hero."

"Yes I know."

"If I want to transfer a group of people from the Knights to do something now, is it still possible?"

"of course."

The mercenary replied expressionlessly, then bowed slightly.

"The one who signed the contract with me was Aize, not Brave Aize, so you are still my boss and employer. There are many others who have similar ideas."

It is Aze who is loyal, not Brave Aze.

At least that's what Constantine and Chris's direct subordinates must think.

Not to mention that Aize is not a hero, even if he really ran to the demon clan and became a leader, they would only hesitate for a moment, curse a few words, and then follow him.

As for the actual captain, Leah...

Who did she send it to?

Even those knights who were not so absolutely loyal to Aize did not have a good impression of her.

By the time they returned to the Holy City this time, it was foreseeable that the Knights would be scattered.

The overly straightforward statement made Aize scratch his face in embarrassment.

It’s a bit disgusting to think about blushing in front of a man.

But in short, Aize now has a clear idea in his mind.

"In that case, when you return, organize a team and place them east of Tafia City on standby, ready for action at any time. Remember, we don't need too many, but only elite troops."

"Okay, but what do you want to do?"

Aize crossed his arms and shook his head gently:

"It's hard to say right now, I'm just making some preparations."

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door from the window next to me.

"Guest, how are you? Your female companion is very worried about you. Let me take a look."

It should be the restaurant waiter sent by Vivian. I have been hiding for too long.

"I'm fine, I just have a stomachache!"

He jumped up to the window, shouted a few words inside, then turned to Constantine and said:

"Let's do this for now. You should go back to Leah as soon as possible."

Constantine nodded and put his hood back on.

This was his preference from his mercenary days until now. He would rather wear a hood than a helmet with stronger defense.

"Understood. Also, please be careful, Lady Leah has already reported your departure to the Holy City."

"Oh? When did it happen?"

"About five days ago, after Lady Heidi set out for Tafia for the second time. You have offended quite a few nobles in the past, and some of them might take advantage of this opportunity to kill you."

Aize had been thinking about this for a long time, and he nodded.

"Of course I will be careful. See you later."

"Ah."

After saying that, Constantine's figure disappeared into the alley as if he had evaporated into thin air.

Aize jumped out of the window, held his stomach and staggered out of the bathroom. Under Villian's worried gaze, he returned to his seat.

"How's it going? You've been gone for so long..."

"It's okay, it's okay. Maybe I got a cold last night."

For Villian, Constantine's existence did not have to be concealed.

But it’s not necessary to say it.

So Aize decided to keep it secret for the time being.

This is due to the habit of intrigue for two whole years.

Even though he cares about Villian now, he still can't trust her completely.

Aize felt somewhat disgusted with himself for being like this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Chapter 56 The Brave Man Loves Green Tea

Soon, the two arrived at the door of Sheen's mansion.

Looking at Aize beside her, Villian was still a little worried.

"Are you really alright? How about we go back and come back another day?"

Such concern made Aize, who had been hiding something, feel a little guilty, but he did not show it.

He shook his head.

"No, many things can't be delayed any longer, let's go."

Just as he was about to go forward and knock on the door, he heard a long series of heavy horse hoof sounds coming quickly from afar. A large group of knights arrived at the lord's mansion in a charging posture and with great momentum.

The leader was Leah.

Wearing a full set of armor and holding a holy sword, she sparkled in the sunlight, as dazzling as if she was covered in a layer of holy light.

Coupled with his already outstanding looks and impeccable aura, judging from his appearance alone, he is indeed worthy of the title of God's Chosen Hero.

It's just from the appearance.

She quickly noticed Aize.

Leah looked a little surprised, not expecting him to be in Tafia.

"It's you?"

"it's me."

"Why are you in Tafia?"

“Why can’t I be in Tafea?”

"Tsk——"

Leah curled her lips in extreme displeasure.

In the past, in the team, no matter what was said about Aize, Aize would either close his eyes and lower his head without saying a word, or say "Yes, yes, yes, you are right."

It's only been a short time since I left, and you're already mad. You even dare to talk back to me?

She raised her head and stared at Aize with extremely contemptuous eyes.

"Understand your place, Aize. Not only are you no longer a hero, you're even suspected of being a deserter. What qualifications do you have to speak to me like that?!"

"If I hadn't been doing this for my former teammate's sake, I would have had you taken back to the Holy City and handed over to the Inquisition! If you're convicted of heresy and desertion, the only punishment is burning at the stake. Do you understand?"

Ai Ze smiled softly, restrained Villian who was about to explode, and replied nonchalantly:

"You can try and see if the Inquisition dares to accuse me of desertion and heresy."

In the church's propaganda, the hero is the agent of the Supreme God, an angel sent by the God to save mankind and completely eliminate the demons.

If the church were to judge the "angels", it would not only be a slap in the face, but would also be like digging up its own ancestral graves.

Unless they are as crazy as Leah, they would never dare to do this.

But Leah didn't understand this and even thought Aize was bluffing.

The two of them faced each other in a tense atmosphere.

Just when Aize was about to say something, a petite figure rushed out from the team and stood between the two of them.

It was Heidi who was pulled out of bed by Leah.

She said loudly to the two of them with an angry and somewhat sad look on her face:

"Stop arguing! We're all companions who've been through thick and thin together. It must be the goddess's will that we meet here. Why are you arguing?"

In the past, Heidi would never have come out to mediate a fight.
