After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

Aize shook his head:

"Tsk, t ... what? You don't dare to move? That's it?"

"..."

"Let's be clear. I'm not only here to help you, I also have my own things to do. So whether you believe me or not is actually irrelevant. I will do everything I need to do. But you'd better believe me. Do you know why?"

The man shook his head in fear and caution, fearing that if he moved too much he would cut his own throat.

The other troublemakers were also frightened by Aize's speed and did not dare to move.

So, Aize continued coldly:

"Because, if I were strong, even if you all attacked me together, you would never be my match. Therefore, if you want to survive, you can only believe that I am not your enemy, or even pray that I am not your enemy. There is no other way."

I'm not trying to persuade you to believe it by nice words.

Instead, it tells you directly in your head that you must believe that there is no other choice.

This could be considered a threat or intimidation, but who cares, as long as it works.

"Uh……"

The man shook his head blankly. Aize let him go and glanced at the people around who were causing trouble.

You can see that there is dissatisfaction, anger, and deep hatred in their eyes.

But apart from staring at him, he didn't dare to say anything else.

At this moment, Grote, who had finally recovered from his stupor, stepped forward and protected Anna while roaring at the troublemakers:

"You bastards are completely crazy!? This is how you treat the man who saved our companions!? And you bully our companions who finally came back!? If you do it again, I'll beat the shit out of you!"

Even among purebred orcs, his body was quite huge, and the roar he made when he was angry was like that of a wild beast, echoing through the valley.

Even Aize's ears hurt from the noise.

The few people who were already frightened by Aize were completely intimidated by this roar. They left in shame and sneaked back into the forest.

Still fuming, Groot turned around and apologized to Aize:

"I'm sorry, we don't often have humans here, and some of our companions aren't very...friendly."

"It's okay. I expected this. Rather than this, let's go quickly. We don't have enough time."

"Okay, okay, come with me."

Anna also wiped her tears, regained her usual energetic smile, and walked to Groot's side to lead Aize.

"Big brother, come this way! We're almost there!"

The other half-breeds who did not attack Aize also nodded in greeting and returned to their respective guard positions.

After the crowd dispersed, Villian came up again with a sly smile on her face:

"How fierce, my brave master~"

Aize waved his hand in disgust:

"We're just getting started. If it were any other hero, the situation just now would have been very difficult to resolve without some bloodshed."

Imagine what would happen if you replaced yourself with Leah...it seems a bit bloody and not suitable for children.

Violet sighed softly:

"That's true, but I thought you would use some more peaceful methods to solve the problem."

"What? Do you expect me to reason with them like I was with Sheen?"

Aize's face was full of disgust.

"Forget it. Talking to others requires that they want to reason with you. In this situation, your reasoning will only make them more arrogant."

Debate is only valuable to those who want to debate with you.

If you meet a nagging person, just give him some advice and the situation will be resolved.

Even if you want to reason with the other person, you have to calm him down before you speak, otherwise it will be like talking to a deaf person.

After thinking about it, Aize sighed and added:

"Besides, this isn't something that can be reasoned with. Have you noticed the injuries on the bodies of those who opposed me?"

Villian thought about it and shook her head:

"No, I didn't notice."

On Villian's side, anyone who speaks ill of Aize will be sentenced to death or above. No matter what your reasons or difficulties are, we will not care, accept or approve of them.

Do you still care if the other person is injured?

Would a normal person observe whether a mosquito is healthy before swatting it?

Laugh to death.

Aize did not blame and explained:

"The people causing the riots all had old injuries, many of which were caused by long-term abuse and beatings. They were probably slaves who escaped."

"In other words, the degree of hatred these hybrids have for humans is directly proportional to the pain they have suffered from humans."

Reasonable, but helpless.

This is a problem that is ingrained in this world and cannot be solved with just a few words.

As they were talking, the mountain road surrounded by dense woods suddenly opened up, and it seemed that they had reached their destination.

Next to a towering mountain, there is an extended flat area. The vegetation on it has been completely cleared, and now there are many simple wooden houses neatly arranged.

Beyond these houses, the area near the cliffs has been reclaimed as farmland. It's not very large, but it's thriving, and even now you can see people working.

"Oh, not bad~"

This scene was much better than Aize expected.

In his past career as a hero, he had also seen some villages with mixed blood.

Most of them are in a mess and smell terrible. Some don’t even have decent houses. They just use garbage picked up from somewhere to build a shed and use it as a shelter.

Compared to that, this place is simply a paradise on earth.

The only thing that spoils the view is that several houses near the entrance have been burned into ruins. Some of them are still emitting black smoke and the smell is very pungent and unpleasant.

Aize sniffed.

“What are these?”

"It was burned in the attack last night. We were holding the mountain pass, and the terrorists couldn't get in, so they fired rockets."

Grote pounded his palms, his ferocious features and gnashing teeth looking terrifying.

Aize continued to ask:

"Have they been coming here every day these days?"

"Well, it started about... three days ago."

“…Three days?”

Thinking of something, Aize's expression darkened. Anna, who had been looking at him, hurriedly asked:

"What's wrong, big brother? Is there a problem?"

"...No, no, please continue."

"We weren't prepared for the night raid three days ago, so many of our companions were captured. The next day, I led a fight with those bastards and lost many of our companions again, but we drove them away. And then, last night, they brought rockets..."

Having just suffered a disaster in the city, something like this happened again in her hometown. Anna's excitement about returning home had long since disappeared without a trace, and her expression gradually became sad.

Seeing her like this, Aize couldn't help but sigh and asked again:

"What did the attacker look like?"

"They wear different armor and are much harder to fight than the average bandit. Their weapons are also better."

As he spoke, Groot took off his wrist guard, and a deep wound could be clearly seen on his thick and hairy arm.

"The swords of ordinary bandits can't cut through my flesh, but those people's swords can."

The wounds from the Imperial saber were identical to those Aize had inflicted on himself for disguise.

It turned out to be a group of people.

Aize sighed:

"We've been repelled for three consecutive days, which means we haven't achieved our goal. There's a good chance they'll come again tonight... Okay, let's do this."

With an idea in mind, he looked at Villian:

"Can you make medicine?"

Witch's specialties: magic, puppets, and potions.

Potions made by combining various strange materials and injecting them with the witch's magic will have some strange effects that other potions do not have.

Villian thought about it and nodded:

"I guess I am, but not particularly proficient in puppets and magic. What do you want?"

Aize leaned in close to the other person's ear and whispered quietly. Villian crossed her arms and nodded as she listened:

"Hmm...Hmm...Hmm...Hmm? Are you serious!?"

Chapter 69: Alone and helpless...?

In order to catch up with Leah who was fleeing after breaking through the defense, Heidi rode a horse for a whole afternoon and half a night before finally finding Leah and others who were camping halfway.

According to Heidi's original idea, if she told Leah about Aize secretly arranging the land for the team, and combined it with her failed negotiation, she might be able to make her give in.

To give in means to let her apologize to Aize.

Seeing that Aize was already wavering, Heidi was confident that she could pull Aize back as long as Leah was willing to apologize slightly, in a small way, or even insincerely.

however--

"Hmph, that damned lord, is he afraid of the goddess's authority and so handed over the supplies?"

"What? Aize? This is very

What does that loser have to do with it? Even I, a true hero, couldn't convince that lord, so how could he, who has lost his identity, do it!?"

"And you, Heidi, since we're both protected, I'll let today's incident go. But next time, if you dare to speak up for that loser, don't blame me for being rude to you!!"

These three sentences caused Princess Wang's blood pressure to soar to 18.

Forget about using this matter to convince her to apologize to Aize. She even went a step further and refused to admit that this matter had anything to do with Aize.

It directly blocked all the roads.

At that moment, Heidi realized that it was stupid to have any expectations of Leah.

After all this trouble, it was already noon when Heidi returned to Tafia.

Another sleepless night, coupled with the double torture of extremely high blood pressure, made Heidi extremely haggard.

"Wow... I'm so sleepy——That crazy woman really dared to make me go here for nothing...Wow——"

The dizziness and nausea made her almost faint on the street.

Now is the critical time to find Aize. I have already wasted half a day and a night on that stupid woman. It makes my stomach hurt just thinking about it.

"No, I need to rest for a while..."

Although she wanted to rush to Aize immediately, Heidi also understood how bad her current condition was.

It would not be a fun thing if he died suddenly before bringing Aize back.

With this thought in mind, she staggered back to the hotel she had been staying at before.

Just as she was about to go upstairs to her room to sleep, the front desk staff called her.

"Guest, please wait a moment!"

Heidi stared with red eyes that were about to explode, turned her head and asked impatiently:
